We hired Ambrosini Long Development to build an indoor/outdoor space as part of the renovation of…read moreour beach house, and we couldn't be happier with the results! We first discovered them when we saw a stunning custom home they were building down the road from us in Point Loma--as we watched the daily progress on our morning walks, it was clear they did beautiful work. After meeting with Kyle and Jeff, we knew right away they were the right team for our project. From start to finish, Kyle and Jeff were incredibly communicative and professional. I had heard too many stories from friends who had bad experiences with contractors, so I did my homework--met with several teams and got multiple bids. In the end, we felt most confident in Ambrosini Long, and it was absolutely the right decision. Their attention to detail, thoughtful design suggestions, and the quality of their work were exactly what we were looking for. What really stood out was their transparency--they walked us through every step of the process, discussed different options, and even shared trade invoices with us so we always knew where the budget was going. During our project, unexpected things came up--as they often do with older homes--but Kyle and Jeff were incredibly knowledgeable and creative in how they approached each challenge. Their experience really showed, and they worked closely with us to find smart, effective solutions that kept the project moving smoothly. The final result exceeded our expectations. The space is beautiful, functional, and perfectly tailored to our home and lifestyle. We highly recommend Jeff, Kyle, and the entire Ambrosini Long Development team--you won't regret choosing them!

WARNING - Dishonest contractor, shoddy work…read more My wife hired this outfit for help on work at our house to fix and remodel the bathroom. The work that was done was shoddy, with no attention to detail, and caused damage to existing plumbing. Contractor attempted to charge us additional funds to complete the job after a price and scope of work was agreed upon in a signed contract prior to the start of work. My wife felt extremely uncomfortable interacting with this contractor as he was pushy and inappropriate. In short, a very dishonest outfit. Do not trust this guy.

We were becoming totally frustrated in our search for an architect and a general contractor to…read moreguide an extensive remodel of our home. What we needed and seemingly could not find was an honest estimate of costs, an architect who could help us design our project and drive the permit process, and a contractor to build the project. Finally we happened upon STEL Builders. Cory, a walking advertisement for why you need to contract with STEL, jumped on our project and quickly gave us a realistic idea of costs. He introduced us to Frank, who is an awesome person and STEL's in-house architect. Frank gave us three options of drawings to choose from. Each option met our basic requirements and also outlined possible upgrades. Based on our budget, we committed to a plan. Within two months we had permits and construction began. We were assigned a dedicated project manager with whom we met weekly to assess progress in demo and ultimately new construction. Even before demo began, we met our design angel in Ivette. She guided us through selection of fixtures, cabinetry, tile, wall coverings, flooring; all the aspects of a remodel that keeps novices like us up at night. Her calm demeanor combined with her creative ideas made this an amazingly pleasurable experience! Ivette led us to our dream design outcome, and all within the budget we worked out with savant Cory in the beginning. STEL has great relationships with all the best subcontractors & receives priority on their projects, keeping the downtime in construction to a minimum. Midway through construction, our project manager left STEL. They hired a super pro replacement in Roberto. His many years of experience enabled us to stay on track for completion and enhanced the quality of the final product. Roberto is already a tremendous asset to STEL! And all along, even as he continued to take on new projects, Cory stayed in touch and treated us as if we were his only client. No question or inquiry we had was too small or insignificant for him to address nearly as quickly as it was expressed. We moved back into our home after six months and felt like every dream we had dreamt for our forever home had come true. The outcome has exceeded our very high expectations. In Cory's introduction, he touted STEL as a small, family oriented and local Design & Build Company. He was right about that. However, we think he understated how committed to these values Seth Larson and STEL Builders really are. They get it! For people like us, this is the largest and last big expenditure we'll ever make. They treated us with respect, congeniality, honesty and integrity. Our lives and our home from now on are forever enhanced from having met and worked with Cory, Frank, Ivette and Roberto. Thank you Seth Larson for the team you've built. Thank you STEL Builders, our new extended family!

