Not only does he have incompetent workers - sweet guys trying their best, but not trained or qualified- but also never showed up to oversee on the job, only came to get the checks!!! He got $80.000 for something that I now know should have been max $30.000, I had the most beautiful kitchen, a Dream kitchen, with gorgeous granite, Venetian Plaster and costume made cabinets. He gave us cheap prefabricated cabinets and charge for custom made. Everyting is horrible. The kitchen sink's structure is not made right, so it's going down!!! The opening for the oven they mad too big and then did a Micky Mouse job making it smaller and it has ridges and bumps. He used cheap hinges for the doors, so put some kind of wires on every door. The doors are warped. The paint is cheap. The baseboards were never painted. The cut on the granite isn't where it's supposed to be, it's in the middle of the counter. The trim above the cabinets against the ceiling has a cut in the wrong place. Should have been a whole piece. AND the worse part I that he DID NOT have to redo the whole kitchen!!! He lied saying that the cabinets could not b matched. And my wonderful granite could hav been saved. The tile worker told m that afterwards. Ari is a CROCK of the highest degree!!! I have reported him to the CLSB!!! And if there are more of you there that he has fooled/had a bad experience PLEASE report him!!!

The cabinetry and countertops are are stunning. They installed barn doors for space efficiency in a small unit. Elite installed new sliding glass doors and a beautiful new front door. They overhauled a dingy laundry cabinet to make it look like it was newly constructed. In doing so they identified an electrical issue that was not to code and they rectified it. They installed new flooring and lighting throughout the unit. They also identified an issue with the water heater and recommended a replacement. As with most construction, there were delays and set backs however overall the job was well done and the remodel was completed to my satisfaction.

It always pains me leaving a less than great rating, but I am committed to maintaining integrity in…read moremy reviews. As a first time homeowner, having to replace a roof is a hard pill to swallow. Initial interactions were with Manuel. He came out for the initial site review to provide a quote. I really appreciated his kindness and candor. We discussed all the likely work, costs and options for materials. We decided on the entry-level shingles as our roof is pretty simple, but with his recommendation opted for a small upgrade to the Solaris (cooler shingles). I appreciated the time he took flipping through the shingle brochure and explanations. Quote came in, which after deliberation accepted. Here lies the first issue. The office worker emailed me to select a color for shingle and provided a link. I went back to the brochure and immediately identified the Solaris shingle Emanuel and I agreed on. The office worker replied back that my selection was an additional ~$1,000. Of course I called out the mistake but my claims fell on deaf ears. I could only advocate so much, but the deposit was made and we needed to move forward. Installation day, the crew arrived on time and was very friendly. They didn't require much from me and just mentioned "we clean up daily like you won't even notice we were here". This was a 3.5 day project and each day they did a 'decent' job on their clean up externally. So far I have only stepped on one rusty roofing nail while walking on my lawn. The shocking part to me was the mess INSIDE in house. Maybe it's common sense(?) but being the first roof I have experienced being replaced, you think the roofing company would warn you about the MASSIVE amount of dirt and rocks which would saturate the home. Again, this wouldn't be mentioned but I feel a pre-installation conversation would have saved so much inconvenience. A few days in the project, we notice the agreed wood work was being completed. This is great! What wasn't great was 1. The dozens of nails/screws protruding through the vaulted ceilings, many splitting the beams. Luckily, we called them out in time where they removed them before installing layers. Additionally, the placement of the new wood was far from consistent with the previous design. The crew wanted to cover existing conduit and their reason was "we don't know what it looked like before the removal". If this is ever an issue for a roofer, you would think they would take notes or photos prior. Then came our side door overhang. The damaged wood was removed, but rather than replacing, they choose in their own discretion to completely delete the overhang between the house and garage. The last part of my experience was the worst part for me. Already the cost from original estimate to final bill was about $12k higher. Ouch. I got an email from the office worker that the workers would be completed in afternoon and requested I have a check handed to crew the moment they were done. Remember the dozens of nails/screws which penetrated our roof and into the living area? I called the office to inquire. There was no respect given, but rather I was faced with an unprofessional conversation where the office worker criticized me for attempting to "renegotiate" the completed contract. She (no joke) laughed at me. I'll post the photos I had sent her which she dismissed as "normal" consequences of the installation and not warranted by their company. It literally had to go to me denying immediate payment until I spoke with Emanuel. He did call, and was sympathetic but it does not undo the unprofessional and condescending attitude of the front office worker. Many calls went unreturned, questions unanswered and no attempt at customer recovery. They charged me about $1k over agreed on shingles, installed less roof vents than agreed, made the experience a nightmare and my house saturated in rocks and dust. Next time, warn your customers to cover items. Would have made the post-installation experience much better. Otherwise it looks good--I'll give them that. ** update. This was a 2 star review, but reduced as said office worker finds this review as "Funny". Spending over $30k, you think better customer service would be automatic. Go elsewhere!
