I decided to have an additional room added on to my house. These guys did a rock star job! They helped me get the appropriate permits I needed to start construction. They gave me a window of times when they'd be here and always showed up on time. Something they did that didn't go unnoticed was the fact that they always kept their workspace clean and tidy. Much appreciated. For real.. They were very respectful of my home and that they were a guest in it and treated it as such. They checked in with me as they moved along, giving me time to look at their work and make corrections, if need be, throughout. They didn't cut corners and did it right the first time, which you have no idea how much I appreciate that! Very happy with their work and it turned out fantastic! Thank you so much! read more

This is a tough review to write. Not because of anything other than it's hard to put into words the dream come true we experienced working with Elite Living Construction. Two and a half years ago, my family of four moved into my childhood home to be closer with my parents and help when & where we could. They couldn't easily navigate stairs anymore and really only 'used' a smaller portion of their home. Our property is large enough to build an attached ADU, but it was a VERY complicated project. We interviewed about 23 contractors, of which, only about 15 said they could do the job. Only 8 ever gave us a bid, only 3 were in a reasonable price range... and Elite Living won the bid. We knew this would be a long road and were very transparent from the beginning about what was most important to us: communication, expertise, and a partner in this. We lived in the house during construction, but even before we could break ground, Elite was right alongside us (even while the city took 219 days to approve our plans...and yes, we know the cut off). Ashley was with us the entire time...from being at the city pulling permits to the final sign off and Avi was always available to help, check in, and celebrate passed inspections There were moments when it felt like the walls were closing in...like in Indiana Jones... because the attached ADU impacted the 'main house' kitchen (which they remodeled, too). We had a battle cry as a family ("For The Duration!!" We'd yell) and the Elite team with Abraham and crew were part of our family. They were on property from sun up to sun down... sometimes 6 days a week. They worked on holidays and then we'd cook a meal and all eat together. Abraham's team are some of the hardest workers we've ever seen and they were so kind! Always smiling, respectful, happy, singing, and great at problem-solving. They were building our dream homes so that we could be together as a family! They even signed their names on the studs and wrote blessings for us before drywall went up. Were there issues? Sure~ it's construction!! Would we have wanted anyone else on the job? Absolutely not. Elite Living created what we only dreamed of. They were our partners and we are so blessed that they also chose us to work for. Elite Living Construction is unique. We've done remodeling before. We know 'contractors'. Avi and his team are special. They have high standards and can achieve big dreams. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you Avi, Ashley, Abraham and team!! We love our homes. Ps. I completely understand the difficulty and anxiety involved with choosing a contractor. Happy to share more about our experience, if needed. read more

Elite Living Construction exceeded all expectations! Their team was professional, efficient, and extremely detail-oriented throughout the entire project. They kept me informed every step of the way and made sure everything was completed on time and within budget. The craftsmanship and quality of their work are top-notch -- you can tell they truly care about customer satisfaction. My home looks absolutely stunning thanks to them. I highly recommend Elite Living Construction to anyone seeking reliable, high-quality renovation services. read more

I would give 0 stars if possible. Where do I even begin.....Amir and Avi hired a variety of unskilled subcontractors to do work at our house over the span of 8 months. 90k later we ultimately had to re demo the entire house and start over. It started with the demolition. They improperly demoed the living room and spread asbestos all over the house. We then had to jump through hoops to get it professionally cleaned and properly removed to get clearance to proceed with work. After several months of waiting, we were cleared to continue. Then they moved on to the bathrooms. They charged us for re-piping and did not re-pipe. They charged us for new electrical and left open boxes and exposed wiring in the walls creating fire hazards. They re-tiled (2 separate times) only to finally realize afterwords nothing was waterproofed and sealed correctly. They over billed us for work that was never done. They said they needed a certain % of the job (which was fine) and then 1 week later would demand the remaining amount in order to finish....then they would NEVER finish!!!! Not only were we continually lied to, I was verbally attacked by Amir. One day during our window install Amir tried to intimidate me by screaming around and getting all up in my face. That was the last time I saw Amir. The next day I decided to look elsewhere for work. They still owe us reimbursement to this day but have ghosted us. We not only had to undo their work but also pay another contractor to do it twice. We contacted them on numerous occasions. Our new contractor has contacted them on numerous occasions. We have given them many chances to make things right and yet we are still owed more than $90,000 in bills including work we paid for that was never done. We had to undo and redo everything they touched. Steer clear of this company. We have lost many nights of sleep over working with them. read more

