Get matched with top kitchen and bathroom remodelers in Antelope, CA

"If I could summarize my experience with Chriswell Home Improvements in three words, it would be “pride in workmanship.” Let me start by saying this is not my first experience with a remodeling contractor but it is by far my best. My last foray into this type of project was a kitchen remodel in 2015. I will not detract from this positive review to talk about that experience other than saying I wish I had used Chriswell rather than “the Kmart of Kitchen renovations.” You can always look up that review on Yelp. While I have some experience with construction (on the kitchen project I handled the demolition, the rough construction and electrical with the help of a contractor friend), I was not about to tackle my bathroom renovation. Our bathroom renovation was by no means a standard project. We were combining a half bath with a full bath to create a single bathroom. The half bath was original to the house (1954) while the full bath that shared a wall with the half bath, was built, by the prior owners as part of a remodel in the 1970s. Let’s just say the full bath had its quirks, beginning with the 21” wide entry door located right behind the kitchen table. No guest ever wanted to use it, instead going around the corner to the half bath that backed up to it. When we decided to remodel, I had serious reservations about using another generic remodeling company found at a home show rather than a general contractor who would bring in subcontractors where needed. We ended up talking to Chriswell at a home show to get an idea of what we would be facing and due to the uncertainty of the times/economy, we decided to lock in with them. I will say now that it was one of the best decisions we could have made. It started with meeting Eric, the superintendent who walked through the project with me but continued through the entire crew beginning with Gil, the foreman and Derek, the point person and main guy on the job along with Gil. Now that the description of the project is finished, let me get back to my first statement about Chriswell’s employees, that is “pride in workmanship. I’ll start with Derek. He handled most of the demolition and with Gil, the installation of the new sheetrock, moving the heater duct, installing the vent fan and the patching of the paneling on the dining room side. Several times, beginning with Derek’s insistence that he had to complete the taping and texturing of the new sheetrock because he was concerned that the switch in the middle of the job would be evident in the difference in technique. A better example, however, was after the new recessed lights were installed by Daniel, the electrician. I had noticed that they were connected to the wrong switch (hooked in with the vanity lights instead of the ceiling fan light). Before I could even say anything, when Derek came in the next morning, he had removed a section of the ceiling to rewire the lights because it did not seem right to him. When it came to the paneling, both Gil and Derek said that they did not like the options to patch the door opening. There was no way to match the 1970s (as it turned out made in Japan) paneling. They said it just would not look right and they would prefer to replace the entire wall. We discussed it and decided to match the bead board that is on the kitchen side of the dining room. These are just two examples of many. I’ll continue with Gil. As he was finishing the bead board, he did not like how the last piece would look because he would have to patch two pieces together. Instead, he bought a second sheet so I would not have a horizontal seam in the center of the piece even though it was in the corner and only about two feet wide. When they installed my vanity and sink, the stopper provided with the faucet would not work so Gil purchased one that worked but it was a push button style, making the pull bar on faucet non-functional. Isaiah, the plumber added a nut to the underside of the pull stop so it could not be accidentally pulled out. Again, because it would not have looked right if that piece was removed. As long as I’m talking about Isaiah, I wanted to mention that his first day on the job, he noticed I had paint brushes drying by my utility sink in the garage. He made a point of telling my wife that I should not wash my brushes in the sink because he has seen costly plumbing repairs because paint settled in pipes. He did not have to do that. The other two workers who stood out with their commitment to their jobs were Matt, the tile installer and Luis, the drywall/texture finisher. I’ll start with Matt. When I was looking at the shower and complimenting him on the tile, he said, “when I finish the job, I don’t want anyone to have to come back to fix something.” That stood out to me. Luis came in to finish the texturing towards the end of the job. He did not have time to finish the Friday he was brought in so he asked if he could come in on Saturday to finish. It once again reflected the whole company’s commitment to finish the job without cutting corners. I will end this review with my experience on the final walkthrough and the follow-up work. Eric came over for the final. I pointed out that I was not satisfied with the height of the light fixture and the location of the mirror. They were a little low and off-center. I said if there was an issue with moving the fixture, I could live with it, but I wanted the mirror raised and centered on the sink instead of the fixture. Eric’s response was that I should not have to settle for anything. I should be pleased with it and if I’m not, they will fix it. He had Gil and Matt out two days later to take care of both the mirror and the light. Not only did they fix the bathroom, but it was garbage day and after they left, I went to move my garbage cans back to the side of the house only to find that they had taken care of them for me. This small act, combined with their pride in workmanship shows the quality of people that represent Chriswell Home Improvement Company in the field."

