Hector did such an amazing job on my first project so I called him back for another bigger bathroom…read moreremodel project. He responded quickly and completed the job in a timely manner. The bathroom originally had a 70s vibe with a pink tub (!!!) and I am so in love with the outcome. He took my vision and made it even better than I could imagine. Super friendly, humble, hard working and affordable. I Highly recommend. Thank you again!

0/10 - do not recommend to anyone for anything…read more Terrible experience with this contractor. They were hired to do tile flooring in our kitchen. A crew came out Jan 24th, "completed" the job in 1 day. Tiles were terrible cut, grout was cracking and falling out, trim was barely hanging on. Horrendous job. After much back and forth, they finally came out 5 weeks to fix their terrible work. I was told they would come out to do the work and it would take 1-2 days. It ended up taking them a week, Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday, to re-do the job. Some days were no call no shows, leaving us with plywood from the base construction of the building as our kitchen floors for that week. The job is still not completed as there are still areas of the flooring unfinished. Absolutely terrible work, and even worse customer experience. Would not recommend to anyone looking to have any kind of work done.

They were recommended to us by a local realtor. Joshua and Yesenia were professional from the start. They scheduled the work, gathered a crew, and promptly began restoration work. New kitchen (cabinets and island), new LVP flooring, recessed lights and whole house paint. Quality work and at a fair cost. We've encounter a recent home issue that needs repairing. It's J&Y to the rescue.

This review is of my second experience with J&Y Painting, and after this experience I would advise…read moreagainst trying to work with this business. The first time I used them, they came to paint some interior railings, and did a fantastic job, even if they were hard to get a hold of initially. A few weeks later, I contacted them again to come out and do an estimate for me on a good deal of exterior painting and repairs. The estimate was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. The day of, the time span they gave came and went, and no one showed up. I called half an hour past the time frame, and was told that they had no idea where he was, and that they would text me. They texted a while later saying that he wasn't able to make it, and asked to reschedule for Wednesday. I agreed, understanding that these things happen. On Wednesday, I received a text an hour before the allotted time saying that something came up, and that he needed to reschedule for Thursday at the same time. I had a conflict, and asked for either Friday or just to text them pictures of the work to try and do a virtual estimate. They asked for pictures, and I sent several, with detailed instructions for each. I didn't hear anything for the next nine hours, and received a text late at night saying that Friday would be better. That brings us to today, where again no one showed up during the scheduled appointment time, and where again I had to reach out and find that they, again, did not know where he was. I told them there was no need for a fourth rescheduling. If you can get this team to come out and actually do the work, they will probably do a fine job. However, be warned - you might never get to see that for yourself if they treat you they way they have treated me.

HIVEX broke the stereotype…read more We had an unfinished basement project and Hivex went above and beyond on finishing it. From the first interaction to the last (and we were sad to see them go) it was pure professionalism. Contractors get a bad reputation of not showing on time, not communicating, taking short cuts... Hivex changes the game. We received a detailed email with images when we entered into a new phase of construction, every time. Scott Alice was fantastic as a project manager and made sure everything was above the standard. We miss seeing the workers every day and seeing leaps and bounds of progress. BUT we are so happy to now have a dry, clean, well lit place for our children to play, a wonderful laundry room, beautiful new bathroom and a poker space. Keep doing what you are doing, I will refer them to everyone.

