Noble Renovation

Project Summary and Contractor Selection: Where to start, it’s been a long but amazing journey with Noble Renovation. Our project consisted of a whole house remodel with addition. With a project this large we needed to make sure we were very comfortable with the company and their suppliers/sub contractors. We met with multiple companies to discuss our project and to get a general ballpark of what it would look like in terms of execution and price. It was at this time that Noble Renovation stood out from the competition. We thought we knew exactly what we wanted to do in the house, but Steve and his tremendous background in the industry, provided fantastic ideas that made us reconsider some of the plans. A great example of this was a very small unused dining room we had next to the kitchen. Steve introduced us to an idea called a scullery which is essentially a glorified pantry. He showed us how it could be an extension of the kitchen and it made perfect sense. Design: We entered the design stage where we met Raul, who used CAD to show us different options. He displayed great talent to create a vision of our goals. He was very patient with us as we worked through various selections. We did our best to have all major selections done prior to construction beginning, but still had others that dragged on due to our indecisiveness. Again, he was very patient and followed up regularly to provide additional guidance. We even had a couple change orders where we updated the fireplace and expanded the mudroom/ guest bath. He quickly provided design renderings to help move that process along quickly. Execution: We met with Colton, who was the Super on our job. We knew that at some point we’d be relocating to an apartment and Noble did a great job of keeping us in the house while they worked the extension with minimal interruption. We were provided helpful updates throughout the project. If we had questions about anything or wanted additional information Colton was fast to provide. He was very into the details with all of their preferred contractors brought in to do work. He made sure the job site was as clean as possible, and it was obvious that there was a high level of respect between him and the other contractors. In addition, Steve and Raul would frequent to house make sure everything was going as expected. Overall: The house is beautiful and we’re very happy with the workmanship and the selections chosen. The new house configuration is much more functional and enjoyable. As with most projects of this magnitude there were some minor issues along the way. The team at Noble were very quick to understand and remedy. I was very impressed with their professionalism in how they handled our inquires all throughout. We have no hesitation to recommend Noble for your next project. Their track record will provide you peace of mind that everything will be completed as to your agreed upon plans.

We selected Noble Renovation to update our master bath and add porch, 2nd laundry, 2nd master closet, replaced carpet with hardwood stairs/new railing on both sets of stairs, replaced carpet with hardwood floor in first floor room and upstairs hallway and refreshed bedroom carpets throughout remainder of house. With the project now complete and about 3 months into enjoying our new spaces, we couldn’t be happier with Noble. Lots to say about Noble and Steve, but in a nutshell, we felt like Steve is a hands-on manager with great suggestions and a terrific team. They communicate very well; his project manager and designer are both outstanding, and his subcontractors are responsive and dependable. Design Aesthetically, Noble’s in-house designer was outstanding throughout. He quickly learned our design preferences and was flexible in making suggestions, offering alternatives and sometimes, just having a conversation about items we selected where potentially even better options existed. Subsequent to these designs, he generated 3D renderings of the look which were terrific for refining designs, assuring us everything would look ok and sharing with friends and family prior to the work being initiated. Renovation process Once in process, it is encouraging to see progress almost every day. Noble maintains a program management system which articulates which contractors will be on site, and nearly every day either Steve or his project manager were there to oversee the work and tidy toward the end of the day. Additionally, having them there daily allowed ample homeowner-GC conversation to catch things in real time and review areas of concern before potential issues could escalate. Structural stability On our project, and particularly in some areas of concern we had with framing stability, he both specified materials and used a design that exceeded engineering requirements. He also upgraded fasteners in key areas to insure stability. In several of our weather-facing areas, he was very particular about interfaces to ensure driving rain would not penetrate our structure. Financial I don't think Noble is the least expensive renovation option available, but they are fair, and the quality reflects their overall desire to create solid and esthetically pleasing living spaces. Price-wise they came in within 5% of their estimate which we consider acceptable. Having seen the materials and care that goes into their work, my wife and I both feel like this is money very well spent. During the course of a whole house renovation, minor mistakes will happen. We felt like Noble responded positively and fairly in each instance. We will probably do a kitchen renovation next and likely won’t even interview any other subcontractors. We highly recommend Steve and his team for renovation work.

Steve and his crew from the very start of our project did an excellent job. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, any schedule changes were all thoroughly communicated and followed through. We highly recommend Noble Renovation !

Noble Renovation did a beautiful job helping us finish our entire third floor (attic) space. From presenting fantastic floorplan options to considering all the minor details, Noble Renovation was there to guide us on all decisions. The entire team was very professional throughout the entire project, being extremely communicative, courteous, available, and very considerate of our family's needs. Their level of project management expertise, along with their online portal, provided us with great confidence from start to finish. We have received so many compliments on our new space!

Very impressed with Noble's Management Team! Very professional, courteous, interactive and communicative. Our job was very tedious and their expertise guided us through a very detailed job. We could not be happier with our renovation!

