    Fred and his team did a wall to wall remodel of our home in Lafayette. New bathrooms, new floors, new kitchen, we took down a structural wall - it was a large scale project. We are extremely happy with the finished result - their work is the highest quality and they take a lot of pride in doing things the right way, even if it takes them a little longer or isn't the cheapest route. Projects of this scale are notorious for going way past deadlines, and we were going to have to move out for several months, so we were clear that wasn't an option - and they worked overtime to make sure the house was comfortably liveable when it was time for us to move back in. Ultimately - the two most important elements of a project, they nailed - it was great work and was it on time. The last thing I'll say, the team working day to day at our house was the nicest, most respectful group of guys - quiet and hardworking, cleaned up every day once we were back in, and super receptive to tweaks or changes or small fixes on the fly. Perhaps the biggest compliment you can pay to any contractor, is would you use them again? And the answer is, we definitely would, and we have already referred to some friends and family.

    House with original stucco.  Water proofing paper underneath was so old/gone.
    Hui C.

    We hired US Accurate for a pretty big project to replace the stucco on our 1500 sq ft house. This included removing the old stucco, putting in new waterproofing paper, and putting on new stucco. I have not worked with many other contractors in my experience and overall I would rate it as 3.5-4.0 stars. Things that went well: - Fred is very knowledgeable in general contracting. He was able to quickly answer any type of questions I had. - He has a team of workers and sub-contractors that can perform a variety of work, large and small. - Fred's English is excellent and we had no problems with communications or understanding each other. - The overall quality of the work is good and Fred's a good supervisor. Even though he was not on-site for most of the project, he would quickly resolve any issues that I escalated to him. For example, when his team accidentally cut our electric line and we lost power, or when one of the pipes was broken. He had an electrician and plumber onsite the same day to fix the issues. - I think Fred's a good person and believes in quality of his team's work. Areas to Improve: - These are my recommendations on a better customer experience from the perspective of someone NOT in the construction business so I'm not sure how feasible these are. - The main thing that I would recommend is more transparent pricing, especially on change orders. The original estimate/bid was very reasonable and itemized and that's one of the reasons we went with US Accurate. However, on a project like this, some change orders are probably inevitable, the costs and estimates were more elevated and had less broken out. For example, our big change order was that we would have to replace all of the wood sheathing and one wood beam because of dry rot. The cost for this came in at over $60K, which pretty much doubled our original budget. For something this big, it would make the customer feel more reassured, to have it broken out and explained. I asked Fred why we couldn't have a time & materials breakout for the change order and he said that they only do these as whole construction job contracts. I don't really understand that. Maybe this is the way things are done in general contracting but it would be much more customer friendly to offer estimates where you layout the time costs, the material costs and be more transparent. Even if those time costs include a markup. - The last thing I think would have been helpful is to have an onsite supervisor, even part-time. Maybe our job was not big enough to warrant it (our total cost came out to about $140K)? While Fred's teams were all good, each time had a capable lead, I think having someone here, at least part of the time, that could help coordinate between the teams would've been nice. Instead, it ended up with me talking to each of the team leads, and then calling or texting Fred. Summary: - Quality construction work - Some room for improvement on pricing transparency - I would work with Fred's team again. Next time I would ask for more transparency upfront.

    US Accurate Construction transformed my home! I hired them for a full remodeling project, including my kitchen, primary bathroom, and living rooms, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional, Fred was outstanding and kept me informed throughout the project, addressing any unexpected things promptly and ensuring everything was completed to code. They took our vision and brought it to life. What I appreciated most: Excellent communication, Clean and respectful work environment.

    Walls, floor, ceiling, attic door, recessed lights
    Ionut L.

    Shay and the team did a tremendous job renovating our garage. It's truly transformed, and quite a nice place to be in now. They handled everything from building an attic and a ceiling, to epoxy, to all the electrical. Very easy to work with and responsive, the team moved very fast, and I feel like I got a good deal for the money.

    hall bathroom

    Fred and the team at US Accurate Construction did a total gut of our bathrooms, including rectifying structural damage underneath both rooms and in the walls. They uncovered additional issues and Fred was very helpful in helping us understand those (including replacing plumbing and updating our electric in those rooms) and determine which were in budget for the immediate term. He and his team have been extremely responsive about addressing any follow up concerns and the entire team was professional. Communication was frustrating at times and there were a fair amount of additional asks and purchases required with limited notice, making me feel like a part-time project manager at times. Despite those challenges, the responsiveness and high quality of the work made up for those. The tile work is especially a showstopper!

    Beautiful large shower

    Fred and his team were great! We remodeled the master bathroom with them. They were very polite, responsive, and hard working. Construction always has problems, but nothing big came up, and what did come up was handled professionally and quickly. We hope to use them again when we're ready for the next remodel!

