When it came time to remodel our kitchen, we did our research and decided to work with 5blox. From the start, I appreciated how proactive and communicative they were. Each day, they kept us updated on what was happening, who would be at the house, and what to expect. Any concerns or questions I had were answered immediately, and they worked closely with us to ensure we got exactly what we wanted within our space. What really stood out to me was their willingness to collaborate. They didn't just stop at the design; they helped us with everything, even coordinating with electricians and plumbers when needed. The daily communication was something I wasn't expecting, and it truly made a difference. Although the project did run a bit longer than initially planned--due to holidays and some weather delays--we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Our new kitchen is everything we envisioned and more. We couldn't be happier with 5blox, and I highly recommend them for anyone looking to remodel! read more

We hired 5blox to remodel our home, including relocating the kitchen and reworking the drainage in a slab foundation--no small task! While the process could have been a major headache, 5blox handled everything for us, making it as stress-free as possible. We updated all the electrical, plumbing, roof, and they took care of all the permitting, which was such a relief. They even came up with a brilliant solution to squeeze an island into our small kitchen space, and we absolutely love the new layout of our home. Photo attached for reference! The attention to detail, creative problem-solving, and professionalism throughout the project were outstanding. This review is long overdue. I highly recommend 5blox to anyone considering a remodel. read more

5blox - Remodeled Kitchen by 5blox - General Contractors Near Me - SAN PEDRO, California

The renovation on our house is almost complete. Just weeks from being done. And I only have good things to say. This was a fairly large project and it went pretty smoothly. Only a few minor things popped up but you cannot do this kind of work to a house and not have a few issues. However, Eden, the owner of 5blox made sure that things were taken care of immediately. We had half the house demolished and added a second story with some additional square footage downstairs. We had the floors in the entire house redone as well. We replaced the majority of the windows in the house. I added a few photos so you can get an idea of what we did to the house. Once the final bathroom is complete, we will have 3 brand new bathrooms. The kitchen is a completely brand new kitchen, and the house now has 4 bedrooms. We added a few custom things to the house, like a dog grooming station and a dog feeding station just to mention a couple of things. We never had to worry about what was going on. The crew always showed up and sometimes worked 6 days a week, putting in some long days. Thank you again! Our home is beautiful! read more

Came to my home -young inexperienced with how to treat potential clients -they don't have engineering team only will follow a plan if you already have one so basically they can paint and install floors and charge under guise of remodel. All pictures on this site are software replicas not actual work they've done -very disappointed -had to ask salesman to please leave because he made me uncomfortable-something shady about 5box read more

The most professional efficient & incredible company I had the pleasure of working with. They took the time to read my never ending wishlists for our house!! They understood what I wanted and all of my visions came to life. Ever so flexible always on time ready to work and preform. Truly an amazing experience!! Couldn't recommend more!!! read more

The process of searching for a professional and a trusted contractor to remodel your kitchen is extremely stressful. It's a job that many professionals got to perform synchronized at the same time and a supervisor must be on job site to make sure it's done well. When I met Eden I knew he is the supervisor I was looking for. He is patient, professional and very enthusiastic about his profession. He helped me to design my new kitchen and did me a 3D Design so it will be clear and visual how it will look when it was done. During the job he was supervising every step and what I specially liked is that we had a group message with all the people involved in the job that was updated daily. He finished the project on time and the results are beautiful! What a kitchen! Wow I definitely going to use Eden from Smart Homes for my next projects! read more

5blox - Kitchen remodel - General Contractors Near Me - SAN PEDRO, California

I am only giving a star 1 for good reason. Never received a written estimate. In fact this is what I was told:" calm down lady your having a NERVOUS BREAKDOWN "! How insulting the comment was. I got a "I am sorry" would any of you want a owner or I think Senior Consultant calling you or saying anything negative about you? Never did get a break down and written estimate. This way they can jack up their prices. I needed a lot of work done. Needless to say, they lost out on $30k. Will go with a much better professional construction company. Christine read more

Great company! Smart Homes is such a pleasant and professional company. I truly couldn't be happier with the work they have done on our kitchen remodel. Eden is a detailed project manager and skilled contractor. He was attentive to alot of questions I had before the project started and addressed them all in a timely manner. They are very responsive, accommodating to our requests, flexible yet hold a high standard. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

We have built an excellent working relationship with supervisor Edgar and his team. Edgar addressed any concerns. We are also in the process of having the flooring done in our Media Room and Kitchen.

