ReNew Kitchen & Bath

‘Very Quality-Conscious’

ReNew in Ocala is the place to go to fix outdated floors, bathrooms, and kitchens on a budget. Satisfied clients Mike and MJ Armstrong love their beautifully updated Ocala home.

Mike and MJ Armstrong love their tranquil home that they’ve lived in for over 30 years. They’ve been in Ocala since 1981 and Mike says he “used to golf” and likes yard work, college football (“I’m a big-time Gator fan”), and collects some vintage lures. “Basically,” he adds, “that’s about it.”

Knowing they plan to remain in the house they’ve loved for over three decades, the Armstrongs knew they needed to get started on some renovatations in order to update the look of the somewhat-dated portions of the home. “We figured it was time,” Mike concedes. “It was time to just do it.” They decided to start with the bathrooms, obviously one of the mostused rooms in any given house. The guest bathroom was pretty boring. Lots of white everywhere—white tile floors, a white shower, white countertops. The light wood cabinets anchored it all squarely in the ‘80s. The master bathroom shared many of the same issues. So the Armstrongs called several companies and received varying offers and costs.

“I got some quotes and Jim LaValle with ReNew was the most reasonable, price-wise,” Mike recalls. “I liked the quality of their work and we dealt with him directly, which we liked a lot.”

Once they selected ReNew, Jim immediately came out to show them lots of examples of previous work and many physical samples they’d want to consider while remodeling these two spaces, a daunting task for anyone unfamiliar with the myriad choices for each part of the process.

BEFORE-After 30 years of living in their home, it was clearly time for some updates.

AFTER-From floor to ceiling, everything in the guest bathroom was replaced at a surprisingly affordable cost.

Recognizing that they were going to have a lot of work done on their house, they let Jim and his crew come and go as needed. ReNew worked efficiently, and the couple liked the work they were doing.

The Armstrongs noticed that Jim’s subcontractors took pride in their work and tried to ensure that the couple’s usual home life was not disrupted by their tasks. The couple enjoyed their interactions and the care they took in making sure everything was done to their satisfaction.

“Jim knew his business, and the contractors he has are very quality-conscious. He was easy to work with and he supplied some good ideas. We really liked his personality,” Mike says. “MJ and I had a vision of what we wanted going in, so Jim showed us some samples and some options, helped us pick some things out, and then we chose from there.”

Now the couple loves the results. The guest bathroom has a more organic-looking floor and countertop, with an updated walk-in shower replacing the dated tub. The modern glass enclosure opens up the space and adds volume. For the master bathroom, the new countertop and solid white cabinets make for a spa-like feel. Another glass-enclosed walk-in shower means no uncomfortable movements to get in and out of the space. It’s a nice touch that will keep them in their home for a long time to come.

For Jim LaValle, it’s another job well done, something that never gets old for him or his crew. They take pride in every single assignment, and he’s more than happy to guide his clients every step of the way.

“You have to have that vision of what the final product is going to look like,” Jim explains, “and the product knowledge to get the job done.”

The Armstrongs would definitely recommend ReNew for anyone looking to remodel their kitchen or bathrooms. They’ve had a couple of friends take a look at the guest bathroom and “they liked it very much,” Mike shares. Mike liked that the company’s work was superb and that Jim kept everything well within budget.

BEFORE-Master Bath Shower

AFTER-The all new glass-enclosed walk-in shower made for a much more comfortable, spacious master bath. Touches like this will keep the Armstrongs happy with their home for years to come.

So would they use ReNew again? “Yes,” Mike answers emphatically. “As a matter of fact, we’re going to take a little break, but then we’re going to do the kitchen and the rest of the house next. We like how everything turned out.”
