Treeium

kitchen, bath remodel; recessed lighting and popcorn ceiling removal

Very well. Roy Kisos, my project manager, was very responsive.

Treeium and my project manager, Guy Breuer, really delivered on my bathroom remodel. They were the 3rd quote I received and I found the fairest of all. The project came in within scope, on time (actually a little ahead of schedule) and on budget. Don't forget to include them in your project plan!!

Treeium provided us with excellent, tasteful kitchen and bathroom remodelIng within our budget. Our condo is now stylish and ready for rental! Prior to contacting Treeium, we had gone through the estimation process with two big box companies, which we decided not to use because of their "out-of-a can" offerings and dishonest estimation practices. From telephone reception to oversight to the finishing touches, Treeium was professional, expeditious and friendly in their dealings. Project Manager Guy Breuer warmly walked us through the entire process, explaining what sorts of things might be discovered that would affect the scope of work, and therefore cost. He and his team of excellent contractors not only carried out the work, but also made important aesthetic suggestions based on their experience. We are very happy we went with them and would not hesitate to contact Treeium again for any remodeling work!

I would highly recommend working with Guy Breuer from Treeium, Inc for any of your future home improvement projects. My wife and I had the pleasure of his help and services this past year on the construction of our addition. Guy was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and transparent with the project. He and his crew were very efficient and thorough when it came to executing each part of the job. They were all very respectful and friendly as well. I am happy to say that Guy and Treeium help to build a safe home for my family. James, Alameda CA

To start out be forewarned, all finished products are extra on top of that price that you are going to pay. There were a few mistakes that the team made that they were able to remedy such as throwing away our toilets when we had stated from the beginning that we wanted to keep our original toilets since we would be paying for so many other finished materials. On the other hand, there were many mistakes made that were not fixed! The individuals on the Treeium team did not know how to cut straight, hang cupboards correctly, or keep the grout where it was supposed to be. We have found grout on the ceiling, the walls, the floors, and many other places that it should not be. The project started at the end of November 2016 and according to them was done before their deadline in originally scheduled in February. We sent pictures to Raz of the things that we were not happy with, but many of the things were still not corrected. We reached out to management in Treeium. They came out and did a walk through. The management told us to make another list of the things that we wanted fixed and that it would be fixed by a new team. ANOTHER LIE!!!! We had the same team come into our home on two Saturdays expecting to complete all of their mistakes. We wanted the cupboards hung straight; we wanted the wall replaced between the cupboards because they had punched a screw through so it had a ******; we wanted them to fix the crookedly hung shower curtain rod; we wanted the toilets straightened; we wanted the backsplash in the kitchen fixed since it stuck out and the trim around did not meet the counter like it should (they filled in extra space with more grout); we wanted the gaps fixed in the baseboards in the closet so that we could not see the padding under the floor and ugly texture of the wall; we wanted the wall texture to be fixed around the bathroom vanities; we wanted the threshold fixed by the front door. They attempted to fix a few of these items, but the other ones they abandoned along with their huge mess on our balcony. They stated that they could not fix the curtain rod without either leaving extra holes in the tile that would be filled with grout or actually redoing the entire shower. Since we had moved back into our home by this time because we had been out for 3 months, we did not want to have the entire shower ripped out especially after seeing their other craftsmanship. They were able to hang the cupboards straight, but they still managed not to put the soft closing hinges in the all of the doors. We still have 2 doors that slam closed. They replaced the wall portion between the cupboards, but they still seemed to not cut it straight and they put a tacky, thick amount of white grout along the wall and the granite countertop. They chipped out the old backsplash where it was really bad and lined it up with the countertop. You would hope that it would get better, but NOPE! It actually looked worse and then they managed to get lumps of grout on the newly painted walls. They decided to hide their badly cut granite countertop and backsplash by painting the white grout the color of the wall. The walls around the vanities showed where the previous vanity was. It took one of the members of the team at least 3 times to work on smoothing out the wall and adding texture back in. If only they had fixed the wall before putting in the vanity, then they wouldn’t have such a hard time getting to the wall. If you look throughout our home, there are many places where the old items were removed and you can still see the outline of those items such as the towel rack outline of where the old one hung. After all of these disasters, Treeium still expects us to pay the remaining $2,800. They have decided to sue my husband for the remaining payment even though they did not finish their job and we are not satisfied with the work that was done.

