This review is long overdue. We have a 1960s house in HB and it was in dire need of updating. Classic Construction services completely renovated our downstairs master bath and pretty much the rest of the entire downstairs as well. This included pony wall demo, hanging several interior doors, carpet and tile demo, new wood-like tile flooring and new baseboard. They tore the master bath down to the studs and helped reorganize the layout. Since we are on a slab this included tearing up the concrete for pretty much the entire bathroom and rerouting plumbing. Zach, Peter, and Scotty were great! They helped us first time homeowners through our first major renovation and really went above and beyond. Zach pays particular attention to detail and if there was something that concerned us he wasn't satisfied until we were satisfied. We were working with a fairly fixed budget and Zach helped point us in the right direction to source materials and suggested a few design ideas along the way. His team is very experienced and knows the business inside and out. Zach subcontracted the floor tiling and shower tiling to Stueve Tile. We chose wood-like tile throughout to hold up against the wear and tear from the pets and children. Chris and his guys were also great. They were in and out in about a week. We choose a marble tile for the shower and Chris's tile installer was quite the artist. He personally cut and polished each of the end pieces. Highly recommend Stueve tile for any of your tiling needs. Overall we could not be happier with our choice of Classic Construction. We highly recommend Zach and his team! I would call them first for any of your renovation needs. We will use certainly use them again to tackle additional projects that didn't make the budget this time around - new kitchen, new exterior doors, etc. Really glad we found a great contractor that we will keep coming back to. read more

We are very grateful for our experience with Zach, his crew, and all the subcontractors he brought to our home for a remodel of two rooms and a bath. Zach is an exceptional listener. He has a great relationship with his crew, subcontractors, and city inspectors. We were most impressed at how clean he left the work site at the end of each day. We will continue to use his services for the remodel of two more bathrooms. We recommend him without hesitation. read more

Zach and his crew helped me out tremendously. Everything from fixing previous poor quality work done in my house, to getting city permits approved. I definitely recommend them! They are patient, helpful and professional. read more

Zach and his crew were friendly and finished our bathroom remodel in a timely manner. Communication was good and work was great at a fair price. read more

Zack and Peter did a fabulous job removing a window, and installing an exterior private entrance. Professional, honest, attention to detail, communication cleanliness were important to me. They did a great job, and believe they went over, and above what other contractors would have done. I look forward to some future projects. Thanks again! read more

After getting three quotes from contractors we chose Classic Construction for our bathroom renovation. We couldn't of been happier with the work and outcome. It was nice to know they are insured and have done a bunch of neighbors bathroom remodels. Zach is great at communicating and has the best team. We were amazed at how quick they completed the demolition of the bathroom and stayed on schedule. Everyone from the demo to pluming and tiling was very skilled at their craft and friendly. We highly recommend this company. read more

One of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. Zach was reliable, communicative and always responsive!

We are so lucky to have found Classic Construction Services! Zach is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and honest! He and his team handled a full remodel of my mom's house and recently finished a bathroom remodel for us! I could not recommend him more and will NEVER use anyone else! read more

Zach did a great job remodeling my small kitchen. From beginning to end, Zach communicated in a timely and respectful manner. His work and helper, Peter, were very detailed and careful in all steps of the construction process. Zach was also very patient and accommodating with regards to delays in appliance and cabinet issues. I never felt he was rushed to complete the project or that I imposed on his busy schedule. I would highly recommend Classic Construction for remodeling needs. read more

Classic Construction turned a fixer upper into our dream home. The work they did consisted of removing a shear wall, kitchen remodel (including plumbing, electrical relocation, installation of appliances, farmhouse sink, fixtures and cabinets), remove suspended ceiling, move of HVAC ducts, reframe and installation of 8 foot exterior and interior doors, removal and reinstallation of crown moulding, and some painting. Basically, the whole first floor was gutted down to the studs and redone. Zach Curtis (the owner) and his team are honest and trustworthy. Since we both work during the day, we had no problem and were comfortable not being at the site while they worked. This was very important to us since we couldn't afford to lose time off from work. They had a great working relationship with the building inspectors every step of the way. Zach was always onsite and took care of everything like working with the other contractors (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, structural engineer, etc). They completed the project in the timeframe that was estimated. Zach worked through unexpected issues without revising the change order. He is so meticulous with his work and is a perfectionist. There was nothing that had to be redone or where they had to come back to fix. Things were done right the first time. It was so nice to see that the work site was swept free of dirt and dust at the end of the day. His crew never left without cleaning up so we never walked into a mess. Zach was very easy to work with. As someone who isn't familiar with construction lingo I felt very comfortable calling and talking to him. It was as if he knew that if I wasn't happy, nobody will be happy. Lol. His team - Scotty and Peter - were very professional, personable, respectful, prompt, and hardworking. We are very happy with our renovation and have been enjoying our home each day. Thank you Classic Construction! We highly recommend. Here is a link to some photos of our renovation on Pinterest. http://pin.it/kRXPXCG read more

