Lorenzo Remodeling LLC

Brilliant work. Look at the beginning, in progress and FINAL picture of the building. Edward is a PRO. Use him. He might cost a little bit more but it is worth it. So you want to go with teh low bid and get a GARBAGE job. I read one complaint about Edward on Angie's List from somebody that didnt even hire him. How stupid is that. You didnt hire him but you want to complain. I bet you wanted him to do a lot of FREE work or have him spend 5 horus to come up with some detail 50 page specification contract just so you can use it to have some other cheaper contractor do the job. I wish i would delete that junk complaint myself. Dino Marcaccio. 281-788-5879.

Provider came out as planned. Some of the repairs were insurance related, other repairs were not. Instead of writing an estimate, provider wanted to "work" off of my insurance company estimate. I have not received any estimate nor any communication from this provider.

Edward (I keep wanting to call him Lorenzo but that's his last name) and his crew did a fantastic job remodeling our upstairs bathroom. The bathroom had to be gutted down to the studs and completely redone, almost nothing was usable, and they tore through it quickly and professionally. We had no idea what we were doing in terms of picking tile and vanity and all that and Edward and his super (can't remember his name) were incredibly helpful with guiding us through the process. This was a very awkward space (attic bathroom) and they made it look fantastic. 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.

Mr. Lorenzo was very prompt & specific with his estimates. The work done was impeccable. No mess..things were kept very tidy throughout the project. The team spent time with me to go over what I wanted providing information about what could be safely be done & what would look good. The finished product was perfect. What I especially liked about Mr. Lorenzo was that he was very concerned about the safety of the wall and advised me not to open up the whole wall even though it might have been a more lucrative deal for him. I would not hesitate to use this company for a project.

Great people very nice. Showed up on time. The kitchen "design" was just a sketch on a piece of paper and an estimate. I really liked them but the "Angie's deal" wasn't worth it.

I used an Angie's list coupon to have Lorenzo assess a kitchen remodel. He arrived on time and began making disparaging comments on the value of renovating a home in an area where many single family dwelling are torn down for new construction. The conversation was overall depressing and I decided I would not want to work with this business

They plaster little squares onto the brick to make it look like stone. They did a really good job. The work was very meticulous. There were a lot of cuts involved to make it look perfect. When you look it at, it looks natural. I am very pleased with the results.

Lorenzo Painting & Remodeling was very professional and explained everything in detail. He had some pretty good ideas in terms of design for the kitchen and bathroom and it'll be something to hold on to, but it was more than we wanted to spend. He was very friendly and had good information. He had some pictures to look at so we could see some of the work he had done and it looked like quality work. When he scheduled to be here, he was here at the exact time.

Lorenzo Painting & Remodeling came out immediately after calling them. They are so professional and always see just the smallest little detail. They see things that you don't even see. They are so prompt and responsive. They can just do anything for you. They're really a top notch company. I had already recommended them to other people.

The owner came and was very professional. He got back to us in a timely manner w/a bid. I understand that his time is valuable and felt the money was well spent. We did go with a different contractor for the remodel.

I am giving Eduardo Lorenzo an overall rating of D because of his unprofessional and argumentative attitude and the communication is awful! 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.

Mr. Lorenzo visited the building we plan to build out so we requested that he provide us with an estimate and review the changes we planned to make to the building. Keep in mind that we need a build out of 22x30' (660 sq ft.) of interior space, paint, install some basic carpet, move some walls (non-load bearing) in the existing space, A/C increase and add a very small kitchenette. We instructed that we did not want to purchase high end finishes as it is not a retail space and we're leasing it. Most of the interior space is existing. If I allocate the cost across all of the interior space because the quote did not include any changes to the shop area...that is 1920' of existing interior space at $45,000 or cost of $23.43 to build out each square foot of interior space...and most of it is existing! It tells me that his quote was not serious and he didn't really want the job. He did not even break out labor and materials. He did seem competent and professional until I received the bid. We were very disappointed because we would have easily hired him had the bid seemed serious.

He was pleasant and I thought he did a good job in talking about the options for the what we were doing but we're ready to do it at that time. He was a personable guy, seemed to be knowledgeable and reasonable guy. He was nice, polite, he wasn't rude and he's very positive about what his company could do. He's very responsive.

I calleed Mr. Lorenzo for a estimate on an exterior paint job for my home. I needed him to come out on a weekend and I was told by his staff that he was able to come out on a Sunday, however they could not give me an exact time frame. I was ok with that. I received a call from Mr. Lorenzo around 11:45 a.m. on Sunday and we agreed to meet at 4:30p.m. that same day. Around 1:30 p.m. I missed Mr. Lorenzo call and returned his call with in 30 minutes. He wanted to change the time. Once I got in contact with him I was told by Mr. Lorenzo that he did not need to do business with some that could not answer his call and basically I (the customer) was fired before the job ever began. Mr. Lorezno does not a have a customer friendly attitude and if you want to work with hine it seems you must be on his watch which is not very reliable.

I really liked him. He called to tell me he was running about 5 mins late (he arrived 3 mins later--very bad weather here today). He had some great ideas/suggestions for the kitchen and bath that I had not thought of. Very thorough walk-through, and he answered every question I asked and was knowledgeable about products I was considering. He paid attention to everything I told him and easily understood the "vision" I have for our home. I had a different company here yesterday and felt very deflated afterwards, NOT the case with Mr. Lorenzo. I am looking very forward to seeing his bid and will probably go with him even if it's higher than the other bids I get because he understood how I want my home to look, and that is as important to me as the cost of the project.

