    Christian and his team just completed our kitchen refresh with new quartz countertop and subway tile backsplash. The tile for the backsplash was laid perfectly by Luis. It was completed with in our budget and desired timeframe which was very much appreciated. Christian was responsive, explained details and made suggestions. We highly recommend Surface Tempo!

    Finding a contractor who is responsive, detailed, good communicator with fair pricing is almost impossible to find until I met Christian. He was all of these things! Surface Tempo works with specialized crews who are experts in their craft. They were on time, courteous, kept things tidy and were accommodating. Christian visited daily to keep tabs on the work, he would get supplies and save us time and kept his word by sending a crew for a last minute baseboard installation after the job was complete due to fireplace mantel delay. I highly recommend them and will use them again in the future. I got all new wood flooring, reconstructed fireplace and redid the powder room. Everything turned out great!

    On time and on budget aren't words you use often when remodeling but we are fortunate enough to be able to. Christian is an amazing project manager and contractor. He texted me daily on updates, progress and what to expect next.There were no surprises with him and I am grateful for that! There was no lag time during our project, there was someone working on our bathrooms 5 days a week which expedited the whole process. He helped me narrow down my choices and guided me when my decision fatigue kicked in! Everyone from Christians team was so friendly, respectful and knowledgeable! I would 100% recommend for anyone looking to remodel! This is the dream team! Thank you Christian!

    Kitchen refreshed and beautiful!

    The quality of the kitchen update was incredible! With the service requested and coordinate with Christiqn, to have the kitchen updated, we couldn't have expected such a beautiful result. The kitchen is opened up and updated from the original 80s-style kitchen. Would use Surface Tempo with Christian again, no hesitation!

    My father is a disabled veteran and it was getting difficult for us to help him shower. His bathroom is very small and the shower needed some major upgrades. Christian and his crew at surface tempo gave us a fast and reasonable quote. We told him we needed my Dad to be able to just walk into the shower with the aid of his walker. They remodeled the entire room. New toilet, sink, mirror, replaced window, installed grab bars so he can easily and safely move around. Installed a bench seat that can fold up and down as needed. Floor and tile all replaced. It's better than what I imagined and it looks so much bigger. Also added lighting and a fan. I can't recommend surface tempo enough for your next home project. We are using them again to do a kitchen remodel and replace the flooring for the rest of the house. Thank you Christian and team!

    I really can't say enough good things about the work that Chris and his team did with our remodel. We really enjoyed our remodel experience (like... who says this!!) First of all... ON TIME!! We did this project in 2 weeks. He delivered he exactly when he said he would... even asking his team to stay late on a Friday so we could have plumbing connected for the weekend. Second of all... Chris is very communicative. And he will give you his opinion if he thinks something is not right. Third... we felt like the pricing was very fair and they kept us informed through the whole process. We had a bit it a materials issue... and Chris absolutely did the right thing and handled it very well and quickly. Seriously there is no one else out there in the industry I would trust. The Surface Tempo team is just the BEST!

    Im so happy with this company. I had really bad experience with the last contractor I used. It's was awful disasters. My friend referred me this company. They came into my medial spa Grey Aesthetics in Newport Beach and totally transformed it. I can't tell you enough how happy I am. They paid attention to detail they were super helpful always got back to me when I had any questions they were very responsive they had a quick turn around they got my work done in a very timely manner quicker than I expected. And the prices were great! My spa looks so beautiful. They fit some customer work also! Turned out great. I highly Recommend this company. They do superior work.

    Long overdue review. I had reached out to surface tempo right before I sold my previous home, we set a date to meet at the new house once I got the keys but we ended up receiving the keys 1 week later because of stupid loan company that left us homeless. Surface tempo team really worked with my time and we were always in contact with each other! We completely love the work. I really cant thank Donald & Chris and the team enough that worked on my home. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for a company who are very professional and have great communications, Surface Tempo Donald & Chris are the ones to go too!! 10 Starts if I could (maybe ill leave another 5 star review to make it 10 stars)

    Reached out to Surface Tempo and other countertop/back splash contractors based on Yelp reviews. Surface Tempo was prompt at scheduling a free estimate, and was priced competitively with all other contractors. I picked them based on their attentiveness to walking me through the process of a minor home remodel. They scheduled the work quickly, and their team was professional, and very nice. They gave me the option to purchase the material myself or they could purchase the material. Once material was purchase, job was completed in two days, right on schedule. I'm very happy with the results, and would recommend them for any surface remodel. 6/6/2020 - Review Update* I was very pleased with the results the first time, I reached out to Donal again, to carpet my new home. Service was excellent, he worked within my tight schedule, and pricing was competitive. I couldn't asked for anything more. Highly recommended.

