    Christian and his team just completed our kitchen refresh with new quartz countertop and subway tile backsplash. The tile for the backsplash was laid perfectly by Luis. It was completed with in our budget and desired timeframe which was very much appreciated. Christian was responsive, explained details and made suggestions. We highly recommend Surface Tempo!

    Finding a contractor who is responsive, detailed, good communicator with fair pricing is almost impossible to find until I met Christian. He was all of these things! Surface Tempo works with specialized crews who are experts in their craft. They were on time, courteous, kept things tidy and were accommodating. Christian visited daily to keep tabs on the work, he would get supplies and save us time and kept his word by sending a crew for a last minute baseboard installation after the job was complete due to fireplace mantel delay. I highly recommend them and will use them again in the future. I got all new wood flooring, reconstructed fireplace and redid the powder room. Everything turned out great!

    On time and on budget aren't words you use often when remodeling but we are fortunate enough to be able to. Christian is an amazing project manager and contractor. He texted me daily on updates, progress and what to expect next.There were no surprises with him and I am grateful for that! There was no lag time during our project, there was someone working on our bathrooms 5 days a week which expedited the whole process. He helped me narrow down my choices and guided me when my decision fatigue kicked in! Everyone from Christians team was so friendly, respectful and knowledgeable! I would 100% recommend for anyone looking to remodel! This is the dream team! Thank you Christian!

    Kitchen refreshed and beautiful!

    The quality of the kitchen update was incredible! With the service requested and coordinate with Christiqn, to have the kitchen updated, we couldn't have expected such a beautiful result. The kitchen is opened up and updated from the original 80s-style kitchen. Would use Surface Tempo with Christian again, no hesitation!

    My father is a disabled veteran and it was getting difficult for us to help him shower. His bathroom is very small and the shower needed some major upgrades. Christian and his crew at surface tempo gave us a fast and reasonable quote. We told him we needed my Dad to be able to just walk into the shower with the aid of his walker. They remodeled the entire room. New toilet, sink, mirror, replaced window, installed grab bars so he can easily and safely move around. Installed a bench seat that can fold up and down as needed. Floor and tile all replaced. It's better than what I imagined and it looks so much bigger. Also added lighting and a fan. I can't recommend surface tempo enough for your next home project. We are using them again to do a kitchen remodel and replace the flooring for the rest of the house. Thank you Christian and team!

    I really can't say enough good things about the work that Chris and his team did with our remodel. We really enjoyed our remodel experience (like... who says this!!) First of all... ON TIME!! We did this project in 2 weeks. He delivered he exactly when he said he would... even asking his team to stay late on a Friday so we could have plumbing connected for the weekend. Second of all... Chris is very communicative. And he will give you his opinion if he thinks something is not right. Third... we felt like the pricing was very fair and they kept us informed through the whole process. We had a bit it a materials issue... and Chris absolutely did the right thing and handled it very well and quickly. Seriously there is no one else out there in the industry I would trust. The Surface Tempo team is just the BEST!

    Long overdue review. I had reached out to surface tempo right before I sold my previous home, we set a date to meet at the new house once I got the keys but we ended up receiving the keys 1 week later because of stupid loan company that left us homeless. Surface tempo team really worked with my time and we were always in contact with each other! We completely love the work. I really cant thank Donald & Chris and the team enough that worked on my home. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for a company who are very professional and have great communications, Surface Tempo Donald & Chris are the ones to go too!! 10 Starts if I could (maybe ill leave another 5 star review to make it 10 stars)

    Im so happy with this company. I had really bad experience with the last contractor I used. It's was awful disasters. My friend referred me this company. They came into my medial spa Grey Aesthetics in Newport Beach and totally transformed it. I can't tell you enough how happy I am. They paid attention to detail they were super helpful always got back to me when I had any questions they were very responsive they had a quick turn around they got my work done in a very timely manner quicker than I expected. And the prices were great! My spa looks so beautiful. They fit some customer work also! Turned out great. I highly Recommend this company. They do superior work.

    Reached out to Surface Tempo and other countertop/back splash contractors based on Yelp reviews. Surface Tempo was prompt at scheduling a free estimate, and was priced competitively with all other contractors. I picked them based on their attentiveness to walking me through the process of a minor home remodel. They scheduled the work quickly, and their team was professional, and very nice. They gave me the option to purchase the material myself or they could purchase the material. Once material was purchase, job was completed in two days, right on schedule. I'm very happy with the results, and would recommend them for any surface remodel. 6/6/2020 - Review Update* I was very pleased with the results the first time, I reached out to Donal again, to carpet my new home. Service was excellent, he worked within my tight schedule, and pricing was competitive. I couldn't asked for anything more. Highly recommended.

    We have had the pleasure of working with Surface Tempo on both our kitchen remodel in 2020 and our master bedroom and bath remodel in 2023. We worked with Christian and his team of subcontractors and did both of these remodels in a relatively short period of time compared with the amount of work required. We were impressed with the organization, responsiveness, communication and most of all the quality of work performed. We are definitely very satisfied and would hire them again for any remodel projects in the future!

We knew that we needed an expert to complete the job without the risk of damaging them. We had a difficult decision to make and for this project, we obtained 7 quotes. After looking into each of the companies through the CSLB website, we found out that only four of them had a valid contractors license. We felt very comfortable with George, the owner of Jace. He has vast knowledge of hardwood floors with years of experience, has a friendly demeanor, and is a fellow dog rescuer. One of the other reviews mentions a customer's satisfaction with Jace's refinishing of their 100 years old floors. Though his quote was not the lowest, we chose quality over price. And we are so happy we did. Carlos, the lead tech on our project is also very knowledgeable and approachable. He answered all of our questions, and explained everything they were doing throughout the various stages of the process. Carlos's assistant, Jair is friendly and a hard worker. After the work was completed, Mike came to inspect the work, and grout the transition from our Dining Room to our kitchen. I didn't even have to ask them to do this. George suggested it to replace the ugly molding that was previously there, and on which we would frequently stub our toes. Mike returned a second time to drop off a complementary Bona cleaning kit. From the initial Yelp request to the finish of our project, George and his team were stellar, exceeding our expectations. Our floors look amazing, as if they were newly installed! I would recommend them to everyone in need of hardwood floor installation/refinishing/repairs. It is their specialty and their business name says so. Check out their work on Instagram @jace_floors

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.
