Home Front Renovations

Horrible news experience !!! Michael bids jobs but you never see him. Project manager nice but has too many projects and not able to stay up on things. So many things went wrong. My addiction cabinet was literally made from plywood. Light weight, hollow, rough splintery edges, wood grain visible. Just horrible. Making cheap cabinets but charging for something else. Left a hole in wall where gas line exits. Cold draft all winter until we figured it out. No sheet rock around piping or anything wth! Trim not finished in several places. Hardwoods with gouges. Hardwood staining onto other wood that wasn’t part of project. They have no attention to detail at all. Employees are just a free for all. No direction. If I wasn’t there everyday they’d just slap it together however they wanted and easiest for them put money in pocket and move on to next victim. They will meet up with some lawyer or doctor that will eventually sue them. Karma…. Constantly charging for “extra work”. Things that are obviously should be in a quote like filling nail holes in walls, and cabinet nail holes for hardware during the sanding and priming stages. It’s not rocket science! Think ahead Homefront! I’m way more meticulous than this company. They should hire me to be the project manager…I could do better and I did! Just don’t use this group. All they want to do is get your project done so they can send a professional photographer over to build their portfolio that’s just a lie.

A fantastic team. They met every promise they made before the project work started and completed our 4-bathroom remodeling in a very professional way and on the promised time schedule. Amanda and Mark were great to work with.

You should choose Home Front Renovations for your kitchen or bath project. We just finished a total kitchen remodel with Home Front and are delighted with the results. We had a great experience working with all of the great people at Home Front and they delivered a gorgeous new kitchen to us. Home Front was great to work with at every step of the way from estimates to detailed specifications for the project to the finished kitchen. They were flexible in structuring the project and also helped us pick out the décor and materials. Best of all, the entire project was finished in only three weeks. This included removing a load-bearing wall and replacing flooring, cabinets, counters, appliances, etc. There was no wasted time. People were onsite working every day. The steps they took throughout the project to keep our home livable through the project were very considerate. The entire team was very respectful, courteous and conscientious about the quality of their work. If we were not happy with something they went the extra mile to make changes to assure we were satisfied with the end result. I highly recommend Home Front for your next project. They will make your life in your home better! They did for us.

Home Front Renovations was great to work with. We enclosed some attic space for an office and very large walk in closet. From Keith, on getting everything scoped out, to Jay, our Project Manager, who was very accessible, answered any and all questions we had, to Leo. Leo framed, insulated, floored, sheet rocked, painted, and finish trimmed it all. We had one little problem with a light switch and Jay brought Mark out to fix it the next day. I can not recommend them enough. They were recommended to me by my neighbor. Great team!

Excellent renovation experience. Two small guest bathrooms upstairs in 82 year old home. Predicted 3 weeks start to finish (tear-out to final inspection). Nailed that. My city has a lot of odd permitting requirements that slowed down the start. Of note: custom cabinets are constructed for the job. Tile work is excellent. Even removed two large tiles and replaced at our request (no complaints - had not set right versus rest of work). Had two unique issues we knew about before tear out that they incorporated into their work. Water draining from condensate lines in attic were problematic (fixed) and I idly commented to assembled craftsmen that when one upstairs shower was running the noise downstairs was unusually loud. They insulated the pipes in the floor during tear-out of the tub and solved the problem completely. They are probably a bit more expensive than their competition that constantly advertise on the local evening news but here is what you get for your money: 1. Complete access to a huge tile store for selections. 2. 3 hours with a design consultant. She walks the stores with you. (Tile, countertops, fixtures) 3. The guys that tear-out also do the restoration. This is handy for inflight changes. 4. Custom built cabinets 5. Shower installation was excellent. As an upstairs location it needed to be extraordinary waterproof. 6. You see an issue “inflight” you bring it up to project foreman and/or job leader. They are on it. 7. They never said “no”. They did have a complete contract with scope of work and if the request was outside of that scope they added it to the cost or in some cases just did it if it was relatively minor. When I came in under budget they backed that price out of the original bid. Honorable company. Great employees. Highly recommend based on this experience.

I cannot praise the Home Front Renovations team enough. We had two of our bathrooms gutted and redone - from start to finish the whole experience has been fantastic. The team pays attention to every detail while also working with efficiency. Elvis and his crew did the most amazing job, true artists. They took such care to make sure everything was set perfectly and they just do such beautiful work. The level of care and attention to detail is second to none. We wouldn't go to anyone else but Home Front Renovations for any home improvement projects.

We found Home Front Renovations on Angie's List in late July and got a call from the owner, Michael, within a day. I sent pictures of the current space and they scheduled an estimator, Keith, out within a week. The estimate process was quick and very thorough. I received a 10+ page estimate with detailed information on everything that would be done as part of the project i.e., materials that would be used, diagram of the layout of the bathroom including lighting/electrical additions and sample pictures to show options quoted. The estimate included all projected costs (including materials). We are very pleased with the execution and results of the renovation. Homefront project manager, Chris, and the on-site crews (Joaquin, Juan, Jose and others) were friendly, responsive and good at their job. I especially appreciated Chris' texts in the morning to tell me what to expect for the upcoming day. The project took about 4 weeks and included city permits and inspections.