"We needed to remodel our almost 40 year old bathroom. After contacting a number of companies we decided on Best of Remodel. They were wonderful to work with and very flexible with some of the changes we needed to make. We felt their pricing was very reasonable and the crew that came into our house were nice, respectful and talented. Best of all we love our new bathroom It is beautiful!! Special thanks to Arthur and Alex. They always were just a phone call away if we had questions. A great company!!!"

"I couldn’t be more pleased with our tile floors. The team at The Hard Part Tile and Repairs really went above and beyond. The layout and design, the precision and attention to detail as well as the diligence and dedication of the install, specifically in the meticulous and difficult cuts required to finish our job and in such small, tight spaces really showcase both their professionalism and their creative craftsmanship. The team were on-time, communicative, upfront and they kept their word, even when the job was more tough than any of us realised. They worked with us and we felt we were partners in the project the whole way through. They treated our home like theirs and it shows in the floors and we look forward to additional projects upcoming in the near future. Give them a call, you won’t regret it."

"I can’t say enough good things about Andrey and Coastal Region Construction! I’ve hired his team for multiple large projects, and every single time, the work has been top-notch. His craftsmanship speaks for itself. The whole house painting—inside and out—was flawless, with clean lines and a professional finish. The kitchen and bathroom remodels? Stunning. Every tile, cabinet, and fixture was installed with precision, and the end result looks straight out of a magazine. Not only is he a skilled contractor, but he’s also just a great person—honest, reliable, and incredibly hardworking. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make sure you’re happy with the final result, look no further. I highly recommend him and would give 10 stars if I could!!"

"Fair pricing and quality work. We needed to replace and upgrade our ceiling and bathroom fans. Every step of the way we were assured of the process and there was complete transparency on the part of the owner. When the electrician arrived, work was promptly started and he quickly moved from room to room, installing the new ceiling fans. As the work neared completion and turned to the bathrooms, it was discovered that we needed ducting to move the air through the attic. The electrician made a quick stop for additional materials and proceeded to complete the job in record time. We already have another quote lined up for more improvements that are long overdue!"

"VNC renovate did a fantastic job remodeling my kitchen. They are very prompt and have a great worth ethic. The project was done in a timely manner and the experience was enjoyable all the way through. I recommend there service"

"The workers were very very good at what they did. Tile installations were exquisite, cabinets design and fixtures are amazing. I went from one large mirror to two arch mirrors and what a difference. Love all rge work done and would highly recommend Artac and his crew again."

"We wanted to say thank you to Solid Construction and Design for an amazing kitchen! We are loving our new space and just enjoying our gorgeous kitchen. It’s such a pleasure to working with you guys, we love your work! Thank you!"

"Jeremy Kinsman completely remodeled our kitchen. Every phase of the job was performed as promised, on time, and on budget. Jeremy is professional and skilled in all the trades (framing, plumbing, electrical, cabinet installation, flooring, drywall, and painting.) Jeremy was polite, considerate, talented, and meticulously detailed - plus, he accommodated our needs, living and working at home during the remodel, and he kept the job site clean throughout the entire job. I would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again."

"Would dodge the question when i asked for a contract and never wrote one out, broke 2 of my lighting fixtures (they replaced these), 2 window panes (they replacedone with plexiglass which is plastic and denied the other one), got paint everywhere including my front steps, left a truckload of garbage after saying they'd remove all of it, left asbestos everywhere, destroyed $500 worth of crown molding by cutting it wrong, and left beer bottles that they were drinking on the job in my sink. I'm afraid to have anyone work on my house ever again at this point."
