Home Quality Remodeling

We worked with David from HQR to finish our garage. The project included (1) demo of old drywall, insulation and storage structures, (2) installing new insulation/drywall (also adding it to the ceiling after adding structural support to fully finish the space) and painting and (3) installing recessed lighting. David and his team did an awesome job for us. We hit a delay around the holidays due to permitting issues but David was on it non-stop to progress the project through those inspections. What separates David and HQR is their commitment to excellence all the way through the project. As we were coming to the end David was always checking in with us to make sure we were happy with the results. There were small finishing touches that were needed and the team addressed quickly. We've had a few experiences where that sadly isn't the case. From our experience I know that David will take care of customers and we will definitely go to him for our next project.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Amir, who project managed remodeling of 2 bathrooms in my house. The job was done very well and timely. I am very particular about the details when it comes to my house and this time I am very happy with the result. Highly recommend them!

I recently hired HQR to do a full remodel of my old bathroom. I worked with Amir as the project manager and Iâ m very happy with how he handled it, from planning to execution. Amir was polite, responsive and very detail oriented. He always made sure that Iâ m up to date with the progress and pleased with the outcome. Love my new bathroom! Really high quality work, fair pricing and great customer service.

Highest marks for HQR. I contacted Rafi (Project Manager) after a disastrous experience with another contractor, who left us with a brand-new, leaking shower they refused to fix. Folks, very few contractors will step in and fix someone else's mess: it's just too much of a headache. But Rafi agreed to help us, thank goodness. He was delightful to work with and actually became a friend in the process. Having your house ripped up months after you've just completed a job is pretty traumatic: Rafi understood this and was really patient with our anxiety and all our questions. After he removed the faulty shower, he insisted that we test for mold to be thorough. I really didn't think this would be a problem after just a few months of leaking, but lo and behold, he was right. We had mold. Rafi helped us get it remediated quickly and then rebuilt our bathroom. He gave me a lot of good design advice in the process which the other contractor never bothered to do. Rafi is committed every step of the way to getting the job done RIGHT. We are not just thankful for the good job HQR did, we are indebted to Rafi for taking on this very challenging project and making us smile at a really difficult time. Thank you HQR!

I enjoyed dealing with most of the trades people though their skill level was quite mixed. HQR business approach seems to be try to get away with using low-skilled workers but then be very solicitous about fixing problems that were pointed out. I am happy with the finished project (bathroom remodel) but only because I touched up a lot of the caulking and painting myself. I simply could not trust what the HQR project manager and foreman were telling me.

My wife and I couldn't be happier with our choice of HQR for our remodeling project. (We are currently towards the end of the planning process and have just pulled permits.) Our project manager, Eddie Stolik, has been simply outstanding. Truly, it has taken us 4 years of talking to various contractors, architects, and designers before we found the confidence to move ahead after meeting with Eddie. He is a wellspring of ideas and solutions as well as super-responsive in the many communications that go into planning a project such as ours. Eddie has also brought with him and managed so adeptly a great team of talented individuals.

The workmanship and communication was excellent. Eddie Stolack ( project manager), Luis Cardoza (foreman) , and crew all showed great attention to detail that we really appreciated. We ran into some hiccups (not unexpected in a 40-year old bathroom) , but Eddie communicated clearly and solved the issues that arose. They finished ahead of schedule and it looks beautiful.

You wrote a review for Home Quality Remodeling 13 minutes ago 5.0 star rating1/7/2020 Great communication and work. Or project manager was Eddie and he was great. They did a bath remodel for us, not a huge job but still made us a priority. They helped with everything including the shopping. The job was done well within the time expected and is better than I though it could be. I would hire them again. Thanks!

We hired HQR to help with the design of our room addition. While initially impressed with the friendliness and apparent openness, we subsequently found the communication and follow-through very poor. We had hoped to form a good relationship during the design process so that we would feel comfortable with them doing construction, but the opposite occurred and our interactions with HQR resulted in quite a bit of stress. We have decided to go with a different company for our construction.

They were professional, Everything that was promised was done. And very conscious.

Ron and crew did a complete remodel of my house that might as well be a new build. They built an 800+ sq ft addition in the back of the house while my family and I lived in the existing house. When they finished the addition, my family (wife, 4-year-old and 1-year-old) moved into the addition and Ron's crew completely demoed the interior walls of the existing house and built new rooms. They put on a new roof, new exterior, new floors, new everything. Not only did they do a fantastic job, but they finished 3 months ahead of schedule! A lot of things could have gone horribly wrong living in a house with a young family while construction was going on, but Ron's team handled every issue with care and consideration. I highly recommend Home Quality Remodeling for any project, large or small! We couldn't be happier with our new home.

