[Original review was at 3.5 stars rounded down to 3 stars. However, I received some VERY unpleasant…read morecommunication from the "branch manager", Eran Chan, subsequent to my review post. He demanded that I provide my identifying information, ignored my request for privacy based on the review, and made accusations that I used a fake contractor. It was irksome enough to remove an additional star. Remainder of review remains in tact.] As first time homeowners, we discovered that the market for construction/ remodel help is difficult to find in San Diego. It's hard to filter out the reliable reviews from those who are associated to the business owners. This is heavily prevalent on Yelp and exceptionally so for service providers: it's important to notice how many of those 5 star reviewers have (1) no yelp activity, (2) no yelp friends, and (3) created the yelp account close in time to the date the review was placed. You should be cautious of the veracity of these reviews. With Treeium, you'll find a that there are some valid reviews and some questionable. I lend mine as one backed by evidence. To date I am the only Yelp Elite reviewer. I'd be happy to pass along my complete sentiments privately. I selected Treeium from -- you guessed it-- yelp. My husband, who's the more calm and friendly individual between us two, was the one to receive the initial marketing pitch from the company (we'll leave identification of individuals private). Overall, I would say they do a great pitch. The representative that they send is friendly, knowledgeable, and conveys a strong level of confidence in how the project will go, etc. The individual came back a second time to talk to me with my husband.. and even I was thoroughly convinced by the pitch. Once you sign the paper, that's where the rollercoaster ride starts. The first guys that came in were kind enough to lay down carpet covers to avoid stomping around in our Asian household (read: NO SHOES INSIDE) and on our brand new carpet. Subsequent contractors were less respectful and didn't bring shoe covers. We had to lay down our own carpet covers. Thankfully I wasn't present for most of the process because I'm sure I would have raised hell through each phase. They were relatively timely on the breakdown and removal. There were strong initial attempts to protect our property and minimize the construction mess. But once the actual work started, it seemed like there was just problem after problem. There were many pros and cons.. pros are evident by the final bathroom being done (finally).. My biggest qualms however were: (1) PRICE: we had to pay for a lot of additional things after the quote that just kept getting tacked on the original quote. It was frustrating to find out that certain tiles or things that we wanted were unavailable or could not be incorporated. We had to settle on several aspects. There is a payment plan option to make it more palatable. In retrospect, I think the project was on the higher end of what we could have found elsewhere. (2) FAILURE TO MEET TIMELINE: this is the MOST irksome part. We were told 4-6 weeks.. it took almost three months. With the various contractors that are required in any one job, I understand that the more parties there are.. the more likely there will be scheduling problems. But the timeline was edging on unreasonable. (3) AVERAGE COSMETIC JOB: I have never heard a contractor tell me your wall is crooked, therefore, there will be a gap between tile and wall in order have a straight tile surface. It's a minor aspect but gap bothers me every day like an itch in a spot you can't reach. Also, the white tiles that were chosen were shaved at the corners, leaving ugly brown rounded corners amidst the white tiles. Another itch. Also, we opted to keep the bathtub. They cracked the bathtub with removing the old parts around the tub. Rather than fix the tub, we were told we could pay more for someone to fix the cracked porcelain or go buy our own fix it kit. After all the extra costs, we opted for the fix it kit.. which i think is ridiculous. Oh but by the time we got around to it, the tub started to rust in the places where they damaged it. When you step back and look at the overall reno, it does look better than what we had. We're generally happy with the final product (my husband more than I)... and it is definitely an improvement. We did refer Treeium to another group of friends who did an even bigger project, but they had the exact same complaints we did so I feel that our comments are valid and verified. Prior to the unpleasant communications received from Eran Chan, I would have been happy to share that Treeium is *capable* of doing a good job and that we might return. With his harassment, I don't foresee our return or further referral.

