We had a roof leak earlier this year and call Rouben and team. They came out immediately to assess the damage which ended up being more than initially thought. They were super helpful and worked with us step by step through the insurance claim process. We used them for another project last year and didn't hesitate to reach out again. Their professionalism, timeliness, and quality make using them an easy choice.

Rouben and the buildPro team were wonderful and they created a stunning master bathroom for us that was beyond our expectations. Mike, the project manager was absolutely top-notch. They were there when they said they would be there, they took great care to protect the rest of the house from damage, and they were always conscientious and respectful. Dan, their tile guy was nothing short of amazing – exactly the kind of perfectionist tradesman you want on a job with an abundance of tile. The precision he used in wrapping our large subway tiles around several walls and corners is extraordinary.  Communication was excellent and when there were issues, they were always resolved promptly. The job ended up taking longer and was more expensive than we originally planned but that’s because we tweaked the design by adding a ton more tile than called for in the original design. We’re already talking to Rouben about remodeling our kitchen. Onto the next project!

I cannot speak highly enough of Rouben and his team (we worked most closely with him and Mike). The quality of work, communication, speed, customer service, everything was flawless. Great price too!We have a new custom catio (patio for our cats!) and it is sooo cool! Check out the photos!We had originally hired someone else for this project and after several months of poor communication, they stopped responding entirely. I called a few other places and everyone was so excited for the work but then didn't call back or show up. By the time I called buildPROS I was pretty frustrated and almost ready to give up on the project. Rouben answered my FIRST phone call, talked through the project with me on the spot, and then had his team out there in a matter of DAYS. They finished this project in only a couple of weeks and it came out AMAZING. Every question we had along the way was answered quickly, fully, patiently, and with options. They took the time to figure out what we wanted and to make sure that we got it. They helped us do this while still staying on budget. I felt like they genuinely cared that we were happy and even that they had some fun working on this! (As much fun as you can have lifting heavy things in the blazing hot sun.) I have pretty low expectations for contractors these days so I would have been happy with much less but they don't work that way. Honestly I didn't know there were contractors like this out there. Thanks guys for raising the bar! You have a new customer for life!Service: Patio construction

Great job by Rouben and crew doing an extensive home renovation! Creative ideas by Rouben helped us stretch our budget to get what we wanted. Would hire again!Editing my review to add my husband's perspective -- for some reason his Google review is not showing up. So here are his words:"If you're looking for beautiful work, great guys to work with, and keeping costs down, you should hire buildPROS.My mom owned her house for years, and after we had to move her into nursing care, we decided to remodel the place and rent it to pay for her care costs. The place had been neglected for years and required a complete remodeling, including new kitchen, bathrooms, deck, and completely redone interior. The big builders in the area quoted us astronomical prices and gave vague, crappy estimates. We were almost ready to give up until we called buildPROS.Reuben listened carefully to our situation and quoted a cost 30% less than the other contractors. They have this great software they created themselves that gives you a specific line item estimate for every detail in the construction. Maybe this is why the final cost was within 1% of the original estimate, despite a number of challenges with the old house.The guys were friendly, easy to work with, and really cared that everything was done just the way we wanted. We were inexperienced at remodeling and new to renting. Reuben made a number of excellent recommendations for cost effective materials and design choices that looked beautiful and would stand up to years of hard wear.The house looks amazing now! It's renting for top dollar, and we're already getting repeat business. We were lucky to get a customer-focused contractor that took the time to understand what we needed and deliver a beautiful result. I'd definitely hire these guys again, and recommend them to anyone, especially if it's a complex project with special requirements.Hire buildPROS.

Rouben and Mike and John and Chuck were amazing! They showed up on time and were responsive and reliable. We had a separate issue from a bathroom upstairs come up (had nothing to do with the kitchen reno) and they promptly fixed the leak for us. I appreciate them going above and beyond to help us out! And our kitchen turned out great. We recommend them to friends and plan to use them for future renovations! If you need a reliable contractor give them a call.Service: Home renovations

I hired buildPROS for a 203k project 8 years ago, which was a very time and budget sensitive project. buildPROS did a great job for me start to finish and was able to complete the project on time and on budget. Since then I have used buildPROS for other projects around the house including HVAC and some construction consulting for my own DIY work. Plus I recommended buildPROS some of my friends and they were very happy with their work. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest and reliable contractor.