Our guest bathroom was just remodeled and we're elated with the result! We chose HQR based on reviews and their bid was not the highest that we got. Ronnie Ilan, our project manager, was the greatest. He recommended suppliers where we found exactly what we were looking for (we had looked around for tile and a vanity previously and it was overwhelming)! During construction, he constantly kept us updated and quickly responded to our needs. He truly wanted us to be happy with our new bathroom. Although there were delays due to delivery of tile, the bathroom was completed ahead of schedule. At times there were 3 workers on site and they were polite, neat, and their work professional. The herringbone tile work in the shower is spot-on. We were fortunate to discover HQR and are looking forward to working with Ronnie again. Highly recommend!

The remodel of our 1950's era home remodel was just completed and we could not be happier with the result and experience working with HQR/Ron. The experience Ron brought to the project, his overwhelming positive attitude, availability and proactive response to issues that came up (as with any project) were attributes that made the difference in our remodel. One of the attributes we came to value was Ron's approach to mid-project plan changes; they were handled with minimal, or no impact to the process or schedule. His constant comment was that at the end of the day, he wanted us to be happy with the remodel result and experience with HQR, we came to realize was sincere and his actions mirrored that commitment. Communication, work quality, schedule, professionalism and obviously cost were all important factors in our initial search for our remodel project. Fortunately for us all our criteria were met or exceeded by HQR. Finally, we are way beyond pleased with the results of our remodel! Our old house looks amazing now! The difference for us is just overwhelming! Thank you HQR!!

HQR just completed a 2nd floor master bath remodel, powder room redo and entry tile work. The decision to go with them was based on reviews and their mid-range estimate. The master bath required removal of a half wall, plumbing moves and significant electrical work. When the demolition was done, the room looked like it was just being built, i.e., down to the studs and joists. Although HQR did not offer much in the way of design ideas, Ronnie Ilan (the project manager) did point us to suppliers that we needed to realize our own design objectives. The actual work was mainly carried out by Elio who did a tremendous job from demolition through to detailed completion (the guy is a real jack-of-all-trades). When issues were encountered with the tile work on the floor and shower niche, Ronnie was contacted and made things right quickly. Ronnie also acted as an advocate in dealing with the tile suppler and again with the company that installed the glass shower doors (a small but irritating detail). Throughout the process, Ronnie checked in frequently to assure we were happy with the work and Elio was as solicitous as you could want in making sure that things were done as we wanted. The completed master bath is very bright and roomy and a pleasure to use - the shower is just fabulous. Although the work is now complete, Ronnie assured me that if any issues arise in the future with any aspect of the work HQR did, contact him and he will deal with it. Based on their performance, this is a contractor who can be trusted to do a good job, Certainly recommended for quality work and customer care.

I searched for several remodeling companies in the East Bay and Home Quality Remodeling has the best quality and reasonable price. I worked with Ronnie llan and he was amazing at laying out the project scope, responsive to our every small and large details, and follow thru. I will definitely use these pros again.

Ron did a big renovation work in my condo in Emeryville, and I have nothing but praise to give him for his amazing work. In the beginning finding a contractor was definitely not an easy task, many come and tell you stories, or give you insanely expensive quotes. It's very hard to find someone authentic, with good prices, and especially someone trustworthy. I was lucky enough to find Ron in the last second before moving states, and he was able to complete my entire renovation work from start to finish whilst I was completely away. He sent me updates and photos, and was super diligent and worked hard to make sure I'm 100% satisfied. My renovation included adding an additional room, breaking load bearing walls, replacing the entire kitchen and all this while getting city approvals and HOA approvals. Without Ron I wouldn't of been able to get my condo looking as amazing as it is today. I wholeheartedly recommend Ron, and will continue to use his expertise for future renovations.

Wanted a bathroom remodel involving moving a wall to make the bathroom larger. Went with HQR although they were higher priced than the nearest quote, I liked that they were reviewed as being fast, high quality, and finishing the job. My experience differed from the reviews. The main issue was a lack of planning/measurements which led to a smaller vanity and many delays. The delays were caused by additional tile orders, work that needed to be redone (at HQR's expense), and my search for a smaller vanity. So why the 5 star review? First, the end result was high quality; second, the management team ensured I was happy with the work; and most importantly, I'm convinced that problems that I experienced have been addressed by the owner Ron Poliker and the Production Manager Shay so it won't happen again. The project manager on my job no longer works for HQR, detailed drawings are to be approved by the customer, Ron is implementing quality checklists, and he conducted project management training. So, in summary, HQR provided high quality, exceptional customer service and, most impressively, Ron went the extra mile to implement customer experience improvements.

