We hired Luis to renovate our bathroom back in January. He was always very pleasant and accommodating but from the beginning his work was very slow. He brought in different people to work but they only seemed to work 3-4 hours per day. Luis seemed very disorganized as he often would show up very late or not at all and was quite distracted while he was working. After the second month had gone by and tile work hadn't started, we began to convey our frustrations. Luis hired his cousin Eligio to install the tile and perform additional work. The floor tile went in first and it looks good, but halfway through the shower tiling is when the quality problems began. One morning I went to the garage and the inside was covered in tile dust. Eligio was cutting tiles in our garage with our car and our neighbor's car. We had to pay for carwashes. The tile saw was close the car he scratched the car with a tile. Luis said he would take care of the scratch but never did. The bottom half of the shower's tiles are aligned and even, but most all of the top half of the tiles are misaligned and uneven to the point where Luis agreed it was unacceptable. The corners where tiles meet should be trimmed out with tile trim, but it most cases they did not install the trim, which leaves the raw tile edge exposed. He blamed his cousin for the previous delays and poor tiling and promised to get another tiler to correct the work. He never did. Toward the end of our experience with Luis we had visitors and gave Luis the week off, which he appreciated because he was working too many jobs at once. He also took the following week off which was not agreed upon. The week after that he said he could come Wednesday and that's when all of our patience was exhausted. We told him this was unacceptable and we needed him full-time until the job was complete. We never heard from him again after several amicable attempts to re-engage him. Luis left this bathroom renovation about ¾ complete and forced us to pay another contractor to finish the remaining tasks including: connect power outlets to the exposed wires, install shelving, install fixtures, move a recessed ceiling light, install exhaust fan, install molding, hang mirrors, and repair a drywall hole. read more

My experience with McElite was great! Luis is the best! He responded to my inquiry very quickly & is just a pleasure to work with. He definitely went out of his way to help me. Luis is a professional & the job was done to perfection. My master bathroom tub was leaking hot water. He came, looked at it, & told me exactly what he needed to do & what the cost would be. He changed out the faucet plus I went ahead & also had him replace the faucet on the sink in that bathroom. I'm very happy with the work Luis did & I will definitely hire him again. I need to replace my garbage disposal so I'll be calling him for that very soon. I also have some other projects that I'm planning to do which I've already talked to Luis about & when the time comes I'll have him do these for me. read more

After so many consultations I found the perfect person to remodel my kitchen.. Luis definitely out did himself he was very efficient He accommodated small repairs at no cost Very prompt when replying to my emails . Moving forward I will definitely use the company for further jobs .... Thank you Luis your work ethics are amazing. read more

Luis and his partner were fabulous to work with from start to finish! McElite was very responsive to my initial asks and worked with my building (high rise) on their COI and everything leading up to my project. They replaced all of my valves (old for new ones), replaced a toilet, faucet, and garbage disposal! Leading up to the day of, Luis even sent me pictures to make sure I had everything needed and even ran to a hardware store nearby to get one other item (a bolt broke off he wanted to replace). They went above and beyond to get me what I needed! They are a family owned business who I would strongly recommend and likely will be using them again for future projects I have. Thanks Luis and team!! read more

Luis was operating as MC Elite a few months ago with a different phone number. I would not recommend him for any large type of repair. The details are boring, but after numerous delays and over a month and a half of very slow progress on a shower rehab, the work basically stopped (this was a couple weeks after I was told the work would be done). There were excuses about sickness and not being able to get any help, but it was just too much and then he became unresponsive. This was all after paying him over $10k. We had to pay extra to get another contractor to do the work - they finished completely in 4 days (and were very professional in terms to the mess they didn't make - they even cleaned up after Luis.) If you do use him -disregarding numerous similar bad reviews-, don't pay more than half until the job is completely done! read more

Update to my previous review: Even though the business reached out after my previous review offering a refund or discount on future projects, they once again stopped responding to my follow up messages and I never received my refund. read more

Luis was very quick and responsive to my first plumbing issue. He came to replace my faucet sink which he did and laid out the invoice and cost for me which I liked. I soon after had a clog in my sink so had asked him to come out and fix it. I had a set appointment and when the time came I txted and called and no answer at first. 30 mins later he called back and said they thought my appointment at earlier that day and would try to get someone out asap. Some time went by and heard nothing. I tried reaching out again to see what was going on and nothing. I don't appreciate this unprofessionalism when someone needs your assistance. read more

Luis is a nice guy, but theft is theft. I paid 70 upfront for a 150 job, luis changed his number and ghosted me.

My faucet was broken and Luis came out right away and repaired it for a great price. They are courteous fast and skilled. I would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

Great experience working with Luis and Eligio. My kitchen sink had backed up over the weekend and Luis was quick to respond to my inquiry for plumbing assistance. We had scheduled a date and time in which they followed up the morning of and arrived according to schedule. They were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about the whole process, explaining what had happened, how they fixed the clog, and tips that could help stop clogs from occurring in the future. Overall, definitely would recommend them and I look forward to working with the team again for other projects I have in the future. read more

Luis and Eligio were fantastic, I reached out to them to support with installing an electric cooktop. My property was remodeled before I purchased and figuring out the wiring in the basement was challenging. Luis and Eligio were very diligent in investigating and understanding all the wiring without breaking through all the walls. I truly appreciate their attention to detail and every effort they did to do re-wiring most efficiently and effectively. They were quick to respond to my inquiry, provide a quote and schedule and complete work. read more

I was in contact with Luis to fix an issue with my sink's water pressure. Luis rescheduled his services with me due to an emergency which is understandable. We rescheduled for a Friday. No contact on Friday at all. I sent a message asking where he was our designated time, and he said that he got covid. I asked him why he couldn't contact me before hand, and he said that he was "Sorry been trying to reschedule and get to everyone it's been a very long process I do apologize." I still have a broken sink and have wasted a week on trying to fix it. read more

Luis finally responded when I put in a new request for quotes on yelp thinking I was a new customer. He said he is injured and that's why he hadn't responded, but that his cousin would come out today at 5pm. It's now 6:30pm, nobody came and he won't respond again. read more

McElite where very informed and reliable. Assessed the problem quickly and provided an estimate before showing up and stood by it. I used them for some plumbing repairs and they were very easy to work with. I would definitely use them again. read more

I have already reviewed this company. We were more than satisfied with their promptness, work ethic, price, reliability etc. will hire again! read more

Excellent customer service and absolutely did a great job in replacing our toilet. Highly recommend.

