"We recently wrapped up a two bathroom renovation with Geico Builders and the end result speaks for itself! I just took a shower in one of our new bathrooms and it was like going to a fancy spa or hotel. I could not have envisioned it this great at the start, it has completely transformed our home. Feels almost unreal to have such beautiful, high end rooms in our home now! I had never done a remodel before and had barely posted the job on Angie’s list when Mila reached out and set the standard for what a consultation could be like. She had ideas for what could be done and David was nearby with his crew and could take a quick look so I got a brief feel for their teamwork. I talked with 5 groups in person and this team had a great cost/value balance and were willing to help me customize it how I wanted. Mila told me about their 3D design option and that reminded me that I do something somewhat similar for my job, so I mocked up the space in Maya and designed out several options that Mila looked through and helped me narrow down. Printouts of those posted on a wall at the job site really helped keep everyone on the same page. David’s attitude on the job was wonderful to be around, he values his team and is so positive. His crew worked fast and I had to hustle to keep up to order the materials in time. Both he and Mila went tile shopping with me and were a big help. There are so many options! If I were to go back I would have spent time picking out the exact pieces I wanted from the store we went with rather than done delivery—natural stone has huge variations so I was surprised by some of the tile when it came. The team was so fast that some of the stone had gone up before I saw it and several pieces were too dark. They were very understanding of the issue and fixed it when I brought pieces that were more representative of what we selected in the store. They consistently proved how trustworthy they were and backed up what they said from the beginning: that they were here for me, had my back and wanted me to be happy with the final product! Whenever I had a request or wasn’t sure with how something was coming together they took the time to walk me through it, listen to my perspective and shift if it made sense and would make me more confident in the process. I truly appreciated each time they double checked with me for my opinion and noticed when something was off! (For example, I had picked two grout colors thinking one was whitish and the other grey when in reality they were both almost the same in color! The crew caught it and I was able to get the right one quickly.) It was a huge collaboration, I’ll admit I wasn’t aware how much if my time researching and being available would be needed at first. It has been a steep learning curve but Mila and David were there for me. (Probably didn’t help that I designed and built some of the furniture to fit the space on the time investment side, but it paid off) Thank you Geico Builders for the stunning bathrooms! Your team’s work ethic, perseverance and expertise has been so appreciated!"

"I was looking for contractors in the area but everyone was quoting high and looking for huge jobs. When I did get a response from some contractors I received timelines that were ridiculous. I used HomeAdvisor and I was referred to this Arenas Masonry. They were responsive, on time, and provided a professional estimate. They ordered the specific stone I wanted for our new backyard steps. They tore down an old ugly deck and replace it with gorgeous stone. It has extended our living space and improved the site line of our backyard. We are so happy with the results. My experience getting quotes from using local recommendations and other sources did not pan out. I was shocked by the unprofessional behavior of some including those who did not show up or did not provide an estimate even when I asked multiple times. This contractor showed up quietly, professionally and did what they promised to do. They finished the job on the day promised at the price they quoted and it looks fantastic!"

"Working with the team at Pavers Express was super easy and we are so pleased with our end product! They helped us come up with a plan for both our front and back yards. We have two little boys and wanted to rearrange our backyard. We worked together to come up with a plan for a new bluestone patio with fire-it (which we use ALL the time!), turf for the kids to play and a place to grow our veggies. We spend so much more time outside now! They also did our entire front yard. We extended our driveway to make it bigger so the car doors don't hit each other. We love the pavers and it instantly elevated the look of our home. They were able to run piping for irrigation and did turf in the front of our home. My favorite part of it all are the blue stone stepping stones up to our front door. we now have a modern house with VERY little maintenance. We are so happy with their work and we love our outdoor space!"

To refresh your living room without overspending, focus on cost-effective projects that enhance style and function. Start with simple DIY tasks like painting walls and adding new window treatments. For more complex living room remodeling updates, establishing your budget with a professional general contractor will help your project stay on track.
Remodeling a living room is generally less intensive than updating a kitchen or bathroom, which often involves complex electrical, plumbing, and structural work. Living room projects typically focus on aesthetic and functional improvements that can have a significant impact without extensive renovations. This means living room upgrades often cost less and require less labor, making them a cost-effective way to enhance your home's overall appeal.
