I saw on their website that they offered free estimates, so I gave them a call and they came over the next day. I met with Wilber the owner. He was very friendly and explained everything to me. How long it would take, and what they would do.. I showed him some samples of the types of tile I wanted and he gave me some suggestions.. A week later he sent over a folder with paper work that included a copy of his business license, insurance, and a bid proposal explaining the total cost of remodeling, and estimated finish date. It took two weeks to remodel my bathroom and I love it! I'll definitely hire them for any future projects..

They knew exactly how to do the job right, and gave me a lot of good information about how to properly address the issues that came along with this project.

We had a good experience working with Elmwood Construction, and we will be using them for any future projects. I highly recommend them.

Embarking on a kitchen remodel is no small feat, but with the right company, it can be an easy and…read moreenjoyable experience. That is how I felt about working with Cucina Kitchen Design--I was a little sad when it ended because I enjoyed working with Lisa and her team so much! From the initial consultation to the final steps, the process was handled professionally and with a level of engagement that made me feel like I would ultimately have the kitchen I wanted. From demolition to re-construction, there was consistency in working through the remodel with an outstanding quality of workmanship. The precision and care taken during the build were unparalleled - from the placement of hardware, and lighting installation, to the alignment of tiles, all meticulously executed. Something that I highly valued after going through other remodel work, was never any time that I had to wonder where the team was and when the work was going to continue. There was someone there every day, some work was done on a weekend. The entire project was 8 weeks. Lisa, with her experience as a professional chef, guided me through cabinet layout, and product choices which I might not have thought to consider. Her expertise gave me a new kitchen that has transformed my space, is beautiful, amazingly functional and makes me smile every time I enter it.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish. I have a 1920s craftsman house in Oakland and the…read morekitchen was extremely dated. Lisa came up with a beautiful design and was incredibly communicative, professional, helpful & dedicated to the project throughout the entire process. I know what I like when I see it, but I am a terrible designer and don't really know where to begin with this type of thing. Lisa was so helpful & patient with me and came up with the perfect amount of options for every finish/material and provided guidance that resulted in a GORGEOUS kitchen. We knocked down two walls, opened up space into the dining room, brought down everything to the studs and did a full on remodel -- new floors, windows, appliances, cabinets, tile, etc. It is unrecognizable and every detail came together perfectly. Her entire team at Cucina is super helpful and their process is dialed. Importantly, she connected me with her amazing contractor, Ibrahim who did 100% of the construction himself. Ibrahim was outstanding and flawlessly executed the plan, and was a pleasure to have in our home. Lisa quoted me 10-12 week duration and the entire project from demo to final inspection was 9.5 weeks. Incredible. I would enthusiastically recommend Lisa and her team to do any kitchen or bathroom project. I will be working with them again on any and all future projects I have. THANK YOU!

My bathroom was falling apart, the floor was caving in, there was mold on the back of the shower. Everything was done expertly. Electrical, plumbing, insulation removal, excellent tile work, painting, it was all done perfectly. They cleaned up at the end of each work day. Some extra things were done around my house that helped a lot, such as a railing on my back steps. Mike especially went out of his way to help with different things to make my life as a senior easier. Whatever Mike promised got done and at the price quoted, unless extra is needed but only if agreed on. He was very easy to work with. He is kind, has a great sense of humor, and an animal lover (which is important as I have a Chihuahua and two cats).

This review is long overdue. Michael and his team, including Max and Alberto and the rest of the…read morecrew, were wonderful and easy to work with. We first hired Artifex for our home renovation which included new kitchen, two new baths, new windows and sliders, refinishing existing hardwood floors, insulation throughout, new electrical, and interior and exterior paint. We even removed a wall and installed new support beams. The work was completed in 4 months and that included a pandemic related delay. The entire team is highly skilled and professional. They offer smart suggestions and good alternatives. And I can't say enough about the quality of their finish work - tile and carpentry. We hired Artifex again for our deck and railing replacement project and experienced the same level of professionalism. We would definitely hire them again for any future projects....That is, if they can fit us in :-)

