"Most smoothest work we’ve ever had done on our home! The team were very kind & respectful. I’ve had many negative experiences with other companies so at times, I’m hesitant to ask questions but the team always reassured me and continuously made sure my voice was heard. All workers are very respectful of start & end times making workday transitions flow effortlessly. We had our existing siding removed & replaced. We didn’t expect it to be completed so quickly but was happily surprised. They maintained organization & cleanliness not to mention staying within quoted price. Overall, we were very grateful to have received such great work. My family and I will definitely be going to them for any future work. We highly recommend you putting your trust in Elusive Construction. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for making my home look beautiful again!"

"Our experience is identical to what other reviewers shared. And yes, you should run from this company as fast as you can. Do not buy what Abraham shared that the payment must be made when the inspection is passed. Check the Business and Professions code yourself, the payment only needs to be made when the job is completed. It is very COMMON that the job is not even done or poorly performed even the inspection is passed. Here are the issues that multiple families including us run into with this company:: The project was delayed for over 9 months. No one manages the job. He often employs young men from his own Jewish community. They are enthusiastic but had no prior experience. The worse part is that they don't get paid. Two of them even set up a new construction business knowing Abraham will never pay them. Subcontractors can put your house on lien also. Many reviews you see on Yelp, Google, Angi are NOT genuine. Even the references are fake with hindsight, we were given 2 references. One reference shared the exact same accent as the PM. The other reference was initially happy with their work, but then reached out to us and shared a similar horror story with them like what we experienced. You will lose a lot of $$$ on materials as the subcontractors will somehow leave a thousand dollars worth of quartz at home. Maybe they want to compensate for the money Abraham owed them? Let me tell you, reordering materials is not fun."

Family owned business with over 22 years of experience -Remodeling - General - Remodeling - Kitchen & Bathroom - full home remodels - room additions - ADU's - Full Roof replacement -

"Would not recommend them to anyone. We had the worst experience with these guys. Scope of project: kitchen complete remodel, replacing carpet flooring with vinyl tile flooring , redo electrical for kitchen area only cost: 100K+ what went to plan: - kitchen demo - made one nice dry wall - setting up and framing of the kitchen area what went wrong: - communication/scheduling : we would never be told ahead of time when work was being done. Sometimes there would be days stretches where no one showed up and then guys would show up randomly on a Sunday morning. At the start of the project we told them we were going to move into the back half of the house, so just have that clean. We moved into trash and debris everywhere. They also saw a vinyl strap , strapped to our tree, tied to our neighbor's fence (it was there keeping the fence up as the tree was leaning into the neighbors fence). In their brilliance, they decided to cut the strap and use it for themselves. How did we know? we found it on our roof, used to tie some electrical conduit. Who the heck does that?! We should've cut ties at that point, it was just the start...if we only knew. But we gave them the benefit of the doubt...but things kept going wrong. - Kitchen cabinet install was not leveled, we end up telling them to not bother coming back and we installed the whole kitchen ourselves (re-leveling the base cabinets, putting on the hardware, installing the cabinet doors. - broke several custom panels (to their credit, they did pay for the reorder) but we ended up installing it ourselves , which we were never offered refund the labor. - the kitchen counter was not leveled, we also had to redo it ourselves in order for the independent countertop guys to install it. - cut hole for electrical switch too big, huge gap now in our org Eichler panel that is not repairable unless we replace the whole wall. - cut hole in wood beam ceiling too big for ceiling vent even though they had the manufacturer's specifications. tried to fix it, but it looks terrible. - lied and said they had experience installing lux vinyl tile. They didn't. The flooring , which is supposed to be new, looks like flooring that has been there for years and hadn't been replaced. It was discolored, uneven, not leveled, and not even lined up. How can you mess up lining up squares? Our sales person Joe ,came and made excuses after excuses , telling us " no one can install it better than them" , that this is the "best" we'll get. I cannot believe he could look us in the face and say that. We ended up requesting 1500 back, though for us to reorder redo the tiles for the kitchen will be 3K+. - as a last F you to us, they gave us the bill for the permit fees which includes a 3% of project cost recycling deposit that is 100% refundable if they just do the paperwork and let the city know where they recycled the demolition material. Our kitchen project was 80K and so it was $2400. Guess what, they "never heard of this" and have no proof of where they recycled the material and so cannot get the refund. I have no idea where they dumped the material.....and we're out 2400. The best thing about this project is finishing and NEVER having to deal with them again."

FAQs for countertops installation projects in Watsonville, CA

Properly maintained terrazzo countertops demonstrate remarkable longevity, often exceeding 75 years of service. This exceptional durability significantly outpaces many alternative countertop materials. Consistent maintenance using appropriate cleaning products helps preserve both appearance and structural integrity. While the initial investment may exceed some alternatives, terrazzo's extended lifespan often delivers superior long-term value when calculated on a cost-per-year basis.

Terrazzo countertops cost between $40 and $75 per square foot installed, positioning them in the mid-to-high range of countertop options. This pricing places terrazzo in a similar bracket to quality granite countertop and mid-range quartz countertop installations. However, terrazzo's exceptional longevity often provides superior lifetime value despite comparable initial costs. Each material offers distinct aesthetic and performance characteristics beyond simple price comparisons.

Terrazzo installation requires specialized equipment, technical expertise, and significant experience—making it unsuitable for DIY projects. Professional installation ensures proper substrate preparation, appropriate material mixing, and correct curing procedures. Attempting self-installation frequently results in structural problems, appearance issues, and potentially higher long-term costs. The complexity and weight of terrazzo materials necessitate professional handling for successful installation.

Certain terrazzo formulations—particularly cement-based versions—can function effectively in outdoor environments with proper preparation and maintenance. Outdoor applications require specialized formulations to withstand temperature fluctuations, moisture exposure, and UV radiation. Appropriate sealants provide essential protection against environmental factors. Consult with experienced terrazzo specialists regarding suitable materials and installation techniques for exterior applications.

Terrazzo demonstrates strong environmental credentials, particularly when incorporating recycled aggregates like repurposed glass or stone fragments. Its exceptional durability reduces replacement frequency, minimizing long-term resource consumption and waste generation. While cement-based matrices have higher carbon footprints than epoxy alternatives, terrazzo's multi-decade lifespan helps offset initial environmental impacts. Selecting locally sourced materials further reduces transportation-related environmental costs.
