We've worked with Ben on multiple projects, and he's been an absolute pleasure every time. Having sold many properties over the years, we rarely come across someone with his level of attention to detail and strong design vision. If you're looking for truly top-notch, high-quality home remodeling, he's the person to call. His experience shows in every aspect of his work--he genuinely knows what he's doing. read more

We are delighted with our remodel by Ben and the folks at Apex! Ben did all the coordinating of the third party vendors (electrician, plumber, shower door) so that it was seamless for us. Plus, the project had little or no gaps in time. We are very happy with how the whole project turned out. read more

This is a long overdue review of the services Apex provided. We worked with Apex for a house remodel with various additional projects added. Tony is very personable and easy to work with. He is responsive and makes sure to take time to answer questions. The show room is helpful for clients to see and feel the designs and finishes. Tony has great, professional taste and it is apparent he has been doing this for a long time by his expertise services. Loved the computer generated images we were shown to help us make our decisions because we could see what it would look like. We are very pleased with the final product of the redone foyer, gutted kitchen project, work on a spare room, painting, and even installation of doors. My favorite part is the wood work in the foyer, it's absolutely stunning. Of course there are snafus with any project but we did feel supported by the Apex team to make things correct and have a beautiful end project that my family and I are currently loving and appreciating. We would highly recommend the Apex team! read more

Location: Rancho Santa Margarita We originally started a master bedroom, bathroom and laundry room project with Tony and the Apex team. We then added on full kitchen remodel and multiple other various upgrades throughout the house. The process of selecting materials and designing the spaces with Tony at the Apex showroom made things so convienant and stress free! They had tons of options, pictures, great suggestions and advice to offer. Throughout the whole process Tony was friendly and flexible as I would add on more items or make changes. He was great at communicating timelines and next steps with me. The Apex crews were also just as great! I work from home and they were always very polite to me and considerate or my time. His tile guys and paint guys were extra top notch, with great detail to quality in their work. Construction is never the funnest thing to go through but with Tony and Apex crew it was as stress free as it could be and the end results are beautiful! My friends all tease that our house looks like a fancy hotel now and our bathroom is a spa. Thank you Tony and the Apex crew! Before and after pics for reference. read more

Ben and his team at Apex did a great job on our kitchen remodel and the new downstairs flooring and paint. Communication was easy the whole way through -- Ben kept me in the loop and delivered exactly what he promised. He also gave us some great ideas along the way that we decided to go with, and we're glad we did. The work looks great, everything was finished on time, and the price was very reasonable. We're so happy with how the downstairs turned out and are really enjoying the space. Overall, just a smooth, professional experience from start to finish. Highly recommend. read more

I worked with Tony, the manager from Apex to remodel FOUR different bathrooms in our home. Tony is really an "at your service" type of guy, and truly cares about meeting the needs of his customers from start to finish. He himself was ALWAYS punctual to any of our meetings to plan and was incredibly friendly to work with. All of Apex's workers gave A+ execution every step of the way. Plumbers, tilers, painters, and fabricators were all top notch. I have not one negative thing to say about any of them because even if there was the slightest snag, it was taken care of in a blink of an eye, no questions asked! Remodeling can be fun but also stressful, but they truly do everything they can to make it as painless as possible. In all, I would 100% trust and recommend them to friends and family for any kitchen or bath project. Thank you Tony, Ben, and everyone who helped us over the past year read more

My wife and I reached out to multiple remodeling companies to remodel our kitchen, three bathrooms, and wood flooring. We ultimately decided to go with Apex KBF after meeting with Tony. His quoted price was reasonable not the cheapest but definitely not the most expensive compared to other companies. We could not be happier with how everything turned out. Their flexibility, professionalism, and most importantly the quality of work exceeded our expectations. Any remodeling process can be overwhelming but Tony simplified things for us. As soon as construction started, the foreman, and his team, were on site every morning, Monday through Friday (and sometimes Saturday!), 8am-5pm, like clockwork, until the job was done. Overall, we are beyond thrilled with almost everything. The result is gorgeous and functional. I cannot even pick a favorite part in this kitchen everything is just stunning. This was a big project but everyone worked super hard to make things happen as smoothly as possible. I will definitely work with Tony & Apex again for some other projects. We highly recommend them to family and friends! read more

Ben helped us with our primary bath remodel. From beginning to end he was professional and easy to work with! Starting with layout and design, Ben had great suggestions but incorporated my style requests. His crews were all fantastic - on time, polite, thorough. It was clear they all take great pride in their craft. I would highly recommend and will use Apex again on my next project! read more

Apex KBF did a good job with my Kitchen and guest bathroom remodeling. I'm satisfied with their work and they worked with my schedule .

