What really stood out to me was how the team respected our home...they kept it clean, fulled cleaned at the end of each work day...prepped each day just perfectly, went over every detail with us and focused on our job instead of leaving half the day to work on another project. The job was done on time and the price was fair. The whole team was punctual and always let us know when they would get there in the morning. And they were very patient with my barking dog. I would absolutely recommend Premier Construction for any remodel / construction job you have in your home.

I've kind of been procrastinating on this review simply because it won't be short! Ha! Initially…read moremy husband had one of those 'Honey Do' lists that included remodeling our front bathroom. C'mon, how difficult can it be? So we do the demo and find old damage to the framing of the shower and dry rot. Okay I agree we need to call in the professionals. We found Premier through the Diamond Certified booklet and gave Richard a call. When I explained what we wanted Richard said could take on the job immediately and he would provide an estimate. I thought the estimate he came back with was high since we had already done all of the demo. Including getting the beast of a tub out. All I wanted was a frame-less shower, tiled walls, floor, and paint. How can that cost so much? But we needed the bathroom done and they could begin immediately. More about that later. Richard promised the job would be done in two weeks which made us happy since we only had one to use and even with only two people it is tough. Richard came by every morning during the project to check on the progress. Federico and Angel were friendly and arrived early each morning and worked late into the day. They were even 'cheerful' while they worked laughing and chatting with each other. No grumpiness here. At the end of each day I took pics and was very impressed with the progress and how it was all coming together just like I imagined. About the finished bathroom. We really could not be happier. The tile work in the shower is impeccable. They tested the water tightness overnight before beginning to even lay down the shower floor. The floor is sloped so the water will drain properly and not puddle. They added a light/fan combination that wasn't there before and moved electrical outlets to accommodate fixtures. I felt really bad for Federico because he had to go into our attic on a very hot day to hook up the exhaust fan which we did not have before. They even had to shave off the bottom of the original door since the tile floor was higher than the old vinyl floor. My only caution to anyone who uses Premier is to get the shower door factored in early in the project. Like day one. It affects everything including tile and paint. Premier does not do the shower doors which requires getting a bid and conversation from a different contractor. We would have definitely made a few different decisions if we'd talked to the glass guy upfront. Getting back to the cost. We did have to pay for the tile and other materials. I will say that based on the level of effort, the quality of the work, and the finished product, that both my husband and I felt like Richard had underbid this project and we ended up with a product that could/should have cost quite a bit more. Am I complaining? No, we just felt like we were committing a crime. We now have a 'showroom' quality bathroom for the cost of a standard bathroom that will last for the life of the home. All on time and on budget! Thank you Federico, Angel, and Richard! I'll be calling for the other bathroom but please underbid that too! =0)

Not only did the workers leave early every week and text while working, they did not properly…read moreirrigate, fertilize or prune the landscape and as a result almost killed the boxwoods and other hedges. They would also eat lunch during my time using a propane stove under the tree and left their aluminum foil lunch refuse on the ground afterwards. But if that is not all enough I paid them thousands of dollars to properly irrigate our trees but instead of finishing the job they left the water line unconnected to spill freely for months. They neglected the Oleander hedge as the water line was crimped and the hedge received no water for months. When I complained to them they did not care. When I fired them they sent me another invoice for work I had completed and paid for months earlier. I feel like a fool for trusting them.

That should have been my first red flag. I was very clear that my concern about concrete was lack of drainage and water pooling but they assured me they would make sure the concrete would be slightly angled so it would follow a natural drainage. The second red flag should have been they asked me to pay them the remainder of the fee because they didn't have enough to pay for the concrete truck. The crew was extremely sloppy, clogged outdoor drain, pushed cement into garden bed, left scissors in my yard, dumped leftover concrete in between my stairs hoping I wouldn't notice, concreted my sewer lid shut and THE worse of all, I now have a concrete patio that pools every time it rains. We weren't able to check for quality control at the end of the job because it takes 24 hours for the cement to set. We reached out afterward and gave them a chance to make some things right but they ghosted us and won't respond to CCheck out the photos, a photo speaks a thousand words. Update - Apele still haven't responded and we will have to take them to small claims court. The concrete pad cracked in less than one month.

