They were recommended to us by a local realtor. Joshua and Yesenia were professional from the start. They scheduled the work, gathered a crew, and promptly began restoration work. New kitchen (cabinets and island), new LVP flooring, recessed lights and whole house paint. Quality work and at a fair cost. We've encounter a recent home issue that needs repairing. It's J&Y to the rescue.

This review is of my second experience with J&Y Painting, and after this experience I would advise…read moreagainst trying to work with this business. The first time I used them, they came to paint some interior railings, and did a fantastic job, even if they were hard to get a hold of initially. A few weeks later, I contacted them again to come out and do an estimate for me on a good deal of exterior painting and repairs. The estimate was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. The day of, the time span they gave came and went, and no one showed up. I called half an hour past the time frame, and was told that they had no idea where he was, and that they would text me. They texted a while later saying that he wasn't able to make it, and asked to reschedule for Wednesday. I agreed, understanding that these things happen. On Wednesday, I received a text an hour before the allotted time saying that something came up, and that he needed to reschedule for Thursday at the same time. I had a conflict, and asked for either Friday or just to text them pictures of the work to try and do a virtual estimate. They asked for pictures, and I sent several, with detailed instructions for each. I didn't hear anything for the next nine hours, and received a text late at night saying that Friday would be better. That brings us to today, where again no one showed up during the scheduled appointment time, and where again I had to reach out and find that they, again, did not know where he was. I told them there was no need for a fourth rescheduling. If you can get this team to come out and actually do the work, they will probably do a fine job. However, be warned - you might never get to see that for yourself if they treat you they way they have treated me.

This review is based on my interactions with Marlon when soliciting bids for some work at a new (to…read moreme) house. This is not based on any work they did for me, as I did not hire them. Calls were returned, the staff was timely, courteous and thoughtful. The bid I received was very competitive and I had high confidence that they would be able to do a good job, on time and on budget. However, I did not personally go through all the listed work items with Marlon. My proxy did half of the items, and the gaps reflected in the bid and I was not comfortable selecting them with such a big disconnect. I will definitely keep them in mind for my next work - and ensure that I personally go through the work areas to ensure clarity on both ends.

I cannot begin to express how impressed I was with this company from the very beginning. They were pros in dealing with the insurance company. Their subcontractors were top notch. They did excellent work, and they made my office better then it was before. I would definitely use this company, for commercial or residential purposes.

HIVEX broke the stereotype…read more We had an unfinished basement project and Hivex went above and beyond on finishing it. From the first interaction to the last (and we were sad to see them go) it was pure professionalism. Contractors get a bad reputation of not showing on time, not communicating, taking short cuts... Hivex changes the game. We received a detailed email with images when we entered into a new phase of construction, every time. Scott Alice was fantastic as a project manager and made sure everything was above the standard. We miss seeing the workers every day and seeing leaps and bounds of progress. BUT we are so happy to now have a dry, clean, well lit place for our children to play, a wonderful laundry room, beautiful new bathroom and a poker space. Keep doing what you are doing, I will refer them to everyone.

Not a fan at all. My…read morebasement had flooding issues and when I tried to bring this to my elderly parents' attention, they somehow decided to finish the basement, despite the musty smell and this seasonal flooding for 20 years. I was hoping that maybe Hivex would identify this issue and maybe back me up on this point before they fully converted it to a rentable living space. But they didn't. We then got a huge rain which left visible signs of flooding and standing water on the basement floor. When I told my Dad, he said it was due to Hivex mopping the floor. I was certain that Hivex would help clear this up and attribute the water to the recent storms. They didnt--they confirmed (lied?) to my dad that it was due to their mopping a few days prior. So then they started installing the framing for the drywall, despite the smell and standing water. I knew the project was doomed at this point because once the drywall went up, that moisture would be sealed off behind it and the mold would just flourish. That's when we got the biggest storm in Spring of 2025 which resulted in catastrophic flooding of the basement, leaving zero doubt about the flooding. (This is also a common-sense issue in our area, which has heavy clay soil). We hired a basement moisture company to deal with the seasonal flooding but we had to remove the framing to install the dewatering trench at the base of the wall. At this point, they were really behind schedule. The price was outrageous. Over $80K. My friend just finished his basement and oversaw the drywall, electrical work, cabinetry, etc. He did his basement, which is larger, for around $20,000. The mark up was huge and I was really expecting more. Hivex is for people who love to spend money. Little things they missed: 1. Basement door will not lock and the GC never coordinated with the basement moisture people as to who's fault this was. I thought the GC was supposed to solve things like this and not let things fall through the cracks? 2. Ceiling fan is supposed to reverse during the cold months. This feature is broken which really sucks in the winter time, when all the warmth stays on the ceiling. 3. Faucet was really loose and I had trouble correctly tightening it. Frustrating for a few weeks as it gradually loosened and I had to keep fixing it. 4. The reverse pump for the bathroom was not even sealed. There was a visible gap on the lid of this device and the smell was AWFUL for a few weeks. My aging parents cant smell anything so they just said I was crazy. After a few weeks of this smell, they finally had someone come to seal it. This worker seemed very honest and he said it was bad they missed this. Nasty Hivex. 5. They have really bad deals and poor quality when it comes to their cabinetry and kitchen design options. (Cheap stuff designed to maximize profits). They also refuse to work with whatever company you went with for the cabinets/hardware/faucet. Again, whats the point of the GC if they arent coordinating with everyone? We went with IKEA and it was SO chaotic and horrible. Its basically an automated company at this point.

