Can't be thankful enough that these guys came to my rescue. Long story short, I had to have my patio torn down and stairs installed as it was not up to code and inspection was going to happen in 2 weeks to verify this was done. One of my family-friend contractors was unresponsive despite coming by to do an inspection. So, I had to branch out and get a third party contractor to do this job which had been stressing me out as it was my first time attempting to get contract work done on my own. EcoStar came to my rescue, specifically John and his peer Michael. They came by literally the next day after we spoke on the phone, scoped out the work that needed to be done, gave me a quote, and, by literally the day after. the patio was torn down and some nice new wood stairs were installed. All within a matter of 2-3 days. That being said I do have some minor gripes. Major one being the price for the work that was done. Now I was quoted $4200 for this job: tearing down of the patio, installing new redwood stairs, and repaneling the underside of the home where the patio used to be. I would say this is definitely on the pricier side for what was done. Not to say the job was bad, far from it, but to not even add some railing to the steps for safety measures, maybe clean the cement to make it look nicer, and/or paint the steps to make them blend into the house would be great. For reference, other contractors quoted me around $3000 or more for this work while offering me some other higher quality options for the stairs. That is just my personal experience however. This company very much believes in building a relationship with the customer and scamming their customer is probably the last thing on their mind. 4/5 for EcoStar, can't go wrong with these guys and I would definitely consider them in the future for landscaping ideas. read more

Mike from Ecostar was a total pro. I have been trying to get a project done for over six months and was being mislead or refused because the job was too small for the other companies I was speaking with. Mike came in, and established trust quickly. The job was exactly what he said it would be and the gentlemen he brought in to do the work were pleasant and efficient. I will definitely be calling Ecostar first for any future projects on my home. read more

From the onset, EcoStar was attentive and very professional. I asked for estimates for both my front stairwell and back deck. I must admit, they weren't the cheapest, but I'm glad I hired them. They rebuilt my back deck utilizing PVC decking and it looks great! The rebuilt my front porch as well, making it safer and it looks much better. Their attentiveness and timeliness was appreciated! read more

We hired Eco Star Remodeling to install a wet bar in our home and we are pleased and happy with result. As project manager, Eli Rosen was our primary contact. As questions and/or concerns arose, I found Eli always accessible and good about following up. When the unexpected (yet inevitable) minor hiccups did occur, Eli and his team responded promptly and efficiently resolved them to my satisfaction. In general, my experience with Eco Star Remodeling (and Eli and his team in particular) was very positive. read more

Long overdue review but just want to say Johnny Israeli is a damn good project manager. Ecostar, pay this man now!!! Accountability, Ownership and Responsibility is what was defined when these guys did work for my neighbor and I. With this company being new and not having that many reviews i will share my experience for fellow yelpers. A month ago my neighbor (Hi Karen) had hired these guys to do some work for her house. After completion of her project, I was presented with an opportunity to redo the fence which my neighbor and I share. Our fence was really old, was leaning on it's last limb, and it was that time for it to have it redone. Johnny had approached me and had given an idea of how the fence will look like along with a ballpark price. I can visually picture the look of the fence in my head but without an actual picture nor sketch it was hard for me to determine how it will look. I had also mentioned my requests as well which Johnny had also noted along with my share of the price. When it came close to having the project started, the estimate was a bit higher than what was stated but due to inflation which we cannot control the price of wood i decided to proceed with my share on the project. There was lots of paperwork that needed to be signed (yes these guys are legit) prior to getting the job started. Prior to the demolition, Johnny had started a group chat along with my neighbor and I for documentation and communication. When it came to building the fence there was a hiccup and some eyebrows were raised from my neighbor and i when the contractors started the frame work and the lining of the boards. My neighbor had brought it up to Johnny. Johnny took ownership and assured us that it will be fixed. He definitely delivered on this one. At the end of the day, the fence looks nice, added a curb appeal to my neighbor and i's yard, and was worth it in my opinion. Not only did they build a 7 ft tall fence but they also stained it as well which is a definite plus. They did not leave it untreated. Now for yelpers that decide to go with this company, they are good, but whoever is the project manager for your build, ask several questions, be descriptive, tell them what you are wanting, and show examples. Not everyone has an eye for detail, or you can always request for Johnny who gets it done the right way. read more

