I believe the process went smoothly despite the fact the contractors were working in a very small area with their equipment because my place is a condo. Both workers showed up on time and stayed on the job. At first, I thought they were working too slowly, but when I noticed they were working taking time to make sure it would be done correctly, I changed my thoughts. Some days, the two workers arrived later than other days but they always stayed longer on those days to work the job. They usually informed me the night before as to the time they would arrive the next morning. The foreman even did some work in the bathroom ceiling which needed to be done and I was not charged for it. On top of that, I was given his telephone number that I could call if I had any questions about anything so that was a relief to know I could get my questions answered whenever I thought of them when they were not on the job. He also had access to my work phone number for which he could call me and discuss any issues that would arise during his time working. Overall, the work was done with much professionalism, thoroughness, and high integrity. I would definitely call them back to do any work in the future because I know I can depend on what they say and what they do.

All Renovations was recommended to us by a close friend who had them completely renovate their baseement and add a custom bathroom with all antique fixtures. Their finished product looked amazing and had nothing but good things to say about the work and the value offered by All Renovations so we included them in our short list. After we called to make the appointment for a quote, Omar was able to accomodate a date and time very quickly. After he came to our house, he got back to us within a day with a quote for the entire renovation! We were able to review and make a few changes and discuss a final cost with Omar. He was by far the most responsive and business oriented of the contractors we had come out for estimates and using the model where we would purchase any finishing materials provided a value over the others. After signing, Omar informed us within a week we would hear from our foreman to schedule a date for a walk through of our basement. Our foreman's name was Edwin and he was very easy to work with. Anytime we had a question he was always very responsive. We made some changes to our design and we worked with Omar and Edwin on the cost changes and everything was done to our satisfaction. The crew worked very hard, were clean, and were all very friendly. They would often offer design recomendations if they thought something in the plan may not look quite right as designed. After starting the demo, Edwin provided us with the amount of each product to purchase based on the plans and any discussions we had with him so we could go order the products and ensure they would get delivered in time. Although we chose to deal with the permit office ourselves, Edwin and his crew always dealt with the building inspectors and ensured everything was done to code and passed the inspection.The project was completed on schedule and budget and Edwin ensured that we were completely happy with everything before packing up for the last time. Overall we were very happy with our experience. Everything was done very nicely and looks great! We are very happy with how it all turned out. Our bathroom looks very high-end and custom and really made the remainder of the basement feel as if it were part of the house. We are thrilled to have been able to take an un-usable section of our house and make it part of the living space. The only downside is now we need to remodel our other bathroom so it does not feel out of place next to our new spa-like bathroom downstairs. We would definitely use All Renovations again for any projects in our home.

After the contract was signed, the foreman came to the location to discuss the job and take measurements. He was fantastic and immediately called out some things to be considered in the planned layout (this was our first big remodeling job and we did not have architect plans, so his/their guidance was helpful). He came back for one more visit before work began. When we were able to agree on a start date, the team showed up on-time, prepared to work. They were professional and friendly. We reviewed the schedule daily to ensure we were on the same page and that my expectations were in line with what they could do. Additionally, both my foreman and estimator were very patient with my questions and requests for add on work. Demolition went smoothly and was cleaned up immediately. Framing, installation of plumbing and electrical occurred next and required some discussion, to clarify my requests and ensure everything had been considered (our house was build in 1939, so it has it's quirks). The foreman was great in coaching me through things to consider and possible changes to my original plan. All the recommendations were thoughtful and fair. The finish work (tile, painting, staining) went smoothly. Throughout the whole process, I was always aware of the status of things, possible delays or challenges. It was a very manageable experience, which we honestly were not expecting. Now that it's done - we love the end product! All Renovations did a fantastic job and we would definitely recommend them to others in need of this type of work!

Remodeling both bathrooms took approximately 2 weeks from start to finish. Each morning the same 1 or 2 men showed up. Before I left for work we would coordinate on what I wanted where and what they expected to complete that day. They took direction well and helped me decide where/how to put certain things (corner shelves in shower, towel bars...). They started with the full bath which included removing tile from all 4 walls and the floor and replacing that with new tiles around just the shower (with accent tile) and on the floor. They installed drywall to the remainder of the walls and installed all new fixtures, and vanity. They re-installed our existing toilet, did some plumbing for the tub and sink and painted everything including both sides of the door. During the demo they discovered an issue with the wall studs so had to add extra work (and cost) to fix that problem, but I'm sure the walls are better structurally now than they were. When they were installing the tiles in the shower they realized that we had two shades of white tile and the wrong type of grout. I was still at work so they went to Home Depot to buy new/additional tile and the correct grout and fronted the purchase with some of their own money until we had enough cash to reimburse them. A few messes and accidents occurred, like demo debris getting into our HVAC vents and cutting all the way through the wall to install the new recessed mirror. If they didn't notice the errors themselves, I pointed them out and they fixed it. The half bath was a breeze after the full bath. They replaced the vinyl flooring with tile and installed a new vanity and all new fixtures and some plumbing. The also painted the whole bathroom including door and re-installed our existing toilet. They cleaned up the house once all the dirty work was done and kept their tools and supplies tidy when they left for the day. Overall they were great to work with and performed good work. But some work seemed rushed like a few uneven tiles and cut lines in the shower, dark marks along the top of the tub where they installed new tiles and paint drips. Also, and unexpected to them, the paint tape they used to hold cardboard in place where they were walking across our hardwood floors pulled the varnish up off the floors when they removed it.

