Ocean Remodeling

he started out good. resolved issues in the end. not much else to say about it. average work. average. a

We were impressed with our initial meeting with Kobi and Jen. The price was reasonable, and they assured us they would be able to meet our completion deadline, as we had out-of-town guests coming to stay. The first day the crew came, they demolished everything rather quickly. The crew was cordial and friendly. However, their work was subpar, sloppy, and rushed. We chose hexagon tile for the shower. The day they installed the tile, the cuts at the corners were misaligned, they didn't use the correct mortar, and tiles started sagging and falling off the walls. We had to scrap our original idea- we now had one shower wall with hexagons, and the other two with subway tile. Throughout the renovation, I constantly had to call to find out if the crew was planning to show up that day. Sometimes they would come in the morning. Other times they would come in the afternoon. Sometimes they wouldn't come at all. Bear in mind, we had to have everything finished by December 15, which they assured they could do. We made several concessions with tiles and other materials because of delays out of everyone’s control, which was easy enough to deal with. As the deadline approached, it seemed that they were becoming more and more careless. After overshooting the deadline by a week, the crew came in one last time, did some work, and left without a word. We found sloppy work all over. The floor was not level, and it was over-grouted in many spots, especially the corners. Paint was poorly cut along the ceiling line. There was dirt on a brand-new marble shower curb. Tiles were cracked, misaligned, or missing. The shower drain was an absolute mess. They cut the hole too large, and filled it in with grout. You can see where they cut too far. When we went over the punch list with Kobi and Jen, they said that all that was needed was some black grout and it would look fine. It doesn't. It stands out like a sore thumb. Before the walls were painted, they were sanded. However, they were not cleaned, and the gallon of paint we purchased ended up going to waste, as none of it would stick. When they installed the casing around the doors, rather than remove the barcode, they painted over it. They dripped paint on the floor, painted the casing halfway, and even painted over the trim around the exterior of the cabana door, which had been painted a year ago. They made good on fixing the atrocious shower drain, and did their best to clean up some of the grout. We had guests coming, and we needed a working bathroom. We got one, just not as nice as we were hoping. The floor is still terrible. The new team that came in, took one look, and said it all needs to be ripped up, but were told to fix only “5 or 6 tiles.” That is a waste of everyone’s time. If I had people working for me doing subpar work, I would take the hit- even if it meant that I lost money in the end.

I am a designer and I work with contractors everyday with all different personalities. Kobi and Jenny are BY FAR the most professional and easiest I have ever worked with. I like them so much I am having them do my own home renovation! I can't say enough about these two-when I have the opportunity to bring contractors in on a job I always call Oceans Remodeling.

When I bought my home it needed a lot of renovation done! Ocean remodeling is an amazing partner to have on this journey to my dream house! We completed the kitchen project with them and were beyond happy with the results! We are already planning our next big project and they will 100% be our only choice. You won't need to shop around again once you meet them...