We can't say enough good things about Classic Construction Services. As new home owners, we were very anxious about the prospect of making some updates to our 1970's home. Zach and his team made the process so smooth, and even enjoyable. They were timely, great communicators, thorough in their work, patient, helpful in educating us, and so much more. They'd not only get the job done that we hired them on for, but they'd go above and beyond as well (we hired them for window replacement, then they also helped up remove a doggy door that we hated. And they made sure the paint blended well with our new Windows.) We will definitely be hiring Classic Construction Services again! Highly recommend! read more

Zach & Peter are an amazing team: kind, careful and thoughtful. Our project wasn't so big, but it was complicated and intricate involving HVAC issues and gaining every inch of space we could to expand our Master Bedroom & Bathroom. Every new crazy idea I came up with Zach would consider, but often had a better idea. It was very reassuring to have someone so knowledgable about construction double check me and advise on everything from shower design to shiplap walls to electrical outlets. Reasonable, responsible and really good guys. This was my first major remodel project and so glad I had such an experienced team to guide me on all of the details and decisions. read more

I have to say it was not an easy project! We decided to remove load bearing wall, dividing our kitchen and dining room to get the open concept look. From my perspective and after hundreds of HGTV shows not a biggie you would think...well it was a really complicated project and Zach with Peter was a perfect team to hire for that for sure! Zach is a general contractor but he actually works on the job , very detail oriented and professional, provides high quality work and he is very respectful of his job site. Zach and Peter team is a pleasure to work with, they take their time, listen what the costumer wants and leave your place spotless after their work day is over. I will definitely consider hiring Classic Construction for my future projects. Here's some photos of our messy and complicated project and we love the result! read more

Zach and Peter did an amazing job on my garage remodel. It was quite an extensive remodel project for a garage since it needed to be completely redone, and is 2 rooms (back room is an office). In addition they installed full HVAC. The detached garage was structurally unsound prior, but now it looks brand new and is almost better than the house now. They are very detailed and conscientious and do really high quality work. I highly recommend them for any project. read more

Zack did a great job working at my HB home. He was on time and finished the job as agreed. I highly recommend him.

After three agonizing months of interviewing various sub-par contractors (75% of which came to my home for an estimate and never followed up with a written quote) I was referred to Classic Construction Services by an old friend (who I later found out, was referred to Classic Construction Services by his next-door neighbor). This friend is one of those guys that can do most construction work himself, but he was limited on time due to the fact he and his wife had a baby coming. The point being that if my construction-knowledgeable friend approved of Classic Construction Services, they might be halfway decent. I asked Classic Construction Services to come out for an estimate and met the owner, Zach Curtus. He was a knowledgeable, friendly, and professional guy. Zach spent a considerable amount of time in my home discussing the project (most of the other people I interviewed spent as little time as possible with me due to their supposed busy schedule) and answered every single question I had. Soon after, Zach provided me with a detailed 5-page quote. Keyword here is detailed. Each task (demolition, rough carpentry, electrical, HVAC, drywall, finish carpentry, painting, and flooring) was broken down into specific sub-tasks and prices. None of the other quotes I received provided anything other than a 1-paragraph summary and total price. A few days later, I called Zach and told him that he had won my business. He was appreciative of this fact, thanked me for selecting his company, and we agreed on a start date. I'll spare you the detail of the work performed, but I will tell you that the end result was excellent, and that I am 100% satisfied. I would also like to list out a number of positive supporting attributes: -Showed up on time every each and every day. -Vacuumed and dusted the work (and surrounding) area at the end of each work day. -For the few tasks that required subject matter experts, he used top-notch subcontractors (people that he works with all the time). -Was always here to introduce us to any subcontractors that would be working in our home. -Kept me up to date on progress (combination of daily briefings, debriefs, status updates, etc.) in person, by phone, and via text message. -Provided sensible solutions and fair pricing for two truly unforeseen (HVAC duct) issues caused by the original homebuilder's poor planning. Overall, I couldn't be happier and will certainly use Classic Construction Services for future projects. I would also happily recommend them to my friends and co-workers (something that I've already done). read more

