Rose City Construction

Just got a quote.

The experience went very well. I had several estimates, Rose City's was consistent with all. According to a family member who is knowledgeable in the field, it was a very well documented estimate. Nick explained every step and was up-front about everything. All workers were polite and the work was done essentially on time.

He was absolutely on time. He called at 8:25 to remind me he would be here at 9:00. He was a gentleman and explained everything to me. I am sure he was very thorough. I am curious to see the estimate. He’s been doing this for a long time and comes from a long line of people in the construction business. He was just a good person and very nice. He subs out electrical to someone he knows, but he seems like the guy that stays on top of his crews and would be at the job often. He even does a 6 month follow up. He seems to have a very good work ethic.

This was a great experience and we were very impressed with Rose City Construction. We had put off the project for a long time because we couldn't figure out what to do with the bathroom after it had been partially demolished. Most of the other contractors we talked to thought we should demolish the whole bathroom and start over, but we liked the character of the bathroom and wanted to preserve the original tile and fixtures as much as possible. When we finally got around to doing the project we were under time pressure. Nick worked with us on all these issues. He was able to squeeze our project into his schedule, and was willing to work with us to try to restore our bathroom to its original look. He told us that the project would go quickly because he works only on one project at a time, and that turned out to be true. Once the project started he was at the house nearly every day and kept in contact by phone and email so that we always knew what was going on. He warned us that there might be extra work once the shower was opened up and that turned out to be true--the leak was in the roof, not the shower pan, so we had to take care of that issue too, but Nick had contractors who took care of the problem right away. He met with us at the tile store and the plumbing fixture store to help us choose the right materials. He worked with the plumbing supplier to get the new fixtures shipped much more quickly than they were planning on doing, in order to keep the project on schedule. The most impressive part of the job was how they were able to break away the tiles in the shower but save enough to redo the shower surround, and then blend it all together so that it all looks like no work was ever done. Nick has already come back to check to see that everything is working all right, and made sure to get a faulty piece of plumbing replaced by the manufacturer. The work was completed on time and on budget, and we are very pleased with our restored bathroom, which now looks just like it did before, only better. We would definitely use Rose City Construction again.

Rose City Construction did an excellent job remodeling our bathroom. The bathroom is not only beautiful, but everything is in perfect running order. There was not one problem passing inspection with the City of Pasadena on the five permits acquired for our remodel. Nick and his workers always showed up on time and worked very efficiently. There were no delays at all and the project was completed on time. We were very impressed with the subcontractors that Nick used on the project. Nick's subcontractors are highly skilled and very experienced and did top-notch work on our bathroom. Nick communicates very well and clearly explained all aspects of the project--offering very sensible advice and innovative ideas on remodeling. Whenever we called Nick with questions, he would return our calls right away. He is very patient and responsive. The estimate was reasonable and the project was completed well within the contract price. We saved a lot of money using Nick's discounts and referrals to purchase materials for the bathroom. Nick Kalandjian is fantastic and is the best contractor that we have ever used. His attention to detail is amazing and he is really focused on satisfying the customer. Unlike many contractors, Nick has very strong ethics and takes pride in his work. We were so impressed with the quality of his work for the price that we are using Rose City Construction to remodel a second bathroom previously remodeled only five years ago. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Nick and we would not hesitate to recommend him to any one.

The problem originally manifested itself as a small leak affecting the dry wall in one wall of an upstairs room. When I called Rose City, they were shutting down for Xmas, but they did arrange for the roofer to appear between Xmas and New Years to address a chimney flashing leak. The repairs were completed a few hours before a large rainstorm, and it appeared that the problem was solved. To their credit, Rose City did not attempt mold abatement (for which they are not certified), but referred me to another first class organization for that purpose. After the mold-related repairs were done, Rose City returned and performed excellent restoration of the home interior. The water had damaged the carpet and my daughter's cherished furniture (the manufacturer of which has gone out of business). Rose City provided referral to a carpet replacement firm that matched the original carpet in the damaged section, so that a large aquarium did not have to be removed and returned. Rose City also provided referral to a furniture company that was able to repair my daughters furniture without visible signs of the repair, and even improve on the original design. Rose City did what eventually turned out to be the smaller portion of the work (by cost), but was instumental in organizing the full scope of repairs. Their referrals were excellent, and they stepped back when the work exceeded their areas of competence. This is a class act.

