Hello all, Do not waste your time, energy and money with him "Ricardo" owner of MJ Remodel! Again, stay away!!! His worker does a horrible job and will blame it on your material. Went with his material for the cabinets and it's even worse. Promise 5 years warranty on his product and have not seen any process of him replacing the damaged part. Been going back and forth for the last two-three years on getting my cabinet and shower replaced that is included in the warranty/contract.
MJ Remodel recently completed our ADU project in the Inland Empire. They built a 2-bed/2-bathroom almost 1000 sq. foot home for rent. We went with MJ Remodel because we felt that Ricardo was easy to work with and has good communication skills. During the build, Ricardo did not nickel and dime us on any extra cost for minor upgrades. Inspections have gone smooth, and he is honest and easy to work with. My only complaint honestly is that MJ Remodel had several projects going on at the same time- which is a good thing for a General Contractor who is reputable. You don't want to pick one who may only have only 1 project as this is not a good sign. However, despite managing many projects, Ricardo always made it a point to reach out and provide us status updates on the build and work with us through unexpected circumstances such as City delays, weather etc. He and his team worked evenings and weekends to ensure our project was delivered within budget, scope and timeline. When there were project delays, they were due to weather, Edison or the City. This is our first adu build and Ricardo was able to walk us through the whole process and be upfront with us about everything. We got quality materials and build for a reasonable price. Most importantly, we got great customer service from him and his administrative staff (Liz) and we are very happy with the result of the build. We plan to use MJ Remodel again on future projects.
After a few bids, we went with MJ REMODEL. Some contractors didn't even send the estimate. Ricardo asked all the right questions and gave a competitive bid. As you can see, our boring drywall wall was transformed into our dream entertainment wall. They did all electrical and tile stone. His workers are super friendly and clean. They pay attention to details- no rush job. This company also did a great remodel on our kitchen and master bath 3 years ago. Neither time did they try to add money during the job. Give them a call.
Do your homework before hiring this company. I hired MJ Remodel (aka Ricardo) based on a remodel his crew did for my neighbor. What started as a minor remodel and patio/balcony addition became a nightmare very quickly. The project was only to take a few weeks, and as it got started there were somethings changed or added based on my conversations with Ricardo. The project started January 29th, 2019, and with many issues wrapped up (for Ricardo) the second week of July 2019. The job lingered on for months due to them having to constantly come back t fix something they did incorrectly or poorly. Ricardo had an excuse everytime they didn't show up, or he didn't return calls. Needless to say, here we are in June 2020, and this is a list of current issues I've hired someone else to fix... 1. Roof leaks where they installed the support beams into the house. Not sealed when drywall slapped on. 2. Baseboard they have already been back to fix is bowing out.... again. 3. Wood used for the patio cover/balcony was fresh wood. Sap dripping out and down the boards, corners of the balcony have separated, floor of balcony has sap leaking through the board with paint now bubbling or chipping off... and some boards have split down the middle. This is a small list compared to the many times I had to have them come back to fix things... like the new window that wasn't sealed and the water from the rains poured into the house and soaked the carpet and furniture. Thousands of dollars wasted on poor craftsmenship! I will have to spend more making things right that they did. Another neighbor, also hired MJ Remodel to do work and had issues immediately. Their project needed to be corrected by someone else.