Small leak after finishing. Roofers claimed is paid a far lower price when applying for s permit so they didn't have to do all that they were supposed to. The town caught that and held them to the higher cost requirements.

it was a bad experience close to terrible

Selected Treeium for a master bathroom remodel and Rafi, the project manager, has been excellent in listening to all of our requests and concerns. He's guided us through each step in the process with great detail which is key given the scale of this project. The entire crew involved in this remodel has been fantastic.

Every time I gave suggestions to do something, the price was raised a couple of thousand dollars. Did not continuosly work on the project. Project manager was very aggressive in trying to get more money for the project from me. I was very reluctant to trust him because I didn't know what is coming next. About three weeks ago before the floor heater was installed, the sub contractor brought over an electrician who claims that I needed my circuit panel replaced to the tune of $4750,00. It is unclear if this is related to the installation of the floor heater. When I declined this offer from the electrician, the sub contractor said that he could still install the floor heater but it still has not been done. I was gone for most of January but have been available since February 8. I have left my closet empty for about 3 months with clothes all over the living room so the project could be completed.

I would not rehire them or recommend them to build a dog house for the neighbor that I don't like. I have a contractor and an attorney in my house next week to inspect my house and see all the problems that I am having. The cost started at $130,000 and ended at $165,000. They were totally overrated. They made promises such as they would re-move my house as a handicap if possible and that just did not happen. The quality of work, and the responsiveness of the workers was absolutely lousy.

Company rep came out and reviewed my project. That was the last I heard of them. I called company about a month later and asked the rep to call me. I never heard back. I can understand that a company might not want to do a particular job. However, having spent my time going over the project with them, I expect the courtesy of a call back. All the rep had to do was say the company didn't want to do a project of this size. Common courtesy requires a call back so that the customer knows to look for another company.

I called at approx. 2pm Thursday and scheduled an inspection for the next day, at 10am Friday. After that, I received 6-8 emails and texts confirming my appointment and thanking me. including one promising a special phone call Friday morning to tell me about a Veterans Day promotion. I then received 2 more messages before 8am Friday morning. The texts and emails were excessive - just plain overkill. Then at 8:40 am, while driving to the property, the dispatcher called and said the estimator would not be coming, because he needed to crawl under the house and it would still be wet from recent rains. I questioned this because it had not rained recently. I learned he was in LA, 400 miles away. I informed him it had not rained and was not wet, and it wouldn't matter anyway because you can walk underneath the entire house. The guy was just making stuff up to get out of coming. I don't know if they just overbook their estimators, or if the guy just refused to come from Lafayette to Oakland. So, they cancelled on me less than 90 minutes before our appointment, after a ridiculous amount of communication thanking me and promising to do a wonderful job for me. Just plain ridiculous. And Unprofessional. They did me a favor. I wouldn't want to work with a company who conducts themselves like this.

I had a good experience but not with them directly. When they came out said that they work directly for the company, they are their employees but it turned out that it's not true. They are sub contracted to somebody else. I didn't like that they lied to me about the workers. I would never use them again in the future.

Treeium changed my old, cramped kitchen from an eyesore to a functional, beautiful room that's a pleasure to work in. My project manager, Eitan Epstein, really listened to my concerns, made suggestions and gave me a great design with quality materials at a fair price. The foreman, Walter Ng, and his team, Jack, Tony, Bill, Sunny, Jason and Steven showed up on time and worked hard every day, all day. The project was finished two weeks ahead of schedule and I couldn't be happier with the result. I would recommend Treeium to my friends and neighbors for any remodeling project they might have.

