    We did a full kitchen remodel in April 2026. Dan was our project manager and he did a great job organizing all the subcontractors and communicating the timeline with us. We started with a design meeting and we were able to see what the final design would look like. They took measurements and generated the design on the spot. The renderings matched the final product very, very closely. Throughout the process Dan would check in every day to ensure progress was happening at an acceptable pace. They even worked on one weekend to make sure we could meet our original cabinet delivery date (the city ran later than expected with when they could do their inspection, which put us behind). They worked around all our time constraints as well and were super flexible. From an original timeline of 8 weeks, we were actually able to finish in 5 weeks, even with a full rewire of added scope. This was only possible (I think) because Dan lined up all the subcontractors so well with no wasted days. There was someone working everyday, pretty much all day. I appreciated having input through the whole process, especially in picking all the finishes and appliances. We picked out our own finishes and Dan helped us to find savings where possible, which helped to keep the whole project (including add-ons) under the original estimates (without the additional scope like the rewire) we got from other companies. Overall, everyone was very timely, very open in their communication, and ensured everything came out to our satisfaction (even if it meant some additional work on their part).

    HQ did an amazing job with our new kitchen. From the design to the final touches, it was a pleasure to work with Eli and HQ team. We found HQ on Yelp and after meeting several companies we decided to hire them. Its out first remodeling project and HQ gave me the most confidence and were the most professional out of all the companies we met.

    I am happy to share my experience with HQR. After interviewing several local contractors I hired them to do some work in my home I recently purchased. Eli and his designer came up with great ideas for my garage, pantry, and living room. After a bit of back and forth we agreed on the price and from here they took care of everything. The job was done on time and exceeded my expectations. The communication was great and Eli made sure to supervise the work and keep me in the loop. There were several change orders which were priced reasonably. All in all I am very happy with the way HQR handled this project and I love the end result.

    We hired HQ to remodel our garage at our home in Costa Mesa, choosing them after meeting with several companies. What used to be a basic, unfinished garage is now a clean, modern, and highly functional space. The transformation is dramatic. The finished look feels bright, polished, and thoughtfully designed, nothing like the original structure we started with. Eli and Danilo managed the project, and both were great to work with. Communication throughout the entire process was very strong. We were always updated on progress, timelines, and next steps, which made the whole experience feel smooth and under control. One thing we really appreciated was how clear and detailed the contract was from the beginning. Everything was outlined properly, so there was very little ambiguity. As a result, there were no major surprises or unexpected costs along the way, which is something we were concerned about going into a project like this. The crew did a great job executing the work, and the attention to detail shows in the final result. The new flooring, lighting, and built-in storage completely changed the space and made it feel like a true extension of the home. Overall, HQ Remodeling & Design delivered exactly what they promised. The process was organized, communication was solid, and the end result speaks for itself. We would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a garage conversion or similar project.

    You can't see the attached walkway but this shows you how good their workmanship is.

    This is a great company. I had several bids and no one came close to what I wanted to spend until I met Emma from HQ remodeling. It was such a joy to work with Emma. Not only was the quote she gave me far less than their competitors, She helped us select exactly the right colors of the custom pavers and brought several out for us to look at. The job they did was awesome. The arrived exactly on time and even though I had about 50 tree roots underneath the cement, and though I did have to pay extra for their removal, They finished my giant driveway and the attached walkway in three days. I would definitely work with them again.

    HQ Remodeling completed an amazing job remodeling our kitchen, coffee bar, and vanity bathroom. The quality is impeccably beautiful and it exceeded our expectations! Roy, Eli, Armando, Felix, and Miguel all were amazing to work with a great deal of respectful and courteous communication. The value was so worth it for our desired outcomes. Roy was always there for me answering my questions. He surprised us with a professional cleaning team, EcoLuxe Cleaning, after the construction was completed and I am using their services on a regular basis now for they leave our home sparkling! Choosing HQ was the best choice!

    Before and after. Pavers and patio cover look great!!!

    Fast forward 3 months after all the rain has passed, some issues unfortunately came up. This is very unfortunate and I wish the review update had been on a more positive side. Drainage had been discussed originally but the subcontractor had said we could do without so there was originally no drainage. With the ample amount of rain this year, it was clear that drainage should have been installed. Because of all that, there was a lot of back and forth. To respond to " unseen cost ", yes the " unseen cost " was clearly in the contract but the job was done with the subcontractor's judgment without communication to the project manager nor to the property owners. At the end of the day, there were lots of headaches but the job was done and we are now content with our backyard. A lot of the issues could have been prevented if there had been more cohesiveness in terms of all who were supposed to be involved in the execution of the project.

    Driveway pavers
    Patty M.

    We had a landscaping project involving our front and backyard. We met with project manager Ben, who we liked a lot. He is the reason we decided to go with HQ. Once the project started, work went at a pretty good clip. Concrete was demolished, and pavers were installed in the driveway and out back. Fencing was added to the top of our brick wall, along with planters. Our old, rotting patio cover was removed, and a new one was installed. The only hiccup was that the patio cover leaked a little when it rained, but Ben worked with us on that until it was fixed to our satisfaction. We appreciate how communicative and conscientious Ben was. He answered our questions in a timely manner and made sure everything was done to our satisfaction. I totally recommend HQ for your general contracting needs.

    Tali and Lisa were always communicative, professional, and worked with us when we weren't happy or needed to adjust our budget. They stayed within the timeline when it was within their control. Text messaging was the main form of communication which I appreciated as it was more efficient. We absolutely LOVE our backyard and it is not your typical pool and landscape which HQ Remodel obliged even though it was somewhat unusual. Their foreman, Alejandro and his team do really good work. Everything they did - paint, walls, steps, turf were all done correctly and with care. The work they do is solid. Never had to redo anything they did. They were organized and had our payment schedule planned ahead of time and we received receipts for every payment, etc. We would use them again and ask for Tali and Lisa!

