We were first connected to Ward-Tek through our insurance company for water damage repairs and every interaction with them was professional and easy. Our project manager, Fernando, is fantastic. He first helped us navigate insurance itself, noting that they do not do water mitigation and insurance would first need to send someone to deal with the damage before he could give us an estimate for repairs. It's an explanation so logical you'd think the insurance company could have approached it that way from the start but alas, they're not really in the business of being helpful. So, after repairing the water damage and treating mold, our work with Ward-Tek began and, especially having spent months in the interim dealing with a different construction company for the initial work, Fernando and team were a godsend. The process of quoting the work was fast and transparent. The work was permitted and scheduled quickly and started on time and every deadline was met or exceeded which, given our experiences with other contractors, seems unheard of. Between Fernando and the lead contractor, Javier, we felt like we had a dream team and everyone who came through to complete the work understood that they were entering our home and respected what that meant for us as we juggled the construction with working from home and having two small children. It felt like they paid a lot of sensitivity to that and I can't overstate how important that was. And the work itself was meticulous. We made some design updates along the way and we're so thrilled that what started as a storm-related disaster ended in our house looking better than ever. We have so many projects to go on this old fixer upper and I genuinely don't want anyone but Ward-Tek to do that work. I trust them immensely after our experience and highly recommend them. Note: we are located in NELA so don't let their Santa Ana location deter you from getting their quote. read more

We had a flood from a hot water heater. We had to have floors, walls, much of a bathroom replaced. Ward-tel did a great job. Fernando will get the best prices for you! read more

We had a great experience with Ward-Tek for repairs to 3 rooms due to leaks this past rainy winter. They were contracted though our insurance company and we appreciated their timeliness and professionalism. Fernando was the project manager and was good at getting back to me promptly with any questions I had. William was the main contractor that did the work and we were very happy with his work. He and his team arrived promptly every morning and got the job finished ahead of time which was very important to us as we had limited access to our child's bedrooms. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for any work on our house. read more

We had a pipe leak that flooded our entire kitchen and half of our family room. Since our kitchen had been completely remodeled only five years ago and it now had to be gutted due to the leak, we wanted it repaired up to the standard it had been prior to the leak. It was a very long and stressful restoration process dealing with insurance adjusters and inspectors, water mitigation reps, supply chain issues, family members and workers getting Covid, etc. Fernando from Ward-Tek worked very closely with our insurance company to ensure that the funds allotted were sufficient to repair our kitchen and home back to the level it had been prior to the leak. He kept in close touch with me throughout the project and he and his crew from Ward-Tek were amazing (particularly Javier). They did great work, were respectful of my home and even tolerated our dogs who sometimes got in the way a bit. Fernando went above and beyond when one of his sub-contractors flaked out on him, making sure that the job was done correctly and that I was happy with the finished product. I'd recommend Fernando and Ward-Tek for any renovation/restoration project. read more

Our experience with Ward-Tek was awesome. Our insurance company contacted Ward-Tek to redo a couple rooms and part of the garage at our house. Fernando kept us updated throughout the whole process, making sure it was completed with our satisfaction. His team was prompt everyday, making sure they completed on time. read more

Fernando and his team at Ward-Tek made a very difficult situation bearable. Long story short, my house was flooded due to a clogged toilet. My insurance company thankfully recommended Ward-Tek for the rebuild. Fernando Salazar and his team were on site daily until the job was finished. They knew how big of a hassle this was. The work was done beautifully and now we have a new home. Thank you Ward-Tek. Fernando and his team deserve raises. : ) read more

Thank you Don, Fernando and the Ward-Tek team for doing an incredible job on a sizable reconstruction project in our community at a very fair price. Everyone from Ward-Tek was very professional and courteous. I highly recommend the Ward-Tek team. read more

We recently had a water leak which required significant rework to our condo unit. Fernando & team worked directly with the insurance company as well as the building HOA, so the whole process took minimal involvement on our part. We appreciated the effortless process! read more

Fernando was great. good communication and prompt scheduling. Finished work was excellent. Thank you!

I have known the owner Don Thomas for several years and hoped I would never need the services of Ward-Tek Construction because, well, that means grandma drove through the side of her garage and into her home. Yeah. Well. That happened. It felt great to have a trusted company where I know the owner is passionate about quality work and doing it one time, the legal and right way. No corners are cut. Yet even with that recommendation, my suborn grandma, whom I love was uneasy at first with the process. Don personally called my grandma and made arrangements to meet with her. My grandma is older and he did a great job of explaining the process and being patient with my grandma. He quickly gained my grandma's trust as the process went on as he is such a great communicator of what he is doing, why he is doing it, and when the work is being done. Don spoke with my grandma and sent items in the mail to make sure she was in the loop every step of the way. He really has a gift for communicating and being compassionate towards people. Don used his other management staff as well, Victor and Leo, and their expertise to keep the project going smoothly. I have meet Leo and Victor and they are great at what they do. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Ward-Tek did the initial board up and secured it after the accident. Then they were quick to get all steps done, including pulling the permits. One slight obstacle was my grandma's house is older than some and the bricks damaged in the crash were really hard to replace. Don spent days on it tracking down the right bricks to match the house as everything needed to be like it was before or better and Ward-Tek really came through on that. She was really pleased about this and also the window replacement that they did. There is a lot more light shining through and that makes her happy. My grandma does not give out praise lightly and will fire contractors, landscapers ect for average work, so the work Ward-Tek did is really impressive. Ward-Tek did high quality work, customer friendly, and great communicators. I would use them if the need ever arises. read more