His price is very reasonable and the quality of his work is excellent. He is very fast. He is very knowledgeable too.

We received quotes from a few different contractors. 2 Brothers' pricing was very competitive; what gave them the edge, was that they do almost all of the work themselves. This meant we'd know who was in our home every day, plus we didn't have to worry about a minor delay having a domino effect on project schedules like what can happen when you're dealing with multiple subs. Pete, Jamie & Auggie are genuinely nice people who seem to enjoy what they do. Pete was very responsive to emails & questions from the initial scoping phase through to completion. He presented options that were aligned with our goals for both style and price point, with no pressure to upsell us. Jamie pays good attention to detail and we were especially pleased with the tile work he did for our backsplash. He also endured my multiple questions with patience and good humor. There were also thoughtful added touches like when Auggie was painting our kitchen ceiling and took it upon himself to touch up some spots in a few others rooms as a bonus. There were some small unpredictable hiccups as does happen with any major project, and the guys were immediately responsive and kept us updated on next steps. This is a local family business doing very good quality work. When it's time for our bathroom remodel, I'll be sure to give Pete a call.

And yet the website says they do all kinds of things. We always test out contractors with small jobs before hiring for big jobs and we're looking to fully remodel the kitchen.

We hired Carlos and his crew to remodel our master bathroom. They did a great job and really came…read morethrough for us in many respects. The team rebuilt our shower to remove a leak, tiled the shower, the toilet area and the floor of the bathroom and executed our design perfectly. Maybe one of the best compliments I can give is how easily they adapted to issues along the way. For example, when the main water valve to the whole house showed signs of a problem, they replaced it for us. When the water valves for the vanities didn't fit the new structures, they moved the valves and made it work. When the light fixtures needed to be raised, the crew took care of it without any complaint. Carlos gave us the best price by far for anyone who gave us an estimate and he fit the work into a busy schedule. Carlos adjusted the price as the project went on removing costs when we supplied materials or removed items from the plan. He also charged us fairly for the extra tasks such as fixing the house's main water valve. If there is 1 area I would suggest for improvement it is making sure questions about work that needs to happen are laid out before the day work is necessary. As an example, on a Monday morning I was asked where I wanted the step into the bath tub placed because the workers wanted to install the step that day. That was not a question I could answer on the spot; I needed to consult with my wife on the final decision. What's more, we would have had all weekend to consider the options if we had known the question ahead of time. This type of last minute response came up a few times throughout the project and created a bit of frustration and stress. The above suggestion is but one small issue compared to the great work Carlos and his team did on the rest of the project. His men were polite and professional at all times. The crew adapted well as the project moved along and did everything asked of them. They completed a rather intricate tiling project along with everything else. The work took longer than we anticipated but I think that is normal for these projects. Carlos and his crew are skilled in a variety of projects. I expect they will be our first call the next time we renovate any party of our home. I recommend their work and feel confident you will encounter the same good experience we had.

Do to the high demand for contract work amid at the pandemic. I came across Tabi Home Repair & Remodeling on Yelp. They reached out to me asked me how can they help.

I said I have all the materials just looking for it to be installed. They replied back with a cost of $650.00 for both of the doors. I also sent them a link with an instructional video from the company from which I got the doors from. I said could you look at this and let me know if this is something you could do. Wanted to make sure there was no misunderstanding. They replied back with it would be $400.00 for each door to be installed. I replied with when can you do the install? I paid Half of the installation which was $400.00 other was due upon completion. On the day of the installation they showed up unprepared it's a two person job they had one person.