I finally called out one of the city inspectors. He said that the guys working on my house routinely "did not know what they were doing", "were so slow" and were "one of the worst [contractors] they have ever seen." Consistent with that, new AC installation failed the inspection. New HVAC ducts failed the HERS test. Tankless water heater vent not to code. And most recently the beginnings of an electrical fire in the main breaker panel. All due to the simplest mistakes, work clearly done by people who had no clue what they were doing. And nobody supervising who understands even the most basic code requirements. The electrician who fixed the issue in the breaker box, showing me the charred wiring, said it was one of the most basic errors any electrician could make and it was a textbook situation that, if not addressed, would have caused the entire panel to go up in flames. This is not a laughing matter. "Elite Living" shows a reckless disregard for my (and potentially other clients') lives. They should not be in this business. read more

We completed our whole-house renovation with Elite Living, and we had a great experience. Our project included remodeling the bathrooms, kitchen, installing a custom hood in the kitchen, extensive restructuring to change the layout, and exterior work. We are very pleased with our experience; the workers were skilled and handled the challenges of material shortages and delays during the COVID-19 pandemic admirably. It has been two years, and everything still looks fantastic! read more

I chose Elite because I was looking for help with Design and Ashley had ideas and solutions for my home remodel which included updates in nearly every room. Ashley was very pleasant to work with and was always there for me. My master bath was a complete redo and is now very serine with sea glass, bead board vanity and soaking tub! My kitchen now costal with navy/white cabinets and brass accents! I love it all. read more

Finally decided to redo our guest bath. (See before picture below). After meeting with 4 contractors and discussing my options, I chose Elite Living Construction because Avi, owner/contractor, was the only one to suggest I didn't need to move a wall to get the added space I wanted. He suggested downsizing the vanity which we ended up doing and I couldn't be happier. Abraham, the crew chief, was always on site. He answered all my questions and was very easy to work with. They cleaned up everyday which made a big difference in the feeling of being in a construction zone. And finally, pricing was VERY competitive and did not change from start of project to finish! I suggest you meet with Avi and hear what he has to say. I can highly recommend him! read more

Update-Yelp gets peoples attention. I received an email today with the estimate.

I hired Elite Living Remodeling (now Elite Living Construction) in 2019 to remodel my small kitchen. The process took an entire year. There were a lot of hiccups. They would not show up frequently and often rescheduled just to not show up again. To be fair, the work looks nice, but within a year 2 drawer fronts fell off. I called them to repair it and the same thing is happening. April 19, they took 2 drawers with them. On June 19, they took the front of another. All drawers were returned eventually but they were not able to reinstall them! It's taken 4 months and this simple project is still unfinished. This has wasted a lot of my time and given me a lot of grief. They promise a lot and greatly underdeliver. Still waiting.......... read more

We originally found Elite on yelp. There ratings were accurate and I'm adding one more to the collection of good reviews. From start to finish everything went as smoothly as we could've hoped. Our original price quote was accurate all the way through. No nickel and diming. No surprises. Ashley would answer questions calls or texts anytime and was incredible throughout the whole process. All the employees that came to the house were kind, courteous and respectful. Couldn't have imagined a smoother, more transparent, and easier experience. Worth every penny. No need to shop around! See pics below for before and afters. read more

CONSUMER BEWARE!!! I refuse to believe that the high reviews for this company are legitimate considering the horrible experience we had when we used them for our Kitchen Remodel. I've also, by chance, had the opportunity to speak to a few other customers who had a very similar experience. The words that I would use to accurately describe our experience with Elite Living and the people who manage the company are: Disconnected, Unorganized, Poor Communicators, "Good Enough Is" attitude, Heartless and Overpriced for all of the turmoil and stress we went through. They often tell you that workers are coming to do things at your home but they just don't show up and often show up much later than they say they will and the quality of their work is very low. I can honestly say that we've NEVER worked with ANY Remodeling company in the past that was so difficult in so many ways as this company. We were originally told our Project would take 4-6 weeks, but it actually took over 12 weeks because of their poor communication and sloppy workmanship. In their eyes, they aren't the problem. The customer is the problem. read more

