This rating should be more of a 4.5/5. Took the 0.5 off for the con listed below. All in all, I was very happy with the work and the turnaround time and would recommend them to friends/family. Pros: -Harry, the project manager, is VERY responsive, answering texts and suggesting materials whenever you have questions. He really does put you at ease. -Timelines: one of the biggest fears with renovations is how long it takes to get done and when problems cause delays. Harry and crew were very honest about the timeline for completion, who was doing what when, etc. They finished at exactly their quoted 3 week target date. -If there were any issues as mentioned in the cons section, they were immediately rectified and without argument. -They're cost effective and will do add-on projects for a reasonable price. Cons: -Some of the crew working on the project were a little less experienced than others. In my instance, the grout for one bathroom was inconsistent in color, so they had to spend a half day to redo it. You can tell they have other projects planned throughout the week, so they don't spend all their time focused on your house. If they did, they could probably shave more time off the project to be done faster.

Harry and the team at Freedom Renovation were great. Professional, punctual, communicative, polite, clean. Harry worked with me on the fly regarding a few unexpected issues and I could not have been happier with the process and results.

Dreams do come true thanks to Allen and his team at Freedom Renovation. I love my 100 year-old Colonial Spanish home in North Park but it came with one major flaw - it was constructed with one of the smallest and darkest kitchens that I have ever seen. Tacky tiles, weird walls and strange dimensions made this remodel feel unsurmountable and impossible to fix. Freedom Renovation is the company for you. The kitchen is the heart of the home and from day one, Allen made me feel like this project was just as important to him, as it was for me. Allen gently guides you through the entire process in a stress-free way. His company does it all. They have a beautiful selection of affordable countertops, cabinets and flooring and an amazing designer that will give you three dimensional renderings of all the unthinkable possibilities that await you. Attention to detail is extremely important to me so I am forever grateful for the hard-working team that Allen sent to my house. Unlike other companies that send a revolving door of different workers, Freedom Renovation has a dedicated crew just for you. Juan was simply the perfect blend of craftsman, problem-solver and artist. Despite the huge list of impossible quirks and challenges that this old house presented, he was able to conquer them all. And at every step, there was Allen checking in with multiple home visits and regular texts. Freedom Renovation kept all their promises and delivered a top to bottom renovation that truly exceed what I had thought was even possible. They made the space look twice its size with new lighting, contemporary white cabinets and a gorgeous countertop that is ready for creating new memories. At the end, they even sent a video crew to document the incredible transformation. It felt like my "HGTV moment" had finally arrived... At the heart of this company is Allen who is a man of character with a strong sense of family... even his older aunt helps out by sweeping the showroom floors. When you sign up to do a project with them, its more than just a renovation, you become a part of the family too. Thank you Freedom Renovation for this fairy-tale ending. What an experience! I am in LOVE with my kitchen and I can't thank you enough...

My husband and I did a 1.5-bathroom renovation with Freedom Renovation and we couldn't be happier with the results. Out of the 3 contracting companies that I received a quote from, not only was FR the lowest but they had stellar reviews on Yelp. It was also important for me that the company was a trustworthy one as I have heard too many horror stories of contractors bailing out on their clients after the full payment has been made or how contractors would not return after a job was done to fix any mistakes that were found. After meeting with Harry and Allen, they came off very knowledgeable and professional so we felt confident moving forward with them. They gave us a clear outline of what materials to buy and what materials they would provide. We received an estimated project duration of 1 month, but to our surprise, they actually finished 2 weeks in! I was shocked. Apparently it was bc we were such "good clients" that prepared everything we needed in advance and correctly? Haha, go figure. Although we were not physically present in the house for most of the renovation process, Harry would frequently text me updates on the project. I had very little to worry about bc the team worked so efficiently and cleaned up pretty nicely afterwards. When we noticed a few things that needed correcting (just a few minor paint touch-up's, installing a couple missing door stoppers, etc), Harry was responsive and attentive to my needs, even though the full payment had been made and our project was technically completed. I really appreciated that they didn't leave us in the dust just bc they got their money. No, they actually care about their clients and making sure they are happy with the results. As you will notice from the attached "before and after" photos, the difference is night and day. I really didn't think that a (successful) bathroom upgrade could affect my mood like this, but I am in awe every time I use the shower or flush the toilet, LOL. My biggest regret is that I didn't do this renovation sooner bc it has been quite a game-changer in my everyday life. I'm already looking forward to hiring them for my next home project, which will hopefully be my kitchen!

