Dewayne & his team have been awesome! We got their name from some good friends of ours & have been so lucky. From the start to the finish they have been professional & so polite. The work they completed was excellent with every attention to detail. We have used them on 2 projects for our home and we will use them again in the future. We recommend Renovate Memphis to all our family & friends. You will be happy you used them too!

Had Dwayne fix what another contractor screwed up.  His crew came out and re-did the siding on my new addition.   Fair price, and prompt service.  Would highly recommend.

They did an excellent job. When mistakes were made they were corrected. We had the unusual delays and it took longer than we hoped, but we are very happy with the result. Dwayne was responsive to our requests and concerns. We were not the easiest clients because we had no firm  conception of what we wanted. So he was patient as we worked that out with his consultant.

Overall I've had a great experience with Renovate Memphis.  They remodeled my guest bathroom, my kitchen and my living room.  It started a little slow but the end product was great.  My kitchen and bathroom are both exquisite.  The after support was even better.  I had appliances purchased AFTER the renovations were complete, Dewayne or a member of his crew came out and installed them for me almost immediately (wine cooler & microwave drawer).  The team has gone the extra mile for me on more than one occasion.  When upgrading my master bath (vanity & floors) the team painted and installed (custom built) a shelf/counter space.  When installing my microwave we realized it didn't include a framing kit, his team made one for me out of extra cabinet pieces!

Overall they are a great team who do quality work.  It's a plus that my pit bull loved them as well!

Owner's reply
Thank you for your kind words! We really appreciate the words of encouragement. We enjoyed working with you as well!

Dewayne and his crew added on a Master bathroom, sunroom, walk-in closet and laundry room. Unfortunately we started this project during COVID, and the supply chain issue. It took longer than expected, which was frustrating. We're pleased with the finished product, but next time we'll just move!

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to work with you, Mrs. Laura! Looking forward to working with you again in the future!

Renovate Memphis did an awesome job working with me after a huge tree falling on a portion of my house, causing a lot of damage. Timely, very professional and even arranged an interior clean up after the work was completed. Definitely a stressful time for anyone and RM and Dewayne made the process easy and affordable.

I have done business with the owner of Renovate Memphis for many years.  I constantly refer people to them because of their dependability and workmanship.  Everyone I have referred sings their praises through the whole process and even more when the work is complete.  You can't go wrong with Renovate Memphis!

Renovate Memphis does exceptional work. They built a new shower for us and did a wonderful job.  In addition to the good work they do, the owner is awesome in how he communicates all of the details of the project.  I was always kept up to date and included on all of the specific details. Highly recommend!

I had a kitchen renovation and added on a laundry room. Dewayne, Seth, and the rest of the team were very easy to work with. They communicated well as issues inevitably arose and made sure that everything was to my satisfaction. Reliable, professional, easy to get ahold of, great craftsmanship, and fairly priced. I will definitely use them again for future projects.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

It was a pleasure working with you on the kitchen renovation and laundry room addition. Seth and the rest of the team will be glad to hear that you enjoyed working with them as much as we enjoyed working with you.

We take a lot of pride in doing good work, communicating throughout the project, and making sure everything is right before we call it finished. Hearing that you’d trust us with future projects means a lot.

Looking forward to working with you again!

A pleasure to work with Dewayne to come up with plans to tear down old deck and build screened in porch. The porch came out amazing and we have been using it everyday since it’s been completed. Very good at communicating timelines and schedule changes due to weather.

Owner's reply
Thanks John! We appreciate your kind words! Looking forward to the next project with you.

Update: We had a productive meeting on 10/27 and are working towards an amicable solution. Will continue to update.

Key Points: our ongoing experience with Renovate Memphis has been and continues to be fraught with delays, poor communication, contract discrepancies, and numerous quality control issues. We continue to have to closely oversee the project and, frequently, feel we are the ones managing it. We hope to reach a resolution, but it's been a challenging journey.

Dewayne and his team at Renovate Memphis promised a "turn-key service" on their website, but our experience has been far from that. We engaged them for a major project and, unfortunately, we've faced a series of issues and frustrations.

Communication: One of the biggest problems has been the lack of communication. We were assured of regular updates, but these were sporadic at best, leaving us in the dark about the progress of our project for extended periods.

Work Delays: Our project was initially projected to take around 16-20 weeks. Unfortunately, it's now over 39 weeks and counting. Not only is this a significant delay, but it's deeply frustrating as our home has been turned into a construction site for much longer than we anticipated.

Inadequate planning: Part of the work delays were a result of permeating issues. We were never included in communication  between the city and Renovate Memphis. After week's of delay - we called the city ourselves and were able to resolve all the issues and get approval in 30 minuets. Other planning issues include: leaving things off the budget like a toilet, severally underestimating the amount of drywall needed, being surprised we had a gas dryer when all client supplied materials and appliances were shared months prior with links to manuals and installation instructions.

Contract Discrepancies: There have been several discrepancies between what was agreed upon in our contract and the work that has been done. Notably, there were issues with materials like siding and crown molding that didn't match the original plans. Other contract discrepancies include having to pay extra to repair and replace wood rot when the contracted stated that all wood rot would be repaired, replaced and readied to be painted.

Quality Control: Multiple quality control issues arose throughout the project. From tile grout to flooring placement, insulation, and even small details like window's being sealed, we had to constantly identify and request corrections. We have a run of molding outside that does not match any of the other molding.  The floors were installed incorrectly per manufacturer's instructions - we  had to point this out and now have yet another delays as we wait for them to install them correctly.  This has been a source of ongoing frustration.

Payment and Change Orders: There have been numerous instances where change orders were initiated without prior approval, and without clear disclosure of additional costs. We incurred unexpected expenses that were not part of the original scope of work, leading to budget discrepancies. Examples include: gutters removed and replaced and a portion of the roof replaced.   There were additional cost that were promised to be covered, but then reneged. Other cost were never mentioned until a bill was sent - for example, when walking though with the project manager, he asked where we wanted outlets placed - it was only after the fact did we get a bill for all the outlets. He told us to add as many as we wanted that since everything was open and being rewired to add as many as we could possibly need.

Encouragement to Others: We urge others who have experienced or are experiencing similar issues with their renovation projects to review and report their experiences as well. It's important to hold contractors accountable for the promises they make and to share your experiences to help fellow homeowners make informed decisions.
