I needed to have a kitchen area reconfigured with some walls coming down and others being added with addition of new doors. Found Eddie randomly and took a chance. Got quotes from 3 different GC's like anyone would, and he seemed to have a good established process, comparable pricing and upfront and transparent. Project start date can vary depending on your project complexity since he's always backed-up, but I preferred a later start date anyway due to prior commitments. About a month later we started work and his lead man, Huan, was basically here for 6 days a week morning til evening, while Eddie was easy to reach for any questions and issues. Receipts are itemized and sent over for reimbursement so it's organized. Two 'change orders' for my project: There was a slight hiccup when Eddie let me know his concrete guy was gone for the next month but he proposed an alternate solution to the exterior stairs using a wood combo which i found to be a fine replacement at a cheaper price and without the wait. Second change was when i wanted a junction box added to the outside and that was not an issue. Overall satisfied with Eddie and Huan's work and the outcome is great. He's straightforward and organized and everything is as written in the contract. I think they can pretty much do any kind of work, like a one stop shop. Will be calling him up for any future projects. read more

I needed to resize two windows. The GCs willing to take such a small project gave unreasonable prices and one even said I needed to do a plan with the city and just came up with a price out of her head without any calculation. So I posted to Nextdoor and Eddie replied to my post. I did my research and it seems that he's trustworthy, so I took a chance. His quote was transparent and detailed, at a reasonable price, and he quickly updated the quote whenever I requested more terms that he agreed. He applied for and got the permit smoothly without a need to hire an architect. The project was started without delay and completed efficiently. The wall finish looks good as well. We had some other changes to the house in mind and asked Eddie for a quote as well. Eddie diligently followed up with me on the quote and really treated our urgent timeline as his urgency. This made me feel a bit stressed but I'd rather be chased after than wait for contractors. We are still considering those changes and I will update here if we hire Eddie again. You guess why I'm leaving a review in a hurry. Things that could have been done better: Eddie's workers used our pedestal fan without our permission and it's now very dusty. We originally wanted to sell it and now it's hard to clean or sell as is. The two windows are XO and OX respectively, and I wish they had been exchanged with each other. My bad that I didn't tell them how I want them to be installed but I wish they asked me before proceeding. Neither is a big deal so I'm giving 5 stars. read more

If you're looking for a fantastic general contractor, look no further than Plus One Remodeling & Design! We chose Eddie for our recent bathroom remodel because he is a licensed Professional Engineer, which gave us peace of mind from day one. Eddie was professional, communicative, and helpful--he even joined us at the showroom to guide us through material selection. The team actually finished the project a few days early, and Eddie's customer service didn't stop there; he checked in after the job was done to ensure we were still completely satisfied. Heads-up for budgeting: they accept cash or check. read more

I recently used Plus one Remodeling for a bathroom renovation. Eddie was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was organized, timely and very thorough in every aspect of the project. There was no guessing or wondering. His communication skills were excellent. He helped me design, select and shop for all of the materials. The workmanship on the bathroom was excellent. I have some projects that will need doing in the next year or so and I will not even think about not working with Eddie again. His pricing for labour was very competitive. Definitely give Plus one a call if you are in need of any type of home improvement. Thank you once again Eddie! read more

I worked with Eddie and his crew on a garage remodel, and the results were excellent. I am a professional project manager with years of experience with construction contractors. Eddie was very communicative, responsive to questions, and he quoted a very fair price for the work. He created a professional plan of the work with measurements, his contract had a very clear scope of work with breakdown of milestones and payments, and he and his crew were very communicative. They completely transformed my garage, removing an old work bench that was installed into the studs, did a full commercial grade epoxy install with flakes and polyaspartic clear coat, and sheet rocked in the walls and ceilings without any damage to the existing structures. I have referred multiple people I know to Eddie and I hopefully am able to work with him on future home remodel projects. read more

I typically do not use contractors unless i know someone that has used them before. I have worked with quite a few but Eddie really stands out. I feel like i took a risk in hiring someone i had 0 history with and give such a big project to but i am glad i did. What drew me to Eddie was hearing him talk to another client at KZ kitchen and cabinets. He was extremely patient and very willing to answer questions and offer suggestions. I was very impressed so I decided to get him over for a quote. He gave us a lot of good ideas about our remodel. He offered ways for us to save money. There were many times when i asked him if i should get something done but he suggested not to so we can save money. For example, previous owners did flooring but i really did not like it. Eddie suggested to keep it to save in costs but i had him do it anyway and he was happy to do it. We went through many change orders, because i kept thinking of different stuff to do and he was extremely flexible in adding it. His crew, Jacky and Juan were the main people working on my project and they were great. They were always willing to take the time to explain, offer their suggestions, and were very friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure i was happy. I asked them so many questions and they were always willing to answer. There were a couple of times they suggested me to pick out something else to make sure it would look the best even though it slowed them down. Juan even came up with a suggestion to add windows to a dark room and it was our best decision yet! It was truly a pleasure working with them. Eddie is excellent at communicating. He is very responsive and always willing to take my call or meet me on Sunday mornings (i have a restrictive schedule) and just overall generous for his time. I knew exactly what was going on with my house. He even went with us to pick out all of our finishings to make sure everything was suitable. I am glad i used Eddie, and he really could not have made it easier for us. He is honest, fair, and was just a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He has pride in his work, and went above and beyond what i would expect to make sure i am happy. Here is a list of major items he took care for us: Roof Fumigation Kitchen remodel Two bathroom remodels Flooring Painting interior and exterior Upgrade plumbing We were so thrilled with his work we are having him do our electrical and our garage as well. I would highly recommend using Eddie and plan to use him in the future as well. read more

See all

Great communication and professionalism. Project was installed on time and efficiently.

I recently had an accent wall painted by Jacky, and he did an excellent job! He showed up early on a Sunday, worked quietly, finished quickly, cleaned up after himself, and the price was very reasonable. The owner, Eddie, is friendly, responsive, and offers great solutions. I'll definitely be hiring them again for our on-demand water heater. Highly recommend this small company for any big or small job you may have.

From start to finish, this team was professional, detail-oriented, and went above and beyond to deliver high quality workmanship.

Every aspect of the project was handled with incredible care and precision. Communication with Eddie was easy, outstanding and fully transparent throughout the entire process. The team was highly skilled and accomplished the job in 10 business days as promised. We're extremely happy with the stunning transformation and would not hesitate working with Eddie again or recommending them to anyone considering a home remodel project.