I would use their company again for my next remodeling project. CGN read more

Ben and his team were excellent to work with. We were overwhelmed with extensive repairs but he was very patient and never made us feel that our 1400 sq.ft condo was not worth his time. He is very responsive and available for any communication. read more

Cannot recommend them enough. My mother and I worked with Ben and his crew on our kitchen remodel. Ben is an absolute professional and very easy to work with. He's patient, extremely skilled and creative - He listened to our ideas and helped us when it came to designing something beautiful with great materials. He is an extremely trustworthy person. His initial estimate was very fair. Cannot recommend him more highly. Thanks Ben! read more

Cannot recommend them enough. We have 1 beautiful kitchen and 3 gorgeous bathrooms all care of Ben and his fantastic crew. Communication was great and everyone was so courteous and considerate of my pregnancy and then new baby. They did everything possible to keep noise and dust down and I was very thankful. I interviewed 6 other companies before selecting Ben. I still remember that after I spoke to Ben, my decision was made. Ben & his company are fantastic. read more

We have a beautiful new kitchen and shower due to Ben and his company at ApexKBF. Every one of his crews were excellent and very professional while working in our home. Ben had outstanding ideas, contributions, and support for our creativity. He has been very thorough in each step of the project. We highly recommend Ben and ApexKBF. read more

The challenging aspect about this project was finding the right general contractor. After researching multiple GCs, we chose Ben. We had peace of mind knowing that he had a showroom and an office, quality materials, and most of all he was quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns. Lastly, it wasn't just Ben. His team of subcontractors from teardown crew, plumbing, electricians, cabinet, countertop, and flooring guys were timely and also addressed our questions. His guys have been working with Ben for years and you can see the open communication within themselves. If we had future projects, no doubt we will use Ben again. read more

We did a bathroom remodel with Tony, and he was great to work with. He is an excellent communicator and organizer, who always updated us on the scheduling, when the tile guys were coming, which days the plumbers were in etc., and he also responded quickly when I needed to reach him with questions. His crew showed up when they were supposed to, and double checked with me on any details they were unsure of before proceeding. They were polite and kept the other areas of the house clean. I'm very happy with the workmanship and the project overall. read more

I had KBF do a partial remodel of the master bath. Ben offered a fair price and plenty of options for tiling. The timeline matched the estimates. He responded to my questions in a timely manner. Be sure to make your expectations clear regarding design choices and what prep material can and cannot stay up between work days. In the end the workmanship was of high quality and I will keep KBF on the short list for any future contracts. Highly recommended. read more

We had such a great experience with Tony and Apex. Our bathroom and bedroom remodel went very smoothly. Tony was great at communicating and keeping the project on schedule. We are so happy with how everything turned out, the work that was done is beautiful. The team they have working for them are great, they showed up on time, were respectful of our home and professional. I highly recommend Apex Kitchen Bath & Flooring. read more

Apex recently updated both of our showers, bringing them into 2020 after being original design from 1965... We wanted something timeless and modern, nothing too over the top which would hurt our house resale. Ben and his team did a great job of staying within budget and schedule. His sub contractors were all very nice and talented tradesmen, respecting the house and our needs. If anything was mildly delayed, Ben was excellent with communication and alerted us quickly. would recommend Apex to anyone and look forward to the day that they can update our kitchen too. Thanks Ben! read more

We just had all three bathrooms remodeled by APEX. The result of their work is outstanding, from tile work, to electrical, to plumbing, to painting. Ben is a joy to work with. No matter the issue or change, nothing phases him. We have had numerous neighbors and friends see our new bathrooms and are in awe as to how beautiful they came out. BTW, neither myself or my wife have a good design eye. Ben was instrumental in guiding us through the selections for tile, flooring, vanities, etc. Bottom line is that APEX does outstanding work at a reasonable price. They get 5 stars from my wife and I. read more

Highly recommend Apex Kitchen Bath Flooring! This is our second time using Apex and they were flexible with any additions/changes we needed l. Ben communicated every step of the way. They were able to work around our schedule. Thank you Apex Kitchen Bath Flooring, we will definitely be using them again. read more

Very responsive, efficient, high quality work. Everyone was friendly. Finished before the projected timeline