After speaking with several potential contractors, I ended up choosing Freedom Renovation for full bathroom remodel (shower, vanity, flooring, etc). Their schedule seemed to work best with my schedule, and of all the different construction managers we spoke to, Allen was the best at offering design/construction advice, though to be fair please don't expect him to be a full-on interior designer. Allen's team started and finished the project on time, within 2 weeks, and the end product looks really good. In my experience, nothing goes perfectly in a home remodel project, so the question is how receptive the manager is to your concerns and I found Allen to be very responsive. When we brought up any quality concerns to Allen, he took action to see how he could address them. When there were minor miscommunication issues, things were always resolved fairly. I waited a bit to write my review, in order to make sure everything is still working several weeks later, and I can say that everything in my remodeled bathroom is working out great.

Kitchen remodel

Update: 2/18/2022 We ended up having a couple of issues with our blue cabinet panels on the back side of our island, where they were dented and damaged during the installation process. One of the installers has used a drill and crushed the cabinet edge when installing the under cabinet outlet strip. Allen the PM had ordered new panels which would replace the damaged panels. The team returned to replace the damaged panels with new ones and unfortunately in the process split the seams on the left side of our island countertop and waterfall. I honestly wish they didn't come back. We've had 3 return visits since the initial work was completed and the quality of work has diminished significantly with each visit, creating more damage and need for additional repairs in the process. It's clear the team has checked out now that this job is finished in their book and they have moved onto the next thing, but it's really disappointing, especially considering the effort and quality of work that was initially put into this job. We have paid in excess of $50,000 to have our kitchen remodeled, so understandably expect better. I've reached out to Allen numerous times in recent weeks to share my concerns about the remaining issues, but have received little in the way of empathy and have basically been told its part of the job and these things happen, nothing is perfect etc. At the end of the day, when you pay as much money as we did for a kitchen renovation, you expect quality, perhaps not perfection, as few things are perfect, but these are obvious issues that could've been avoided with some patience and care from the team. It's disappointing that we are left to deal with the consequences and are left with so many issues as a result of someone else's errors. After our initial interactions with Allen and the Freedom team, we really had high hopes of working with them again for future remodeling projects e.g. bathrooms etc. but this has left a sour taste in our mouths and we'll be looking at alternative contractors for any future projects.

My husband and I bought a condo that hadn't been touched since the 80's. It needed a full remodel to say the least. We interviewed 7 contractors and freedom renovation was our choice. Allen & Harry and their team were on time, efficient, responsive to our needs and fast! We loved that they have a show room which makes it much easier to visualize the finished design. Their team worked their butts off to finish within a month because we were on a time crunch. They have exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them to anyone remodeling their home. We will using them again in the future for any project big or small. Thank you so much!!

We had Freedom Renovation remodel our kids bathroom. Unfortunately, the workmanship was average at best. Their tile setter used so much thinset on the subfloor that when we put new flooring down, the contractor had to have a custom transition piece made because the transition was so high. I even asked the tile setter why he used so much thinset but he couldn't understand me because he didn't speak English. Other items were the faucet handles were installed backwards, the groutlines on the tile floor and the shower walls had missing grout all over. Lastly, the paint job wasn't good either. We had our master bathroom done by another contractor and the idea was to give another contractor a try before our major kitchen remodel. Needless to say, I will not be calling Freedom Renovation for our kitchen remodel. We will stick with Lumina Builders.

We recently had Freedom Renovation back to our home to do a few more projects. They did a fantastic job again this time around, maybe even more impressive than the bathroom project we did with them a couple years ago! This time, we did some updates to our master bathroom, as well as adding recessed lighting to our kitchen ceiling, and converting a living room sliding glass door to a window. Allen and his team were incredibly organized and professional from beginning to end. Any concerns that I had along the way were addressed and clarified, I received frequent updates on the progress, and the team struck a nice balance of moving quickly without sacrificing quality. This project involved plumbing, tiling, framing, drywall, painting, stuccoing and more, and the quality of the finished product is awesome! We'll definitely be contacting Freedom Renovation when it is time for our next home project!

I was so impressed with the job that I felt it was only right that I share their business. The job was done quick, and the finish was immaculate. I should have taken some photos of before the job... but I forgot to. I never had a kitchen so nice, and now I look forward to cooking every day. I highly recommend their services. Great service and communication. I will definitely use their service again and recommend them to my family and friends.

