"I hired Apex American Homes here in Vista to refinish my kitchen and replace the countertops. I built this kitchen myself with my husband about 50 years ago, so keeping the original cabinet material was important to me. I just wanted everything refreshed and a new countertop. Igor was a pleasure to work with. He helped me pick the right materials while giving great advice on how to make the space more usable. His team didn’t just paint over the cabinets. They did everything the proper way, were very clean, punctual, and never cut corners. They even replaced all of the hinges for me. My kitchen looks so much better now and it brings back memories of when we first built it. Thank you for the wonderful work!"

"We wanted to get our 3 bathrooms redesigned and had a few plans in mind as far as design. After getting quotes from a few contractors, we decided to go with Royalty design & build. Their quote was very competitive and they were very professional. We wanted the work to be done as quickly as possible before our vacation in Europe. Lavi promised us that it will be done in 8 weeks and he kept his word. As the work began, we had some issues regarding structural, but Lavi was very efficient and worked around it to solve the issue and give us exactly what we had asked for. Even with the materials, Lavi made sure we got a good deal and also helped save some cost with his contractor license discounts. We got a great looking bathrooms and our friends loved it too. Would 100% recommend this awesome group!"

"We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The communication alone set them apart. Martha and the entire team were responsive, clear, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. The crew was professional, respectful, and kept the space clean throughout the remodel, which we truly appreciated. Their design options were incredibly modern and stylish; honestly, far more elevated than what we saw from larger chain competitors. They were also very cost-efficient without cutting corners, which is rare to find. The quality of the work, the attention to detail, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. If you?re looking for a remodeling company that combines great design, excellent communication, and real craftsmanship, Premier Home Remodeling is it."

"We recently hired Pen and Mason to expand our pantry, build a custom coffee bar, install new electrical outlets, and replace the carpet on our stairs with beautiful vinyl plank flooring — and we could not be happier with the results! From start to finish, their team was professional, friendly, and attentive to detail. They took the time to understand our vision, offered helpful suggestions, and executed the work flawlessly. The pantry expansion is so functional, the coffee bar is my new favorite spot in the house, and the new flooring completely transformed our stairs. They also handled the electrical work seamlessly, ensuring everything was up to code and perfectly placed and they also put up with my picky husband in the process."

"Marco and his team did a great job on my kitchen after I had a leak. They were highly professional in every way and I hope to hire them again. I'm sure they do great work everywhere, but I especially recommend them if you live in Poway, as they are close by."

"We are extremely happy with the high quality job completed by 1-Stop Contractors especially in their very competitive price. We have to say it was one of the best experiences we had on dealing with the contractors. They have maintained the timeline and budget precisely as promised and even extend their work to ensure our satisfaction. Kevin was honest and excellent communicator and successfully clarified all the details of the work in their contract and executed as he committed. We highly recommend 1-Stop Contractors among all other painters and contractors and we are sure we will be asking for next project to them again."

Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.
