And I definitely found the right guy with Carlos! I gave him my general desires and just let him get things done as they needed it.

I couldn't be happier with the service I've gotten in these past six years or so.

Three years ago we hired Tan to redo our irrigation around the house. We've also been using him…read morefor recurring yard maintenance since. Tan was very responsive through our questions when we first reached out to him but once the irrigation job started he disappeared. Today he never responds to my calls and no one responds to the emails even though we've been having problems with the irrigation: (1) sprinkler not working and the grass has dried out. (2) irrigation and valve planning were not well thought out. (3) our palm trees are more brown and yellow than green I would give the irrigation workmanship and customer service 2/5: 1) our grass has dried out this spring and we've been asking our service guy, Don, and calling/texting/emailing Tan without any response. 2) There is a lot of water going to the side of our house where we don't have many plants and it's connected to the same valve as the drip pipes at the front of our house where not enough water gets to. When I try to contact Don about it, I never get a text/call/email back. 3) our palm trees' leaves have been looking yellow and brown for years. With life being so busy, we had not much effort into investigating why. This past summer I have researched it and found that it wasn't getting enough water (service men control this) and the soil lacks nutrition. I had to be on top of the staff for them to finally work on the timing. Because Tan doesn't return my calls and texts, I hired an outside consultant to learn that the soil is lacking nutrition. 4) when the irrigation was installed, the controller was installed outside the house. They removed the plug of my lighting and plugged in the controller. Because the former was unplugged and left without a cover, it of course rusted. It took them over a year to come back and change the controller to something that would plug in along with our lighting. I have many more example of their poor customer service and negligence. They've taken advantage of the fact that we don't have time to be on their backs. They are all nice but nice doesn't cut it when the service is poor. The only reason they get two stars is because they have shown up for the monthly service and Don does a great job of blowing out the leaves.

Carlos and his team did an incredible job on my space! They did a commercial remodel for me at my…read morebusiness, and I can't say enough great things. They remodeled my floors, demo'd some walls, did a full paint job, hardwired & installed new lighting, built new walls with custom shelving inside the walls, created arched doorways, installed wallpaper on the ceilings, built & tiled a custom desk, and so much more. See photos attached! They were easy to work with and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time, considering all the hurdles we had to jump. My landlord wouldn't let us demo the floors, so Carlos came up with a creative solution of laying new flooring on top of the old so we didn't have to demo. Every obstacle that came up, the guys were able to work around it and still do all the things I wanted to do with the space. Carlos made great suggestions along the way and I felt confident trusting his judgement and took his recommendations on which flooring would look best, or paint colors, materials etc etc. I highly recommend using Mendi Custom Builders if you need any remodeling work done. I am so grateful, Carlos and his team really brought my vision to life!

I am very embarrassed that I have to write this review which could have been prevented if I did…read moremore work screening a contractor. Let me explain. I researched contractors on Yelp and found one that I wanted to hire. I clicked the button to request a consultation and Carlos called me right away. He had good sales skills and offered to come to look at my bathroom remodel project the same day. It turns out that when I submitted a request for a consultation it went to many businesses, not only the one that I was interested in. I finally realized that this was a different business. I looked at William S' review and decided to give them a chance. The business started in January 2022, yet the review that I read stated that they had two bathrooms, a gigantic kitchen, a brand new ADU unit, and 7 televisions in the course of the 3 months since the contractors license was obtained. I later found out that William S is a Mendi Builders employee and that it is a fake review. But I took the bait. I was desperate to get the bathrooms working and planned to be out of town for a week. Despite the vague and expensive proposal Carlos created, I gave him money to begin our project because of his availability and promise to work while I was out of town. In retrospect this was such a bad idea. The very first day that the team came to demo the home they forgot to cap the water underneath the vanity. They left water dripping on a Friday night and had no plans to return until Monday. Fortunately, my son came home and heard the dripping and stopped the leak and bailed out the bathroom. From that day forward every single thing that they touched was a disaster. Broken Tile: I had some special tile installed by an old friend who is no longer working that I asked him to protect. He destroyed that tile and did not alert me or attempt to repair it, instead he tried to conceal it. Plumbing: He changed a plumbing valve and left a huge glob of some sort of wax inside the pipe which was only discovered by the plumber that I had to hire to redo all of Carlos' work. In addition, they were so sloppy that they punched a hole in the wall behind the shower and into my family room. Mess Containment: Construction is always messy and Carlos promised to use plastic sheeting to contain the mess when doing drywall work. Instead of protecting my home, his team took a huge fan out of my garage and blew the construction debris into my family room and garage. This bathroom contained an exterior wall and Mendi employees started installing the drywall without adding insulation to the wall. In addition the workers made no attempt whatsoever to clean up any of their messes and left debris on my roof, throughout my home and garage, and even threw their drink containers in my garden. Their employee drove over a retaining wall and left it down in my driveway. Safety: Mendi removed two toilets there was no attempt to seal off the septic system and the home reeked of sewage. Sewage gasses are not only disgusting, they are dangerous. Mendi switched out a bedroom fan and did not clean up any of the debris. They let a bowl full of screws fall 8 feet down onto the new flooring in my son's room, which he stepped on. They also turned off all circuit breakers in the home and failed to turn all of them back on, so when I returned from my trip there was only one functioning toilet in the home, but the bathroom had no electricity for two days. When I fired Mendi I incurred many expenses and it cost me thousands of dollars to repair the damage they caused. It is hard for me to believe that Mendi was able to obtain a contractor's license. The amateur staff was unsupervised and clearly did not follow best practices of the trade. This construction company is dishonest and does shoddy work with no concern for their work product or customers.protecting my home,
