Kitchen before.

James Remodeling did our kitchen remodel and interior painting. This was our first remodeling experience after living in our house for 12 years, so we were a bit nervous. Armin made us feel at ease immediately. Every question we had was answered professionally and quickly. All of the workers that came in really cared for our house, worked efficiently, and cleaned up after themselves. James and his crew, Sergio, and Fernando and his crew were all wonderful. Any minor issues that popped up along the way were fixed quickly. In the future we will definitely work with them again. I highly recommend them!

We are extremely pleased with our decision to work with James Remodeling for our complete kitchen remodel. From the beginning, the team was responsive, organized, and highly competent. They seemlessly coordinated every phase efficiently, and each subcontractor - electrician, flooring, drywall, painting, plumber, stone fabricator delivered high-quality work. We chose to work with a custom cabinet company recommended by James Remodeling, and it was well worth it. The final result reflects thoughtful planning, strong communication, expert execution and a gorgeous kitchen! The new layout is well thought out, very functional, and the quality of the materials and craftsmanship is exactly as we had hoped. We would confidently recommend James Remodeling.

Final view of the finished bathroom.

James Remodeling renovated my bathroom that was over 20 years old. They did an excellent job. Armin is super responsive and addressed any question I had immediately. James is a workhorse and powers through what needs to be done. All the specialized workers were on time, excellent craftsmanship and cleaned up thoroughly each day! I'm so happy with the results and will only use James Remodeling in the future.

After receiving quotes from three contractors, we decided on James Remodeling for a remodel of our hallway bathroom. They weren't the least expensive, but we are glad that we chose them. We had James remodeling convert a shower/tub to a straight walk in shower along with a built in vanity in addition to new flooring. We are very pleased with the results. Our main communication for the project was Harry and he answered any questions that we had promptly. We would highly recommend James Remodeling for any bath or kitchen needs.

New kitchen

We had a kitchen redone with James Remodeling. We have had previous jobs done with other vendors throughout the house, which were good, but our experience with this company was outstanding. They were extremely reliable and did excellent work. They essentially met the timeline quoted except for a couple of delays because I changed items midway. The crew, the design, the products, Armin, and James were all responsive and flexible and thoughtful. I am beyond happy with my new kitchen and would definitely use them again in any other projects

Absolutely fantastic remodeling job by Armin, James and their team at James Remodeling. We got several quotes from contractors in the area and we decided to go with them. Absolutely do not regret. They were very communicative throughout the entire process from conceptualization to design and execution. They listened to our ideas and provided feedback every step of the way and went above and beyond for us to get things done in a timely manner. Will absolutely recommend them for any remodeling job. If you need any sort of remodel for your home reach out to their team and they will take good care of you and your home.

Incredibly happy with the work done by James, Armin, and crew. The finished product is truly amazing and brings joy to me and my wife every time we enter the kitchen and entertain guests. I was particularly impressed with the speed of the crew, and the quality of the subcontractors. With the many specialties required in a large project, it's a huge burden lifted when you know you can handoff the work of finding good experts to a single source. Unique challenges for our project were custom panels for the built-in fridge and dishwasher, and a custom range hood we wanted wrapped in the same stone as our countertop. The cabinet contractor matched the paint, style, and alignment of the factory panels perfectly; and the stone contractor did just an incredible job matching up the seams on our two waterfalls and on the range hood! In the photo with the beverage cooler, you can see a black seam running across the backsplash and is matched to the same spot on the range hood. It's a subtle detail but it makes me smile every time I grab a beer. It perfectly demonstrates the quality achieved from a craftsman. I could not have put together such a talented team on my own. Thanks Guys!

Kitchen remodeled

James remodeling was excellent in meeting our kitchen and floor remodeling needs. Armin was instrumental in providing design recommendations, options and material selection. James was very meticulous and delivered high quality work with minimal change orders. The James Remodeling crew were very professional and cleaned the work area after each visit. They were willing to set up anywhere we recommended. Armin was our designer and managed the project from start to finish with no surprises!! We were well informed when workers were scheduled to come as well as completed the project within the timeline provided. We were so happy that we made the decision to go with James Remodeling!! We love our new kitchen and flooring!! Family and friends can't stop admiring the work and the exceptional turnout!! Thank you James Remodeling for making this happen!!

UPDATE: Recently, I had a flood in my home, and the floors throughout my living room and kitchen…read morehad to be completely redone. I want to reiterate my original review of MAC Flooring & Interiors. Once again, they were absolutely excellent from beginning to end. The quality of their work, their professionalism, and the care they took with my home were every bit as good as my first experience with them. It is wonderful to find a company that delivers the same excellent service when you use them again. I would not hesitate to use MAC Flooring & Interiors in the future, and I highly recommend them.

