Homeowner and Repeat Client- ENVISION/ Envision Homes was absolutely wonderful to work with! They were extremely professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pro for their next project.

Robert is very passionate about his work! He is highly detail oriented, encourages sustainability for any size project, and is budget conscious. I highly recommend Envision and will continue to refer him to my clients!

As an architect, I get to work with a lot of builders. Robert’s building knowledge and passion for doing the right thing is incredible. He will ensure your home gets built well at a great value – and he takes that very seriously.

Six years ago, Robert & crew did a tear down/remodel of my kitchen, which I was very pleased with. Saturday, the kitchen sink that was installed as part of that remodel failed. Since it’d been 6 years, I wasn’t sure Robert would remember the job or fix the issue, but I didn’t need to worry. He sent someone out the very next business day. Apparently they don’t mount under-mount sinks the way mine was mounted any more. Tim quickly figured out a retro-fit solution and we were back in business. Great customer service and will continue to recommend Robert & crew!

Robert & crew came as a recommendation from a highly discerning friend. I knew that if he was happy with Robert’s work, I would not be let down.

The scope of work on my project was a complete tear-down and re-build of a kitchen. It involved a new vent-hood to the outside, piping in gas, new electrical, and plumbing… plus all new cabinets, appliances, light fixtures, and so forth.

I interviewed, and obtained bids from, several contractors. I won’t bury the lead: Robert has an eye for detail and he and his crew are efficient professionals, who deliver high-quality work. He took full responsibility for his subs, and the project came together seamlessly.

Robert earned my business from the start by:
– Being responsive. Emails, phone calls, texts– Robert is on the ball with communication.
– Showing up on time. Every time.
– Having a great vision. Robert listens to your needs and offers up suggestions along the way. This helped me think through how I wanted my project to shape up and came by my house several times throughout the bid process to rethink/requote/retool my bid.
– Ongoing communication. He made thoughtful suggestions about how best to stage the work-site. Gave me a rough (but accurate) idea of what the timeline of the project would be. Then, met with me weekly to discuss progress and work any necessary changes into the mix.

My project progressed on time, all the way through to the end. The crew was enthusiastic, friendly, and genuinely seem to like each other & their jobs. The work site was left clean and safe every day. Effective venting and dust barriers minimized the impact to the rest of the living space. When original fir was found under the linoleum we’d agreed to demo? Robert called a halt to the work and helped me think through how best to proceed (keep it, obviously!). A new wall was not to Robert’s standard– so he had his guy tear it out and re-work it. Just a few examples of why I’d not hesitate to use Envision again, and have already recommended them to several friends.

So many businesses say they stand behind their work, but too few actually do.  Envision Homes does!  Recently a floor board cracked in our almost 100-year old home, which was remodeled top-to-bottom 5 years ago by Envision Homes.  At the time, we decided to leave the floor intact, so Envision Homes didn’t remove or replace the wood floor, so when a floor board cracked…I just reached out to the owner, Robert Burns, for recommendations for a flooring expert.  Instead of just giving me a name, Robert fixed the problem!  Tim Maciasz, his manager and site supervisor, made time right away to inspect the floor.  Just a day or so later, he came by and fixed it…incredibly quickly and so well that I can’t even tell there had been a problem in the first place.  These guys are priceless!

Envision Homes did an AMAZING job on the major remodel of my home.  Robert and his crew raised the house, re-poured the foundation, rebuilt the walls (moving quite a few to create great storage and more living space!), updated the gas/electric/plumbing, and re-sided and painted everything.  They made what could easily have been a miserable experience an absolutely wonderful one!  

Robert’s attention to detail is incredible, and I think he was even more particular than I was about making everything perfect.  And he has an incredible eye!  He made a lot of very good suggestions for changes to our original plan – all of which have made our house even more special.  He was also right on budget, which was a huge feat in an of itself on such a big job.  He worked really well with our architect (Josh at International Architecture), the inspectors, the subs, the bank and (of course) us.  Also, when he says he stands behind his work, you can absolutely believe it.  We had some trouble with tile around the fireplace, and Robert replaced it (at no cost to us) and worked with the supplier until we were happy.  …

I am SO happy with what Robert and Envision Homes did for us…I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Robert and his crew at Envision Homes just completed a small structural remodel (replaced a bearing wall with a ceiling beam and supports) in our 1945 home.  We can’t say enough good things about these guys.

The remodel looks fantastic.  The crew was on-time and kept the work site tidy.  Robert Burns, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with–responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and an all around good guy. Moreover, the price was very reasonable.  Robert prepared a detailed bid.  The final invoice was pretty much spot on and totally in line with our expectations.

Robert and his team were really great to work with. The bidding process was the most logical and transparent one I encountered. He was flexible, professional, and responsive throughout the development of the project, helping us to make choices that suited our needs and budget. The guys he had working in our house were thoughtful, professional, good at communicating with us, and did high quality work. Adjustments to the project were made in a transparent and fair manner throughout the project. He managed his subs well, taking the effort to follow up with them on anything that needed it. When we encountered the unexpected problems, he took it on himself to help us solve the problems above and beyond his responsibility. And when he made a mistake, which happens, he totally owned it and resolved it. Overall, a real pleasure to work with, and I have already referred him to others.

Robert and his crew at Envision Homes just completed the work. We can’t say enough good things about these guys. The remodel looks fantastic. The drywall is perfect. The bamboo floor is such a close match, we have to look very hard to see where the planks were installed. You can’t tell work was done, which was the desired outcome for our projec). The crew was on-time and kept the work site tidy. Robert Burns, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with–responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and an all around good guy. Moreover, the price was very reasonable. Robert prepared a detailed bid. The final invoice was pretty much spot on and totally in line with our expectations. I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat.

Robert and his team, particularly Tim, completely remodeled our Bellevue townhouse from the studs up and we couldn’t be more pleased. Our house is now a terrific home! Quality work at a good value and with the kind of personal attention that copes with a process that had a few surprises when the walls and floors were opened. Robert is always there for us, even years later when we flooded a bathroom. You’ll want to do business with him!

We have used Robert and Envision Homes for three separate remodels in our home, including the most recent remodel, which was an extensive upgrade to the flow, main living areas, and kitchen space. One real estate agent who reviewed it called it a “Top 3 remodel he’s ever seen in his life.” More importantly, we, absolutely love the end result. Robert is communicative, responsive, and experienced. He has high expectations for quality workmanship and finish.

Robert and team remodeled our powder room. They did an excellent job and were very nice to work with. Afterwards, I discussed having another bathroom in our house remodeled and Robert spent an hour talking me out of it. Amazing! Great to work with people of such high integrity and so generous with his time. I highly recommend Envision.

Robert did a covered deck and Nanawall project for us and it turned out amazing. He stands by his work and makes sure every detail is done to the highest standard.
