All of my kitchen appliances are stainless steel so I wanted my sink to match as well. My old white sink just didn't cut it and looked out of place. One of my best friends referred a contractor to me for the installation of my sink, garbage disposal and granite tile. I'll make a long story short, the contractor did a horrible job! First of all, he basically supervised and watched one of his workers install the sink and granite tile. He told me he couldn't do an undermounted sink because it would be to hard to install. He also told me he couldn't connect the dishwasher tube to the garbage disposal. The contractor said there has to be an air vent. I told him an air vent coming out of a sink is outdated. He told me an air vent is the only way to go. The contractor ended up drilling a huge hole in my new sink for the dishwasher air vent. The hole wasn't cut properly and looked horrible! When the other guy installed the granite it looked like crap! The granite was off level and looked very sloppy! They didn't even use the right grout material to glue down the granite tile. After the contractor and his friend finished the installation of my sink, I noticed several chips in the granite, off level granite, soft cocking that never hardened and pieces of tile missing towards the back of the sink! I decided to go with a Diamond Certified contractor. I should of went with someone more reputable and qualified in the first place. Of course your going to pay more but then again you get what you pay for. It's all about quality when it comes to getting work done on your home. I gave Kevin Abrew a call. I read a lot of good reviews about Kevin in my Diamond Certified Blue Handbook. I called and spoke to Shannon Abrew to set up a consultation. She was very nice and professional. Kevin came out the next day and took a look at my sink. He explained how he would fix my sink and give it a really nice clean look. A few days after I received a quote from Shannon through email. I scheduled the installation of my sink and granite tile a few weeks later. A contractor (Noel) who works for Kevin did the installation. He did an amazing job with the granite tile! The sink looks beautiful! Noel was able to connect the dishwasher tube to the garbage disposal. He installed a soap dispenser in place of the air vent. He even fixed the hole that was drilled in the sink. He also installed a black material piping for free which would prevent any water leaks in the future. Kevin stopped by once the job was completed and made sure everything was picture perfect. If you want quality, efficient and affordable work done to your home, I would definitely recommend Abrew Repair & Construction. I will definitely go through Kevin again when I decide to remodel my master bathroom. Thanks again Kevin for the easy going experience and great job!

Unfortunately it took me 10 years to write this. 2015, Abrew Construction did a fireplace remodel…read morewhile saving our original mantle several years back. As usual, the owner, Kevin Abrew, sells his business because that's his job. He really pushed his 5 star rating in the Better Business Bureau which is a scam. The BBB doesn't do anything if the business' clients are not satisfied. His employees did a fine job in the work they did, but his business practices were suspect. He was not upfront with any additional work and costs. When you give a customer a quote for repairing and repainting cracks in your stucco the logical assumption, if you were to add on repairing a few other cracks on adjacent walls, would be that they would also be painted. Well, you'd be wrong! He gave us a quote for the additional cracks and Mr. Abrew went ahead and had his guys repair the additional cracks on the adjacent wall. Then he gave us a bill that didn't include painting. When questioned about the missing paint, he stated that it wasn't on the quote. That would cost extra. Who gets ready to leave a job site with stucco patches and no paint??? Painting was conveniently left off the additional quote so he could then charge more money after we had already agreed to have the work done. Not a good business practice, but unfortunately a common practice. He also writes up his quotes in units. Ex: "Stucco outside of house 1 unit." (See attached pic). Any contractor that doesn't itemize their bill providing pricing does so so that you have no idea of how much you are being charged for each part of the job. So if you ask to remove some element of the work from the bill, you have no idea if the reduced price is on the level as there are no references to what you are being charged for. Again, not a good business practice. It keeps the customer in the dark having to trust that the contractor is being honest with what they are charging. He even charged me 3 units for "Waiting for inspectors." So how much is a unit? How much was I charged? Your guess is as good as mine. I will say the experience could have been worse and in the end the work was done right. As for hiring someone who is upfront, honest and not ready to argue with you....I'd pick someone else.

Exceptional Quality and Professionalism!…read more We recently hired Bay Quality Construction for a major master bathroom remodel, and the results are absolutely fabulous. Before choosing them, we carefully evaluated several other top local vendors, based on Yelp Reviews. After comparing their responses, pricing, and project approach, Bay Quality Construction was the clear choice. One of the major deciding factor for us was that some of the other vendors expected us to directly work with the subcontractors. In contrast, Bay Quality Construction managed every single subcontractor seamlessly--we only ever had to deal directly with them, which made the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. The quality of the craftsmanship is top-notch, but what really set them apart was the experience of working with Diego, Benny, and the rest of the team. From day one, they proved to be incredibly knowledgeable. They patiently answered all of our questions and provided fantastic suggestions throughout the process. Diego, in particular, had some valuable ideas for our linen closet and other design elements that completely transformed the functionality and look of the entire bathroom. He also handled the city permit process seamlessly, which was a huge relief and something I highly recommend letting them manage. Their work ethic is unmatched. They went completely out of their way to ensure every detail met the highest standards. Even the small things didn't go unnoticed--like how meticulously they cleaned up the workspace at the end of every single day. I know Yelp reviews helped us, so I am putting our experience also here to help other viewers make decision. If you are looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor in the San Ramon or Tri Valley area who will handle your project from start to finish without the headaches, I highly recommend Diego, Benny, and the Bay Quality Construction team! High Level Work Completed: a. Tile Flooring b. Glass Shower and Shower Wall Panels c. Cabinets and linen closets d. Heated Floors e. Door Replacement f. Fireplace demolition g. Painting h. Freestanding bathtub i. Fixtures and Toilet For purchases, I recommend following places: 1. Bay Area Cabinet Supply, Dublin, CA 2. All Natural Stone, Dublin, CA 3.