[Original review was at 3.5 stars rounded down to 3 stars. However, I received some VERY unpleasant…read morecommunication from the "branch manager", Eran Chan, subsequent to my review post. He demanded that I provide my identifying information, ignored my request for privacy based on the review, and made accusations that I used a fake contractor. It was irksome enough to remove an additional star. Remainder of review remains in tact.] As first time homeowners, we discovered that the market for construction/ remodel help is difficult to find in San Diego. It's hard to filter out the reliable reviews from those who are associated to the business owners. This is heavily prevalent on Yelp and exceptionally so for service providers: it's important to notice how many of those 5 star reviewers have (1) no yelp activity, (2) no yelp friends, and (3) created the yelp account close in time to the date the review was placed. You should be cautious of the veracity of these reviews. With Treeium, you'll find a that there are some valid reviews and some questionable. I lend mine as one backed by evidence. To date I am the only Yelp Elite reviewer. I'd be happy to pass along my complete sentiments privately. I selected Treeium from -- you guessed it-- yelp. My husband, who's the more calm and friendly individual between us two, was the one to receive the initial marketing pitch from the company (we'll leave identification of individuals private). Overall, I would say they do a great pitch. The representative that they send is friendly, knowledgeable, and conveys a strong level of confidence in how the project will go, etc. The individual came back a second time to talk to me with my husband.. and even I was thoroughly convinced by the pitch. Once you sign the paper, that's where the rollercoaster ride starts. The first guys that came in were kind enough to lay down carpet covers to avoid stomping around in our Asian household (read: NO SHOES INSIDE) and on our brand new carpet. Subsequent contractors were less respectful and didn't bring shoe covers. We had to lay down our own carpet covers. Thankfully I wasn't present for most of the process because I'm sure I would have raised hell through each phase. They were relatively timely on the breakdown and removal. There were strong initial attempts to protect our property and minimize the construction mess. But once the actual work started, it seemed like there was just problem after problem. There were many pros and cons.. pros are evident by the final bathroom being done (finally).. My biggest qualms however were: (1) PRICE: we had to pay for a lot of additional things after the quote that just kept getting tacked on the original quote. It was frustrating to find out that certain tiles or things that we wanted were unavailable or could not be incorporated. We had to settle on several aspects. There is a payment plan option to make it more palatable. In retrospect, I think the project was on the higher end of what we could have found elsewhere. (2) FAILURE TO MEET TIMELINE: this is the MOST irksome part. We were told 4-6 weeks.. it took almost three months. With the various contractors that are required in any one job, I understand that the more parties there are.. the more likely there will be scheduling problems. But the timeline was edging on unreasonable. (3) AVERAGE COSMETIC JOB: I have never heard a contractor tell me your wall is crooked, therefore, there will be a gap between tile and wall in order have a straight tile surface. It's a minor aspect but gap bothers me every day like an itch in a spot you can't reach. Also, the white tiles that were chosen were shaved at the corners, leaving ugly brown rounded corners amidst the white tiles. Another itch. Also, we opted to keep the bathtub. They cracked the bathtub with removing the old parts around the tub. Rather than fix the tub, we were told we could pay more for someone to fix the cracked porcelain or go buy our own fix it kit. After all the extra costs, we opted for the fix it kit.. which i think is ridiculous. Oh but by the time we got around to it, the tub started to rust in the places where they damaged it. When you step back and look at the overall reno, it does look better than what we had. We're generally happy with the final product (my husband more than I)... and it is definitely an improvement. We did refer Treeium to another group of friends who did an even bigger project, but they had the exact same complaints we did so I feel that our comments are valid and verified. Prior to the unpleasant communications received from Eran Chan, I would have been happy to share that Treeium is *capable* of doing a good job and that we might return. With his harassment, I don't foresee our return or further referral.

We found Tai with Fantastico Design and Build through a company that sends vetted contractors to…read morehomeowners. Out of the 3 bids we received, we chose Tai because on first impressions, he listened to our remodel needs and was the most professional. It may seem silly to say, but we also liked that our dogs instantly warmed up and trusted him too. He is the owner of Fantastico and a licensed contractor. We didn't have to deal with some random person who works under his license. In our first meeting he came prepared with a presentation about his license and his business and gave information upfront. We did a whole home remodel (excluding the bathroom), but the biggest part of the project was the kitchen remodel. I am so happy with how it turned out! Tai worked with us for the design of the new kitchen and gave helpful input like paint color selection. Carlos, his foreman, knows what he is doing and was such a true professional. Tai and Carlos spent several hours with me the day of installing the backsplash behind the range to assure the pattern was done to my liking. That just shows true dedication to their client. If Tai's people didn't do the work, he would help find licensed subcontractors to do the work and was always onsite anytime a subcontractor was there. We never felt alone in the process. He found us excellent subcontractors for installing mini-split units and updating electrical in the rest of the home. Besides the kitchen, Tai was able to expand our bedroom closet, replace very old windows, install new floors, new baseboard and trim, smooth and even out the wall texture, add insulation, and repaint both interior and exterior. His pricing is fair, and he is willing to find ways to try and work with you on any unexpected costs. I would definitely use Tai again. There could be a bathroom remodel down the line, and I would trust Tai to do the job and to do it right. We have copies of all our permits and city approval paperwork. Thank you, Tai!
