Father And Sons Remodeling

It went well! For us this was a huge decision since we only have one bathroom and were terrified of being without. Fand S's were great and left us with a toilet as much as possible. We have been burned on other home improvement jobs so this was a nice experience and we love our bathroom.

General: Came in under estimate since we decided to put second coat of paint on ourselves and to re-paint the cabinets ourselves. We also did some of the demolition (removing mirrors and countertops) as well as disconnecting/connecting lighting and the plumbing to the sinks. Worked with Fand S to describe the changes and they provided itemized estimate. We ordered lighting, plumbing fixtures, sinks, and spa bath. Fand S is happy to do this, but we had very specific ideas in mind on what we wanted. Impressed with work for several reasons: - protected bedroom from dust by covering furniture and floor with plastic - covered bathroom floor tile with paper to protect it - carpentry was solid and well considered - tiling was also well thought out so that it doesn't look chopped up and flows from/to the shower, spa, and window as a single job. - shower pan and shower were well built and water-proofed appropriately to ensure no future water incursion. Throughout the job, Fand S worked with us when they had any areas of concern and to ensure the installation and design was as we expected. Additional comments: We chose the tile before work began and directed Fand S to get tile from the store where we found the tile. Fand S felt the cost was surprisingly high and felt they could find it for much less. They spent a good amount of time to find the same tile at about one third the cost, saving us $3500. The counter top slab (silestone) was just inches short of being a single piece for one of the counters, so Fand S called and asked how we would like to handle (two pieces with center join or join at one of the ends or elsewhere). We asked them to fabricate a shelf at one end (near the sink and against the wall) that was even with the backsplash, to hid the join. The first 'shelf' was not satisfactory, so they rebuilt it without question. Fand S took the old mirror glass to the dump (we had done the demolition). The broken glass was in a plastic tub. They inadvertantly forgot the tub at the dump, but bought a new one for us once they discovered the mistake. We called Fand S back for two minor problems that came up after they completed work and been paid. One was the shower valve didn't work correctly and they found the valve was installed upside down. The other was the grout next to the spa bath began to crack and the replaced with a flexible grout of the same color. Working with Fand S: Fand S apprised us of schedule (time and days) they would be at the house and always showed up or called to reset schedule. At end of day, job site was always clean and organized. Fand S is friendly, easy to work with, and we always get along very well. We have been extremely satisfied with the work they've done for us and have recommended them to friends. Everyone on the jobsite is happy to work with you, but Jesse organizes the jobs and is always available by phone to discuss. If they are uncertain exactly how you want something to look, whether it will work well, or how it should be done, they will ask and make recommendations.

They were professional, clean, competent, timely and skilled. Work performed per budget on time and with minimum of inconvenience. While doing the work, an alarm wire was inadvertently cut and the alarm company had to be called to repair it. Father's and Son's was very apologetic and reimbursed us for the cost of repairing the alarm work, no questions asked.

The Company is run by two brothers and there are a couple of folks that work with them. They have probably done about 7 jobs for me, so I like them a lot. They work with me and their prices are really good. They are very good at what they do and I am very happy with them. I spent about $8,000 on the last job done by them and I think that they are better than fair on price. They are guys I can trust and do good work. They are going to come out here again in a couple of weeks.

Project went very well. They were very professional and very easy to work with. We will be using them for any future remodeling we do.

We have used them before. They were slow to respond initially but after the initial response they did an excellent job. They consulted with us all along the way and finished on time and on budget.