We hired Mike and his team to completely gut and redo our kitchen, master bath, and master bedroom…read more In addition, we asked for a face lift on the guest bath and new hardwoods throughout the house. There literally wasn't a room in the house that we didn't touch. We originally got 4 quotes on the job and Mike's quote was in the middle range but it was the most complete quote, and he also spent a lot of time even before we signed the contract answering our questions and walking us through each line item. For two people who had never gone through a major renovation before this was incredibly helpful. He originally told us it would take 3 - 4 months to complete the job and everyone who we talked to, who had been through a renovation, told us to expect at least double that. True to his word, Mike and his team completed the work in under 4 months and this was after we were delayed by two weeks when they had to fix shotty work that had been done before we moved in. In addition Mike was very conscious of our budget. He helped us pick cost efficient products and often helped us located less expensive alternatives when he knew of a good option. On the other hand, he and his team are very committed to high quality work and would also let us know if it was worth it to spend the extra money on certain items. If there were places where we could save money by doing the work ourselves, Mike worked with us to let us do that which was a huge plus for us. Throughout the process Mike and his head carpenter Luiz were responsive and did a great job of keeping the whole team on task. In addition, either Mike or Luis were on-site monitoring the work almost every day. This is not a company where you never see the general contractor. I also have to say they were both incredibly responsive to our calls and emails. We are both extremely detail oriented people and Mike took the time to answer all of our questions and he responded in a timely manner. The final product couldn't have turned out better. We have had people tell us that our house looks like it came out of a magazine. And, they are right...it turned out amazingly well, on-time, and within budget!! I would recommend Mike, Luiz, and the rest of the team to anyone.

After collecting several quotes for a bathroom remodel, this company provided the most reasonably priced and thorough quote. After completing the project, we realized we received a real bargain as the company was reliable, did quality work, and communicated with us throughout the project. The bathroom remodel was for my elderly father, who recently became wheelchair-bound. It had been almost 40 years since the last remodel. Multiple leaks from the shower walls and toilet required replacing the subfloor along with adding a curbless shower. The project manager, Alejandra, kept me informed throughout. Rosalio, the company's contractor, was reliable. He showed up every day on time and followed my detailed layout design to the letter. His attention to detail was greatly appreciated.

From small jobs like fences and landscaping to medium jobs like bathroom remodels and electrical rewiring to an entire 1 bedroom ADU and kitchen remodel, their attention to detail and quality is excellent. Some of these reviews are off base and have to do with poor communication on the part of the customer. When you want a contractor to bid a project make sure you know the scope or talk about it specifically before the bid happens. Mike is fair and his team has done great work. I would highly recommend him and have come back to him for the quality and the fact he has never disappeared on me the way cheapest bidders can do. You get what you pay for and with Prooerty Pros it's quality and a longstanding business that won't disappear.

NO! I can't recommend Mike! It was the communication always deceiving!…read moreI'm just renting the house. But his scheduling took over a month for repair & painting jobs at this small house is ridiculous. He will schedule days yet his part time painters worked only 3-4 hrs a day & skipping & Mike won't say anything nor updates. One day we're on phone talking & he taught his workers are at the prem until 'confirmed they not there nobody working, hahaha! Lmao! Then Mike will cancel days due to humidity ( he can't tell the allowable humidity for painting) there were only 2-3 separate shower days that rained & the rest sunny & warm. I have consulted other painting contractor & found that those days are okay to resume paintings. What does that mean? Part time painters can't work longer hours to get job done. Mike never considered the inconveniences we tenants are experiencing, we have to clear our driveway every time he set schedules. But.. ended no workers show up. Then he sent them one Sunday morning unannounced we still asleep & his worker like " move your truck move your truck"we gonna work!!! There's no empathy at all. He always wanted weekends, hello don't you have life with your family & you bother us! How about us some privacy & respect! As they say, it's not how many years you are already in the business but it's that we expect professionalism & respect.