Ben and the entire EcoStar team did a fabulous job with several remodeling projects at our house. We started with 2 full bathroom remodels; Ben walked us through the entire project from start to finish, laying out a clear budget and timeline, and helping us with design ideas. He was available to us throughout the project, stopping by several days/week to check on the progress of the team and make sure we were satisfied with the work. The team was professional, super respectful of us while we were working at home, and kept things neat and tidy. We were so pleased with the outcome (and the price) that we identified a few additional projects, replacing some windows, building out a wall, and stairway renovation. Again, Ben and the team continued their stellar work. I highly recommend Ben and EcoStar if you're considering some home remodeling projects. read more

Did not get work done, just requested a quote. Although they did not show up, they did text and called to let me know that they could not make the schedule estimate appointment. Very professional read more

Not sure if I manifested remodeling or it was destiny that EcoStar appear right in front door when I was leaving my house. We needed some home improvement and they delivered. I am so happy with the results and just in time before my first born pops out. Dan and Eli are very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I told them my concerns and issues I have with my home and they did absolutely amazing job to address those problems. They made sure that I was comfortable and always inform me with the whole process. They also discovered mold in my house that is dangerous for my family. Now my home is safe and I can focus on baby. I am so grateful for them. Thank you Dan and Eli! Let's get dinner and play chess again! read more

An absolute pleasure working with Omri! Remodels can be intimidating especially for a first time home buyer. Throughout the entire process, Omri was transparent, responsive, and demonstrated immense technical knowledge for my untraditional loft's remodel. I felt confident throughout the entire process. The team was meticulous and was precise throughout the process, and was careful to gain my buy-in and approval for major decisions. I have to acknowledge the incredible solutions Omri provided for the bathroom: taking pipes that were initially covered up by plywood, and embedding them into the wall opened up the bathroom walkway space. Additionally, we expanded the bathroom to occupy non-functional closet space to make room for a washer/dryer tower space that's out of sight. On top of this Omri has an incredible eye for design. Not only was the work functional given the difficult constraints, but it was also aesthetically beautiful and true to my personality. Will be sharing pictures in this review once I have moved in! I will be working with Omri and this firm in the future for my kitchen remodel! read more

Terrible! If you don't care about your property, go for it and work with them. They even used my material that is for indoor and put it up in the roof to finish..... I DON'T KNOW how many of you had this and hidden from their job. And they lie and of course, they are EXPENSIVE like double from others. read more

Very spammy company. I submitted a quote request on Yelp a few months back for some work on my home and EcoStar was recommended by Yelp as an additional company to get quotes from. I figured that it would be no harm. Since then EcoStar had called repeatedly even though I tell them each time that I am not interested and to stop calling. Today I got called twice by two different people. I would recommend not giving them your phone number. read more

Ecostar replaced my roof. The whole project was completed quickly in less than 2 weeks before the winter storms begin to roll in. They worked quickly and flew through every stage of the project (roof demo, redeck, and shingle the roof). What's great about their work is that their roof quote + permit fees is the max that I paid for the project. They handled all the small things like replacing rotten wood and 3 layers of shingles. I recommend their work if you're looking for quality work with a fast completion time. read more

I engaged with Dan for a quote and he ended up PM'g the tiny project I had to reset some pavers around the boarder in the back patio and power wash the entire space. I didn't have him do more, as I still wanted to say "I did some of the work," but his team did the heavy lifting. He made me feel like I had a major project. His team squeezed me in between tasks of a large project near by and was also able to accommodate an unexpected schedule change for us. The back looks great and I'm ready to start entertaining again! Total duration -- roughly 3 weeks from inquiry to completion. Time on site -- roughly 2-3 person days broken up. Total Cost -- ~$3500 read more

Eli was amazing to work with. Knowledgeable, flexible and responsive, he made the project go smoothly after talking to 3 other companies. The price was fair and the service requested was completed professionally. Service was great. I'll definitely be using him again! read more

I was looking for someone to paint my house. In my search, I also needed my roof done. I chose EcoStar they had a lower price, and I really connected with my project manager, Matt. He was awesome as a manager he kept me updated with everything going on and sent me photos of the work as it progressed. We went shopping together for paint. He made the process fun. They did what they said they were going to do in the scope of work. If I had any concerns, Matt would come right over and address them to put my mind at ease. I have a lovely new roof and beautifully painted house that I have received multiple compliments on. read more

