"King Remodeling is the best - best quality and best to work with! Ilan and every member of his crew are not only very skilled and professional, but polite, personable and responsive to any question I might have. And they are fastidious about cleaning up every night, which I appreciate, as well as kind to my sometimes overly friendly dog. I had a vision of what I wanted, which involved removal of a closet. Several companies I met with started their conversation with reasons why complete removal might not be possible and that, if load bearing, there could be significant cost above the quote provided. In contrast, in my first meeting with Ilan, he started with an explanation of how he would solve any potential load bearing issues and provided a fixed upfront cost comparable to other “starting price” quotes I had received. Ilan’s quote also included custom cabinets, custom countertops and tile backsplash, compared to stock cabinets, pre-fab countertops and no backsplash included in other quotes. So getting exactly what I wanted AND higher quality for the same price or less? It was a no brainer. Extra bonus is that Ilan instantly became a friend, He truly cares about his clients both as clients and as individuals. Although every situation will be different (because these guys are busy!), I was fortunate enough to have design start immediately and actual construction at my house start within a few weeks after signing a contract. Even in the midst of COVID-19 supply backups, because of Ilan’s connections and guidance, my new kitchen will be completed in about a week, less than two months after entering into contract. I am so grateful and excited! Ilan offered input based on his decades of experience, helping me select design features, as well appliances and fixtures that would both fit my budget and maximize enhancement of the finished project. But he also listened to and respected my opinions and preferences, even the few times they were off sync with his. Much thought was put into a design that would work best for me, NOT what would be easiest or the most profitable for the company. As the project progressed and I thought of tweaks and/or additional work I would like (such as relaying floors I had inexpertly installed), the response was always “no problem.” I doubt very many remodels are completed without a couple of bumps in the road. Mine is no exception. But Ilan excels at problem solving and his amazing crew excels at implementing. Each issue encountered was taken in stride and resolved with grace and a smile. When prior poor workmanship and construction defects were discovered along the way, it was a given that those issues would also be remedied and upgraded to ensure a perfect end product. If you are thinking about a remodeling job, big or small, it is an understatement to say that I highly recommend King Remodeling. They are beyond fantastic!!"

"The quality of the final product was good, although I had to stay constantly involved in the project and continually catch mistakes the project manager missed. Our project was supposed to take 6 weeks and ended up taking 13 weeks to complete. We were return customers having used RemodelWorks for another bathroom remodel earlier in the year, but we felt as if rather than rewarding us for our loyalty to them, we became the absolute last priority for them. Early in the project our project manager got a job at another company and our project began falling behind schedule soon after we were assigned a new PM. Rather than working extra to catch up RemodelWorks went with the opposite strategy and would send workers out 2-3 days a week to work on our bathroom and fall even further behind. Incredibly frustrating experience. Could not have felt less valued as a customer. The only olive branch they offered was to offer a vague discount on a future project."

"Excellent work, great prices, easy to work with, very accommodating to requests/changes, extensive knowledge, bathrooms came out amazing and I couldn’t be happier!! Give these guys a chance you won’t be disappointed."

"From drab to fabulous! Eco home Builders did a fantastic job on my main bathroom remodel. I'm a Real Estate Broker and have gone through countless remodels and contractors over the past two decades. Eden did a wonderful job managing the project. Always communicating and being available through the whole project was a huge plus. The contractors did an outstanding job and really paid attention to detail. A lot of large tile pieces went into this project, and I was in very impressed with their skill. We were also impressed with their cabinet maker who did a great job basically building a beautiful piece of art. The project basically went off without a flaw on time and on budget. I would highly recommend Eco Home Builders to anyone thinking of doing any sort of remodel project, I rarely give reviews, but in this case, I felt it was necessary to give kudos that are well deserved. Thank you all for a wonderful job!"

"Outstanding. Quick and painless. And Mark even saved me some money in the process (the final cost came out way less than the quote)."

"The RCD team did a great job. They listened to what I wanted done and executed it perfectly. I had a bathroom that was in dire need of a refresher which included replacing the tub and shower enclosure, removing a wall, relocating a toilet, installing ventilation, rewiring switches and new flooring. The RCD team was fast and professional. I look forward to working with them again in the future."

"Armor Tek did an amazing job on our deck refinishing that was in need of a much needed stripping and resealing. Rich, who performed the work, was amazing and paid attention to every detail on our deck, which was not easy. We would highly recommend Armor Tek for services."

"Set up an appointment with Sabrina. Creative D&B emailed me the day prior to confirm (from Lior Scott), which I did confirm in an email reply. The appointment passed without a call or email. I both called and emailed asking if they were planning on showing up - no response at all. It is now the day after, 3:40P local time and I have still not heard from anyone from Creative D&B. I don't see how someone would want to do business with a company that treats people with such disrespect."

"I really appreciate Arch. Leslie Anderson taking the time to analyze the work my internet provider was planning to do and for offering your insights—all without charging for the consult. It was very kind of you! Thankfully, a tech from the new provider came by today and confirmed that the wire can actually be installed internally, so no need to run it along the exterior walls or bury it in the stucco channel. I also understand now that nothing should be buried in the stucco channel. Thanks again for your time and expertise!"

"Over the last two years we have enjoyed the kitchen and bathroom remodeling work and room addition that SDD&R did for us in the summer of 2016. Our family room has become our main place to hang out and the remodeled kitchen and new family room have been the center of a number of family gatherings and celebrations. Jeremy and Eric were great to work with on this project. They encouraged us to remove a kitchen wall to open it to the dining room and we are so happy we did. They also worked with us to resolve some issues we had with the original house design (i.e., replaced water lines that were in the slab with new lines through the attic, upgraded the electric circuits to the kitchen, included a raised slab for our room addition to address a grade problem in our back yard). With our initial input, they prepared suggested designs and layouts for our kitchen and bathroom remodels, and then we worked with them to revise these to exactly what we wanted in the finished product. Once these designs were finalized, they provided us with firm costs for the project, which were very competitive and a great value. They also provided us with several references at which we checked out the work that they had been done. Based on these references, we believed that Jeremy and Eric could deliver the finished product, and we liked the designs and costs, so we proceeded to contract with them. They directed us to a separate design company to prepare the drawings for the room addition. They provided us a list of what products we needed to pick out (e.g., plumbing fixtures, paint colors, tile, lighting, ceiling fans, kitchen and bathroom accessories) and a schedule for when they would need them. Also, they utilized a number of sub-contractors (e.g., tile, roof, framing, stucco, countertops, cabinets, painting) that provided great finished products. They also coordinated with several other contractors that we decided to use for flooring, asbestos removal, windows, HVAC, and Solatube installation. As in every project of this scope, there were some issues to deal with along the way, but they were quickly resolved. SDD&R gutted the kitchen and bathrooms to the studs rather than cutting and patching the drywall. We believe this made for a better finish and also allowed us to have them reinforce many of the areas in the bathrooms where we wanted to install towel racks and grab bars. The cabinets and quartz countertops we got through them are of superior quality and these were used in the kitchen and bathrooms and hallway and laundry cabinets. They even installed a cabinet in the hallway location that formerly housed our whole house heater, which we had just previously moved to the attic. This work took from the beginning of June through mid-September to complete, which was pretty close to the schedule they had provided us. They used progress payments through the duration of the project and these were based upon specific activities that had been completed. This worked out well for us. Overall, this was a project that was well run and had a quality result and we would highly recommend SDD&R to others to check out for their remodeling projects."