Their Project Manager, Eleazar (Eli), won me over with his straightforwardness, trustworthy personality, knowledge of the business, and expertise without bluster or high-pressured salespitch. He listened to what I wanted for my kitchen and we quickly agreed on what can be done. On top of that, he gave me a fair price compared to the 4 other bids/offers from the others. He assisted me in every aspect of the project, from identifying the scope, purchasing of the materials that will not only look good in my kitchen but also save me money and drawing a reasonable timeline of completion, and even financing. As Project Manager, I immediately sensed his dedication to the project, making sure we are meeting the schedule for every step/phase, that the workers he sent to me performed the tasks at hand efficiently and in a timely manner. They were polite, and accommodating and kept my premises clean and "undisturbed" unnecessarily. Eli checked on the status with them all throughout the day, making sure nothing falls thru the cracks. He responded quickly to every phone call or text message, answering my questions, or fulfilling my minor or major requests, etc. Communication is not a problem with him at all. He made me feel that I am his "#1 Customer" even though I know my project is small compared to EcoStar's other big-budget renovation projects, and has many other projects going on at same time. He and his team quickly addressed any concern I have - big or small. In short, I found Eli very easy and comfortable to work with. I would say Eli and his team gave me EXCELLENT service, from Start to Finish. Now, I am enjoying my "refreshed" kitchen - I love being in it more than any other room in the house! :) Thanks to Eli, his team workers, and EcoStar!. I highly recommend them to others . In fact, I intend to call them back for any other project I am going to do in the future- i.e. be it housepainting, landscaping, roofing, fencing, remodelling, etc. for I am now 100% confident in their quality of service, trustworthiness, and focus on customer satisfaction.. Thank you, Eli R. and team for your hard work. You are certainly a STAR of EcoStar!!!

We are relatively new for remodeling so its good to have a full-service company handle all the permits, inspections, and design suggestions. The Scope: Replace toilet, convert old shower-tub combo with walk-in shower, install new dry floor, upgrade electrical, install new vanity light, install new bathroom fan, and repaint bathroom interior. Aaron was the one who gave the estimate and rough outline of project plan. The team then assigned three designers work with us (Paola, Joanna, and Valentina (sp?) and select tiles, colors and layouts. Everyone was in constant communication through group chat. After all the parts and components were ordered by us (Home Depot, Amazon, etc.) and delivered to our home, Y Group set up the project start date. It took about 2 weeks to complete the job. The team put up plastic covers wall-to-wall and floor protection for the whole job. Despite just working on one bathroom, there's lot of dust and noise generated with different folks coming in and out each day. Inspections were scheduled extremely quickly and they passed each with flying colors. My wife also applauded the tile installers for their cleanup each day - they literally carried a bucket of water up the stairs and manually wiped the floor at the end of shift. In the end, thrilled our newly remodeled bathroom. I would definitely consider Y Group for future remodeling projects. Their integrated project management, design, and execution team are superb.

Aaron had thoughtful ideas about new layouts for our small bathroom, and kindly returned to work through a second concept. He had a great balance of listening to our needs, plus honestly telling us when in his professional experience something wouldn't work in our small room. Their price was right in line with other quotes and we chose Y Group based on Aaron's collaborative approach with us. Paola managed the project and was amazing to work with. She was also very collaborative in approach, and met us multiple times in different showrooms to look at options for tiles, cabinets etc. She had great design ideas while also hearing us on our tastes and preferences. Once the project started she regularly checked in on progress, and dealt with the minor issues that always come up with large projects professionally. We went with a custom vanity and linen closet design from Luis and Gervin, cabinet makers they work with regularly -- it looks and feels wonderful and really maximized the usable space vs. commercial options. Walter the foreman did great work throughout, especially with the large 24x48" tiles. These are hard to work with, and every joint is perfect. Our small bathroom needed a lot of thoughtful touches to really come together, and they nailed it -- the design has really transformed the space. I highly recommend Y Group Remodeling!

We had a serious mold issue which was caused by water intrusion from the outside of the building, through cracks in the stucco. Viorel and David did a great job fixing my place. They were patient with me during a difficult time, while also being very mindful of my living space and our two cats. The second job he did was having to replace our entire bathroom due to water damage from inside the building. They gave my bathroom a complete makeover!! We went from a tiny stall shower with old floors/fixtures/toilet, to a tub/shower combo, a new vanity sink, new flooring, toilet, the works! I couldn't be happier. We live in a 10 unit building with a landlord who prefers to do subpar/patch work to save a dime, but Viorel refused to do that. He will only do a job the "right way" and fix what needs to be done. We've had other contractors here who would cover up the issue instead of investigating it more to find the problem, but this has never happened with Neagu Construction. Viorel and team are truly fantastic contractors. They are all incredibly professional, and you can tell that he really cares about doing the job right the first time. The integrity he has for his work is outstanding, I would highly recommend them for big and small jobs, they are the real deal and people you can trust.
