What do recent reviews say?

Alvarez has earned strong praise for quality on larger projects and exterior work, with five-star reviewers calling them versatile and detail-focused. However, two one-star reviews flag serious gaps: poor crew supervision, language barriers between workers and owners, messy worksites, unfinished jobs despite full payment, and defensive responses to complaints. Results vary significantly by project type and scale.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

  • hard-working, takes pride

FAQ

Does Alvarez handle kitchen cabinet work?
Reviews do not mention kitchen cabinets specifically. The business advertises both categories, but evidence for cabinet-focused work is absent from available feedback.
What should I watch for if I hire them?
Two reviewers report unfinished work, poor crew supervision, and language barriers on site. One paid in full for incomplete trim and deck painting. Payment disputes remained unresolved.

MT Home Remodeling

Most projects finish on time with crew members who show up reliably and leave the workspace clean each day. Homeowners consistently praise Thiago (the owner) for responsiveness, fair pricing, and a team whose work is polished enough to rival magazine spreads. One buyer under contract reported a two-week wait for an estimate, though the overwhelming majority experienced quick turnaround and clear communication via a dedicated point of contact. Kitchen remodels receive particular mention for attention to structural detail: wall removal, beam installation, flooring, and new cabinetry executed smoothly while residents stayed in the home. The business also handles decks, patios, siding, and exterior work with the same finish-quality standard.

Most customers praise Yankee Remodeler for skilled work, clear communication during projects, and reliable on-time, on-budget delivery. Named staff like Mike Mahoney and Pete Doherty built strong reputations. However, recent complaints highlight slow response to initial inquiries, staff professionalism gaps, and a reported dismissal of an accessibility request from a potential client with a disability.