    I hired US ACCURATE SERVICES to renovate my basement. I have a nice sized space and wanted it to be more of a fun hang out area when my friends come over. Fred was a pleasure to work with. He was easy going and assured me the work would be done in a timely manner as I was leaving on a business trip. The work was done in less then 3 weeks and it's perfect. It's exactly what the house needed! Would highly recommend and will definitely call them again!

    After (living room with vaulted ceiling)

    Fred and his team did a great job on a complete remodel of our house (kitchen and bathrooms, vaulted ceiling in the living room, new electrical, wall texture removal etc.). Fred was very fast at providing quotes on all things big and small, and his quotes are pretty reasonable. Many small things/minor misunderstandings came up during the project, but Fred always had a great attitude about making adjustments/corrections, which I really appreciate. They completed the project in only about 4 months (ahead of the deadline) and we're very happy about the results. Would be happy to work with them again.

    We had the pleasure of working with Jill Finn of TANGERINEdesign LLC when our longtime designer was…read moreunavailable -- so she walked into a situation where we were already feeling a bit off balance. But from day one, Jill exceeded our expectations. The project involved tearing down an old, dilapidated screened-in porch that had never really worked for us -- too cold in the winter, too hot in the summer -- and transforming it into a usable interior room. We wanted to keep the light and airy feel of a porch while gaining insulation, comfort, and year-round usability. We also wanted ideas for built-ins: maybe a window seat, maybe bookshelves -- we weren't quite sure. Other contractors over the years had taken one look at the porch and declined to get involved due to its age and condition. Not Jill. She had ideas right away. Jill brings so much energy, creativity, and practical knowledge to the table. Even while juggling big personal commitments (like her son's graduation across the country), she delivered several strong design ideas within a few weeks -- and they were fresh, inspiring, and budget-conscious. She collaborated easily with our civil engineer, adjusting her drawings quickly to meet his needs. She also understands our local codes and regulations really well, and met directly with our contractors to make sure her designs were realistic and executable before we got too far into the process. On top of all that, Jill has a fantastic personality. She made the experience fun and engaging, and she brought a sense of momentum and confidence that really helped us move forward. I can't recommend Jill highly enough -- her creativity, responsiveness, and enthusiasm make her a true gem. If you're considering working with TANGERINEdesign LLC, you're in excellent hands.

We were glad that we chose Jill; she brings with her a wealth of knowledge in all facets of the construction phase, and she was very friendly and easy to talk to also! Most of the time we would ask her a question, then just let her talk, as she was very detailed with all of her answers and did a great job teaching. We also appreciated that Jill also has no problem telling you if your idea is a bad idea, but will provide the context and reasoning why. Lastly, we loved tapping her creative mind; she has the ability to look at a space and give you plenty of ideas for it that you might not have even thought of! We would definitely recommend her and would work with her again.

After the basics had been locked down, it was much easier for us to choose specific tiles, colors and fixtures. The lifelike 3D renderings provided a clear vision of what the finished bathroom would look like, and removed all the guesswork and stress from this project. Shawn provided us with an extremely detailed list of every item and exact cost for the project including scheduling, permits, demo, construction, inspections and every material and fixture. It was clear that we were in experienced and competent hands. We chose to have Shawn and his team handle the project and complete all of the work period his crew was incredible. Each craftsman who worked on different parts of the remodeling was clearly a skilled professional with attention to detail and pride in their workmanship. They accommodated small changes and dealt with unforeseen issues as they occurred. Despite the scale and duration of this total remodel, they kept the work area much cleaner and more organized than we had expected. The finshed result is truly amazing. We now have a totally new bathroom which is the highlight of the entire house. We would highly recommend Create Interior Design and Shawn's thorough approach to designing, documenting, organizing and implementing your home remodeling dream project.

Firstly, I was super busy flying for work when I remodeled my condo. I talked to several contractors before I came across Larry/Jake, and immediately I knew I found the one. All other contractors asked me what I wanted to do with the condo. Larry/ Jake saw my place and gave me a list of possible improvements. I told them I'm busy so they took the initiative to be more proactive. They asked my design taste, and they came up with everything and all I had to do was "yup I like it" or "nope let's try something else" (99% spot on!). Secondly, they are very professional. Once remodeling started, Jake was very good about communicating progress and giving me detailed updates. This isn't the first time I'm remodeling a place, so I know how things can quickly go wrong- Jake and his team was extremely detailed and particular about how to do certain things so the end product would look great. And it does. AND I get all the credit from my friends who visit my place! Thirdly, they are flexible with budget. I could tell they are all about "quality" not about being the most cheap. When I expressed my concern around budget, they came up with many many ideas to fit my design needs yet wallet too. For example, instead of covering the entire bathroom wall with expensive tile, just cover one wall so it's cost effective yet makes a statement. For kitchen appliances, Jake went far and beyond to find stainless steel appliances that look good, got good reviews, fit the original size, AND super affordable! I can't imagine how many hours it must have take him to do that. Larry and Jake, thank you so much for all your hard work! I love my place!!