Zane did an awesome job installing cabinet. He also noticed that our pony wall wasn't installed correctly and he fix it at no charge. He also suggested a Austin Hardwood in Santa Ana for some ideas for moulding. He is very thorough with his work. Thanks again for the great job. read more

Zach is a highly qualified, highly certified contractor when it comes to home improvement. I highly recommend him. Whatever you need done, this guy can do and more. I called a few contractors on Yelp and Zach's prices were the best for the improvements that I needed. While Zach provided a free estimate, he also came out and did the work himself along with a partner. Another good thing about Zach was how fast and responsive he was whether I contacted him via text or phone call. Zach recently completed a construction project in our house in which he installed 6 recess lighting cans in the living room with one dimmer switch and one regular switch. We also had him remove some brick backsplash above our fireplace mantle that was about 6.5'W x 4.5H. His team also put up drywall once the backsplash was removed. After, he mounted a TV bracket above our fireplace. One of his team members also helped me run my surround sound cables in the attic. The project took exactly two full days and came out excellent! The recess lighting alignment came out great and the wall above our fireplace looks like the brick backsplash was never there. The wall mount is holding up well with a 55'' TV. Zach's work and precision was nothing but professional which produced 100% quality to my satisfaction. He really took his time and made sure all measurements were on the dot before proceeding. I'm definitely looking forward to contacting Zach again to work on additional areas in our home because after my positive experience with Zach and Classic Construction I have TRUST. I TRUST this guy. read more

Must read! These guys were awesome! My first home I bought pretty much tore it down and build for new. They help out with all the permits met me at the city when ever I had to go took care of everything. The house I bought was built in the 70s, nothing was redone. They took a crappy little home/kitchen turned it into beautiful home for our family. read more

Zach and his crew were amazing. Our remodel was a pretty large project, and we couldn't be happier that we chose Classic Construction. Zach was super kind, straight forward, and the communication was excellent throughout the process. Price was fair and the quote was very detailed. No surprises. Everyone involved in the remodel ( floors, stone work, plumbing, lights, and pool) did an amazing job. If you have a small or big project Zach is your best bet. read more

I have an older home that needed some refreshing. I was a bit nervous with all the GC nightmares friends and co-workers had with their renovations. After a long selection process, I went with Classic Construction. I don't regret it a bit. Zach listened to what I wanted. I didn't want to make huge changes, just some refreshing/updating. I'm far from a home designer, so he provided some suggestions. I'm very happy with the results. His team was mindful about our property and cleaned up each day. One thing that sticks out is that Zach kept in communication with me. I'm always aware of any unforeseen issues and we discussed how to tackle them. Conversely, he was always reachable. He was always a phone call or text away. I won't hesitate to use Classic Construction for future projects. I suggest you do the same. read more

Zach and team have completed multiple jobs for us over the years including crown throughout the house, fireplace mantels, and overall finish work for our remodeling efforts. We continually find him friendly, responsive, extremely helpful, and full of great design ideas. He is detailed oriented and focused on delivering quality work to high standards. read more

We hired Zach Curtis' Classic Construction Services in 2020 to remodel a bedroom, bathroom & nearby hallway in a rental house we own. We looked for a small-business contractor local to Huntington Beach where the house is. Zach was the only contractor we interviewed - because after talking to him & receiving his prompt & detailed quote, we knew he was perfect for the job. We were not disappointed. The project had no structural work but included a lot of electrical work, installation of some vinyl flooring (that Zach had to search for to match existing) & ceramic tile. We purchased some items (vanity, & fixtures) for him to install & that went well also. For some specialized work, Zach hired subcontractors. The 2 different flooring subs & the drywall sub were fine; the plumber & painter had problems but Zach resolved all issues to our satisfaction. I know more about construction than an average homeowner & am a perfectionist, but that was not a problem for Zach. During the project, Zach made it easy to add new tasks & not do some that were on the quotation; I kept notes on this so Zach could focus on the work & still be properly compensated. Zach & helper Peter were friendly, easy to work with, neat & clean, competent & finished the work in a timely manner. They minimized disturbance to the tenant. They & the subs coped with the Pandemic - wore masks, etc. Zach was responsive to text messages in evenings & weekends. He waited until the job was almost done to ask for money. We got a lot of quality work done for a reasonable price. read more

Great service, great pricing all my clients love Zach! If you want something done on time and right on the first time, call Classic Construction. read more

