Pro-Tec Design & Construction

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the stunning remodel of the bathroom that Sonny Salimi from ProTec Construction recently completed. As someone who has seen countless bathroom remodels over the years, I can confidently say that this new one Sonny did for me is one of the most impressive I have ever seen. From the moment I entered the bathroom, I was struck by the attention to detail and the quality of workmanship on display. The installation of new fixtures and fittings are not only beautiful to look at, but they are also incredibly functional and well-designed. Every bathroom element has been carefully considered and executed with precision, from the tiling to the lighting to the storage solutions. What's more, the remodel has completely transformed the space, making it feel brighter, more spacious, and infinitely more luxurious. Sonny helped us select natural materials and neutral colors that create a soothing, spa-like, welcoming, and serene atmosphere. Throughout the entire project, Sonny Salimi demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. They listened carefully to our needs and preferences. They worked tirelessly to ensure that every remodel aspect exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality is evident in every corner of the bathroom. Overall, I cannot recommend Sonny Salimi’s company, ProTec, highly enough for their work on this bathroom remodel. If you are looking for a skilled and dedicated contractor who can transform your space into something truly extraordinary, look no further than Sonny Salimi. Sincerely, Bob Settineri

Super, dependable family owned company. Does top notch work and great to work with. Very professional, and there to take care of your family’s biggest investment. We highly recommend Pro-Tec Design & Construction. We are so happy with how our house looks outside after the remodel and have received many compliments. This company has also remodeled our bathroom showers and fireplaces and done a wonderful job each time. Sonny, the owner will make sure you are satisfied and taken care of.

I have nothing but great things to say about Pro Tech Design and Construction. They were punctual, very professional, and did an outstanding job. We had a lot of work done on the house. The house sits on a hill and had slid down over time. There was a six inch drop from one side of the living room to the other. It was bad. If you dropped a ball, it would roll down to one side of the house. They raised the entire house, leveled all my floors, and installed new flooring. As a result of the house sliding down, we also had a lot of cracks in the ceiling, which they also fixed to perfection. When we initially purchased the home, the structural engineer we hired for our inspection, told us our foundation needs serious work. Previous owners had done some mickey mouse patch up work over the years. Pro Tech also redid and secured our foundation. Once they had raised the house, they practically redid our entire foundation. Practically earthquake proof now. We dealt with no delays and I would highly recommend these guys to anyone that needs foundation work, dealing with mudslides, water leaks, new flooring, ceiling repair, or painting. I have found a contractor for life.

We did a major remodeling. Almost a Re-Built for our house. Sonny did a perfect job. He was on time all the time and did not let any work done before he checked him. He was very professional and listened to my wife for any idea . He did introduce a lot of great idea to make our house to look beautiful. Davood Doostzadeh

Pro-Tec Design and construction crew were very detail and professional and experienced. I did major construction for my both master bathroom and 2nd bathroom plus my kitchen. Sonny and his crew are amazing. Very impressed with on time and clean job that they delivered. Highly recommended.

Incredible customer service. The work is immaculate and on time. very professional crew. I defenitely recommend them. My bathroom is gorgeous

