My project isn't finished yet (expected to wrap up next week), but I'm moved to give this company a glowing review for their work on my condo ahead of time. I don't expect anything to change at this point since we've been through many unexpected challenges with my project and their team has outperformed my expectations every time. First off, Tom is not an email sort of guy so if your favorite form of communications is emailing, write Tina instead. That said, Tom answered every of my phone calls and is great at what he does, which was coordinating and leading my remodel to completion. He has fulfilled every promise he made to me so far. Despite my living in Orange County and my daughter's condo being in L.A., besides a quick trip to check out the improvements weekly, I've never had to push or complain to get results. Unfortunately, my project ended up being delayed by a month due to unforeseen circumstances. I almost got embroiled in a dispute with the condo's Association over plumbing issues that had threatened to derail my kitchen and bath remodeling. I'm so glad I've got CMS Builders and Restoration on my side because without their expertise, I wouldn't have the confidence to challenge the Association and get them to admit the faulty repipe they did some years ago was actually what made us fail inspection and not our remodeling at the condo. The City Inspector ended up forcing the Association to bring their plumbing up to code before allowing us to close the bathroom walls and proceed with our work. At this point, we're poised to install plumbing fixtures as soon as we hear from the City Inspector by day's end. I'm really happy that I chose CMS Builders and Restoration and not some fly-by-night companies who said they'd beat any quote. I've had my share of troubles with shoddy work by unlicensed contractors before, so I'm confident to say I've chosen well this time. I'm also happy about my decision not to parcel out the work separately to an electrician, a plumber, flooring installer, etc. in order to "save" money, but to allow a general contractor take care of the project from start to finish. Tom's subs are friendly, helpful and capable. They did top-notch work for me. I'm so proud of how my daughter's condo is shaping up. Whatever difference between Tom's quote and others I've been given was totally worth it. I must admit the cabinets and countertops at my daughter's condo are more beautiful and of a higher quality than what I have in my million-dollar home. I can say much more but to sum up, if you have a condo in L.A. that needs improvements, let CMS Builders and Restoration handle the job. They will get the necessary permits, have the job pass inspection, deal with the Association, and save you the headaches.