Leaving a one star since I can't leave zero. I set up an appointment with these guys for 10-11 today, confirmed days ago, they call me again this morning to confirm once more and when I do confirm they tell me there is no guarantee that they can get someone out there by 11. I had taken time off work to meet with them and waiting at the property for nobody to show up. When they called me around 11, they told me "our meeting before you is going well, so we don't know what time we will be able to get to you." This is completely unprofessional, what does "it's going well" even mean or have to do with my already scheduled appointment? This isn't a dating gameshow. The girls that answered the phone were totally useless and unable to give me any helpful information. Skip these guys at all cost they were extremely unprofessional and will just give you a run around and waste your time. read more

This remodeling company did a fantastic job on my bathroom remodel. They worked diligently and kept me informed throughout the process. I'm thrilled with the outcome! read more

They were unprofessional in many ways, one was not being upfront with the extra costs for changes. Another time, the worker and sales rep. taking 2 weeks off and not telling us. Not willing to come on a Saturday to pick up worker food trash after animals spewed it all over the driveway. The sales person was pushy and aggressive and couldn't understand our goals and objectives. We have remodel four bathroom, a kitchen and part house foundation redone. Never had a problem with a contractor before. read more

Had Jacob and his crew working on our plumbing in the house, met with few contractors and decided to go with Jacob and ecostar, his energy and communication levels were above expectation, project took 2 weeks as promised And they cleaned everything after them at the end of every working day, Would definitely recommend them to everyone asking . Thank you Jacob and ecostar Remodeling. read more

Kitchen remodeling can be a nightmare if not planned right. Thank goodness Daniel came over not just to pitch for the contract but answered all my doubts and gave me reassurance to guide me every step of the way. Of course we had some hiccups along the way but at the end of the day, every hurdle we pass through would make sense as we approach the final inspection. Pictures might not do justice but the before and after will show how dramatic this remodel outcome came about from its humbling start. read more

I was having fluorescent bulbs changed to LED hardwired as well as installing dimmer switches and an outlet in the garage and some grout work. The team that came to do the work was excellent. A pleasure to have in the home I would definitely have them back. I would definitely give them five stars. read more

Oh! Where do I even start? well I was looking to remode my backyard and first I met a couple contractors that just didn't fully understand my needs, and then came Daniel ! he was so pleasant and professional and had such great ideas! i wanted to do some pavers and some turf but he had better ideas and he redesigned my entire back yard ! definitely recommend him to everyone I know! thank you Daniel and Eco-star team for everything you've done for me! read more

Thank you EcoStar, for turning one of worst looking houses on the block into the prettiest house on the block (its a show stopper). Now the exterior matches the interior! A special thank you to Matt, Alex, Carlos, and Mario, whose worked so hard to get the project completed on time. If you are looking for a company that cares about the customer than go with EcoStar. But have a budget in mind and stick with it and you will for sure be pleased with the outcome. read more

I interviewed this company when trying to find painters and, quite frankly, was shocked to find myself in a situation that could have gone viral if I had recorded it. One of the funniest moments was when their representative told me that I could get the best price possible if I would sign a contract that day. He knew I had other companies lined up to interview beside Ecostar. When I called to schedule a time for my home to be looked at so an estimate would be possible I was told they needed both spouses so we could receive 25% off of the total price, only available if both of us could meet. That sounds really odd for a mere estimate on a paint job. In addition, the company representative told me there was more wood rot than actually was on my house. The quote I ended up getting was significantly more than the other companies I interviewed. Unfortunately, this is only the tip of the iceberg I am sharing of the underhanded tactics that were thrown my way. This is a large company. Perhaps there are only a few bad actors. Still, I would be wary. read more

EcoStar did a fabulous job remodeling our kitchen. They were very professional and the construction team was very skilled. The work was completed to our satisfaction and on schedule. The project managers, Foster and Mila were wonderful to work with. They were very responsive and kept the project on track. The construction lead, David, was excellent. He made sure everything was done to our expectations. He made fast friends with our two labs, which was fantastic. Not having to lock the dogs outside or in a bedroom while they were here made us all very happy. read more

I am delighted to recommend EcoStar and Eli Rosen, their representative for both exterior and full interior paint jobs. They are meticulous in their work, they accomplish a lot every day and then do a wonderful clean-up before cleaning. They come on time and work hard. They are flexible with adjustments or changes. read more

Horrible. I wanted popcorn ceiling removed in 2 rooms, new kitchen counter, recessed lighting, replace marble floor in kitchen and replace with hardwood flooring to match living room. I had to get the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) involved to make EcoStar honor the contract. If you use EcoStar be sure to take plenty of pictures before, during, and after project is complete. They painted a room that was not supposed to be painted and had to repaint. They scratched up my beautiful hardwood floor in the process. There's so much more to report about their unprofessionalism. They talked a good game in the beginning. The project manager was too busy in the morning looking at his watch so he could hurry to other job sites that he didn't respond to my concerns properly. The experience was literally a nightmare. read more