We are very happy with our new kitchen and with Father and Son Remodeling. There were 4 crews that worked consecutively; carpentry and installation, painting, countertop, and tiling/plumbing/finish. With one exception I was impressed with the workmanship. We had initial issues with the countertop, but they were resolved (see below). The carpentry was excellent. Although each appliance required changes in the custom cabinets, it all appears as though the cabinets were built around the appliances. During the job, we found the new microwave required 2 inches more depth. Since the wall behind the cabinet was load bearing it was not easily modified. With our agreement, they initially added trim around the microwave, but we decided it would look better if the entire cabinet was brought forward 3 inches. We agreed on a price and two days later you couldn't tell that 3 inches were added to the depth except by measuring. This is a complex, stylized, custom cabinet with rounded corners and special trim, but they took it apart nail by nail and put it back together without a seam. The exterior cabinets were spray painted and the preparation and precautions taken to ensure no overspray on other items was excellent. The ceiling was also touched up due to the change in lighting and the texture and touch-up were matched well to the original. We did some of the work that was included in the original estimate (plumbing and dishwasher installation) and recognizing this Father and Son 'traded' us even for the carpentry work done for most of the new appliances. There were issues with the countertops. These were resolved satisfactorily. In the end, we asked that the original 'counterman' not be used and Father and Son agreed. -In one case, a counter that should have been one piece had a 10" piece epoxyed at one end. Father and Son also noticed this and said they already planned to replace with a single piece - no additional cost. -In one of the undermount sinks, the hole was cut using the overmount template and left an unsightly ring of a half inch. We agreed to pay for half of the material to replace the countertop and correct the size of the cutout. -We found that the sinks had not been properly attached and supported to the countertop. This was corrected.

I have recommended them to 5 of my friends and I will use them again in the future.

This is the third bathroom remodel Fand S has done for us. They have always done excellent work. I will use them again for other residential projects and recommend them highly.

I probably wouldn’t use if I had any work done. They weren’t very thorough and they didn’t have the best way to fix what needed to be fixed compared to other contractors.

They were very slow with their response. Their estimate came 2 or 3 weeks after they came to my house and I didn't want to proceed with the work based upon their response. Time was important to me. They didn't actually do any work. They were not as good as the other company.

Extremely happy with the quality of the work done. Very polite and curteous from the day they came over to make an estimate to the day they finished. I will definately hire them again.

They always arrive on time. Work hard all day. Leave everything clean when leaving. Took one day to remove all old tile. One day to put in the new tile. Looks great.

They are always prompt and keep areas very clean. The finished floor looks amazing. They did a great job installing, cutting and grouting the tile. I requested they make the grout lines as small as possible and they did that well also. I was not aware there were two vinyl floors. They did not charge extra for the removal of two floors instead of one. This of course made their job harder and longer than was expected. I was impressed and thankful.

Exceptional quality of work. Very adaptable to small changes on the fly and didn't modify costs because of it. Bulk of the work performed in two days with some minor details completed on the 3rd. Cleaned up well. Disposed of some additional things we needed to get rid of with no addition to the cost. Couldn't be happier.

This was a very good experience and we have asked for a estimate to do more work.

The job took over a week only because Father and Son's pay close attention to detail and they do the job right the first time.

We had a difficult time finding anyone willing to come and do the small amount of sheetrock work we needed. I checked The List and called several companies. Jesse Garza from Father and Sons came the next day. He was punctual, very courteous and very professional. We were so impressed when he said they could start the next week that we decided to have the slate floor removed, too. Their price was also very reasonable. They came early Monday morning, covered everything in plastic and spent 2 hard days of work taking up the tile. It was a dirty time-consuming job but they never stopped. The replacement of the sheetrock and insulation and the painting went very well, too. They cleaned up everything after themselves every day, showed up on time and spent a considerable amount of time being sure that things were done just the way I wanted them to be. They even painted a lot of things I didn't expect them to do! Jesse was here working every day, so it's a small team.

I would recommend them to anyone looking to remodel.

They never gave me an estimate, he told me it would be 8 months before they could come out and do the job. He told me call them back if I still wanted the job back then.

Everything was completed as per the defined scope of work. Jesse and his crew did a good job of cleaning up when the project was completed. Everything that was removed was hauled away for disposal

On 10/29/07 I called Jesse to request an estimate. We set up November 1st as our appointment. Jesse came and listened to everything we wanted done to our Master Bath. As of today I have not seen a proposal nor heard from Jesse. Am looking at other contractors.

Jesse and his family were extremely professional and courteous. They arrived exactly as promised. They made sure to put down tarps to keep areas clean. Everything was cleaned up prior to them leaving. Job was completed in a timely manner. They did an excellent job on everything.

Sears' installers were unable to do the work necessary to increase the cutout size and said I'd have to have it done. I found Father and Son's Remodeling on Angie's List and called because it appeared they would be able to do all three parts of the job. Mr. Garza realized I would be unable to cook until all this was done so came by Thursday evening to see exactly what was involved. He came by Sunday, was prompt, well prepared and did a great job.
