“Rafe and his crew were marvelous to work with. They were involved in the remodeling of our kitchen and two baths. As a design professional who has supervised many remodels for others, I would recommend this company highly. All work was done on time and within budget.”

“The owner, Rafe, provided a detailed bid and started the remodel on time and completed on time- about 8 weeks for a whole house remodel (kitchen, bathrooms, living area). During the remodel there were a few design changes, mostly due my decisions, and these updates were handled smoothly. During the demolition, the house was kept tidy and all debris & trash were removed. Communications were good and an adequate level throughout the process. We are very happy with the work during the construction and quality once completed. As is often the case, there were “punch list” items that needed adjustment/fixing (e.g. grout cracks, paint touch ups, plumbing leaks/fixtures) after completion and these were all taken care of with complete satisfaction. I would highly recommend Big Tyke (Rafe Teich). In fact, I hope to have him do additional work for me in the future on another project.”

“I hired Rafe and his crew to remodel my kitchen and master bath, remove popcorn from the living room, add some new lighting, replace most of the flooring, and paint. I had never hired a contractor before, but after getting three bids, his was the only one that was even close to my very tight budget, and he explained the process and options in a way that made me feel immediately comfortable. He completed the work on time and on budget, and after some minor misunderstanding toward the end, to my satisfaction. As someone who has never undergone a renovation before, it was important to me to really understand what would be done and how. He answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns with patience, and went above and beyond the scope of work to make the living room look good next to the remodeled kitchen. I’m satisfied with the work that has been done and plan to hire him again to continue with the updates.”

“Big Tyke Construction executed a complete home remodel project for us. This included gutting and re-configuring the kitchen and two baths, removal of all floor coverings, removing and opening walls, installing new doors and windows, and installing ceiling fans and new lighting. Every surface of the home was updated, refinished, or replaced. Rafe and his crew worked long hours and sometimes six- or seven-day weeks to keep the job on schedule. Rafe’s employees were always pleasant and conscientious and their work was well-done. They worked hard to deal with any problems or questions that came up. Rafe is especially resourceful and creative in suggesting cost-effective solutions to challenging situations. It was only the tiling subcontractors who slowed the project down and performed less than satisfactory work by our standards. This became a source of frustration for both Rafe and us as homeowners. Overall, we are pleased with the transformation that Big Tyke Construction made to our home and it was a pleasure working with them. We would recommend them for any remodeling or new construction project, especially one where Rafe would do any tile work himself.”