    We have had the pleasure of working with Surface Tempo on both our kitchen remodel in 2020 and our master bedroom and bath remodel in 2023. We worked with Christian and his team of subcontractors and did both of these remodels in a relatively short period of time compared with the amount of work required. We were impressed with the organization, responsiveness, communication and most of all the quality of work performed. We are definitely very satisfied and would hire them again for any remodel projects in the future!

    Do not waste your time with them. Because they completely wasted mine. No estimates provided after multiple attempts to receive it.

    Donald and his team are very professional and they finished the entire remodel a lot sooner than expected.

They really alleviated a lot of the anxiety associated with kitchen renovation. Johnny was responsive and kept to the timeline. I also appreciated his honesty and straightforward approach. I highly recommend Inland Cabinets! I also wanted to mention that we ran into some mold and water damage at the start of the project. This almost halted everything for us. Johnny generously offered to take care of the necessary repairs and prep so that the kitchen project could continue. It was such a relief and the work done was incredible and thorough. Johnny also added in pull out spice rack for free. Just a wonderful and generous gesture. We so appreciated his care and thoughtfulness. I also want to thank Juan and his family for the excellent and clean work on the demolition and install.

When I sent pictures over to Johnny of our kitchen before he couldn't believe I wanted to change the counter tops and back splash. But even though it looked nice there were a ton of imperfections. So when Johnny came by he noticed a lot of "mickey mouse" things the flipper did to the house, dishwasher in the wrong place, sink not in the center, etc. So we ended up changing our lay out to be the correct way. In the matter of 2 weeks we had a whole new kitchen. The attention to detail his crew provides is unmatched and his prompt communication is very rare in this type of field. Can't thank inland cabinets enough for bringing my vision to life and giving me a functional kitchen.

    I have filed a dispute against Legend Stone with the Contractors State License Board which is still…read morein the process of being resolved. Since filing the dispute, I found that the license they post on their website is not theirs. They do not have a business license for Legend Stone, but for My Kitchen 2 Go and it is registered to Gustavo Adolfo Sepulveda, who doesn't work for Legend Stone. They remodeled my guest bathroom and new vanity top in master bath which turned out to be a nightmare. My previous review from March 2025 has already listed my multiple complaints against them. When they started work on my home they asked for $3200 instead of the $1000 which was on our contract. I misunderstood him and wrote the check for $4200 instead which I didn't ask for a refund because I figured I would have to pay them down the line. Somehow they kept forgetting the over payment and kept charging me large amounts which I didn't question at the time. They charged me $300 to hang the mirrors and medicine cabinets which didn't get done. So, on the last day Sebatian and his dad Mario Malvaez were here to hang the cabinets and mirrors which we discovered the cabinets had a big crack inside and we didn't have the mirrors in yet. Sebastian said I owed them $865 for final payment but I said the mirrors & cabinets were not up yet and I asked when they would be back. He didn't answer me, so I asked again and he said they were done and wanted a check for $865. I was home alone when Sebastian approached me, I was sitting at my desk in the living room, and he said he wants the check. I became very uncomfortable and wrote the check as he looked over my shoulder. I called Wells Fargo to place a stop payment on the check, that was on 11/16 and the check cleared my bank on 11/18. After some investigation on my part I discovered their bank had changed the check number so it could clear the stop payment. Once they were gone I locked my doors and called the guard at the front gate and told them to never let anyone from Legend Stone in the park again. The guard assured me they would not come in. I live in a retirement community so we have some protection from outsiders. No one can come in without a ok from the residents. My husband and I agreed to $12,780 plus materials but we ended up paying $18,345. They still owe us $300 refund for not hanging the cabinets & mirrors. The results of my complaint with the Contractors State License Board are in. They are unlicensed in California, in violation of one or more sections of the CA Business & Professions Code. The citation will direct the violator to pay a civil penalty assessment, the amount of which will be based upon the severity of the violations. The citation also orders the contractor to cease all unlicensed contracting activity. They also advised me to file a claim through the civil court, which I am in the process of doing. Beware of hiring Legend Stone, Inc.
