Equity Builder Home Improvement is locally owned and operated. We pride ourselves on providing personalized professional services at the most competitive prices possible.
We try to keep all of our work in-house to alleviate the headaches of coordinating your schedule with multiple contractors, which often leads to delays and inconsistent quality.
We understand letting strangers into your home requires a great deal of trust from a client. It is for this reason that we maintain a relatively small staff with very low turn around. This enables us to know our employees very well. Our hiring practices are very strict and we don’t employ anyone we don’t completely trust.
Craftsmanship is important to us, and while other guys may try to cut corners to save a dime, we try to go the extra mile and build things to last beyond your expectations.
I don't really have any details I read the reviews and it sounded like he does great work. I saw there were a few times that he did not send an estimate back to a client but got his computer fixed. I thought we would give this guy a chance. I waited all evening because i gave him the benefit of the doubt maybe he had car trouble, maybe running late with kids or everyday things but we did not receive even a phone call about why he was late or not there. No call or anything the next day so I didn't even bother calling back. I figured maybe if there was something that happened we could reschedule but he never called back and I did not feel like chasing someone to give them my business.
Description of Work: We called Dominic on Monday 12/07/15 and he agreed to come out 12/09/15 at approximately 4:30 to give us an estimate on our bathroom remodel. No show.

[Member Name Removed], I tried calling to set up a new time. I may have wrote down the wrong number. I would love to come out and give you a estimate, the best way to get a hold of me is my cell 830-1134. Thanks, Dominic

It was great. He did it in less than an hour and it cost what he quoted. The work looks and works great.

Dominic came to our home on Oct 15 to look at a bathroom remodel. He didn't offer much as far as ideas, and requested we email him photos of the style of remodel that we wanted. We emailed him photos, and patiently waited for an estimate. 4 weeks later, we still had not received the estimate so we emailed him to follow up. He said he would email the following evening. 4 days later, we still had not received it. He said he was having trouble emailing it to us which didn't make sense because he was emailing us just fine. He said he would resend that night. One week went by and nothing. I emailed him to follow up and asked if he can send it to us. It's been over 2 months now and no response and no estimate. This was disappointing because he had a few good reviews on Angie's List and we are looking forward to getting our bathroom redone.

[removed member name], I completely understand your frustration with not receiving your estimate. After receiving several complaints from people not receiving estimate, I took my computer in recently to get it you looked at. Turns out my email/Quickbooks was infected with a virus that has been causing many of my problems over the last several months. I still have your estimate and would love to still get it to you guys. Again I apologize for all the frustration and inconvenience this has cause you. Thanks, Dominic Equity Builder

A great friend referred Dominick and his business. I arranged a time and Dominick came over to my home and looked at my bathroom floor and said he could have an estimate to me in two days and that he would email me the cost. After a week I had not heard from him, so I called and left a message asking if he had an estimate and to please call me back. I have never heard back from him. I'm obviously very disappointed because of my friends referral and the lack of response from Dominick. I guess the job wasn't worth his time.
Description of Work: Viewed bathroom floor for fixing a water leak.

I send the estimate out Monday, if you didn't receive it you should have called. I have been have really bad luck with emails getting to customers. If you would like I can drop off a estimate this Tuesday, and I'm really sorry for all the trouble this mix up may have caused. Thanks, Dominic

Description of Work: Dominick came to my house on a Saturday to do an estimate on installing the plumbing for a new sink. He was very friendly and professional. He said he thought he could have the estimate for me by that Tuesday. That was a few weeks ago and I have not heard from him. I did email him once with no result.

Description of Work: We had a large closet space under our stairs that we wanted to turn into a half bathroom. Dominic came in and was really friendly and returned an estimate to us very quickly. As with any project there were some hitches but they were all handled well and the job was down quickly and looks great. | |Just for a bit of comparison. I've used Luxury Bath of Alaska before to update a bathroom and I talked to Rebath. Luxury bath did an ok job but the finished details weren't quite what I would have expected and there were lots of delays. Rebath wouldn't even give me an estimate. They came out and looked at it but didn't send the estimate. I called them 4 times about it and never got one. They seem to have that typical alaska business attitude of "I'm the only game in town so you will have to put up with us". | |I never felt that way with Equity Builder. Our project was small but I certainly felt like our happiness was important to them and they really listened to what we wanted.

