Overall I had a perfect experience with Gem. My 25 year old concrete floor had a lot of scratches,…read morestains, and a coating that was failing. I got concrete polishing quotes from 3 companies and gem stood out as: 1) By far the cheapest (less than half the price of the other quotes). 2) The best/fastest communication. They got back to me quickly and answered all my questions (some of the other companies forgot to reply to my emails at all until checking in weeks later). I was skeptical about the price, but my neighbors had used Gem so I was able to see the finished work, and it stood up well even years later. The pricing is simple - fixed costs per square foot. The other companies gave me a base price but said it might be higher based on complexity. They came to my home twice - once for a site visit and once to do the actual work. They were on time within the minute. They handled every detail of my floor including tight spaces and areas under the bottom stair with little vertical clearance. And when the work was done there was no dust. They must have wiped every surface, window, and countertop. I highly recommend for both the smooth experience and the high quality finished product!

They even stopped by upon our request before we signed the contract. I got the first floor of my townhome refinished. It already had some concrete, and I wasn't sure if the black stain would come out. They let me know it depended on how the stain was done, but we made a plan together so we could make the best choice depending on what happened. The floor came out so beautifully! The whole process was so clear, and I felt like I got a great deal. I would definitely recommend.

I contacted Natan from Northwest Builders and Renovations in Walnut Creek to get a bid on a kitchen…read moreremodel project. I chose his company over the other one that bid the project because Natan gave me confidence that they knew what they were doing, especially for the part of the project that involved a load bearing wall. He is a hell of a salesman. He agreed that they could provide everything the other company had bid but this was not the case. When we met for the bid, Natan assured me that my kitchen remodel project would take two weeks and that the cost was firm. He told me I could have any cabinet finish and quartz I wanted. I even showed him a sample of what I wanted the cabinets to look like and he agreed. Once it was time to order the cabinets it turned out I only actually had a choice of 7 cabinet finishes and none of them were like what I had showed him. For context, both the other contractor I talked to and Home Depot had samples of the finish I wanted so it wasn't like I had chosen something outlandish. Timeline: They demolished my kitchen on May 11th and work was finally completed 6 weeks later. I would not have proceeded if I had known it would take that long. My kitchen, laundry, living room and garage were unusable the entire time. There were also boxes and other debris all over my deck as well as my dishwasher sitting out on the deck uncovered. I got up in the middle of the night when it rained to cover it. There were many days when no one showed up and one time when no one showed up for 9 days straight. I begged him to keep the project going but he told me they couldn't because the countertop was taking so long to cut. That turned out not to be true. At the end of the 9 days the quartz cutter came to measure the counters and told me they had only just received the quartz and would not start cutting it for 2 days. Besides, there was plenty of other work like putting on the cabinet doors and finishing the laundry area that they could have been doing while waiting for the countertops. That is when I stopped trusting what I was being told. Cost: I agreed to pay an additional $2000 for an additional slab of quartz because I didn't like the plain grey countertops they wanted to use. It ended up to be more than was needed for my project so Natan suggested that I pay an additional $2000 to install the quartz all of the way up to the bottom of the cabinets instead of a 4" backsplash. I declined. He did it anyway and did not charge me. I had to pay an additional $4200 to replace the kitchen floor. When he quoted the project we agreed it did not need to be replaced because I had just replaced it 3 years earlier. It got hacked up when the bottom cabinets were installed and a patch job would have looked awful so it needed to be replaced. Communication: Communication was really poor. I had no idea what was going on or when anyone was actually going to show up to work on the project. No one told me they were proceeding with the white cabinets and grey countertops until I asked when I could pick the cabinet finish and quartz. They encountered a problem when opening up a wall but didn't discuss it with me until I asked 5 weeks later and it turned out that they couldn't do what we had agreed. Project Management: Natan said that either he or his project manager would be onsite every day to supervise the work and ensure it was done correctly. Neither one of them was ever there when the workers were so I basically had to make sure things were getting done. Natan kept asking what was left to be done. Had they come, I believe many of the issues could have been avoided. His crew clearly needed guidance. Natan had promised that his team would be on site to receive delivery of the cabinets on 5/14/2026. They were not. I was unable to be there so had to have a neighbor come and receive the delivery. Good thing I have Google Translate because that's what I needed to talk to his workers. Quality: The main issue was everything being installed backwards. My washer dryer hookups were installed backwards. The HVAC control was installed backwards and I had to pay an HVAC tech to come fix it. My dishwasher was hooked up backwards and spewed into my sink when it emptied but Natan refused to have someone come fix it so I had to pay a plumber to come fix it. Garbage disposal was also incorrectly installed. The kitchen was painted a different color and you can see the old color half way down beside the refrigerator and beside the dishwasher. The baseboards were just hacked off at the end rather than being joined at an angle and exposed the raw wood and some are flat and others molded so look like scraps were used. There's more but you get the idea. In the end, my kitchen is beautiful and if they worked the way they did the final week when they wanted me to sign off on the project and pay them it actually could have been done in the 2 weeks that he promised.

