We recently had our two upstairs bathrooms renovated by Garas Remodeling and we are SO HAPPY with how it has all turned out!! Garas Remodeling is very reasonably priced without compromising on quality. (The bid we received from them at the outset was significantly less than other bids we had received from their competitors!) The vendors and subs they work with are all top notch professionals and each did a fabulous job on our project. Ken and Jaime Garas (the owners) were wonderful to work with, they were always accessible and involved every step along the way, stopping by frequently to see how the project was progressing. So if you are thinking of a renovation project, we highly recommend Garas Remodeling ☺️

We had our basement finished and Garas Remodeling did a great job! They explained the process and gave pictures of what it would look like. Their subcontractors were great too! Ken and Jaime came out often to see how the job was going. Would definitely recommend them!Wayne and Rita

We are very happy with our basement remodel and highly recommend Garas Remodeling. We remodeled a large basement space into two finished bedrooms. They were communicative, timely, and professional, and the quality of work is excellent.

Working with Garas Remodeling was so easy. They radiate professionalism yet are easy to connect to. My deck re-face was started quicker than expected and completed without delays. Best of all the quote was the best out of the three I obtained.

We highly recommend Garas Remodeling for home improvements in the Rochester area. At our first meeting with Ken and Jamie, we immediately knew we had found the right people to coordinate and complete our home renovations. The entire process of constructing a new Trex deck and then doing a total bathroom remodel was a wonderful experience and exceded our expectations in every way. Ken, Jaimie, and the professionals they partner with went above and beyond in their commitment to providing us with excellent organization and coordination of the projects, quality products, exceptional and talented craftsmen, and beautiful results. Ken and Jaime provided outstanding customer service and we appreciate their values, integrity, availability for questions, exceptional level of caring and communication, daily checkins and updates on plans and progress, their knowledge, and attention to details which made our experience fun with "no worries". Thank you to everyone on the amazing Garas team for your timely and beautiful work - Ken, Jamie, carpenter/project leader Shane, Garrett, and Tyler, the vendors and other subcontractors. You have our highest recommendations!

We have had the pleasure of working with Garas Remodeling and their team for a while now. It is so refreshing to hear clients rave about their contractor and how their project is going. It seems that Jaime and Ken do not miss a thing. From taking care of their clients homes as if it was their own to being an active part in their community in Byron, MN. If you are contemplating a remodel call Garas Remodeling today and experience their stellar customer service, one on one client meetings, and network of professionals.

I chose Gara Remodeling after getting 3 bids on redoing my deck. Ken, his wife, his carpenter, Shane, and crew were very good to work with. Ken was really easy to communicate with and was responsive. The deck turned out great! I appreciated Ken and crew being helpful, friendly and doing professional work. Have given out the company name to others.

Before we started our project, we got bids. Most contractors could not start our project for 9 months to a year from the time we got our estimate. Garas remodeling was able to begin within 3 months of the estimate. Additionally, Garas was half the price of our highest estimate. We were a little apprehensive of choosing them because of these extreme differences. I am happy to say we have absolutely no regrets! The reason for the ability to start our project sooner is because Garas Remodeling does not overextend themselves. Ken and Jaime only commit to the volume of work that they can manage and are committed to keeping a close eye on the work of their subcontractors. Each day during the process they would stop in and check on the progress as it was happening or shortly after a contractor left and would follow up with an email on the process. Ken and Jaime have high expectations of their subcontractors and have even higher expectations than we did. Through the process I had questions or concerns and Ken was quick to answer with clear answers. We gave our budget and the ideas we had in mind. We became overwhelmed at times with options or choices and the businesses that they chose to do our work were so good about guiding us through this. Never did anyone try to upsell us and we kept the project within our budget. Ken and Jaime go above and beyond. An example of that is our appliances. We ordered those ourselves and there was quite a delay in getting our microwave. When I mentioned that to Ken in passing he said, “lLet me take care of that.” Impressively, he picked up our microwave the next day and it was installed the same day. He didn’t have to do that. He just cares that much. If you reach out to them for work and they say they turn it down, it’s not that they can’t. Timelines are important to them and they don’t want to overextend themselves realtime g in an unsatisfied customer. The Garas family truly are great people and I’m going to miss their daily check ins. I read a review where they were referenced as the Chip and Joanna Gaines of Rochester. I couldn’t agree more! We absolutely love our new kitchen!

We had an amazing experience working with Garas Remodeling while renovating two bathrooms with new countertops, showers, flooring, trim and paint. From picking out our products to personally introducing us to every crew member that would be in our home working on our project, Ken and Jaime go above and beyond with their attention to detail and a level of communication that ensures the whole process runs smoothly. Highly recommend them for all your home improvement needs. A big shout out to their project manager/lead installer Shane as well, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks guys, we love the Onyx product and can't wait to show everyone!!

I chose Garas Remodeling over four other contractors to tackle the refacing of my deck, and I'm glad I did! Ken and Jaime were very pleasant to deal with and eager to make the project a success from start to finish. Their crew did top-notch work at a very reasonable price. I would certainly recommend Garas to others for their home improvement projects!

EXCELLENT Service! Our new house didn't have a deck and knew we needed one once spring came. Ken and his team built the deck last December/this January. They just put the finishing touches on with a gate and lights. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and cannot wait for warmer days to enjoy the new deck!

The Garas team is very easy to work with. They are efficient and conscientious to make sure the project is professionally completed in a timely manner. I highly recommend them for any remodeling project and will use them again if the need arises.

Ken and team are very, very responsive and do a great job. He has many solid contacts throughout the area that are experts in their trade. We had a very complex bathroom project with a burst pipe in cement that they fixed when the large shops in town could not. Highly recommend and we'll be using them for future projects.

We contacted Garas for quotes on replacing our deck and remodeling our primary bath. Ken was very quick at meeting with us and getting us our quotes, he was also willing and able to work within our budget on both of these and the results are amazing and we couldn't be happier! Besides for all positive experiences with Ken which also included various phone calls with questions or concerns that he always promptly handled the project manager was great to work with and the subcontractors were awesome! Overall everyone was pleasant, respectful and did great jobs and myself and my husband would highly recommend using Garas Remodeling.

Ken and his team did a wonderful job replacing our deck and adding a pergola to it. Also, when we had an unexpected water issue in our bathroom, the shower remodel was taken care of efficiently and beautifully. We will definitely be contacting him again for projects in the future!