We remodeled 3 bathrooms. The master bath was a complete gut job and other 2 bathrooms were counters, sinks,faucets, toilets only. We were extremely happy we chose Apex. Ben was very helpful and made great suggestions. There was never any pressure and Ben was very patient and helpful and answered all our questions. We were thrilled with the finished project. Julio, the tile installer was meticulous and did an excellent job. I highly recommend Apex for any remodeling project. read more

A few years ago, Ben took great care of us when we updated the flooring in our home. So when it came time to update our kitchen and Master Bath, there was no question that we would work with Ben again. Ben is honest, compassionate, caring, professional, thorough and committed to customer service. He approaches each home project as if it were his own home. My husband and I love Ben. For the kitchen project, Ben helped me select an absolutely gorgeous quartz counter top, a downright sexy backsplash and luxurious granite sink. All his people were excellent craftsmen, worked hard to complete the project quickly and took an obvious pride in their work. For the bathroom, Ben helped me select a beautiful quartz counter top. The project took only a few days and Ben came once or twice a day to check on the progress. We consumers have a lot of choices when deciding on our home improvement projects. There are big name stores, subcontractors with wholesale stores, etc. So I know you're probably looking around, getting estimates and competing bids from various sources. I'd like to save you time, trouble and worry. Based on our experience, if you want to work with the BEST, somebody who gives you a competitive price, but works harder than the others to make you happy, somebody who really cares about you and your home, give Ben a call. read more

Apex just finished remodeling our kitchen. Ben is so easy to work with. He had great design ideas and his design store has a very large inventory or all the latest designs and colors and materials. Ben answers your calls and emails immediately, which we really did appreciate. He is so knowledgeable on all the latest models , colors, fixtures and way to do things. Remodeling is never easy, but Ben would step in and even do some of the work himself when my husband wanted things changed. We have had many compliments on our kitchen and we are very pleased with the outcome. If you are thinking of remodeling, give a Ben a call, you will enjoy working with him. read more

Ben and his team did a fantastic job in their 7 week project redoing our master and guest bathrooms, and hallway cabinet set. I wanted modern marble finishes and custom looks, and he was able to do everything I asked. He was very professional and met with us frequently to go through plans and cost breakdowns. He was always promptly responsive and if I wanted to add new ideas, he was able to incorporate them. He was also friendly and personable. I know he and his team worked really hard to put everything together for us and we really appreciated his time and effort! read more

Apex KBF - Remodeled master bathroom with marble porcelain finishes! - General Contractors Near Me - Lake Forest, California

We loved working with Ben. He is very knowledgeable, dependable, and has great ideas. We remodeled our house with Ben in 2019. He and his team did such a great job that we reached back out to him again this year to add in a kitchen island. We had a few people come out to give us quotes and ideas for the island but Ben was the only one that was creative and actually had an idea that fit our space. I can't recommend him enough! I'm sure we will be using him again in the future as well. read more

I had an amazing experience with Ben from Apex, I was looking for a fabricator for Decton and it was hard to find. I called Ben and he quickly responded, he was well priced and the entire process was seamless. He did a fantastic job, I love, love the way the countertops came out! I would recommend him 1000 percent! read more

We did a master bathroom, complete kitchen, and floor remodel of our home with Apex. Ben, the owner, is honest, reliable, personable and a pleasure to work with. Even when we had multiple questions, or changed a detail at the last minute - he was professional and patient. Our remodeled home turned out beautiful, even better than I expected. All of Ben's tradesmen were very nice and trustworthy, we never had issues leaving them alone in the home. Ben was also very flexible with our schedule, even when it interfered with the construction schedule. Overall, we were very happy with Apex. read more

Who is one of the worst customers to be faced with? An engineer, because we want to know and look at every single detail of the job before, during, and after. Ben has the patience of a saint in dealing with his customers. He is ALWAYS friendly and stays on top of the job, big or small, with frequent updates on the work and the schedule. I wanted my kitchen cabinets either painted, refaced, or replaced. When Ben came out to give me an estimate he told me he was a replace-only business. I told him my upper budget limit and was surprised when I got an estimate 15% under, with all new cabinets and countertops included. These aren't contractor grade cabinets either (though the Jarlin cabinets aren't perfect on the interior, but I'm very picky). I was really surprised to find out that I was getting a corner cabinet with lazy susans included, how cool is that! I also had Ben's tile guy install a new kitchen floor, bringing me right to my budget limit for cabinets and counters only, and had his crew install laminate I already purchased through the rest of the house. Of the three installers that did the different jobs, the laminate installers totally blew me away. The flooring really is perfect. For the other work, I had only minor cosmetic issues and those were taken care of quickly with no complaints from Ben to my satisfaction. In my case each of the three jobs went over the original time estimate by one or two days, and each of the installers came in on Saturdays to try to finish quicker. As far as the money budget, the costs were exactly what was quoted with the exception of a couple pattern changes and material upgrades I requested after they started. The plumbing materials for the drain on the new kitchen sink were also not included but I knew that in advance and even with a couple of surprises it was under $100 - less than 1% of the total job. The work is done, my interior is close to spotless in the aftermath, and best of all my condo looks fabulous in part due to Ben's suggestion for colors and patterns. I wish I weren't moving so far away, I'd love to use Apex for projects in my new house. read more

