Joe did an excellent job -- A+ -- on my shower replacement and I am very pleased with the result…read more Joe came to estimate the work, providing good suggestions (enlarging size, adding bench, angled glass enclosure). He gave me a reasonable price with no pressure. The job involved removing the old tub/shower, replacing the plumbing, building a bench, wet-mopping, adding cement-backing, installing porcelain tile, replacing the flooring, adding drywall (including re-stucco-ing, and repainting). Each team - demolition, plumber, framing, wet-mop, tiler, dry-wall/painter - was professional, competent, hardworking, and clean-minded. Keep in mind that this is not a one day job --- mine took 1 1/2 weeks. Joe was always responsive to my calls and kept the job moving. Also, his quote does not include the glass enclosure. Joe sent me a good glass enclosure contractor and he added an additional week - 1 day for estimate, 5 days to cut/temper the glass, and one day to install. I enjoyed watching them work. To get the job done right, there is a lot of expertise involved. My wife was so grateful that she always provided snacks and water for the crews.

I strongly dislike giving reviews lower than three stars. Unfortunately, I cannot give more than…read moretwo stars here, and I should only give 1 star-. My experience with Joe, the manager who handled most of the communication, was terrible. In my opinion, he did not have enough hands-on construction knowledge to properly manage a remodel. He seemed to rely almost entirely on what his employees or subcontractors told him, even when they were wrong. When I pointed out mistakes, he often pushed back, blamed me, or tried to make me pay to fix issues caused by his own crew. A few examples: -We specified grout colors, and they used them on the wrong tiles and areas. -The wrong sinks were ordered. -The wrong faucets were ordered. -The wrong tiles were ordered. -The wrong counter top was delivered. -Kitchen cabinets were faulty and installed improperly. -They promised one type of flooring, then delivered something completely different, including a different color, and installed it incorrectly. -They tried to conceal faulty piping inside my walls. Had I not walked in unexpectedly, I would never have seen it. -They poured a foundation for a small extension without making it deep enough or installing a moisture barrier. We now have tiles showing signs of moisture damage. -They did not repaint several rooms. They cleaned the walls and then claimed the rooms had been painted. -The electrician made serious mistakes, including issues that almost caused a fire in my house. The overall pattern was simple: -They made mistakes. -I had to catch the mistakes. -Joe often tried to shift blame. -They tried to charge me to fix problems they caused. I also felt like Joe tried to take advantage of me financially. He handwrote the quote and invoice, and I trusted that the items we discussed would be handled as agreed. Later, he tried to back away from what had been discussed and claimed certain items were not included. Only after I involved the owner did Joe back down and admit he had made a mistake. There were also major management and communication problems: -Joe is not the contractor who owns the business. -From what I saw, there was no professional contractor consistently supervising the crew. -Joe would come by occasionally, look around, speak with the crew, and leave. -The crew often seemed confused about what needed to be done. -Communication between Joe and the crew appeared poor, which caused constant errors. The crew was also a revolving door. Different people came on different days. One person would start the flooring, and others would come later to finish it. The same thing happened with tile, plumbing, electrical work, and other parts of the project. Each time someone new showed up, they seemed to have little or no idea what had been agreed to. Joe also asked personal questions that made us uncomfortable, including: -Where are you from? -What do you do? -Can I see your cars? -"Wow, you went to that restaurant? It's very expensive." -"This was an expensive house. You must be very rich." That felt inappropriate and uncomfortable. Overall, this was a nightmare experience. Never again. The only reason I am giving two stars is that they finished quickly, and by the end, I was simply relieved to have them gone.

We remodeled our bathroom from the ground up as it was over 20 years old. We worked with Tony and…read moreBruce throughout the entire project. While there were a few moments of miscommunication, Tony always reassured us that anything we want, if possible could be done. They stayed within our budget and kept their promise that the contract price would be the total cost with no surprises. They also have a showroom where you can pick and choose your finishes, tiles, vanities, which made the design process much easier. One tip: make sure to have everything you want clearly written in the contract to avoid any confusion later. Overall, the process was smooth, and Tony and Bruce were kind, communicative, and easy to work with from start to finish.

They contracted out with an iron company to do the work as well as their guys to demo and get the project ready for Amir. We absolutely love our staircase and love this company! We will be contacting them in the future for more projects.

First of all, I am so happy that my husband found Woodwork Solutions. We interviewed with few…read morecompanies, but we had a pleasant feeling with Kevin. Their quote was not too cheap, not too expensive, but reasonable. However, they use good materials and high-quality wood. Kevin's team was all very professional, kind, and polite. When I asked for any changes, they never made me feel uneasy or uncomfortable and changed the style exactly how I wanted. After they finished the woodwork, the painting team came. They were also very professional, thorough, and very detailed. The entire staff worked so hard, and they made our house very beautiful. I highly recommend everyone who needs to remodel their house or needs any woodwork. You will be happy like our family and friends did. Again, thank you so much and you guys did a fantastic job! Many thanks to Kevin, Casey, Aaron, Jake, Shaun, Oscar, and Chak. I'm not a Yelper, but I hope my review stays on their yelp site.