Got in contact with Luis for a plumbing issue and he was at my door the next morning for a free consult, taught me what was wrong easily and politely, then quoted what it'd take to fix it, including what I'd have to let the building know about, etc. Even cleaned out the faucet and showed up the build up, and talked about different options of ways we could go. Super helpful and easy, and can't wait to have him back to finish the job! read more

Luis helped us install the RO water filtration system under kitchen sink. He did a fantastic job and offered a one year warranty. His price is lower than what's quoted else but the work quality is very good. I would recommend him to my friends. read more

Will recommend Luis as the vendor who can trust and rely on. Quote response fast and also professional for the service. The problem solved in one day, technically saying is in 5 hours starting from the quote, accept appointment and get the work done. Thank you so much read more

Luis helped us install a new kitchen sink at our high rise condo. He charged us a flat rate which is great because it saved me the hassle of worrying about hourly rates or dispatch fees etc. Luis and his partner were knowledgeable and great at troubleshooting issues. They first started with sink removal, dry-fitting the new sink, then went to Home Depot to pick up any necessary supplies. They were friendly and organized with receipts and invoicing. They stayed around after the installation to ensure there was no leak in the pipes, which there was due to an old pipe, so they spent another hour finetuning and even went back to Home Depot for another hardware. Overall I highly recommend. read more

Our kitchen sink and dishwasher flooded. I reached out to Eligio for assistance and he was able to completely fix our pipes in less than 24 hours!! He is responsive, helpful, and very friendly. We are so grateful Eligio was able to fix our pipes quickly and affordably! 10/10 recommend Eligio for any of your plumbing needs. I know I will be reaching out again soon to get a dishwasher installed! Thank you again Eligio for all of your help!!! read more

Needed a simple switch removed and they were fast, helpful and the most affordable. I'll work with them again in the future.

Reliable and professional service. Luis and Eligio genuinely care for their customers. Strongly recommend. Thank you.

we had them replace a toilet, told us it needed a new flange and needed to come back because it was an all day job and quoted $500 plus materials. came back at 1:30 in the afternoon and finished by 2:00. Hardly a whole day job. Discounted the labor to 400.00 and charged for materials. That's $800.00 per hour. first visit was fair, second visit complete rip off, buyer beware! read more

luis kept saying he would give an updated ETA and did not. eventually said he was on his way and was a no-show. I expect people to at least be considerate enough to call and cancel. read more

Came out to cap my water off in tub, was not prepare, so I let that pass, gave me a quote to do my bathroo, Had someone else to come out and they was astonud that a plumber would cap my water pipe off like he did and tear my wall out like that and charge me 247.50. he said that is so wrong that I should report him to the BBB and the ATTORNEY General for doing this to a senior.I will report him. all he did was cut a pipe and capped off my water to shower and tub. yes I will be reporting him. I am a senior with a fixed income. read more

My tenant informed me that his bathroom faucet would not stop dripping and I new it was time to replace it. I reached out on yelp and Eligio from McElite responded right away. I sent him pictures and he quoted me a price for the work. As soon as I purchased my new faucet I reached out again and we set up a time for him remove the old faucet and install the new one. He was punctual, respectful of my property, cleaned up after himself, and completed the work in a timely fashion. I will definitely contact Eligio next time I need a plumbing repair. read more

I Would definitely recommend McElite! My garbage disposal was not working and the sink was clogged. I contacted Luis and he was able to fit me in quickly. When he came he was on time and fixed the issue very quickly. I thought I was going to need to replace the disposal but he was able to unclog the sink and fix the disposal without replacing it. I will definitely be using McElite in the future for other repairs! read more

Good value, accommodating, quick to respond.

I was extremely stressed about replacing my main shut off. I have galvanized pipes so I knew it wasn't going to be cheap or easy. They gave me a flat rate estimate for all the work needed. They put my mind at ease. I think I'll finally be getting a good nights sleep tonight! read more

Eligio was professional, but chill. Charged a very fair price for great work and stayed in close communication through the process of getting electric sorted in my laundry room. Thanks, guy! read more

Initially when I reached out about my toilet continuously running, Luis was very responsive and was at my house within a day to take a look at it. He was able to fix it. I then had him come out again to check all the fixtures because I kept getting a letter from the utility company saying water was continuously running. I called the water company and they told me they needed a plumber to write a letter saying everything had been checked and they didn't see water running so I had Luis do a full inspection in preparation to write a letter for the water company. He came over, checked everything, asked me to take a few photos/ video of the water meter and then told me he would prepare a letter for me. I paid him $125 for the inspection. I sent the photos and am now am going on over two weeks of reaching out to him and he's been completely unresponsive. I had such a positive experience the first time, that this is really unfortunate. I planned to continue to use this business. I have texted and called multiple times asking for the letter. He has simply stopped responding and now I can't get my money back. I am deeply disappointed. read more

Luis and Eligio are amazing! Extremely responsive and they came by the same day I called to access the work needed.
