"The Chriswell staff did an outstanding job completing the remodel."

We had a new large sliding glass door installed that replaced an original single pane window and exterior back door. The installation required new framing, drywall repair, and stucco repair. The Chriswell staff did an outstanding job completing the remodel. Their drywall and stucco man (Luis) did a fantastic job matching the stucco and drywall repair to the original texturing. This was a job well done.

"Once everything was completed we were very satisfied. We only had a few spots that needed to be re-sanded and repainted."

Chriswell Home Improvement found us when project manager Dave Vanni knocked on our door over a year ago. We were in desperate need of dry rot removal and exterior painting.  After a well prepared presentation and Q & A session my husband and I decided to commit.  Though the paint product (Coolwall) was on the pricey side we're very pleased now that everything's said and done.  
    The dry rot team did a great job removing and repairing various spots. Prior to painting my husband located a few additional areas of concern. The crew came out and replaced everything a day before painters started taping off.  Due to a few days of rain and threat of rain the project took more days than expected.  However Dave's communication was excellent and kept us apprised of the crew's schedule and progress.
     Once everything was completed we were very satisfied. We only had a few spots that needed to be re-sanded and repainted. The only negative was the left over white paint was capped off with a black paint lid turning the contents grey. We contacted Dave and he was out with a new can of paint within a few days.  Huge thanks to Dave for staying on top of things and all the detail oriented work done by the crews with Chriswell!

"They were in constant contact with progress reports, and always contacted me the day before contractors would be out."

Chriswell Home Improvements replaced my roof, installed gutters, and dealt with extensive dry rot in the eves, porches, and carport. Great company to work with. They were in constant contact with progress reports, and always contacted me the day before contractors would be out. Job was schedule to start in November, then of course CA got three months of rain! Natasha called me weekly, during this time with updates. Natasha was on top of everything to do with my project, and if you are working with Chriswell hopefully she'll be your project manager too.

"We can't say enough wonderful things about Chriswell Home Improvements."

We are in love with our new bathroom! We can't say enough wonderful things about Chriswell Home Improvements. Belmin was a joy to work with when we were deciding what we wanted. Sophia, in the office, is wonderful. We feel like we got the best team ever with Suarlin and Angel. They made our bathroom beautiful. Their work is meticulous and they kept us informed every step of the way. We can't wait for Suarlin and Angel to start on our Master Bathroom!

"Sam came out. He was so professional, courteous, and informative."

So, I haven't hired them yet. But I give them 5 stars for customer service. Sam came out. He was so professional, courteous, and informative. Not only am I considering them for the siding job, but also for new windows and my kitchen remodel. I will follow up if I decide to hire and will advise about their work! Give them a chance!

"They did a fantastic job on my she shed-Installing new windows, door, siding and electrical work. They were professional, worked relentlessly all day, and had the best personalities to work with!"

I wanted to give a very big thank you to Brian Baker and his team-Steve Lee, Chris.C, Collin and Luis! They did a fantastic job on my shed-Installing new windows, door, siding, and electrical work. They were professional, worked relentlessly all day, and had the best personalities to work with! They all truly enjoyed doing their job which I really enjoyed having them on my property. They left the worksite every evening immaculate. Which was really important to me because I have pets. I am one very happy customer and glad I went with Chriswell home improvements!

"Dave Vanni the Area Manager stopped by our house to offer his services because our was in need of new paint job."

Dave Vanni the Area Manager stopped by our house to offer his services because our was in need of new paint job. Dave was extremely thorough in his presentation of how the coating and type of paint used for the process. He sat down with my wife and I to discuss the process and I was amazed of his before and after picture of his recent projects. Dave was extremely patient and once we gave him and his team the green light he completed the project in a week time frame as he promised. We were very satisfied with the customer service and also the outcome of the paint job. we practically have a brand new house. Dave was on time everyday and gave updates on the project throughout the day. His team was organized, professional and worked efficient to finish the project on time. I recommend using his services and would give this rating 10 stars if I could.

Cheers,

"Dave the sales rep and project manager and Brandon the site supervisor, were a pleasure to work with. Brandon, was extremely diligent and flexible during the project."

We had our house painted a few months ago by Chriswell. Dave the sales rep and project manager and Brandon the site supervisor, were a pleasure to work with. Brandon, was extremely diligent and flexible during the project. For example there were bulky items affixed to our house left by the previous owners (satellite dish, wiring, etc.) they removed at our request. Also, our house was being painted around the time of the Camp Fire. The air quality was hazardous, yet his team worked late to ensure that the painting could be completed before the Thanksgiving holiday.

I do have to admit that the cost is high for painting. Only time will tell if it was worth it. However, one thing that is certain is that Dave and Brandon do take customer service and satisfaction seriously.

"We are so pleased that Dave Vanni stopped by when he saw how our house was in need of a paint job. Even though we typically don't meet with salespeople who seek us out, we agreed to meet with him to discuss his paint product and the process of applying."

We are so pleased that Dave Vanni stopped by when he saw how our house was in need of a paint job. Even though we typically don't meet with salespeople who seek us out, we agreed to meet with him to discuss his paint product and the process of applying it, due to his sales presence. He took us to various houses in our area to show us windows, what the Tex-cote looked like after it was applied, and house colors. He was very thorough in discussing the product and the process and answering questions. After meeting with him and hearing his passion for the product and what he does, we signed the contract despite the quote being higher than what we had hoped to pay for a paint job. But we are so glad we did!

