    Our kitchen and bathroom remodel was on budget and on time and it turned out better than what we expected. Shon had a great design idea and pitched it to us during the initial consultation. After a few 3D renderings were presented we moved forward. We worked with their affiliate Kitchen Bath Makers who has a wonderful showroom. We appreciated the fact that all the materials they carry are of excellent quality. We couldn't be happier with the end result.

    Shon and the design team did a wonderful job helping me choose the best fit and colors for my bathroom remodels. From the flooring to the shower pan, and the whisper fan to the mirror with a defogger built in.

    Blues Bros. did a beautiful job on our kitchen and bathroom remodel. We had an '80s style bathroom and kitchen that desperately needed a makeover. Batel was our project manager and she was very helpful in making sure that our project moved along quickly and smoothly. She made several suggestions that I would have not have thought of and she was very pleasant and easy to work with. The project was completed on time as promised. Blues Bros. had the most remarkable crew come out and do the work. Gabriel, his wife and son Jesus did primarily all of the labor and they were fantastic. I would highly recommend Blues Bros. for your next home remodel.

    BBC replaced all our outlets, and about half of them are kinda wonky from the wall like this one.

    THE PROJECT: My husband and I bought our first house in March 2021. From the inspection report, we knew it needed work (plumbing, electrical, foundation repair). We also wanted to renovate a bathroom, and then convert our garage into an ADU. In April 2021 I met with several contractors and chose Onn and Blues Brothers Construction (BBC) because of their reviews, and also because Onn was the one GC who went through the inspection report with us and talked through the problems that needed fixing. He seemed detail oriented and thorough, confident about being able to do all the work we were asking, and was reassuring and calm which were qualities I knew would be essential throughout this project. COMMUNICATION-- Once we signed a contract, (July 1, 2021) Onn disappeared and all communication was through Renee, the office manager. I was rarely able to talk to anyone who actually knew the work itself, just passing messages through Renee. It often took days or a week or more to hear back about a question or issue, sometimes having to ask the same thing over and over before it would even be acknowledged (several times I couldn't get an answer bc no one involved knew the answer about work their team did). I rarely heard from Onn, maybe 4-5 times over the 6 months that work was ongoing. BuilderTrend website was a big draw on signing, but was only really updated for invoices. Calendar was either blank, wrong, or updated after-the-fact. I'm glad I took lots of my own progress pics bc I never saw any from BBC. THE FOUNDATION- One of the key issues was a crack in the foundation. Onn was initially confident about taking this on. He charged me $10k to draw blueprints of the foundation to figure out the best way to tackle it. His team took measurements in July. It took 3 months to give me an estimate that was 10x what a competitor quoted. Finally, Onn told me he actually didn't really want to do the foundation and recommended I go to someone else for it. I felt frustrated and misled, and wish he had just been upfront about not wanting to do it in the beginning. ADU-- We hired BBC to draw up blueprints for the ADU conversion. We finalized a layout in August, were told it'd be 5-6wks to have the full plans. Mid-December the plans were still not done, I couldn't get an answer on their progress, and I was realizing I didn't want to do the ADU with BBC. I finally told them to just forget the plans and asked for a refund, Onn agreed verbally over the phone (though would later try to back out of that). Side note: In October I asked for a general ballpark estimate for vaulting part of the ceiling in the ADU. It took a full month for them to come back with an estimate of $50,000-$100,000 to vault the ceiling in a less-than 400sq ft space (others I've talked to since then said that shouldn't cost more than $20k). ROOF & MOLD- In September BBC replaced the plumbing throughout the house, then closed up the walls. In November I noticed mold and water droplets on the floor, under a baseboard near where plumbing work had been done. Onn was unresponsive. I talked with Cris about the issue, he insisted the plumbing was not the cause, his answer was "maybe someone spilled a drink inside the walls before closing them up." Thankfully I had taken a lot of pictures along the way and realized the problem was two vent pipes in the roof that BBC left unflashed, and water poured in during a recent rain causing a lot of mold to grow inside the walls. Four times in the next 4 wks BBC assured me they had fully taken care of the mold, only for me to find more mold and more work needed. They didn't follow standard practices for mold remediation, never got a dehumidifier to dry out the space, or even enclose it to prevent mold from spreading. At one point a moldy piece of drywall was left sitting on my kitchen counter over the weekend. I finally hired my own mold remediation specialist, he took care of it in 5 days. I never got a satisfying apology from BBC, only "mistakes happen that's part of doing construction work." MISC- Since moving in we've found many other things that were not done properly, sloppy finish work. Touch-ups are one thing, but for example the EV charger they installed wasn't even hooked up to the electrical panel; no caulk around bathtub; outlets askew from the wall; etc. CONCLUSION-- The work was finally completed in early January 2022. Final paperwork wasn't signed till April bc Onn kept agreeing to things then going back on them, and tried to get us to 1. Give up our warranty and 2. Sign a non-disparagement clause (to not allow a bad review). BBC agreed to work outside their usual scope with our project, assuring me they were qualified, but then made many mistakes that caused delays. Needless to say, we are using a different contractor for the ADU conversion.

