CalBeat Construction is RELENTLESS with the calls....daily sales calls and texts from various numbers -one right after the other!! They "claim" i submitted and inquiry then refer to me in whatever name from Bonnie to Mrs Nelson and then use the hook, since i have you on the line are you interested...i have blocked and requested they remove my number from the call list. This co is ridiculous and i would never do business with a co like this for these sales practices. On a side note i dont even own my home; which i told them, so NO I do not need nor want your service. STOP. read more

CalBear went above and beyond. I interviewed 5 different contractors. Calbear stood out from the crowd immediately. They were incredibly informative and proved over the phone that they had more than enough experience to start our bathroom remodel. Armando and his team are professional, courteous, and take pride in what they do. They were diligent in making sure they understood our vision for the project, asked the right questions, and executed our vision flawlessly. We've updated the house several times and have always settled when it came to contractor, but CalBear has set the standard. They were very professional, always returned my calls promptly, and helped me to stay in my budget. Throughout the project, they allowed me to comment and critique the progress and ask questions to ensure everything was built as I intended. They offered helpful suggestions and allowed me to make changes without question as the project unfolded. Everything was always transparent and project updates were a breeze. We couldn't be more pleased with our space, and will use CalBear for all future projects. I wouldn't hesitate at all with hiring this company again. read more

CALBEAR did an amazing and professional job. They did an amazing job remodeling my bathroom. A serious company that you can trust-if you want a quality job call CalBear. I recommend it. read more

The customer service is terrible! I received a call from a Danielle to confirm an appointment. My cellphone dropped the call. I tried to call back and no one answered. Later, I received a text message that I was rude for hanging up. I tried to explain that the call dropped. I was accused of being a liar. This is absolutely unacceptable to speak to anyone this way. Assuming without facts is the problem with people now a days. This is totally unacceptable. Where has quality customer service, empathy and understanding go? I'm certainly grad that I found out how this company operates before hiring them. read more

The work crew did an excellent job removing a tub and installing a shower. Very skilled and experienced crew. Had to drop the rating to a 4 thanks to communication issues with the desk/office staff. I'm not talking about language issues. We picked out the water on and off valve. Someone else picked out the grab bar that didn't match. Someone else picked out the niche. All fixed it looks beutiful. Thanks to the Calbear crew and owner. read more

We shopped around and got multiple quotes, ended up going with CalBear because of their good reviews and great examples. So glad we did because they did solid clean work, attention to detail was great, and they finished the job up quickly and efficiently. The old fiberglass tub was old and scratched, and already chipping so we wanted to upgrade and are so happy with how our remodeled shower turned out! I have already recommended Calbear to my friend, who is also wanting to upgrade. Thank you, CalBear for your great service! read more

Hired the team at CalBear for two jobs. First was to install a walk-in shower and the second was a living room remodel. I received quotes for both jobs from other contractors and CalBear was the most reasonable without sacrificing quality. The other contractors spent a lot of time on selling the premium product and then quoting a base model and then trying to upsell; whereas CalBear listen to what we wanted and showed us what else was available. They were straight to the point, which I appreciate. The teams were prompt and kept me informed throughout the work. It has been 1 yr since they completed the work and I am still pleased with the outcome. I have recommended and will continue to recommend and hire them for future work. Thank you CalBear! read more

I couldn't be happier with my bathroom remodel. CalBear demolished the old bathroom and installed beautiful new acrylic walk-in shower with shower bench, new vanity and toilet, new ceramic tile flooring. It's beautiful! Their customer service is great. They were always available when I called either the office or their rep, David Shorey. The installation took four days and their guys always arrived on time and were very nice. I could not recommend them more highly. I will call them for any further work I need. So glad I found them. read more

We have a small bathroom remodeling project. They started on Monday (after rescheduling from the previous Tuesday) and the job is supposed to be done by Friday, and may spill into Saturday per Calbear's word. Sure enough it's spilled into Saturday. But the issue is that the worker never showed up on Saturday. After multiple calls to Calbear, they finally said that the guy wasn't going to show up because he had a family emergency. In the meantime I had all my appointments for the day cancelled, a bathroom that's half done an dust all over the place. Mid-Dec: the job is now completed and CalBear gave me a couple of extras at no cost to compensate for the troubles I had at the start. Overall, I am satisfied with their workmanship and may ask them to come back for another project. I therfore upgraded the rating to 4 stars. read more

Victor Mendoza was great. Very detailed work and very professional. We now have a show room master bathroom. Showed up to work on time every day. Cal-bear provided daily updates and schedules. Very pleased with the price as well. Many thanks read more