My wife and I recently wanted to redo our kitchen as it was a bit outdated (I don't believe it had anything done to it since the house was first built in the '60s). We reached out to Smart Homes Inc and several other contractors. We met with a few different contractors, however, none were as communicative or on point as Eden from Smart Homes. He came out within a day of us reaching out, quoted us a time in which they would have everything completed by, and accomplished it within that timeframe. They also quoted a reasonable price and ensured everything would be up to standard. Eden made sure to keep us up to date on the project and let us know what was coming down the pipeline. Furthermore, his team was great in ensuring that everything was always cleaned and organized. They also made sure we were happy with everything each day. read more

Yelp is asking for a review so here you go. My problems started with Josh (one of the owners) lying about the structural design not being done. He said 5 Blox was still waiting for the design from Burk engineering, but when I asked Burk they told me they sent it to them over a week ago. That was a problem because 5Blox said they couldn't start until they had the design. That was the first red flag at least. Their designers were a major disappointment too. Almost ALL their measurement were wrong. The vanities were measured wrong and transposed. They showed the guest vanity with one sink going into the master bathroom and the master vanity with two sinks going into the guest bathroom. An obvious mistake to anyone who has any experience, but they wouldn't listen to me. I had to go and remeasure everything for them to prove they were wrong. The measurements for both vanities were also incorrect and they had me ordering the wrong sized vanities until I corrected it for them. I was promised all that info would be corrected "no later than" Sunday but I didn't get anything until the following Tuesday. That was the start of a theme for them. They almost never delivered anything when they promised. I paid $6K for a 3D rendering of the remodel and it was all wrong. The physical layout of my house in the 3D rendering was totally wrong and the engineering firm had to correct it for them so they had to redo the 3D rendering. The backsplash I picked out was wrong. They randomly added cabinets in the master bathroom I didn't request and I asked them numerous times to get it corrected. Their design team made numerous mistakes that I had to correct for them. Many if not most of their measurement were incorrect. The vanities, the doors, and carpet were all incorrect. The way the doors swung were incorrect. I had to ask them numerous times to get it corrected. They said they corrected everything, but I soon learned that was a lie because they were still wrong. The material list they sent me was wrong. We had to reorder the doors several times because their information was wrong. I sent them the asbestos report and they didn't know what to do with it or who to send it to at 5blox. Apparently it was fault because I sent it to the wrong person at 5Blox and they wouldn't forward it to the right person. Bizarre! It was very difficult to get them to respond to my concerns and correct all their mistakes. They didn't update the change orders so those invoices were wrong. The shower pan was framed at 29" but it was supposed to be 32" and they had no idea because the project manager was rarely at the house to make sure this stuff didn't happen. They had obvious mistakes during every phase of the project. They even missed several items on the demo. Simple and obvious stuff but they had no idea because no one was there to make sure my project was getting done correctly. This was a whole home remodel and it became clear they were in way over their head. Again, they had no idea what was going on because no one was there to manage the project. The final charge for the bathroom was 400% higher than the estimate. In their contract they kept saying 5blox will "buy and supply" varies items then they would request payment. They tried to tell me that "buy and supply" didn't mean 5Blox would pay for it. Crazy! I wasn't living there during the remodel and almost every day I would find my house unlocked and doors left wide open. I couldn't even get them to secure my house at the end of every day so I eventually fired them and hired another company. My experience with 5blox was not good. They had numerous obvious and egregious mistakes at every stage of the process starting with demo. It created a ton of extra work for me and it became clear to me that this job was way beyond their experience level. 5Blox has cute and matching outfits, but they had so many mistakes on my project during every phase of my project that I don't think they have any idea what they were doing at least on my project. Like I said I hired another company to finish the remodel and that only confirmed I was right. 5Blox was in way over their head with my remodel. read more

I recently purchased a townhouse. I knew it needed work but was scared having never done a remodel before. I met with Eden at Smart Homes Inc. and he was very patient and explained everything to me in detail. It made me decide to do even more work then I originally planned. I remodeled the kitchen and two bathrooms, replaced the old carpet with beautiful hardwood floors and tile throughout the entire house. We also added electric in certain rooms and replaced old lights with LED lighting. Working with the team at Smart Homes made me feel like I was being listened to, and they guided me through the process in a professional manner. The workers were experienced and nice. They always showed up. I love the finished product. It's exceeded my vision. I will hire them again in the future to do more. read more

I did some remodeling before in my life but Smart Homes is definitely the best company I ever dealt with! Eden was very helpful right from the beginning all the way to the end of the project. My kitchen remodel project was a bit complex because it was involving a removal of a load barring wall. I could see Edén had experience in that, he made me a 3D design , brought the architect to draw the plans and approve them with the engeneer, pulled the permit and supervised the entire project. I Love my new open concept kitchen it's so beautiful and is custom for my needs. I highly recommend on Eden from Smart Homes! read more

I am impressed how Smart Homes nailed my unrealistic expectations of finishing the job in such a short time. I contacted them on Monday afternoon, Benjamin met me a few hours later, the crew started early next day and was done on Thursday! The project included room walls, ceilings, baseboards, doors and trim at a 2000 sq ft condo. The finish is smooth and even. read more

