Acumen Renovations was the final bid I received for replacing our deck and in the future I will be contacting them first! Pete walked me through the entire process from materials to permitting and answered any question I had regarding the process, no matter how small, promptly and completely. The crew worked efficiently, maintained a very clean job site, and went above and beyond to explain the process on site so that I always knew what the next days would bring. They finished the project right on the projected timeline and I could not be happier with the result. Thank you to Pete, Josh, and the whole crew for a no-pressure bid process and a flawless execution of a well laid out plan. I would not hesitate to recommend Acumen Renovations for any project needs and will continue to enjoy all the compliments from a project I did not need to lift a finger to complete!

I contacted Acumen Renovations in search of someone knowledgeable about LP Smartsiding due to issues we were having with our siding after only 2 years of application on a newly built home. Acumen did not install our siding but our builder did and we did not trust our builders explanation for the failure of the siding and their proposed remedy. Pete and Josh came to our home and gave us an honest, unbiased opinion about what they observed. They did not stop there. They reached out to the LP Smart siding technical and sales managers in our area and scheduled an appointment for them to come out and observe the issues we were having personally so they could give us some guidance on what needed to be done to fix our issues. Pete and Josh went above and beyond to help us despite knowing that our builder was responsible for the incorrect siding installation and that they would not be benefiting from their time spent at our home. We are working with our builder to resolve our issues but I would not hesitate, in the future, to trust and hire Pete and Josh to do the job right, from start to finish. Good business practices and honest people.

Acumen did a really great job making our screened-in deck hassle-free. Pete was great in explaining things and not being pushy. Josh was funny and explained the work to us in a simple manner. Highly recommend!

I worked with Pete and he was out doing measurements quickly and sending back quotes and samples of products. Communication was always on point. Turn around from signing contract to start of work was incredibly fast. Josh and his coworker had all the right tools and the proper set up for all the projects. They framed and installed Screeneze to our patio and installed a screened door. Everything looked well done. They completed the job within 8 hours. All around 5 stars. I truly recommend this company as our experience was smooth and positive all the way from start to finish. Great group to work with and quality products.

The team did a great job. Fast response to my project and can't be more pleased with the outcome.