We have a unique tandem-style garage. The back half had originally been an outdoor patio with a corrogated aluminum and fiberglass roof. A prior owner had merged this patio with the single garage to make it all one enclosed space. Over time this roof was in terrible shape. We wanted this to be a safe and dry space so that we could store things without them getting saturated. Matt, our project manage explained that the back structure would need to be strengthed to accommodate a solid water-proof roof. A major undertaking. All the crew members on this project were polite, friendly and professional. Work was done efficiently and was completed ahead of schedule! We're greatful that Matt clearly explain what needed to be done and what it would cost. I happily recommend EcoStar. read more

I contacted Ecostar because of their positive reviews, and I'm glad I did. From the beginning the project manager, Nick was very accommodating throughout the whole project of replacing old siding which had dry rot and mold. Nick made sure that the project was always going according to plan and went above and beyond on the removal of the mold. If I had questions, Nick was always available. The crew was always on time and professional. I have to give a shout out to the painters who did an excellent job on the siding and a small job inside. I hope I don't need any more repairs, etc. but if I do, I will definitely call Eco Star and Nick. read more

My experience with Eco Star was amazing! My project manager, Or was fantastic in managing my project with the installation of my roof. The team hired, worked with compassion, respect and they were diligent in getting the job done in a timely manner. I am very pleased with the work and pleased with the service I received from Or, who made sure things were moving as smooth and proficient as possible. I appreciate the professionalism I received from Or. you highly recommend using EcoStar for any remodeling you would like to do. They will take good care of you!! read more

We hired EcoStar to demo the concrete in our backyard and to install drainage to prevent flooding we had experienced during rainy seasons. The project also included tearing up our front and back lawns and replacing it with drought resistant landscape. Tallia and her team were very attentive, professional and efficient. We are very satisfied with the work and highly recommend their services. read more

Pleased with the work I had done and with my project manager John. I had 2 sections of siding replaced due to warping and cracking. The work was done very fast (which was a concern since it should start raining soon) and the results look very good. They completely cleaned up after the job and took care of a few extra concerns I had that we not part of the original quote. The price was very fair and the communication from John was very timely and complete. I will be calling EcoStar again for more house projects. read more

They did a really nice job with the roof. They completed the roof in about a day and a half. I was approved for the loan pretty quick as well. The guy told me the roof was 20,000 with no interest.The finance company says otherwise, they want 12%. That's damn near 47,000 for a roof. I also have mold in my bathroom, I told them and was charged $640 for a 5 minute mold test (just for them to look at it). I know I have mold, I didn't need to pay $640 for them to tell me that. I thought they were going to come in and spray some stuff in the wall to get rid of the mold for $640. It was clearly a miscommunication and he knew that, asshole. Oh yea and the $640 is separate and nonrefundable, he told me that was for city fees and permit fees, thats bs. He basically just took my money. Then they have the nerve to keep calling asking me how the service is, fuck you. I might feel a little better if they send me $640 back but I'm going to leave it in God's hands. He can handle it better than me. Fuck Ecostar and Matt Shalom, I would give 0 stars if I could, I should've did more research now I'm stuck with this high ass loan, thanks for putting me in more debt. Thanks for nothing and please don't call me unless you have a check for me. read more

Jonnie is incredible to work with - he is super responsive and a great communicator which is so much more than most contractors I've worked with. He's also very fast at initiating the work and offers to handle the complete job from permits through to completion. He and his team are super dedicated to making the results great too. It's clear he and his team take pride in their work. If you've ever worked with contractors in the Bay Area, you know how hard and time-consuming it can be to find someone who commits to doing the work well. Call EcoStar and ask for Jonnie! read more

not honor themselves ,their company snd and let their reputation, i guess they will leave me no choice but to sue them...i didnt pay approximately $18,000 for a roof that lasts less than 1 rainy season .time will tell!! if they will be a stand up company or not, may have no other resource than to sue. not onlt is my roof leaking ,i now have inside water damage in my brand new bathroom that needs to be eliminated in the meantime i highly reccommend buyer beware!!! if i had it to do all over again i'd not use them. sales team was awesom!! i had originally gave 5 stars, had to adjust after this neverending nightmare . read more
