Not only did they see our vision but they exceeded the expectations that were set forth. Manny was there through it all making sure everything was in place and took time to make sure all the details were in place. We had change orders as certain things came up and without skipping a beat Manny and his team adapted to those items. It was no small task from start to finish and we had our doubts if a pool was the right thing our family needed, but after the 4th of July we knew we had created something special for our family to enjoy making memories with friends. This summer has been a great one so far and we thank Haven Home Builders and their Team!!! If you are truly looking for a change in your life this is you want to start. The only thing you'll regret is not calling them sooner. Will do a follow up in a year.

In 2018 we had a re-tile of a fireplace surround done with some hand made tile. Not only did they…read morebuy an excessive amount of tile for the job and stick us with a lot of very pricey excess tile, but their installation has left us now with eroding tile, as you can see from attached photos. The erosion began with a haze, which slowly led to a crumbling away of the glaze from the top of the tile. Also, numerous tiles have cracked, which is caused by poor installation. We've received an estimate of $1400.00 for the twelve or so tiles that need replacing. At this point we're unsure if the entire flooring hearth part of the job needs to be torn out. That will be way more costly. We were unhappy in general with all the delays and the slow pace of this company. Now this has made us even more furious about their quality of work. When they were lacquering the wood for the mantelpiece, it kept getting cloudy because they were applying it too close. My husband had to tell the worker how to do it and to back up and stand further away. Their craftsmen were not that skilled in a number of types of work such as applying wood finish and also tile sealant. Their tape that they used to attach protective paper to my rug also ruined it in the spots that they applied the tape. I can't tell you how sorry now that we ever got mixed up with this company.

We found Josh at a stressful time during the tail end of our kitchen remodel. Our general…read morecontractor, who has done an amazing job with all other aspects of our kitchen remodel, called us into the kitchen just in time to see a bunch of our expensive tile sliding down the wall and their poor tile subcontractor almost in tears. Apparently we had invested in some of the most complex mosaic glass tile to work with and needed to find an experienced tile pro if this was going to happen to plan. Of the three tile pros I called, Josh was the only one to contact me back right away, and showed up a couple days later to assess the scene and provided a bid the same day. Once work began, Josh and his assistant Chono spent the better part of the first day meticulously measuring out and planning the install, and two more days to set and grout the tile. When we were undecided about a grout color, Chono even made a nice mockup panel for us to look at before he came back the last day to grout the tile. Now that the tile has dried, it looks absolutely beautiful. I love that they took the time to make sure that the pattern aligned perfectly with the window, and their attention to detail is completely evident in the small crevasses and receptacles they tiled around, rebuilding our pattern with tiny cut pieces. Apart from the install, Josh was easy to communicate with over email and texts, always on time, left the work area neat and tidy, and came in right at the estimated price, no surprises. I give him and his crew the highest of recommendations and will be using them again when I start our bathroom project.

This is a long-overdue review for the expert, professional, high quality, and enjoyable work that…read moreAlvarez Tile did for us over Thanksgiving weekend 2020. Like the other reviews here, I wholeheartedly recommend Josh and his father for your project. We bought our dream tile, Artobrick, at the local Long Beach Tile Zone and George recommended Alvarez Tile. I also recommend Tile Zone! Josh gave me a complete quote covering all aspects of the work from the start. Nothing changed, all work was performed exactly as stated at the outset without any surprises or upcharges. Josh troubleshoots the project from the get-go and is thorough. I did say the work was enjoyable which sounds strange, I know, but if you've had a disaster in your home from a contractor before then I can assure you the prep work they do is a dream. There was no tracking debris in and out. The workspace was isolated and our home was disturbed as little as possible. Artobrick tile is installed one tile at a time. If you are getting this kind of tile, stop looking for other bids- Alvarez is the contractor you need. The prep with a cement float and the one-by-one tile installation was incredible to watch take shape and the included tile floor trim we added and tricky corners - all superb. After a few small earthquakes, I can say nothing has cracked, not even a grout seam. And if the amazing floor wasn't enough - Josh made our lives so much easier by installing our vanity and mirrors all with total precision. Then added our tile backsplash with expert corner!. Thanks for the excellent work Alvarez family, we can't wait to do another project in the future!

We have employed Chris and his team as our GC for 4 years. Over that time he has helped us completely overhaul our house including 1) the kitchen, 2) bathrooms, 3) the front exterior, and 4) our back door. He has worked with us every step of they way to keep our costs down, even just referring us to his subs if it didn't make sense for him to get involved. He and his team have always performed timely work and have been communicative throughout our remodeling process. My family and I give Chris and his team our highest endorsement and encourage you to contact him to get the same quality craftsmanship and project management that he provided us.

It's been a year since we completed garage remodeling, and now I'm finally leaving a review…read more I interviewed several companies for the job, and among them, this company had the most reasonable price and gained my trust. I must have interviewed at least five different companies. It was a challenging time during the COVID period, and the prices were significantly higher, making it even more difficult to find a suitable company. Like other remodeling projects, there were some slight price fluctuations and a few extra days of work, but overall, Jorge and his team Diego, Tray, worked diligently. They were responsive when we had questions. Even a year later, we haven't encountered any issues, so we believe the project was done well. Fixing the layout to our liking was initially costly, but Jorge provided a good price and did a great job. I highly recommend this company.

The person who did the work also walked me through design and material options. I originally wanted a Doric-style column, but they recommended a rectangular column using a durable PVC-type material (used for piping) and even reduced the price. I was hesitant, but it turned out to be the right call. They completed the job in one day and the house looks noticeably upgraded. Afterward, I noticed some movement in the railing slats. They explained it's normal since the railing is custom fabricated on site (not one solid piece), and similar to others in the neighborhood. Still, they came back out and glued them at no charge, and now everything feels solid. The finished look is beautiful--neighbors have already asked for referrals. Professional, responsive, and stood behind their work. Would recommend.

We are quite happy with the results of their work on our large remodeling project that required removing walls and adding beams.

No large project like this on an older home is without its surprises and stresses. The guys helped us through these unexpected "surprises" with reassuring competence and communication.
