    We had such a fantastic experience working with COVA Construction! From start to finish, Martin was incredibly communicative, professional, and--most importantly--patient. He took the time to understand my vision and was always receptive to my ideas, no matter how detailed or specific. The team's timelines were spot on, and their estimates were accurate and very fair, which made planning and budgeting so much easier. They exceeded our expectations in every way--especially when they repainted our entire home on a tight schedule so we could move in on time. Despite the quick turnaround, the quality of work was excellent. Martin and his crew also tackled several additional fixes, including lighting fixtures and wall patches, all of which were handled smoothly and efficiently. One of my favorite transformations was the fireplace--updated with stone and now such a beautiful focal point in our home. And the custom window nook and built-in cabinets they installed brought in so much natural light; it completely elevated the space and was completed impressively fast. Martin was incredibly accommodating and communicated when there were any issues during this process and he was so understanding when I decided to change my idea midway through from a door to a window nook for the space. We're beyond happy with the results and will definitely be turning to COVA again for future projects like bathroom renovations and other home upgrades. Well worth the time, money, and anticipation. Highly recommend!

    Cova Construction is a great general contractor. They did a great job with multiple projects, including bathroom remodels, interior painting, popcorn ceiling removal, plumbing repair and installation of hard flooring and recessed lights. Martin, Mike and the entire team are professional and friendly, and worked closely with me on all the small details. Their workmanship and quality is impressive, pricing is fair, and most importantly, they maintained the schedule and finished everything on time. Highly recommended!

    Love, love my new bathrooms and Martin and his team at Cova Construction! The bathrooms came out exactly how I was hoping. I received many quotes and I loved how Martin managed the whole project, overseeing all aspects of the renovations, providing expert advice along the way and answering all of our questions. His team is very professional and do excellent work! We look forward to our next project with Cova Construction in the future!

    Highly recommend! Cova Construction did an amazing job on my flooring throughout the house. The final results were excellent, and the crew was professional, punctual, and courteous.

    Wow, so glad we found Cova Construction! These guys are professional about everything! Martin and his team Listen to what you want and execute the plan. Their quote was on par or better than every other contractor we had out. The quality of their work surpassed our expectations and they work very efficiently. We initially just wanted to do the guest bathroom but once we saw the end result we did our master as well. Can't say enough about Cova and once we met them we understood that they are just great people as well. We had no problem running errands while they worked in the house. A wonderful experience. They will definitely be doing our kitchen when we are ready for the next project!

    We found Cova Construction back in 2019 right before Covid for a project renovating our two guest bathrooms. They took out both fiber glass shower/tub inserts and refinished them with nice tile, low step entry and nice rolling glass shower doors. We were extremely happy with how both bathrooms came out that we ended up replacing one of the vanities, counter tops and accessories to really showcase the bathroom. We finally decided it was time to do a full renovation in our master bathroom. Our stand up shower had a very large bath tub next to it. The tub was so big that my wife quit taking nice baths because it seemed like it took 15 minutes or so to fill up and when she sat in it she would just slide down into the water. You could do an entire reenactment of the Battle of Midway from WW2 in there. We did not hesitate to call Martin back for a bid to do a total tear out, make some cosmetic changes to the walls and take out that gigantic mirror that came with the house. We accepted his bid and set up a start date. Martin, Mike and the rest of the guys show up for demo right on time. They show up every day right at 0730 and get to work. Martin is a great communicator. He lets you know what's going to be happening from day to day and they completed the job in just under three weeks. Tile guys Joel and Juan are perfectionists at their craft and you can see the craftsmanship in how they cut and lay the tile. If Martin sees something or is not completely happy with how something came out, he calls his guys back and has them alter it to his satisfaction. He caught things that I didn't see and at this point, he had my full trust that he has our best interests in mind. He even replaced the old low voltage lights over the shower and tub with nice lower profile LED lights that highlight what was once a pretty dark side of the bathroom. I guess you look at it as if he is and artist and he wants to showcase his work. None of this was part of the bid, he just thought it would look better and did it on his own. Trying to pick a contractor for a large project is tuff, trusting them is even tougher. I would use them again and not even get other bids from other contractors. That's how much I trust he and his guys work.

    (reposting with pictures) I highly recommend Cova Construction! My wife and I needed a complete bathroom remodel and entertained several contractor's quotes. Cova's quote was right in the neighborhood with the others. But discussing the job with Martin gave me confidence that he was the person I wanted to do business with. Martin assisted with suggestions on our basic idea for the bathroom and we ended up delighted with the results! The service Cova provided during the bathroom remodel inspired us to have them do the bedroom remodel my wife had been hounding me about forever! This included flooring and a changeout of the sliding closet door. Martin is very communicative about every aspect of the project and his team (family) is top notch! We'll be doing a renovation of the master bedroom soon. And we have Cova on speed dial!

