Schwalb Builders and Sean Schwalb and his afther Avi Schwalb are crooks. Schwalb will reassure you he can do the job, take your money, ruin your home and leave you with nothing! Our home has been red-tagged by the Denver Building Department because of their shoddy work. Schwalb has 20 Colorado lawsuits filed against him and his company. My husband and I have also filed a civil lawsuit and have had our story air on both Denver Channel 9 and Channel 7 news. Please watch our stories. DO NOT HIRE SCHWALB. The large majority of positive reviews are fake. https://www.denver7.com/news/investigations/ruined-customers-take-on-schwalb-builders-after-unpermitted-remodel https://www.9news.com/amp/article/news/local/next/next-with-kyle-clark/unfinished-homes-leave-homeowners-at-odds-with-contractor/73-9a794f06-97dd-459b-9897-1d4264bf5000

Horrible company, do not hire! Multiple bbb complaints and they dont complete work. I had them remodel 2 bathrooms for me. They left the house messy and the bathrooms incomplete. Instead of properly grouting tile, they just put caulking on it and it is all coming up. Tiles cracking and they didnt repair it. They also didnt properly tighten the faucet handles and they are all loose. They have in the contract that they have a one-year guarantee work, yet they fight with you and dont come and repair the items. They also do bait switches. One crack contractor came in to quote me along with a designer they have. Then the day before that they were supposed to come out, the contractor was no longer with the company and they were sending someone else out. Then they started saying that there were additional charges that they needed to do based on the work of what the designer laid out for us that we discussed before the contract was signed. They also changed shower doors on us. Do not use!

Kitchen Remodel
Our experience with Schwalb Builders was straight out of a nightmare. We were told our kitchen renovation would take 4 months to complete. 14 months later, after NO work had been done and wasn't even close to being started, we cut ties with Schwalb after they repeatedly failed to deliver on their promises and breached their contract multiple times over. We had to hire lawyers to threaten a lawsuit just to get them to communicate with us. When we signed our contract with Schwalb back in March 2022, they had an A+ Better Business Bureau rating; now, it is an F, due to complaints that eerily echo our own experiences. The owner is in way over his head and never took any responsibility for his mistakes; everything was always someone else's fault, from his employees to the cabinetry company he works with to us. I don't think we are the only ones to experience this, based on his replies to similar complaints where no personal accountability is ever taken. Other than the owner, the other employees at this company did their absolute best to help us, but there was only so much they could do without communication with the owner. When we hired a law firm to represent us, we were told that they knew this owner very well, and that he does "things like this all the time". Further, we have started gathering quotes from other contractors to renovate our kitchen, and multiple different people at different companies have stated they have heard stories of Schwalb builders starting demo to hit their "start demo" checkpoint in the pay structure, then bail and leave the project a complete mess and unfinished. This is not the leadership you want out of a company who you're trusting to work on your house; stay away!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Sean Schwalb has stolen ~$20k from us + legal fees after we fired them for incompetence and they failed to return our down payment. He thinks he is safe ripping off Coloradans as he actually lives in Florida. It may have been a good company before under Seans father, but now it is a scam.

We were very happy with the services offered by Schwalb Builders Remodeling. You can trust this remodeling company with all your kitchen and bathroom remodeling needs. When I was planning to add a new bathroom for my in-laws, I called the project manager of Schwalb Builders Kitchen & Bath Remodeling Sean. The next morning the technicians of this company came with some eco-friendly and out-of-the-box ideas, which I loved a lot. Now, my in-laws are very happy with their new bathroom thanks to Schwalb Builders

When I wanted to increase the space of our old and small bathroom after the birth of our second baby, we decided to hire a kitchen and bath remodeling company who can work sincerely along with the right amount of professionalism. At that time, I found out the name of this reputable construction company, Schwalb Builders Remodeling while searching on the internet. Their trained and skilled professionals were very easy to communicate, so it was always a pleasure to interact with them. Now, we all love the new look of our bathroom. Kevin you are the best

