"He hired Tom Harrop to install kitchen cabinets and a heater under the kitchen sink, vinal flooring, plastering in a small area, add ceiling lighting and a shiplap ceiling. Once the work was done I asked Tom to do a walk through and he refused saying he stood behind his empoyees work. Here are the PROs and CONs. PROs: 1.) work was completed in a timely fashion 2) they did a beautiful job on the shiplap ceiling and lighting. CONs: 1) The brand new white cabinets had some nicks requiring paint touch up. 2) Terrible job on the floors! Uneven spots, lengths are uneven at the edges, gaps showing, no finish work. Terrible job!! 3) plastering looks like it wasn't even done! And there is some peeling of paint on the plaster job. Terrible job!!! 4) we were promised and paid for an under the kitchen sink heater which we never received. Called multiple times with no response. Lesson learned, will never use Tom Harrop again!!"

Rick grew up in a family of hard working contractors, and has been learning the skills of the trade since a very young age. He brings to the table a high level of expertise that is often hard to come by, and will always take the time to get the job done right.
"Rick was very responsive at first and eager to get started on my bathroom remodel job for one of my apartments. He is commended for having to respond to quote request fast. I decided to give him a chance to do a good job before handing a bigger jobs for my other properties. Before the work started, I emphasized that the dust control and cleanup was very, very important to me. The job involved lots of demolition work inside the apartment - naturally, there will be lots of dust. The apartment is currently occupied and has lots of furniture, computers and audio equipment that I wanted to protect. I thought he and his workers were communicated this request. I even offered the use of dust control fan and Zip Wall to isolate the work area but he said he will be fine without them. Once the job started, I was away for one week to take care of my family. When I returned, I discovered that the door to the adjacent room was left open. That is my office with all the equipment and important papers. They left their construction material and equipment in this room. I was horrified that there are fine dust everywhere - on my printer, computer peripherals, furniture. I brought this issue up with Rick. Nothing happened. The worst part was that the job was declared done and I paid the service in full - They never returned to clean up and pickup the equipment. After almost a whole month, the supply and equipment is still there. I had to spend extra time cleaning up after their mess. Very unprofessional. Lessons learned. Do not pay the balance until all the cleaning is done and all the equipment removed. I expect the clean up and dust control to be a part of the job. I also repeatedly asked or professionally prepared invoices with vendor name and address, job details and the most important of all, the invoice number - all of these essential information is important to keep track of expenses for my projects. The SMS texts message and e-mail messages were not appropriate for this purpose. I explained to Rick that my CPA requires them many times. I even sent him a sample invoice and quote in Microsoft Word template - he never understood what I was asking. He is a nice guy, but not a good project manager or competent business person. The work was done, however, the work quality is fair to good - I had to go back and correct some sloppy work. Lacking attention to details and follow up bothered me. The biggest issues is the lack of clean up and keeping the worksite cleans so he and his crew gets an F. I do not think I will be hiring his company in my future projects."

FAQs for addition and remodeling projects in Johnston, RI
The typical timeline for completing a garage-to-ADU conversion spans approximately three to six months, encompassing planning, permitting, construction, and final inspections. Projects requiring substantial structural modifications or encountering material delivery delays may extend beyond this timeframe. Working with an experienced general contractor who efficiently coordinates various trades and maintains consistent progress can significantly improve project efficiency and reduce unnecessary delays.
Converting a garage into an ADU typically requires obtaining building permits and potentially specialized electrical, plumbing, and mechanical approvals. Requirements vary significantly between jurisdictions, making consultation with local planning departments essential. Most municipalities mandate specific features, including dedicated entrances, proper emergency egress windows, and verification that the structure meets current residential safety standards. Proceeding without proper authorization risks potential penalties and complications during future property transactions.
California has implemented some of the nation's most supportive ADU regulations to address housing availability challenges. Recent legislation has streamlined approval processes, and local jurisdictions generally must approve projects meeting state guidelines. Nevertheless, individual municipalities may impose additional specific requirements regarding design, parking, or utility connections. Consulting with your local planning department remains essential for understanding the particular regulations applicable to your property.
Converting a garage to an ADU typically increases your property's assessed value, resulting in higher property tax obligations. The specific tax implications depend on your local assessment methods and how substantially the improvements enhance your property's value. While this represents an additional ongoing expense, many property owners find that potential rental income or increased property marketability offsets these higher tax obligations over time.
To qualify as a legal ADU, your converted garage must typically include a separate entrance, functional kitchen facilities, a complete bathroom, adequate natural light, proper ventilation systems, and full compliance with local building codes. Emergency egress provisions and appropriate climate control systems are also generally required. Many jurisdictions establish minimum and maximum size parameters, making consultation with your local building department essential for ensuring your conversion meets all legal requirements.
For many property owners, the potential rental income from a converted garage ADU makes the investment financially worthwhile. Monthly rental payments can help offset mortgage obligations or fund additional property improvements. The actual profitability depends on various factors, including local rental demand, the quality and size of your converted space, and your ability to maintain consistent occupancy. With careful planning and quality execution, many homeowners recover a substantial portion of their investment through ongoing rental revenue.