I am very happy with my finished bathroom from Home Quality Remodeling! Hain Zonenhin, the Project Manager was helpful from the beginning to the end of the Project. Hain was able to come with me to various vendors to select finish materials and with his connections and good taste I was able to select some beautiful tile, etc. to complete the project! Jeff Anderson was the contractor who did the complete remodel from demo to finish tile! He did an excellent job and he was competent in all phases of bathroom remodeling. Two employees of HQR installed the barn door, it came unpainted but they told me no problem we'll paint it for you. They did a beautiful job and even installed the handles! I would highly recommend HQR for any remodeling project. They are local and easy to reach!

HQR just finished up a remodel of my kitchen. Here are the top 5 things that I liked about working with Ron and HQR: -Fair price. His bid was considerably lower than the next guy. He was open and honest about any potential future add-ons, and then when there were add ons (as there invariably are with a big project in an old house), he was fair with that price, too. And he didn't sweat the small stuff (e.g. he didn't charge me extra for nice paint.) -Flexibility. He never flipped out when things had to change direction. Did I mention that this is an old house? Over 100 years old. In the process of remodeling the kitchen, we discovered a chimney we didn't know was there and all kinds of other minor quirks. Ron adjusted quickly to all changes (including me changing my mind a few times :) and made sure the work still got done to everyone's satisfaction. -Great communication. This is not my first remodel/major work done in my home--this is the first time I've worked with folks who communicated so well. He always responded right away to any questions I had, even when I texted him on the weekend (I should thank his family too!), and he communicated directly and clearly every step of the way. He was also nice to my toddler who wanted to play with all the construction tools :) -Efficiency & quality (well, I guess these are 2 things). They got the job done early even while respecting my wishes to avoid weekend work (my toddler thanks him). And it looks great! -Integrity. When a few last minute things came up AFTER we'd already paid him, he made sure someone was here to address it right away. That's pretty cool.

My remodeling project is finally done and it took about 2 months as promised. We are thrilled to have our perfect kitchen, bathrooms and living room. Ron and his team really listened and over-delivered and helped us. A great customer service is about making the customers happy and looks out for the customers at all times. Ron really holds up the standard and makes sure his team goes by the same standard and rule. We will hope to have Ron work on our back yard as the next reno project!

From start to finish, Haim and his crew, Greg & Neil, were exceptional. They were very focused on the result I was looking for and freely made suggestions that resulted in a completed project that exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail was amazing, they were truly artisans when it came to the tile work and design. With all the projects Haim had going, he never lost sight of my little bathroom remodel and was regularly on site monitoring the progress and quality of the work. The site was always protected and cleaned up daily. I could not have asked for a better partner or outcome. Haim and his guys are the best. Jeff M.

I hired Home Quality Remodeling to completely redo the kitchen as well as 3 bathrooms. I went through entire remodeling job with Aharon Poliker. He was very pleasant, helpful and easy to work with. The crew worked very hard and did a great job. I am very pleased with the results.

It took a long time for my husband and I to decide on a general contractor. The fact is there are just so many of them in Bay area. We had to compare 5 different bidders and evaluated based on the price, service, past records, Contractor license Board history and their personality. It was quite daunting given we were doing the whole house including kitchen, master bath, hall way bath and guest bath. We decided to pick Ron and HQR because we feel very confident and comfortable in his approach and he is always on time and fast to respond. He isn't the cheapest but his quote is very reasonable. You just need to work with him on your demands and budget. Once the project started after July 4th weekend, everything flew fast. He has reliable crew that works in the house and he checks the progress a few times a week. Whenever we have questions or concerns, he is always able to solve the problem and provide a solution. So far, our project is 3/4 done with kitchen cabinets yet to be fully installed and paints to be retouched in the house plus minor handy man work. We are so excited about our new house in Walnut Creek and can't wait to share more pictures once they are fully remodeled. I will definitely recommend Ron and HQR to be your next contractor.

the people at HQR did a magnificent job on our shower remodel, surpassed our expectations by far. I would and already have recommended HQR to a friend of ours