Noble Renovation is outstanding. It is so refreshing to work with knowledgeable experts who are creative, flexible, reliable and honest/trustworthy. Steve and Colton have such a great attention to detail and made certain to be present at all the right times during the process to manage each and every sub-contractor. Our home is now stunning! We love the work you did so very much. Our newly remodeled kitchen, refinished hardwoods and newly painted interior throughout the house turned out even better than we ever imagined. We are so appreciative of all the Noble Renovation Team (specifically Steve and Colton) did. We appreciate your graciousness when we were feeling stressed and didn’t communicate as well as we could have. Thank you for taking such great care to communicate with us and take care of our time, space and pets. Since we started our project we felt feel like everyone we spoke to has told us a nightmare stories of their renovations. Every time I have said out loud…. Ours has been quite the opposite, we couldn’t be happier with the Noble Renovation Team.

We did a large project with Steve - moved the kitchen to another room, moved/removed walls, added a bar, replaced the flooring, replaced many windows/doors, added a ceiling to create an office upstairs, completely rearranged our master bath and closet; it was massive. Lots of decisions, lots of stuff to move out, including ourselves for a while. We received photo/video updates everyday on what had taken place. Steve would identify any issues or questions that needed to be resolved. He would point out things that needed to change or perhaps needed to be done (redone) by a contractor in order to meet his (and our) expectations. We were often behind schedule in selections but never felt any frustration from Steve. The two things I appreciate most about Steve: 1) his belief that he's working for us, we just need to let him know what we want and 2) his attention to detail. Would certainly recommend him and his team.

Noble Renovation was outstanding! Steve and team did an attic space renovation (which included some tricky roof and ceiling work), plus a master bath renovation. Throughout the project Steve provided creative ideas as to how best to utilize our space. Steve's experience and input were very helpful in creating a perfect space for us. We really enjoyed working with Steve's crews. They were professional, highly skilled and did amazing work. Colton has very good attention to detail and was always available to problem solve and keep the project moving. Overall, Steve and the Noble Renovations team are good, trustworthy people and that is so important on a major renovation project. The next time we need renovation work done we will be calling Steve. Thanks for a job well done!

I recently employed Noble Renovation to my finish basement. The project was to turn my unfinished, 900 sf space into a movie theater, bar area, general purpose room and half bathroom. The biggest thing for me that one needs from a contractor coming into your home is trust, and Steve Noble very quickly earns your trust. My project came with some specific requirements for the movie room, not least of which was a significant amount of soundproofing. Even before the contract was signed Steve did the necessary research to understand it and was very attentive and accommodating of the smallest of details that come with effective soundproofing. We were very satisfied with the quality of his work also. The trim guys he uses were particularly good. He lets you know what work is scheduled that day/week etc and even though we suffered a few weeks delay (not Steve's fault) he still got the work finished by Xmas as he had promised. Steve visits the project regularly and oversees progress, updates you etc rather than just calling subcontractors and letting them sort it out. You can probably find contractors that are cheaper than Noble, but his pricing is very transparent and certainly reasonable, and when it comes to home remodeling, you absolutely get what you pay for. We were certainly left content that we got a great product and value for our money. I would absolutely recommend Noble Renovation to anyone looking for any kind of remodel and Steve is a pleasure to work with, who takes pride in both his work and his customers.

Noble did a terrific job in planning and building our 3 season deck. They showed up as scheduled until the job was completed and always made certain the area was cleaned up. The workers were extremely professional and real craftsmen. I would highly recommend Noble Renovation for any project.

We partnered with Noble Renovation to build a new three-season porch and to add an upstairs dormer to our Cape Cod. From the start, the team was helpful and engaging. Steve participated in multiple plan reviews with our Architect and immediately brought his experience and expertise to light. As a result, we started with a much better design. Steve’s project management expertise and discipline dictated that every aspect of the project be identified and addressed prior to project start. And once we started, we were amazed at the pace of project and quality of work. Communication was frequent, clear and accurate. The online portal and mobile app were unexpected features and further increased our confidence in the project progress. Steve never came to us with an issue without also having several options; all of which were well-thought and feasible. There were no unexpected surprises and any change orders were a result of our choice or decision. Most importantly, we finished on time, on budget and love the results. We are so happy to have worked with Noble Renovation. We plan to remodel our kitchen in a few years and would not think of considering anyone else.

We used Noble Renovation for the remodel of our basement and worked directly with Steve . Initial project planning was thorough and a clear plan put in place up front, along with cost expectations. Easy to work with, open to suggestions and we felt very much a part of the team throughout the project. All of his Contractors were respectful and tidy . He was onsite most days , kept commitments and responded immediately to any problems that came up. Excellent after service follow up and all of the small detail final touch up work completed This was a low stress efficiently run and highly successful project which was down to Steve’s up front planning, meticulous daily attention and accommodating demeanor. We found him to be trustworthy, respectful, open and honest and a pleasure to work with. Steve will be our go to person for any future work and we have no hesitation in highly recommending Noble Renovation.