We have used MJ Remodel twice in the past two years and are happy with their service. First time it's a complete house remodel back in summer 2019 and second time early 2021 when our newly renovated house got a pipe burst and caused major water damage. First project complete house remodel. We moved to CA from Texas and we bought a 1990s home that was a total gut job but we had never done any renovation before. We did extensive research online to find the right contractor/company. We interviewed quite a few companies (through our own research and our realtor's recommendations) and decided to go with Ricardo & MJ Remodel. Their price is competitive and Ricardo's highly motivated, quick to respond, and just seemed to be a nice guy to work with which was very important to us as we did the remodel remotely from TX. We didn't move to CA until the house was almost 2/3 of the way to completion. Ricardo would send us pictures to report on the progress and we would fly in every couple week or so to check on the house and meet with him to make decision on designs and finishes. I LOVED going to the design center with Ricardo, I was like kid in the candies store! It's so much fun but also overwhelming at the same time. Ricardo was there to help guide us through the process and offered good suggestions. When we were in town, he would spend Saturday and Sunday working with us so we can be as productive as possible and made the most out of our trip. During the remodel, we did run into a few pumps along the way but we were able to work out with Ricardo and his team. A few times they went out of their way to help us with tasks that were not even in the scope of work. The crew were really nice guys. They're hard working, polite and always cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day. As for timeline, we did go over the original target because we did expand the scope of work (upgrade in bathroom, add a pergola etc). Overall, we LOVE how our house turned out and have received quite a few compliments from our guests. And we learnt so much from this remodeling experience and working with Ricardo/MJ Remodel. The second project was rebuild after water damage caused by original fire sprinkler pipe burst. It sucks that one third of the newly remodeled house was under construction and we had to redo drywall, trim,paint, and flooring. But it's easy breezy process this time around as we knew what to expect. It did take 8 weeks but they stayed on schedule and once they're finished we couldn't tell what had happened. Recently we were interested in a property near our current home (upgrade for better location). It's built in 1980s and would require a full remodel. We brought Ricardo to view the property and to get his thoughts on it and remodel cost. He advised us to not putting in the bid as he didn't think it's a good fit for my family knowing what we like and how much work involved. We really appreciated his honesty and not trying to convince us otherwise to get the job. If we have a new remodel project in the future, Ricardo/MJ Remodel would be our guys to call and we would recommend their service to our friends and family. It took us almost 2 year to completely decorate our home and here are the photos. Thanks Ricardo and MJ Remodel team so much! You guys rock!!!
Pleased with my bathroom remodeling with MJ Remodel. Ricardo, Mario and crew were easy to work with. Showed a few bathroom pics to Gabriel, one of the workers who worked on the wall and floor tiling. He even gave me some input and the outcome was amazing. All workers assigned to my bathroom project were polite and respectful. Area was covered protecting my floor tile from entry to hallway bathroom. Project was delayed 4 days due to a sick worker, incorrect liner (catalog pic was different from actual liner that arrived), tile unavailability and sink issue. The last minute change on a round sink shape to rectangular shape turned out better with a modern look. All old bathroom items, etc. were removed from in and outside of my home and taken away after my project. I would hire them again to work on my master bathroom in the future. Price was reasonable compared to other quotes I got from other companies.
So my Husband gives me the green light to contact contractors to remodel our downstairs bathroom. We do the standard three bid process and I remember how my girlfriend went on an on about the contractor who did remodeling work in her home. So I add MJ Remodel into the process. I'm one to draw out my ideas with my Husband adding his vision to the mix. Mario comes out takes the measurements...and my drawing, then arranged for us to go to their location to look at materials. Mind you, between his visit and our appointment the other bids come in so I had numbers in my head. So we go for our appointment, pick out materials and Mario runs the numbers. With the quote he gave us and his commitment that they'd be done before our company arrives March 3, MJ Remodel won our job. Sooooo.... this is a FIRST! They finished the job on time, maybe a day before. Ricardo made a personal visit to review the job with us. He recommended a different color cabinet... he was right! It all came out beautifully! Of course we found a few things we wanted touched up. No problem Eleazar came and finished everything to my liking. Good pricing, great customer service and response time, sound quality, willingness to recommend design changes so their customers truly have the end results they desire, skilled craftsmen on their team, AND they meet your and their deadline! Hey we will probably do away with that 3 bid process and just call MJ Remodel for our next remodel job!
