I would definitely use them again and recommend them to my closest friends. Also, their prices were very fair.

He worked efficiently, had all the tools and a floor tarp and work was excellent quality all around. The price was very competitive and reasonable. He built a bunk bed with a trundle and a twin bed also with a trundle and a dresser, all in one day. Super happy with the work. Thanks!

My family and I are Jesus Christ followers and our Lord has provided for us our entire lives…read moreallowing us to overcome some of the largest storms we've ever battled. I wouldn't characterize the sudden burst of water that flowed from our kids' toilet as a storm, but it was an unexpected happenstance that upended our lives for almost three months. Ironically, my wife and I had been contemplating restoring our outdated bathrooms, but I had explained to my wife that we needed to wait until the home interest rates plummeted, so that we could refinance our home in order to remodel our bathrooms. God Is Good All The Time and we know He heard us, but I wouldn't have fathomed that us getting new bathrooms would have occurred this way. We are so thankful to God that He allowed Aaron McFadden, Freddy and his team, and Element Construction and Restoration to be the main contractor that were responsible for the beautiful bathrooms, new flooring, and restoration of the damage that occurred from the water damage. Our home was built in the 1970s, so it's antiquated and prone to have issues such as water leaks and other problems associated with owning an older room. Unfortunately, this is our third time having some type of water issue. We've had a slab leak, a leak from our water heater, and this most recent iteration, a sudden burst of water from our kids' toilet. When this most recent episode transpired, I was a veteran of handling the basics of having to deal with a water leak such as reaching out to my insurance, contacting a plumber, and ensuring mitigation assisted with our situation. What I wasn't experienced about was construction and restoration of three bathrooms, part of our downstairs ceiling, affected walls, and our downstairs flooring. Praise God our go to plumbing company, All American Plumbing, recommended a small business and North County construction contractor named Element Construction and Restoration. The owner of the company and Aaron are family, so it's a family-run business based out of Oceanside. They have work all over San Diego, so they provide service around San Diego County. Full disclosure, I'd rate Element Construction and Restoration 4.5 stars because we did have some delays as a result of wrong materials ordered, but I would give Aaron, Freddy (one of the subcontractors Aaron uses), and Freddy's team 5 stars based on the impressive workmanship, diligence, and how everything that was restored turned out. Writing about their work doesn't do it justice, so please look at the pictures of the project. It truly was a blessing to work with Aaron. He's a friendly dude, has a positive disposition, was overly communicative in a good way, and he was completely transparent about everything including being apologetic for some issues that came up during the project. From the start of the work where Aaron came out to measure things to our final inspection where he scrutinized the work that was done, he was professional and knowledgeable about what we were going to embark on. What I also appreciated about Aaron was keeping my adjuster in the loop and updated about anything that came up from our project. One of the things I want to upgrade in our home is our kitchen, but I'm not looking for God to put us through another storm. If you're in the market for construction, restoration, or renovation of your home, I highly recommend Aaron and Element Construction and Restoration.

It's been almost a year since we remodeled our kitchen. We are so happy we decided to use Appleton…read moreDesign & Construction. Tom and his crew were great! Whenever I had a concern or question, Tom or someone from his crew would quickly get back to me. One example of going above and beyond was when we unboxed our microwave for installation. Unfortunately, we unboxed our microwave on the 17th day after purchase. We thought we had 30 days. The microwave had a huge dent. I called the retail store and they refused to replace it. They said they could only give me a gift card for $40. Tom was able to use his contacts and the store then replaced the microwave. I also appreciated that Tom listened, gave suggestions and helped us with how I wanted the kitchen to function. Our family and friends still tell us how much they like the set up and style of our beautiful kitchen!