After getting quotes for remodeling our bathroom (shower room), the most affordable price was from this team. They were on time and without any gap between upgraded two bathrooms in one month. Their goal is to make customers satisfied by end of the project. I'll work with them for any new projects. read more

Considering our goals of making an investment and providing a home for my family in the future, me and my husband settled on a full home remodeling project. Elite Living was a group of professionals who cared about their customers. They helped us every step of the way and gave us expert advice. In the end, after completing our kitchen and 3 bathroom renovation at our house, we got a beautiful, functional home that was even better than we had hoped. read more

Thank you to Ashley, Alex and crew for taking our kitchen from bad to fab! Our experience with Elite Living involved reasonable pricing, good communication and attention to detail at all phases of this process. This is our second project with Elite Living and would use them on the next one, for sure. read more

CONSUMER BEWARE!!! I refuse to believe that the high reviews for this company are legitimate considering the horrible experience we had when we used them for our Kitchen Remodel and what was disclosed to us from another customer. The words that I would use to accurately describe our experience with Elite Living and the people who manage the company are: Disconnected, Unorganized, Poor Communicators, "Good Enough Is" attitude, Heartless and Overpriced for all of the turmoil and stress we went through. They often tell you that workers are coming to do things at your home but they just don't show up and often show up much later than they say they will and the quality of their work is very low. I can honestly say that we've NEVER worked with ANY Remodeling company in the past that was so difficult in so many ways as this company. We were originally told our Project would take 4-6 weeks. We are now entering our 12th week of Remodel work and they have abandoned us on the few final things that need to be done. In their eyes, they aren't the problem, the customer is the problem! read more

Requested a simple consultation to review our interior design goals, and was told a few hours before our initial meeting that we would be assigned to someone else due to a schedule conflict. This was fine. We rescheduled the following day with Ashley. What wasn't acceptable was the fact that my wife and I waited for 30 minutes without any status of Ashley's delay. Ashley showed up to our front door, greeted us with a short hello and didn't apologize or bring up her tardiness. I mentioned that it would have been nice to be notified in advance of her delays (as we have other obligations). Her body language changed and said she wasn't comfortable continuing the consultation. Her inability to have an ounce of self-awareness to kindly communicate her belated arrival was a huge disappointment. I'm understanding to all situations, especially since life happens. However, if you don't show any compassion or make an effort to communicate to your potential customer, you don't deserve my business. I would avoid Ashley at all costs. read more

Ashley is the designers and Leedor is the project manager. We found them in the local showroom in Laguna Niguel. They do our kitchen and bathroom remodel for my place in Irvine. I love how communicable they were, and I love their 3D designs. They understand what we want and they help us choosing the best material, flooring, cabinets, countertops. I really appreciate it read more

I recently used this company to repair some water damage in my home. Martin and his team were really great. They went out of their way to make sure the job was done on time. The crew worked very hard and went the extra mile. This company cares about the customer and the quality of work. He was willing to work on a holiday so my project could be completed on time. I definitely recommend them. Thank you so very much! read more

Ashley came to our place and did measure our kitchen. She told us she would give us a quote in 3-4 days, it has been a month we haven't heard anything yet. Someone else called to ask how Ashley did, I told the person that we are still waiting for a quote and that was it. So I guess that was just a total waste of our time. maybe they didn't really like us to work on our kitchen ( I don't know why wouldn't they) read more

These guys did an outstanding job on my bathroom remodel! They installed a new bathtub, toilet and tile. Leo was very responsive and provided excellent customer service. I really appreciated his professionalism and the workmanship of his team. read more

