CALbath Renovations

I would like to start my review by referencing the below summary of our project. Our bathrooms are small by normal comparison, so I did not anticipate such a poor renovation. Unfortunately, it was not a good experience and when communicated to CalBath and one of the owners (Dan) there was little effort made to indicate that they even really cared. We were offered a $500 discount. You get what you pay for I guess. I recommend exploring other bath renovation experts, but if you end up going with CalBath pay close attention to all the details, review all the workmanship and don't be surprised by delays or staff shortages. Good Luck on your Project. Project start date of February 24th, hall bath. Our project just concluded July 11th, with the cabinet faces and hardware installed in our primary bath (i.e. almost 5 months). Our original tech had an injury and this did play a part in the delay. However, it took about a week for a new tech to come out to start back up and the Ops Coordinator told me they were short staffed. In addition, the primary bath received the wrong faces multiple times and ordering took on more delays. However, I was surprised at the supplier's lead times, shipment mistakes and at how impacting the injury was to staffing shortages. Furthermore, here are summaries of the project in our experiences. Hall Bath The first issue was with the tile subcontractors in the hall bath. Sloppy workmanship (i.e. unlevel tiles, slightly inconsistent grout lines, cracked tile in the middle of the floor, chipped tile by the tub, transition strip off) Baseboard not mitered, square cuts. Off Center vanity cabinet handles. Mirror hung off center. Primary Bath Primary bath tile had better workmanship, but on the first day, all 3 of the workers went #2 in our newly remodeled hall bath and put used toilet paper in the trash can. Electrical outlets positioned vertically with close proximity to back splash and medicine cabinet, resulting in limited and restricting plug and outlet availability (i.e. we can't plug-in any cords with a lower wire). Electrician wired the mirror outlet apprx. 12 inches from the ceiling instead of in the center of the wall (I assume this was an easy way for him and he did not have to run the extra wire, even though the wall was a little open already). This ended interfering with mounting the mirror at the level that we would have liked it initially. However, we are fine living with it as is. Left corner of the shower entry was not finished and needed wall repair and a corner guard placed after further discussions. Wall repair is uneven. No caulking around door casing medicine cabinet and sides of the vanity cabinet. Visible nail holes around the door casing. Vanity faces incorrect from manufacturer. Order placed to replace repeatedly.

CALbath was excellent for the remodel of my kitchen! In every way they were professional, proficient, helpful, on-time, on-budget and respectful of the difficulties of remodeling. When other subcontractors (plumbers) could not figure out how to complete the job, CALbath made sure it was done and done right! I am so grateful for their help, guidance and for the fact that we hired them.