Tom and crew did a lot of work for us but he and his crew missed the mark when it came to making a…read moreconcrete countertop for our kitchen. This concrete sealant or whatever you want to call it was apparently the first time this product was used by him which I would not suggest he do with anyone else. I believe he had a choice to use an industrial grade product (as I requested) since our request was to make the countertop "shine like Costco's floor" but this is what the product looked like after a few months. He guaranteed that he would redo the countertop to our satisfaction but he stopped working on this even though the final product came out looking like crap - and after the third attempt as well. Unfortunately Tom elected to no longer work with us after I pointed out some of his other shortfalls so just keep this in mind when getting bids. Tom often likes to use a guesstimate bidding versus providing a formal quote. Sure it cuts down on costs, but you might not get what you thought you were getting since nothing is in a formal quote many times. I could point out other things that just were not done very well like when our Sub-Zero fridge showed up and Tom's crew didn't read the specifications correctly so the crew could not install the fridge and Tom's crew had to fix the opening in the kitchen and then the Sub-Zero crew had to come back a week later. The instructions were clear and Sub-Zero has very detailed specs - but the crew didn't pay attention to them. Again, just things like that were a normal occurrence throughout the entire time we had Tom do our projects. His father's custom kitchen cabinets turned out ok - looked very nice, but some of the trim pieces were not lined up on other areas. Just little annoyances. Anyway, nice bunch of people, but not what you'd expect for the several tens of thousands of dollars we spent over a year.

We hired E2 to remodel our kitchen in our condo. We met with Frank at the beginning so that he…read morecould get a sense of our needs - we wanted to basically gut the kitchen and install new cabinets, flooring and counters as well as lighting and 2 new appliances (stove and microwave). We had met with two other contracting companies and we were given a similar quote as E2 but to be honest, meeting with Frank gave me a totally different level of confidence than meeting with the others. He listened carefully, was very honest with us about expectations and I immediately felt comfortable. This is the first remodel me and my husband have ever done so we were nervous! Frank and Alex made very quick progress with our kitchen - it's a more complicated inspection process with condominiums so inspections were the main hold-up for us. Along the way they made sure we were getting the results we wanted and were quick to make changes if we had any requests. Alex was great to work with, he is very detail oriented and does great work. He and his team always left our house and the common areas in the condo building extremely clean (cleaner than it was originally, honestly). I always felt great greeting them in the morning, knowing that the place was safe in their hands. We ended up having a weird water heater valve issue from a previous installation that had to get fixed before our final kitchen inspection and Frank came over to offer his expertise on what he thought the fix could be. I was very appreciative because I wanted to be able to talk to the plumbing company with confidence about viable solutions. Frank and his team really went above and beyond in making sure we were comfortable and happy with the work. Frank asked us to leave a review and I am happy to do it because I was very pleased with their work and would truly recommend them to any one who is looking to have remodel work done.

When I moved into my condo, I wanted the hardwood floors to be renewed (not refinished since they…read morewere installed 1-2 years ago). The scope of work was to buff down the current top coat and then reapply the protective top coat/gloss. The square footage was about 500-600 sqft (hallway + living/dining room area). I called Frank and he was very responsive. I made an appointment for a walkthrough and he gave me estimates for everything I wanted done (although I went with another person for painting/other jobs). He was nice and explained everything very well. So his people came to do the floors (only took about 1.5-2 hours to complete) and he stopped by at the end to check on the work. Since the topcoat was oil based, I wouldn't be able to walk on the floor for 24 hours (which was fine because the entire condo was empty anyway). The next day, I went to check on the finished floor. I was very disappointed! There were dust particles all over so the floor felt bumpy/dirty (there were some places where it was ok but some places where it was very very dusty looking). Frank called later that night to see what I thought of it and I told him that I was dissatisfied. He went to take a look and agreed that it was unacceptable. So, he scheduled his people to go to my condo again to redo the job. I showed them where the worst places were and they said they would vacuum and wipe down the areas after buffing (I guess they didn't wipe it down afterwards?). They were in and out of the condo in 1.5 hours. The next day, I went to check on the final result. Disappointed again! There was definitely less dust particles but it looked like they buffed down some parts and recoated while other parts it just looked like they recoated on top of the existing top coat. As a result, you can see the streak/brush marks from the top coat (almost like when you paint your nails ... you put on the first coat of nailpolish but you don't wait long enough when you paint the second coat, and then you get that horrible clumpy streak). Also, you can clearly see that on the edges of the floor, there is no clear coat at all! I was very frustrated at this point because I had already scheduled other work to be done, so I didn't have time for him/crew to come in again to redo the floors. Frank called again the next day and I told him that I wasn't satisfied but I didn't have the time to have him redo it again. And with that, he charged me the price we agreed upon and my floors look actually worse than they did before they did any work. 2 stars: 1 star - Great communication ... will call you after the work is done and responds to emails quickly. 1 star - He did redo the work when I was dissatisfied ... but if you're redoing the work, it better be done correctly! But that's about it ... the work is the most important and they just didn't do a good job. I would not recommend E2 Remodel and would not use them again in the future.