This review is NOT addressing thier work. We never got that far. Nevertheless, I experienced what other people may have also. It can also be the difference between taking the time to meet with them. Initial interaction. Pleasant. Appt was quickly booked. Rep shows up an hour late. Apologetic. Quick walk through of the home to access work requested. A few ideas thrown around. Prior to ending the consultation I asked him 3 VERY specific questions I asked all contractors I met. #1 No rush, realistically how soon can you get me the bid? This would help me gauge if they follow through on their word. Honestly this industry had a bad reputation. #2 Again no rush be honest. Based on what I want how long would it take? #3 Not holding him to it. Give me a ballpark figure of what I might be expecting. I had told the rep that I was really surprised and disappointed on all of the bids I had gotten so far. I own 458 sq foot studio condo. All bids, including this company came in at 40k + FOR DEMOLITION ONLY!!! He said no way is this job worth 40k. Closer to 20k. This company came in the highest and with the least work requested. What a joke. What ended up happening was getting the quote a week and a half late after the promised date Bid came in the highest 42k for demolition & installation. I still had to pay for all supplies, appliances. My hallway & bathroo. cabinets would be painted over Only thing that was consistent was expected turn time to complete project. 3- 4 weeks. I get that everyone and their grandma is remodeling. Its the covid thing to do. They need to learn how to set correct expectations. It really is all about the consumers experience and perception of being valued. I guess my project wasn't big enough. A couple a times the rep mentioned that most of their jobs are in south O.C. **** Edit, the Representative Martin & the Owner Avid contacted me multiple times about this review. They shared a few concerns. Only person I spoke to was the owner. *was I sure I was talking about the correct company. I initially did not want to name the representative. As mentioned he was friendly. Not good follow through * why did it take me so long to put a review? Didnt realize there was a time limit. I was busy getting work done on my home * I was not 100% truthful in my post. I originally stated 48k when it was really 42k. My mistake. I have corrected this. *In my original post I stated that the quote was for demolition and installation. I forgot to add that they would be repainting my hallway closets. My bad * Did I understand how hurtful a 1 star review could be for them?? Since they never completed any work for me. The owner who I actually spoke to stated that it didnt seem correct that I submit a review without having given them a chance. Would I completely remove the review. No, I wont. For his followup and apology I adjusted from 1 star to 3 stars. Not everyone cares enough to rectify a bad situation. As I very curtly responded to the owner. I never said anything bad about your representative. Both people, including him have been very nice. He apologized multiple times. I am not the type of individual to just post negative reviews. Anyone can review my other opinions. As yelpers we count on each other to see if we are willing to take a chance on a company. The only reason I reached out to the group was due to the many, many, many awesome reviews. Could my experience be a one off. It happens. Could this company be the best contractors ever? Maybe. I wouldnt know. After a very disappointing experience I did find a company that did an amazing job. read more

Stay away from Elite Living. Why? Here is a synopsis of our kitchen remodel. Terribly installed tile, uneven spacing, cracked grout. Tile thinset from sloppy workers on our stainless range. After much discussion about relocating an electrical outlet to make way for a waterfall edge counter top and purchasing an expensive jumbo slab to have an extra piece of stone for a bathroom, on the day they installed the counter the workers cut a hole in our waterfall edge for the outlet. Nobody was there to supervise the crew. They used our extra piece of stone to replace it, promised us another piece and we never received it. The stone installers used our garage to cut stone while we weren't home and covered everything... absolutely everything in our garage including clean laundry with white dust. The paint they used to refinish our cabinets began cracking and chipping almost immediately after the renovation, they promised us touch up paint, we never received it. Holes for door handles drilled in the wrong place and covered with filler hoping we wouldn't notice. Final adjustments like loose hinges and crooked cabinet doors were never fixed despite promises from both Martin and Avi "we'll be back on xxxx" or "I'll let you know when we can get somebody out..." they never came back. Finish caulking was never done. Project manager Martin (friend of owner Avi) was unreliable, disappeared at times, full of excuses and full of $h!t. Avi the owner came to our home after many calls to complain and attempts get the work finished. He was appalled by the quality of the work and offered to make things right... he sent Martin again, who again disappeared. Now Avi won't answer our calls and we still haven't received anything promised to us including a large expensive piece of stone or our deposit for the permit and the city called to ask if we ever finished the project because the permit was never signed off. Shoddy work. Terrible communication. Unreliable. Untrustworthy Theses guys are clowns, stay away. read more

The Team took their time to understand my vision and provided valuable insights and suggestions along the way. As a result, they exceeded my expectations and transformed my space into a masterpiece.