If a friend were considering MAC for a home project, I would strongly discourage them…read more We hired MAC to replace our downstairs floors after a positive showroom experience. Tanner showed us Bjelin flooring that was gorgeous, exactly what we wanted. It was a relatively new product, but he spoke confidently about its durability. When he came to measure, I specifically showed our 15-year-old kitchen tile, which had become badly dinged over time, and asked if the new flooring would eventually look the same. I emphasized that durability was #1 to us. He assured me this flooring was exceptionally durable and would not end up looking like that. We received another quote about $2k less, but chose MAC because we expected a smoother project with them if anything went wrong. Sadly, that was not our experience. The product we were sold is not right for our family, and there were also problems with installation, communication, workmanship, and care of our home. Before the project began, I asked about protecting our cabinets and window shutters from construction dust. I was told by email and by project manager Matt that I didn't need to do anything because the crew would handle it. They did not. Only the kitchen cabinets were covered. When we returned home, dust was everywhere inside built-ins and bathroom cabinets and all over the shutters. I spent significant time cleaning and had our housecleaners help at an additional cost. Matt said a lockbox would be used for our key. Instead, I found our key sitting outside next to a planter. He also said he would meet me on the first morning to walk through everything. I waited, but no one came or even contacted me. They also showed little care for our property. They left large chunks of wood and sawdust throughout our yard and poured leftover concrete along the side of our house, onto our stepping-stone walkway and around plants where our children play. And then there was the workmanship. When we returned home, we found: * Multiple noticeable scratches on our new flooring * A dishwasher that could not open because the toe kick was too tall * A big hole in the drywall from demo * A large gap in another section of toe kick * The kitchen toe kick painted the wrong color * Missing hearth trim because they had ordered the wrong length * Finishing trim that took multiple visits to complete * Drain stopper of our newly installed bathroom faucet was broken and hidden * Our couch feet reinstalled incorrectly with stripped screws, requiring us to pay the couch company to repair them It took 6 days after I reported the dishwasher issue before they came back to remove the toe kick, meaning I couldn't use my dishwasher for nearly a week. The plumber they sent also hooked the dryer up incorrectly, so it was venting humidity back into our house. We were charged literally $900 for this work. When I brought up the broken drain stopper with Matt, he said his crew hadn't done it, but would cover the replacement. We had to contact the manufacturer, learn the stopper couldn't be purchased separately, and replace it ourselves. The lack of accountability was a recurring theme. When Kristin walked through the problems, she acknowledged some poor workmanship, but there was no recognition of the inconvenience this project had caused. And the flooring itself has been the biggest disappointment. We don't wear shoes in our house, put area rugs throughout the downstairs, every piece of furniture has thick felt pads, and we are extremely careful not to drag anything across the floor. Yet I discover new scratches daily. My children cannot even play normally with ANY toys on the floor without scratching it. The installation was supposed to take one week. Instead, the crew returned at least six additional times for repairs, mistakes, unfinished work, and corrections. It was summer and each time they came back was a morning I couldn't take my kids out to do something fun. The last few visits were particularly telling. MAC sent a guy who was already leaving the company to repaint the kitchen toe kick. He determined it needed primer, but instead told me to prime and paint it myself. I followed his instructions, but paint and primer leaked under the tape because it wasn't properly sealed. I then spent HOURS cleaning paint off our brand-new floors--something I never should have been responsible for. We expected a high level of care and professionalism for an $18,000+ project. Instead, we felt our home, time, and concerns were repeatedly treated as inconveniences. We trusted MAC to recommend a product that would work for our family after I specifically raised durability as a concern. We now have an expensive floor that requires constant babying and continues to scratch despite our care.

We are absolutely thrilled with the product and service we received from G & A. From the moment we…read morewalked through their door, Brandon assisted us with a level of care that made both my husband and I feel like we were a family member. We added on a 200 sq foot master closet room and originally went to G & A to look at carpeting for the new closet. Not only did Brandon spend a lot of time with us on the carpet (which was a small job), he inquired if there was anything else they could assist with. We quickly learned that G & A does not just specialize in flooring, they provide a wide variety of services. In addition to carpeting, we needed painting, stone for countertops and expanded our project to replacing the tile in our laundry room (a long want on my wish list). I got 5 bids for painting and when combining all the above services, Brandon came in with the most competitive pricing. We went with G & A and are so happy that we did. I never felt like he was trying to upsell us and we felt their prices were very fair. In fact, Brandon offered us options with the stone that were more economical than other brands. Brandon was with us every step of the way! When the tile I picked out for the laundry room was discontinued, he found one very similar which I ended up liking better anyways. When they started the laundry room project, while removing the old baseboards, there was an issue with some of the drywall. Brandon quickly stepped in and had one of his guys perform drywall repair right away so as to not stall the project. They removed and reinstalled the washer/dryer as well. They also updated the 20 year old baseboards to match the rest of the house. All of G & A's laborers that worked in our home were courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Brandon kept us advised every step of the way. I STRONGLY recommend G & A for any home improvement needs you may have and don't forget, they do way more than flooring! I am attaching some photos of the closet where they laid carpeting and installed quartz, the tile & painting in the laundry room and the painting of the living room/foyer where the new closet was built above.

First there is Fred, Neema and family at the showroom who together made the whole experience worry free. Their knowledge and expertise in the products was obvious. Once narrowing our options down, Neema and Fred both stopped by as scheduled to measure the space and provide recommendations while also dropping off samples to visualize. Both stated multiple times, there is no rush, take your time. Once we locked down Fred stated the material should be ready for install in 2 weeks and beat the date. Once the material was ready, next up was installation. Neema called to ensure our questions on install were answered and like clockwork, Manuel and the team showed up ahead of time and installed our flooring with precision. What amazed us was that throughout the process, Manuel checked in multiple times to make sure we were up to date on the work. Install was unbelievably professional and the post install cleanup was impressive. No dirt or anything left behind. Only a phenomenal floor that only made us question why we waited so long. Multiple times at the end of install and the next day, both Manuel and Neema stated that if we had any questions to just call. So how good are these guys? The next morning Neema called to check in and asked if he could stop by to verify the work and our satisfaction. Our response - Wow. This team is awesome as every step throughout the process was calm and easy. Next time the only choice is "1st Choice Flooring Kitchen and Bath". Thank you all for a fantastic job and amazing floor.
