I am a Real Estate Broker in California that specializes in homes that are in default and my bank clients require my contractors to go above and beyond and carefully document and photograph their work, not every contractor get it right, but Economu Construction does! I have been using Economu on my bank owned properties for several years now and Ron as his crew immediately take care of business and I am impressed that they exceeded my expectations. I have even recommended Ron for an ADU contruction project and my client was extremely happy with the quality of work. I wanted to give a special shout out to Ron's employee Christian who rose to the occasion today and helped me do a trash out job for me for a very far flung property and the home came out fantastic and did a such good job of photographing their work I want to use their pics as my listing photos! Thank you so much Ron and your fantastic crew, you and your company are much appreciated! - Brent Andrew Hawker read more

I can't imagine anyone hiring these people to do anything. My wife and I recently purchased a home "remodeled" by Economu Construction. I use quotes because this is the shoddiest work I've ever seen in my life. Inspections on the home revealed some plumbing issues, which is no big deal. Most homes with original pipes in LA have some sort of issue. We budgeted for the plumbing. What we did not budget for is a severed main sewage line. These absolute amateurs not only severed the main line to the sewer, but they also pulled the old clay sewage pipes out of the ground. Then they proceeded to not replace the piping and hide the sewage line behind a new retaining wall, thinking that we wouldn't notice. This is not only amoral but illegal. Fortunately we were able to get a substantial amount of money back. Unfortunately, that was just one of many issues uncovered in the home. Poorly installed doors, fixtures, HVAC -- they couldn't even manage to bolt the door handles on straight. I'm guessing that these are just the cheapest option you can find. Buyer beware. read more

I'm a Realtor who has used Economu Construction for all three of my homes and my client's homes! I've always had great experiences with all their employees and staff members. I never refer anyone whom I have not used personally, and I mean it when I say they do fantastic work at great prices. I recently purchased a personal home and had a tight timeline when things needed to be completed by so we would be able to move out of our old house into the new one. Kyle Economu and Jason were able to make it happen and made it such a smooth/stress-free process for my family. I would like to personally thank Economus painters Enrique, Moises, Beto, and the other hard-working painters. These guys busted their tails every day on the job and did such a great job. I would also like to thank Economus plumber Victor. He installed all my house sinks and water fixtures. He re-did all the plumbing in the kitchen as well. Victor has also worked on all three of my homes and is highly knowledgeable in plumbing. I would also like to thank Economus countertop guys Albert and staff for their hard work and fast turn around time. Albert installed quartz countertops in all my bathrooms, hallway, and kitchen. Albert has done all three of my homes. His attention to detail is impressive! Last, but not least - I would highly like to thank their employee, Donald. He did all my light fixtures, all my closets, and installed all my fans. Donald was one of the hardest working guys I observed during the whole construction process. He works very hard, has a positive outlook on everything, and has an amiable personality. Thank you, Donald, for everything! Thank you, Economu for all your hard work! I look forward to working with you guys in the future, and I will continue to refer my clients! - Joshua Vigil read more

Another discovery of Economu cover-up construction. Ceiling fan in the bedroom was installed in a plastic box not rated for 18lbs ceiling fan with deck screws. Don't assume license guarantees you good outcome with Economu. Yesterday after it snowed here I noticed a patch on the roof being defrosted. My husband crawled in the attic and discovered that Economu removed the patio that apparently had a duct and left that duct laying in the attic buried under insulation. read more

When I wanted to work with them I showed them this link https://amp.businessinsider.com/most-miserable-cities-in-the-united-states-based-on-data-2019-9 They thought it was funny, I didn't think it was funny at all and their response is where they live they don't have any problems, wonder where they live? I'm looking for a home in Lancaster /Palmdale to possibly rehab since they advertise rehabbing homes but very disappointed with their customer service and I feel because I didn't have a house for them to sell and not in dire need of taking a loss they didn't take me seriously. You got it they don't want to work with me and the feeling is mutual. Funny they are rehabbing a home in Hemet that is in the 50 above read more

Beware buying any houses they remodel. They cut corners, and we have found multiple instances where they put a new face on old construction in ways that aren't up to code. See picture for example they literally put flooring on top of the old flooring. Avoid at all costs read more

Had the privilege today of having Victor the plumber from Economu Construction which did an excellent job and very fast & efficient. A team of 5 great hard working men from Economu that does gardening, took my fish pond, emptied it, took the fish out got all of the roots which were probably 20 years worth, rocks that I had collected to put around the pond, the liner cleaned out, everything filled and looks amazing. They did a wonderful job and I appreciate the great kindness also. thank you so much. EXCELLENT work read more

We've used Economu on several of our rehabs, and will continue to do so! Their work is quality and they care for what they do! We also enjoy referring them out to others! Thank you, Ron, Kyle, Jason, and team!! read more