Our biggest concerns on this project were cost, quality of work, and keeping to a schedule that didn’t put us out of our master bath for a long time. There were a few communications glitches with project managers at the office, and also times when I thought they were not willing to communicate on certain topics. Follow-through was sketchy at times. This is my first remodel project, so my expectations may have been a little high. Still, being unresponsive is not professional under any circumstance. I cannot say enough good things about the onsite crew. They made it a success. Project leader Roman Bencomo is the best I’ve seen—flexible, friendly, punctual and quick. He has a good eye, paid attention to detail, and made the room pop. Due credit to Home Front for putting together and supporting an outstanding crew and for providing what was most important to us.

Home Front handled an extensive home remodel for us and we are very pleased with the results and the entire process of working with them. Their work was excellent and the scheduling transition between the various crews was seamless so that there were no delays. Everyone we worked with was knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely accommodating (particularly in working with our schedule and when we requested changes after the project started). Communication was great -- they kept us up to date on progress, delays, what they needed from us, etc. Having design help was important for me, and they were able to provide that, too. Everything turned out better than we expected and the process was easier than we expected. Big thanks to everyone at Home Front for a great job and awesome experience!

They transformed my kitchen into the vision I had. The people at each step of the remodel were nice and wanted to do quality work.

Everyone at Home Front Renovations was responsive, courteous and professional, but Joaquin and his crew went above and beyond. They arrived every morning at 8:00 and left well after 5:00. Joaquin asked my opinion and preferences on several details and always patiently waited for my answer. The very extensive renovation took just five weeks and is beautiful - thoroughly updating this 1960's ranch house. The whole process went very fast and very well - two terms you don't usually hear with remodels!

I REALLY LIKE THE BUSINESS MODEL HERE. THE CONTRACTS AND PROJECT SHEETS ARE SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD. THEY USE SUBCONTRACTORS ONLY FOR THE GLASS AND GRANITE, THE REST IS IN-HOUSE. JENN R DOES THE ESTIMATE, THEN JENN F PROVIDES 3 HOURS OF DESIGN ASSISTANCE. WE WERE EASILY ABLE TO PICK OUT TILE AND GRANITE IN THAT TIME, AND SHE DID LET ME SNEAK IN A FEW DESIGN QUESTIONS LATER ON... :-) THEN THEY ORDER EVERYTHING NEEDED AND WHEN IT ARRIVES, IN COME YOUR INSTALLERS. VICTOR AND HIS DAD WERE SKILLED, CAREFUL AND RESPECTFUL OF MY HOME, PATIENT WITH MY MANY QUESTIONS AND SMALL REQUESTS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR THOSE OF US THAT DONT KNOW A LOT ABOUT CONSTRUCTION AND REMODELING - THEY MADE THIS AS EASY AND SIMPLE AS SUCH A THING CAN BE. THANK YOU, KUDOS TO THE TEAM!!

This is my 2nd time working with the Home Front team. They are so great to work with from Michael, the owner, to Tom the project manager, to the entire working team that completed the job - Jose, Alex, and Paul (thank you 3!). I appreciate the constant communication, honesty, professionalism and flexibility. Jose, Alex, and Paul stayed focused until the job was complete to our satisfaction and did great work! I highly recommend them and will use them again if needed as they have a family feel and the pricing is very reasonable. They're a pleasure to work with and extremely trustworthy in dealing with.

Home Front did an amazing job with our bathroom and kitchen remodel. This was our first time going through a major home renovation project and didn’t know what to expect. Home Front made this a very smooth process from start to finish. Pricing-wise, they were very comparable to the other bids we received. However, we had a good feeling about this company and definitely glad we choose them. Everyone we worked with was wonderful! Jennifer was our Estimator and did a great job. Compared to others that came out for a bid, she truly listened and understood our wants/needs and even provided other recommendations that we didn’t think of. Jenn was the Designer that we worked with. She is a really nice person and provided us with great suggestions for our tile, granite, backsplash, etc. Jenn was extremely patient with us and definitely has an impressive eye for design. Tom was our Project Manager who did a nice job with keeping the project moving. There were some items out of our control with certain parts/products not being available, but he was able to resolve any issues that came up. Roman and his assistant Jimmy performed all of the renovation work. I can’t say enough good things about Roman. He’s truly a hard working guy who did an amazing job with our project. With us working from home during these times, I got to truly see how much hard work Roman put into this project. He is very detail oriented, professional, and handled every task that came his way. Overall, this was a great experience with Home Front.

We were very impressed with the setup process once we said yes to having them remodel our bathroom. They keep in communication with is through out the setup up and the process of the project. We were very impressed with Jennifer who came out and gave us our estimate, she listened to what we needed and when she came to go over the design with the team a few months after the initial consultation, on the first day she remembered everything we asked for. We had Tom as our project manager and he did a great job trying to make everything run smoothly. Unfortunately you can't control other companies you rely on for things but he did a great job communicating with us. Roman the the person who remodeled the bathroom did am amazing job and Roman even gave us suggestions on what might work in our bathroom remodel. We definitely recommend them to anyone who needs to remodel a bathroom.

