GAXL construction was excellent to work with promptly showed up at 8 o'clock in the morning workers took lunch break and worked their tails off complete restoration of bathrooms. A pleasure to work with all workers were respectful of existing property and put up with medical problems such as oxygen extremely careful with all my medical equipment, necessary cleaned up protected clothing, and furniture from dust paint in the works. Maintained a safe area for me to get around with my inmobilities they did everything to my liking and left me with a beautiful walk-in shower and a bidet safety bars grab bars a beautiful job well done with workers like Luis and Eduardo working to please me and give me exactly what I wanted and in my bathroom was a pleasure to see such fine work and respectful attitude. The cost was reasonable and everything to my specifications. Definitely will call them for further projects.

After Carpet

Over All 5 STARS ***** Service 5 STARS ***** Communication 5 STARS ***** Cost 4.8 STARS ***** **** Project done for Mathnasium of Dublin **** Working with GAXL was great. We were moving to a new location, project included to the do the flooring ( remove the existing tile to do carpet ), painting walls, a bit of plumbing work, adding a door to storage room and attain ADA compliant bathroom. Jose owner of the company was great to work with along with his crew. He was able to pull the required permits from the city and he was able to address the questions the city officials had to approve the permit. They were able to complete all of the above said work in a little over 2 weeks as promised. The cost of the project was reasonable pricing comparing with the other contractors and lower than some of the quotes I got. I gave 4.8 as few of the material costs were higher but that is very small percentage of the whole project. A minor issue popped up of the work they have done at the bathroom sink which is not related to their job but Jose was able to take care of that without any additional charge. I would recommend them for your future project without any hesitation.

I was very impressed with GAXL Construction & Plumbing from start to completion. From the very beginning, Andy, Project Manager - was great to work with and a very good guide (suggested water proof flooring and provided 3 flooring locations to check). We had a bathroom floor which I knew had wood rot underneath from plumbing back ups and toilet leaking issues over the years. I originally thought it was a minor repair, but the wood rot was so bad-a whole section had to be replaced. GAXL's staff arrived on time, wore masks the entire time, put on shoe covers each time they walked through our house, they removed all the debris, plus they were all very polite as well. I was promised that the project would take a day, possibly two. To my amazement (and joy) they finished in one day even though the project was a much larger job than expected. Thank you GAXL for your professionalism and we love our new flooring! Great job guys! I will hire them again when needed. If you're looking for a construction & plumbing company that you can trust, call GAXL! They're solid and they are licensed!!

I hired GAXL construction in May 2021 for backyard tiles work. Jose and crew did a phenomenal job changing the entire backyard. Before the work began my backyard was a complete mess with tree roots and all sorts of plants/shrubs grown wild. Guys from GAXL patiently removed/demoed the backyard completely, removed all tree stumps and made it level. Then his guys put concrete and tiles. The work was well executed and completed on time. Jose and his team was very professional, hard working and resourceful. I will hire them back for another project next year.

We hired Y Group Remodeling to do a partial remodel of our guest bathroom. Everything from the…read moreplanning, execution, and follow-up is 5-stars. We are relatively new for remodeling so its good to have a full-service company handle all the permits, inspections, and design suggestions. The Scope: Replace toilet, convert old shower-tub combo with walk-in shower, install new dry floor, upgrade electrical, install new vanity light, install new bathroom fan, and repaint bathroom interior. Aaron was the one who gave the estimate and rough outline of project plan. The team then assigned three designers work with us (Paola, Joanna, and Valentina (sp?) and select tiles, colors and layouts. Everyone was in constant communication through group chat. After all the parts and components were ordered by us (Home Depot, Amazon, etc.) and delivered to our home, Y Group set up the project start date. It took about 2 weeks to complete the job. The team put up plastic covers wall-to-wall and floor protection for the whole job. Despite just working on one bathroom, there's lot of dust and noise generated with different folks coming in and out each day. Inspections were scheduled extremely quickly and they passed each with flying colors. My wife also applauded the tile installers for their cleanup each day - they literally carried a bucket of water up the stairs and manually wiped the floor at the end of shift. In the end, thrilled our newly remodeled bathroom. I would definitely consider Y Group for future remodeling projects. Their integrated project management, design, and execution team are superb.

Aaron had thoughtful ideas about new layouts for our small bathroom, and kindly returned to work through a second concept. He had a great balance of listening to our needs, plus honestly telling us when in his professional experience something wouldn't work in our small room. Their price was right in line with other quotes and we chose Y Group based on Aaron's collaborative approach with us. Paola managed the project and was amazing to work with. She was also very collaborative in approach, and met us multiple times in different showrooms to look at options for tiles, cabinets etc. She had great design ideas while also hearing us on our tastes and preferences. Once the project started she regularly checked in on progress, and dealt with the minor issues that always come up with large projects professionally. We went with a custom vanity and linen closet design from Luis and Gervin, cabinet makers they work with regularly -- it looks and feels wonderful and really maximized the usable space vs. commercial options. Walter the foreman did great work throughout, especially with the large 24x48" tiles. These are hard to work with, and every joint is perfect. Our small bathroom needed a lot of thoughtful touches to really come together, and they nailed it -- the design has really transformed the space. I highly recommend Y Group Remodeling!

