Tom is an absolute Rockstar! We had a flood, and he was called by our management company to cut out the drywall and remediate the damaged areas. He came in on time every day as promised... and always had our best interest at heart. He cleaned up after himself very thoroughly. He was responsive! Even after he was done with work for the day and I would call him to ask him a question he always texted and called me back. If your considering to hire someone, take my word for it and hire him! read more

Tom is reliable and very knowledgeable, with many years of experience, and above all he has a great personality and cares.

Left coast restoration was a all around positive experience. Friendly and professional. I will definitely use them again for any unforseen events that happen and would highly recommend read more

I manage several rental properties. Tom Gore, the owner of Left Coast Restoration gave us a bid for a remodel of a duplex that was competitively priced and we verbally agreed to contract with him. Prior to signing the contract, I had a few simple questions, one of which was why his website was not working. They had only been listed on the BBB for three years and I was doing the research any normal person would. We had a cordial conversation but after asking a few basic questions, Tom said he no longer wanted to do business with us. I had already informed another contractor that I would not be using them. That contractor took another job upon hearing this. Tom would not give any specific reason why he elected not to move forward after initially agreeing to do so. He would not return my calls. It seems Tom and Left Coast Remodeling have something to hide and I would be careful doing business with them. read more

Tom was referred to me by my contractor who does work for my business. It was Sunday at 530AM when I called him. He sounded like he was awake and once I told him I had water ruining my brand new laminate floors just put in 3 weeks prior, he said Steve, I will see you in less than 30 minutes. He arrived in 20. His crew was not available that day and he worked for 6 hours, with me as helper, and we got all the damaged flooring up and gone, the drywall cut and everything being dried by 1pm. The next day his crew came to finish the demo part and recheck the moisture levels in the drywall and slab. Two days later after insurance approval they set to rebuild my home. It was done in under 2 weeks. We had a few days we were waiting on the insurance firm. Marty the flooring specialist was unreal. He did a great job as they all did! Kudos to Tom and Leftcoast Restoration!!! TY all. read more

Left coast was hired to do remediation work at my condo. We had a small fire happen in our garage, this is the area that sustained most of the damage, and the smoke/soot damaged the entire first and second story. Jim with left coast was the contractor whom came out to do all the construction work and plumbing. I believe he is a licensed plumber as well. The work done far exceeded the outcome we perceived initially. The garage was restored to an even better condition then it was originally. We had mold that started to grow due to the water damage sustained from our water heater - they had a licensed IH come and do an inspection as well as send samples off to a lab for classification. I am thrilled with the work completed and would recommend left coast to my family and friends for any remediation work needing to be done. I am confident they would do as good of a job as they did at my residence! I had no rebuild issues, no concerns, and all my questions were answered thoroughly. I highly recommend Jim and Tom! Thanks left coast for restoring my home and doing an exceptional job!!!! read more

Tom and his crew are amazing! I wouldn't trust anyone else for any type of work I need done on my home or my rental. Tom takes care of all the repairs at my rental unit. I let him know what needs to be done and he takes it from there. One phone call is all I have to make! He coordinates with my tenant and gets the job done. All I have to do is pay the bill, which by the way is much, much less than anyone else. The quality is excellent and best of all Tom is so easy to work with. read more

Trustworthy, thorough and extremely professional! Tom and Left Coast Coast Restoration greatly exceeded my expectations. Tom took an "ownership" mindset of my place and treated it like his own; very detail oriented and completely devoted to getting the customer 100% satisfied with the work. He worked tirelessly between the owners, renters, and different insurance companies to make sure everything went smoothly and was resolved quickly. I've already recommended them to one of my friends and highly recommend anyone who is need of these services to contact them before any other company!! read more

Well, what can I say. It does not get much better than this. We had a sudden flood in our house over Thanksgiving and Tom and his crew came right over and within 10 days had the drywall fixed , floor replaced, the house repainted, doors rehung, carpet installed and all that at a third of the cost of what ServPro wanted to charge for the same job. Honest guys, great work and fun to work with as well. I can not recommend them enough!! Carine, Carlsbad, CA! read more