Ricardo and his team are amazing!! We had our kitchen remodeled and from the beginning to the end Ricardo and his crew were highly professional and responsive to our needs. They even completed the work earlier than originally scheduled. You can tell he has a lot of experience because he knows what he is doing and has great ideas to modify a space into something you and your family will love and enjoy. Any remodeling process is not easy, especially when you are living in the home, but Ricardo made sure everything went smoothly as planned and got things done. We are very impressed with the quality of work and materials that were used to renovate our kitchen. Without hesitation we would work with them again. Thank you for our brand new kitchen and all of your hard work.
My family couldn't be happier with results of our remodel, MJ Remodel did a fantastic job. The great thing about it is they have personal that do all the crafts, so there is no wasted time looking for sub contractors. Ricardo did a great job in the design layout of our kitchen. Although my wife and I had a design Ricardo politely explained to us the problems with our layout and we are sure glad we listened to him. Mario was also great working with us, he always answered our calls. Mario's reliability really lowered our stress levels during the remodel. All of MJ REMODEL workers are friendly and professional and they go out of there way to help you. Also I told Mario that I was having hip replacement surgery and he promised to have the job completed before the surgery and they did finsh before the surgery. For me this was great because that means I won't have to come back home to a construction site. All in all I would definitely recommend MJ Remodel.
We are very pleased with this Company! Ricardo and his crew really did an awesome job!! My house has been transformed into a Kardashian Modern Style layout. Im horrible with designs and colors...Ricardo became not only our Contractor but my Personal Interior Designer, he saw our vision and succeeded way more than 110%. His team worked with us on every detail with patience and Im really really OCD with things so they work well with people like me HA. We had a leak during the last few down pours and his team stopped what they were doing and fixed it all up before it did anymore damage. What I ve learned while working with his team is to trust the process, and be patient because you will see it all pay off at the end! We are definitely having him and his crew work on our second phase of our remodel also adding patio oasis. I ve already referred multiple families and friends to him...that is how much we trust and know my people will be in good hands!! You won't regret it!! His prices are hard to beat, can't go wrong with MJ Remodel! They are now family to us!
We had a bathroom remolded which included tile, shower, vanity, countertop, sink, faucets, recess lighting installation, baseboards and painting. We absolutely LOVE IT!!! Ricardo and his crew are not only professional, but extremely friendly, communicative and punctual. Ricardo along with his assistant Liz was very helpful and patient when it came to us picking out tiles which can be very stressful, they provided numerous options throughout the project and we love the fact they were always just one call away. If you're looking for honesty, loyalty, excellent work MJ Remodel is the company to hire. We most definitely will be using them for our next bathroom and other projects along the way.
Ricardo & his team are awesome professionals and good people. They remodeled our kitchen, flooring, added recess lights, put the old cabinets in the garage, took out an old doggy door, & installed our toilet. They are hard workers, always very friendly & offer great advice. If you are looking for honest & hard working professioalnals, this is the company that you should be hiring to make your home beautiful!

