At this point, we are "frequent fliers" with DYM, and it's because they've consistently delivered…read more We live in a condo in Costa Mesa, and it was originally built in 1980, and when we first moved in, it certainly looked like a place from the 80s. However, DYM has now done our master bathroom, guest bathroom, kitchen, and windows. The place looks phenomenal! DYM did our bathrooms/windows in 2020, and they did our kitchen in 2022. It's been really great to see their company grow, and while I was worried as they grew we'd see things slip or something (I'm pretty sure we were one of their first ~10 clients in 2020), but that is definitively not the case. They were actually even better in 2022 as they had grown into more of a rhythm/process. There are so many crummy contractors, and we had heard every horror story you can think of. I'm happy to report we have no exciting or scandalous home renovation stories, and I mean that in the best possible way. With DYM, things get done on a schedule and with good quality. There's no "and then they disappeared for a week" or "and then they said another project came up" or "their plumber flooded our home and they said they weren't responsible." They just planned, demoed, adapted the plan (hooray for the inevitable demo day surprises), built, and finished. Wonderfully uneventful every time! While Jade and David are awesome, I also have to give a shout out to their crew. Carlos is a true master at his craft. He picks up on all the details, makes brilliant suggestions, and works crazy efficiently. They crew also does a great job at sectioning off the construction site and cleaning up. Renovations inevitably impact your lifestyle, but they really do everything in their power to limit it. I would trust their crews to do literally anything in our home. The most mind-blowing part is how strongly DYM stands by their work. We had some bathroom tiles get loose almost two years later, and I texted Jade asking for advice (How can I fix this? How much do you think it would cost if I hired someone? Have someone you would recommend?). I wasn't asking for her to fix it - it had been over two years. However, she just went ahead and fixed it with no cost and no questions. Hell, she even got me a birthday cake. Seriously...what contractor does this stuff? It's awesome! The group at DYM is also fantastic at making other contractor recommendations. We had a neighbor spring a leak and damage some of our drywall. We asked Jade for recommendations on someone who could fix it, and they person did a great job at a great price. It's so nice to have a source of information like that. We literally always recommend DYM to our friends whenever they mention they're doing a renovation. The only reason some of our friends have gone with someone else is because the other contractor was cheaper by a few thousand, and I don't think it ever ended up being worth it. The other contractors almost always added way more costs along the way, did a crummy job, or took forever. So you might be reading this review holding two quotes and wondering "Is DYM really worth the extra money?" Trust me - it is worth it and you won't regret it.

We found Micky's company on Yelp and decided to contact him for our home remodel project in Costa…read moreMesa. We had just bought a fixer-upper and wanted to do a gut remodel. Right from the get go, it was clear that he is an honest person and gave us a lot of confidence that he will be able to handle the project. We had to wait a few months to get the permit approval from the city, and Micky followed up with the permit officers diligently. He had his team ready to jump in with the demo, and started working on the project immediately after we received the permits. The project took a couple of months longer than expected (in part because we asked for some changes, and in part because Micky had underestimated some of the work). But we did not mind the delay as it was clear that Micky's team was doing the work properly and not cutting corners. One piece of advice: Micky gives you accurate timelines for his material options, but if you want other options then you will have to be on top of it yourself to make sure you get it in time. This is understandable, and once we realized it, we were able to better forecast when certain aspects of the project will be completed. Micky is just an amazing human being - kind, thoughtful, and empathetic. The patience paid off. We now live in one of the best houses on the street (which was previously an eye sore). Our sincere gratitude for Micky and his team. We will seek his company out for future projects.

They were very efficient, on time and finished the bathroom in record time. Loved working with this…read morecompany.

YOU WANT VARKEL CONSTRUCTION…read more I worked as a painting contractor for over 20 years and until recently, handled 98% of all my home improvements or repairs. Nowadays; I have a different career, and quite frankly, I'm getting old. Digging out all my tools and hanging off a ladder 30 feet in the air has lost its appeal. This doesn't mean I'm going to let my 1.3 million dollar home investment be worked on by just any crew of schmucks. Luckily for me, I was able to see some of Varkel's finished projects through work contacts. I was greatly impressed by the workmanship and attention to detail. When it was time for my 40 year old property to get some much needed attention, I gave Varkel a call. There is a great advantage working with a professional general contracting company. After a 20 minute walk around with the owner Ernie, we knew we needed a good painting crew, talented carpenters, and a roofing specialist. Without lifting a finger or making a single phone call on my part, within two weeks these professionals were at my door ready to work. Each of these crews showed up on time, were extremely courteous, and above all, did a fantastic job. Like I said, I was in the business. I got my own ladder out and inspected every joint, nail head, and brush cut before signing that last check. I was truly impressed with the work and was left with a home that is now the envy of the neighborhood. Thank you Varkel Construction. You have a customer for life and my neighbors will be calling you soon. Bill Shepard Dana Point, CA.

We have had many work done in our previous homes and businesses and we have only one regret is not knowing this company beforehand. They are professional, caring and reliable. I am looking forward to the next project.

We have lived in our Tri Pointe home for three years now, and unfortunately our experience has been…read moreextremely disappointing. For a brand-new home, the amount of ongoing repairs has been shocking -- and many issues keep happening repeatedly because they were never truly fixed the first time. Here is just a portion of what we have dealt with since move-in: * Multiple fire sprinkler head issues * Garage door malfunction * Shower enclosure leaking -- not once, not twice, but three times in the same bathroom with the same leak, requiring repeated drywall remediation * Plumbing problems, including water seeping through the upstairs hallway ceiling and damaging the dining room below * Roof issues, including ridge tiles needing repair * And most recently, we discovered a side yard water intrusion issue that appears to have existed from day one -- now causing visible moisture damage and foundation concerns. What has made this even more frustrating is the declining level of customer care. In the beginning, the warranty team was willing to help, but after the repairs kept recurring, they became noticeably impatient and unwilling to look deeper into the root causes. Instead of understanding the stress this puts on homeowners, the responses started to feel dismissive -- as if we should simply accept these problems as normal. This is not what you expect when you invest in a new home. A builder should stand behind its work, especially when the same issues keep coming back year after year. Unfortunately, based on our experience, Tri Pointe has not delivered the quality or customer support that homeowners deserve.

That will require another trip to store to figure out and was not done like my previous Tri-Point home 100 yards away in the same development which I replaced the cheap magnet 5 years back. As well, given my irritation on this I noticed my prev reviews might look like rants, so I included pictures of the cement poured in my front yard that I had to buy a jackhammer to dig it up. Pure lazy and/or poor vendor management. (3 pics) And the gutter pure design flaw that shoots water to painted wood on patio rather than putting 3 feet of gutter and routing it properly. (1 pic). All of which with a little more care would not cause the headaches they are today or will in the future. Nor will Tri-Point do a thing but tell you how wonderful their service is and they are here for you. Clearly negligent design flaws should be handled beyond warranty period. Hopefully you can see this was not some nut on a rant. It has taken a lot of time, effort, some sweat equity or labor and will in the future to correct these issues.