For those of you who want the short version: horrible customer service and communication, hired sub-contractor who he had never worked with before, 5 weeks past quoted timeline, unprofessional. For those of you who want the full review: I did a lot a research before hiring Pro-Tec. I was looking for a local contractor who could perform a small sized master bathroom remodel project. The project consisted of demo and haul away, installation of marble tiles, vanities, stand up shower, relocating a wall by a foot and moving the electrical/plumbing, etc. I had three contractors come out and Sonny was the most attentive. He lives very close to my house so he stopped by three times to go over things before the project started. I was impressed and felt he understood what I wanted the most of the three who I met with. He and his company had good reviews online (which now I wonder if they are even real and recent reviews) and his contractor’s license is clear and current with the state board, so I hired him even though he was not the least expensive of the three bids I got. Keeping in mind that I still had to order, pay, and pick up the marble tiles, the vanities, the toilet, and all the fixtures. So my bid was just labor, demo, haul away, installation, and working materials. This company is not full service in that manner. He told me that the project time line would be three weeks and I responded that seemed like a long time for such a small project. He said it was the time he needed and that they may finish sooner but three weeks was what he needed and we agreed upon. He came on the day selected to go over things and the project started shortly after. Every week Sonny would text me asking for a payment and not for any other reason or to check how the project was going. I made the payments as requested even though progress was very slow. Each day a worker or maybe two would arrive around 10am or later (some days not until the late afternoon). Most days it was just one worker. Some days he took days off for personal reasons. No one told us he wasn’t coming. I had to contact Sonny why there was not any work being done at the house. The worker did as much as one person can do in a day. He would stay until 6-7pm most days. On the second week we were concerned and expressed it. We were assured that the worker would be done on time. On the third week we informed Sonny of how disappointed we were with how the project was being handled and that they were nowhere near being done. Again, we were assured the project would be done. Even though at this point the tile hadn’t even been started! Every time we asked, he would say it will be done by the coming Saturday. Everything went from bad to worse from here. I learned that the worker that was doing my project had never worked for Sonny before and that he was a sub-contractor. So even though I hired Pro-Tec and trusted Sonny, he hired someone else he’s never used before to do my project for him. If I wanted some random worker to do my project I could have found that myself and saved time and money. Every time I confronted Sonny about the progress he would blame it on something else which was not true or blame the worker. We have remodeled several times and know the process and timelines for such things so lying to us does not help. It just makes it worse. Now we are on week four and completely irritated when Sonny comes by the house and has the nerve to ask for another payment, I told him that I would not pay another penny until serious progress had been made. The workers being stressed out by Sonny and is trying his best to complete the project but it’s a big job for one person. Some days he’d stay until 11 or 12pm when we really needed him to leave so we could go to sleep. On weeks five, six, seven more of the same. Hardly hearing from Sonny unless I contacted him to complain or ask a question, the worker here 10am-? just trying to get the project done. The worker was visibly frustrated and so were we. We felt trapped in this project and contract with Sonny. This project went on so long (started 4/23 and completed 6/25) we had to cancel several important events that we usually host, Memorial day, Mother’s day, Father’s day, etc. I cannot express how much I regret hiring and trusting this company with my project. Things in my house were damaged during the process due to carelessness; the whole house was a disaster for the time they worked inside and keeping it clean was very difficult. Dust and debris everywhere. Furniture , floors, and stairs started off covered but once it was so dirty and dusty we had to remove it, they never replaced it. A stair banister corner was damaged, it was repaired but it’s not the same. The finish on our floors was damaged and will need to be replaced. They left stains on the driveway from products and leaking trucks, just a mess. Finally, they finished just shy of 8 weeks! The project is done now and it came out fine for the most part. The result is what I’m sure any contractor would do. Nothing great or above and beyond or better than average…just done. The icing on the cake, the night the worker finished doing the last of the touch ups, not even an hour later Sonny texts me asking for the final payment! WOW! This shows the kind of person he is and now you know what you can expect.

Sonny and his team were amazing. The quality of work was exceptional. There were a few things that didn't go as originally planned, but they found alternatives that worked great. I always felt like Sonny did whatever he could to do right by us, especially with the items that were outside of original plan. And he was always available with a quick reply to me when I had questions (which was a lot so that is really saying something!)

Very good. Sonny had excellent communication and his team did excellent high quality work. They had some great ideas that made my original design look even better. They were able to do all of the electrical, plumbing, stone, etc. The only subcontractor that Sonny hired was the company that made the cabinets, (which Sonny coordinated), otherwise all work was done by his team. Very polite and respectful. Kept everything clean. Finished product is excellent!

The moulding and post look beautiful... A little more attention in the paint prep would have made it an A+

At first Sonny seemed to be professional, nice and thorough. After a month and a half, multiple missed commitments, my initial assessment was proven wrong. He did provided pricing via text with very little details. When I asked for a detail proposal the response was why and then I will have it on Monday. Thursday rolls around and no response. Then when I reach out again he asks what do I want in the details? I was very surprised to hear this question. It is a big red flag when a contractor does not want to provide details of a bid. Run away!! My interactions with Pro-Tec ended up being a waist of time.

Sonny Salimi of Pro-Tec Design and Construction was one of four companies that came to my home to discuss my kitchen remodel. Sonny's bid came in at or near the other bids. I wasn't looking for the lowest bid, but for the best result as I made this large investment in my home. My choice to go with Pro-Tec turned out to be the absolute right decision. Sonny had a vision for details that other contractors never saw and those are the little things that make the difference in achieving an outstanding result. My kitchen is beautiful beyond what I expected. Sonny's forman, Sait, is so skilled at everything he does, and was dependable, professional, and very capable. Overall, I couldn't be more please with Sonny and his crew. I am so satisfied with my kitchen redo, that I have hired Sonny to start on my master bath very soon. Can't think of a better way to express my confidence!

