123 Remodeling Inc.
Civil Engineers & General Contractors in Lake Forest.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 September 2013
“If you are looking for great customer service (exceeding expectations in my experience), and high quality work being done on your place within or before a projected deadline, 123 remodeling is the company to go with and here are a few examples of why. After moving forward with 123, a project manager Ariel picked me up and helped me shop for both of my bathroom remodels, providing helpful advice based on his experience but still totally respecting my personal style. We found everything I needed within a couple hours and he was also able to get my an amazing discount on everything purchased. He then picked me up a second time to help me find tiles for my bathroom backsplash which was still unfinished from my previous nightmare remodeling experience even though 123 wasn't even contracted to work on my kitchen so this was extremely nice of him and definitely not in the contract. Aside from the project management, the actual worker bee was amazing. He showed up every single day out of about 30 work days except one 1 (because of car trouble) and worked straight from 8 to 4 (the hours my building allows you to work) barely breaking for lunch. When he did break though, he hung out with our Dog and was always very nice and loving to him which we appreciated :). His work was impeccable. There were a few things we added on at the end or asked to be changed that 123 did without adding any costs or giving us any grief. Yes, the project cost was expensive BUT I got quotes from 2 other companies that came in right at the same price or higher so 123 is definitely comparable to any other remodeling company that provides professional, high quality service and work. If your priority is having a positive, stress free remodeling experience, where you need some advice and help picking out material, go with 123. You will not regret it. I spent 9 months in a horrible kitchen remodeling nightmare because I tried to go with someone who could not be held accountable for failing to deliver on what we had discussed and I ended up spending twice as much in the end and having to wait 9 months for my kitchen to be finished. If I could go back, I would hire 123 again without a second thought. Could not recommend them more. Enjoy!”

“They were the builders for our dream home. They were considerate and worked with us every step of the build. They kept us informed about any changes promptly. They completed out home in the time frame they provided us in the beginning. We would use them again.”

HX Home Solutions and North Star Stone
Civil Engineers & General Contractors in Lake Forest.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 June 2012
“We hired North Star Stone to help refinish our fireplace last month and couldn't be happier. Alan and his crew were on time, fast and ready to accommodate all of our requests. The room looks like a brand new room- we spend so much time in our living room now, whereas before we avoided going in there. The work is beautiful and has added a warmth to our home (No pun intended!). We are looking forward to winter sitting by our new fireplace! We would definitely recommend North Star Stone to any of our friends and family.”