I wrote another review about this team's doing a fantastic job on our tile project, but this one is on the beautiful kitchen they created for us! Allen and his team worked tirelessly to get our kitchen done in less than 2 weeks! This is something you won't find with every company. Allen takes pride in making your job the focus, completing it as quickly as possible so you/your family can go back to living comfortably. He is very responsive, patient, and professional. He made me feel like a VIP. We are do-it-yourselfers who had done a lot of demo prior to the project. In doing some work ourselves, we created a few messes for Allen's team. But, he took it all in stride and treated us with utmost respect and kindness. He gave us so many helpful suggestions and helped us create our dream kitchen without breaking the budget. Allen's team is comprised of pros who work quickly yet methodically. They keep their work area clean and leave your home looking as nice as possible when they leave each day. They were very respectful of both our home and our family. They made sure we were comfortable and asked questions as needed to ensure they were doing exactly what we wanted in the kitchen. I cannot say enough about Allen and his team. We are so grateful to them for their hard work, dedication to professionalism, and their ability to complete our kitchen so quickly! *Lights are from Bellacor, appliances are black stainless steel LG, island range hood is Zephyr, and the backsplash tile was from Wayfair (we special ordered and had everything delivered to our house for the team to install).

Freedom Renovation just finished our kitchen remodel and overall it came out absolutely perfect! The timeline for work completion was exactly on time (3 weeks). The team was extremely respectful, patient, and helpful with all of our questions and concerns. With Freedom Renovation, we were able to get more items included for the same price as other contractors were quoting. The only thing I would suggest to be careful of is to thoroughly reviewing the final contract before signing to make sure absolutely every detail is wrote in.

If you're looking to renovate your home, look no further than Freedom Renovation Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling. The 5.0 reviews don't lie. Check out our before and after photos for impressive results. When Allen came in for estimates, we knew immediately that he was the type of project manager we wanted to work with--straightforward, transparent, and no BS personality. Our project included installation of new floors and a complete kitchen renovation. Throughout our search to find the right contractor, other companies gave us estimates that were exceeded our budget, for what we thought, would be a simple project for a ~1,100 square feet condo. Well, when we discussed our vision and strict budget, Allen was able to make it a reality. We signed the contract, then him and his crew were able to finish everything in three weeks. I repeat, in three weeks! Our expected time of completion was two months, but they managed to cut that time in half, even during labor and supply shortages in the US. When we spoke to Allen's crew during construction, everyone including the electrician, floor installers, etc. were all gracious, respectful, and professional. On the final day of construction, Allen visited our condo and assisted his crew to inspect and clean all of the finishes of the project. He even went further to instruct us on how to maintain and clean our new home. Allen reassured us that he was a phone call away if anything didn't work after they left. Coincidentally, we noticed that two outlets did not work and the outlet box for our microwave wasn't installed into the wall. We called him and he had his crew come back and fix everything. This review can't fully encapsulate the great appreciation and support we have for this company. Renovations are daunting, stressful and expensive, but know that you are in good hands with Allen and his team. They go above and beyond to meet your needs. We're going back to Freedom for our next project, you should sign with them too.

Review Update (2026)…read more I am updating my original 5-star review from a few years ago. At the time, we were very happy with our kitchen remodel and the overall experience working with Creative Design & Build. The project turned out beautifully, which is why I originally left such a positive review. Over the years, however, I noticed that one section of the flooring felt slightly soft when walking on it. At first, it did not seem serious, so we continued to live with it. Recently, the problem became worse and a section of the floor began to noticeably sink when stepped on and eventually a few edges of the flooring broke. At that point, I became concerned that it could become a safety issue. Because we still had plenty of spare flooring boards left over from the project, I attempted to replace the affected board myself. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the new board to fit correctly due to the locking system, and I could not restore the original board either. I then contacted Creative Design & Build for assistance. One reason I reached out was because our original project manager, Oded, had told us that if we ever had any issues, we should contact the company. I left a voicemail and later received a return call from a staff member. After I explained the situation, she said she would check with management and get back to me. A few days later, I received a text message stating that the warranty had expired and that no repairs would be covered. This was disappointing because I had never been informed that there was a four-year warranty period, nor was I able to find any reference to such a limitation in our contract. When I asked for details regarding the warranty and whether they could recommend someone to repair the issue, I did not receive any further response. There were two other issues relating to electrical and plumbing, however we decided to live with that until we had a major problem we needed fixing. I still appreciate the work that was done on our remodel years ago, and our kitchen remains a space we enjoy. However, I have been disappointed by the lack of follow-up and support when a problem arose. My advice to future customers is to make sure all warranty terms, coverage details, and expiration dates are clearly documented and understood before signing a contract.
