Get matched with top deck and porch pros in El Dorado Hills, CA

"We recently wrapped up a two bathroom renovation with Geico Builders and the end result speaks for itself! I just took a shower in one of our new bathrooms and it was like going to a fancy spa or hotel. I could not have envisioned it this great at the start, it has completely transformed our home. Feels almost unreal to have such beautiful, high end rooms in our home now! I had never done a remodel before and had barely posted the job on Angie’s list when Mila reached out and set the standard for what a consultation could be like. She had ideas for what could be done and David was nearby with his crew and could take a quick look so I got a brief feel for their teamwork. I talked with 5 groups in person and this team had a great cost/value balance and were willing to help me customize it how I wanted. Mila told me about their 3D design option and that reminded me that I do something somewhat similar for my job, so I mocked up the space in Maya and designed out several options that Mila looked through and helped me narrow down. Printouts of those posted on a wall at the job site really helped keep everyone on the same page. David’s attitude on the job was wonderful to be around, he values his team and is so positive. His crew worked fast and I had to hustle to keep up to order the materials in time. Both he and Mila went tile shopping with me and were a big help. There are so many options! If I were to go back I would have spent time picking out the exact pieces I wanted from the store we went with rather than done delivery—natural stone has huge variations so I was surprised by some of the tile when it came. The team was so fast that some of the stone had gone up before I saw it and several pieces were too dark. They were very understanding of the issue and fixed it when I brought pieces that were more representative of what we selected in the store. They consistently proved how trustworthy they were and backed up what they said from the beginning: that they were here for me, had my back and wanted me to be happy with the final product! Whenever I had a request or wasn’t sure with how something was coming together they took the time to walk me through it, listen to my perspective and shift if it made sense and would make me more confident in the process. I truly appreciated each time they double checked with me for my opinion and noticed when something was off! (For example, I had picked two grout colors thinking one was whitish and the other grey when in reality they were both almost the same in color! The crew caught it and I was able to get the right one quickly.) It was a huge collaboration, I’ll admit I wasn’t aware how much if my time researching and being available would be needed at first. It has been a steep learning curve but Mila and David were there for me. (Probably didn’t help that I designed and built some of the furniture to fit the space on the time investment side, but it paid off) Thank you Geico Builders for the stunning bathrooms! Your team’s work ethic, perseverance and expertise has been so appreciated!"

"Ken is awesome! Our stairs are super sturdy! He showed up on time, finished way quicker than expected. We will definitely hire Ken again."

"Sidex Siding and Decking did an incredible job on my deck! The quality of their work is evident in every detail, and the materials they used are built to last. The team was professional, efficient, and easy to work with. They delivered exactly what I wanted, and the final result looks amazing. All my family and friends absolutely love the new 25x30ft deck! Highly recommend them for anyone needing a well-crafted deck!"

"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."