I had been looking for a reliable home remodeling contractor in Denver for over a month before I met Eli from Schwalb Builders. He was friendly and walked me through the remodeling process, choosing the right bath vanities, flooring, new dry wall installation, kitchen countertops, and kitchen cabinets. The team did a commendable job, and my new kitchen and bath look amazing!! I would highly recommend. Thank you guy for everything

We bought our new house not more than ten years ago, but faced a lot of problems due to the damaged walls and floors of our master bathroom. So, started searching for a reliable and experienced remodeling company. After a few days of search, we stumbled upon the name and reviews of Schwalb Builders Kitchen & Bath Remodeling and then contacted Thomas, the project manager of this company. The very next day he sent some of his trained experts and showed us a great combination of knowledge, skill, beautiful design, and hard work which we loved a lot.

My husband and I contacted Schwalb Builders in August 2021 about a potential master bathroom remodel. I signed an agreement in September of 2021. The original estimate was for a ten-day project. The project ended up taking 60 days for the reasons outlined below, but mainly because the work crew usually did not show up on most days, and materials were not ordered promptly. We were dissatisfied for the following reasons: (1) We were told a crew was ready to start and gave the OK to begin demolition, only to find out that the crew was one person being tossed between various job sites. The company knowingly started a demolition without adequate labor power to fulfill the commitment and did not disclose this to us upfront. This largely explained why the estimated ten days they provided to complete the project took close to 60 days; other delays also account for this: (2) parts were selected seven months before starting and were not ordered, causing delays; (3) incorrect parts were delivered; and (4) agreed-upon precautions to protect floors, carpets, and closets were not taken despite assurances and my specifically asking they be taken on more than one occasion. This resulted in close to $600 in property damage. (5) The crew repeatedly did not show up, and when they did show up, they were there on multiple occasions till 7-8 pm; this was very disruptive to our family life. The explanations for the delays now show, at best, incompetence and, at worst, could be construed as dishonesty; 6) we were not notified of when people would be coming and going despite requests to be kept informed. As a homeowner, it is reasonable to expect that you will be informed when people are entering and exiting your home. (7) Materials were selected on our behalf without asking us, and materials we had selected were not ordered; (8) original estimates for materials were grossly inaccurate; even the cheapest options available were substantially more expensive than those quoted; (9) the person doing the work was not informed of any of the design elements I would specify with Rob and had to redo things or just did not do them; (10) an acknowledgment of poor service and/or a sincere apology for such service was not issued until the project was nearly over; I contacted the owner, Sean, on 9/19 (roughly 3 weeks ago) to request assistance in improving how things were going. He never responded. I reached out again when the final payment was due to provide feedback, request reimbursement for damages to our property, and hope of getting an apology and perhaps an additional amount taken off the final payment as we did not feel the spirit of the contract was upheld. We just wanted an acknowledgment, a sincere apology, and compensation for the damaged property. In speaking with Sean several times, I realized why the company operates the way it does. He raised his voice, used profanity once, repeatedly interrupted me, refused to read any of the feedback we sent him, texted me after hours as late as 10 p.m. asking for money, and repeatedly told me that discussions of past events (i.e., the performance of his company) were irrelevant. His company's professionalism (or lack thereof) largely appeared to be a reflection of him. In the end, he agreed to reimburse me for the damages. He never issued an apology or acknowledged any of our concerns regarding how his company treats customers. At one point, he suggested that this was our fault and accused us of not wanting to pay our bills. I did remind him that we had paid to date ahead of schedule, which is not consistent with wanting to avoid payment.

Schwalb Builders did the remodeling to my house before I moved in. They finished the work when they said they would for a little under the estimate they told me. The workers were clean, courteous and knew what they were doing-- I had the same workers for the whole job. Kevin who heads up the operation couldn't have been better- he was always available to take my questions and solved many difficult problems- always saving me money!!! I have used them for a lot of other jobs including working on my garage and putting in my new Staircase-- I feel like I'll use them forever- I highly recommend them

We just bought a home and hired Schwalb Builders to remodel the kitchen. We were given a step by step process from beginning to end. I am very pleased to say the process that was given is what occurred. Sean was never more than a phone call away and the same for the entire crew. Very professional group of people. Will definitely use again if the need arise and will be recommending to friends and family.

