    Almost 20 grand for this, id expect this from random people but not a company that is supposed to be professional. He even admitted they took on too many jobs. Shows what they really care about.

    Avoid this company! What seemed to be a positive experience turned into an expensive nightmare after they finished the job. They are NOT licensed to do plumbing work yet do that work at the cost of the homeowner. Do not make our mistake. We hired Speedy Gonzalez to remodel our bathroom. They put in new floor tiles, a new tub, plumbing and bath tiles for us. They quoted us 4-5 days for the work and it took 12 days. We gave our son a bath the same night that they finished. About a half hour later, water was POURING from the ceiling beneath the tub. Imagine an ENTIRE bathtub full of water coming through your ceiling. It was terrifying and incredibly stressful. Unfortunately, I was in the bath when this happened, so I had to take a shop vac and empty an entire bath tub full of water and bring it in batches up to the roof to put down the storm drain while my wife called an emergency water remediation company. We had an emergency plumber come out to find and fix the issue the next day. As you can see in the picture the P-Trap was completely disconnected. It's clear Bernardo or someone from his team did not run a test bath before packing up and leaving (something a licensed plumber would 100% do). The emergency plumber said that the Speedy Gonzalez plumber used the old P-Trap and connected it with a lot of silicone, which is absolutely not how it is supposed to be done. The emergency plumber suspects that the silicone was used as a way to cover up an issue, which suggests that Bernardo's plumber knew something was wrong (and was, quite frankly, too lazy to do correctly). We decided to have Bernardo's team do the repair work because we were quoted another $6000 from a water mitigation company for the work. We couldn't file an insurance claim with our homeowners insurance because Speedy Gonzalez is unlicensed (and therefore we would've been at fault). Completely our mistake and we will never hire unlicensed workers again. For the next week, we had fans and dehumidifiers running 24/7 after Bernardo and his crew cut out the water-logged drywall. This was really hard, especially considering the fact that they had just spent nearly a month doing the remodel, which is also really disruptive (though that's obviously through no fault of theirs). I only include that to say that just when we were breathing a sigh of relief that our lives would go back to normal and we'd have a beautiful new bathroom to enjoy, our life was thrown into chaos. The next thing: the emergency plumber was expensive. It cost us $2,500. We expected Bernardo to cover this. When he asked how much it cost, his response was "My plumber could have done it for $500!" We would not have had need for an emergency plumber had it not been for Bernardo's plumber's negligent work, so I felt 0% confident in letting him (or anyone else on Bernardo's team) handle any diagnostics or repairs. He said that he could not file a claim because his insurance would drop him. He agreed to pay out of pocket on a payment plan ($500 every two weeks). He made three payments, but he has ghosted me over the last week. I know he's read the texts, but he has not responded. Since the day of the bath incident, we have also noticed some other areas of shoddy work. They did not caulk around the bath. They did not caulk around the faucet. It came loose today. I hope water has not been passing through that gap. There are some chips in bath tiles that were not caused by us (they are higher than we can reach). The work looks sloppy and is going to cost us additional money to fix. This has been the experience from hell. Unless you want to risk a nightmare scenario and have sloppy work done by an unlicensed company who is insured (but doesn't use their insurance when needed) and who will not do everything they can to make things right when they make a HUGE error, I'd look elsewhere. Avoid Speedy Gonzalez.

    My ceiling paint had started peeling (thankfully no water!) and it was time to start consulting to make sure what next steps were necessary. When I was told I needed to mud and sand my entire ceiling, I went to Yelp and opened a project. Several companies had responded, but I chose Speedy Gonzalez because I was impressed with Frank's prompt response. Not only was Frank knowledgeable, he also offered me the option to paint the ceiling after the job was done. Both quotes (for mudding and sanding alone and the mudding, sanding, and painting) were beyond reasonable. Speedy Gonzalez beat out quotes by at least $100. I even when with the painting because I was impressed for the price of that addition, too. When it came to scheduling, Frank had several options that met my needs. His team member who came out for the project was very professional and kind. The project took a good part of the day and his team member worked very hard. After the project was completed (in one day), he cleaned up and you couldn't tell anyone had been working. The only change was my great newly fixed ceiling with a fresh coat of paint! If I'm considering any repainting or need any drywall repairs, I am going straight back to Speedy Gonzalez. You can also pay via Zelle, so you don't have to worry about having a check or cash. So thankful for this great work! :)

    epoxy floor! made of dreams and almond milk.