Dave had his window crew replace 3 windows upstairs; done in a timely and professional manner. He called to let us know when the crew would be coming and also came while the crew was here. The paint crew came through a week later, pressure washing, scraping, sanding and replacing dry rot before applying primer and the Tex-Cote product. They were professional, thorough and paid attention to detail. During the whole process, Dave came by every day to check on the progress and check in with us to show/describe the progress, review the timeline and see if we had any questions. Whenever we noticed something that needed attention, he addressed it with the painters and the issue was taken care of immediately.

On the last day, the painters picked up their equipment and cleaned the area, leaving it better than they found it.

While I love my paint job, and multiple neighbors have already commented on it, I'm not sure I would have purchased this had it not been for Dave. He is a true professional salesperson; passionate and knowledgeable about his profession, and very personable. If he comes knocking on your door, take him up on the offer. They do an incredible job and the product sells itself.

I highly recommend Chriswell Home Improvement.

"If I could summarize my experience with Chriswell Home Improvements in three words, it would be "pride in workmanship.""

If I could summarize my experience with Chriswell Home Improvements in three words, it would be "pride in workmanship." This is not my first experience with a remodeling contractor but it is by far my best. My last foray into this type of project was a kitchen remodel in 2015. I will not detract from this positive review to talk about that experience other than saying I wish I had used Chriswell rather than "the Kmart of Kitchen renovations." You can always look up that review on Yelp.
Our bathroom renovation was by no means a standard project. We were combining a half bath with a full bath to create a single bathroom. The half bath was original to the house (1954) while the full bath that shared a wall with the half bath, was built, by the prior owners as part of a remodel in the 1970s. Let's just say the full bath had its quirks,including the 21" wide entry door located behind the kitchen table. No guest ever wanted to use it.
When we decided to remodel, I had serious reservations about using another generic remodeling company found at a home show rather than a general contractor who would bring in subcontractors where needed. We ended up talking to Chriswell at a home show to get an idea of what we would be facing and due to the uncertainty of the times/economy, we decided to lock in with them. I will say now that it was one of the best decisions we could have made. It started with meeting Eric, the superintendent who walked through the project with me but continued through the entire crew beginning with Gil, the foreman and Derek, the point person and main guy on the job along with Gil.
Now that the description of the project is finished, let me get back to my first statement about Chriswell's employees, that is "pride in workmanship. I'll start with Derek. He handled most of the demolition and with Gil, the installation of the new sheetrock, moving the heater duct, installing the vent fan and the patching of the paneling on the dining room side. Several times, beginning with Derek's insistence that he had to complete the taping and texturing of the new sheetrock because he was concerned that the switch in the middle of the job would be evident in the difference in technique. A better example, however, was after the new recessed lights were installed by Daniel, the electrician. I had noticed that they were connected to the wrong switch (hooked in with the vanity lights instead of the ceiling fan light). Before I could even say anything, when Derek came in the next morning, he had removed a section of the ceiling to rewire the lights because it did not seem right to him.
    When it came to the paneling, both Gil and Derek said that they did not like the options to patch the door opening. There was no way to match the 1970s (as it turned out made in Japan) paneling. They said it just would not look right and they would prefer to replace the entire wall. We discussed it and decided to match the bead board that is on the kitchen side of the dining room.
These are just two examples of many. I'll continue with Gil. As he was finishing the bead board, he did not like how the last piece would look because he would have to patch two pieces together. Instead, he bought a second sheet so I would not have a horizontal seam in the center of the piece even though it was in the corner and only about two feet wide. When they installed my vanity and sink, the stopper provided with the faucet would not work so Gil purchased one that worked but it was a push button style, making the pull bar on faucet non-functional. Isaiah, the plumber added a nut to the underside of the pull stop so it could not be accidentally pulled out. Again, because it would not have looked right if that piece was removed. As long as I'm talking about Isaiah, I wanted to mention that his first day on the job, he noticed I had paint brushes drying by my utility sink in the garage. He made a point of telling my wife that I shouldn' not wash my brushes in the sink because he's seen plumbing issues from that.

The other two workers who stood out with their commitment to their jobs were Matt, the tile installer and Luis, the texturer . When I was looking at the shower, Matt said, "when I finish the job, I don't want anyone to have to come back to fix something." That stood out to me. Luis came in to finish the texturing. He didn't have time to finish the Friday he came so he asked if he could come Saturday to finish.  It reflected the whole company's commitment to finish the job without cutting corners.

I will end the final walkthrough and the finish work. Eric came over for the final. I pointed out that I was not satisfied with the height of the light fixture and the location of the mirror. They were a little low and off-center. I said if there was an issue with moving the fixture, I could live with it, but I wanted the mirror raised and centered on the sink instead of the fixture. Eric said I shouldn't settle for anything, they'll fix it.

"My husband and I are so pleased with the painting of the exterior of our house performed by Chriswell Home Improvements."

My husband and I are so pleased with the painting of the exterior of our house performed by Chriswell Home Improvements. Dave Vanni, the Area Manager, was the ultimate professional, explaining the process very clearly and thoroughly to us beforehand and exhibiting great patience while we chose colors. He was at our house every day of the painting process to ensure that the work was being done properly. The crew were polite and efficient and worked to ensure minimum inconvenience to us. We would not hesitate to use this company again for other home improvement projects.
