My experience with Magdan left me with serious concerns and a lot of unanswered questions. What…read morebegan as a home renovation project became increasingly stressful due to ongoing issues with communication, billing clarity, and expectations around the scope of work. Several things that came up during the process did not sit right with me and led to a breakdown in trust. Despite efforts to address these concerns directly and respectfully, i was unable to reach a resolution that felt transparent or fair. The situation eventually escalated into a legal dispute, which has taken a significant emotional and financial toll on my family. We are facing the very real fear of losing our home while trying to sort everything out based off of a fraudulent mechanics lien . In our experience, key issues included: * Unclear and inconsistent communication about project scope and costs * Billing that we felt lacked transparency and raised questions we could not get clearly answered * Work expectations that shifted from what we originally discussed * Difficulty resolving concerns despite repeated attempts to communicate * Escalation to legal action rather than collaborative problem-solving I understand every project and client relationship is different, but based on our experience, i strongly STRONGLY , STROOOOOONGLY encourage others to document everything, ask detailed questions, and pay close attention to anything that feels unclear before signing contracts or making payments. This review reflects my personal experience, and i hope it helps others proceed with awareness and caution.

He repeatedly threatened to walk off the job when things didn't go his way, and eventually did--leaving the project unfinished halfway through construction. He even tried to discredit me by claiming I was yelling at his crew, despite the fact that I have video and audio recordings of him yelling and using profanity at me while I maintained politeness. I was left scrambling with tenants displaced in a hotel while he abandoned the work. Save yourself the stress and money--look elsewhere.

I had my closet redone and ordering a custom door took longer than it should have (not their fault), but the communication while waiting for was lacking. I assume this is because they are a small shop and pretty busy not out of malice or incompetence. THAT BEING SAID. I had a great experience with DBR; the crew was considerate, kind and clean. They worked hard and did a good job. They completed many tasks adjacent to what I had asked for in the remodel. Overall I am very pleased with the work they did and I would use them again. I also was satisfied with the price of the renovation -their price came below another quote I had gotten.

We were preparing our condo for sale and needed to update the place to look a little more modern. DBR provided much attention and care to every last detail. Our built-ins and kitchen cabinets looked brand new after their refinishing. The marble surround on the fireplace was meticulously placed. The walls were buttery smooth after their paint job. Our master bathroom was not a complete gut, just a mini-refresh. DBR was able to run the plumbing to accommodate a double vanity in no time and run the electrical to allow the mirror to function properly. DBR's quote was extremely competitive to other contractors we reached out to and I'm grateful we found them. Would gladly reach out to them again for work in our new home! Thanks, DBR!

We're genuinely surprised to see any mixed reviews for Revive. We can't recommend them enough! It's…read morerare to find a contractor you trust completely, along with all their subcontracting teams, but Ohad and his crew have earned that trust across multiple projects in our home. Ohad is an honest thought partner when it comes to design and overall project management. He'll tell you straight where it's worth spending and where you can save. And his team is hardworking, honest, and reliably on schedule (and mostly on budget!). We have also had the opposite experience of some of the warranty comments below. The team has ALWAYS come back promptly to finish final details/punch list items until we're happy with the project. And, they stand by the quality of their work. For example, after refinishing our floors, we noticed some marks that weren't quite right. Ohad agreed immediately that it wasn't up to his standard of work and sent a team to fix it, no pushback at all. The team tried a "quick" fix at first which was better, but not perfect. Without us even asking to fix it again, Ohad said it still wasn't to his standard and the solution was to rework the entire area. Due to some personal scheduling conflicts that made it hard to have workers in the house, we asked to delay for a few months past project completion and he was completely understanding... told us it would happen on our timeline and just asked for some notice before we'll be ready so he can schedule the team. That kind of accountability, owning a mistake and working around our needs to fix it, is exactly why we trust him so much. Plus the incredibly high standard of work on everything that went perfectly smoothly! We won't risk anyone else working on our home at this point.

Honestly, my experience was completely different from some of the negative reviews I've read. From the very beginning, everything was smooth, organized, and professional. Ohad, Lloyd, and the entire team were fantastic to work with. They were responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. Any questions I had were answered quickly, and they kept me informed throughout the process. The project stayed on schedule, the work was completed as promised, and the quality exceeded my expectations. My bathroom was finished about a month ago, so I've had time to live with it and evaluate the work, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I honestly don't understand some of the criticism I've seen because it simply doesn't reflect my experience. The entire process was smooth, stress-free, and the finished bathroom looks amazing. The photos speak for themselves. I would not hesitate to recommend Ohad, Lloyd, and their team to anyone considering a renovation project.

I can't recommend Welkin Construction enough. I had been dealing with a frustrating, ongoing issue…read morewhere my upstairs stand-up shower was slowly dripping through my kitchen ceiling below. I had already paid a plumber a significant amount of money for a leak inspection and "repair," only to find out the problem was never actually fixed. I even had one contractor tell me I needed a full bathroom renovation on a house that was only built in 2018. A clear overzealous attempt at a money grab. I found Welkin Construction almost by chance while getting quotes, and I'm extremely glad I did. From the beginning, they were honest, upfront, and professional. Instead of trying to sell me an unnecessary renovation, they took the time to properly diagnose the issue and fix the actual problem. Their team carefully caulked and resealed the shower, removed bathroom tile, replaced damaged subflooring, cut and installed new tile, repaired the hole in my kitchen ceiling, and repainted the kitchen -- all with excellent attention to detail. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the price was more than reasonable compared to the other options I was given. The owner is a genuinely nice and professional guy and his team was efficient, respectful, kind, and clearly took pride in their work. It's rare to find contractors who are this honest and dependable. Save yourself the time, frustration, and unnecessary expenses -- give Welkin Construction a call. They've earned my trust and will absolutely be my go-to company for future projects. Highly recommend!
