Starting Long Beach remodel and in need of referrals!

[James Peters]

Hi all,

I am still a couple of months out from starting a remodel on my grandmother's home in Long Beach.  The plan is to initially turn it into a long-term rental due to the fact that it is close to Long Beach State.  

Good contractors a generally busy, so I want to connect with some good ones and get on their calendar for when they are free.  

I am going to do pretty much a complete job.  The roof is rather new, but could use some attention.

So send me your referrals for:

-HVAC installation

-hardwood floor resurfacing and flooring

-plumbing

-electrical

-painting

-bathroom and kitchen remodeling

Thanks and I appreciate the help in advance.

Hi James!

Here are some contractors the property management company I work for uses frequently (let them know Kelly with LS Real Estate referred you if you call!)

GC: Richard Tovar, Tools of the Trade - (213)200-3121. He and his crew do fantastic work and could handle the full scope of what you're looking to do, but they are VERY busy. If Richard doesn't pick up when you call, it's because he's out on a job. Try him back a couple of times.

HVAC: Myles Luas, Luas Appliance Repair - (714)632-1966. Myles is honest, reliable, and won't BS you. He even helped me via text for free when I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my heat pump after installing a smart thermostat (he walked me through checking all the wiring before realizing I programmed the dang thing wrong.) 

Hardwood Floor Resurfacing: Raul Sanchez, IC Custom Hardwood - (562)447-4488

Other Flooring: Danny Drake, Triple A Flooring - (562)440-8158. Danny has fantastic prices and does great work - he'll go above and beyond to make sure the job is done right. He's our go-to for apartment-grade and mid-grade carpet. 

Jim's Floor Covering - (310)539-0700. They have a wide variety of flooring options, including wood-look vinyl planks, carpet, sheet vinyl, etc. and competitive prices.

Aimee Phillips, Uptown Flooring - (562)945-4407. Aimee has higher-quality carpet for decent prices.

Painting: Peter Rijken, B Taylor Painting - (949)751-7232. Peter's crew does very good work, both exterior and interior, and will help you with color choices. 

Good luck with your remodel!