When job was finished and they received their payment unfortunately that's where the service stopped There were a few things that needed to be addressed and repaired After scheduling them 3 times with no call no show I still have things unfinished Dont give them their last payment until you are completely sure you wont need to call them agai6 They wont show up I am really worried about the guarantee Wont recommend Finally get someone to keep an appointment. Only to be told that the leak I have is an old one SERIOUSLY???? why do you think the bathroom needed to be remodeled They completely gutted the bathroom Replaced the shower Built a new bathroom sub floor New flooring New vanity And painted the bathroom At the cost of thousands But they did it ON TOP OF THE LEAK THAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO BEGIN WITH !!! Then looked at me a d said We only do remodeling This is now a complete disaster The water is now coming through the ceiling downstairs No integrity Do not use this company read more

Very pleased for a second time with Edgar and his professionalism. He helped me through the process of remodeling my second bathroom. The job was very well done as I expected and exactly how I imagined it. The project manager James was great to work with as well and answered all my questions. Recommend these guys and would use them a 3rd time. read more

My gosh what an incredible bathroom remodel I received from CalBear. From start to finish! What impressed me the most is some of the trim I felt wasn't matching up to my standard. Laura was our sales person. She was always there for me and notified the construction team. 5 days later they showed up. Removed the trim and replaced to my complete satisfaction. Laura came that night to check on it and see if I was satisfied. I highly recommend! read more

The work they did was good, but they were not honest in drawing up the contract. The person who came to the house to do the quote presented himself as a contractor, but he's not a contractor and is simply a designer and sales person. I learned a good lesson to always get it multiple quotes and go through the contract with a very fine tooth comb. read more

be careful when you sign the contract, make sure what you need to be done written down. I have the bathroom installed and the sheetrock repaired, were thinking that they will paint the sheetrock after the new replacement. They actually want me to pay for painting it. everything extra that is not listed in the contract they will charge you a very high price for it and keep tell me that they need to rewrite the work orders, sound like a big corporation. They also telling me that the worker is from there company, the end up subcontract it to someone else. read more

I recently had my Bathroom remodeled because it did need a new makeover. I chose CalBear Construction they seemed to be reasonable on their prices for such work. Edgar Montano designer and sales Rep was very helpful on helping me to choose the style and material I would like for the project. Within a week after signing the contract and agreeing for the work they started. First it was the demo which took about 5 hours or so to complete then came the floor tiling, then the plumbing the tub and shower install. There were setbacks but the company and Edgar got me through them especially Edgar what a great employee he was he always kept me abreast to what's next and if I had any questions or concerns, he would always get back with me. It took about a month to complete the project but what great work all the workers did. I'm very pleased with the final outcome of my new Bathroom it looks amazing. Thank you, CalBear Construction, and thank you Edgar. Great job... read more

I cannot say enough good things about Calbear Construction! They turned both of my old, dated, ugly bathrooms into magnificent showpieces. From the beginning of the process to the end, Calbear was a pleasure to work with. Armando and his team helped me pick great furnishings to go in my bathrooms. I was always kept abreast of what was going on and what to expect next. They use a website called buildertrend which helps keep you informed of what's going on with your project and your budget. I was always in contact with my project manager, Mauricio. My concerns were addressed promptly. All the artisans that worked on my bathrooms were consummate professionals. The tile work is exquisite. The floors look fantastic. They were able to handle everything, painting, electrical, plumbing, you name it. They are extremely hard workers and came almost every day to make sure that my projects were finished in a timely manner. The first bathroom that they completed for me was done in less than two weeks, which I think is a record! As you can see from the pictures, my bathrooms look magnificent. I love using them now. read more

I would not hire this team again. The crew were professional and polite, but we never knew until the night before if anyone was showing up the next day. There were quite a few days with no work being done. Salesman told us a small bathroom would take a week, possibly two weeks. It was the 5th week that we made the payment for the final work. The supervisors came out and replaced tile that was scratched during vanity installation and had to grout the shower pan. It seemed like everyone except the supervisors were learning on the job, but there was no one training them. The company seems to have a large number of employees and the office staff were very responsive. I wish them luck because they have a lot of potential at this company. read more

CalBear is the WORST at communicating with their customers. Once the project was underway, at no time did it go as promised. EVERY time the workmen were due at our home they were late (up to an hour and 20 minutes!), with no call. What was supposed to be a 1-2 day install turned into 4 days spread out over two and a half weeks! All due to no communication. The workmen also left our bathroom super dusty and gritty. It took me over an hour to clean. The ONLY person who even tried to make this better was Edgar. Everyone else ignored our emails. Lastly, when they finally showed up unannounced to finish for the 4th day -- they threatened me with a collection company because I missed their call made after hours the same evening for the final payment.....knowing full well the disaster of an install they had done!!!! Worst experience I have ever had with any type of renovation. I would not recommend this company - horrible communication, customer service, cleanliness, and responsiveness. read more