I had buildPros do my house siding a year or two before the covid quarantine. It has been several years now and I can attest to the quality of the work and so far everything has held up very well, and I expect it to continue to do so. Recently I had a question about something from that job and Rouben was right there, on the spot and took care of my worry quick like a bunny! I am very satisfied with this builder and would recommend him for any jobs you might need.

Rouben was excellent to work with. His prices were reasonable and transparent. The folks that did the work were kind and great at explaining things and asking us before doing anything that veered from the original plan. We were able to text and email Rouben and he responded promptly. He came by daily to inspect the progress and check in with us. Although BuildPros mostly does larger projects, Rouben does a great job with small remodels too. We're thrilled with the results and would recommend his company to anyone in the area.Services: Tile work installation, Install flooring, Tile work replacement, Paint indoors, Painting, Waterproofing, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Plumbing fixture installation, Drywall repair, Flooring

When we bought a new commercial building for our law firm, we needed a construction company that was local, experienced, easy to work with, and with the experience and know how to get the job done. Rouben, the owner, was responsive to us throughout the process. The process was as smooth as could be from the moment we started discussing our needs, generating a detailed proposal, and then executing on the project. As a lawyer, one satisfying part of working with Buildpros was the excellent communication. Rouben and team were proactive, using technology and photographs, and having everything in writing so we knew where we stood and what had to be done. We are very happy with the end result - if you need our personal injury law services, visit us at 1155 Newport Ave and you can see the craftsmanship from Buildpros!

Contacted BuildPros for a project on a multi family house. Within a couple of day they were able to guide me on the right path and gave me a honest explanation of what was necessary. Rouben was knowledgeable and honest. That is all a customer could ask for on a project. Thank you!

We remodeled our small bath and Rouben was really responsive about a quote. They were able to address all of my big concerns (the floor around the toilet was uneven and the bathtub needed to be completely gutted). He was always a text away, gave design suggestions but ultimately let me realize my vision, and came in right around his original estimate. We even were able to add a built in shelf and herringbone pattern tile. They came back a few days later to touch up tiny details to make sure I was completely satisfied. Would highly recommend and use them again for future projects. Oh, and they’re dog friendly and my dog is a MONSTER. One of them even brought her snausages.Services: Tile work installation, Painting, Remodeling, Repair flooring, Flooring

I had Rouben and the team at Buildpros renovate the 2nd floor of my 1860 farm house in Wakefield RI. This consisted of a complete renovation of one bathroom, a partial renovation of a 2nd bathroom and ripping out some awful carpeting and refinishing the original wide-plank pine that was buried underneath. The whole project was a real challenge because the floors were really uneven and it came out great. The price was very reasonable (tied for the lowest among 3 bids), the quality was great, and Rouben's communication was fantastic. He always responds to questions/concerns, usually the same day. It is clear to me Rouben loves what he does and takes pride in his work.

We hired BuildPros to manage and construct a one of kind mixed use commercial building in Providence RI that took 2 years to complete in 2 different phases. It was a very complicated project that started from demolition to excavation/shoring and construction. Not only did it get completed on time for each phase but that was done during the most unprecedented historic pandemic this world has seen in a century. Rouben, owner, managed this project personally and was in constant motion to make sure that this project was run smoothly with constant reporting. Rouben was always available and in constant contact throughout the 2 years of this project. One thing that is key is constant communication and planning. In construction that is extremely rare to be available and finish on time. I would strongly recommend BuildPros for your projects if you want them to run smoothly.

