DeHaan Remodeling Specialists, Inc.

We collaborate with DeHaan Remodeling on specialty door and sunroom projects outside our own business scope. Couldn't ask for a better team to work with, and would definitely recommend their services.

The DeHaan Remodeling Specialists is a team of highly talented professionals. Years of experience and customer satisfaction have led to the building of this skilled all inclusive team. If you've seen any of this teams homes, the words that comes to mind to best describe them is impressive and beautiful. I appreciated working with this team during the Parade of Homes. At a time when there are close deadlines and a lot of pressure with much going on, it was impressive to see an organized yet professional group of experience at work. The end result was so beautiful.

I had them estimate an addition for me and he was very complete, professional, on time and gave me multiple options. He was able to see challenges that, I as a home owner, didn't see or know. When we go ahead with the addition, it will be with them!

DeHaan Remodeling has done four different jobs for me over the past three years, including my kitchen/TV room, a deck, and three bathrooms. In each case, I have been very satisfied. The DeHaans and all of their subcontractors have been great to work with. Both the designs and the workmanship have been top notch. I'm especially happy with the excellent communication I have received along the way during each project. I have recommended DeHaan to many people and will continue to do so.

have had the privilege of working with DeHaan Remodeling Specialists (DRS) for 5+ years now as their marketing/design firm. Since our job is to create the materials that promote their business, we must work very closely together. In doing so you learn a lot about the character of a company; their core values, their work ethic and their vision for the future. I was impressed with Bob and Mary DeHaan from the very first day we met and continue to be so. Their candor, approachability and level of professionalism are a rare combination to find. Bob is a Professional Remodeler, not a new home builder, and he takes great pride in that. At first I didn't really understand what the big difference was. I figured, like most people, if you were a good builder you should be able to do home remodeling work as well. But that is just not the case. Building techniques and codes have changed drastically over the years. And while a new home builder may be up-to-date on the latest building methods, a Professional Remodeler is acutely aware of the differences in the inner workings of a home built 10 years ago versus 50 or 100 years ago. The dedication Bob has to expanding his knowledge and training not only makes him a highly sought after Expert but constantly reminds me about his unwavering commitment to his craft. He has earned and maintains special designations as a CGR (Certified Graduate Remodeler), a CAPS (certified Aging-in-Place Specialist) and an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm. Allowing someone to come into your home to do remodeling work isn't an easy decision to make. They will be coming into your private, personal space and tearing down walls and fixtures and making a mess. You may not be home to supervise the work and so you'll want to make sure it is someone that you can trust. It would be great if we all had a master remodeler in the family that could do the work to help give us peace of mind. Fortunately, I feel that is what you get when you hire DeHaan Remodeling Specialists – a personable, trusted, family member that is looking out for the best interests of your family. As a Professional Remodeler with 35+ years of experience, Bob understands that he will be coming to work in a functioning household and that he'll be a part of your daily life for the duration of the project. Over the years I've had to conduct interviews with past customers for various articles or features, and the same underlining factor always resonates from each person I speak with...."the whole team was so thoughtful through the whole process"..."everything was cleaned up at the end of each day, which was awesome to come home to"..."Bob said he wouldn't start any demolition until everything arrived for the project, so there would be no delays once they started." Time and time again, I heard stories about how Bob was extremely sensitive to making the whole process as convenient as possible. I am certain that is why they have so many repeat customers, people who have over the years had Bob remodel their entire homes, room by room. As far as the quality of their work goes.... I think the pictures on this site speak for themselves. The team at DRS really know how to capture each homeowner's personality and style in the work that they do. If you are considering a remodeling project for your own home, I recommend you give DeHaan Remodeling Specialists a call when conducting your interviews. You'll be glad that you did.

Full disclosure: I have done promotional photography work for DeHaan Remodeling Specialists for approximately 15 years. While this may lead some to conclude I have a vested interest in the company, it also means I have had the opportunity to examine in close detail many, many more of their projects than the average homeowner would ever be able to see. In addition to photography, I have been a licensed residential building contractor for close to 30 years, and I worked as a private home inspector for nine years. So my eye is perhaps more critical than most. And what I have seen doing photography for DeHaan Remodeling Specialists over this span of time, over dozens of projects, has been top quality, professional work, delivered in a timely manner. While writing newspaper and magazine articles about remodeling work I have had the opportunity to interview Bob DeHaan on several occasions. The reason I keep going back to him is that he has knowledge and insights about the business that can only be gleaned through years of experience. What is interesting about the company is that they aren’t stuck in one way of doing things. They keep up with the latest trends in materials and methodology in this fast-changing field, and constantly strive to work more efficiently with less disruption to their customers. Those efforts are one reason DeHaan Remodeling Specialists has so many repeat customers. Remodeling is stressful for the homeowner, and DeHaan Remodeling Specialists has studied well the ways of making it less so for their clients. Scheduling, working with competent subcontractors, and being realistic about timetables and expectations are the strong points on which this company built its reputation. It is worth noting that DeHaan Remodeling Specialists is a remodeling company, not a home builder that also does remodeling work on the side. This specialization – this expert focus on one area of the building field – is worth tapping for your remodeling project. Whether it’s an addition, a new kitchen or bathroom, a basement do-over, or implementing strategies to enable aging in place, it is worth your while to have DeHaan Remodeling Specialists take a look at the job.