Hi, the company really helped me. They offered me a bunch of good chairs for my kitchen. Thanks to a big choice, I was able to find one that that I personally liked and that fit the entire design of my place. All the staff members were nice and helpful to me. They made closing much easier and faster. So, if you are looking for some stuff for your house, it is definitely a place to look at. read more

I'll start by saying that we ended up using Elite living Construction for our remodel after searching for quite sometime. I was so impressed by their punctuality, attention to detail, and stellar reviews from other customers, that I felt compelled to offer a positive review. They showed up on time and took all the safety procedures due to COVID. We explained our vision for our House. They met and exceeded our expectations. read more

Needed to remodel and gave them a call, very friendly and they paid attention to my needs, with 3D designs, and local showrooms, I needed something's added I didn't like some stuff they changed it around for me, they did everything in the time frame that I wanted it to be done, I really enjoyed working with them and already told everyone about this place read more

I no longer take the personal recommendations of others. People can have wildly different definitions of "good" or "affordable", so I did my own research. After reviewing three review websites, sending emails to ten companies, and interviewing three companies, I went with Elite Living. I couldn't have been happier with the decision! Not only was Martin the most responsive on spec'ing the project, he introduced a structural engineer to get the process started. They also ended up being the most affordable. Once the project started, Abraham was the best contractor I've ever worked with. He was very informative, educated, and him and his crew were extremely professional. I would use Abraham again on every possible construction project I can, and trust him completely with my house. I HIGHLY recommend asking for him on your next structural construction project. These guys are my new contractors! read more

I could spend an entire day listing all of the headaches and mistakes caused on our remodel. I never write reviews, but my hopes is that I save people from wasting their energy on this team. We remodeled our home with Elite in 2020-2022 (what was quoted as a 6 month project went far longer...which would have been okay if it was done well). It was a nightmare - they installed our floorboards wrong, our new plumbing makes all sorts of weird noises, our electrical shorts all the time, our door frames and doors are crooked and hang wrong...at one point they even tried to install our sliding doors upside down (no joke my husband saw what they were doing and stopped them). When they poured foundation, they forgot to put a hole for the sink drain...had to then drill into new foundation. We had to re-insulate our house after they did all new insulation. They also pinched our AC channel, so air doesn't blow into the main room anymore. Truly, the list goes on and on and on....the worst part was working with the owner. He's incredibly arrogant, and clearly doesn't care about his employees or customers. Don't waste your time with them, please. They will cut corners to save a buck - especially on the things you don't see. read more

We are extremely happy with Elite Living Construction. From the day we called them for an estimate to do our second bathroom remodel, to the last day they were here finishing touches, they were always very professional, on time, answering questions and guiding us every step of the process. Leedor was super helpful handling permits, calls (when we had to reorder a vanity :O), communicating details to the crew, and overall giving us a peace of mind that he was in charge and everything would turn out great (which we really appreciated in times of COVID, with us working from home). William was the crew's chief and did an excellent, very detailed. He was easy to talk to, ready to answer and guide us (super helpful for homeowners that new nothing about plumbing, or remodels). The tile work is exquisite and the bathroom turned out just the way we imagined it. We will call them again for the next project for sure. read more

My wife and I are very happy with the amazing design, engineering, and city approval we received from the Elite Living team. Ashleigh helped us come up with a beautiful design, and went through the entire process with us. From design to approval. They were very responsive to all of our questions. Professional, and punctual. Thank your Elite Living! read more

They were able to give me a really fast response in their consultation. In addition, I was able to helped by Ashley and Leedor in discussing everything I wanted for remodeling my kitchen. I gave them a gist of my idea, and they helped create the bigger picture for me. Due to COVID19, I was a bit worried having people over and potentially getting myself sick, but they were able to follow safety procedures to prevent any harm. In addition, I found their prices reasonable compared to their competitors, which was one of the main reasons I booked with them. read more
