Best Remodeling in Irvine CA

MC Construction did a great job of replacing my old roof with a new energy efficient plywood & tile.  They added a few more vents and also replaced some weathered fascia boards. I want to thank Josh K. for being flexible & working with me to stay in my budget!  I would hire them again!  Possible new bathrooms in the future!

Titus did an exceptional job finding a hard to track leak in my home. The work was fast, reasonably priced, and most importantly, the leak is gone. He was also right on time, which is always appreciated when booking services. Will definitely call Pipe Bros first for plumbing needs.

Smart & Handy is very knowledgable about walk in bath tubs.  My husband has terrible arthritis.  These tubs are perfect for him!  And it's great to have a trustworthy contractor to make it happen.

Our downstairs bathroom started to get mold on the ceiling.  To make a long story short, the upstairs bathroom shower pan was leaking.

After the mold remediation team had finished and seemed to narrow down the problem to either a drain issue or shower pan issue for the upstairs bathroom, my wife and I contacted approximately 10 general contractors and shower installation companies using various sources (including Yelp, Google Reviews, word of mouth recommendations, internet searches, etc) to provide their recommendations/proposals for our shower and bathroom.

During the processing of obtaining contractor quotes, we were not comfortable with most of the contractors for various reasons including high sales pitch tactics, lack of detailed explanation relating to waterproofing techniques that will be used during construction, extremely high prices, etc.  We eventually narrowed down the list of contractors to two (including Ixtapa).  However, after further comparison of both companies, we ended up choosing Ixtapa partially due to their quote being more inclusive of everything we wanted done (drywall repair, painting, among other items), their flexibility in recommendations that considered our budget, and most importantly, Ixtapa's clear explanation of their waterproofing techniques in which the utmost care would be taken during their multilayered waterproofing method to minimize any chances of the new tile shower leaking in the future.  Other companies were vague in mentioning only hot mopping as an explanation.  We just felt Ixtapa was the complete package when considering fair price, knowledge, customer reviews showing high quality craftsmanship, communication, etc.  Alex was a very good communicator and listener when we shared our concerns/ideas.  Alex was excellent at balancing our concerns/ideas with his expert advice/recommendations (this skill set Ixtapa apart from the rest of the other construction companies we talked to).

Jay, Alex's business partner, is the construction guru.  Jay is very personable and has high expectations of quality that meet not only his high expectations, but also the customer's.  Although Ixtapa has some workers in addition to Jay, Jay does the detailed design, measurements, and most of the detailed construction.

I liked how Alex made clear what materials Ixtapa provides (rough materials, etc) and explains in detail what materials the customer provides (tile, fixtures, etc).  Alex even provided us a shopping list of items to purchase, quantities of each item, etc.  This made it easier for us.  When it came to choosing a new vanity, Alex recommended a few places for us to look at vanity options.  We settled on a place and we were able to purchase the vanity with Ixtapa's contractor's discount to save some money.  When I was stressed about some issues with vanity options while my wife was out of town on business, Alex took time out of his busy schedule to meet me at the store to help me through my struggles.  With the assistance of my wife by phone, and Alex's help, we were able to make a decision that worked out very well (thank you Alex!).

Ixtapa showed flexibility when we requested changes to the scope of work related to the niche, additional recessed lights, installing the additional exhaust fans in our other bathrooms, among some other changes.  Ixtapa was able to provide a custom glass shower per our requested specifications of partially obscured (middle 50% obscured, the top 25% and bottom 25% clear glass).

Jay and his crew did excellent work.  As other reviewers have stated, Jay is a master craftsman.  Jay and his Ixtapa crew handled everything from the demo, plumbing (installation of new shower drain with weep holes, etc), electrical (exhaust fan, led lights, gfci, etc), shower framing, multilayered waterproofing of shower, tile installation/grouting (shower, bathroom floor), installation of vanity & recessed medicine cabinet/mirror, installation of fixtures, drywall/trim/texture/paint, etc.  The only items/services subcontracted out by Ixtapa to different companies were the hot mopping of shower pan and the manufacturing/installation of the custom glass shower door.

A couple of small/minor issues after completion of the bathroom project were taken care of by Ixtapa.  The end result is fabulous!

We very much look forward to working with Ixtapa in the future with another project or potentially more than one project.

Thank you Alex and Jay!!!

We just bought our dream home and noticed this brown stuff coming out of the electric socket. We didn't know who to call but after searching message boards it was recommended that we call a general contractor. So this is how we met Dennis. He opened up the drywall and there was huge honeycomb with dead bees in the wall!! This was such a weird situation but Dennis took care of all of it. He cleaned it out and then one of his employees put back the dry wall and painted it seamlessly. Now its like nothing ever happen!! He did everything so timely that I'm still in awe and so happy its all over. Highly recommend Dennis and his team!! You really wont regret it!

Responded promptly and diagnosed an issue with a leaky pipe quickly. Very friendly and cleaned up well afterwards.

On time and on budget!  John and his team performed a significant amount of work in our new house.  They took out a bathtub and put in a shower for my aging mother in law, took the carpet off my stairs and put down wood, put in whole house water filter, 3 TV brackets, wiring for TV's, and ceiling fans. Very pleased with the way John's team performed.

Jorge did a most excellent job in replacing our old wooden fence with an attractive block wall.  I was impressed with his precision, thoroughness and professionalism. I highly recommend him.

Highly recommend.  Luis responded quickly to my request to correct my problem of the air gap hose getting frequently clogged. He did the work quickly and neatly. Very fair price.

Guy was very professional. I called him last minute around 9am and he answered. I needed to prepare for the heat wave and needed air conditioner installed. He knew exactly what to do and did it. I own a salon so I had him do some other little jobs. If you want great quality he is your man. He charges what he charges because it's gonna be done right. Also he's not flaky. He comes through. Love his van too! Super cool! Thanks guy for your help. Cooperative salon thanks you.

I have used McKeown Plumbing for 8 years and they have done several jobs for me with the utmost professionalism and on time service.  I just had a slab leak last month, and after 1 week of Service Master cleaning up the water damage, McKeown came out and did a full reroute of the cold water line.  They completed the work faster and 20% under the estimate the insurance company gave me.  I have had a great experience with them not just once, or twice, or three times but at least 6 or 7 times over the last 8 years.  Very happy, 6 Stars !!  They are local, they have been here for decades, and they are the ones I will always use.

I called Adam to fix a plumbing issue at my first home in Stanton. He did an excellent job at a very
affordable price. Since then he became my go to person for several projects. He is the best I could find for drywall and stucco repair. He also done door and windows installations for me. He not only beat a very competitive quote for the whole house painting but did a super job for which I got many compliments! Highly recommended!

Jay Wrubel oversaw our project and they did a fantastic job! We installed a patterned floor tile and a herringbone subway backsplash that had to be installed perfectly to look right. And they delivered! A few imperfections were fixed after the project was done and we love our new tiles! Thanks Jay!!

Danny replaced a toilet and vanity, painted and fixed an electrical issue we had and did a great job. He explained the electrical issue we had and what he was going to do to fix it and was able to finish all the work in just a few days. There's a reason why he has so many 5 star reviews. So if you're looking for a reliable handyman that takes pride in his work Danny is the person to call.

Needed some help finishing a small job at home that required dry wall, texture, and paint. Gomez showed up 2 days later and finished it all up in less than 7 hours!
