What Customers Say

“Diego and his crew did an amazing home remodel, taking out the old bathroom and building it back beautifully. If you want a contractor who truly cares about detail, quality workmanship, and professional service, this team is a great choice. They recently finished my bathroom remodel and also updated part of my kitchen, and the results turned out even better than I expected. Diego made sure every part of the project was completed to a high standard and checked that the finish work, tile, plumbing, and electrical details were done the right way. Norman, who handled much of the hands-on work, was dependable, skilled, and a big part of why the project went so smoothly. He showed up consistently, worked hard each day, and paid close attention to every step of the renovation. What stood out most was how carefully the whole project was managed. If anything needed adjustment, it was corrected right away so the final result matched the level of quality promised. The bathroom now feels fresh, modern, and well built, and the kitchen updates blended in nicely with the rest of the home. I would gladly recommend this remodeling team to anyone looking for honest service, strong communication, and”

“We absolutely love Alvarez Construction Services. After meeting with several contractors for a whole-home remodel and a 1,500 square foot addition, Jeff was a welcome change. He was never pushy and was always respectful, experienced, honest, and professional. This was our first major home renovation, so we were not familiar with the remodeling process, but Jeff guided us from the first planning meeting through the final walkthrough. He took time to understand our goals, offered helpful ideas, and shared examples of similar remodeling projects so we could better picture the layout, finishes, and design options. Diego also helped us during the selection process for appliances, tile, countertops, and other interior finishes, which made everything much easier. The team built beautiful custom cabinets and helped us make practical style and color choices that fit our home. Malik, the lead designer, and the rest of the crew were wonderful to work with. Everyone was skilled, courteous, detail-oriented, and clearly took pride in the quality of the workmanship. Communication stayed strong throughout the project, with regular updates by phone and email, and the job site was cleaned up at the ”

Aubree Santos

“We wanted to update our kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom with new countertops, flooring, cabinets, and fresh paint to give everything a cleaner, more modern look. We also needed a few bathroom improvements, so we were looking for one remodeling company that could handle the full project instead of hiring separate contractors for each phase. norman, one of the project leads, came out to review the space and provide an estimate. We explained what we wanted, and he suggested a smart design idea that made our small, narrow laundry area feel much more functional and better laid out. Once we moved forward, all we had to do was choose the materials and finishes, and the team handled the rest from demolition through installation. norman, as our project manager, answered our questions quickly and kept us updated throughout each step of the remodel. He was honest, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure we were happy with the final result. We also had an excellent on-site crew, especially malik and diego. They were hardworking, professional, and always ready to explain things or offer useful suggestions about the cabinetry, paint, and finish details. The flooring crew also did a gre”

“Jeff replies fast and professionally whenever we call about a home remodeling project, and he never leaves questions hanging. Everything we asked about, from small repair items to larger renovation needs, he was able to handle or explain clearly. He also provided a detailed item-by-item cost breakdown within a couple of days, which made budgeting for the work much easier. His crew was polite, respectful, and professional throughout the process. Since we were coordinating the remodel from a distance at first, his quick communication gave us a lot of confidence right away. If there was a specialty job outside his scope, he always had a reliable contact to recommend, which helped keep the project moving without stress or delays. One great example was our kitchen porcelain sink, which was chipped and showing wear. Instead of pushing a full replacement right away, Jeff suggested reglazing it as a practical option. I did not even realize that was possible, and the finished result looked like new. It saved us a significant amount of money, reduced the hassle, and fit perfectly with the rest of the kitchen update. He clearly knows the remodeling field well and has strong connections with o”

“We hired Alvarez Construction Services to turn our dining room and part of the living room into a downstairs junior primary bedroom with a full bathroom. From the first day, Norman helped us plan the layout, finishes, and construction details, and the whole remodel moved forward in a smooth and organized way. One of the main reasons we chose them was their professionalism and clear commitment to budget and timeline from the start. Throughout the project, the crew was consistent, showed up on time, kept the work area organized, and handled each phase with care. From framing and drywall to lighting, windows, painting, and final finish work, the team gave us confidence every step of the way. As with any larger home renovation, a few details came up during construction, but they were handled quickly and professionally. What really stood out was the fast communication, problem-solving, and strong customer service. Every concern was resolved well, and the finished bedroom and bath look excellent. You would never know there had been any challenges along the way. We have completed other home remodeling projects before, including kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, and bedroom conversions, ”

