    more bad door molding
    Lisa H.

    Our home went through a major renovation in 2018, pretty much down to the studs, and we were so disappointed with Unique Remodeling. We went with these guys because of their stellar reviews on finishing the job on time and attention to detail, but we experienced neither on our project. There was a definitely a rush to "get things done" at the end and there were no quality in the work provided, resulting in them having to come back frequently to fix small things, which was extremely annoying and inconvenient considering that we have 2 small children at home and are very busy with work. Our renovation was a very big job, and it was probably bigger than these guys could have handled, and while they are nice people, they did not do their best with our property and to have spent so much money, time, and energy to have to deal with so many things just being okay and mediocre, is very frustrating and maddening. The house looks fantastic aesthetically, but if you look at the details, so many shortcuts were taken and we are starting to see the consequences as things are starting to break, just 3 years in after a complete renovation! We recently sold our home, and the inspection came back with leaks in both bathrooms that were renovated, by the tub and by the sink faucets. We contacted Unique Remodeling and they came to take a look, and all we got was "we passed inspection...(implying so it wasn't our fault)". I've been to a few of those inspections, and sometimes the inspectors just walks through without looking at anything. If you want leaks in all of your bathrooms after just 3 years, feel free to go with them, as they do not take responsibility. We also did not plan to do exterior painting, and Omer said multiple times that they would be able to match the new stucco (from new windows, openings, etc) to our old stucco. Surprise, they couldn't, so he provided me with an estimate for exterior painting that was twice the amount as other specialized exterior painters (we had 3 vendors come to provide estimates, and all three estimates were very similar). TWICE! The professional plumbing inspection also mentioned that we missed a flow-back valve for our guest house, to which Omer replied "it was not required when we did the renovation", but per the professional plumbing company, it has been required since 1988. Omer straight up lied to us. During our final move, we had to remove a murphy door, which required a special key, which came with the murphy door installation kit, but it was never provided to us. So I asked Omer about the key, and he was extremely dismissive and pretty much said "go buy one on Amazon". So we did, then we found out it didn't work because they installed the door kit key BACKWARDS! We are so happy we don't have to deal with those little things at the house anymore. Looking back, we would've gone with a different contractor and it probably would have saved us a lot of time and money. We were really struggling on posting this review as it will negatively impact their rating on Yelp, and we like supporting local businesses. The truth is, we don't want another home owner to go through what we did, and if we had saw even one negative experience (if there was one), it might have changed our decision.

    We hired Unique Home Remodeling to do an entire gut renovation of our house which included knocking down walls to open up a kitchen, creating a new bedroom out of a 2nd floor den, and completely changing the layout of two bathrooms. I worked directly with Effie who was the day to day lead on the project. Overall, I am very happy with the end result for the price we paid and am giving a 5 star rating based on value, responsiveness, and honesty. Before hiring Effie and his team I got quotes from 3 contractors, Unique Remodeling wasn't the cheapest but they were much less than the most expensive. I hired Effie because it was clear that he had deep experience actually doing the work. Most other contractors walked through and said they could do everything I wanted but Effie offered very clear feedback on certain design choices that he knew would be problematic (he was right). Overall, it was a pleasure working with Effie and his team. Like any big project, there were a few delays and mistakes along the way. And I told Effie he needs to hire a few more good project managers to make sure work gets coordinated better. But the important thing to me was that Effie was always highly responsive, quick to take accountability for any mistakes that popped up and re-do anything we weren't 100% satisfied with. And most importantly, Effie and his team delivered a quality end product, on budget, without any unexpected cost overruns. If you are looking for an honest contractor at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Unique Home Remodeling.