We hired MJ Remodel to build an ADU on our property, and we couldn't be happier with how beautiful the finished home turned out. It was a major project, and Ricardo worked hard to bring everything together and make sure we were happy with the final result. The attention to detail really shows throughout the home. The kitchen and bathrooms turned out beautifully, and we've received so many compliments on the entire property. Ricardo was very accommodating with the things that were important to us and made sure everything came together the way we wanted. We truly appreciate Ricardo and his team and all the work they put into our home. We're very proud of the finished product and would absolutely recommend MJ Remodel to anyone considering building an ADU. read more

Ricardo and his team went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the job. Ricardo has exceptional attention to detail and was very personable and easy to work with. We had a specific vision in mind for our kitchen and Ricardo worked with multiple different cabinet companies to ensure we found the color we wanted. We were also living in our home during the remodel and Ricardo's team did a great job at keeping the demo area contained and clean. He was very knowledgeable and we would recommend his team to others. Thank you, Ricardo! read more

A big shoutout to Ricardo and his crew. We did the whole house renovation, as you can see the pictures I posted there is a huge difference before and after. Ricardo not only gave us some advice on the house remodeling but trying to save our budget at the same time. This is definitely the guy you should look for when it comes to home remodeling. Also, his guys have been really nice workers, they focus on every detail and very easy to work with, Esteban, Daniel, Ivan...there are so many of them. Enough said, looking forward to working with MJ Remodel again for my next house in the near future. read more

Update 5/5/19: We had an over the range microwave installed because we had no counter space with the countertop microwave. They had to shorten our cabinets to accommodate, and I wondered how they would do it and make it look good with only the existing materials. They came up with the solution of turning one of the doors sideways (see picture) and I can't be more pleased! So innovative! It's not exactly conventional but I think it's perfect! You have a problem, Ricardo will come up with a solution! If we decide to stay in this house long term, I look forward to a full kitchen remodel with MJ Remodel! 5/4/19: I called a few different remodeling companies before landing on this one, and I'm glad I did! Obviously they tackle large scale projects, but I had a couple smaller things I want done to my house and they were still willing to work with me for a reasonable price. In this case, they were replacing my master shower, which I'm pretty sure had been installed incorrectly by previous owners. The floor was very soft and started to crack as if the foundation underneath was not correctly done. Also there was no actual drain attached to the drain pipe so there was just a raw pipe protruding from the shower floor not even attached to the shower pan! Mario did the estimate, a few people worked on the shower, notably Daniel who did majority of the work. Ricardo, the owner, was in and out checking up on everything, and he was the person I dealt with when I had questions and requests. He and his team were always prompt, polite, professional, and did everything I asked for to my specifications. As you can see, the shower is gorgeous! We're already getting started on the other small projects for my house and my mom and mother in law are looking to have work done with them now too! I'm glad I found MJ Remodel! read more

We had a fantastic experience with MJ remodel! Not only were they priced well but their customer service and quality of work was great. Ricardo was extremely helpful in helping us decided what all to do in our bathrooms. He gave great advice and checked in regularly to ensure everything well and that we were happy. I'm so happy with the quality of work done. Each person that came to do work was friendly and professional. They took pride in their work and paid attention to all of the small details.They stuck pretty close to the timeline considering the holidays and an unexpected roof issue that they fixed for us. I'm absolutely in love with our new mast bath! Our girls love their new bathroom as well. They turned oUt better than expected. They also replaced our front porch posts and adjusted our front door and did an amazing job with both. Before and after picss attaached read more

After a long and extensive search for the best contractor that would give us the most "bang" for our money we made the best decision to go with Ricardo. We were worried to choose a total stranger to do our big home remodel. We talked to lots of friends and family and got several quotes from some of their recommended contractors. For some reason my husband and I decided to go with our gut feeling and give Ricardo a chance. Since day one he was on time, and at our first meet and greet he was full of ideas and recommendations. I loved that Ricardo was different in that he would offer feedback and design ideas and continuously worked together with us to achieve the best results possible. If Ricardo ever felt that adding or removing something or redoing something was best for the home he would do it without hesitation. He is readily available when you need to talk to him and he was always in and out of our home to keep a close eye on remodel. The best part about working with Ricardo was his team. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful his entire team was. The guys are hard working, honest, and very respectful. My husband and I both work, so on top of choosing an unknown contractor we had to make the decision to leave our homes alone everyday with complete strangers. We took a chance and we cannot express how professional Ricardo's team was. Gabriel, Esteban, Daniel, Eliazar, to name a few ( I had them all here) are great at what they do, they pay close attention to detail. I will post a few before and after pictures. I am in love with my new home, especially my kitchen. If I had to do it all over again I would choose Ricardo aagain. His number will remain in my contacts for future jobs and will be highly recommended to others. Here's a list to name a few of some of the things Ricardo and his team remodeled in our home: Two full bathroom remodels Complete kitchen remodel Added a bar area Took down a low bearing wall with attached closet, which by the way ended up not being a low bearing wall. Tiled entire home with the exemption of rooms, which he carpeted. Painted walls Added recess (pot) lights throughout the home. Replaced triple French door with a double French door. Remodeled our hallway linen closet. Painted and textured most walls. read more