We just finished our restoration walk-thru and received the Certificate of Occupancy after a major fire that totaled my dad's Condo unit. I didn't get to choose Ward-Tec for the project but I'm sure glad we got them. Over the last 30 years I have been involved with many remodeling projects. My experience is that most are uncomfortably longer and more expensive. Some are bad dreams and some are nightmares. Well I am here to say, honestly, that working with Ward-Tek was like a pleasant dream. I never thought I would say that. But they earned it. I was able to check all the boxes with them. I did not get a chance to meet the Owner, but I was working side by side with Fernando who was the Project Manager. They were always on time, did top notch work, were very clean, very courteous, and took time to explain what was completed and where we were going. Fernando is a Professional. He was extremely helpful with choosing the new replacement products and materials. He satisfied that nagging quest of why and how the order of events would unfold (I'm kind of a control freak). He has a really good spectrum of design knowledge that includes style and color matching as well as good visualization of appropriating space. He always responded quickly. He treated the project like a work of art that he wanted to bring out the best for us (and I believe himself) for the budget we were working with. He would inject really good ideas but was not pushy at all. I felt very comfortable and that I did not have to micro manage every detail and next move- that can be exhausting and an unforeseen expense that takes the fun out of it. No Change-Order Artists here...I was able to work with Fernando and Ward-Tek to get some smaller things that we didn't want or need to be replaced exactly for some upgrades at no extra cost. I love win-win transactions! Over all they deserve 5 stars in my book. ps I forgot to note that they came in under budget and ere giving me a "refund" for something that they could not legally match and complete. Now that's something I never got from a contractor before. John M. Seal Beach, Ca. read more

Thanks to Don and his entire team!!!! What can I say, AWSOME JOB!!!!! We are very pleased with the restoration job to our 1904, Victorian home. It went up in flames about four years ago. Not only did they make our home look beautiful again, they added many needed upgrades that look original to the house. The entire team, were very professional, hard working, punctual, respectful, knowledgeable, clean, and very detail-oriented. Their craftsmanship super exceeded my expectations. With Don´s easy going personality and charm made this process stress and headache free. He took care of our home as if it was his own. We will recommend him to the world! Give him the challenge and you wont regret it!!! You will make a friend, like we did! The house once again has its integrity, beauty, and luster! Thanks, to Ward-Tek Construction, for saving a piece of Long Beach history. Thank you, Cesar & Ernie read more

Don at Ward Tek is a professional; he was able to manage the job so I only had to write checks. Job came in on time if not a little earlier and on budget. 5 star all the way. read more

Our house was the victim of a fire. Ward-Tek does top quality work. The end result was near perfect. I have only one complaint: the speed of the completion of the job. Perhaps this is not norm. Ward -Tek was also working on another house's fire restoration at the same time as ours. This, I believe, caused delays to rebuilding our house. Those delays caused further delays on subsequent work. Other than that, Ward Tek and Don do top notch quality work! I highly recommend them for your construction needs. The house doesn't have a smoke odor anymore and came out beautifully! Drywall, paint, windows, plumbing, HVAC...all came out great! read more

My experience was excellent. Work was done well and completed on time. We were communicated with constantly. Very happy with our fire restoration job. read more

After a house fire, I was inundated by a stream of contractors, vying for my business, when I felt vulnerable as a consumer. I needed a contractor who was trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in restoration after fire, attentive to details, committed to quality work, focused on timely repairs without compromising quality, listened attentively with sensitivity and understanding of the clients' needs, and demonstrated a persona of accountability and responsibility. Don Thomas of WardTek was all of that. He was visible, present, and effectively communicative throughout the job, particularly when important impacting decisions needed to be made. Furthermore, his diligence led to job completion ahead of schedule. During repairs, his workers were respectful to me as the homeowner as well as respectful to care of the property. They were conscientious in avoiding damage to existing intact property and in cleaning up after themselves at the end of the day. I am back in my home ahead of schedule, with quality work where fine details were attended to and with assurance that the process of construction, insurance adjusters, and lending institution coordination was successful. Lastly, Don's warm personality, keen awareness of client's needs and concerns, and skillful oversight of the job accentuates a positive client experience with WardTek. I hope that Yelp readers do not sustain home damage from fire. However, if you do, I highly recommend WardTek. read more