From the start, Dominic was reliable, helpful and he and his team were all highly skilled. Dominic took time to discuss our ideas fully and consulted us, as a matter of routine, as the job progressed. The floor tiling was extended and the new drywall put up, using a crew of three people and was completed in a few days. The construction of the shower was an education as we had not appreciated how time consuming it is to build a custom shower including a tiled ceiling. Lots of stages and setting time required, so quite a lot of coming and going as the thin set and water barriers were built up to construct the shower base and the ceiling tiles propped up a few at a time. As the depth of the main tiles was more shallow than the detail tiles, this required a lot more time to provide for a flush final surface, which was our preference. (We had purchased the tiles without considering this issue!) We were very impressed with Dominic's approach to his work, which included a strong commitment to quality workmanship plus an appreciation that remodels sometimes throw up the unexpected. To him, that was the norm and part of doing such work. He is a "people-person" and very patient. We are delighted with the result and have another two phases of the remodel to complete and Dominic will be our preferred contractor to carry out the work. We felt entirely relaxed to leave him or his employees in the house when we were not present and trust is an important issue for us. We have already recommended him to a friend.
Description of Work: Having gutted the area being remodeled and completed the new framing, plumbing and electrical work required, we appointed Equity Builder Home Improvement to extend the existing floor tiles into the new laundry area, install all drywall, resurface the walls to match the rest of the house and construct a new fully tiled custom-built shower.

Its my only bathroom and they really worked hard to keep it useable for me in the evenings. He worked around me buying supplies and exchanged a tub for me that was cracked out of the box. Would definitely hire again for other projects.
Description of Work: Dom and his guys did a great job on a bathroom remodel. Basically gutted everything, replaced a rotted subfloor, then tiled the floor, installed new tub, shower insert, and vanity & mirror. Gave me good guidance on what to look for when buying the tub & insert.

Remodel of main bathroom. Love our floor which Dom suggested - he also suggested a higher sink which we love. It was the best balance between what we wanted and the contractor offering discounted prices according to what was available to him.
Description of Work: Dom and his crew remodeled our main bathroom. He was great to work with and kept us informed of sales that his provider offered and allowed us to choose from discounted items.
Description of Work: Total bathroom remodel, tile through out bath,shower, toilet, vanity gallery, trim work, new lighting & ventilation, granite counter tops new plumbing/fixtures through out. Dominic and his crew came in on budget, work completed by stated time, transformed an badly needed make over remodel bath vanity into a upscale high quality retreat we are very please with. Did i mention project occurred in March in Alaska with record snow fall and huge demand for emergency repairs for ice & snow damaged homes in sub zero temps. Thumbs up, true to the name Home Equity Builders and totally due to the professional craftsmanship & pride in product & service the value of our home increased significantly. Thank You Dominic.

Both of the projects went excellent and he kept us updated as to the progress the entire time.
Description of Work: We needed our bathroom and kitchen remodeled and after receiving an unbelievably high estimate for just the bathroom from another company, a coworker suggested this company. Dominic, the owner came out and provided an estimate ($2,000) for our bathroom. His prices were very reasonable (about 1/4 of the other estimate we got) and he was friendly and professional. After I met him, I trusted him enough to give him the keys to our condo while we were out of town to complete the bathroom. They did an excellent job and made everything look great. About a month later, we were so pleased, we decided to have them do our kitchen. He gave us an estimate of $5,000 and I felt that was incredible for a complete transformation (except appliances). They put up cabinets that we had picked (in stock cabinets from Home Depot) and he made sure to choose them carefully and made them look great. Again, we left them to do it while we were gone and we were amazed at the transformation. I allowed him to use his discretion in a few aspects of the design and he impressed me with the things he did. Something as simple as crown molding on top of the cabinets made them look great and it was the details like that that made the work they did look so good. They paid attention to detail, left our condo as clean as when they had come and everything was hooked up and ready to go. I liked how transparent Dominic was in the whole process. He buys supplies at Lowe's and Home Depot and does not mark the prices up nor did he charge a delivery fee. I am going to use these guys again to install some new windows and have appreciated the work they did for us.