I was excited to start my bathroom remodel but nervous who to choose for the job . I knew I needed to take 3 estimates so I started taking them 3 months ago . I met some nice contractors but they seemed like they knew what they are doing but I didn't feel like they understood me and they were rushing me to sign now which I didn't appreciate. Eden was my 3rd estimate, he was so different! Took his time to explain me every detail of the job, made me a 3D design so I can visual how my new bathroom will look like , that helped me because we did several relocations. I felt he was my contractor the one who I can trust! As he promised my house was cleaned daily and work progress was exactly like the timeline he told me . Now 4 weeks later my bathroom is done and we passed final inspection yesterday. I love how it came out specially the pebbles on my shower floors. I'm going to remodel my kitchen next year and definitely it will be with Eden from Smart Homes read more

I absolutely love the kitchen that Ben created for me. Smarthomes came in and helped me design an open floor plan for my living floor/ kitchen/ dining room. Ben helped me pick out tiles and solid wood for my backsplash and cabinets. His suppliers had great finishes and quality materials. We did some electrical work, relocated some of the plumbing, and all the necessary work to close the walls. Ben and his crew were very clean, and I enjoyed every moment during the job! Thank you Ben and Smarthomes! read more

Smart Homes really exceeded my expectations. I called them for my Kitchen Remodeling .From the first meeting with Eden, I felt the most at ease with him. He clearly knew his trades and was very helpful in pointing out what could be done better or what he recommended we change.

The work itself came out beautifully and they were able to stick to our budget. We love our new kitchen . I am already planning on using Smart Homes for further work down the line!

I did a project with Smart Homes to do a full kitchen remodel for my parents. I was a bit nervous, having never worked with a construction company before. I initially met with Eden and he was very friendly, explained the whole process to me and made me feel right at home. I was having a tough time figuring out the color scheme and materials I wanted to use. Not only did he help me choose, but he even brought in Lily (the company's 3D designer) and she built my kitchen so I could see exactly what worked best. She was very patient and we went through several different ideas until we found one that was just right. The job was done quickly and efficiently and I am very happy with the end result. Thank you so much! read more

Barry Tucker from Smart Homes gave me an estimate on the damaged FACIA board on my home. It was a good one and Barry was so easy to work with that I asked for an estimate on painting the interior of my home. I was hesitant to begin such a huge project, but Barry assured me that I would have their help from start to finish. It was amazing ‼ The painters delivered boxes for my packing before the weekend. When they came Monday morning, Barry had already been back to help me move the boxes I had packed. The painters were clean, quiet, respectful and very professional! They moved all my heavy furniture so carefully. They even moved my China cabinet when it was still half full without moving one item inside! They cleaned up after themselves each day. They worked in a mindful fashion so that as much as possible got done every day. The job that could have taken 5 or 6 days was completed beautifully in 4. Barry came frequently to evaluate and help pack or put back materials as needed. As promised, everything was back in place when the work was done. They even helped mount my pictures where they should go. I will recommend Barry and his crew anytime. I'm sure they will do a great job for you as they did for me. read more

My dream has always been to live in a penthouse suite like they have at the Wynn Hotel in Vegas. I pitched idea to Ben at Smarthomes, but I did not assume it was within my budget. Although I wasn't able to achieve the exact finishes of these multi million dollar projects- Ben helped me choose finishes that were cost effective and had the same wow effect. The work was clean, efficient and all the workers came with positive attitudes. Ben gave me the master suite of my dreams and I couldn't be happier. read more

Ben was very helpful with my kitchen remodel.

Several corrections by Smart Homes for re-modeling our two bathrooms were necessary. The first was repairing the yellowing of grout shortly after Smart Homes completed the first bathroom. Eden pushed back, "... blaming us for cleaning with harsh chemicals, and/ or our water being responsible to cause the yellowing of the grout." (Neither is true.) After going "back and forth, on and on for at least thirty minutes, Eden agreed to do the repairs if we signed a waiver no longer making Smart Homes liable after repairing. The team member who completed the repairs told us, ".. The initial grouting was not properly done." Several months have passed and no further yellowing. (same cleaning products, same water.) The second bathroom had a large shower tile that was cracked. I met with Eden and once more he pushed back,"..blaming us for buying bad tile." I informed Eden that all the tile we purchased was inspected 'piece by piece' by us and purchased from Flora Decor, his recommended source, and that if it was not damaged when we purchased and even if it was, "... Your team should have noticed before installing." Eden finally agreed to repair and insisted on us signing a waiver before repairs... which he never provided. Smart Homes did repair and the tile sub informed us that the original installer, "... most likely cracked the tile during installation." Additionally the painting and grouting of the second bathroom had to be corrected three times. The two tone painting in the bathroom overlapped where the walls and ceiling joined and the grouting had deep pockets. Eden took pictures and corrections done had to be done and re-done. And a promise by Eden for one specific weekend to have his crew show up and get the job done, "correctly," never occurred. That weekend Smart Homes came out Saturday for an hour and did not return on Sunday. On that weekend my wife and I even canceled our weekend plans to accommodate Smart Homes. Additionally the second bathroom has a tiled enclosure in the bath- shower for soap and shampoo storage with very crooked walls. We did not want to have that re-done because, "enough was enough." (I have saved text from Eden) read more