    We had Omer remodel our 1980's master bathroom. He walked us through changing the layout and knocking out a wall to open the space up even more. We received estimates from two other contractors for this project, and Omer came with the best ideas and insights of the three. He was always avaliable to answer questions and give advice; he even went with us to floor and decor to help us choose the tile for the project! Throughout the project I felt confident that Omer wanted us to be truly happy with the end result and was willing to go above and beyond to make that happen. Were there bumps and unforeseen circumstances along the way? Yes, but Omer is an honest, hard working guy who would always make it right. The project did take longer than estimated, but I was especially sensitive to the timeline because we started the remodel when I was 6 months pregnant. We love our new bathroom! I was very intimidated by the design aspect of this project, but Omer helped me choose materials and fixtures in a way that it all came together organically. Bottom line: I trust Omer and his process and would work with him again.

    After

    Every Yelp review you've read about Unique Remodeling is true. Omer was consistently in contact with me from evaluation to project completion. Jose and Alfredo who executed the job were even more detailed and meticulous about their work than I was - they matched the paint AND texture on an existing wall we built over, every part of the false wall we built is seamless, and I have a new recessed electric heating unit/entertainment wall that looks exactly how I envisioned. The entire workspace was left spotless once they were done (including the concrete walkways and driveway outside!!). Cannot recommend these guys enough, I'm already thinking of the next remodeling project I'll need them back for!!

Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Our project manager Tamir was exceptional -- responsive, organized, and clearly invested in the quality of the work. He kept the job moving at a surprisingly fast pace and promptly resolved issues as they arose. Pricing was competitive -- we got multiple estimates and Way To Go came in reasonable without cutting corners. You can see it in the finish quality: the stonework is clean, the tile on the curved bench is precise, and the side yard pathway turned out better than we imagined. Our pool cleaner gave high praise on the resurfacing work when he arrived for the first cleaning! Highly recommend for anyone looking to transform their outdoor space -- quality work, fair pricing, and a timeline that'll surprise you.

The remodel included changing the old plaster to mini pebble, installing new tile, adding a new LED pool light, and doing the deco seal around the pool. The finish came out great and it completely refreshed the look of the pool. Once all the materials were ordered and ready, the actual work was completed in about a week, which I was really happy about. Tamir kept everything organized and the crew stayed on schedule. I also appreciated that he was able to accommodate a couple of last-minute additions I requested during the project and made sure everything was taken care of. The crew did solid work and the pool looks great now. I'm happy with how everything turned out and would recommend Way To Go Builders if you're planning a pool remodel.

I say "with" because they both were absolutely with us every step of the way. The schedule and commitment they made with us was as equally important to them as it was to us. We had some hiccups. No project that I've ever been involved with goes without a hitch. And our house was built in 1963, and the kitchen was last updated in 1992. So there were a lot of challenges to be met and issues to be dealt with as the kitchen went down to the studs. But Elena is a master project and business manager. And Dmitry is actual an artisan, with a team of very skilled people at the ready to do the work and handle the problems. Even when we had issues with the vendors for the appliances, Elena stepped in and worked the white spaces, smoothing over the issues and getting everyone back on track. Dmity himself literally built custom solutions real time at the work site. We had several challenges because of the way the house was initially built, and he overcame them one by one with creative solutions that were not simply kluges but are now permanent fixes that passed ALL Final Inspections. Which brings me to another point: Dmitry did all the plans for submittal to the city, and Elena submitted all the plans and permit requests, interfaced with the city for all inspections, and gave us copies of all the final inspections and permit information for our files. We paid for those services, and I will tell you it was well worth it. It bears noting that we lived in the house the entire time the work was being done, except for the 12 days when we were on vacation out of the country. Pulsar kept working the whole time we were gone, safeguarding our home, and keeping us in the loop even though we were eight hours ahead. Pulsar was not our least expensive bid. But we made the decision early on that we would not cut corners on this job. We are very grateful to have found Dmity and Elena. They were easy to work with, had respect for our property and our schedule and our budget as much as possible, and never made us feel sorry about choosing to with them. I recommend you choose them, too!#

