I recently completed a full renovation of my row house with Fairmont Developers, and I couldn't be…read morehappier with the results. "Quality, schedule, and price: pick two," is the classic saying. Instead our project was completed ahead of schedule, just under budget, and the quality of the work was excellent. And that includes an expanded project scope that came up when we discovered large issues with a neighboring property. Fairmont was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. They were always willing to listen to our ideas and make changes as needed. They were also very responsive to my questions and concerns. Fairmont's foreman or a partner subcontractor was on-site on average more than five days a week for the entire many-month project. This allowed them to keep a close eye on the work and make sure that everything was done to the highest standards, and if not the first time, they made sure it was redone. Unlike several neighboring projects, we had no stop work orders, no neighbor complaints (complements actually), and all our inspections were successful. I would highly recommend Fairmont to anyone looking for a home builder or doing a major urban renovation. They are professional, reliable, and they do great work.

It is just about a year since Fairmont completed my whole house renovation. This home, with the…read moreexception of new appliance now and then, was in original 1911 condition when I called Fairmont. This could make a project easier - assume everything has to go. However, I am an old house lover (now a three-time renovator) and keeping or reinventing old house detail was important. Carlos manages construction, the tradesmen, the sub-contractors, and the overall quality of the workmanship on the job. He is an experienced builder, taking pride in bringing ideas to life but careful to offer full disclosure on the pros, cons and risks of each option. Jose manages the business side of the project - budgeting and billing, tracking and documenting changes, purchase of materials, recommending vendors for kitchen design, tiles, stone, flooring etc. Most important was his management of communications between Fairmont and me, the homeowner. Jose took time to ask questions and listen carefully to answers. I know and appreciate how rare it is to have good communication. I also have lived the consequences of mediocre communication. Mistakes are costly. Jose follows a protocol of asking, clarifying, and following up with an email restating our discussion and inviting me to comment, add, or correct. The answers don't matter as much as the asking and listening. This worked so well there were no horror stories. To summarize: Strong management of the permitting process, of sub-contractors, deliveries, security of the property and use of appropriate safety measures. I think its important to say also that the project was managed ethically, honestly and respectfully. Everyone on the job was pleasant and upbeat. Weekly walk-thru meetings insuring the work was proceeding according to agreement. Efficient cascade of information, decisions and/or changes, from homeowner and Fairmont to the tradesmen and subcontractors. A solid team of workers - excellent workmanship, site management and daily clean-up. Also, no profanity or loudness, no littering, no complaints from neighbors, and very happily, no accidents. Lastly, Fairmont checks in with you periodically during the year following move-in. Together we created a list of little adjustments and changes that you can't anticipate until you move in. All done! The house is lovely - beautiful carpentry, millwork and all the details that make it livable for me. I feel very fortunate to have done this work with Fairmont and I would recommend them without reservation!

The painting was not to a professional level, the drywall finish is not even. The refinishing of the wood floors was done with a single layer of stain without a proper second coat and sealer.

It was clear he did nit care about having a job done he could be proud of.

I've had a wonderful experience with Home-X Remodeling. Most of my communication has been with…read moreCisco and Andres, who are always professional, responsive, and helpful. Andres regularly comes by to check the work and ensure everything meets the highest quality standards, which I truly appreciate. When KraftMaid kept sending cabinetry parts that didn't fit my sink, Cisco, Andres, and the team didn't give up. They came up with the best solution, made the necessary adjustments, and made everything work seamlessly. Their professionalism, problem-solving, and dedication really stand out. They'll also be working on my backsplash and finishing the cabinets next week, and I'll be adding more photos then. For now, I just want to thank Cisco, Andres, and the entire Home-X team for their hard work, integrity, and commitment to getting the job done right. I'm looking forward to the final result, and I'm confident it will be amazing.

Mr. Stuardo said we have to wait for countertop installation which takes 3-4 weeks so they can come and finish the remaining 3 wall cabinets, he did not let me finish and hung up on me. Am I to deal with the mess around my condo since everything is in boxes all around the place for 3-4 weeks just to get the 3 remaining wall cabinets to be installed? I do not understand why wall cabinets have to do anything with countertop for floor cabinets. I know countertop takes 3-4 weeks to be measured and fabricated but Mr. Stuardo said we have to wait till the countertop to be installed meaning I have to wait another 4 weeks then he did not let me talk and hung up on me. Again, I told him and his boss Mr. Franciso the countertop installation has nothing to do with wall cabinet. I am very upset Mr. Franciso said talk to Lowe's since we are contracted with them. The Home X Remodeling crew are very disrespectful and rude. DO NOT work with these people as they are not on time, they do not care for customers. They created very bad experience and frustration for us. If you are thinking about working with Home X Remodeling, think twice before you hire them. Also I will let Lowe's know what company they are contracting with since Lowe's reputation is on line and important as well. Never recommend Home X remodeling anybody.

We absolutely love the work they did and have recommended them to many family and friends. From the initial assessment, Javier was open, honest, and easy to work with to ensure we were happy with the end product and stayed within our budget. I had a general vision for the main floor and they executed it flawlessly and added a few key items that we now don't think we can live without. The staff was professional, exceptionally skilled, and completed the work timely. We are very grateful that we found them and will call on them for any future project. Highly recommend!

It has become the best room in our entire house, and if given the chance, I would have them redo the entire house without hesitation. Javier, in particular, was a pleasure to work with - he is incredibly patient and understanding. It took us two years to finally be able to afford finishing our basement, and throughout that time, Javier was always there to answer any questions I had. When we were ready to proceed, he still had the plans he had created two years earlier. The entire team at remodel America was fantastic. They went above and beyond by even installing lights and ceiling fans in other rooms of my house while they were working on the basement. I am extremely satisfied with the work done by remodel America and will definitely turn to them for any future home improvements. I am excited about the sunroom project that Javier designed, and I hope to have that completed soon as well.

Such a great team!

I have perfectly installed porcelain tile and hardwood floors, repaired walls, and a new cabinet. Amazingly, they were able to match my existing hardwood with the new hardwood, and there's absolutely no difference - it's as if all of the hardwood was originally installed at the same time rather than being installed years apart from each other! The new kitchen cabinet was also selected and installed, and matches with the cabinets that were already in place. I was also impressed that they do not take any shortcuts, and quality seems to be a top priority for them. Even though my project was small compared to many large renovation or repair projects, I never once felt that I was any less important as a customer. I also appreciated that they were upfront and transparent about any issues that arose during the repairs, and they made sure to stay in contact with me and offered helpful suggestions for overcoming any repair barriers. The Zelaya team remained professional, courteous, and transparent, and completed the repairs on time and on budget. They truly are a company that is committed to customer service and ensuring that everyone is happy with the end result. I would not hesitate to hire them again the next time I am in need of repairs or renovations.

Having had less-than-great experiences with contractors in the past, we were especially appreciative that FGS proved to be a true exception. Every aspect of the job was handled professionally and with careful attention to detail. Fredy, our initial contact, listened thoughtfully to our needs, developed a clear plan of action, and guided us through decisions as unexpected issues arose. Tammy, in the office, served as our main point of contact and patiently answered our many questions before, during, and after the project. She truly "held our hand" throughout the process in a friendly, reassuring way. A special shout-out goes to Luis, who did the actual work. There seemed to be nothing he couldn't do, and everything he touched--from plumbing and tile to drywall repair and electrical--was completed with exceptional craftsmanship. He also offered practical, experience-based suggestions along the way. We genuinely enjoyed working with him each day and were consistently impressed by his perfectionism, skill, knowledge, and commitment to getting things right. We highly recommend FGS Construction for anyone considering their next project.
