Confirming what another reviewer has noted, I have also received a notification that Jamie Craig (the owner) and Renaissance Restorations have filed Chapter 11. So, I don't need to go into too much detail about what a nightmare my experience with this company was. Just look at the reviews from the past two years, it will tell you all you need to know. A rude and arrogant owner, mostly inexperienced and careless subcontractors, failed inspections, and a timeline three times longer and started four months later than originally estimated. Hiring Renaissance Restorations was the worst mistake of my life, and that's not hyperbole.
I know the renovation market is nuts right now, and builders are booked up a year or more, but please don't make the same mistake I did, simply because Jamie promises you he can start soon. It's an empty promise, and you won't be satisfied with the experience or the end product.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We hired them to fix our slate roof and they did barely okay. The owner wanted as much money up front as possible. They did a horrible job at replacing our eves and then they did not install the leaf guards as promised and paid for. We now have more damage to our roof that we need to pay again to have fixed - NOT going to use them ever again. The owner is a shallow front for cheap and inexperienced subcontractors.

Do not use this company! Run! The owner doesn't go on site, hires cheapest sub contractors without oversight, knows very little about building.

The absolute worst customer service we have ever experienced. The accounting is suspect and the contractor is one of the rudest people I have ever dealt with. I wish I could give them zero stars. I would not recommend that anyone hire this company for any job. The ceiling is cracking. The trim is separating from the walls. The bathroom sprung a leak and damaged our vanity and our kitchen ceiling. Jamie Craig used threatening language on one phone call with my wife and then again in a voicemail, that I still have saved if anyone would like to hear it.
I know that he offered to help us out in the future but seeing as how he and anyone representing his company aren't allowed in my house, that's definitely not going to happen. Furthermore, reading through other reviews, it is obvious that someone is creating fake accounts to give good reviews. There are several reviews that are word-for-word duplicates of other positive reviews. If I were you, I'd be weary of any 5 star ratings.