It is not straightforward to review solar companies because, well, these are big $ projects and I don't get solar installed every month or every year. So, this review does not compare Xero to other solar companies. I would be writing a fairytale if I were to review them, say, against Tesla. Having that cleared up, let me start the review. First come the sales people. Did they take the time to understand what my wife and I were really wanting our solar system to do for us? Did they propose a system that would meet our needs? George B. was 'our' sales person. He is still with Xero 6 years later, albeit in a larger role. This is a very positive sign. Before you sign with a solar company, ask about turnover and who your contact will be as the project progresses. Xero gave us 'one stop shopping' and that has real value. George fielded all our questions, informed us of status and kept us informed about anything that impacted our project (everything from municipal permits, Southern Edison approvals, project progress, to Solar rebates. Xero continues to be stable. We had one 'sales' meeting where George worked with us to configure a system and set up a timescale and pricing. One funny thing did happen that I should tell you about. George assumed we were looking for a minimum cost system that would lower our electric bill. We had to explain that what we wanted was a system that would give the maximum backup power (battery plus solar) in case the grid went down. That type of system would then also have the property of giving us there lowest SCE bill. Our final system was: 40 panels, 4 Tesla Powerwalls, and all the support infrastructure needed. The price was in line with expectations, so we signed up. The project moved quickly. XERO produced the plans that would be submitted to SCE and the City for permitting. They also created all the paperwork that was needed to take advantage of the government rebates. We were having our roof redone at the same time as we were replacing a much older solar system with the Xero system. George coordinated Xero's work to put hardware in place to hold the panels so the roofers could seal the hardware against leaks. The installation of the solar system went quickly and according to the original schedule. We were up and running 'on schedule'. We have had a few problems since the 2020 installation. One of the LG panels died. Xero replaced the panel, but we also learned that LG is getting out of the solar panel business. If other panels die Xero said they would 'take care of it'. I trust them. Then, one of the Tesla Powerwalls kept tripping the first breaker between it and the rest of the system. That turned out to be due to the screw that fixes a (large) wire to a breaker loosening. Xero repaired that immediately. Probably the most concerning failure we had was that the main breaker, the Backfeed Breaker, that connects the solar/Battery Backup system to the grid, melted and disconnected us from the grid. We were running on battery and solar only for a few days. The good news is that the system as implemented can deliver enough power to run our home and charge our car from the sun alone. One of the very senior Xero folks saw the 'call for service ticket' and rushed right over on a Sunday afternoon. Then one of their very senior engineers came out and diagnosed and repaired the damaged system. This failure was also caused by a screw that fixes a wire to the breaker loosening. The installation crew used calibrated torque wrenches to torque every screw to its specifications. So, faulty installation was not to be blamed. Heating/cooling can cause this type of failure as the wire and screw are subject to expansion and contraction. Overall, Xero is great company. They are stable, have excellent leadership, proudly stand behind their brand, they don't leave you 'hanging', they are easy to deal with, they've been in business for quite a long time, they have a stable workforce. I recommend them highly. "But", you say "aren't you concerned about the failures? Especially the 'loose set screw' issue." Short answer: NO. These failures are bound to happen in electrical equipment that carries large currents (have a chat with one of the AIs about this). There are many issues that can cause such failures: heating/cooling caused by large currents that are not steady; for example switching Powerwalls from charging to discharging. Both loose connections were in high current areas where current direction changed frequently. The solution to these problems is 'maintenance'. Xero now offers annual maintenance contracts which will prevent the type of failure we have seen. That is the theory. We shall see how this works out in practice over time.

She bent over backwards to stay in touch with me and followed through to make sure my issues were addressed. Then, she got Tina (also) from Xero Solar, to contact SCE on my behalf. Much to my amazement, they were able to negotiate with SCE to refund me the overcharges that should never have been applied in the first place. Mind you, my Tesla power wall had been installed over a year ago, and I doubt any other solar installer would stand by its customer this way. Xero Solar came through for me when I needed it. I highly recommend them for any solar needs.
