Modern Innovations

Irving is absolutely amazing!!!  If I could give him 10 stars then I would.  I don't think I have the vocabulary to express just how awesome he and his crew are.  I'm going to try my best.  First and foremost - Irving and his team do great work at a reasonable and fair price.  His commitment to excellence is evident.  

To give a little background, I contacted Irving in May '22, about a potential plumbing project and building a closet for a spare bedroom.  Over the course of the next 7 months, Irving and his team have helped me completely remodel the house.  This is due in large part to 3 main qualities that Irving possesses - honesty, dependability, flexibility

Irving is honest about what things will entail and upfront about costs and timeframes.  If something won't look good or is going to cost a lot to do, he is the first one to speak up and share that

Irving and his team are dependable. When he says he will show up and get a job done, that is what he does.  In the rare instance he couldn't make it, he was quick to communicate and ensure he was there at his earliest convenience.  Also the jobs were completed on time or quicker than quoted which is uncommon to find now

Irving is extremely flexible.  Many times I would add to jobs or change design or just generally change the vision for a project.  Irving was always willing to listen and adapt.  

Over the last few months, I've really felt like Irving was more of a partner in this renovation than just a contractor doing some project.  I can't thank him enough for everything he's done.  And it has been my absolute pleasure to get to know him.

I rarely write reviews and certainly none of this length, but Irving is special and deserves all of this and much more.  If you get the opportunity to partner with Irving then I highly encourage you to do so

Take care Irving and I wish you all the best!

From the first day that I met Irving, I felt that he was a man of good character. I would not have hired him past that day if I thought otherwise. Throughout the course of the project he took on for my client, he continued to exemplify that good character in addition to his amazing workmanship. His team was also very professional and even more timely. I was thoroughly surprised at how great the job turned out, especially for how quickly they were able to get it done.

This project included painting, flooring, carpeting, and more of a 2 bd 2 ba condo.

When obstacles came up, Irving kept his cool and professionally proceeded with whatever solution that was necessary. Very grateful for Moden Innovations, and will continue to use them moving forward! Thanks again!

Irving is the guy you're looking for. While other companies are giving you the runaround and blaming poor customer service & delays on Covid, Irving is building his business by being polite, prompt, and professional.

I hired Irving to add some tile to a kitchen island and in a butlers pantry as a backsplash. He was able to fit me in the week after my inquiry and offered a very reasonable rate. He also handled the material pickup from Floor & Decor so I didn't have to get my vehicle dirty with construction materials.

Irving's work is quality. You can see it in the photos. But he is also considerate and reliable. He showed up when he said he would. He was done when he said he would be. Even when he took a lunch break, he would ask if I wanted him to bring me food. He's the kind of contractor that I'll call first & will absolutely use again. Highly recommended.

I hired modern innovation to do a remodel in my kitchen, new flooring in the main living area's paint, move washer and dryer to another room and turn previous laundry area into a pantry, and some other things.  My first meeting Irving I felt like he would be a good fit as he seem to have good ideas and understood what I wanted and I felt I was clear.   Keep in mind my father and brother were contractors, my husband has done construction. So I'm not an idiot, but I am not by any means a contractor or even a laborer for that matter so I really relied on his expertise.   I found him to be confusing at time's, forgetful in regard to conversations we had. His way of speaking to me put me on the offensive and made me question who I hired.  And why my pantry, my front, main living room, and other minor things are not done. Once the final cabinet, was in I was done.  He's been paid for what he did. I have attached some pictures and I really hope I can comment on them but if I can't, here's a brief commentary of what I see.  On my door what is that? It doesn't match up with either side of the other floor boards and when he was installing the last cabinet he didn't notice that the the peeling paint on the ceiling. Again I know nothing about how to do carpentry but black nails on white baseboard I could swear you can get white nails if you don't plan on painting the baseboards. Putting up that ugly thing under my door I guess you didn't notice the piece of wall under the glass that was not painted nor the broken glass that wasn't broken before.  If  I could remove the one star, I gave him I would.  Now I am on the hunt for someone new that can remodel my bathroom.

Great work and a pleasure to have working on my home.  My project was a remodel necessitated by a water leak and grew into a beast of a project.  more than I could ever do myself.  While this was a big job from my perspective, Irving and his guys made quick work of it, kept me informed about each step of the project and did what they said they were going to do.  They were also really helpful in explaining my options on some decisions I needed to make and provided advice where it was needed.  High quality, honest work for a fair price is hard to find these days, but that is exactly what I got. This won't be the last project I have them do.

