Blue Diamond did a terrific job…read more We had spoken to many contractors, but too many either did not return calls, or wanted to make cosmetic changes but not fix the basics, or wanted to do work without city permits and inspections. Our small 1958 house needed all the basics. Sewer lines needed replacement, water line needed replacement, interior galvanized plumbing lines needed replacement. Unsafe ungrounded electrical wiring needed replacement. We needed more outlets, better lighting, outside outlets. HVAC was in attic, old, not up to code and ripped ducting. Needed to be replaced and relocated. Roof needed replacement, old aluminum single glazed windows needed to go. Cream shag carpet and ugly hard to clean floor tile (which was on counter and backsplash too) had to go. We needed insulation. A proper vent for the stove. New backsplash and counters, new toilet and sinks. We left our fifties single bath and cupboards to save money. In only a little over two months from start of work, working with city inspectors and all up to code, they took our house down to the bare concrete floors, the ceilings down, the bare bones exposed, and built it back up, new, improved, everything safe and working, and much more beautiful. With a working kitchen and finally a dishwasher and disposal and washer dryer! The bones are 1958 but the house is 2020. Shout outs to Hayk the electricIan, Zach the plumber, David the carpenter, all the drywall guys and everyone else for doing a great job. Max addressed any issues promptly, and was very responsive. The team accommodated us staying on site with the cats, and there were no escapes. Having the in-house Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing made all the difference. Sometimes we had multiple crews working simultaneously. Everyone was courteous and wonderful to work with. The whole house was brought up to code and passed all the needed inspections. and even the inspectors commented on the quality work that was being done. We still have a small, three bedroom one bath house, but it's now the house we dreamed it could be. In fact, we had everyone sign the house as they finished! Quality craftsmanship is an art form, and we are delighted with the results. Blue Diamond worked well with outside contractors, too. To save some bucks, we had Window World do the windows and a neighbor did a great job paintIng. This caused no problems. On time, at budget (yes there were a few unforeseen items that brought it up but nothing serious)). And now we have a beautiful home we can retire in. Kudos to Blue Diamond, one and all! Thanks for the terrific house!

My 4 week kitchen remodel took 3 months. The majority of the employees that were sent to the house…read morehad been employed less than 1 year. They made my cabinets smaller then we ordered them and they refused to make them the correct size. We had several issues with quality and the team seemed stumped on how to install the cabinets so the backsplash would remain level. We found the company lacked quality control and my husband had to double check their work and have them correct things they should have known were wrong. They installed the cabinets an 1" shorter than agreed. They would have installed the countertop had we not asked them to correct the cabinet height. It took their team two separate attempts, and my husband's help, to correct the cabinet height. They tried to install a cabinet before finishing the drywall behind it. We had to ask them to remove the cabinet and finish installing the drywall. They installed our upper cabinets using a different method than we agreed upon and it resulted in more visible screws. Be aware that when you order 12" upper cabinets they use 1" for either method of installation. During the project, my new floor sustained two scratches, one was about 18" long in front of where my dishwasher was being stored and they only offered $95 as credit to have it repaired. They ignored the second scratch. They scratched the refrigerator door handle with a ladder. They were able to repair the countertop they chipped. They forgot to add the spray foam into the wall before the backsplash was installed so my husband did it in order to prevent another delay. We had a lot of issues with the paint on the cabinets and Blue Diamond brought in People's Choice Painting to repaint the entire kitchen and fix all of the paint issues. I'm glad they were called in, they really made a difference. Overall, I felt Blue Diamond didn't have anyone responsible to double check their employees work. They seemed to ignore mistakes until we brought them up. We had to be diligent to measure, inspect, and double check everything. We didn't enjoy working with Blue Diamond, except for the designer, and hired another company for our other projects. In the end, the kitchen turned out really nice, but it was a very bumpy road to get there.