Economu Construction is one of the best contractors I have ever used. They did a complete remodel of our kitchen. It is absolutely gorgeous! They stripped the kitchen all the way down to the bare wood walls. Replaced all the windows, doors, appliances and counters. The most beautiful granite countertop ever!! The floors are so nice look like wood but are super durable and my dogs toenails have not damaged it at all! They kept in touch with me and updated throughout the entire process. They did run over schedule due to lack of availability of materials but they kept me informed every step of the way. The staff is friendly and the price was great! Thanks to EVERYONE that made our kitchen into our DREAM kitchen! Ron, Kyle, Jason and Andrea you all rock!! read more

We purchased our first home this year and I found out it was a home renovated by Economu! Every detail was so well thought out! My favorite part of my home is my bathroom! If your looking for a home I highly recommend looking at homes they have available when you are ready to buy! read more

We chose Economu based on some local feedback, and when we hired them, the estimate was it would take 4 weeks - it ended up taking 5 months, they put plastic down to protect the floors, then left for a month or more, with the plastic still down - eventually my wife got angry enough to rip it up; we didn't get the toilet we were supposed to get, the communication was next to nothing from them - my wife was basically the project manager and yet we paid a bundle for them to "manage" the bathroom renovation. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a lot to choose from in the Palmdale/Lancaster area, but I would definitely steer clear of Economu. They did have some great subcontractors - they too are probably limited in who they can get work from in the area, so maybe they have no other choice, but my advice is find a different contractor. read more

I wanted to give an update on this amazing company. I sold my first house that I purchased from them, and I used their in-house agent and ended up getting an above asking offer! I purchased another home that they renovated and it is absolutely beautiful! New wood tile planks through out, central vacuum system, new bathrooms, I can go on and on! I used their in-house agent to purchase my new home and closed escrow in 13 days!!! This company is amazing and you can tell they truly love what they do. read more

I was the listing agent for several Fannie Mae owned (REO) rehab properties. Fannie hired Economu Construction to perform the rehab work. The work was done on time and within the specified budget. I had no problems with any of the work or workers. Things got done when they were supposed to get done and if there happened to be an issue with the work it was taken care of in a timely fashion and to my satisfaction. I've worked with many general contractors over the years and I've found Economu to be one of the best. read more

I have not personally purchased a home renovated by Economu construction or had work done by them but I actively follow them on social media and their work is incredible. You can really tell by the photos and descriptions of the homes that they truly take pride in their work. Economu construction is building up the community one home at a time. I hope one day we get the opportunity to have work done by them! Thank you for what you do and for alllll of the inspiration! read more

Economu has done countless work for me. Every time I need anything done I turn to them for their expertise and professionalism. Would definitely recommend! read more

The work this company has done is incredible! Loving the "farmhouse" vibe they incorporate in some of their homes (:

Hello! My review is late, but then I can say for certain that I have had ZERO major issues with the home I purchased which was rehabbed by Economu Construction. I purchased a home in Lancaster in November of 2017 and I am still just as happy as the day I moved in. Economu did a beautiful and most important, QUALITY, job on the remodel of this home. More important I'd like to say that I had a chance to interact with the owner himself and I really thought he was a man with integrity. He cared about his work and my satisfaction. He made himself available to me in case I had any questions/concerns, and when I did have an issue with some of the electrical outlets not working, he sent someone out immediately to repair a damaged breaker (or something of the sort). I also decided I wanted to change the flooring (from carpet/laminate) to something more pet friendly , and he helped me find someone to install it for me. He oversaw that project and they did an amazing job! My floors are beautiful. I would not hesitate to purchase another home rehabbed by Economu Construction. read more