I contacted Treeium through a website form where they were one of three contractors recommended to me. Their sales guy called and called and called after they received the form, so I agreed to an appointment for them to assess the work we needed to do. My husband spent 2 hours with a so-called "designer" showing him exactly what we wanted. We had our own rough drawings already as well as measurements, so we were in good shape. We were promised a design/quote within a week. 10 days went by and we heard nothing, so we followed up and their "designer" arranged an appointment. He came over with 2 hand drawn sketches, but no quote. Very odd. So, after spending another 90 minutes with him being super clear about what we wanted, off he went with a promise to get back in touch by the end of the week with a quote. And maybe better drawings? End of the week comes and goes, and into the next week, and still nothing. By the end of the 2nd week, I call the sales guy who had been hounding me for an appointment, and send him 2 emails... no return calls, no email response. So, I call their main office and get a very nice helpful lady who is astounded that I haven't heard back from anyone, and she will resolve today. She calls me back a few hours later and says she has tracked down the "designer" and he had a family emergency, and he promised he would call me the same day with an explanation.The "designer" calls, he's very apologetic and really wants to convince us Treeium are the best company to do our work, etc etc. It's exactly the kind of project he loves, very sorry but he had a death in the family. To which I respond that I am very sorry for his loss, but Treeium is a firm with a number of sales people, office people and contractors, and not even the sales guy who had hounded me initially bothered to return my call... Anyway, he asks if he can make another appointment to meet. I ask him what new news he has for us as we have already spent 3.5 hours with him, and at this point, we aren't interested in meeting, we'd like to see an email quote with all the detailed work laid out. He says "I have a rough quote for you.." "Great" I said, "please forward it to my email"... to which he responds "well it's pretty high level and I haven't written everything down yet... it's between $33 - 36k". Wow. So no details to confirm what is or isn't included? I let him know that it seemed that in two weeks, he hadn't spent more than a minute on our project, and that didn't bode well for them being able to complete work reliably. He asked me to consider giving him another chance, and I said I would let him know by the end of the week. Anyway, obviously I was done with these losers. I'll plant my own tree when my selected contractors finish my bathroom project... the contractors that actually bothered to give me a detailed quote that is!!!

Currently we in week two of the our remodel and Treeium responds to us when we see something that does not look right or we want to add to the remodel. The onsite foreman overseeing the construction is great and responds to our questions and concerns. The construction crew always cleans up prior to going home for the day, which I greatly appreciate with having a dog that will eat anything he finds on the ground. We added repiping our home to the project and Treeium willingly took on the extra work of removing our 63 year old cast iron pipes and replacing them with copper and PVC. The project manager for our remodel Eitan has been really great and has stayed on top of any questions or issues that have come up with the remodel. He goes way beyond what I would expect someone to do, a true professional. Can't wait to have our kitchen and bathroom back. This will truly be a great transformation from our out dated kitchen and bathroom to a modern version. I would recommend Treeium to anyone that needs to make home improvements.

I called Treeium to set up an estimate for an add-on to my home. When I received the confirmation call, the woman on the phone asked if my husband was going to be present for the estimate. I assured her that I would be there on time but my husband may be late due to traffic. She explained to me that the company doesn't like to do any work without the husband present. This didn't make sense to me since I was a single homeowner before I was married. When I told her this, she replied back with, and quot;Are you going to feel comfortable signing a contract?and quot;. I answered yes and that I was fully capable of working with contractors and making decisions. I even told her that the house was mine. But then she asked again if I was sure I would be ok with signing a contract without my husband. At that point I realized I was not considered an equal. I kindly told the lady on the phone to cancel our appointment. As a woman, I am capable of doing business. I can make financial decisions, I just wont be making them with Treeium.

It is a high end remodel. The experience depends on who I am dealing with. Like other contractors they have issues with the people who work for them. Dealing with the company itself and the project manager has been a pure pleasure. They have been very receptive to our issues. Depending on who it is, the punctuality has been an issue. The people doing the work are a little less punctual than the rest of the staff. The project managers and supervisors are very punctual. We are considering having them do the kitchen after they finish.

The crew was here everyday at 8 and worked all day. They cleaned up, and answered any of my concerns as they came up. The new room was finished ahead of schedule, and looks fantastic. I also used them for the design purposes which also went very well with the architect and the project manager involved in all of the details, giving me options as we refined the plan. I was not committed to using them for the construction until after the design was completed. This gave me the time to assess if I thought that I could work with the company. The only downside that I encountered was the initial consultation. The young man that they sent was less than knowledgeable, but in a follow up call from the office, they convinced me to talk to a project manager, and from there it was a great experience. Based on the initial contact, I would not have used this company. I have done several remodels over the years and this was by far the best, fastest and most professional crew that I have used.