Too bad Yelp doesn't allow for no stars - these contractor's don't even deserve one star. These…read moreguys are a bunch of corner cutting hacks. They remodeled my grandmother's bathroom, replaced some drywall and lights in the kitchen. They are completely careless of details, did not properly prepare or finish the job and their work is crap. They even sat my 80 year old grandmother down to watch her give them a yelp review at the beginning of the job before even starting on the work. Talk about having dishonest business practices and taking advantage of the elderly! There's screwed up grout, nails showing on thru the drywall and paint, areas they painted and didn't tape off etc. They didn't even have the decency to replace the outlet covers on a full bathroom remodel and left the hallway light cover completely bare. Like I said cheap and cut corners. They refused to come back and properly take care of their sloppy work until my grandmother paid them in full. Even the contractor that came out to inspect the work indicated that aspects of the work done were not up to par. Photos added to business since yelp does not allow them on reviews as of yet. On top of that, they did not haul away any of the construction waste and left my grandmother to deal with trying to fit that into a normal garbage can. Word of advice - do not hire these jokers - there are so many other companies out there that do provide excellent service - this company just isn't one of them. I will note the project was completed Dec 2013. They came out and fixed a few things related to painting the hallway in Jan 2014 however my grandmother was told the work has to stop somewhere. Essentially they didn't do the job right and by example of my last photo uploaded it they don't believe they did it right. Called the review not fair but that's what reviews are for. They did offer to come fix it at no charge today however to protect my grandmothers house we are not allowing them anywhere near it. Just an update, Eran their officer manager posted a couple pictures of the bathroom afterwards in an effort to do damage control and I am glad they did because none of them are close-ups yet you can still see how the grouting is going over the glass tiles and the little patch above/behind the shower head where there's grout basically rubbed on with a finger and never cleaned. Additionally they don't show the wall they filled where screws are visibly protruding and of course they didn't show any of the hall way or kitchen ceiling. Just be sure to not pay this contractor until the job is completely done and done right!

The owner definitely went above and beyond for me on this project, and I could tell he takes his business seriously and is committed to creating a solid customer experience. And his crew was truly fantastic, too. I could tell that he takes the time to hire great people who represent his business well. This crew was sent out by my homeowners' association, and I greatly appreciated how responsive they were when the HOA asked them to contact me about the repair. Super responsive, which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended!

We thought it would be great to keep the relationship going since they did a good job. Initially, Andy was very responsive when we were considering a large ADU project. However, when we decided it wasn't the direction we wanted to go and had a few smaller projects, he completely stopped answering. I wonder since it wasn't an expensive project like an ADU did he just feel he could brush us off because the money wasn't as enticing? He did say he would be busy last Fall 2022 and that he most likely can start in Jan 2023 but he never responded to my multiple emails inquiring about it.

California construction Co cents did work on my condo Deck. There was a leak coming from the…read morebottom of the retaining wall going under the deck. They repaired this but then decided not to tell my HOA about a small crack at the top of the retaining wall and instead painted the whole top of the retaining wall with a latex material. The retaining wall is stucco and should have been first brought to the attention of the HOA since it was outside of the SOW and then it should have been repaired with a stucco patch not this non stucco laytex material. The company first denied even painting the retaining wall with anything Then after my managment company called them to Inquire about it, the owner came and said they did it and that they won't be coming back at all to remove and fix with the proper material. We then had to have Protech ( our maint company) come and do the repairs. This is so unprofessional of California Construction Concepts to handle this matter in such a way. It cost more to have Protech come and fix what California Construction Concepts did. WOULD BEVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!

Mike then gave me a clear, itemized estimate that was clearly laid out and easy to understand. Leading up to the work, I was texting with Mike who was giving me recommendations and ideas every step of the way. He truly acted like a partner or consultant through the process! When the work started, the crew was fast and efficient. Mike communicated with me via text frequently and often responded immediately or within a few hours. At the end of the day everything was clean and livable, and I didn't feel like I lived in a construction zone every night. :) The final product speaks for itself... my kitchen turned out awesome and everything I asked for was completed on time and with high quality work. The crew was professional and transparent through the process and the experience was overall very pleasant. I would definitely go with Park Shell again, and I've already recommended them to my colleagues. Highly recommended!

She will explain the "why" with design elements if something may or may not work and she is very honest, which I really appreciated. Mark and Doug are very skilled and have great craftsmanship. They were able to create a panel to match the exact cabinet doors (which are very detailed) instead of using the plain panel to go above our refrigerators. As others have mentioned, they tidy up at the end of the day when done and ensure that if you need to use areas during the reno, that it is accessible. Cathy, Mark and Doug are also very mindful and great around kids and pets. My kiddo enjoyed seeing them before heading off to daycare. The team takes pride in their work and it shows. We are beyond happy and grateful with the end results and will be using them for the other half of the house when we are ready to do the bedrooms and bathrooms. I would definitely recommend Anderson Design & Remodeling.

The project was daunting, so much so that flippers wouldn't even submit offers on this home pre-remodel.

He fixed mistakes they made, even if just misunderstandings. He made counter-recommendations to help us manage costs. His primary team Jose and David were always helpful and their cleanup was exemplary. It is important to be fair and communicate that he takes on too many projects, so the timelines proposed were not nearly close. As they say, "Good, Fast, Cheap; Pick two."
