Made an appointment at the general contractor's office for 4 PM on July 9. He called at about 4 when we were at his office saying he was running a bit late but would be there shortly. He ended up showing up over an hour late. He seemed distracted when he did arrive and our meeting was very short. I provided him with all necessary info including a copy of the blueprints so he could make an appropriate bid for the work. He said that he would provide that to us within a few days. It is nearly 2 months later and we have yet to hear back from him despite leaving messages. Very unprofessional.

They called me back right away after my initial phone call to set up appointment. Easy to schedule. Showed up on time. Did the work without making much of a mess and cleaned up after themselves. They had to let the drywall dry so they came back out 2 days later to finish the job. I was very happy with the service and would definitely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: They repaired some drywall on my ceiling and on a wall.

Initially, communication between the Service Provider and us was nonexistent. Once contact was made, the owner came out, saw what we wanted and got the process going. After that, the guy showed up on time, did the work in the time allotted and cleaned up after himself. The work was what we wanted, professional, and thorough. These guys did a good job.

Description of Work: Replaced kitchen faucet, 2 outdoor lights, smoke detector & hung TV on wall. Emailed Ed 1/26/15, at his request, regarding jobs to be done. No reply so I emailed him 2/11/15 to ask if jobs were too small for him to take on. Ed replied, apologized that lost track of my job request, set up work to be provided 2/17/15, 8-12. Nacho arrived at 7:15am! Way early for me but he was very nice and completed work by 11:30. Kitchen faucet came loose 3 days later, contacted Ed, 2/23/15, to see if work warranteed. Ed replied, yes, work guaranteed, would have Nacho contact me to repair. On 3/14 emailed Ed, not heard from Nacho. Ed replied will schedule for Weds/Thurs (3/18,19). 3/25 emailed Ed, which Weds/Thurs? Ed replied will call tomorrow & send someone soon. 4/7/15, Still have not heard back

Description of Work: Nacho did an amazing job! I paid $99 for 4 hours of work - such a deal! He added shelves to my master closet including cutting the pieces and picking up the lumber, fixed a door that didn't shut (had to shave it) and came up with a great solution for a problem I had with my window treatments. I was so happy with the quality of his work!

Description of Work: I needed some small repairs to the ceiling in my laundry room and painting done. The worker arrived on time, was clean and neat and courteous and started promptly. I had a list ready and he was able to complete it in the time allowed. |I was happy to get these things done in a no nonsense fashion and he didn't try to get me to upgrade into getting more done or charging me more. I may use this company again.

I realized that it would be hard for them to complete the work on one trip, so I got a refund from Angie's List instead of pursuing the work.

The company called promptly after we bought the deal, scheduled the work within a few days, and were very responsive and professional. They made sure they knew what work needed to be done, and brought needed materials. Nacho was on time, extremely professional. competent, efficient and great to work with. We heartily recommend them.
Description of Work: We bought an Angie's list speal deal - $99 for 4 hours of work. They sealed up a hole in a concrere wall, sealed off T-vents on our roof (from the bathroom extractor fans) - where rats had got in, and screened off an open vent in the eaves.

Mullen Construction did a terrifice job on our kitchen remodel. Ed Mullen was here in the morning, on time as was his crew, to make sure things were going as scheduled. They did the work in a professional manner, cleaned up all debris and everyone on the job were friendly and courteous. Their price was more than reasonable. The granite & tile guys were great and we were very happy with the whole job. Likewise the painters were outstanding. We're completely happy and satisfied with the work by Mullen Construction and would highly recommend them to all. They do everything from total home construction to minor remodeling.
Description of Work: We had our kitchen remodeled by Mullen Construction. The modifed one kitchen cabinet by removing the microwave oven and converting it to a small shelf area and also modifying the overhead soffit.. They repainted all the cabinets and installed new pulls. They removed the existing double oven and replaced it with an oven/microwave combination. They installed new granite countertops. They installed a new stainless steel sink with new faucet, drinking water dispenser and soap dispenser. They also installed a granite countertop in the kitchen center island. They installed a new cook top and range hood as well as pendant lighting over the center island. They also painted all the cabinets in the pantry. They painted the kitchen and pantry walls. We had them install tiling along the backsplash areas. Everything was done in an outstanding manner.

THE JOB REQUIRED A LOT OF COORDINATION WITH COMPANIES IN LOS ANGELES, BECAUSE OF THE CUSTOM SHOJI SCREEN DOORS AND WINDOW TREATMENTS. THIS PROJECT TOOK WELL OVER 2 YEARS TO COMPLETE. IT INVOLVED A LARGE AMOUNT OF GRADING INTO THIS LOT. (THE LOT WAS SLOPED) IT WAS A DIFFICULT AND PAINFUL EXPERIENCE. THE SERVICE WAS GOOD WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR, BUT SOME OF THE SUB-CONTRACTORS WERE DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH AND DELAYED THE JOB. THE OVERALL PRICE WAS WAY ABOVE OUR BUDGET AND THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE SECOND HIGHEST BID WE RECEIVED BEFORE BUILDING THE HOME. ALTHOUGH I DO NOT FAULT THIS BUILDER ENTIRELY, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T USE THEM AGAIN.
Description of Work: CONSTRUCTION OF A 5,000 SQUARE FOOT CUSTOM HOME, ON A 3/4 ACRE LOT, WHICH INCLUDED A 75 FOOT SWIMMING POOL. (IT WAS A 5 BEDROOM, 4 1/2 BATH HOME)