So, it took a lot of thought before posting this review, because my intention is not to bash this company. But, I had to come the realization that the whole reason why I went to Yelp in the first place, was to get honest reviews of people's experiences with companies I'm interested in doing business with. And this company had great reviews. Unfortunately my experience was not at all positive. I called on Tuesday Dec. 5th around 11:45 am and spoke with a young man to request an estimate for a complete kitchen remodel. He informed me that he could have someone out today (Dec. 8th) at 9:00 am. I had to move some things around, but made it happen because we are very interested in getting our project started. I thanked him and booked the estimate. I called back around 2:40 pm, to get an approximation of how long the estimate would take, because I had an appointment at noon that I could not miss. The young lady I spoke with asked for my information again and verified my appointment and informed me the estimate would take around an hour. Perfect. Well, today my wife and I waited patiently for someone to show up. We waited for over an hour. No phone call. Nothing. Just before 10:15 am, I called the office to ask what happened. The young man who answered, sounded exactly like the young man I booked the estimate with, but said he had nothing in their appointment book for me. Huh? How? I spoke to you. He said his name was Gabriel and asked who I spoke with. I told him "I'm pretty sure it was you or someone who sounds very much like you. I also confirmed with a young lady a few hours later." Unfortunately I didn't think to get names for something this simple. Gabriel said he would figure something out and get someone out asap to get us an estimate. He called me back about 20 minutes later and informed me he could have someone out at 3:00 pm. In fact he said, if I was ok with it, they would more than likely be here early. Approximately 2:45 pm. I would have to move some more things around, but welcome to home improvement! Let's just get the ball rolling. I waited patiently. Nothing. Again. Finally, at 3:25 pm, I received a call from Mario informing that he had some problems and was just then leaving Riverside (a solid 25-40 minute drive to my home) and was on his way. He did apologize, but it was what he said next that truly troubled me and forced me to actually write this review. He said "The truth is, my truck broke down and I had to borrow a vehicle to make my appointments. My office just didn't want to tell you that. But I want to be honest with you." Honest?! Now?! After your "office" told me they had no idea who I was, or claimed not have any recollection of our conversation or appointment? While I had to move my appointments around and inconvenience my clients because you people didn't want to tell me the truth? We are compassionate people. Things happen. LIFE happens. We get it. But PLEASE don't lie to me and tell me you don't know who I am or recall the fact the I spoke to two different people confirming my appointment! The one thing I have ZERO tolerance for is dishonesty on any level. Especially with a company I'm looking to spend $30k plus with! As a business owner myself, I truly do understand that things go wrong. Things happen. But customer service 101 is communication! You MUST keep your customers informed at ALL times. Especially if it's simply an unforeseen circumstance that's out of your control. I have never had a customer not be understanding when they are kept informed as to what's going on. I would have most certainly been JUST as understanding if I had been told the truth, and not lied to. Even after everything I had gone through, and appointments I had to move, I would have most certainly still understood. Once agahings happen. But it was the blatant dishonesty that forced me to write this. I included screenshots of all the calls made. I want to be clear that I REALLY wanted to do business with this company, because of all the great reviews. Unfortunately, I was never able to get that far. I hope Mario, that you were able to fix the truck, but more importantly the customer service. That's what cost you our business. Update: Both Mario and Ricardo (owner) reached out to me a few weeks after this review was posted. Although no one essentially took responsibility for not telling me the truth about the vehicle breaking down, I can say that they both seemed genuinely apologetic for everything I was put through. I honestly do appreciate them reaching out to me, albeit several weeks later. Both Mario and Ricardo agreed that there was a MAJOR breakdown in how things were handled and actually thanked me for the post and letting them know how badly they failed. I definitely respect and appreciate that. We do wish them the best and hope they are sincere in addressing these issues. I have subsequently updated my review to 3 stars for the effort. read more