“I hired a remodeling team to update my one-and-a-half bathroom, including removing the old tub and installing an ADA-compliant roll-in shower. After meeting with Diego, we felt comfortable moving forward because he listened carefully, answered our questions, and explained the renovation process in a simple and clear way. Throughout the bathroom remodel, Diego stayed easy to reach and was always willing to talk through ideas, layout options, materials, and accessibility features. The crew showed up on time, kept the work area clean, and communication was smooth, which was very important to me during an active home improvement project. On the few occasions when the schedule shifted, I was updated right away and told when to expect the workers. The project had strong supervision from start to finish. On one day, a supervisor stopped by several times to make sure the technical details of the shower installation and other bathroom work were being handled correctly. That extra attention gave us confidence that the remodel was being done with care and professionalism. The timeline and budget estimate were both reasonable, and the finished bathroom feels much more functional, safe, and com”

“Alvarez Construction Services did an excellent job on our full home remodel. gerald, norman, and the crew were easy to reach, helpful, and great to work with from start to finish, and we now see them as our go-to contractors for future kitchen, bathroom, and interior renovation work. The craftsmanship was excellent, and they kept us updated through each phase of the project, which made the whole remodeling process much less stressful for us. This was our first major remodel, so we spoke with several contractors before making a decision, and we quickly realized how lucky we were to choose this team. They took time to explain the scope of work, answer questions clearly, and help us understand what to expect during demolition, framing, finish work, and final details. Even when normal remodeling issues came up, they handled everything with professionalism, skill, patience, and a friendly attitude. Great customer service is not about a project having zero challenges, it is about how those situations are managed, and this team did a great job every time. diego and the crew stayed focused on quality, communication, and making sure we were happy with the final result. They were committed t”

“They just finished our kitchen remodel, and we are extremely happy with the whole experience. Communication with the team, led by Diego, was excellent from start to finish. They were very responsive, often replying to texts and emails quickly, and they stayed clear and honest about the project plan, timeline, and each phase of the renovation. It was obvious they cared about earning our trust, and they delivered on that from the very beginning. Gerald was at our home almost every day and did outstanding work from both a craftsmanship and design standpoint. He worked hard, paid close attention to detail, and was always friendly, respectful, and easy to work with. He also shared several smart remodeling and layout suggestions that made our original kitchen ideas even better. Our custom tile backsplash had a detailed pattern and was not easy to install, but he handled it beautifully and the finished result looks amazing. When an outside countertop contractor caused delays with the butcher block installation, the remodeling team did everything they could to recover lost time and keep the kitchen project moving forward. They stayed organized, adjusted the work schedule efficiently, and s”

“These are amazing people who do excellent home remodeling work. I really value their honesty, clear communication, and ability to keep renovation projects on schedule, done the right way, and within budget. From Norman and Diego in the field to Jeff helping guide the overall process, the whole team is highly experienced, and it shows in the quality of the finished remodel and how smoothly each project is managed. They bring a family-style approach, strong work ethic, and years of hands-on remodeling knowledge that stands out from others in the industry. Their personal attention, design insight, and practical construction experience make the entire process easier, whether it is a kitchen update, bathroom remodel, or larger home improvement project. I have had a great experience working with them, and if you have them handling your remodeling project in Riverside, I think you will be very pleased with the results.”

Adeline Gentry

“Great experience from day one with Alvarez Construction Services. I called to schedule a consultation for our front yard and outdoor remodeling, and they were able to come out the same day. A few hours later, Diego met with us, listened closely to everything my wife wanted, and took time to walk us through several options for artificial turf, landscape design, and ways to improve the overall curb appeal. Our front yard was in rough shape and really needed a full refresh. After getting a few estimates, we decided to move forward, and it turned out to be a great choice. Working with the crew was easy from start to finish. They were professional, respectful, and paid attention to the small details. The customer service was excellent, communication stayed clear during the project, and the finished work looks clean, polished, and high quality. Our yard now looks much better and feels like a complete outdoor upgrade. Definitely a 5-star experience.”

Rebecca Pruitt

“We worked with Alvarez Construction Services on a home remodeling project that changed our downstairs den into a new bedroom and office space with a full bathroom, opened up the living room for a better floor plan, and upgraded the electrical throughout the house. The whole remodel was well organized, and diego met with us every week to go over progress, answer questions, and explain the next steps. Even when a few challenges came up during construction, he stayed in close contact by text, phone, and email, and made sure we understood every update and inspection result right away. In the end, my wife and i were very happy with the finished work. The new layout feels bright, functional, and much more modern, and the added bathroom and updated electrical really improved the comfort and value of our Riverside home. There were a few normal construction delays along the way, but the process was handled professionally and with care, and malik and the crew made sure we were satisfied with the solutions. Now when i walk through the house, it feels like a completely refreshed space, and we truly enjoy being back in our home. If you are planning a remodel or renovation, i would strongly reco”

