Crest Home Remodeling

BEWARE OF CREST HOME REMODELING! THE WORST COMPANY EVER!
BAD BAD BAD DID I MENTION HOW BAD THEY ARE? REALLY REALLY BAD!
I hired Crest Home Remodeling last year for a bathroom remodel. I made the HUGE mistake hiring such a third rate company. I typed all details of the contract myself to make sure everything discussed was covered. Even their contract that basically was my name, which I filled in. When the work started it was one problem after another. They sent out their Quality Control staff with cameras and took lots of photos of problems. Each step of the way the work was BAD BAD BAD!!! In addition to poor work the employees NEVER showed up when they said they were coming. One Sunday they requested to work. I waited over 2 hours. No one ever came. The cabinet hinges and rollers kept falling off. After they tried to fix the problem twice I finally hired another company to come and replace all interior hinges. It is now just over a year. My cabinets are chipping. AGAIN, the quality guy came out. I told him the cabinets need to be repainted or the problem will continue. I am now being told they will just touch up the chips. Shouldn’t a new painted cabinet last more than 1 year? I am an adult, no kids use this bathroom. I am very careful and still chipped paint!!!
I told the office I hate dealing with them and their lack of professionalism.
If you like dealing with flakes, who do VERY VERY POOR WORK… You will love this company.
My next call will not be Crest Home Remodeling, it will be the contractors board.
BAD BAD LOW LEVEL WORK WITH STUPID IDIOTS RUNNING THE COMPANY!!! STAY CLEAR OF CREST HOME REMODELING.

Beware. I can not review this company for work done, but I am so disturbed at their sales approach that I have to add my comment to the others. Got a cold call from a wireless phone in the 510 area – someone named «Toby» claiming to be with «A Plus California Builders» and saying he talked to the spouse the other day and was following up. (Spouse denies ever speaking to these people.) I was then switched to a very pleasant woman who told me the company was «Crest Home Remodeling,» that they had a website, were bonded and licensed, on Angie’s List, etc. She tried to schedule a meeting for a «free estimate» immediately.
Well.
is not an active domain name. A Plus Builders appears to be a call center that tries to drum up work for contractors (you can Google it). Can’t access Angie’s List, so I have no idea what those reviews say. I do see a link to
, which has a toll-​free number, though not the one the woman gave me.
All in all, a high-​pressure approach from unknown people. This is definitely not how I plan to find a trusted contractor.

Would have given this company a BIG FAT ZERO star!
Called this company and sent all my specs requirements for what was advertised as a free home inspection and estimate.
They were aggressive and wanted to know if both wife and I will be available on Sunday for the estimate quotation. They emphasize the point of having BOTH wife and I available to do the estimate. I asked and was affirmed that the estimate would be a written one and free. I told them that I would be sending them docs on the job scope and did so.
Then this company realized that that this was not going to be an easy psycho-​and-​convince estimate appointment, because they would be competing with other companies I had called for quotes since the City required at least 3 quotes for the job. They called on Sunday morning — same day of the appointment — and said that I had to pay $ 300 for the so-​called «written estimate.»
Huh? Does it mean that this company only gives out VERBAL estimates? Why didn’t they tell me earlier and why they assured me that estimates would be written when I first called? All they need is to fill the blanks on the form with a $$$ amount for every job described on the bid document I supplied from the City. They do not even have to write a single sentence on what needed to be done as these were all fully and carefully described on my spec document!
I said «No» to their request for $ 300 and they said «Then I wish you good luck!» Well good riddance to you too!
Apparently this company is hoping to pressure husband and wife during their so-​called «estimate» appointment to sign in their contract immediately.
BEWARE of such quotation tactics that basically tried to pressure you to sign any contract on the spot! You maybe falling into a money pit and into their pressure tactic traps without getting comparative estimates from other contractors and an analytical cooling down period after their in-​your-​face sales pitch and «estimate.»
Real shady operation if you ask me… and like the previous reviewer said, I would dread to feel the grief from this company given such «work estimation» tactics!

For some reason ny review got lost. pretty sure i submit oneweek ago

Thank you sean/​crest.

Did not get past first base with me. Schedule an appointment to give an estimate, call and ask to come 2 hours later since prior appt ran too long. Ok, not a problem. Call back 2 hours later and ask if we can come 2 hours from now since next appt ran too long. Really? Ok, fine. They show up 3 hours later, not the best first impression but willing to give the benefit of the doubt. The person Crest sent was polite, and competent but things went sideways quickly once it came down to pricing.
Random notes scribbled on a pad of paper and then «Total cost will be x», when can we start? I need an answer right now.” No breakdown of labor vs materials; there were going to be 4 different jobs within my home. No breakdown of each job, nothing. One price, nothing formal, no bid, no contract, etc. Just here is the total price, I need you to commit right now.
When I would not commit right then and there it was «Ok, thanks. Can you show me the way out?» WTF kind of contractor expects anyone to commit to doing business with no formal bid, contract, breakdown of costs, timeframe for completion of work, etc??? I politely asked for him to send me an email with their formal bid for the work and I would get back to him promptly. What do I get? A phone call from one of their salespeople asking when they can start? I explained the situation and that I was still waiting on them to provide something in writing. Response? «Oh, ok nice to speak with you and I am sure we will get back to you» No one ever got back to me. I hate to judge anyone on one experience, but given how shady their sales pitch was, I do not want to know what their work product looks like.
