Angel Construction is a trustworthy and hardworking company started by Luis Angel and his father Juan who have been working in this field for many years. Striving to deliver excellent services with the best pricing available, Angel Construction is your solution to home foundation needs and other repairs.

"Hired Luis for a complete foundation replacement for a home on a hill in Angelino Heights. Luis was very easy to work with from coordinating plans/permits, keeping to schedule, and scope changes along the way (LA City was a PITA). Luis was easy to talk to and his pricing was the best out of 5+ bids we got. Work involved replacing the entire footing/foundation, leveling interior floors, adding a few posts and support beams under the raised foundation, and replacing front patio cement area. Luis was always looking out for our bottom line and very efficient. Normally the type of foundation replacement we did requires multiple inspector visits but Luis knew the process well and only required one inspection after work was done, saving us a lot of money. Change orders were always handled professionally and very fair to both sides. Everything turned out great (I'm writing this review a year later). I highly recommend Angel Construction and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"Do NOT use these guys! They are terrible. Hugo has abandoned my project, and we are about to begin the litigation them. Hugo is a terrible communicator to his clients and employees. The pool itself looks amazing (My wife and I designed it, not them). And the work, for the most part, was good! But there are things to finish (Correct the panel location, set up the pool panel and programming, set up our app on our phones to control the panel, pass gas test and final inspection) that he did not complete after daily messaging. Pool project started on 10/3/17...we signed a contract agreeing to 90days (Jan 3, 2018)...well here we are, April 25, 2018 with out the entire project completed. Hugo showed up yesterday (4/24/18) since is was the last day for him to complete the project before he breached it, and it was the first time he actually SAW THE POOL, and it was the first time that he has set foot here since November 14th, 2017, which also happens to be the last time he collected a check!! (weird, right?!) Over 5 months ago!!!!! He'll tell you that his crew showing up for the first time in over 8-weeks is his company “continuing to work on your property”. It's the second time his company disappeared for over 2 months during this project. All the problems we had here were directly from Hugo not being here and it was on me to do his job and make sure his employees he sent did the right thing. Perfect set-up for him, Right?! Here you are, paying him tens of thousands of dollars for a project he agreed to, and you end up having to hound him and beg him to finish it! He's unapologetic about everything. There were only 2-3 inspections that I wasn't here alone to do. That's not what i signed up for! I paid full price, I paid every time I was supposed to, and now I'm the one who has to sit and wait for the inspection?! In fact, today we failed our final inspection (for the 3rd time) because we failed the gas test, and the location of the pool panel isnt to code, and some of the pool equipment will have to be moved to provide the required "working space" around our main electrical panel. We'll we have a new contractor that will finish this up. And we'll do everything we can legally to collect what is owed to us by Hugo and his company. Word of advice: Make sure that final payment in the contract is AT LEAST 20% or more...or you wont see your project finished...for sure not by these guys. But the best advice would be DON'T USE THESE GUYS!"

FAQs for wainscoting installation projects in South Pasadena, CA

Wainscoting is decorative paneling that covers the lower part of a wall for style and protection. Beadboard is a type of wainscoting made of long vertical planks with small raised beads between each board. You’ll see it on walls and ceilings when homeowners want added depth and charm. Both options work indoors or outdoors; beadboard pieces lock together with tongue-and-groove joints, while similar styles, such as shiplap, rely on a square rabbet joint.

The best rule of thumb for wainscoting is to stop the panels at about one-third of the wall height. In a room with a nine-foot ceiling, that’s roughly three feet up. Sticking to this ratio keeps the room balanced, lets plenty of wall color show above the trim, and delivers a polished, timeless look.

Wainscoting can make a room look smaller if the room has low ceilings. The same rule applies to wainscoting as it does to painting any space: to make the room look larger and more open, paint it a light color, such as white or cream. Since beadboard incorporates vertical lines in the paneling, this style of wainscoting is ideal for those wanting to make a room appear larger than it is.

Technically, you can panel any room, but wainscoting shines in open areas, such as a foyer or a tall-ceilinged bathroom. Skip it in small rooms with low ceilings—panels can make tight spaces feel boxed in. Open-concept layouts without clear stopping points along the walls are also tricky, as the trim requires a distinct beginning and end.

Removing existing wall panels before installing wainscoting involves distinct demolition efforts. The cost to hire a professional for demo work is $1.50 per square foot. If the underlying drywall requires replacement after panel removal, an additional fee of $1.60 to $2.35 per square foot is incurred. Completing these tasks properly ensures a sturdy foundation and a flawless finish.
