"Our neighbor recommended Innovative Building Services. We met with Rick and described our desired remodel, which extended the house 6 feet on two floors and included a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel. Rick drew up sketches, answered any questions we had, and even gave us the code to a house he had just completed to look at his work without anyone around. Rick did everything for us and even went to the city hearing on our behalf to justify the extension. He rolled with any changes we had, made suggestions for design decisions, and found the materials we liked to match the original house, and some at a cheaper price. Rick's team was professional, clean, and did an outstanding job. We're very happy with our expansion, our beautiful kitchen, and bathroom. We would recommend Innovative Building Services to anyone looking for a large or small change to their house."

"We used Rich and Innovative Building Services to finish our basement. It was a massive job and he was there every step of the way. Our basement floor is truly a work of art. All of the subcontractors were professional and courteous. Whenever something came up that we were 100% happy with it was addressed until we were completely satisfied. It was an investment but I am so happy we made the choice to go with Innovative Building Services! We could not have asked for a better outcome."

"Rick did a great job working with us to design and build a new kitchen and master bathroom project. The work was fantastic. He was super proactive about following up with the subcontractors and making sure that we had made all of the choices we needed to make to keep the project on schedule. And he did a great job helping us figure out how to deal with a choice that we really didn't like after we had made it. I absolutely recommend working with Rick and his team."

"We had Innovative remodel our entire home and we were very pleased with how everything turned out. It’s a strong team with Rich’s keen eye for design and Conner and Jesse’s communication. They were conscientious, took pride in their work, and above all did a high quality job. Rates were fair and competitive and offered very good value. They were also very good communicators and went to great lengths to ensure we were happy with everything. We have worked with other contractors before and these guys were the best."

"We are so happy that we chose Innovative Building Services to renovate our home! We are not handy people, and the thought of doing a major reno to our kitchen and first floor was overwhelming. We talked to several companies, but we were most impressed with Rich and his team from the beginning. They were professional, transparent, trustworthy-- and just good people. They took the time to get a sense of what we wanted/needed and then came up with beautiful designs. They were mindful of our budget, and never sacrificed quality. You could tell that they really take pride in their work! They were exceptionally attentive to detail - adjusting things along the way that we hadn't even noticed! They walked us through every single step of the process and were much more efficient with the timeline than any other company we vetted because they coordinated the whole project so carefully. Jessie, our project manager, showed up almost every day to touch base, and ended the day with daily updates on their online project log. Jessie was incredibly knowledgable and adept at coordinating all the moving parts in a project like this. The whole team was truly phenomenal. We cannot recommend them highly enough! We will definitely be calling them again when we are ready to work on the second floor!"

"I would recommend Innovative building services to anyone looking for top notch craftsmanship! My remodel was far and above my expectations. Rich’s team was great to work with from initiation through completion. There attention to detail is amazing!"

"We are two years out from a $200K+ top to bottom, interior and exterior, CHAP renovation of our Baltimore row home led by Rick and the amazing team at innovative building services. Their work is exceptionally well though out and designed, of the highest quality, and is absolutely stunning. I can say this with a lot of confidence having lived in the home for 2 years - the quality of the work is unquestionable and everyone who steps in our home comments on its immediate appeal and high quality design. Rick has a keen eye for detail and design and doesn’t settle for less than perfect. There were several times throughout the renovation when work wasn’t conducted to his standards, and he reworked the area until it was perfect, at his own expense. He does not compromise on design, and spent hours with us working through the minute details of our project. Rick has immense integrity as a contractor and leader of his team. He completely stands by his work, and we have been in touch with him many times over the two years to follow-up with questions or concerns that arose. He treats his team very well, and is shows in their dedication to his projects and the quality and integrity they also bring to the table. On a personal note, Rick is extremely patient, understanding, and respectful. He was never rude or condescending, even as we went into this project knowing nothing about home renovation! He patiently and thoughtfully responded to our most naive questions - this was especially important to me as a woman, after meeting several contractors who would only make eye contact with my husband! I don’t know anyone who was as happy with their contractor as we were with Rick, and we only hope he will be willing to take the lead on our next project for us!!"
