We engaged Lingol Construction to do a number of jobs for us on our home over the years, including…read morea major remodel of most of the house a few years ago. This was a major project to replace the front facade with a new entrance and deck, sandblast and stucco, remodel the kitchen and baths, upgrade interior wiring and plumbing, replace all windows and doors, create a new room in the basement, add interior stairs, etc. etc. etc. resulting in nearly a re-build of the entire house. It required an army of subcontractors ... we were thankful that we had Alan Lingol engaged as the general contractor to manage the details. Alan has a lot of experience in the construction business and was able to work with our architect, engineer, and countless sub-contractors. He also has strong people-skills and he listened carefully to our ideas and concerns. He was organized and thoughtful. We requested many modifications as the project progressed and we were able to work through the inevitable issues that come up with a project of this size. We are very pleased with the end-product ... after-all, we live in our house every day. In many cases Alan came up with some great ideas that we had not thought of and now look back with relief that we had incorporated some of those ideas ... even if you're an expert yourself, you still want somebody who can look at things with a keen eye and suggest alternatives. There are "before and after" pictures of our kitchen posted on the company's website. Our parents also engaged his services on their beautiful home in La Jolla which included a kitchen remodel and replacement of doors and windows. We would not hesitate to engage Lingol Construction on our next project.

After hearing all the horror stories about general contractors, I will admit I was a bit reluctant…read moreto even add the master bath on to my home. I submitted a query on Thumbtack, and Solomon responded within minutes. He gave me such a great bid, that after only interviewing 2 other contractors, I gave the job to him. I was impressed from the beginning about how responsive he was, always answering my emails, calls, and texts right away. He was here at 7 AM every morning, and stayed until all the rest of his crew had gone home. He must be a neat freak like I am because every day he would clean up things so that they were cleaner than when he started that day. My job was a complete master bath addition to my bedroom, and he finished the job in a month and 1 day. He was such a perfectionist that even if I couldn't see anything wrong with some little piece of trim or something, he could, and would do it over until he was satisfied it was right. I know that I asked him to do more than what he originally bid on, and he gave me a very fair change order quote, but then he actually went above and beyond my expectations, to create the most beautiful bathroom EVER! I just can't recommend him enough. Hire him and get your job done quickly and perfectly, at a fair price!

We needed a total bath gut job, all of the indoor, out door repainted, doors reworked with hardware replaced, stucco repaired, a bonus room build out, accent tile work in the courtyard and roof. Soloman from SK Fine Homes submitted a bid, we accepted and he immediately tackled the massive projects. Its been a little over 4 weeks and everything has been completed beyond perfection. The work far exceeded our expectations! Details such as accent boarder work on tiles, matching paint to particular accents, making sure doors worked perfectly, tile work laid out with precision, and of course the entire projects ran smoothly, on schedule and everything done so well. Not being from the area, we really did not have many connections. We are fortunate to have our project managed by Soloman. Our next remodel will be our kitchen and we plan to call SK Fine Homes back to lead this remodel.

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.

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 best part is that Mark does everything, electrical, plumbing, wood work and masonry. He does not have to wait or rely on other trades. The second project was a 3000 sf patio, that included a full outdoor kitchen, custom cabinets, firepit and built-in seating. The best part is the hand built wood fence and deck.
