Project:
Remodel or Renovate One or More Rooms
I found DECA on HomeAdvisor while searching for a contractor to price out painting my new condo. Carlos from DECA was prompt and came out that week to give me an estimate. What I didn't realize was that Carlos and his team were also full scale remodelers doing flooring, plumbing, electrical (new outlets, ceiling fans, pendant lights, etc.) in addition to painting.
I got estimates from 6 firms, and it made the most sense to proceed with Carlos and his team since they could do everything I needed done, within a very short 2-3 week time period. I also thought their estimate was very fair and in line with the others. Plus, his thought process was def aligned with the things I wanted to do, and I got the vibe he would be a good fit for this project.
This was my first condo purchase and remodel, and needless to say, we have all heard the stories of contractors that donâÂÂt show up, do sloppy work, go way over budget, or disappear after getting some money. I am here to tell you, Carlos and his team at DECA were great from beginning to end. They were there to get the job done, and any issue or questions I had along the way, Carlos was happy to answer or solve, in person or via text. He was also very prompt in all communications.
DECA painted my entire place, from doors, to walls & ceilings, and all vents, ripped up and redid my kitchen and bathroom floors, installed a new toilet, bathroom vanity, regrouted my tub, installed ceiling fans, pendant lights, redid my island and counter tops complete with an under mounted sink, and even helped me turn my coat closet into a cocktail/bar closet by removing the door, installing my wine fridge (where he ran new electric for), a quartz countertop (cut from the larger slab I used in kitchen) and painted the interior as I described to him.
If they ever had a question or concern, Carlos would text or call me for clarification. I consider myself VERY lucky to have made the right decision in the project. All of his 5 star reviews on this site are legit and well-deserved. I am more than thrilled with the results of his work and would not hesitate to use him in the future. If you are looking for a contractor you can trust, DECA is the place.
It's the little things:
The last day, as Carlos was finishing up some minor things, I was bumbling around trying to change out the locks on my front doorhe noticed I'm not great at anything involving tools, and quickly took over and did it for me.
I had some extra materials to take back for a refund at Floor & Decorhe stopped what he was doing, and grabbed boxes of tile, and helped me load them to my car without me asking.
Cleaned the place after done -- enough that I could move in without having to worry about it.
I had a screen from one of the bedroom windows sitting on the floor, and they popped it into place for me mentioning.
Thanks Carlos!