Can't say enough great things about Irving and Modern Innovations. He works fast, does very high quality work with great attention to detail. And at a very fair price. He is very skilled in seemingly every home remodel trade. If you are considering doing any work to your house (big or small) you should definitely give Irving a call

Attached are a few pictures of my shed, that Irving completely overhauled and is now my new detached office

Wow! We love Modern Innovations. My wife and I were contemplating purchasing a new home until the market went crazy. We had a dream for our home and Irving brought it to light. No job is too big for him. Irving and his team are beyond respectful, hard working and responsible. He set proper expectations and exceeded our timeline/vision. He renovated our entire kitchen and we're in love with it. Everyone who comes over comments on it and how beautiful it looks. Irving does the job like he's doing it for his home. We're having him come back to renovate our bathrooms/fireplace. We can't recommend Modern Innovations enough!!

Irving did a great job with our laundry room cabinets and countertop and an amazing job on our 24 foot accent wall. He has a high attention to detail and he shows up and is super reliable. Highly recommend

i hired irving for some built in shelves and a bench in my front living room. he came to my house to quote the project & all was fine (besides the scoff he gave me after he asked what material i wanted him to use, which i replied "idk, wood?" and he scoffed and said well there are different types-- i'm not in this line of work so how would i know?)

we moved forward w a start date & he drew up some sketches for me. he drew up 2 options, we both agreed one looked better than the other so we moved forward.

start date got pushed back 2 days bc of truck trouble. understandable. contract said start time was 8-9am, he text me to change it to 9-10 & i told him that's fine. they didn't show up until 1045. he had been to my house to do the quote, so he knew how far of a drive it would be.

cant remember if it was the second or third day, but i noticed it wasn't looking like the sketch we agreed on (a 6th shelf or the bottom being filled in & wainscoting across the bottom- we agreed on wainscoting option). so i nicely asked him about it and he said "you wanted a shelf" i told him no, we agreed on the wainscoting. and i showed him proof of our conversations & he said ok, & went & got more material to finish.

job took 3 days which was fine. everything looked good from what i could tell.

i had my painters come 3 days later to paint. my painter had to sand an area down on the bench bc the bench was hitting the side of the shelf when opened.

you'll see in the photos that from afar it looks amazing, but up close, the "finishing touches" were anything but that. u can still see the screws, the edges of the entire structure are uneven. and it seems that plywood was used for the underneath parts of the shelves & are now bowing. i sent irving a video 2 weeks later asking if i should be concerned about that and he said "The Wood is probably bowed or got bowed after paint. your fine. It's natural wood gets bowed as it gets exposed to chemicals like paint or even the weather"

not sure why one would use a material he knows could do this once painted?

like i said, the shelves look great from a distance. but up close, there are so many flaws & it makes me sick to think how much money i spent for a "finished" job like this.

We've had a great experience with Irving and his company. They have so far tackled our kitchen and baseboard mouldings throughout the house, and we will be adding stone to the fireplace next. They have been very helpful and informative at every step of the project, helping guide us towards making sound decisions. Their workmanship is excellent and they clearly take pride in what they do. We look forward to completing more projects together!

Irving, was punctual, efficient, asked all the right questions and then got to work. My job went smooth, I would recommend.  Thank you.

We found modern innovations on Yelp after a few other companies either turned us down or wanted to charge way to much. We needed a door frame widened to remove an old air conditioning unit from a utility closet. Irving was knowledgable, professional, and affordable. If and when I have more home projects to tackle I will definitely use them again!

Cannot recommend enough! I had a restoration job due to a malfunctioning water heater in my backyard casita, so I contacted Modern Innovations to provide an estimate. I was impressed from first contact, and even more impressed when he got me a price. Out of four contractor bids, his was lower by thousands, but most importantly, he could get started quicker than everyone else. Sure enough, he showed up when promised and his very efficient, polite and kind staff got busy. What I most appreciated was his communication of every detail. In a few days, he left the little house looking better than ever (even working on a Saturday to finish up), and alerted me to some other issues that could cause concern later. They know what they are doing and work clean and fast. I work with a lot a big contractors in my profession, and would choose Modern Innovations for my home over most of them.