    We would like to think the COVA CONSTRUCTION TEAM of Martin Covarrubias, his son-in-law Mike, Martin Jr., Josh and Ivan for the OUTSTANDING JOB in the renovations from the water damaged first floor of our home. We met with several contractors for our reconstruction project. All made promises even though we had seen their reviews before hand, but only COVA Construction gave us the peace of mind when it came to honesty and knowledge of all the procedures working with insurance companies. From the moment we met Martin, it was a match. He was honest up front, greatly respectful, very knowledgeable in every step of the project, a super great guy and a gentleman. They're professionalism showed in every aspect of the project from the start to the finish. They paid great attention to details in every way. They advised us in every step and proceeding with their expertise. The outcome and finished project was fantastic, we've attached photos of the beginning and finished product. Martin helped with the decision making for the cabinet, the moldings, painting and flooring materials pros and cons, truly customer service oriented. COVA Construction Team not only put everything back the way it was, they made it even BETTER. WE highly recommend COVA Construction. They felt like family. They are the very best, you definitely can't go wrong.

    This review has been a long time coming! We had a slab leak that caused significant water damage in our bathroom and part of our kitchen, and after living in our home for about 27 years, we knew it was time for some updates. Remodeling felt like a big, intimidating decision, especially finding a team we could truly trust with our home. After vetting many contractors, I'm so glad we chose Cova Construction. Martin and Mike were incredibly patient with us through the entire process. They provided a reasonable price, stayed reliable and communicative, and always took the time to understand our vision. They didn't just meet our expectations--they brought our ideas to life in a way we couldn't have imagined. Now, four months after moving back in, I can honestly say the quality of their work has exceeded our expectations. They've given us a 'new old house' that we absolutely love! I highly recommend Cova Construction to anyone considering a remodel. This team is trustworthy, skilled, and a pleasure to work with! Can't thank you guys enough for all you hard work!

    After

    Our experience with Cova Construction was fantastic and I would highly recommend them. Thinking about remodeling our kitchen was overwhelming. After several quotes, I knew from the first time Martin came out that he was our guy. He was always incredibly easy to communicate with, flexible, friendly, and trustworthy. I pushed our project out a few times and he was always flexible and was ready to start when we were finally ready. His team was amazing. I was always informed about what was happening and what to expect. We could not be happier with how our kitchen and flooring came out. They perfectly executed our vision and made it fun along the way. I will not hesitate to use Cova Construction for our next project!

    Ensuite After

    We did an ensuite and 1/2 bath remodel. Martin and his staff were very professional from the first meeting until the last day during the walk through. The quality of work and craftsmanship is tremendous. His timelines were spot on and once they were done there wasn't a speck left behind. Overall great quality and will be using them again when we do the next phase of remodel. Thank you Cova!

All his 5/5 star reviews are absolutely deserved. We bought a fixer-upper townhome that needed a complete refresh and Tixan Construction did a phenomenal job. What started as a dark/worn space is now a modern and bright home that we've received countless compliments on that the transformation can hardly be believed! In addition, some additional highlights from working w/ George/Tixan Construction: * [Great Communication] - George was an excellent communicator throughout our renovation. He provided timely responses to any texts/emails/calls throughout which greatly helped explain and minimize our concerns 1st time home owners. * [Excellent Prices] - George and his team provided excellent pricing for all work performed. Close friends/colleagues familiar with construction confirmed the competitive pricing provided for the work performed. * [Service] - George provided great customer service as he was very willing to provide his expertise and opinion on design and material selections to ensure we maximized the quality within our renovation budget. In addition, he works to ensure excellent quality in his work. As an example, we had some challenges with our stairs creaking and he was willing to revisit free of charge until the sound was either eliminated or minimized as much as possible. Overall, I highly recommend George & Tixan Construction for. He is truly a stand-out General Contractor amongst the crowd.

Josh handled every aspect of our loft bedroom build in our high-ceiling space, including permits, and made what could have been a stressful renovation feel as smooth and manageable as possible. His crew was equally impressive~ professional, respectful, and honest. Since our family of 5 were living in the home during construction, their effort to keep the space clean was greatly appreciated. They also finished the project two weeks before originally estimated. They were on it beginning Day One! The pricing was fair and reasonable, especially after comparing multiple quotes before committing. I highly recommend Josh and Protex Construction for any construction or home remodeling project.