Elena Hines

“Exceptional and very detail-oriented. The crew was highly professional throughout the whole home remodeling project. Diego and his team made sure every part of the job was done the right way and looked almost perfect. We really loved the transformation of our backyard and pool area. It used to feel plain and closed off, but after they painted the exterior, removed the wall that blocked the view from the living room, opened up the layout for better flow into the pool space, installed large sliding glass doors, and added fresh landscaping, the entire area felt brighter, more modern, and much more inviting. The new indoor-outdoor connection completely changed how the space feels and made it perfect for relaxing and entertaining family and friends. We're already thinking about adding an outdoor kitchen and barbecue area to complete the remodel.”

travis ruiz

“I recently hired Alvarez Construction Services for a living room and dining room remodel in my home, and the results came out amazing. They knew exactly what updates would improve the layout, finishes, and overall flow to give the space a fresh, modern look. The remodeling work was done with care, and the whole interior feels more open, clean, and updated now. I spent a lot of time searching for the right contractor for this home improvement project, so I was relieved to finally find a team that could handle the job the right way. From planning the remodel to making smart design changes, everything came together well. I’m very happy with the completed work and would recommend them to anyone looking for home remodeling, interior upgrades, or similar renovation services.”

Lois Burgess

“Our experience with Alvarez Construction Services for our complete home remodel was fantastic. We needed a full renovation, including updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, living areas, and even added a master bedroom upstairs. From the beginning, Norman and Gerald were reliable, communicative, and truly attentive to every detail. After researching many companies and getting several quotes, we felt confident choosing this team, even though their estimate was a bit higher—it was absolutely worth it! The entire project was finished ahead of schedule, taking only 8 months instead of the expected 10, and everything stayed perfectly on budget with no unexpected costs. Throughout the process, Norman was patient, organized, and always made us feel like our home was a priority. From the initial design and planning, to architectural details and city permits, to a clear payment schedule, everything was handled with professionalism and care. Even after the remodel was complete, Norman checked in to ensure we were satisfied and that everything was working smoothly. We feel so lucky to have chosen this team for such a big project, and we couldn’t be happier with our beautiful new home. We highly r”

“When unexpected damage affects your home, it is important to work with a remodeling contractor that communicates well and follows through. Those are the things that matter most to me. We were referred by our insurance company, and I had heard plenty of bad stories about insurance-recommended contractors, so I expected the process to be difficult. Instead, Norman and Jeff, especially Jeff, did an excellent job from start to finish. They kept us informed, stayed professional, and made the whole kitchen restoration process much easier than I expected. My custom kitchen and wood flooring look like nothing ever happened, and everything looks as beautiful as when it was first completed. They were in high demand, so we had to wait a few weeks before the project began, but the quality of the remodeling work and the final result made it well worth it.”

eugene lindsey

“My husband reached out through yelp to get bids from several remodeling contractors for our kitchen renovation, and honestly the search for the right team was very stressful at first. After doing a lot of research, we decided to move forward with one company, and we were very happy with their professionalism, communication, and patience from start to finish. The kitchen remodel took about two and a half months, just as promised, and staying on schedule was very important for us before moving back in. A major reason we chose them was diego and the designer, who provided several 3-D layout options and helped us select cabinets, countertops, tile, and finish materials. Everything came together beautifully and gave the whole space a clean, updated look. diego was excellent throughout the project. He took us to local suppliers, explained the remodeling process clearly, and made each step feel easy and well organized. We especially appreciated how the team kept us informed during the entire job. Even small installation details were brought to our attention so we could choose exactly how we wanted everything finished, which made the final result feel very custom. During construction, an i”

“We highly recommend Alvarez Construction Services for kitchen remodeling work. From the start, Diego kept in touch well and followed up on time, which made everything smooth and easy since we could not be on site. We picked quartz countertops, and the new counters were installed quickly. Diego brought up important details we had not thought about, which was very helpful because we had installed the cabinets ourselves and could not be there in person to review everything. The countertops look excellent, and we really appreciate the team’s craftsmanship, care, and the quality of the finished work. The drawer fronts were not installed yet when the photos were taken, but the kitchen already looks great.”

Kaleb M

“We were so happy to find Jeff for my parents’ large home remodeling project before listing their house for sale. We spoke with several contractors, but Jeff stood out as the most dependable, hardworking, and trustworthy. The home had a great lot and view, but it had not been renovated in many years, so the goal was to update it and make it one of the best-looking homes in the area. Jeff gave excellent guidance on the remodel design, finishes, and overall layout so the house would feel stylish, clean, and appealing to buyers. He helped with smart renovation choices that improved both the look and function of the home, including updates that made the space feel more modern and market-ready. His knowledge of permits, building requirements, and the full remodeling process saved us a lot of stress and time. He and his crew were easy to work with throughout the project, and Jeff was always patient, professional, and kind while answering our many questions. We really appreciated his experience, communication, and attention to detail. My parents and I are very thankful for his remodeling skills and expertise, and we are so pleased with how the project turned out.”
