A special note needs to be made for two things. One was our toilet flange. Our drain pipe is a much older style, a lead drainpipe, and it was very poorly positioned and the last installers must have been high to have done what they did. Fixing this could have costed an enormous amount, but Edward and his crew figured out a clever and effective way to properly mount it and bring it up to code.
The second special note was that during the install we noticed our main water line had started leaking fairly heavily. This main was very old and probably hadn't been closed in decades, and the initial closing may have finished it off. Edward was able to get a plumber out very fast and replaced the whole line, this was done the day before we left for our honeymoon and I was/am super impressed how fast he got someone out there to fix this. Moreover, we noticed a small issue with the angle of one of the pipes after the install (it looks like the pipe had a bit of torque on it at a join) and after finishing the project his crew redid the piping free of charge and sorted us out.
The overall cost was very reasonable for the amount of work that had to be done, none of the other quotes I got were anywhere near his. There were some small cost overruns due to some unexpected work, but that was totally to be expected since the original work was so shoddy.
I would definitely use his guys for any future project.
Edwardo Lorenzo and all of his crew were extremely professional and polite. Took care from day one to put down tarps in any area they would be working or walking. When working outside (cutting cement board, tile, etc.) they washed down the driveway at the end of each day. He stayed on budget and explained the process as often as we needed. We picked tile and hardware from his suppliers. Saw the retail on each item. He would then purchase the materials and show us his invoice. saved us about 40% off of the prices were given as retail customers.
The attention to detail was awesome. We had a foreman on site about 80% of the time. Lorenzo came by 2-3 days a week to check on the progress and the quality of work. Total remodel took twenty working days. They worked Monday through Saturday.
We are very impressed with the scope and quality of work. Everyone was so polite and never complained. Our master bath is on a second story. Carrying all the materials up and down 50 times a day without complaint one.
We have already discussed with Lorenzo about our next job we want him to do.
I was a little hesitant in regards to using a contractor again due to a previous bad experience, however, I am glad that I took a leap of faith. Lorenzo Painting & Remodeling was a breathe of fresh air and restored my faith in contractors. They repaired, beautifully, eye sores that were not completed professionally by a previous subcontractor. They were on time and worked diligently without many breaks, if any. They came to work each day pleasant and professional. They worked each day until there was not anything else that could be done that day (e.g., paint needed to dry before 2nd coat, tile needed to set before grout could be applied, etc.). [My previous contractor would arrive at different times and would leave by 2pm or 3pm regardless of the amount of work that still needed to be done].
I was really impressed with how Lorenzo Painting planned out the strategy for tackling the job in the most efficient manner. Most importantly, they respected my home by using drop cloths wherever they worked and they cleaned up any mess created as they worked. I would definitely use them again. Pricing is reasonable, but not the cheapest...but then again, you get what you pay for.
My husband I and I decided to remodel our outdated master bathroom. We purchase the Angie?s List $99 Kitchen or Bathroom Design and Consultation from Lorenzo Painting. Since we?ve never had a bathroom remodel we wanted something more than a quote ? didn?t get it. DON?T BUY THE $99 CONSULTATION! It?s nothing more than an estimate.
We did get other estimates but decided to go with Lorenzo due to timeframe ? another mistake. We were told that the job would take 1-1/2 to 2 weeks it took 19 days. We were told we?d have our bathroom back by Good Friday, 30 March but they didn?t finish until Saturday, 6 April.
I agree with the review on April 10th, bid was horrible. The work was not listed by line item. Written like a paragraph. Another example of his awful communication. I recently got a bid from another company to remodel our kitchen and everything was listed by line item with a price for each item.
First indication of a problem was when I asked to see a picture or diagram (anything) of what the shower doors were going to look like. He told me that in his 30 years of remodeling no one has ever asked to see a picture or an example of what was going to be permanently installed in their home, REALLY? I told him I didn?t want anything installed in my home without looking at it first. I couldn?t believe what I was hearing.
Second incident, he said his crew would be at our home the Saturday before Easter and when noon rolled around and no one showed, my husband called and he and said he never agreed to anyone working that day ? total lie!
One of the three light fixtures was not hung properly; completely off center of the mirror and lower than the other two. I had to pay someone else to come out and fix.
Last day of the job, Eduardo Lorenzo (the owner) did not do a final walk through. He had his foreman ask me for the final payment. Completely unprofessional! He never even called us to find out if we?re satisfied with the work or if we had any questions or concerns.
We do not recommend this company.
"When I bidded on this job for [member name removed] we talked about the time frame of the job and I told both that it would take about 2-3 weeks because we had to make the caultured marble from scrach and also have the bathroom picure window custom made, none of those 2 items could have been donewith-in 2 weeks I told them that, we took the time to make [member name removed] a sample of the cultured marble color to match the tile sample they gave me to match, most companies would have took 2 weeks just to give her the samples, after my forman told [member name removed]that the tub was going in the next day she called me and told me that she did not want the tub installed until she saw it first and I asked her what was it that she needed to see because the tub was already to the color that she had already oked and I was not going to have the worked stoped just because she wanted to see it first, I guess that were the problems started from and it went down hill from there, I was also told by [member name removed] that she wanted all the lights to be on a seperate switches which they were not at the time we started, she said that they had told me about at the begining, I told her that it was ture we did talk about but that all he did about that subject is talk about it I was never told to do it so it was not on my bid, well she started getting mad about so I had my forman do the work for free which cost me some extra money for labor & material, we were also delayed because we had to replace the rotten studs on the 2 tub walls, about the Saturday he saids that we did not show up well I know that I said that we would be there but I had forgot that it was good Friday & Easter weekend and we did have a key to the property to go in & out as we needed too so I don't know what the problem was he did not have to wait for us to let us in, the problem was that [member name removed]wanted to use the tub before we were even finish with the work, [member name removed] always had to make changes after we had finish certin jobs and not tell us what she really wanted before we did the work, she have a very bad attitude with me when she could not get her way with me, if a person has a bad attitude with me I show them the same type of attitude they confronted me with, as far as for the bid on the kitchen I did not want to do any more work for these people because of my experiances with them especily [member name removed], [member name removed] asked me for a rough verbal estimate to do the kitchen several times and I finally gave him a verbal price which I told my guys that we were not going to do any more work for these people because I had enough, [member name removed] had enough time to look over the job and write up a punch list if they wanted to but they did not and as for my forman getting the last check he was one of my formans and what is wrong with that? I am glad that this is over and forgotten, good luck on any other contractor who's does any work for these people."
Mr. Lorenzo was very helpful, had good ideas and returned the bid to me in less than a week, which I thought was quite remarkable.
