Best fountain pros near Yucaipa, CA

"Very professional. I am happy with the finished product."

"I wasn't happy with it, and I had to have them back out a couple of times. It is not a big deal, it happened a year ago. I paid them cash $1000, I paid them a check and they said they never got the check, I had to send them copies of the check. Their accounting department leaves a little to be desired. I wasn't happy with the work and the aftermath. I would not use them again. "

"Excellent, respectful of property, careful with work!!!"

"From the time I contacted Kevin to the time the job was completed, SGB was fantastic.  I needed a very small master bathroom in an old house gutted and built from the ground up.  As this is a rental, my budget was very limited.  Kevin told me what he could do and what I would provide so he could meet the price I requested.  Kevin, along with his team worked miracles.  There were some plumbing issues that came up and Kevin handled all of them by communicating with me and giving me honest and accurate estimates of how much time this would put us back.  Not living in the house while the work was being performed was a new thing for me and I was nervous about workers being in the home when I was not.  My fears were unfounded.  Kevin and his team only used the french door leading to the bedroom and taped the bedroom door closed so dust and people couldn't use the rest of the house.  The work site was kept spotless.
The master bath turned out more beautifully than I could have imagined.  Amazing results with the budget I gave him.   As with any project, things go wrong ~ and they did in this case also. The door was put on "backwards", swinging the opposite way we had talked about.  I called Kevin and he was out there within a couple days to completely redo it.  It was a whole day job and he and his team completed it beautifully and timely, even though I know it affected his schedule.  I plan to use SGB for renovations to my new home.  Thank you Kevin and Angelo and team.

"Originally they were very good they just never come back and taken care of any of the other work, they were good at the very beginning, they were on top of every thing at the very beginning but after they did the initial work and they needed to come back an did touch ups they never come back and done anything more, I can't get them to come back and do anything more.

They are way over priced compare to what they should be and I didn't realize it at the time but when I found out afterwards it was too late."

"EXCELLENT, PROFESSIONAL VERY HARD WORKERS AND THE PRICE COMPARED TO OTHER ESTIMATES YOU COULDN'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE. I DECIDED FOR A REFLEXION OR MEDITATION POND (NO FISH) WITH NATURAL ROCK, THIS WAS LLOYD'S SUGGESTION AND I'M SOOO GLAD I LISTEN TO HIM. IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND RELAXING, THE NOISE OF THE WATERFALL IS STRONG JUST LIKE I WANTED. WE ARE IN THE DESERT SO THIS LITTLE PARADISE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY, THEY ALSO DID THE PATIO PAVERS, WHICH COMPLETED THE LOOK. I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN WITH SHUBERT ENTERPRISES,. THANK YOU LLOYD AND CREW FOR A WONDERFUL JOB"

"We had a major flood that absolutely destroyed our house. The dry out company the insurance sent, was horrible and caused more damage. We called finest first construction and they saved us! In an already stressful and unpredictable situation, Norman absolutely took care of us! He dried out our house and over the next 6 months, completely remodeled our home, (3,400 square feet). Norman was honest, always gave us honest numbers and ran everything past us before doing anything. Even his design ideas were a homerun and our remodel was stellar!!! If you want an honest, communicative, knowledgeable, and brilliant contractor, call finest first! They truly live their name!"

"highly recommend Tomas and Sky Renovation to anyone looking for a reputable, professional and honest company."

"Manny does excellent quality work. His prices are very reasonable. I would use him again and I highly recommend him for ANY construction or remodeling work. He leaves the work site broom clean at night."

"Before remodel, we had 1440sqft of living space; afterward we had 1891sqft, but it made the whole house "work" better and feel bigger.  Also, the roof space increased by 1,000sqft, which enatiled much more work than the additional 450sqft represents.

We feel lucky to have found Anthony Fiore as our contractor. He was recommended to me by a friend at work, and he made the entire project as pain-free as it could be.  He stayed in constant communication with us, worked with us on changes in scope, and helped find reasonable and affordable solutions to unforeseen problems.

We spent a lot of time up front thinking about what we wanted, getting information on materials and other costs, and assessing our financial risk. We even created a 3D model of our house and fiddled with it for a good year so we could see the impacts of the structural changes to the existing house and evaluate approaches to problems. (Here, I have to plug the fabulous FREE modeling app we used, which was Google Sketchup.) 

Maybe that's overkill, but it enabled us to try different things, know the limitations, and do our own rough calc on what we should expect to pay for materials.  But mostly, we figured that since remodelling a house is a huge hassle and a seriuoous expense--and WE were the ones who would have to live witht the results--we wanted to give ourselves every opportunity to explore the potential upsides and the possible downsides.

We then put together a package of dimensioned views and requested bids from 5 contractors.  Each bidder had the EXACT same package to use for their bid, but they still came in with a $50K spread between the highest and lowest bids.

Like most people, we chose the lowest bid, but only after calling all 10 of his references and getting glowing reviews of his attention to detail and his excellent management of the project. He was also the only one who provided references with his initial bid.

After we engaged Fiorebuilt, we modified the scope to include vaulted ceilings, an upgraded electric panel and upgraded roofing materials--all of which increased the price considerably, yet it was still well below the two highest original bids, which did not even include that work. So we were confident that we could tolerate (financially) the remaining uknown risks.

Our final calculation of the cost per sqft, when considering the extra roofing footprint and work done on on walls that went down to studs came in at what we'd expected to pay when we started the project. And what people often forget is that time plays a huge role in how well the project goes.  Anthony's crew showed up every day, on time and worked hard. Between his management of the project and their diligent effort we are one week away from finished after just 11 weeks.  That is a HUGE boon to us!

Because we're pretty handy, we planned to do some parts of the work ourselves to save cost--like running Cat5 wire and coax through the walls, setting the fireplace and stove vents, and similar "detail" work.  We made sure Anthony was always aware of our plans and he worked to accommodate all of our many (many!) reqests. He offered advice and recommended resources as needed.  He even came out on a Sunday to check out some plumbing we'd done to make sure it was up to code and wouldn't interfere with the work he was doing.

In sum, I'm taking the time and trouble to write this review because we've all heard horror stories about bad remodel experiences.  I want people to know that there are some contractors who can make it a worthwhile endeavor.  I think of Fiorebuilt as the "gold standard."  I know that from now on, if we want anything done to our house, Anthony Fiore will be our first phone call--and probably the only call we'll need to make. 

If anyone belongs on the Pages of Happiness, Fiorebuilt Construction certainly DOES!"