I was first introduced to Rouben and Build Pros by a friend who had used Build Pros. I myself have been designing and selling kitchens and baths for 40 plus years. I'm also a remodeling contractor so I look at everything with a very experienced and critical viewpoint. I pitched my services to Rouben and he had me quote several jobs. We didn't connect at first but I didn't give up. That was a little over two years ago and since then we have done many kitchens together. I very much enjoy partnering with Build Pros on projects.Rouben has built a highly successful company through hard work, listening to his clients needs and surrounding himself with great people. I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to partner with Build Pros. The diversity of work that Build Pros does is amazing! See for yourself on social media. Rouben posts the progress of his projects frequently. You can feel the excitement and enthusiasm that Rouben has for his projects. From the planning stages to completion Build Pros gets it done in a very professional and timely manor. Rouben also communicates very clearly to his clients what is going to happen and also is very sensitive to clients budgets.I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Rouben and Build Pros. Whatever your project needs are be it commercial or residential you will be making a very wise decision to work with Build Pros.Alan KoorisKooris Kitchen DesignService: Kitchen remodeling

I had a great experience with the owner, Rouben, and his team. I found BuildPROS via a web search and reached out requesting quotes on several major projects at my parents home in Warwick. He responded within 24 hours and we made arrangements to meet at the house.I walked him through the jobs we wanted done (new roof, new front porch, re-siding one side of the house and fixing all the rotting fascia). Rouben got back to me with estimates for all 3 jobs within a week. We discussed them over email a bit and then met in person to iron out some final details before I signed the contracts.Throughout this entire process his communication was excellent. He would get back to me same-day about 99% of the time, but never more than 24 hours went by between an email/text I sent and a response.On all 3 projects he delivered within 5% of his initial estimate. He provides quite detailed estimates up front, and any time his team hit a snag he came onsite to take a look at the issue and confer with me. For example, a few of the existing porch supports showed signs of rot, and all were missing joist hangers. He walked me through what he felt needed to be done quickly and quoted the additional amount (and also came in under his estimate on it) to address the issues to meet code.His teams did excellent work on all 3 projects. It's a bit nerve-wracking when you hire someone to do major work on someone else's house using their money, but he made the whole process incredibly easy and the team did very, very high quality work. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for and BuildPROS was worth every penny we spent. We plan to hire them for several additional projects at the house, and I'd recommend Rouben and his team with zero reservations.Services: General construction, Home renovations, Deck construction, General building construction, Roof repair, Exterior painting, Porch construction, Roof installation, Masonry installation

BuildPros have been amazing when we had our renovations done. We renovated our bathroom and kitchen. They helped make the whole process bearable and as budget friendly as possible. I’d like to praise their dedication in hitting a standard in their work; the tiles we selected were large and difficult to level flat on our uneven ground but after the first pass was unsatisfactory they re-leveled and succeeded the second pass. We’d also like to appreciate the craftsmanship of their Carpenter, making a lot of the woodwork we required seamless and to what we envisioned. Throughout this entire renovation they made feel very safe and comfortable to carry on our daily activities in the house. The communication for every step was prompt and clear, it made working with everyone on their team very easy. We’d highly recommend anyone in their area of operation to use as a contractor. Definitely work with them again!Services: Home renovations, Tile work replacement

My project was the full replacement of the wind damaged roof for a large 6000+ sq. ft home. The added complexity for me was, my tenant was in moving out and I live in a completely different state 10 hrs. driving distance so I called Rouben and requested him to give me the estimates urgently.Rouben was extremely professional, cooperative and very understanding with the overall situation. He gave me the detailed estimation of work, worked around my tenant’s move out timeline and got the whole roof done in just 3 days. Over and above, he completed the project $1k less than his original estimation. In addition, he did few additional fixes needed to the roof and windows as well.In my 25+ years of working with the contractors, I never had such an amazing experience. So I strongly recommend Rouben and buildPROS for any roof replacement or home improvement work. He will be the most honest, cost conscious and highly reliable contractor and will get the job done in time.

I used buildPROS to help with a kitchen remodel and general update of a house I bought in Providence. Rouben and his team, especially his expert carpenter, John, did an amazing job repurposing custom cabinetry from another kitchen to complete remake the kitchen in this house. With Rouben's advice, it was transformed from a non-functional 1960's kitchen with 1980's Pizza Hut-style accents into a modern, beautiful kitchen. His crew also helped to refurbish living space in the basement to make it bright and welcoming. I was impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism of the entire crew. Would definitely hire them again for future projects.Services: General construction, Tile work installation, Install flooring, Basement remodeling, Remodeling, Kitchen remodeling

I would highly recommend working with Rouben. He was very professional and his team did a great job. The work in our home was completed mostly by his carpenter John, but we also had other professionals of Reuben’s team work in our home. We were pleased with the work and professionalism.

buildPRO is a wonderful company. Their teamwork is admirable. The work was done sooner than expected. The owner was always available to communicate with me. Most importantly the results are beautiful. The value of my home has increased considerably. I felt as though I was a special client. Yet I have the feeling they make all customers feel special.