We hired Zach Curtis' Classic Construction for our Master Bath/Bedroom remodel. We had interviewed two other contractors before hiring Zach though we quickly identified that he possesses all the qualities we were looking for in a contractor namely: honesty, integrity, good communication skills, work ethic, timeliness, tidiness and ability. Zach was understanding with the fact that my husband, an amateur carpenter, desired to work alongside him (and the crew.) We had done our homework, spent months planning and selecting products to achieve a specific look and Zach made suggestions to enhance our remodel. From start to finish he was always available on his cell phone and the payment process was more than fair. We would hire Zach again. read more

Zac does a great job as a contractor. Everything is spelled out completely and is reasonable in price. He did my whole kitchen and the three bathrooms and it looks fabulous. I bought the items needed to be done and he was the quarterback which put everything together. Highly recommends the American made Diamond cabinets which we work with Dave at RSSA for a good price and he and Zac puts together the plans. Highly recommended for a great local contractor. Ps.. Zac never asked for the payments at all until the whole job was done. Pretty honest contractor... read more

My husband and I hired Classic Construction Services and are very happy with the results! We had a small office/bedroom that we wanted to open up into our kitchen and living room. Zach and his awesome crew removed load bearing walls, placed an engineered beam in, and gave us the open floor plan we had envisioned! The engineered beam is massive! They also drilled down into our concrete slab to ensure our footing was deep enough, making sure our house is sturdy and safe. And another important note, the pricing was exceptionally fair and extremely competitive. We have other jobs that will require a contractor and plan to use Zach and his crew again. read more

I hired Classic Construction to completely remodel our 20 year old Kitchen (including new cabinets). Zach is an amazing craftsman! I was especially impressed with his attention to detail, work ethic and competitive pricing. He quickly responded to all questions and worked around our schedule.

Zach was very quick to communicate with me at first and setup a consultation about the work I wanted completed and he was very nice and understanding of what I wanted done. I was excited to begin working with him on the project and let him know that I wanted to begin as soon as possible. After that communication was not quick and he was not responding to me and just kept saying he was busy with other things and would get back to me but never would. I don't know if he did not want to take our job so he was just avoiding us? But would have been nice if he would have just told us that. I gave him a few chances to work with us in case he really was just super busy but he has not gotten back to me after weeks, even just to discuss when they might be available... disappointing. read more

My experience with Zach's Classic Construction proved to be good throughout: he was responsive to my initial query, kept me apprised of his expected arrival and completed the installation of crown molding beautifully despite an unanticipated challenge.

We recently contracted with Classic Construction to remove and replace fascia boards with some water damage and some infested with termites, replace a side door and paint the entire exterior of our home. Zach Curtis, the owner, inspected our home himself and delivered a detailed quote. We found his pricing to be very fair and honest, there were no hidden fees along the way, his work was excellent, he always showed up when scheduled and managed all sub-contractors to ensure the work was completed as promised, providing us with exceptional value. Our home is now termite free and looks amazing! In a world where integrity, honesty and true craftsmanship is hard to find, Classic Construction will always be our first choice! read more

I highly recommend Zach. I called a few contractors who either took a week to get back to me or were overpriced. Zach was priced well but more importantly did a great job. I had water damage under the sink that smelled horrible. He removed the floor, cleaned, framed the bottom and laid a nice piece of new cabinet particle board. My cabinet looks great and I am so happy I had him do the job. I don't think I would have got the same results with someone else. read more

Zach was fantastic. He converted my bonus room into a bedroom. I already have two other bedrooms upstairs and I wanted the finished room to match exactly (closet doors, texture, trim, casings, base boards, passage door, paint, etc.) Zach, Peter, and Scott were on time and worked full days (including Saturdays) in order to get my room done on a deadline. He cleaned up at the end of every day and always returned phone calls. The finish of the room is impressive and exceeded my expectations, which I consider to be very high. He also spent several hours helping with the initial design of the room and that was before I even hired him. Hire him and feel great about your choice. If you ask Zach for references I would be happy to show you my room. read more

I have had plenty of bad or not so good experiences with contractors. This experience was absolutely the opposite. We had a couple of small projects that Zach and his crew completed perfectly. There were no hidden surprises, no extra costs and the quality and timeliness of the work accomplished was second to none. Zach is very easy going, courteous and polite. I would hire him in a less than a second without a second thought if and when I need any more projects done. Thanks again Zach. I think plenty of other contractors could learn a thing or two from you. read more
