Renovation Refined

I was referred by my Realtor to Paulina as someone who specializes in renovations in Condos. I applaud her for being one of the few GC young females in the industry and she sold me on her attentiveness to detail and overall care for aesthetics. It was a big project that she took on. Coordinating her subcontractors for entire unit floor replacement, popcorn ceiling removal, painting of all walls, bathroom and kitchen remodeling with total appliance replacement. She had to approve my designs for materials/fixtures/appliances to specs, coordinate for elevator scheduling, materials delivery (I didn

I hired Renovation Refined to remodel my kitchen and two bathrooms. Paulina was very responsive from the time I first contacted her, to getting a quote and then throughout the project. She gave good advice during the design stage of the project and had contacts at some tile shops that were very helpful as well. The project finished within the expected timeline and for the quoted amount. The quality of work was good - they did a really nice job on the tile! Overall, I was very pleased and would work with this company again.

Paulina has now helped us with two major home renovations: our kitchen and bathroom, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. What I can say after both experiences is that Paulina and her team are very professional and quick to respond to messages or get back to you about your questions. Their quality of work is excellent and it is completed on time. We started our bathroom project during Covid quarantine and after sending Paulina photos of the tile we were using, she suggested a beautiful quartz for our tub surround/sink top. She even mailed a sample to our home. She also offered

Paulina and her team did an amazing job with our complete bathroom renovation! When we first reached out, Paulina was very responsive and quick to provide a comprehensive outline of the work and associated costs. She is great at listening to wants & needs, considering inspiration pictures, and then helping to edit those choices to make practical, cost-effective, and beautiful decisions. Paulina helped to pick out and source some of our materials saving us so much time and all the options she presented were exactly what I was looking for. She went out of her way to drop off multiple samples throughout

We contacted Paulina at Renovation Refined after hearing a glowing review from a friend. We wanted to remodel our two bathrooms and kitchen pretty extensively. Paulina guided us through the whole process, as we were construction newbies. She helped us organize our budget, materials purchasing and provided a lot of needed guidance on the design aspects as well. In the end we couldn't be happier with the end result. Our condo turned out much more high end than we'd anticipated. Paulina helped steer us to spend more in the areas where we'd really see more bang for our buck, and save on the items that

We completed a major overhaul of our vacation home kitchen @ Lodge by the Lake this year and worked with Paulina @ Renovation Refined. Paulina was communicative and quick to respond to all of our questions. The crew was very professional and exacting in their measurements/ installation. Because there were aspects of the kitchen that were not square and because we had some complex details, the crew installed the quartz slabs for the counter tops, waterfall edges and full height back splashes in stages, measuring each detail along the way and adjusting for field conditions. The end result was one

I hired RR for a gut rehab condo project (2 full bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, and painting) that I was managing remotely, desperately needing help with project management and design for a fair price. In my eyes, there were 3 things that really stood out: (1) unbeatable price for the service delivered - I was getting much higher quotes from other GCs for the same work and on multiple occasions RR went to bat for me with subcontractors to get the best for the lowest possible price, (2) detail oriented - RR was able to anticipate and communicate issues during the project so that we could make a collective

Paulina and her crew were fabulous to work with. Her team completed a full kitchen and bath renovation in my timber loft Chicago home. Her crew was courteous, professional and easy to work with. She provided a keen design eye to help me when I couldn't make a decision. She had great relationships with her vendors, so if anything had to be adjusted (i.e. cabinets) she was able to work with them to get it done and get it done quickly. The project had it's own challenges, such as breaking apart a steel ceiling and installing a toilet and a bathtub in a space that was designed quite poorly by the original