My beautiful shower now enables me to continue to live an independent life with a barrier free access for a roll in shower chair.  Cal Bear has a professional office staff and fantastic installers.  Laura patiently listened to my safety concerns and provided suggestions without pressuring me into buying anything. So happy with the nonslip tile floor and the acrylic walls.  Armando was quick to respond to my e-mails and the installers measured and positioned 3 grab bars per my request, lowered the niche and the sliding shower head holder so I can easily reach them while sitting. Being a 75 year old disabled woman, this could have been a nightmare project with a different contractor so I am very grateful this new shower is a success! read more

Here's an update to my previous review. The owner of CalBear immediately phoned me upon reading my review. He sent a repair man out within a few days! The repair person repaired the shower doors, put up new shelves and recaulked where it was needed. This is our guest shower but the shower was tested to make sure everything was ok and everything appears to be working properly. At this point I would like to recommend them read more

My uncle owns a property in Capistrano that he's had for at least 30+ years, he purchased it back then and thought every year he'd remodel a little and make it come to life, that never happened and that house definitely deserved some good care and loving, after checking reviews for several placed, I contacted Edgar at CalBear , they were quick, reliable, attentive and had an eye for detail. They knew exactly what we wanted and managed to do it in our budget, no time delays, no excuses, just clean and excellent work done. read more

Overall they provided a good service and were very professional! I would recommend their service for anyone trying to look for some great work. The sales person Edgar was also very helpful throughout the whole process. I would also like to shout out the manager Armando who was also very helpful and showed nothing but exceptional professionalism and great service! I was very satisfied with the work they did and I would hire them again in the future! read more

On-line I requested an in home free estimate from Bath Fitter. Since Bath Fitter advertises but does not service my area I was contacted by CalBear as one of their authorized vendors. I requested a free estimate to convert an existing tub/shower enclosure to a walk-in shower. The estimator called to confirm the appointment, requested to come earlier and arrived at the earlier rescheduled time. Unfortunately, he was very rude, disrespectful and argumentative during his sales presentation. He explained that CalBear installs acrylic shower and tile installations. I was shocked when he told me that he would only give me an estimate for one and demanded to know right there on the spot which one I wanted an estimate for. I explained that as a consumer that I would like both an estimate for an acrylic shower enclosure and another estimate for a tile installation. He became rude and obnoxious to me and I could see that my elderly mother became uneasy and did not fee comfortable having him in the house. I immediately asked him to leave my home and contacted the company to report his obnoxious and aggressive behavior. If the estimators are so obnoxious and uncooperative what can I expect from the installers? Going to pass on this company and keep searching for one who wants and appreciates my business. The response that the owner posted on YELP was ridiculous. Both my mother and I found it to be laughable since he was not present to hear the poor performance of his employee nor did he bother to contact us by telephone to speak to either of us about the interaction with his employee. The employee must be a relative. This is definitely a business which consumers should avoid as there is no accountability nor concern about customer interactions with their awful staff. read more

I highly recommend Bath Makeover. From start to finish Armando would always respond to any questions we had. Christina would always call us at the end of the day to see how things went for the day and let us know the schedule for the next day. If something wasn't right during install. They immediately fixed it. The price Armando quoted was the price we paid. We will have Bath Makeover redo our other bathroom in the future. Here are some before and after pictures. read more

Where do I start? Hold on to your hat! The job walk was great! I compared prices with other contractors and Cal Bear was within $600 of a contractor referred by a coworker but I choose Cal Bear because of the in-depth conversation and transparency I received from the guy that did the consultation (I know his name, I just don't want to say it). So after deciding to use Cal Bear things slowly started falling apart. I rushed a pocket door to my house for $600 just to make sure all The material was here before they started the job (as I was asked to). The initial crew was for guys but then turned into one. One guy to demo a shower/tub combo, demo a wall between two rooms and to close of a closet and reopen it from the hallway. This guy was late, left early and tried to talk about the gym or connect on other things to make it seem like his tardiness was okay. Hell NO. So vacation days were used waiting at home and then 4-6hrs would go by and the office would say he's not gonna make it. WTF. Some days they office would say after the installer leaves, he'll be there tomorrow and I had to say.. the MF never showed up. All the while trying to give the benefit of the doubt because I do outside construction this was too much. So I when I called the office The installer wants to show up with an attitude like he was wrongly accused of something. LMAO. Please stop but wait it get worse. So the guys installing the new shower didn't grout it correctly. I had to call the office to have it regrouted and EVEN then i had to grout it AND seal it myself. Do you remember me mentioning that pocket door THAT I RUSHED HERE TO START THE JOB. Well the first installers couldn't install it because they didn't know it was a pocket door. WAIT, this door has been here THE ENTIRE TIME AND NOW YOU'RE JUST LOOKING AT IT. GIVE ME A BREAK. My house was DUSTY ASF after they left as if they didn't cover anything. Multiple calls where made to the office and supervisors had to come out to verify what I was saying. LOOK, the last installer that finished this job (installed the pocket door and installed some tile) was good. If you choose to use Cal Bear construction right when you notice things are going south STOP THE JOB and Ask for different installers or go with someone else. The office people were nice, no complaints there and like I said the consultation was LEGIT. Just make sure you cross your t's and dot your I's when it's time to get things completed. read more