Work completed to our satisfaction

We highly recommend Sonny & Protec. After our home incurred a large leak and severe water damage, Protec worked with our insurance company to maximize the estimate. Protec even did an independent ?Exactimate? estimate (the same software the insurance companies use) with more detailed information to raise our claim by 35%. Because of this, we were able to restore our home in better condition than it was. We then worked with Protec to do a full remodel and updated our entire house. This was a tricky process but Sonny was patient and helped us get what we wanted. He even met me at the flooring and kitchen counter/tile stores and helped me with the sales people; we got the best products at his discounted rates, and Sonny suggested ways to lower our costs with his in depth knowledge. Over the course of our long remodel, Sonny and his team actually became our friends. And when our hotel compensation allotment expired, Sonny even volunteered for my family and me to stay with him at his house until the job was finished. What contractor does that!?! Sonny is very responsive and a good communicator. Our house looks great and we are happy.

"Sonny and his team from Pro Tec Construction did a wonderful job on my remodel. I had my master bathroom turned into a luxury spa area and my bedroom fireplace and flooring re-tiled. Not only was his price very fair but the quality and attention to detail was what I really appreciated. I have had remodeling done on my rental properties and a second home and never felt so comfortable with a contractor. Sonny and his team worked hard, kept in good communication, was considerate of the fact that I was living in the house during the project and as a bonus gave me some great design suggestions along the way, all of which I was glad I had done. His team was able to do it all- plumbing, electric, tile, cabinets, counter tops, fireplace, flooring, framing, painting, lighting with no delays waiting for different subs to be scheduled in. Over all I couldn't be happier with his work and highly recommend him for any remodeling."

Sonny's team did a great job. Sonny and his team were always on time and followed through with what they said they were going to do. He stuck right to his bid and even gave me a break on some little items that needed to be added. We completely trust him. His crew was very clean and worked well with our small children running around. Overall, we are very please with the work Pro Tech did!

After an initial visit, I tried via email and phone calls to follow up several times and was simply told they were too busy, or they didn't even respond to my subsequent calls & emails. Will look elsewhere.

He is local, he lives in my neighborhood and he has worked on people on my neighborhood. They show up diligently everyday.

We could not have been more pleased with how the remodeling of our master bathroom turned out, but most of all how the experience went so well. We had heard from others whose remodeling projects were a nightmare because of the contractor and his crew. This was not the case with Pro-Tec Design & Construction, Inc./Sonny Salimi and his employee, Tony, who both went out of their way to advise and deliver a beautiful project. From the very first time, we met Sonny to solicit a bid, we were impressed with his professionalism. He walked in with three references in hand which allowed us to call his former customers who highly recommended him. Sonny even took us to a remodel that was currently happening, and also to the home of a customer whose project had been complete several years ago. Everything they said about Sonny was factual. Sonny has been exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. He was always on time for appointments and his bid came in at the price he had quoted, with no hidden or surprise additional fees. We felt extremely comfortable with his employee, Tony, who single-handedly worked and completed the remodel from demolition to final product. We feel we have made new friends in Sonny, Tony, and Pro-Tech. Aloha, The Gayers Lake Forest, CA

In 2004 Sonny was our contractor to remodel our master bathroom including enlarging the shower, installing a new bathtub, remodeling the sinks, counters and tiling the bathroom floor, shower. The bathroom still looks good after 9 years. Project took 1 week and the house was livable during the remodel. Workmanship was good and the cost was lowest of the contractors that provided estimates. In 2006 Sonny was again our contractor and removed the popcorn in the ceilings of 3 rooms. They removed wallpaper and painted the interior walls and ceilings of six rooms and remodeled and painted the downstairs powder room included changing the sink, counter, toilet and outside bar counter to granite. They remodeled our kitchen ceiling to hold canned lighting. Work was completed in about 10 days. Workmanship quality was good. Paint has held up for 7 years. It still looks good. In 2013 Sonny rebuilt the outside patio cover. Workmanship was good and patio cover appearance is very nice. The tear down of the old cover and rebuild only took one week. Sonny is a delight to work with and he and his crew do excellent work. He offers good ideas and is willing to help you get whatever done you desire. He is fair, his crew is always pleasant and he leaves his jobs clean and neat. We are thinking to remodel our kitchen in the future and will most likely use Sonny to do our remodel.

Friendly - on time - easy to work with - helpful - reasonable costs. Finished on time.
