Waterproofing was found to be necessary during the sale of the property through the Buyer's home inspection. Andrew and his team were amazing and worked very quickly through multiple days in heavy rain. They helped me meet a very shortened completion timeline I had and went above and beyond the scope of work in the contract by putting on a more expensive product than the contract called for and putting on an extra coat of waterproofing to get an extended 15 year warranty from the manufacturer. I obtained bids from 4 different waterproofing and foundation contractors for the job and Elite Structural was the cheapest of the 4 and also did not charge anything to bid the project. Andrew was very communicative and sent pictures through each phase of the process. In the end they left the job site cleaner than they found it, pressure washed the entire area and painted areas that needed touching up from the excavation process. I will be using Andrew and his team for any future projects and highly recommend them if you are in need of an expert in this niche field that won't take advantage of you and will truly go out of their way to help.

My 125 year old vintage home needed structural lifting as well as earthquake brace and bolting…read more Through the painful task of obtaining reviews, I found Elite Structural Solutions. From the moment Ludimar came by to review my home, he spoke with me, reviewed the structure and explained it all, I immediately knew this is who I wanted to go with. He then provided a reasonable quote a couple days later. I knew going with Elite would offer me peace of mind. The price was right and offered only what I asked for and were honest. I spoke with Andrew through the whole process and he showed up the day of the install and was there to supervise the work as well as always answered the phone and followed up on every detail! He helped with the painful task with my local city and the permit process and went above and beyond to get this process complete. Danielle in the office always got me answers to questions I had about billing or timing as well. I am so pleased with the work, honesty and process. It's not easy to find such a great group. I have done many upgrades around my home through the years and no team has been as responsive and trustworthy as Elite Structural Solutions. Highly Recommend!!!

Untrustworthy. No…read morecredibility. Goes back on his word. Recently, on a Friday, I called Joe, the owner, to meet up at the house to review the sky light that needed replacement for the following week. As Joe stated he had a job in Newport Beach and would call on the following Monday to advise when he can come over to review the job, sign the contract and take the deposit for the work. The scheduled call was for the next Monday as agreed. Monday morning comes and no calls. I called mid morning and Joe said he has no appointments on that day... What?!! On the phone, he stated he was going to call me the following Monday....really?!! The appointment was already agreed upon and the only thing he was to do on the call was to confirm the time when he can come to the house and it would be good to go. The price he quoted for replacement of a 3x3 skylight was: Labor - $550.00 Parts - $250.00 - $300.00 Anyone who does not take appointments seriously and to treat their customers this way should be avoided at all costs no matter how great the reviews are. You can't agree to an appointment for a call and pretend later that nothing was ever set in the books. Oh, he also said he is too busy to be doing this kind of work.... Apparently Joe, the owner, is also listed under Orange County Roofing.COM, Stride Roofing 949-751-7159 and Skylights Unlimited 714-962-7984. So be forewarned, this guy is affiliated with all these businesses. Out of all these businesses, only Stride Roofing is listed in the California State Contractor's License Board as having a valid contractor's license that expires on 06/30/2015. It never hurts to do a thorough search in the State Licensing Board web site for any contractor using their names as well as license numbers. Bottom line - Skylights Orange County and all these businesses should be avoided as this individual is not trustworthy.

