    Pile of materials dropped off at my home while I'm on vacation
    Nadine C.

    We came across this company by a sales person walking around door to door. We did need work done in our backyard so we were happy to get an estimate on the work. A bit pricey, but overall my husband and I agreed to get the work done. Our estimate was done my Omer (David) who was a very pushy salesman and a bit rude. Called me a "cold" woman. This was the first red flag. The work on our yard was to be done 2 weeks after we signed the paperwork since we were leaving on vacation. My dog sitter calls me 2 days later saying that there's piles of gravel and dirty at my front driveway. We never agreed to have this dropped off at my home 2 weeks early to inconvenience myself and my neighbors. We did not even get to enjoy our vacation as I was worried that my neighbors would call the city and get us fined. Thankfully the work was done the weekend that we arrived home. The job was well done but the workers broke 2 sprinklers in my front yard when placing drain pipes. David was notified that these sprinklers needing fixing and we have been left on read with no call backs from either him or their customer service department in over 3 weeks. The yard workers did not speak English and were drinking ON THE JOB. proof was captured by my ring cameras. I do not recommend. Please find a legit company with good customer service. UPDATE: Nema their customer service rep reached out to us and swiftly got our sprinkler fixed. A really nice guy. I wish our entire interaction with this company was thru him as he has been the only one helpful.

    Our beautiful new walkin shower!

    We recently had Specialty Builders redo part of our bathroom, consisting of ripping out the old shower and tub and constructing a new large walk-in shower. There were a few hiccups and changes, but overall Adam and Mikey and the crew of guys that worked on our home were respectful and pleasant to work with! I would recommend them. We are very happy with our new shower!

    Thomas and Tal did such a great job on my front yard. I had paving put in and a new drought resistant yard. There crew was excellent and everything I asked for was delivered.

    Highly recommend Specialty Builders! They were very easy and accommodating to work with! Caroline & Jacob were a huge help and were available for whatever we needed! Our backyard was done in less than a week, they worked very fast and efficiently, and the cost was very reasonable. They have a program that you can qualify for if you need help with finances! We'll definitely use them again for future work and would recommend to anyone needing landscaping.

    Poor communication
    Amber S.

    Where do i beginning this is my second review the last one i posted i was asked to take it down once the work they failed to do they finally got completed so there's that. This project started DECEMBER 15 and didn't get done till i wrote the 1st review and they completed the protect MARCH 5. This company's communication skills are very poor we got our work started and they told us it was gonna be done one day then no one would show up or say anything. Work finally got done besides the flowers we were promised 6 plants in total. My husband would get left on read and it took us a few weeks to even get a response only because i wrote the 1st review. the initial seller (NOAH) didn't even respond to my husband his assistant (KIM) was rude because after my husband texted her she called once and couldn't answer and used that as an excuse when they spoke on the phone again she said "i tried contacting you" mind you she only called once after not answering his text and even after that she didn't answer till the 1st review. When they finally sent someone for the flowers they sent an old man with his white poodle in the car with no idea what flowers we even asked for. He also asked if we were going to plant them we were shocked and he asked to take down the review. This old man went to Lowe's and came back with our plants when he gave back he planted our flowers and just left the dirt on top of the newly decorative rocks. We paid for turf,decorative rocks concrete and flowers. So far concrete has been the only thing they didn't mess up on for now. The Turf they use is really cheap 5 months in of washing and rinsing everyday spending water which was the whole point not to do it still has a strong urine smell that has been impossible to wash out. Highly don't recommend this company cheap work for expensive pricesl.

    Front yard
    Dee U.

    Wow where do I begin. We went from dusty front yard to the best front yard on the block thanks to DAVID. Now you might be thinking oh this is just another average sales tactic me writing this review well I mean you may just have to get work done by these amazing professionals to see for your self. David did an excellent job executing the job start to finish from our vinyl floors to our front yard that is now the talk of the street! We we're very fortunate to have someone as patient as David walk through everything with me and my husband while our kids screamed and played every stepped of the way. He was very easy to communicate with and got the job done in record time!! If you are look for reliable and affordable contractors look no further this is your team!! My next home I already know who to call without a doubt! Ask for David if you want the best and greatest quality! Below are some of the before and after pictures of the front yard and vinyl flooring

