Best Damage Restoration in Long Beach CA

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!!!

I've used them twice and will continue to always call them. I had a sink problem, that a plumber my landlord always uses fixed, and the issues never went away. I insisted on him giving this company a try. They're  fast, reliable, and an extremely honest company. I highly recommend you do business with them.

They also just installed a brand new furnace for me and the service on that has been amazing. They were very mindful of the rain and tried not to track in any mud/dirt.... It's little things like that- that add to an overall experience.

I called to make an appointment and they responded right away.They also were very thorough in what needed to be done to fix my leak problem properly!Thanks again,I'll definitely be recommending to my friends:)

I can't say enough wonderful things about Leo. I've already gave him a great review for some work he did on my house and on a rental property from roofing work, new fencing,  plumbing and everything in between. I am now giving him another fantastic review for the work he did on another rental property that needed a complete renovation. Basically the house needed to be complely upgraded. He was able to do it all. From replacing all the faucets, re- grouting the bathtub, shower and sinks, re-coating the bathtub and fixing all the broken drawers. He repaired all the interior and exterior cracks. He added a new front door, he replaced all the blinds, he fixed the kitchen bay window. He replaced the difficult light switches for one light go on and off from both switches. He fixed the heater. He did the cement work from the front stone area before the entry stairs that had a gap between that area and front yard. Plus the plumbing that went from the sump pump out to the front yard. He was able to do all these odd repairs with no problem. He explained everything that needed to be done. He provided pictures of the problems. He purchased all the item that were needed to do the job and provided the receipts. He went out of his way to get the job done and in a timely manner. He truly wanted to help anyway he could. Plus he was so pleasant to work with. To top if off his prices were reasonable. I can go on and on but it boils down to that I highly recommend Leo for anything you need done on your property. Thanks again Leo!!!

JV came and fixed our kitchen faucet promptly.  He was quick and efficient.  I would definitely reused him in the future and recommend to all friends and family

We don't have a plumber that we regularly use so I went onto Yelp & found Clean Out Plumbing & Rooter. I initially placed a call & spoke w/Marco who was courteous & scheduled for someone to come by Friday afternoon. Chris & his team showed up & found the problem. What started with a clogged tub & water leaking from under the toilet on Thursday night ended up being a much bigger issue- a main sewer line replacement.  They returned the next morning & got to work. Chris was very thorough & kept us informed of everything that was going on. They found another issue while working & we decided to get that taken care of as well - main line clean-out installation. The team was puntual, ready to work & had great work ethic. The day was long but they finished the job. We are very appreciative for their hard work & we will be recommending them to neighbors, family & friends. Thanks guys for all your help.

This is the first time that I've used RS3M Construction. We needed our residential backflow device tested. RS3M came to my rescue! After another company had our paperwork for six weeks, they never tested our device! I had one day left, until the due date for the test to be completed. Ricardo responded to my request within 2 hours. He scheduled his technicians to come out the next day (in the morning) to test our backflow device.  He told me what the price would be, so there would be no surprises. This company communicates the entire time, so you know exactly what is going on.  They are on time too! They even called me to let me know that the report was submitted to the city.  These are awesome people. My faith in people has been restored!

Made a call to Get Rapid Restoration and spoke with Mr. Ronald. I told him I had a leak coming from my shut off valve. He was very helpful and determined to get to the bottom of the issue. He asked if I could send over a few photos and gave me his expert opinion that I needed a new faucet. Also that I should replace the lines as well underneath because water damage occurred. So I went and picked one up that evening. He came out to my house the following morning. He was very professional. He was upbeat and friendly during his time there. He replaced everything fast and efficiently. Most importantly he assured me that i wouldn't have anymore problems.

I recommend Get Rapid Restoration to anyone in need of plumbing... look forward to quality work done professionally.

Very professional service and dedicated to determining the cause of the leak. Love that they show up with a plumber who then can fix the leak immediately. They also recommended a great restoration company. I wish my insurance company would move as fast as Sherlock leak detection, the plumber and the restoration company. The whole process started November 23 and it's still not finished to this day on December 14. Highly recommend Sherlock leak detection services!

I wanted to thank Plumbing Squad, especially Manny Jr. for his ethical standards, his knowledge, skills and professionalism that go above and beyond an individual obligations.  It is in my opinion Plumbing squad does a great job and has high standards and moral values.  Manny Jr. has demonstrated to meet competency standards, good planning skills, knowledge of the work and provides a friendly pleasant atmosphere.  Thank you, Manny Jr.

I owned my home in Costa Mesa for over 10 years and used Tweedy Plumbing on numerous occasions.  The plumbers were always very friendly, respectful and professional.  I never felt like i was being given the run around or being over charged.  They were on time and I never had a problem with any work they did.  I was always very satisfied. Great local family business!