I asked this company to help me with demolition and a construction of a new house in Orange. He…read morefirst quoted me $250/sq feet at the end of 2020. And then at the beginning of 2021, he said $300/sq feet. Then at the end of 2021, he quoted me $651+/sq feet. He came up with all these numbers NOT based on his calculated estimate. He told me he was basing it on talking to three of his colleagues who had built 20 houses between the three of them. I told him that was not what we agreed on. He then told me that he can value engineer it. I asked him for an estimate based on my house. He kept on saying that he did not want to waste his time giving me an estimate. He then proceeded to ask me to watch a video that shows it cost $400/sq feet to build a house in Lake Tahoe. This is what he said: This is a very accurate video (please watch). Your home is more elaborate, larger and you have to add the demo and grading of the existing lot. This would put you right around $400 a sq ft. Sincerely, Basically he came to me. His prices went all over the place, and in the end, he said - well, this video said that to build a house, it cost $400/sq feet. So I will build your house based on what the video said. I do not want to use him anymore. So guess what? He wants $240999.80!!! He said I have to give him the profit that he would have earned building my house, incurred material loss, restocking fees, and delivery cost. Even though we have not even started. On the calculation, he doesn't even know the square footage of my house. He calculated it based on 5800 sq feet (the deck is 1200 sq feet, 4605 sq feet house), and then he multiplied that with the going rate of $400/sq feet for construction! NOTE: THE GOING RATE, not the real rate based on his calculation of my house! He didn't want to give you prices. Even his contract does not have numbers, so he can charge whatever he wants. On the phone, he told me that the demolition cost is $90K. Now that he wants money and he has to show the paperwork, he showed the quote to only be $50K. He told me that he got 3 quotes for demolition. I asked him how much was the quote. He refused to tell me. I tried to recommend my worker's licensed friend's demo company. He proceeded to tell me that he is the person in charge and that everything has to go through him, etc... I had no intention of doing the demo myself. I wanted to recommend somebody if the cost is cheaper. So I told him that I was not comfortable being "man-handled" by him (I am a woman). I want to be more involved than being a paycheck. When I first met him, he told you he had built tons of houses. But in reality, he never did any house! And his inexperience shows. Who would use a guy who does not want to calculate an estimate based on the house that is going to be built? Instead he told you to watch a video and say - hey - that's the price that I am going to charge you because that video said so! I asked him to quote me to do a repair of a condo who got damaged by a tenant. He quoted me $1850 to replace the outlet & switch COVERS. My worker did it in two hours, with the materials costing about $150! Kitchen Cabinets - he quoted me $15040. My cabinet guy charged me $6000. To demolish the kitchen cabinets and the carpets of an upstairs condo (700 sq feet approximately), he quoted me $3500 + $1200 (may include some or all of the following: Trash Pickup, Dump Fees, Temp Fencing, Port a Potty, Scaffolding, Deliveries, Site Clean-up, Material Handling, Site Management, Erosion Control, Equipment Rental, Plastic, Ram Board, Site Visits, Site Meetings, Scheduling, Site Safety). My workers did it for $500. Another professional company quoted me $1200. Flooring - wood tiles for the 1405 sq feet condo, only upstairs plus stairs are going to be replaced. He excluded the two bathrooms. He quoted 1000 sq feet of wood tiles material for a total of $7000. I got my floor tiles material for $1.54/sq feet, 850 sq feet material including the two bathrooms (including 10% extra material). Total for wood floor tiles material is $1309. 850 sq feet is overly conservative considering that the 1405 sq feet includes a 3 car garage! Even with the excessive overcharging, at the end of the invoice, he added $10120 for profit!!!! Everybody has to eat. And he is entitled to make a profit out of you, but one needs to be fair! He even offered to supervise my own workers! That is how hard he tried to get money from me. My workers whom I have known for years, he tried to tell me that I needed him to supervise them because he said "workers are unreliable". He told me that he would give me a special discount of $85/hour to supervise them, instead of his usual $125/hour rate. I also lost confidence in him because I found the review that one of his workers posted on another site because he took $1000 from him. All the foregoing facts stated here are true, nothing but the truth, and I have supporting documents and text messages to support this.

JDL Designs directed the subcontractor to remove approximately 20 feet of our front-room and…read morekitchen interior wall to prepare for the installation of glass sliding doors. The work was abruptly halted after it was discovered that the project could result in the county issuing a red tag on our home due to permitting or code compliance concerns. As a result, the large opening in the wall was only temporarily covered with rough drywall and tape, leaving the area unfinished. In addition, the power to our electrical outlets was cut off along the entire length of the front-room and kitchen walls leaving us without usable electrical service on that side of our home. In our view, this work was not performed in good faith or with proper planning. Despite the significant disruption and damage caused to our home, JDL Design has still not accepted responsibility or restored the affected area. As of today, one year and four months later, the damage remains unresolved., From our perspective, the architectural portion of the project took nearly a year to complete. During that time, communication was extremely difficult. Our phone calls often went unanswered, and we struggled to get updates on the status of our plans. When the plans were finally submitted for approval, they were rejected because of numerous errors that had to be corrected. As a result, we hired a new architect and engineer to completely redraw the plans, resulting in additional expense and delays. After requesting a refund for work we believed was not completed satisfactorily, the situation became contentious. During one interaction, a disagreement with Damon LaBlue escalated into a hostile situation. Rather than working collaboratively and professionally to resolve the conflict and bring the matter to a close, Damon LaBlue filed charges against me, which further complicated an already difficult situation. As a result, we were unable to recover the funds we had requested and estimate that we suffered a financial loss of approximately $6,000. Overall, we found the experience to be frustrating and disappointing. In our opinion, the communication, professionalism, and handling of our project did not meet our expectations. Based on our experience, we would not choose to work with these individuals again.