For other people in this thread, I found out that you can file a complaint with the state of california. They've stolen $10K from me and assuming I'm not the only one. https://bit.ly/2RRQynu --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ezekial and his team are nice guys but they are extremely unreliable. They appear to be ghosting a project and STEALING roughly $6000 from me. I have paid $10K towards a flagstone patio (completed quote: $7K) and a retaining wall (completed quote $4K). The outstanding balance is $1000 for the job to be complete, which it never will be. They told me the job would take 5-6 days. After 22 weekdays, 10 of which were no-shows no-calls, they left the site with their tools. Ezekial rarely answered text messages that were business critical. Every day they did show up, they were 2 to 4 hours later than scheduled. They never worked more than three hours in one day, with most days about 90 minutes. The flagstone patio, which is just the concrete pad with a few poorly laid pieces of flagstone on one part is far from complete. Let's say that $3k of the $7k is left to do. The retaining wall was never started, so that is $3000 (of $4000 that I've already paid) is also being stolen. If they return the money to me, then I can reconsidered my review, but breaching a contract is not just bad business but is also illegal. Fortunately for me, I have documentation from venmo, yelp, and text messages that show that they consistently missed deadlines. I'd rather not take them to small claims court, but they have stolen money from me. If they return the money, this review would be more about reliability which is less severe. I really want to support local small businesses, especially coming out of covid, but unreliable vendors who provide bad service and bad craftsmanship and no communication need to get their act together. This is especially goes for thieves. Unfortunately, they had 5 stars when I hired them.

There are many times "cheap is not better." For example, laser eye surgery, breast implants,…read morecorporate travel agency. But most importantly, anything done to your precious home. We contracted Paul and Acme Builders for my "Man-Cave" project, to tear down my closet, wire my room for all the fun a man can have: play music (walls are wired with input/output for any electronic instrument) through the PA system, or just headsets (ports on the walls), have a sporting event or even dance parties (disco ball, LCD laser projector, fog machine). These guys were professional, on time and on budget in transforming my room. How do you screen people (strangers) roam around in your house and trust them? Certainly not by signing up with the lowest bidder, although many times the lowest bidder may be Acme builders as they have integrity in pricing it as reasonable as possible. Anything cheaper than that, would mean cutting corners (cheaper material, shoddy construction practices, not-so-good laborers). Acme Builders can handle any project of any size/budget. If you need a reference, I am more than happy to put some senses into you about hiring Acme Builders.

There was another guy who was good, Aaron, who oversaw my biweekly mowing etc. In the past few years, I've had a couple issues. Mainly dying plants due to not being pruned correctly. I would call or email to correct the situation. The one plant species I told them not to touch were my roses. I didn't have faith in their work. Honestly, I should've let them go a year ago. I knew that. Aaron sold his business, and I thought I'd give them a try. Until today.... I came home to my beautiful, and very expensive, roses completely hacked. They were my favorite part of the yard, growing through the white picket fence with the most beautiful blooms. Not anymore. I watched our security cameras and the way they just completely did a hack job on them. My favorite part of my home is now ruined. Don't hire them for anything other than mowing a yard.

Price was reasonable vs the only 1 other bid I received; and Aaron seemed to know what needed to be done. They arrived the next morning and did the repair in a couple of hours. We additionally had some leaky valves I decided to see if he was able to replace - He replaced them that afternoon with higher quality valves. We did have 1 issue several days later with 1 of the new valves leaking. We never pressure tested them the day they were replaced due to the fresh glued joints. So this was first time stressing them. I reported the leak and he arrived the next day and addressed the issue (it was a faulty valve). All fixed and working perfectly. Aaron is awesome & very knowledgeable. They provide an excellent Warranty. And their pricing is very reasonable & competitive. I highly recommend this place for your Irrigation & Landscaping needs.