I was referred to this company by a friend who had her kitchen cabinets refaced! Her kitchen is…read moresmall and mine double the size! When I called, I got sales guy Eric Motley and first impression; he's waaaay to laid back, came in shorts to appointment looked at cabinets explained very quickly the process of removing doors, painting original frames whatever color I wanted, replace with style doors I wanted (shaker style) with WOODEN doors. So don't expect them to be resistant to fire or dings or 100% smooth surfaces! Price to replace 22 doors and 9 drawers all with soft close was $6800. If you supply door knobs and pulls they will install. Price was too good to be true:: once the down payment was sent, Eric promised week later all would be done! Unfortunately some scheduling conflicts with another contractor replacing my floor tile, and countertops, interfered with Eric crew, so we moved it too following week. Long story short, painting consists of covering existing frames with tape and paper which took longer than expected, doors installed following week, but with a ton of mistakes! Door above microwave we're never ordered, doors to the right, were measured short, the drawers, same things measured incorrectly, panels under sink never relived had to remind Eric it was missed! After all was installed, some doors were crooked, or not closing properly. Eric promised a new cutting board, slab of thin treated wood under sink. And white doors were dirty or smudged with fingerprint!! You can imagine my fury! Postponed completion yet ANOTHER week! Almost 1 month later crew came in to retouch paint fix drawers hinges install missing pieces! Paid final balance yesterday, 11/15/18, that evening one drawer panel under sink fell off (see pic) and today the hallway door (see 2 pics) fell off hinges !! I've texted Eric and he's not very good to respond! He or his crew do have a checklist to go off of per Eric but apparently no one "checks" it!! My recommendation don't pay balance until you are 200% happy with every single. I will say Tyler and Kasey are the young contractors who installed doors/drawers very polite very respectful young men.

We are absolutely thrilled with the product and service we received from G & A. From the moment we…read morewalked through their door, Brandon assisted us with a level of care that made both my husband and I feel like we were a family member. We added on a 200 sq foot master closet room and originally went to G & A to look at carpeting for the new closet. Not only did Brandon spend a lot of time with us on the carpet (which was a small job), he inquired if there was anything else they could assist with. We quickly learned that G & A does not just specialize in flooring, they provide a wide variety of services. In addition to carpeting, we needed painting, stone for countertops and expanded our project to replacing the tile in our laundry room (a long want on my wish list). I got 5 bids for painting and when combining all the above services, Brandon came in with the most competitive pricing. We went with G & A and are so happy that we did. I never felt like he was trying to upsell us and we felt their prices were very fair. In fact, Brandon offered us options with the stone that were more economical than other brands. Brandon was with us every step of the way! When the tile I picked out for the laundry room was discontinued, he found one very similar which I ended up liking better anyways. When they started the laundry room project, while removing the old baseboards, there was an issue with some of the drywall. Brandon quickly stepped in and had one of his guys perform drywall repair right away so as to not stall the project. They removed and reinstalled the washer/dryer as well. They also updated the 20 year old baseboards to match the rest of the house. All of G & A's laborers that worked in our home were courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Brandon kept us advised every step of the way. I STRONGLY recommend G & A for any home improvement needs you may have and don't forget, they do way more than flooring! I am attaching some photos of the closet where they laid carpeting and installed quartz, the tile & painting in the laundry room and the painting of the living room/foyer where the new closet was built above.

I hired this company for a job that cost over $200K. Complete kitchen, tile floors, fireplace, and…read moretwo and a half bathrooms completely redone. This company is unprofessional, they charge extra and rip you off every chance they get. The owner/contractor sells the jobs and then leaves all work and quality of work up to his one and only project manager ( who is not only unprofessional but also not responsive to texts and calls). The owner/contractor does NO QUALITY CONTROL OF THE WORK. YOU, THE CUSTOMER, ARE THE QUALITY CONTROL PERSON. IT IS UP TO YOU TO NOTOCE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT POOR QUALITY WORK, the contractor will not be visiting your worksite. Example: The back door needed to be refinished 3 times because I FOUND hairs painted in the finish once, It didn't close properly another time and then it had paint drips dried in the paint another time. Example: They installed a CRACKED piece of trim under the mirror, in plain sight, in the bathroom. Example: They tell you how great their tile guy is, I had to complain about several pieces in the kitchen backsplash. One tile completely crooked in plain sight! Others that had a crack or chip on them. Nobody is checking any of the work being done. This poor workmanship is obvious to anyone. I requested a different Project Manager and the owner told me they only have one. I regret hiring this company and paying these people over $200k for all the headaches and stress! I'd give them a negative rating if possible.

I have used Octavio and his team on other projects and he has also worked for many of my friends, family and neighbors and everyone boasts about him and his team's work and overall experience. Octavio came out and looked at a floor that was cupping and warping due to excessive mopping. Right away Octavio knew the solution would be a water resistant vinyl laminate. His team did a stellar job on time, on budget and they cleaned up and were very careful attending to every detail of the job. Anyone considering flooring and construction whether it's a bathroom, hallway, drywall, painting and flooring or an entire home you must call Octavio. I highly recommend ABC Flooring and you must visit their new showroom in San Juan Capistrano. Thank you.