Not a fan at all. My…read morebasement had flooding issues and when I tried to bring this to my elderly parents' attention, they somehow decided to finish the basement, despite the musty smell and this seasonal flooding for 20 years. I was hoping that maybe Hivex would identify this issue and maybe back me up on this point before they fully converted it to a rentable living space. But they didn't. We then got a huge rain which left visible signs of flooding and standing water on the basement floor. When I told my Dad, he said it was due to Hivex mopping the floor. I was certain that Hivex would help clear this up and attribute the water to the recent storms. They didnt--they confirmed (lied?) to my dad that it was due to their mopping a few days prior. So then they started installing the framing for the drywall, despite the smell and standing water. I knew the project was doomed at this point because once the drywall went up, that moisture would be sealed off behind it and the mold would just flourish. That's when we got the biggest storm in Spring of 2025 which resulted in catastrophic flooding of the basement, leaving zero doubt about the flooding. (This is also a common-sense issue in our area, which has heavy clay soil). We hired a basement moisture company to deal with the seasonal flooding but we had to remove the framing to install the dewatering trench at the base of the wall. At this point, they were really behind schedule. The price was outrageous. Over $80K. My friend just finished his basement and oversaw the drywall, electrical work, cabinetry, etc. He did his basement, which is larger, for around $20,000. The mark up was huge and I was really expecting more. Hivex is for people who love to spend money. Little things they missed: 1. Basement door will not lock and the GC never coordinated with the basement moisture people as to who's fault this was. I thought the GC was supposed to solve things like this and not let things fall through the cracks? 2. Ceiling fan is supposed to reverse during the cold months. This feature is broken which really sucks in the winter time, when all the warmth stays on the ceiling. 3. Faucet was really loose and I had trouble correctly tightening it. Frustrating for a few weeks as it gradually loosened and I had to keep fixing it. 4. The reverse pump for the bathroom was not even sealed. There was a visible gap on the lid of this device and the smell was AWFUL for a few weeks. My aging parents cant smell anything so they just said I was crazy. After a few weeks of this smell, they finally had someone come to seal it. This worker seemed very honest and he said it was bad they missed this. Nasty Hivex. 5. They have really bad deals and poor quality when it comes to their cabinetry and kitchen design options. (Cheap stuff designed to maximize profits). They also refuse to work with whatever company you went with for the cabinets/hardware/faucet. Again, whats the point of the GC if they arent coordinating with everyone? We went with IKEA and it was SO chaotic and horrible. Its basically an automated company at this point.

My husband and I purchased our first home: a short sale. It was pretty rough. There was missing…read morecarpet, a hole in one of the bedrooms and some of the baseboards were torn out. Our main concerns were the bathrooms, which hadn't been updated in over 2 decades. My father-in-law has had No Limits do extensive work on his house and couldn't stop singing their praises. We were lucky to be able to schedule them to address our top priorities. The team books up pretty fast. They were kind and professional. Paul took me to a few shops and we picked out tiles and hardware. He is very knowledgable about style and was helpful with helping me balance the cost. The team got to work on demolition right away, while waiting for the items to be delivered. No Limits stayed within our budget and cleaned up a corroded valve that leaked into the kitchen. They began work on the bathrooms mid-September and finished early November. We were staying in our apartment so we weren't in a big rush. I was consulted on paint colors and tile placements. The team put in a lot of thought on how to arrange the master bathroom features, given the size. We are impressed with this team and very pleased with the final look. It's a bit of luxury for us. We hope to work with No Limits again in the future.

Troy just shrugged that off and was well you get the posts and screen (a special yet durable type of screening that allows for large sq footage without a bunch of cross sections) and here's my price. One section is 12'x10' or 120 sq feet and the finished look is like having a nearly invisible picture window (see pictures.) Troy was quick to return and replace a section when we discovered a small knife cut in one panel that had gone unnoticed and likely happened when trimming excess screen. The only con was his crew spoke broken English however they were competent, friendly and very respectful and courteous while on site and cleaned up 100% every afternoon during this 3 day job. Troy does have a foreman who drops in regularly and helped with language barrier. I highly recommend Stuart's Contracting. Troy's low key but effective work ethic made all the difference as we always felt our satisfaction was his goal.

This review is based on my interactions with Marlon when soliciting bids for some work at a new (to…read moreme) house. This is not based on any work they did for me, as I did not hire them. Calls were returned, the staff was timely, courteous and thoughtful. The bid I received was very competitive and I had high confidence that they would be able to do a good job, on time and on budget. However, I did not personally go through all the listed work items with Marlon. My proxy did half of the items, and the gaps reflected in the bid and I was not comfortable selecting them with such a big disconnect. I will definitely keep them in mind for my next work - and ensure that I personally go through the work areas to ensure clarity on both ends.