I was recently tracked down, through certified letter, by none other than Mr. Economu himself, along with his attorney, to remove my libelous Yelp.com posting. Apparently, my frustrations were misguided and my understanding of my right to a recovery from Economu was misperceived. In light of receiving the aforementioned letter, I decided that I would not delete my review; instead, I will edit/update using only the facts and perhaps get rid of the somewhat... colorful language from my previous review. On 6/18/09, the listing agent of the seller, Fannie Mae (FM), forwarded two Maintenance & Repair Work Authorizations (Authorizations) approved by the Asset Manager (AM) to Economu Construction. The Authorizations were made in conjunction with one of the provisions of sale for the condo, which outlined that the buyer (me) would be entitled to a $5000 improvement credit. The Authorizations were dated 6/17/09 and the work was to be completed before I closed on the condo. Prior to closing, Economu was able to complete approximately $3000 worth of the contracted work to include purchasing and installing a dishwasher, painting the entire interior, and the clean up required after those services were completed. However, the remainder of the work, which included installing flooring in the kitchen and bathroom, glazing of the bathroom tub, and cleaning up, was not completed prior to closing. The sale of my condo closed and recorded on 6/24/09, and despite the fact that the work was not completed, I began to move my household goods into my condo, as it was my legal right to do so. The move had a slow start and ultimately, I moved the majority of my items during the weekend. While moving my items in on Sunday, 6/28/09, subcontractors hired by Economu arrived to complete the remaining work. However, since I was moving in, the contractors and I decided it would be best to postpone the work to another date. In an effort to maintain an open line of communication, my real estate agent was in contact with Economu Construction and upon realizing the sale was completed and the subcontractors would now need permission to enter the premises, supervision by me if they wanted to complete work, and other logistical challenges, it was agreed that Economu would refund me the remaining $2000 upon Economu's receipt of payment from Fannie Mae. On 7/7/09, my real estate agent received an email confirming that the $2000 would be refunded. I waited a couple months before contacting Economu regarding the refund as I assumed FM had not paid them; however, upon talking to Economu over the phone, it was apparent that Economu had been paid by FM. On 9/21/09, my real estate agent sent an email to Economu Construction which forwarded the email from 7/7/09 outlining the information discussed above. On 9/24/09, Economu responded outlining their reasons for not providing a refund, which included two very reasonable arguments: 1) I was not their client and FM was and 2) the person who agreed to refund the remaining $2000, in writing and orally, was not authorized to do so. The email also outlined inaccurate information with regard to when I closed and when the workers were turned away; however, the main take away from the email appeared to be the fact that they were hired by FM, not me, therefore, any uncompleted work and related refund would be to FM, not me. Furthermore, the employee who said it would be ok to refund the money was not authorized to do so and also, no longer worked at Economu. Of note, all emails discussed above to Economu or from Economu were all from the same email address and there was never any reason to believe that the person who agreed to refund the money was not an authorized agent acting on behalf of Economu and within her realm of responsibility. Also, since all emails are from the same email address, it is difficult to draw the line between who has authority and who doesn't. Based on this information, I provided Economu with one final notice demanding payment of the $2000 before I pursued them legally in small claims court on 9/24/09. On 9/25/09, I was contacted by a FM employee to discuss the final notice. After approximately two weeks, I received a letter and a refund from Economu Construction. . read more

I hired them for exterior paint. They were fantastic! Responded quickly to concerns, their workers were fast and efficient and they completely cleaned up their mess. My home looks like new. Thank you! read more

These homes are always so beautiful. It's so cool to see the before and after photos and watch the homes transform before your eyes!

I recently moved into a house rehabbed by Economu Construction. I was blown away by the changes made to the house! For an older home it sure doesn't show its age now. The attention to detail inside and outside was flawless. Our new neighbors have given the house so many compliments. They were so happy to see the eye sore turn into one of the nicest houses in the neighborhood. Thank you Economu Construction for making my house a home! read more

Economu construction is one of the best contractors out there. I have worked with them for years through my previous and current occupations. They are timely, helpful, professional and will take care of you. They have handled numerous rehabs and many simple cleaning jobs. I would recommend Economu every time! read more

Horrible. This company is the definition of fly by night. I have the same issues as the person before me here. They were hired to do work by Fannie Mae and they decided to just not do some of it all together and other work they just slapped some paint on and said they did it. They don't comply with codes and they do some of the worst work I have ever seen. I'm speaking as a person that has been in the construction business for over 10 years not just a homeowner. I even took pictures of EVERYTHING!! read more

We purchased an Economu rehab home in November, 2014. We were so impressed with all of the tasteful upgrades! Everyone that visits our home comments on how beautiful it is. From the carpet to the light fixtures! A few weeks ago we discovered a small leak in our kitchen that was behind some cupboards. Because it was hidden it went undetected for some time and did significant damage to the wood and drywall. I called Economu and they sent someone out the next day to look at the damage. A few days later workers arrived promptly at their scheduled time and began working. As promised, the work was completed by the end of the day. Economu's staff was polite, attentive and informative. Their work is excellent and I recommend them to anyone who is looking to rehab a home or remodel/upgrade. read more

I am a seasoned (40 years) real estate investor, and Certified Property Manager. I acquire orphaned and abandoned property all over the US that requires repair and restoration to bring them back to use. I used Economu Construction in 2011 for 4 homes in their area. Their work was excellent, on time, on budget. I still own those homes, and now need some work done. I will contact Economu again to assist me. read more

Had a scheduled appointment and they never showed up. Also had a confirmation email from Christina stating that I was on the schedule. I took a day off work to be home for the appointment and they were a no show!!!! Would not recommend them!!!! read more

I recently bought a home refurbished by the guys at Economu and I am thoroughly impressed. The workmanship and quality is spot on and the price was very reasonable. I know they are contracted by the banks to rehab the homes but the amount of detail they put into the home would make you think they were working directly for the consumer. I hope they work on some more houses on my street! read more
