Maverick Home Remodeling, Inc.

    Quote 1

    "Maverick did a great job with my two bathrooms. Adam is very knowledgeable, gives a thorough and accurate estimate before beginning the job, runs a qualified detail oriented team and even helps with some of the design decisions. My house was well cared for and kept clean throughout the remodel and everyone was reliable and good to work with. The bathrooms are really wonderful, well worth the disruption inevitable in remodeling. I have full confidence in the quality of the work." — Susan Marino, Roxborough Park.

    Quote 2

    "I selected Maverick Home Remodeling, owned and operated by Adam Berlin, for a series of bathroom remodels in early 2014. This was my first experience with a contractor doing a job of this magnitude so I approached it cautiously, taking my time to interview several contractors and doing research on Angie’s List, Denver Home and Garden Show, The Better Business Bureau, and web searches.

    One thing that immediately impressed me with Maverick was their approach to estimating the amount of work required to do a job. Instead of giving me a “ballpark” number and a general description of what would be done, Adam prepared a series of quotes with the detail dependent on the stage of decision-making in the project. This culminated with a final firm quote that listed in detail all work to be performed, all parts to be installed, and a firm understanding that all additional work would be agreed to in writing and estimated separately, i.e. no hidden costs, no miscommunication, and no surprises.

    All bathrooms were a complete tear-out of existing cabinetry and fixtures. One basement bathroom required routing of new plumbing lines in a concrete floor, running a new electrical circuit, new venting, and a new floor plan including moving a wall. A new bathtub/shower with custom tile walls was installed along with a new toilet, cabinetry, mirror, lighting, fixtures, sink, new dry wall, painting, and a tile floor.

    The next bathroom was half-bath and required a new toilet, cabinetry, fixtures, lighting, a large basin sink, and a mirror. The last bathroom was the most work and consisted of removal of a wall, tear-out of an existing bathtub/shower and replacement with a custom walk-in shower, repair of floor tile, replacement of all fixtures including installation of a vessel sink, installation of a lighted mirror, general lighting, replacement of all cabinetry, and a new toilet.

    I am very satisfied with all of the work performed by Maverick. All work was done according to the quote and is of very high workmanship. Adam and his team put a lot of effort into working around my busy schedule, and took great care when working in my house to keep everything as clean as possible considering the amount and type of work being performed. All of his workers were very considerate of our home life and always let us know when they would be working and where.

    Adam is very responsive to all communication and returns email and phone calls promptly regardless of whether it is in the day, evening, or on weekends. He is very patient and clear when answering a wide range of questions about every stage of work, and Adam clearly communicated the schedule of events and worked diligently to minimize the impact to our home.

    I highly recommend Maverick Home Remodeling and Adam Berlin for all of your remodeling needs." — William Lynde, Stratford Lakes, Westminster."

Masters Kitchen & Bath

    Quote 1

    • "Going into this project we had general ideas of what we wanted in our new kitchen but we weren’t sure of the specifics. One thing that we really wanted (but weren’t sure how to achieve it) was to have more counter space and a more functional layout, both of which are tricky in a Georgian. I called 3 companies to come over for an in house consultation and heard three completely different ideas for how to re-imagine the room. Marc’s proposal was by far the best of the options we were presented. It was also the most expensive of the proposals, but we knew that we were looking for a quality kitchen remodel that would stand the test of time. Angel was very instrumental in our choice of flooring, cabinets, backsplash, handles, etc. (I even went back to have him help us choose the paint color). We ended up choosing a very different look than we had originally envisioned. Angel was very patient with us as we went through multiple options, and we are very happy with our final choice. The install process took the exact length of time that we were quoted (6 weeks) and was on budget. " - Christine T.

    • "During the initial meeting for bids, Marc, the general manager, was punctual, very friendly, listened to our requests, and made excellent suggestions on the spot as well. Once we decided to go with MKB, they were very helpful during the material selection process. Functionally, we knew what we wanted, but we had no idea how to select colors, styles, materials, and make them all look nice together. They have their own showroom, and an outstanding designer named Angel. He was able to help us find colors and materials that not only worked together, but matched our personal tastes as well. The whole project took 7-8 weeks. Alex, the primary builder for our bathroom, did excellent work. He and Marc were attentive and accommodating to our requests and questions during the process. What I liked most is that anytime an issue or question came up, I knew it would get resolved. The quality of the work was excellent, the communication and response from them was excellent. Remodeling any room is never easy, but I really felt MKB made it all as painless and worry-free as possible. We will definitely use them again for future projects. " - Michael G .

Skylight

  • "I contacted Skylight to remodel my master bathroom. I immediately appreciated how organized and upfront the process was, and how I could keep track of everything on a dedicated website. Choosing materials was facilitated by the designers' expert suggestions, and I found that process to be exciting and enjoyable. I appreciated how Skylight took care of everything from getting the permits from the city to keeping the different contractors on schedule. There was very good communication throughout the whole process, and best of all, I love my beautiful new bathroom. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for future remodeling projects." — Audrey C., Daly City, CA.

Mr Unger's Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling

  • "We had our kitchen remodeled with Mr. Unger from July-August 2019. The process was smooth and Dmitriy helps you along the way providing you with next steps to complete the project. His employees: Marcus, Nikolas and Anatoli were all amazing. Marcus did a wonderful job on demolition and replacing our electrical system. Nikolas and Anatoli then installed everything for our new kitchen. These guys are masters at what they do and they will complete the tasks requested of them expertly. I have no reservations about recommending Mr. Unger and his construction company to anyone looking to remodel a kitchen. I am very satisfied with their work. We had some other projects going on at the same time like popcorn ceiling removal and patio door replacement while Mr. Unger and his crew were remodeling and they were extremely accommodating and worked around these other projects. Everything worked out and our kitchen looks amazing!" — Christine L., San Jose, CA.
  • "Using Dmitriy's service to remodel our bathroom was the best decision we made. I talked to many contractors and Dmitriy stood out from the rest as someone who knew housing code inside and out and really understood our situation. The project was completed on the initial timeline we agreed to and the work quality was unbelievable. Karen was the one in our house almost daily and is one the nicest guys I've ever met. He really cared about making this room look good. He had an incredible attention to detail. The pictures really tell the story of how much effort Karen made to make this room look amazing. This was our first remodel and Dmitriy helped walked us through it. We had ideas of what he wanted and he would explain what each of them would entail, how some things we wanted could be a range of prices and he would explain all the options and give us choices. We even ran into trouble where some of our pieces we bought did not fit in the right spots, and Dmitriy went to the store for us and bought a similar item. Permits and inspections were a breeze. Dmitriy's honesty about the entire process, what we should expect, the price, and updating us throughout really made me sure there is no one better to do a remodel." — Jordan S. , San Mateo, CA.
