We are extremely pleased with the work that he and his team did. We designed and bought materials ourselves using Home Depot's design service, but he made many recommendations along the way and made his own trips to pick up supplies that we forgot to get. He has high integrity - when I pointed out that the tile in the bathroom that he had installed was a slightly different shade than then one we had agreed on (beige instead of brown), he unprompted, and without extra cost, had his team immediately spend an extra day ripping up the tile and replacing it. On the overall project, his team repaired and painted everything to perfection such that there were no outstanding punch list items at the end of the project! He was always more than willing to spend time communicating with us - he explained his rationale for everything he did and was patient my very novice questioning. We worked with him nearly weekly over the course of 6 months (the length was due to DC's permitting process, not his team's speed - once we got our permits the work went very quickly) and feel like we got to know him as more than just a contractor but as a friend too. I'm happy to be a reference and speak more with you about working with him and his team; he was more than willing to give me references before we started with him ourselves. If you're interested in contacting me for a reference, send him the link to this review/photos and he'll put us in touch.

I hired City Renovations & Remodeling for a bathroom remodel last summer 2020. Michael Wiggs,…read moreowner/project manager, was assigned to my project and he was/is extremely unprofessional, nothing was on time, disrespectful behavior towards myself during disagreements and provided horrible customer service throughout the entire project. I would not highly recommend working with him and in fact if you've already received services from him please seek legal counsel. The contract I signed stated that this business is LICENSED, BONDED and INSURED in DC, which it is not. The license provided on my contract expired in 2006 per DCRA website. This inaccurate information is fraud. Michael Wiggs consistently reneged on many of the contract terms which were previously negotiated at the time I signed the contract. My contract was signed May 15,2020. The contract stated the projected start date was June 22, 2020. Work did not begin until August 10th and a new contract was not created. In addition, the contract's projected duration of the project was 2 weeks, weather permitting. My project was not completed until November 11th (4 months for a small bathroom remodel). In my opinion this was due to Mr. Wiggs poor project management. The first 6 weeks of the project I was out of my Condo because this is my only bathroom and the financial hardships placed on me at a time when COVID-19 was shutting down the DC area put a ton of stress on me. I was paying for living arrangements I could not utilize and I did not budget to be gone for the amount of time I had to be. I never received any compensation for this failure of Michael Wiggs to maintain the project timeline. When I returned to my unit I only had a toilet. There was no vanity, sink, or shower installed. One of my allotments was pocketed without a service or product being given. The contract mapped out 6 disbursements of money. However, once the project was almost half way through I was told by my contractor they could only withdraw 2 times from my loan and we needed to withdraw asap before my money was gone. Lastly, in the contract under "items not included" permit cost was stated, but within my line items permit was listed at a cost of $0. I eventually had to have DCRA close out my permits because he refused to close them out. There was always consistent miscommunication and lack of accountability from Michael Wiggs business, every issue was met with contempt instead of trying to find a solution. After all of this occurred, Michael Wiggs attempted to bully me by having a lawyer, Perry L. Foreman Jr., reach out to me to settle in the amount of $1,080.77 or they would move to sue me to obtain what they believe is what they are owed. Please understand as a consumer an unlicensed business cannot sue you in a jurisdiction that they aren't licensed. That's literally the purpose of the license so that the business can be protected by local laws. I did not give in to this tactic and instead I reached out to DCRA and the Consumer Protection Agency. Both of these local government offices have been extremely disappointing because they act as if they can't take action on the exact situations they were established to perform. The intentions of this review are to make all consumers aware of his business practices, understand local government offices will not be of any assistance and the best way to resolve these issues is to not get involved with them. When looking for a contractor please contact a property management company for a referral or obtain a referral from a trusted family member/friend. Make sure to obtain a business license, business insurance and scope of work from all contractors.

I had them do the full kitchen renovation (new cabinets, counters, OTR microwave + reinstallation of appliances). And then followed up with a bundle discount to add in new carpet for the entire place. Replacing missing carpet on first floor and the whole upstairs. I believe the price was still outstanding for what I got. They subcontract out the work, but they get discounts from their subcontractors which they pass on to you. Everyone I worked with throughout the whole process (well, I have no complaints) they all did excellent and I felt comfortable the whole way. (Lastly) he has followed up afterwards to help with handyman tasks and some minor touch up tasks. I believe the price for those all still great. I recommend Dominic and crew from Green and Gold for any and all projects. Def very happy I found them. I will be going to them first for pretty much any home repair needs going forward.

We've known Jose Gonzalez, the owner of this company, for over 3 years now. We first met him when…read morehe was working for our previous general contractor who we hired to do some fairly major renovations. (Renovated kitchen, two bathrooms.) Jose then started his own company and we've hired him several times since then. (Most recently we hired him to replace a sink/vanity and paint/fix up our entire basement apartment.) He charges a very fair price, does incredible work and has great attention to detail. Jose can pretty much do it all. He's done some plumbing and electrical work, installed cabinets, replaced drywall... Jose is also able to do smaller jobs too - he's hung heavy shelves for us, replaced light fixtures, etc. We couldn't recommend him more strongly.