    We recently had our kitchen remodeled by Blues Brothers. The quality of the work was superb. The project was completed almost on time. Midway through, our project manager left Blues Brothers, causing some communication issues until management stepped in to oversee the completion. We are extremely happy with the workmanship, materials, and final result.

    I contacted Blues Bro back in late 2020 and then we went over some things. In the mean time I contacted other agencies as well trying to see where I get the most value for my money, it was here. I locked in the contract, to the person getting work done please go back and forth and negotiate. I hired them so that I would not have to deal with contractors for my adu.. I was happy on my results and how my project turned out to be. I gave my own rough blueprints to Blues Bros which helped a lot. Project mgn was Sussan and cordinators changed but Renne was very, very helpful. Payments were done in installs of each step the project goes through.. they have an app it tells you when the payment will be done. I bought most of my own stuff, even though they have inventory inhouse. I would recommend to future client, negotiate, read the contract and be upfront with budget and leave a little buffer. Have communication with both contractors and Blues Bros. Be on top of things right away from the first second. Get the number of the contractors and there boss and ask for weekly of daily status of work. If something is off have chat with both Blues and Contractors right away. Everyone has the same end goal, which is to finish the job so stay on top of it. Attached are some pics to kinda give you an idea.

    Our remodel was completed a year ago. It seemed only fair for me to post the review based on using this kitchen and seeing how the workmanship faired. In addition, I was waiting to see if Blues Brothers would help with any issues that arose later on and held up their end of the workmanship warranty. I interviewed 4 companies and ultimately decided on Blues Brothers because I connected with the project manager and was very excited to be working with another female. The other 3 companies I interviewed, came to the appointment starting off with "will your husband be joining us?" At this point, if you are a real contractor you must be a complete moron to think that the husbands are the ones calling all the design shots. This shows a lack of experience and an elevated ego. So no thank you to misogynistic attitudes. With Blues Brothers, I hit it off with the assigned project manager and she was wonderful at the meeting. She really listened to what I had in mind and was very reassuring. All this came to a screeching halt when I signed the contract. Once my contract was signed, I was immediately ghosted. Not a word. When I was finally contacted, Renee the office manager took over my project. The company only told me that the PM had a family emergency and would not be on my project going forward. Fine, I'm not cold-hearted and I would have completely understood if she had told me or given me a heads up but weeks went by without a word on her whereabouts. As much as Renee was good at being the messenger between me and the subcontractors, she did not see my kitchen at all. How do you manage a kitchen remodel without ever seeing the home? All these other project managers that I read about on Yelp and even the owner of the company were completely nonexistent in my project. You would think that the owner himself would reach out to me especially when his own project manager abandoned the project right off the bat. Not at all. Not a peep. My project was very straightforward and I had purchased all the materials and finishes ahead of time since this was not my first remodel. (My previous contractor for my other two home remodels moved out of the country so I had to see a new one.) I was completely in shock at what was unfolding. This was not a way to start off a kitchen remodel. I wanted a project manager for this project because I wanted a professional. I assumed BB could handle it because they have project managers but of course, I did not end up having one. I should have received a discount because I paid for a PM and did not receive one! The remodel was then contracted out to subcontractors who seemed to understand remodeling about 50% of the time. My backsplash tile work seemed okay but the grout was left on the tile without cleanup. The nail holes were not patched up and the cabinet doors were not attached properly leaving a wide gap in between the doors. The doors were not adjusted properly and to this day, it still looks off. Another company came to work on another cabinet project for us last week and it looks like I will have to hire them to fix these doors I have only had for a year. BB will tell you to go to their cabinet partner next door but I will say, you will need to proceed with caution. The subcontractor that BB hired to install my countertops did not do as nice of a job as I would have liked. The countertop seams are noticeable and did not look professionally done. The edges on the countertops don't look smooth either like they haven't been sanded or smoothed out. The whole point of having a project manager was so I did not have to look into every single issue since that's not my job. Each issue that rose took weeks to resolve. In the end, I never thought I would be among the contractor fail stories. I guess you never know what you really get. Even the contract with the warranties and workmanship guarantees is really meaningless. It only causes more time and stress to reach out, hoping they can help with a solution, which by the way I have not received a response to. My emails have bounced back saying the email address is now undeliverable. I also shared my sentiment with their post-project review as well as their team who came in to take photos. In the end, what's done is done. I am grateful to be able to even go through a kitchen remodel and if I can help another homeowner in their remodel journey then at least there's some salvation.

    Notice the backslash. That's Heath Tile turned subway offset.

    Mika was our project manager and she helped us navigate the process of designing and brainstorming the kitchen and told us what was in our power to do (the kitchen is a small space). As far as quality is concerned, the contractors that Mika worked in coordination with were friendly (the Farcon crew) and kept things pretty clean throughout. I'd recommend them for a kitchen project for sure.

    We are really happy with the work Alexandra and her team did on our kitchen remodel. She kept us updated at each step of the way and also worked with us with making design decisions about the kitchen. Her team was also very diligent and thoughtful. Overall I would highly recommend anyone looking for kitchen remodeling assistance to reach out to Alexandra at Blues Brothers.