My husband and I had a great experience working with Construction&More on our kitchen and bathroom…read moreremodel! We wanted to get our home ready for our newborn baby, so having everything come together and be finished on time was really important to us. From the beginning, communication was easy, and the team did a great job listening to our ideas and making sure the details from our original design plans were carried through. The kitchen fabrication turned out beautiful, and you can really see the attention to detail in the finished work. We also really appreciated that the pricing was affordable and that the project stayed on schedule. Avi and Joseph were our project managers, and they helped make the whole process go smoothly. Having a remodel done can be stressful, especially when you're preparing for a new baby, but we felt good about the work being done and loved seeing everything come together. Overall, we're really happy with how our kitchen and bathroom turned out. Between the quality of the work, easy communication, reasonable pricing, and finishing on time, we would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to remodel their home!

The communication, timeliness, and finish quality was just not there with our project…read more I'm not sure if this is because of a deficiency in project management, or because of the poor contracting. From the beginning, we were never given a good sense of timeline and when parts of the project were to be completed. Contractors would not show up on days when we were told they would come, and they would randomly show up on days where we were not given any warning and we had to be at work. The contractors that came to spray texture on the walls showed up at 7pm on a Friday night. We felt bad they had traveled so far and so late, but amazed that nobody had thought to communicate their arrival to us. Because the contractors would show up at random times and complete random parts of the project, we were always being forced to rush order parts that we didn't have on hand. This included a dishwasher air gap, a garbage disposal, and the cabinet handles. As professionals, why wouldn't they have a list of required finishes for all their customers? There were also just other instances of poor management. They miscalculated how much slab we needed, so they charged us extra for that as well. The handles on the cabinets were badly misaligned, and looked like nobody had measured the distances to the edges of the cabinets. We had to ask for this to be fixed. There was a missing finished edge on the cabinet end by the dishwasher, which we also had to ask to be fixed. We had to ask for so many basic things like having our window screen reinstalled and the window lock reattached 2 weeks AFTER the final inspection passed. If the final inspection is done already, there's no more excuses for delays in finishing a project. There was no final walkthrough once everything was done. We just noticed that one of the cabinet faces has a huge scratched up area where it looks like someone colored it in with a crayon. Shouldn't this sort of damage be disclosed to your customer without us having to scrutinize? In conclusion, if you look at the work from a distance, it's up to code and done fine. The whole experience has been so dragged out, however, that at this point we can't even be bothered with calling out the weird crayon thing.

My bathroom was very outdated and probably hadn't been updated since the house was constructed in 1960. I met with more than five contractors and from the start, Yovel proved he had experience, a point of view on what would work for us, and an easy going manner. LB's quote was fair and they were upfront about potential change orders or other costs that might come up (not surprising for such an outdated bathroom!). Throughout the project, Yovel kept me updated on progress and sought my opinion when different options were available on how to proceed. In one instance, he came up with a great way to cut the tile so I could avoid paying for a whole extra box. The updates were particularly important for me because I didn't stay at the house during this renovation, because this was my only bathroom. I gave me the peace of mind that everything was under control when I couldn't personally be there to oversee things or give input. The bathroom turned out AMAZING and it's easily my favorite room in the house now. I would happily work with them again on my next home renovation.

I called DiBlasi Restoration and spoke with Frank DiBlasi, the owner of his independent company. He met me at the house the next day and assessed the situation. Thankfully he was able to send his professional two-man crew the following day. The two men were efficient and clearly competent, perfect for the task at hand. The bedroom issues were easily resolved, but the bathroom is where they really succeeded. Not only was the mold wiped and removed, the surrounding tile grout was scrubbed and shiny like new. A nice touch by these guys. After a weekend of dehumidifying Frank took air samples in each affected room and sent them to an independent lab. All the tests passed with flying colors. I would recommend DiBlasi Restoration in a heartbeat. Frank has been at this for several successful decades and is righteously confident in his methods and protocols. On top of that, he's just decent business owner who is fair and square with his customers.

We kicked off this latest project four years ago (yes, four!), and Rick has been with us EVERY step of the way. What started as an extension of the house evolved into a garage office and a kitchen remodel. Rick helped guide us through the permit process, and understanding all the steps of the remodel including demo , electrical, insulation, flooring, cabinets, countertops, roof, stucco, plumbing and more - there is an untold amount of information to know and understand, and Rick is amazing at communicating all the pieces along the way. We are in an older house and hit some electrical and tree snags along the way, and before I even knew they were issues, Rick already had his team out at my house assessing the situation and working on a plan for how to fix the issues and stay on track. We are not a very "handy" family, so it's SO comforting to have someone like Rick who is a total expert in this area - he is an excellent builder, but also has a really great eye for what the finished product should look like. Our office is OUTSTANDING, it came together to look fantastic and it's so functional, and our kitchen is looking AMAZING! I have heard some folks say they have long pauses in the middle of their projects while they wait for plumbing or electrical - we have never experienced that. Rick has been amazing at scheduling out all the parts of the project and allowing for flexibility when needed - someone is always here working on the next thing. We clearly CANNOT say enough good things about Kaitz Construction!