Sean goes above and beyond!! My family and I can't thank him enough, he was able to truly turned the space we had into more space!! and our dream home!! We can't stop getting compliments for the entire home including the "King" Kitchen and Bathroom. The work that has been done has Instantly increased the value of our home. Our house needed substantial electrical rewiring. Sean brought in his team with no fear and got the job done! Our house transformation has been phenomenal and will continue to be when we hire Sean and his great team again. We Highly recommend!!

Sean and his crew were very responsive to the changing needs of our project. As we worked through the many problems our 80 year old home presented, they came up with multiple options for going forward and presented them to us in a very professional manor. After sharing the pros and cons of multiple "bumps in the road," they always left the final decisions up to us, with no apparent judgments attached when we had to make some hard choices based on cost (which we really appreciated). On that financial note, Sean was super flexible and very understanding as we had to scramble to get emergency funding for a quickly ballooning project. The entire team were extremely professional and went above and beyond our expectations in their attention to detail and in minimizing the disruption resulting from their work. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Sean and his crew did a full bathroom renovation, painted every surface of the home, including cabinets, changed plumbing fixtures, door hardware, and all light fixtures, in addition to other electrical work for my mother-in-law s home. He sent over an itemized estimate and stayed on budget, no surprises, and delivered within 6 weeks timeline as promised. This was the best experience I ve had with a contractor yet. His workers were courteous and detailed and delivered a great end product. We are looking to hire him for some work at our home.

I used Schwalb Builders for my kitchen remodel. My husband and I love our new kitchen! It came out better than I had hoped. They did an amazing job, was very professional and efficient. The project manager was very knowledgeable and did a good job on keeping us in the loop and giving updates. The crew members did a wonderful job and were pleasant to have around. I plan on using these guys again when we are ready to update our bathroom.

Schwalb Builders is absolutely amazing !! They did my full remodel project which came out to be large kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms and a deck. This included tile, painting, and replacement of all countertops and custom cabinets. I was a bit nervous given my project was a high budget ( I think u can find cheaper but if u want good quality than u must give these guys a shot ) After my house was appraised the value had almost tripled. I am beyond content with Schwalbà ¢à  à  s & will continue our communication for all my future investments. They are worth every penny. They are grateful/passionate with everything they do. Thank you very much for a wonderful work!!

Sean and the team at Schwalbâ s were wonderful to work with from start to finish for our master bathroom remodel and kitchen backsplash project. Sean worked with us to design our space and really make it what we wanted. Everything was clearly laid out, and we knew what to expect every step of the way. We were provided a list of items to purchase prior to the start of the project, which was very helpful in keeping us organized and on time. We are overjoyed with the outcome and would highly recommend this company to everyone we know. Definitely would hire again.

For the past few months, I have had the pleasure to work with Rob and schwalb builders. Our entire family have had a very pleasant experience, and the customer service provided throughout the entire 5 months was very personalized and thoughtful. All together we had a team of 15 professionals working on our project. That included the company's designer, architect/ engineer and the crew who performed the work. We hired schwalb builders to completely redesign our home. We relocated the kitchen, added a bathroom, remodeled our guest bathroom, living room and all 4 bedrooms. Schwalb builders had performed a home remodel and extension to our neighborâ  s property, and since we were planning on having a home remodel ourselves, we paid close attention to the remodeler`s work ethics and visited the neighborâ  s home a couple of times during the project. That's how we met rob who was the project manager at that time. We were very impressed with the team`s rate of progress and noted that they showed up to work every single day. Once we saw the end result and quality of work, we decided to hire schwalb builders and asked to have rob as our project manager. We met with a couple of other local companies just for the sake of research and price comparison and because of this we knew that schwalb builders were offering a fair price for their work. To sum up our experience with schwalb builders would have to say that they have lived up to their reputation. Lines of communication were kept open at all times and we were given full support during all stages of the project. We are very satisfied with the work that was done and are enjoying our new home.