    Before
    Paul M.

    I have been a homeowner for over 45 years, and have never done a construction project that went perfectly and on time...until now. The people at HQ Remodeling and Design are amazingly responsive, especially Tal and Lisa. I communicated with Tal almost every day of this 3 week project to remodel our front yard. There was not a single time when she did not get back to me within minutes. And, the construction crew was on-time every day. They worked hard, even in extreme heat. The result was perfect - exactly what we hoped for. I can't believe I am writing this, but I'm actually going to miss them when the project s complete. It was such a stress-free, pleasurable experience. That's right - a stress-free construction project!

    Before. And this is good.
    Nick C.

    So- we needed help and Tal came to our rescue. With her ideas and Martin's execution we are so happy with how our project turned out. Did we pay a bit more? Probably. Was it worth it? Well- we had a super consultant and project manager, excellent communication every time, flexibility with idea changes and finally- HARD WORKERS... so yes. 100% worth every penny. We would use them again (if we had another project). The before pics are actually good pics. It was much worse than shown. We had demo and removal, install new pavers, irrigation, timers, lighting, and gravel. Plants were outsourced to another company.

    Before

    I wanted a low retaining wall to enclose my sloping front yard and hired HQ to do the wall. I feel they did an excellent job, Rapha was very professional and responsive, Lupe and his helpers did great work on the digging and construction, including waterproofing inside wall, stucco outside, and brick cap. After landscaping the front yard will be completely transformed.

    K J.

    HQ remodeling did an exemplary job with our backyard renovation project. I took 5 different bids and I decided to go with HQ after balancing what they had proposed with the price quote. I definitely had no regrets with this decision! Omer and Raffa were very responsive to my questions and the foreman Carlos' work quality went far beyond my expectations. The owner Eli also took this project very seriously and made sure that this amazing team performed quality work and finished it just in time for our backyard party that we had scheduled in advance. I highly recommend this business.

My wife and I have a new-build that required additional landscaping of our backyard. We eventually decided to go with California Outdoor Living after reading all their positive reviews on yelp. In addition their quote was very competitive if not the best when looking at other contractors. We already had a design in mind for JC which made the process very quick. Although there was some misunderstanding with the design and drains throughout the process, JC was always responsive with his texts and quick to make adjustments. The moment we got our design approved by our HOA, the construction happened VERY FAST. We emailed California Outdoor living on a Wednesday evening of our approval. The very next day (Thursday), JC arrived to go over the outline. I do appreciate how fast things were done, but it was almost to a fault at times. They were ready to go by the next day but my wife and I didn't feel like we had discussed the plan and execution thoroughly enough. On Friday the construction workers were already digging out our backyard. They spoke only Spanish so communication was very difficult to ensure if our plan was executed appropriately. By Saturday all of the pavers were laid out. Construction was incredibly fast but because of that some details were lost in translation. We discussed with JC that we wanted an 11x14 ft paver island. However the final dimensions was 12.5 x 12.5 feet. We also wanted all the walls of our backyard to be lined with turf. However the paver border ran too close to one of the walls, that putting turf did not make sense. They only left 1 inch between the wall and the paver (see attached image). We appreciate how fast the work was done. The overall work was great BUT not exactly what we wanted. We felt rushed with the whole construction process. However everything was done in less than a week which was incredible! In addition, once the turf was laid out JC noted that window reflections from both our neighbors and our own windows would cause damage to the turf. He informed us this can happen sometimes. Going back to rushing things and not being thorough, we wished JC took the time to look at our backyard and factor in this possibility. If we had known the reflections could damage this area we would have changed our turf design. At the end of the day they are just executing our design, but it's these minor things that left us feeling like our backyard could have been better. However we are still very thrilled with the overall speed and communication done throughout the process! Would still recommend this company. But these small critiques are definitely something to keep in mind for future clients.

The drainage tube was installed with the slope going the wrong direction, and the walls were not properly covered before the concrete was poured, leaving concrete splatter all over the side walls. The concrete also cracked less than three days after it was poured. It was poured on Monday morning, and on Wednesday the artificial turf guy was using a large plate compactor right next to the two-day-old concrete. I believe the vibration from that equipment contributed to the cracking. When I spoke with JC about the issue, he told me that concrete will crack sooner or later and that is why they do not warranty cracks. Concrete was poured directly on top of the soil, no gravel was brought first. While I understand that concrete can crack over time, I did not expect it to crack before I had even made my final payment. Despite my disappointment, I paid the remaining balance. After that, I never received any follow-up confirmation that the payment was received , or even a simple thank you.

Amosa priced the job fairly and was easy to deal with. Communication throughout the process was clear. The foreman on the job, Joe, was very friendly and easy to speak to. Joe let me know if his crew had any questions and confirmed if there was anything that needed to be clarified before proceeding. Furthermore, Amosa would text me periodic updates and let me know beforehand what the schedule was. We had a hiccup after the plumbers had capped off the outside gas line which shut off the water heater. I contacted Amosa to let him know that our hot water was not working and he was able to get the plumber to come to our house on a Sunday to fix the issue. This type of responsiveness and sense of urgency was appreciated (especially for a family with kids). The work was completed on time and the concrete is a welcome upgrade to the old uneven walkway that we had before. Amosa and Joe's team rerouted some electrical conduit, capped gas lines that were no longer being used and poured new concrete. I recommend AM Masonry & Concrete.