The project we had commissioned with Rouben and his team was an egress window for my basement bedroom. Rouben and his team were very professional, they arrived on time, they cleaned up after themselves and the project was finished on budget. I am always skeptical when it comes to hiring contractors for projects but BuildPROS has changed my view on what a contractor should be. I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend them, very high quality work you will not be disappointed!!

I Had a great experience dealing with Buildpros. I needed to find a general contractor right away because My offer to buy a house that require a rehab loan or (203k loan) was accepted but the bank only gives you a short time to have a detailed estimate and lots of paperwork from your license contractor, we contacted some general contractors before Ruben and had no luck hearing back from them and the few that responded only came to see the project and probably didn’t have the experience dealing with this type of loan, once I contacted Buildpros Ruben was very helpful and professional to complete all the paper work and bank requirements .As soon I the work started you could tell he has a great team ,they did a great job and and was completed on time had no issues communicating with Ruben he responded right away ,once the job was completed my wife and I were very satisfied with the finish work on whole project (bathroom and kitchen remodel,flooring, drywall replacement ,handrails ,furnace and central air) highly recommend Buildpros.Services: Tile work installation, Install flooring, Tile work replacement, Paint indoors, Painting, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Plumbing fixture installation, Drywall repair

I reached out to Rouben for a shower remodel and to fix a plumbing issue. The team were great to work with - I'm glad with the end result. Communication was transparent and clear. A big shoutout to the team working on it as well: Mike, Chuck, Dan.

I chose Buildpro after read all reviewing at google and yelp review. It end up very ugly. I was very disappointed to Rouben. I worked with this guy to permitting. He charged $1600 for only permitting, and additional one kitchen cabinet take out charged $800 and charged many small things in every steps. Floor plan has many mistakes. It updated several times, but still not correct. Once he received all the money, then he changed, and did not submit the floor plan for permitting, until I agree to pay more for additional works, which was not discussed at the beginning. He charge every small things expensive. Simple floor plan took 4 weeks, he said he will submit the city permit, then take all the money, then did not submit it and ask more money for additional works. I quit. I hire another GC to finish the work. Non responsive, Very unprofessional. Never want to work with this guy again

Rouben and the buildPROS team is hands down a first class organization. I had an unfortunate water damage event at one of my rental properties and Rouben was incredibly responsive and creative to help me get my property restored quickly and professionaly. He was flexible working with me, my tenant and the insurance company to get the damage repaired in a timely and cost effective manner. I can say that because of his quick response and ability to think outside of the box, my property was restored to as good of shape, if not better, than how it was prior to the loss.I highly recommend buildPros for any rehab or upgrade project that you may need or be considering.

buildPROS just completed roof work on my home in Providence. The house is a Greek Revival with an 1860's "redo" that changed the roof style. Time and this harsh winter had taken its toll, and Rouben Belagian/buildPROS came with strong recommendations that were substantiated by his professional approach and delivery of service. His attention to detail, to follow-up communications, and to follow-through with an excellent crew left me with confidence in work well done. His presentation regarding scope and outcomes for the work was meticulous, as was his oversight of the process and product.

Rouben and the build Pros team perform the significant renovation on our home in an effort to regain the value of our home. He was detailed and diligent from start to finish from the consultation all the way to the end execution. You really helped us too invest my money wisely in the things that mattered.Our kitchen looks brand new and transformed. And the glazing process in the master bathroom added or renewed brightness to the entire space. His experience and love for what he does shows through his work. He was courteous and knowledgeable and easy to work with. We recommend BuildPros for your project.We will give him 5 stars.One recommendations for future clients is do some self-assessment on what you really want before you start the job. It will help you to guide and be involved in the collaboration and make the most out of the project.