Overall, my experience was excellent. Rose City Construction was timely, and left the work site perfectly clean. In Nick, the owner, was very responsive to my calls and questions. I?m a designer too, so sometimes I would want things done a certain way. If Nick didn?t agree he would explain his reasoning for doing something differently, and sometimes his ideas would be better. He did subcontract out some work, but always present to supervise.

It was higher than the people that I am using. It wasn't outrageous though. The guy was nice. His estimate was very thorough. He was on time. He knew what he was talking about.

Rose City Construction is the best ever! Our house was built in 1912 and desperately needed repairs - long overdue. I started by asking for a quote to update a very old bathroom - re-do the tile, replace sink and toilet, install new shower plumbing. Nick came to give the quote - was on time, professional, and gave a detailed quote with choices and explanations. He provided references, including people who had jobs completed before as well as jobs underway. All of them gave us rave reviews, and I am pleased to do the same now. Nick did a great job on the bathroom. It was challenging because we also were having the interior of our house painted. But he worked around everyone, cleaned up every time, and the job was done beautifully and as planned. All of a sudden I realized that the other things around our house that were broken could be repaired....and I continued to ask Nick for bids and projects. Twenty plus years of deferred maintenance got accomplished, and Nick either personally performed or coordinated the following work that extended over about six months. He: replaced doors, re-plumbed our house with copper pipe, renovated our kitchen including granite counters and a wonderful sink, built cabinets and replaced tile in a second bathroom, remodeled our basement to make it a functional and bright, clean area, built a wonderful storage unit in the back of our garage, installed lighting. Our last project was to have Nick remove an old shed from our property and install a stone patio with outdoor sink/kitchen area and lighting. It is GORGEOUS and we have enjoyed it with our entire family. He recommended other contractors who were equally good at their specialties. Our roof was replaced, eaves were saved and restored, our upstairs balcony deck was resurfaced. Our house became water tight, floors were updated, etc. Please understand that everything Nick does is guaranteed. He truly takes pride in his work, checks on everything. He communicates well and lets you know exactly what is going to happen and when. He was so easy to work with. Although we hadn't planned on doing all of this work, the reason we went ahead and kept giving Nick work is that everything he did was reasonably priced, reliable, and well done. Prior to working with Nick, my only experience was with contractors who missed appointments, didn't call back, took weeks to give quotes, or did work shabbily. I also had difficulty finding someone with the patience to work on an old house and the ability to do it right. Nick is resourceful and a craftsman, and I give him the highest possible recommendation.

The thing I liked best about him was that he actually did the work himself, which rarely happens these days. He had small crews working for him but he was always on the job. The people who worked for him were wonderful as well. He went with us and picked out everything we needed and he was a great consultant on all of the things we needed to buy. It's like we were his only customer and he was always attentive to the job. He was always available to answer my questions and very quick to respond to my questions and calls. He wanted to be sure I was happy with every detail. He started on time & ended on time. Not to mention, he was also reasonably priced. Overall, my experience was truly wonderful!

I could not be any happier with the work done by this company! My primary concern was that the work would be done right with no cutting corners. Nick thoroughly explained how each step of the projects would be done. He offered help with the design of the shower and provided lots of options. The quality of all the work was excellent with careful attention to details. Top grade products were used. Again, no cutting corners. Customer satisfaction is a high priority for this company. The project came in on on time and within my budget. I asked them to do some extra repairs which they could have charged for and didn't. Everyone was very friendly and took pride in their work. Nick followed through on even the smallest details. Everything looks great! I will use this company again for future projects.

Having recently moved here, being a widow and without any family to help me, it was a tremendous blessing when I found out about Rose City Construction. Its owner, Nick Kalandjian, came highly recommended. It was very important that I find someone I could trust and who would do the best possible job at the best possible price in a timely manner. All of this was achieved beyond expectation. From the beginning Nick's expertise, professionalism, artistic creativity and excellent taste came through. He helped me choose the finest material with substantial discounts because of his excellent business reputation. He and his crew were on the job every day. They worked methodically, swiftly and conscienciously, leaving the construction site every evening perfectly clean. The different phases of the job followed in a very timely manner, right up to the last details which were executed with great care. Nothing was neglected or rushed and the entire project was completed to my entire satisfaction. It is with the greatest pleasure that I recommend highly Rose City Construction for projects of any size and any scope. They will be done to perfection.

Rose City Construction did a wonderful job. Our overall experience with Nick was incredible. He was very honest and extremely pleasant to work with. I highly recommend using Rose City Construction.?

Rose City did a great job and we are very pleased. He also did follow up inspections at 6 months and 1 year.