We heard good things about Modern Innovations (MI) from a friend who lived in the Phoenix area and we were moving here from out of state.  It was easy to have work coordinated with them to get started before we even moved in.   They really listened to what we expected at finish and were very polite and respectful.  They didn't make a big deal out of a few change orders either... they had a very positive attitude!  The company worked everyday and long hours to make my deadline for moving in. The job turned out great and we already have them scheduled for additional projects!  Overall I was very happy with their work and would def recommend Modern Innovations.

my tech was Irving. He gave a fair quote and did exactly what he said he would do. He had trtrtrtttr

let's just say  has the worst platform for filling in a review. The next paragraph is me finishing the first one:

Irving had a bit of difficulty with my slider because the frame was old and slightly bent. Nonetheless, he was able to install the door so that it latched. He had to make frames for four of my windows because they are not standard frames. He did a fine job. I recommend him.

yelp not Jope

I'm very grateful to have hired Irving for my kitchen remodel! As someone new to remodeling a rental property, Irving was extremely helpful not only in completing the kitchen remodel but also with several other odd jobs around my property. I needed a new closet built, a bi-fold door installed, outlets replaced, bathroom vanity and hardware installed, curtains installed, and more! Instead of taking advantage of a first timer like me, he went above and beyond in offering advice and his help. His pricing is very reasonable and his advice alone has saved me thousands of dollars. It was so convenient to have Irving pick up additional items (toilet, door, sink, etc.) that I would have otherwise had to leave work to get myself. It's not something all contractors provide and I appreciated it! Overall he did a quality job on everything and I will hire him again for my next unit's remodel.

Pros of working with Irving:
Clean, quality work - very happy with how everything turned out!
He has integrity!
Proactive problem solver; he doesn't just do what you say without pointing out potential issues and alternatives.
Solid communication; he was always quick to respond and answered my questions clearly.

My windows and door failed during the last big storm.  I needed someone and fast.  I sent out a SOS to several contractors on Yelp. Irving was the fastest response and the easiest to work with.

Not only did he respond fast, but he worked fast too. Thanks to him no more window and door failure.

He is reliable, courteous, knowledgeable, communicative and I will definitely be having him do more work- in fact he will be working on a few other items for me in 2 weeks

Thank you Irving- you saved me.

When I text Irving he answered me immediately.  He came in a mask,
put down drop cloth. Did a great job, very thorough. Replaced three faucets,
took away the old. Very professional !
I was very pleased‼

Be forewarned! Do NOT hire this company! I received an estimate for work Irving Lopez was supposed to complete and I paid him in full and he did not do the work. In addition he lied to me because He said he replaced some broken tiles in the bathroom and all he did was paint over them. The contract was for him to fix some broken sliders on windows and he did not do that. The contract said he was to fix the garage door openers and I had to hire a garage door company to fix them after I paid him $1100 for a job and parts to include those items as well. Irving told me that he would send me the itemized receipt for the items I bought totaling in excess of $300 at Home Depot and never provided the itemized receipt. I paid over the phone with a credit card to Home Depot and he was supposed to provide me a photo or copy of the receipt listing the itemized items for which I paid. The most upsetting is that he would not even stand by his work after I contacted him after the work promised was not completed. He also left a disgusting toilet that stunk up the whole house. Don't trust Irving or this company!

Irving did a great job installing flooring in our laundry room and helping move the big appliances in there. It was quick and good quality work. He also assisted us with installing closet shelves and what not for two closets. Came out great again.

Irving transformed the kitchen and bathroom on my remodel into a modern classic.  Very detailed and thorough, just all around great job!  He also built a closet and bookshelf and the woodwork was exceptional.  Highly recommend!!

After not being listened too about what we were looking for, for our bathroom and being quoted and outrageous price we found Irving. He communicated with us through out the whole process and had a fair price. He even helped us out with some additional tasks. Highly recommend him for bathroom remodels!

Affordable, reliable, and very communicative. The final product of a massive half moon double-pane piece looks great!

He built a great fence for me, turned out sturdy and was a fair price. Hard worker, good communication, polite, would recommend. Also got a cracked window replaced and am happy with the result

He did a decent job. Nothing stellar. He was more than an hour late every day. He gave me a quote for the work then did half the job and then changed the price on me to more than double the original quote and hand cuffed me into having to have him finish. Just all around pathetically embarrassing professionalism.