This great team of guys remodeled my mother-in-laws bathroom to accommodate a senior citizen. They removed the tub and travertine surround to installed an acrylic shower enclosure for easy entrance. First, I want to mention Miguel who came and quoted the job, very nice, quick and fair. He did not try to oversell and explained everything perfectly. Thee, the kind gentlemen who did all the actual labor, he was very polite and worked extremely hard and what a wonderful job he did. Then, finally to Armando who was like a foreman, he was very sweet and he made sure the city inspector showed up on time and kept me in the loop the entire time. This job only took two days as promised and cleaned up perfectly between days. Fantastic group of hard workers. I highly recommend this company! read more

Armando is a pleasure to work with. He made remodeling my mothers shower an hour away (with no traffic) a painless experience. He was on time and did everything I asked of him. Christina in the office is a 10 in customer service. Really a great process, I was kept up to date by phone calls and photos every night. 9 days start to finish, very impressive. All I did was sign the contract and give Armando the key. The team of workers were clean, professional, and had an excellent attitude and work ethic. I have a few minor issues (scratched/sharp schluder, that's the metal trim) and hope to have them taken care of before my mom gets home from rehab. All in all I would hire these people again in a heart beat. Super happy! read more

Our remodeling representative Todd Alexander took great care of us! He came out to our home with an emphasis on remodeling our existing bathroom shower to a new safer shower with safety grab bars and expanding our existing small shower to a larger shower to include a new slip resistant shower pan. We went with the Acrylic Wall up to the ceiling and Acrylic shower pan since it is USA made and all came with a Lifetime Warranty. Todd thanks for taking charge of our shower renovation project and making our new safe shower a reality. I highly recommend Calbear Construction for all of your home renovation needs! read more

I hired Cal Bear Construction for my kitchen remodel and I half to say I am very pleased with my choice in them. From beginning to end the communication was excellent Joseph's presentation was very thorough and answered every question I had he was very personable and transparent with prices, throughout the whole process of my remodel he was very helpful with any worries or questions I had and made sure if he was not available to take my call that there was someone to talk to, The owner to the lead production manager was very knowledgeable and helpful as well, other company's I was quoted from were to over priced and materials used were less than satisfactory when compared to Cal Bear, I was also pleasantly surprised with there life time warranty and second to non financing, I really can't say enough good things about them I will most definitely be using there services for any future projects, save the trouble and go with Cal Bear Construction you won't be disappointed. read more

The salesman was great but unfortunately the doors are too wide for the shower size which makes it very difficult to get in and out. I am surprised that the pan was ordered for the odd size measurements but not the doors as they used the same dimensions.Even though the shower looks beautiful it is almost impossible for someone who needs assistance. They reordered the doors but they arrived with low quality glass, also the doors were 5 inches too short!Currently it is a safety issue for the elderly person using it, but I'm hoping that this can be resolved. read more

Todd has been great! From the first phone call to showing up on time!! We had at least 6 different companies come and look at our bathroom. Todd ended up coming out (for someone else after hours) and emailing us our price THAT NIGHT!! Not one other company did that! I ended up having to call most of them days to a week later asking for their price!. Todd is very knowledgeable, patient and kind. He's been very responsive to our needs, even coming back a second time to help us out by giving us more confidence in our choices for bathroom remodel. read more

Just completed my tub conversion to walk in shower. Workmanship was superior. I am totally satisfied. I started the process just before Easter so it took a little longer than expected but it was worth the wait. The financing was 60 months, zero interest, great deal. It was a pleasure working with Valentino, Luis and the installation crew. read more

I set out to remodel my aging mother's kitchen. I received many bids from several companies. I explained we had a set budget and timeline as well. All the other contractors said I was nuts except CalBear. You see you need to understand why I would put my 92 year old mother through a major renovation like this during a time in her life where disruption should be minor. My mom has metastasis kidney cancer and is dying. She has limited time remaining and her wish was to have a new kitchen to enjoy during those last days. With COVID-19 it just make things worst since she is the target audience for the pandemic disease. CalBear stepped up and agreed to take on the challenge. I will save the Boring details and simply say thank you to the entire team for putting up with her and myself during construction. As with any project you will have moments of challenge but they had there eye on the finish line and two days before her 93rd birthday it was done. I am posting before and after pictures so you can see the transformation. Thanks again. To David, William and Freddie as well as the entire team. She loves it!! read more