Quality of work overall good. There could have been better communications between us and the business.

I had some ideas and Mr. Lorenzo had some ideas, and he was able to give me an itemized bid on the project. I'm on a budget, and the itemized bid allows me to select the part of the bid that I need the most, changing an unused shower stall to an area for a stack washer and dryer, and do that first and then we can do some of the other things a little at a time. I had a big wish list, and I knew I'd wished for more than my budget could cover. I haven't scheduled the work yet - the holidays have interferred with my planning, but I will in the near future. 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.

We scheduled a time for Edward Lorenzo to come out (we were impressed with the flexibility). He came and took measurements and discussed the job with us. Originally, we were hoping to have the existing sidelights patched and just change the door, but when he came out, he said that we would have to tear it all out. It was rotted and not safe to patch up. This was the first time we had heard this and appreciated his honesty. So many will tell you what you want to hear to get the job (and not risk losing it) or give you an estimate over the phone and let you buy materials for a job they have not even seen in person (yeah, that happened). We started shopping for a solid door with sidelights and were shocked by how much they cost. The cheapest we found was $2,400. Immediately, Edward said he would take care of it and made some phone calls. He ordered it for us and it cost $1,300 (including the factory stain and seal). It took a while to come in, but no one could control that and it was during holiday time. They were very flexible with the installation time. They came out on a Thursday, but when the company they purchased the unit from delivered it, it was realized the unit did not fit. Edward immediately called us and explained the error from the company. We understood these things happen but were concerned with the timeline. He assured us he would redo the sidelights himself in his work shop and promised to have it installed by the weekend's end. Since Saturday had rain all day, they came right on time Sunday morning and finished before evening hit. It is gorgeous and we cannot stop staring at it. I included a picture. We will have them back at the end of the month to do more for us. This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship, as we have some big projects (i.e. back patio and master bath reno) coming up and we need someone we can trust.

Edward Lorenzo, the owner of the company, and Claudio, the job foreman, were a pleasure to work with. We were dreading the ordeal of remodeling our home, but it actually turned out to be a great experience. I don't think we have ever worked with a more professional contractor. We had a wish list of things we wanted done, and Edward bid each item for us so we could prioritize what we wanted completed. However, he remained flexible during the job and accommodated any changes we wanted to make. His crew showed up the day after we signed the contract and worked like a swarm of bees. Each job was meticulously completed. Edward and Claudio even noticed small things that I would never have noticed and repaired them. Their attention to detail was amazing. Also because of their experience, they gave us invaluable advice on many aspects of the project. In addition, they would tell us if they felt something could be completed in a way that would save us money even if it meant they would receive less for the job. They did small things like surprising us with a granite cutting board they made from a remnant to match our kitchen counters. Their workers would rush to help us carry in materials we had purchased. The crew would immediately stop working and turn down their radios if we needed to speak with Edward or Claudio. The project was competed in the exact amount of time they initially indicated and would have been completed ahead of time if it weren't for a slight delay in the arrival of our new windows. It was really a pain free process. Edward and Claudio kept assuring us that it was their job to make sure everything ran smoothly, and they were true to their word. Edward kept us informed throughout the process, and the payment plan was fair and well documented. Each time a payment was made, he would give us a signed, detailed receipt. He did not expect the final payment until we were satisfied with the job. We look forward to working with him in the future and would highly recommend his work.

I contacted Mr. Lorenzo for an estimate for the following handyman services: 1 shower regrouted, 6" inch minor sheet rock repair, replacement of 2 ceramic tiles , install 1 faux wood blind, fill in 1/2 gap between granite countertop and refrigerator, replace 1 small strip of cabinet baseboard, cut 1/4 inch in wood panel trim on one side of refrigerator so so fridge could slide in all the way. Now over the years, I have done a lot of work to my house and have a rough idea what home repairs should cost. I estimated that it would take a handyman about one day to complete this minor job. Therefore, I was completely shocked when Mr. Lorenzo came back with an estimate of $1,700.00. This bid was more than tripple the amount I received from 2 other handymen. Now I completely understand that bids can vary among repairmen, but more than tripple is ridiculous. I felt I like he was trying to rip me off. Needless to say, I did not use Mr. Lorenzo's services. I used one of the other bids and the handyman completed everything in one day and even added a two valve faucet underneath my sink for a total labor cost of $420.00 ( I purchased about $75.00 worth of supplies). I will end this by saying "buyer beware." This experience prooves its always a good idea to get at least 3 estimates even on those minor jobs.

Because this project required work in almost all areas of remodeling, I got to see how they work on everything and am VERY happy with their work. They were punctual, professional, paid attention to detail, worked hard and were trustworthy and had the right advice and questions at the right time. It was very easy to work with Edward and his crew, which is very important with a project of this magnitude. We have other projects in the pipeline on other properties and plan on using Edward and his team as much as possible because they do fantastic work for a reasonalble price.

He is excellent! He stands behind his work. We are very pleased with both of the jobs he did. He crew was on top of it. If I ever had a problem, he took care of it. They did not cut any corners at all. I am very happy with his services.

Mr. Lorenzo and his team showed up on time, were very efficient in doing the work, cleaned up after themselves, did an excellent job, were responsive and attentive. We will use them again for future work.