I would not recommend this company. They installed a garage motor incompatible with our existing…read moreremotes without telling us beforehand, forcing us to purchase all new remotes. They provided an address that could not be used for check delivery, delaying payment. Despite my repeated explanations and updates, the vendor threatened to remove the motor. The manager I contacted was rude and offered no meaningful help. We paid for a warranty, yet our garage has been left open for months, creating a serious security concern. Their threats made me worry about possible interference with the equipment, although I cannot confirm that occurred. The poor communication, unexpected expense, threats, and unresolved problems made this company extremely difficult to work with. In my experience, collecting money took priority over customer service.

We recently rehired them to completely renovate our screened-in front porch, which included new flooring, new screens, painting, outdoor fans, and recessed lighting.

From our first meeting with Miriam, we knew her and her team were going to be a great fit. From our first consultation, design meetings, and supply purchases, all before the construction started felt very streamlined and smooth. Miriam was able to provide us with realistic and ACCURATE timelines for completion. Our project from start to finish was completed in the time she provided even with added work. With the age of our home and the large overhaul we wanted to complete between load bearing wall removal, electrical upgrades, plumbing upgrades, new kitchen, and a new bathroom Miriam was also very transparent with us on potential things we might run into, so we wouldn't be surprised. There were only two additional things we ran into that weren't in the original scope of work, and through this process Miriam presented us with solutions rather than problems, along with choices of how to proceed. The additional work was still completed in our timeline, and within our budget. Miriam was an amazing Project Manager, and all the crew with Apex remodeling treated our home as their own. Living in the home during such a large project was made so much easier by how the team paid attention to detail, and kept the mess and materials contained and organized. My family is in complete love with how the Apex team made the vision we had for our home come to life. I would recommend Miriam and Apex remodeling to anyone who wants a quality remodel, an honest transparent consulting team, and a team that will make you feel good entrusting your home too. We look forward to working with them on more projects in the future. -Below you will find some before and after pics of our home

When the insurance company kept dragging things out and underpaying, Daniel was able to adjust the scope and costs to make things work, helping us get the right amount approved so the repairs could finally move forward. When the work began, Daniel's team delivered above and beyond anything we expected. They turned our old, dark kitchen into an amazing, updated space. The transformation was unbelievable -- bright, modern, and beautifully finished. Through all the chaos, Daniel stayed committed, patient, and supportive. He showed up, communicated clearly, and made sure we were never left alone in the process. After everything we went through, having someone like Daniel in our corner made all the difference. We're extremely grateful and highly recommend Gold Remodeling.

We're truly grateful for the professionalism, consistency, and quality of work from S&L Remodeling. Jacob's leadership and his team's dedication made the entire experience exceptional.
