Not a fan at all. My…read morebasement had flooding issues and when I tried to bring this to my elderly parents' attention, they somehow decided to finish the basement, despite the musty smell and this seasonal flooding for 20 years. I was hoping that maybe Hivex would identify this issue and maybe back me up on this point before they fully converted it to a rentable living space. But they didn't. We then got a huge rain which left visible signs of flooding and standing water on the basement floor. When I told my Dad, he said it was due to Hivex mopping the floor. I was certain that Hivex would help clear this up and attribute the water to the recent storms. They didnt--they confirmed (lied?) to my dad that it was due to their mopping a few days prior. So then they started installing the framing for the drywall, despite the smell and standing water. I knew the project was doomed at this point because once the drywall went up, that moisture would be sealed off behind it and the mold would just flourish. That's when we got the biggest storm in Spring of 2025 which resulted in catastrophic flooding of the basement, leaving zero doubt about the flooding. (This is also a common-sense issue in our area, which has heavy clay soil). We hired a basement moisture company to deal with the seasonal flooding but we had to remove the framing to install the dewatering trench at the base of the wall. At this point, they were really behind schedule. The price was outrageous. Over $80K. My friend just finished his basement and oversaw the drywall, electrical work, cabinetry, etc. He did his basement, which is larger, for around $20,000. The mark up was huge and I was really expecting more. Hivex is for people who love to spend money. Little things they missed: 1. Basement door will not lock and the GC never coordinated with the basement moisture people as to who's fault this was. I thought the GC was supposed to solve things like this and not let things fall through the cracks? 2. Ceiling fan is supposed to reverse during the cold months. This feature is broken which really sucks in the winter time, when all the warmth stays on the ceiling. 3. Faucet was really loose and I had trouble correctly tightening it. Frustrating for a few weeks as it gradually loosened and I had to keep fixing it. 4. The reverse pump for the bathroom was not even sealed. There was a visible gap on the lid of this device and the smell was AWFUL for a few weeks. My aging parents cant smell anything so they just said I was crazy. After a few weeks of this smell, they finally had someone come to seal it. This worker seemed very honest and he said it was bad they missed this. Nasty Hivex. 5. They have really bad deals and poor quality when it comes to their cabinetry and kitchen design options. (Cheap stuff designed to maximize profits). They also refuse to work with whatever company you went with for the cabinets/hardware/faucet. Again, whats the point of the GC if they arent coordinating with everyone? We went with IKEA and it was SO chaotic and horrible. Its basically an automated company at this point.

We hired Carlos and his crew to remodel our master bathroom. They did a great job and really came…read morethrough for us in many respects. The team rebuilt our shower to remove a leak, tiled the shower, the toilet area and the floor of the bathroom and executed our design perfectly. Maybe one of the best compliments I can give is how easily they adapted to issues along the way. For example, when the main water valve to the whole house showed signs of a problem, they replaced it for us. When the water valves for the vanities didn't fit the new structures, they moved the valves and made it work. When the light fixtures needed to be raised, the crew took care of it without any complaint. Carlos gave us the best price by far for anyone who gave us an estimate and he fit the work into a busy schedule. Carlos adjusted the price as the project went on removing costs when we supplied materials or removed items from the plan. He also charged us fairly for the extra tasks such as fixing the house's main water valve. If there is 1 area I would suggest for improvement it is making sure questions about work that needs to happen are laid out before the day work is necessary. As an example, on a Monday morning I was asked where I wanted the step into the bath tub placed because the workers wanted to install the step that day. That was not a question I could answer on the spot; I needed to consult with my wife on the final decision. What's more, we would have had all weekend to consider the options if we had known the question ahead of time. This type of last minute response came up a few times throughout the project and created a bit of frustration and stress. The above suggestion is but one small issue compared to the great work Carlos and his team did on the rest of the project. His men were polite and professional at all times. The crew adapted well as the project moved along and did everything asked of them. They completed a rather intricate tiling project along with everything else. The work took longer than we anticipated but I think that is normal for these projects. Carlos and his crew are skilled in a variety of projects. I expect they will be our first call the next time we renovate any party of our home. I recommend their work and feel confident you will encounter the same good experience we had.

He did projects as small as installing a new towel holder to installing a new sink. It's been a bit over a month since I've used his services and everything still works great. I was able to pay him electronically too, which was a plus. Anyways, I plan to use Melvin going forward and highly recommend that you do too!

We are just waiting for our building permit and the stairs and deck will be replaced, but not Prestige! The actually offered nothing as far as a warranty or even a break on a rebuild! I was told by Alex, if they replaced the failure of the installations they have done, the company would go bankrupt! Now, not all the decks and other structures they have done have failed as horribly as ours. They did offer me an estimate to do a new deck, my answer was no even though they cheaper than the company we are using! Alex also told me it was not his companies fault but the government because the arsenic was removed from pressure treated wood. H e did fail mention that the grade of wood that was used was not not premium wood. They used cheaper wood but still charge for a superior product, that is the only explanation for such a horrible failure. They should have offered to replace the structure at their cost if they cared at all about customer service. And no, we didn't count on it the replacement being paid for, we are completely prepared to cover the cost!