Everything about the process was easy, helpful and stress free. The owner, Michael, was the first person we met and he walked us through the entire process. Since this was our first project ever, we had lots of questions which he patiently and honestly answered. Jenn helped with the design and again, patience and information was delivered as we decided on the looks for our bathroom remodel. Mark, Sergio and Jay were our team and they were friendly, professional, punctual, easy to talk to and most importantly did amazing work. We are so very happy with the process, the people we worked with, the quality of the work and the cost of the project.

We chose Home Front Renovations for our small 5’x 9’ bathroom remodel after meeting with several contractors and doing a lot of research online. Michael listened to what we wanted and was readily available to us as we had more questions. Project included removing a wall and fir-down enclosing the shower, tearing out a concrete shower seat, relocating vanity light and shower controls, bringing a sunken shower up to floor level, installing shower walls with a recessed niche, shower light, low profile shower base, fold-down shower seat and top-rolling sliding glass shower door, adding large recessed medicine cabinet, new vanity light and quartz vanity top, lighted vent fan, removing popcorn ceiling, adding new texture, repainting ceiling, walls and vanity, installing new toilet and all accessories. Manny, Ernie, and J.R. did a superb job with the installation. They were very polite and respectful of us and our home. Because the crew spoke only English communication was easy and thorough. Our remodeled bathroom is now more efficient. It looks and feels more open with fewer barriers to movement. We are very pleased with the outcome and would not hesitate to use Home Front Renovations again.

Project was done to work with our schedule which was very helpful. Home Front team was responsive and took care of any items that came up without delay. They assist to solve any problems and Roman was great. He did almost out entire remodel and had worked on our previous remodel of kitchen and master bath. We highly recommend Roman. He was punctual, hard working, stayed on schedule and cleaned up daily before leaving. Home Front team did a very nice job for us again. They have designers to help you select and guide you in your selections. Thanks Team!

Our old worn down kitchen is now a gorgeous and modern functioning kitchen! We could not be happier with this company. From early communication, to structured project management of the renovation, to delivering an above excellent quality product, Homefront delivers with exceptional service from day 1. We loved that we had a team of people who worked to make sure no details were missed. Plenty of communication and proper controls in place make this company outstanding. But the great star of this renovation was our reno team - Paul and Rodrigo. They are amazing. I couldn't find one thing they couldn't do on their own. They are masters at what they do and my kitchen, laundry room, and family room are proof. I am so proud to show off my renovation. Thank you Homefront for delivering above and beyond our expectations!

This is the company for kitchen and bath remodels!! The whole team did an amazing job! Excellent craftmanship. Beautiful work! The designer, workers, project manager, bookkeeper--all a joy to work with!!

The project was finished on time and work completed is beautiful! Communication with company was timely and attentive. The workers were diligent and hard working. We are very happy with the results.

Let me first start off with saying "I love my kitchen". I will list out the pros and cons. Cons. 1. They were a bit more pricey than the other 2 contractors. 2. The project was estimated to be completed in 8 days, it took 10 but again the 8 days was an estimation. 3. I was told the faucet would be Delta and it is a Kraus, which is cheaper in price but charged the exact same. Pros. 1. I loved Jennifer "The Estimator" from the initial meeting. She was my main contact through the entire process. 2. They are extremely organized and respond to emails/text rather quickly. 3. Jenn "The Design Consultant" was great at helping me come up with ideas. The backsplash came out perfect. 4. Jay "The Project Manager" was great, she came by at least once a day to make sure the crew had all the supplies they needed. She also helped me tremendously when I had to choose the granite template. 5. The crew - Joaquin and Juan were absolutely amazing! They were friendly, hard working and communicated when they were unsure of somethings. They cleaned up at the end of their long day. I felt very comfortable with them and didn't second guess leaving them to go run errands. Also, Miseal and Jose had to step in one day and they were also hardworking and amazing! 6. The kitchen looks very professional and I love it! Overall, the pros outweighed the cons. I hear horror stories of people getting ripped off by contractors everyday and I felt paying a higher price was worth it for my sanity. Looking forward to my flooring project!

We so appreciated Tom and Paul. They wanted to make sure we were totally happy. I was impressed with their attention to detail. I would recommend them many times over

They did a great job. We really enjoyed working with Paul and Ricardo. They came on time every morning, worked diligently throughout the day and kept us up to date with their progress. They cleaned up and were very professional in their work with us. Company was good and had a lot of special interaction with us. We had to pick a new granite countertop and they were very quick to get a new selection and have it ready. The floor in the bathroom may need some rework due to the sub-floor condition. I wish it was noticed before too much work had been done, but we were trying to do it on budget. It will all work out in the end.

Very professional and talented team. They estimated the project accurately and delivered on promises. Final outcome exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend.