HORRIBLE...The owner showed up in his BMW with all his licenses and degrees, and I NEVER saw him again. Everything I asked them to do, was done wrong...but a couple of the things that I STILL remember...I ordered a medicine cabinet, and they cut out my wall 16 inches off center to put it in...so my bathroom mirror was about a foot off center of my sink...they tiled my walk-in shower and just added about an 1" of uneven slate tile at the top and called it a day...After I called, they fixed it... And after asking them to tile the walk-in shower, they tiled the ENTIRE bathroom....walls and everything...and then acted like I was CRAZY when I told them to take the tile down... Then they put in my bathtub...WITHOUT a SPOUT...bathtub...no bathspout...after they fixed it, called another contractor in to check it out...even though it 'was under warranty' didn't want them back in my home... AND, all the hardware was hung wrong...I gave up...I took a ruler and pencil to show them where to hang my towel/hand/toilet paper bars...and it was ALL wrong...everytime I reach for my toilet paper in my hallway bath and it is on the wrong side...I think of ALL RENOVATIONS....I had to correct everything they did to hang all the 'hardware'... They subcontract everything...and the subcontractor tried, but he was never here...but the ICING on the cake...was when I had a leak under my new sink...and found an 'Ortega Refried Bean' can (from MY recycling bin) under my NEW sink catching a leak...I actually had to ask them to fix the leak...since as I told them 'my recycled can is overflowing'...I have updated several houses, and this remodel was the WORST...they are the reason I joined Angies list....

Though I did not choose All Renovations for my project, anyone considering such an endeavor without including them in their decision process is making a mistake. There estimate was fair, understandable, and competitive with their peers. They may be exactly what you are looking for... just give them a chance to show you what they can do.

I can't say enough about how well All Renovation's work crew performed. They gutted the space quickly and had it framed and ready for drywall in about two weeks. Throughout, the crew was professional, hard-working; they kept the work area clean and noise and dust to a minimum. Their foreman, Adrian, was excellent at managing the myriad details of the project. He was precise in everything he did and was particularly adept in finding creative solutions to the inevitable problems that arise during a big project like this. The punch list at the end was minimal, and several weeks after the job was essentially completed, there were no problems that required them to come back to fix. Needless to say, we were extremely happy with the work, the workmanship and the final product. We may have some other projects to do next year, and we will definitely be looking to All Renovation again to do the work.

The bathroom in my condo was in desperate need of a thorough renovation. It was built in the late 1980s, which was evidently a terrible time for bathroom design. I received a few estimates but all things considered I was most confident going with All Renovations, and specifically I was impressed with Omar’s (the owner) knowledge of the business and willingness to spend time discussing my options. I had the bathroom completely gutted and then everything built up anew, including the ceramic tile shower, floor to ceiling tile designed with different size tiles and at different angles, new lighting (recessed and vanity), re-location of electrical elements, and installation of new toilet, vanity, and other hardware. Omar recommended a certain foreman to handle the job and I am glad that he did because that fellow in particular did an excellent job. I made a couple design changes midstream and Omar was happy to accommodate my evolving wishes. I endorse All Renovations and would be happy to provide a verbal testimonial.

The service was bad. They couldn't read the schematic and the quality of the craftsmanship was unprofessional. They did not give me the manpower that they said they were going to.

I was extremely unhappy with them. Every time it rains, the doors leak. They completely destroyed my doors.

There was a delay in starting the first bathroom; I wanted to start the first part of October, to ensure that both bathrooms were completed well before Thanksgiving, as I had company coming. However, Omar called and advised me that his foreman/workman, Adrian, would not be able to start before the 17th of October. He assured me that the delay would still allow the work on both bathrooms to be completed by Thanksgiving. It ended up taking more than three weeks total for the first bathroom, but there were some changes made to the original work order, and a few minor issues to be corrected, which were done promptly. The second bathroom took two weeks, with just a couple of minor issues which were attended to within a very reasonable amount of time. Between the two bathrooms, I purchased items from five or six different companies, some local, some online. I had a vision of what the bathrooms would look like when finished, and I have to say, when finished, they surpassed all my expectations. The tile work looks beautiful, as nice a job (in both bathrooms) as I've ever seen in any home. If you call All Renovations, you will find that they are honest, and give you excellent value for your money. The foreman will take measurements and instruct you every step of the way in the purchasing of bathroom tile, grout, caulk, fixtures, and hardware. (BTW, I STRONGLY suggest that you obtain a knowledgeable store clerk to help you when purchasing the shower/bathtub fixtures, as some of the fixtures do not include all of the pieces needed to assemble them, and must be purchased separately.) When I was making the case for renovating these bathrooms, my husband complained that the old bathrooms were just fine, we didn't need to update them (even though we'd lived with the old stuff for 20+ years) we could use the money somewhere else more effectively, etc. BUT NOW, even he agrees...they look just BEAUTIFUL!! He loves to tease me now, and says "FINALLY, you listened to me and updated those awful old bathrooms!!" Call Omar and have him give you a free estimate today. You won't be disappointed, I promise!!