Ricardo just finished with a total remodel of my kitchen and we are very happy with the outcome. He worked very hard to make sure I was pleased with all the work. He was able to customize some features specific for me which gives it a very custom look. Love the look and soft close feature of the drawers and doors, under cabinet lighting and beveled edge of the quartz, which was his idea. His workers are very polite and worked hard all the time they were there. The vinyl wood look plank flooring is a wonderful product - so much nicer to be standing and working on than hard tile. 3/7/2018 I don't like having to downgrade review because I do love my kitchen but I have to be honest about the counter tops. I would give the kitchen a 5 star and counters 3. Was told the edges would shine up to match top after a few months but they have not. I love the bezel edge but would have reconsidered if I'd have known that they would not have the same finish as the top. Just something you should consider if you are having special cut edges. 4/4/18 I am updating again to my review in order to let everyone know that upon seeing my downgrade because of counter tops Ricardo called and he and a couple of workers came by and spent a couple hours working on the edges of the counter tops. He really wanted to make them right and I am happy to say they look 100% better - now have a shine to them. I appreciate that he saw I was not happy and made every effort to make it right. read more

From the start when Ricardo came to our home and we told him what we wanted, then he gave us the price. Appointment was set to start. and completed the job within three days, the employees who installed the quartz counters and did the plumbing job had excellent attitude and knowledge. We are very pleased with the outcome. We highly recommend M.J Remodel for your kitchen upgrade needs. read more

I found MJ Remodel on yelp after receiving 5 estimates that I felt were too pricey or were unable to remove the drop ceiling and vault it like the adjoining room which would require me getting a contractor to do it. Then there were the salesmen that turned me off, how can you sell kitchens when you don't know what a shaker cabinet is? Anyway, Ricardo came out, was straight forward, didn't try to sell me anything and had the best price. His pricing was so good I was able to afford to have the popcorn removed from the ceilings in the living room/dining room, family room and hallway, retextured ceilings and painted (ceilings and walls) 2 exterior doors installed, recessed lighting in hallway, removal of a wall and tile repair, sprinkler repair which required removal of 3 ft by 5 ft section of the driveway and cement poured, and extending porch (which required removing existing tile and brickwork) by 60 sq feet of concrete and then tiled. All this was done for the price others quoted me just for the kitchen. His workers were very polite and hardworking and Ricardo came out to check on progress and took care of anything I brought to his attention and he would have a solution for anything I was concerned about. I have been known to be very anal and Ricardo and his crew met my expectations and I am very pleased with the work that was done. So much so that they are now remodeling 2 bathrooms at my son's house. Thanks Ricardo! read more

"A total home renovation is one of the most daunting tasks anyone can ever undertake! From brainstorming design elements to completing the entire make-over, MJ Remodel were consummate professionals. Throughout the process, we were put at ease with frequent consultations and daily communication. Ricardo Marin was knowledgeable, flexible and listened to our needs. The end result is that our home is more beautiful than we had dreamed. Even more impressive, was that it was completed a month earlier than ! We would recommend no other builder than MJ Remodel."

Will they be willing to do a simple job like to convert one of my kitchen cabinet to a trash bins drawer?
Unfortunately not at the moment..
They claim to have done houses for Desert Flippers in Palm Springs CA. Does anyone know if this is true? Has anyone had problems with their quality of work? Need answer ASAP. Thanks
Yes it is true. They just remodeled my whole house & added on a room & one afternoon during their lunch break I had the tv on hgtv & desert flippers was on & we were watching them on the tv together. It was pretty funny.…