    Redstar Construction - Kitchen Remodel

    Redstar Construction

    (85 reviews)

    proceed with caution! Man where to start. I don't enjoy…read moredragging somebody's business, but I also don't enjoy spending a large chunk of our hard saved money on garbage work and hopefully I can save somebody else from making the same mistake. I guess I will start by being open and up front and saying I put off doing this negative review for two years... we had such a terrible experience during installation of our LVP floors and the workmanship proved to not be great in the following year or two but my final straw that made me decide to finally write this review comes from being recently enlightened to yet ANOTHER issue with the quality of work. A couple of months ago we suffered severe water damage in our home and as a result, all of the LVP that Redstar installed in 2023 had to be ripped up and we found out they never even put a barrier under our flooring between it and the concrete. These guys cut SO many corners the entire job and this just has me livid again. SOME of the issues we had with Redstar- - What was supposed to be a 2wk job turned into 4wks - One of his workers stole a bottle of whiskey out of our cabinet. Had we noticed while the job was going on, we would have absolutely brought it up to Stan, however, we didn't notice it until we were moving furniture back into our house and at that point we were so sick of dealing with Redstar that we chose to let it go instead, however, there was absolutely nobody else in our house during this time (the house wasn't in living condition, so how could there have been?) so there's no way it was anybody else that took it. - Without our consent they modified our entry way steps almost permanently but we caught them. It was a rounded step down from the entry to our living room, Stan told us they could make the rounded edge work even with the LVP. We double checked with him because previous contractors told us no because it was round and the LVP is obviously not pliable but Stan said it was doable so we tr... well apparently his solution was to take the rounded edge and just make it a giant square! Which cut into our already small living room and looked horrendous! Thank God my husband works from home and came out of his office when he did, imagine his surprise that not only had they already framed the square out, but they were filling it with concrete without anybody even asking us if that was OK! It wasn't, they had to find another solution. - The house,was left FILTHY every day. Our kitchen was basically unusable the entire time. They made ZERO attempt to clean at all and make our home even remotely comfortable for us. I had to clean the kitchen daily to even be able to use a single countertop to make food. - Stan and his crew were supposed to level out some of the uneven flooring before installing the LVP and still, after already being installed, they had to rip up the floors, several places and level our area. They should have already done, but didn't because the floor would sink down or bend when you stepped on it. - Stan the owner was never on site unless we had an issue he had to come deal with. Idk where he got his workers but they were subpar, did subpar work. The only decent one who seemed to care at all was his supervisor Eric, who unfortunately also was rarely there until we were so fed up we demanded someone else finish the work. Very shortly after the work has been done , of talking within six months to a year max, there were already multiple planks that had cracked and we started noticing that the putty or whatever it is, they use in the joint of the flooring, was starting to fall out in multiple places. The only thing we clean our floors with warm water and vinegar so it's not like we were using harsh chemicals. I utilize Yelp a LOT for trusted recommendations on everything from food to construction services and everything in between and I felt guilty about not writing a negative review immediately after our experience with Stan and Redstar but to be completely honest, it was such a stressful experience (every day was something new, I dr dreaded coming home from work) on top of the fact that I was just done dealing with them on top of the fact that I didn't want to say anything negative that could possibly get in the way of our "1yr warranted on the work" if we need them to come back for anything so I just kept my mouth shut but honestly, I feel like this review needs to be put out there if it can save anyone from a fraction of the annoyance and headache we experienced with them! Finding out that the LVP was installed with zero barrier was my final straw. We paid over $13k for a shit job. I'll end it with this , our experience was so bad that we paid over $13,000 for the flooring, and when issues started to arise within the first year, we STILL didn't even want to bother contacting them to come fix the problems because we had SUCH a bad experience. We would rather eat it and deal with it than call them again.

From the very beginning, Karen was always kind, patient, professional, and genuinely willing to help. She went above and beyond countless times--contacting the Department of Building and Safety, staying on top of DWP, making phone calls, following up, and consistently keeping me updated so I always knew where things stood. Anyone who has dealt with permits, utilities, and solar knows how frustrating and time-consuming the process can be, and having Karen helping me made such a huge difference. What impressed me most was her work ethic and the fact that I never felt forgotten. She stayed on top of everything, communicated with me, and truly seemed to care about getting things taken care of. Karen is honestly one of the best people I have ever dealt with throughout any construction or home-improvement project. It is rare to come across someone who is not only great at what they do, but is also genuinely kind and pleasant every single time you speak with them. Karen, thank you so much for all of your hard work, patience, and help. I truly appreciate everything you did for me and my family. We the People are very fortunate to have someone like you.