    Wow. What an amazing experience and result. New year, new basement! My husband and I had been busy plotting and planning what began as a "let's rip up the gross basement carpet and maybe paint, you know, a little refresh," for our 1920s Chicago Bungalow last October. In 2002, we had completely finished, carpeted, drywalled, added a wet bar, updated the bathroom, added two bedrooms for our kids and had a lovely family room constructed - 22 years ago... and now... it sucks. No, it was fine. Dated, but fine. The carpet, however, had to go. After a ton of research I set my sights on an epoxy floor. That started everything. Skip ahead after getting quotes, and finding an awesome contractor, Frank Mora and his talented, professional, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable crew. We explained what we were going for, what we wanted to keep, change, re-work and repair, along with our design vision... what started out as just an epoxy floor (and we wanted a custom color, matte finish epoxy look too!) Frank listened, took it all in, and totally got it. He worked to make it a reality - all the while showing interest, contributing great suggestions and ideas, and keeping a great sense of humor and friendliness during crazy construction ups and downs (the shape of our concrete floor under old carpet being one of the downs) - but he brought in a concrete crew to fix it and make it mold free and family safe. Naturally, we may have added in a few things, painting, a 22 foot long work table, drywalling over a door that went nowhere, repainting the cabinets, new quartz countertop, how about a feature wall... then that carpet came up. Yuck. Cracked and deteriorating, molding concrete across the front of the house. It was removed (dug down three feet) and re-poured, so this indeed really had to be done. Floor back in action, after Thanksgiving break, the epoxy could finally be poured, -then everything could fall into place, the painting, the finishing, the feature wall - pole wrap! We may have gotten some fun new and old mcm furniture along the way, and we still have art to hang and finishing stuff so I really should post more pictures when that is completed, but we could not wait any longer to post this amazing work. Going down to the basement now is an experience. It is such a thoughtful, beautiful, functional space. Thank you Frank and crew, you're the best!

    We hired Frank and his crew to do a full-scale overhaul of an apartment, a complete kitchen remodel with new cabinets, countertops, and structural alterations to accommodate an updated layout, as well as the integration of new insulation and drywall. It also included the bathrooms, everything from the floors, fixtures, tiling. It also included refinishing of hardwood floors. Frank is very reliable, transparent and honest. I'm out of state so Frank was responsible for day to day management, and he was very flexible on timelines and price. We will be hiring him for our next project!

    Use Speedy Gonzalez for all your drywall needs!!! We needed a wall and door installed, and a new door added to an existing wall. They did all this AND more, including installing outlets, moving the light fixtures, and repainting our whole hall and rooms. Everything was done beautifully, very well-crafted and Frank and his crew were professional, friendly, and definitely knew what they were doing. And like the name suggests, they were indeed speedy in their responsiveness, coming to check out our house, and completing the job in under a week. Great value too, we were pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price!

    But the only difficulty I would say was communicating with his team, if Frank wasn't present, because of my broken Spanish.

    Highly recommend JP Hardwood Flooring!…read more Johnny came out to my house and gave me an estimate to refinish all of my hardwood floors the same day. He does charge more than a few other quotes I received, but his rates reflect the quality of his work. He is very responsive and laid down all of the stain options I was looking at in 4 different rooms throughout my house so I could really see how the color looked in different lighting conditions. He was also able to seamlessly fill in all of the cracks in our floors making them look brand new and did the entire house in less than a week! Make sure you do your research on whether or not you want Synteko for your finish - we ended up going with a water-based finish since we have a dog and little babies crawling on our floors and didn't want to risk the toxins, but I would definitely trust Johnny with the finish if you're interested in it. Finally, about a month after moving in, one of our stair treads broke off and Johnny was able to come and replace it in a matter of days - he asked for the measurements ahead of time, so when he showed up at 8am, he already had the tread pre-cut and was done with everything within the hour. His work is truly phenomenal and I would recommend him for any hardwood needs you have!

The work was done efficiently -- they replaced the carpet on our stairs with hardwood, and the color match to our floor was nearly perfect.

He was also very responsive throughout the entire process. Our stairs and floors look fantastic -- I highly recommend Johnny and his team!

    I cannot recommend FLOORecki highly enough! I only had one week to get my hardwood floors…read morerefinished before moving into my new condo, and after my original plans fell through, FLOORecki stepped in as a last-minute hire. From the very beginning, they were responsive, accommodating, and made the entire process completely stress-free. Chris led the project, and his craftsmanship was outstanding. He and his teammate sanded my original oak hardwood floors, replaced several damaged planks, and applied a custom stain that turned out even better than I imagined. The new boards blend in perfectly, the stain color is beautiful, and the finish is absolutely flawless. Chris took the time to answer my questions, walk me through the process, and make sure I was happy with every decision. What impressed me even more was the turnaround. They completed the entire job, including replacing boards, sanding, staining, finishing, and cleaning everything up, in just two days without sacrificing quality. They left my condo spotless and treated my home with the utmost respect throughout the project. I've attached before-and-after photos so you can see the quality of their work for yourself. The transformation speaks for itself. The floors look brand new, the replacement boards are virtually impossible to distinguish from the originals, and the custom stain completely transformed the look and feel of my home. If you're looking for someone to repair, sand, stain, or refinish hardwood floors, do yourself a favor and hire FLOORecki. Chris and his team exceeded every expectation, and my floors truly look brand new. I couldn't be happier with the result!