Tom and his crew are great. At my mom's house in San Diego, they did everything from fixing a roof leak to landscaping work - and everything in between. I have also known Tom for a few years and I know him to be trustworthy and honest. The work was great and the price fair. I couldn't be happier. read more

They were better than expected. They gave me a great price and were recommended by a Realtor who had used them before. They were on time and worked into the evening when needed. I tore out a bathtub and replace with walk-in shower. There were a few glitches which they solved (moving water pipe) with no problem. It took a week and every day they cleaned up and at the end they cleaned everything so the place looked great. Even washed down the steps to garage which they used to bring up cut tile. They were alway available for phone calls and answered my questions prior to doing to job. Very good!!! read more

We hired Tom Gore and Left Coast Restoration to remodel our master bedroom bathroom and closet. The work was done so bad that it all has to be redone. I don't even know where to start. All of the dry wall work done in the bathroom as well as the closet is atrocious! It looks like a five year old did it and it has to all be redone. The new closets were installed wrong and the tracks are all scratched and look used. The frame work is uneven and also needs to be redone. The bathroom shower tiling was done wrong and the grout uneven and missing throughout as well as not being sealed. The shower door frame work is unspeakable and they put the brass 20 year old shower door back on that doesn't even match the brushed nickel hardware that we selected together. They installed a new wood linen closet and left huge gaps between the closet and wall on both sides and the top. They installed the lights that should hang above the mirror but they hang way below the frame of the mirror. They stained the mirror frame and only half done and got it all over the walls. They put back on the old mirror which is far to large for the new vanity with old hardware left on it. The new vanity granite counter is scratched and the holes they cut in our new wood vanity for the pipes looks like they used a nail file to do it and is unbelievable. They were to paint the bathroom and did not. They installed new windows and the drywall frame of the windows is so bad I can't even explain it. We are looking at another $8,000+ to fix his work which cost us $12,500+. I highly recommend not hiring Left Coast Restoration to do ANYTHING in your home or business. The work they perform is absolutely unacceptable. read more

If you are looking for a contractor who will walk off the job when confronted with errors in his work, then go to Tom. Also make sure that he provides you with a completed detailed and signed contract. Do not give him any progress payments. Beware!! read more

This review is a very hard review to write but is much needed. We hired Left Coast Restoration to install cabinets, tile backsplash and some painting as well as baseboards. I have referred them to clients in the past as well as they have done work for friends and family as well so we trusted it would be a great experience. Unfortunately it did not go well. The first mistakes were they did not assess the job properly and they estimated a much smaller work load and cost then it ended up. They started installing the tile floor and as I micromanaged the work they had to redo a huge section of the floor and it is still not that great. They should have done smaller grout lines as it was a wood look that we were trying to get. After the flooring mistakes they built us a chalkboard wall that was crooked and had to have them fix that. They referred us to a person to do our countertop, which was a huge disaster. We had picked out a beautiful expensive quartzite slab and not only did they install it with the soft top showing both parties made mistakes they had to redo the softop 3 times they had to pull the countertop off come back a week later and it is far from perfect still. We had no running water in the kitchen for atleast a month. Then when they finally got the counter top and the diswasher installed they installed the dishwasher wrong and it ended up leaking through our new floors new cabinets into the garage. If I was not there to have them properly dry it cut out the drywall replace it etc. They would have put a fan on the work and left it. The contractor never ever inspected any of the guys work, they had no accountability for any of the problems they caused. They never told us of extra costs over charged us the bill doubled and now I have painting contractors here fixing all of their mistakes. The paint work was a mess, runs everywhere the baseboards were all installed wrong painted horribly, they painted the doors and cabinets without sanding them down everything they did they had to do twice and now I am spending a huge amount of money fixing their sloppy work, such a huge bummer. read more
