What Homeowners Are Saying
These reviews are from my flooring & renovation business. The same integrity and expertise now guide Renovation Shield.
I started Renovation Shield after 25+ years in construction to give homeowners peace of mind. My role is simple: protect your project, your budget, and your expectations.
Did you know?
-Customers are all different and so are contractors!
Just because 2 guys are carpenters, flooring installers, Tile installers etc. That doesn't mean they do the same type of work or even have the same type of service. Many skilled tradesman work in unoccupied homes solely their whole lives. Others like myself work mostly in Occupied homes. Renovating the home over a week or 3 months while you and your children try to keep your busy schedules. I'm a master at working with families to get the work done with as little inconvenience to their lives as possible! Contractors who solely work new construction, commercial construction or in the REI industry are fish out of water in an occupied home!
-Not all bids are created equal.
“Why do homeowners have such different experiences with contractors?” Two bathrooms may look the same on paper, but one customer expects basic function while the others expect high-end detail and a higher level of service.
-To keep cashflow moving, contractors sometimes bid low just to win the job.
Later, they realize they can’t deliver at that price and end up rushing or cutting corners. This doesn’t make them “bad” it just means the numbers didn’t line up. Renovation Shield helps spot this before you sign.
-Contractors often “bid with their own wallet.”
Some contractors feel guilty charging for higher-quality work. They underprice, stretch materials, or try to do too much with too little. I make sure you understand what you’re paying for — so expectations match reality.
-Acting as your own general contractor is riskier than you think.
When you hire trades directly, you’ve stepped into the GC role — with all the responsibilities and liabilities that come with it. Many homeowners don’t realize this until problems arise. I help you handle those responsibilities with tools, checklists, and milestone reviews.
-Daily site inspections matter.
Homeowners often assume “the contractor’s got it covered,” but small issues compound quickly. Even five minutes a day walking your project can save weeks of delay later. I show you what to look for, and when to call me in for a second opinion.

FAQ
Q: Do you replace my contractor?
A: No. Renovation Shield does not replace your contractor. I provide independent oversight to help you avoid costly mistakes, make informed decisions, and keep communication clear. Think of me as a second set of eyes — protecting your investment while your contractor does the work.
Q: Will this upset my contractor?
A: Not at all. My role is to make the job smoother for both you and your contractor. I translate expectations into plain language, review estimates or progress at key milestones, and help prevent misunderstandings before they turn into conflicts. Many contractors appreciate having someone involved who understands both sides.
Q: Do I have to involve my contractor?
A: That’s up to you. Some homeowners prefer to keep me in the background for reassurance, while others introduce me directly to their contractor so everyone is on the same page. Either way, I’m here to protect you and your project.
Q: Why do different contractors quote such different prices for the same bathroom?
A: Two bathrooms may look the same on paper, but one customer expects basic function while the other expects high-end detail and service. Renovation Shield helps make those expectations crystal clear before the contract is signed.
Q: Why do some contractors underbid and then underdeliver?
A: Many good contractors are highly skilled but lack business training. To keep cashflow moving, they may bid low just to win the job. Later, they find it difficult to deliver at that price. I help you catch this problem early, before you sign, so you get the quality you expect without surprises.
Q: Why do contractors sometimes feel like they’re overcharging?
A: Some contractors “bid with their own wallet.” They feel guilty charging for higher-quality work, so they underprice and try to stretch the budget. I help make sure expectations are realistic and aligned, so no one feels taken advantage of.