I was looking for places who could provide free quotes to replace my kitchen countertops and possibly the floor also. After reviewing the positive comments here on yelp, I called this place because it was close to where I live. Ben came out same day which was nice, took measurements and I thought I'd get a quote right there and then. But he left and I never heard back from him again. Left VM, no return call! Oh well, i guess he didn't want my business or just to busy! Although Ben notes he sent email; it was never received. Technology sucks! read more

Ben was great! We had a massive insurance loss at our new home. All of our laminate and ceramic tile needed to be replaced. We visited his show room in Lake Forest and selected our floor, brought home the samples and got great pricing. Once the work began, his guys were great. Had no issues getting the flooring and baseboards installed. Everything looks great and about a month later we are still happy with the materials we selected and the work. He also even had his guys come back a fix a few things that we forgot to make sure were done at the end of the job. I'm going to use him again for our master bathroom remodel later on! read more

Very competitive price and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Replaced tile in kitchen and dining room and work was completed ahead of schedule. Being very used to having to clean up after a contractor leaves, I was pleasantly surprised to find no evidence of them having been there other than the new tile. Especially impressed with the straightforward discussion regarding one wall which was not true - throwing a row of tiles very slightly off kilter relative to the wall well into the project, with offer to tear it out and do it again. Any other contractor would probably not say anything. Apex is my first stop for any future work. Mark read more

I have stuck with Apex through three bathroom remodels and that says a lot. I hate construction projects but dealing with Ben helped me survive nicely. He is super calm, always nice and easy to deal with. Most importantly, he never backs away from responsibility and is always happy to attend to any corrections. Reasonable and reliable! read more

Ben is magnificent. If you want a designer/contractor/confessor you can trust, Ben is the one. We came to Apex after reading great reviews on Yelp: it was the wisest decision. From casually picking out possibilities to intensive kitchen remodeling, we were completely cared for by Ben. You never have to worry: he is accessible, flexible, knowledgeable (!), everything you can ask for. The time table was breathtaking. In less than a month, the kitchen is Done. When a glitch would come up, no matter what it was, Ben was here checking it, adjusting it, advising us. Sometimes we would become overwhelmed by choices but his patience and expertise, his kindness and commitment never wavered. Thank you, Ben. We are going to do the master bath next. If you use Apex, you will never regret it. read more

I want to start out by saying the tile work they did on our bathroom floors and in our shower is great. I would recommend them for strictly tile work only. However, my husband asked them if they could also do a bath & shower install, and that's why I cannot give them 5 stars. I am happy with our tile work, but our bath is not level (water pools in the front right corner), I don't think the correct piping was used in the drain, and gas comes back up and makes the bathroom smell. There is a 3/4" gap between the shower head and the wall, and the faucet and the wall. The back panel behind the water handle wasn't glued down so it spins. For the amount of money we spent, I was hoping to be happier with my shower. read more

We were very pleased with Ben and his team of workers during the remodel of our master and guest bathrooms. He was patient with the contract process, and communicated often with what work was going to be done during the week. We had a couple of situations that came up during the process, and Ben was extremely attentive with resolving the problems without any hesitation. I couldn't be more pleased with his professionalism and compassion. The work was completed in the time frame he had quoted. His crew of workers were knowledgeable, friendly, and cleaned up when the work for the day was complete. I will definitely hire Apex to do any future work on our home. read more

Ben is awesome! Helpful, considerate and friendly. He sent his crew out to put in new countertops in our kitchen. They did a good job mostly but left the kitchen a mess and didn't complete the caulking or the back of the sink. We called Ben to explain what happened and he was very quick to apologize. He knocked $100 off the total price and came out to our house a couple days later to finish the job himself! Although we weren't happy with the workers, Ben was great to work with and made sure we got what we paid for! Great customer service! read more
