Constraction reviews in Torrance, California

C.O.R. installed rain gutters for us today. The two man crew led by Raol arrived at 9:30 AM. It took about 5 hours to install because we needed some gutters placed on the 2nd floor. The crew was professional, fast, neat and very friendly. I highly recommend C.O.R. 5 stars out of 5.

Watch out for these guys! They come to your door set an appointment for a "paint estimate" but it's not paint! They send over a salesman to take 2-3 hrs of your time pointing out small cracks on your stucco causing fear to buy now! They sell Textcote its an over price paint that has bad reviews. I have a 1400 ft house single level and the salesman came up with a 34k estimate! And they try to make you sign same day for 15% off its a bait and switch with fear in the pitch. The guy told me that if I didn't fix the stucco now its gonna cost 25k for one wall if I let it go! I have been living here 15 years and my house is in the same shape nothing has happened haha. Do not allow these jokesters to come to your house with their over priced fear 2-3 hr sales pitch its a joke!!!

We have used this contractor to completely install a new roof 2 years ago, and to install several new windows this past week. In both cases, the workers were knowledgeable, professional and did a great installation. We can recommend them without reservation.

This is the 3rd project Cut Once Remodeling has done for me since the middle of 2020. Each job has started when scheduled, completed in a timely manner, crews were quite professional, cleaned up after themselves and did fantastic work.

The crew that just replaced 4 sliding glass doors in my house knocked the entire job out in 4.5 hours. They took out the old doors, installed and sealed the new doors, and hauled away the mess. They were even kind enough to remove the blinds I no longer wanted and hauled them away as well.

I would recommend COR for any interior or exterior work you need done. I have been very happy with their work and the entire company's attention to their customers. They are always calling to update you on the delivery of materials, when the job will start and when the crew will arrive on day of job start.

My husband and I hired Cut Once Remodeling to coat the exterior of our home with Coolwall. We own a duplex. The crew did an excellent job communicating, they walked us through all the steps, gave us plenty of colors to choose from and did a great job prepping the house. They did clean work. We are very very happy with the final results. They definitely aren't the cheapest but we highly recommend them.

I would highly recommend COR for your house painting needs. The employees are very knowledgeable, friendly & the crew chief (Aurelio) & his guys were excellent to work with. The job was completed on time & the quality of work exceeded our expectations.

COR was awesome. Mom's 61 year old home was in desperate need of foundation and stucco repairs and paint. Her home looks new now. The crew was professional and respectful of our property and needs. The office was in contact with me at least twice a day to keep me informed as to what to expect daily. COR was pleasant to work with. I am very happy with their workmanship.
We later went with them for new custom windows too. Knowing their workmanship, we felt comfortable having them come back.
Our home is now water and soundproof.

Cut Once Remodeling was contracted to repair and recoat the outside of my house. Very high quality product and teamwork is important to me and the company. The product used is very durable and long lasting. The team that completed the job were friendly and always on time. All details were taken care of timely. If Cut Once stands by there work a signed warranty should be delivered upon completion of the job. I’m still waiting for mine.

We were approached by this company who knocked on our door, letting us know they were doing another job in the neighborhood and asking if we intended to paint. We scheduled a “free quote”. Like many of the other reviews say their “quote” was actually a predatory sales pitch. After telling us he was concerned our structure was damaged and we may soon “pop a stud” which would require the city to rip the whole wall out to inspect he gave us a super long (3 hours) sales pitch about cool wall paint, quotes us almost $40,000 but with a 5% discount if we signed up now with a $5,000 deposit. We said no. Then after leaving the sales person returned and said they were doing another job in the area and could give us a $10,000 discount. We still said no. They called us for weeks, each time offering us a lower price. My wife blocked their number and they called multiple times with a no caller ID number. After paying two structural engineers to assess the structure of the home, both informed us we were in no danger of “popping a stud” and that a regular patch and paint would suffice. Though they did suggest a paint like cool wall May help mitigate further damage, we were quoted about $15,000 less from other companies for such a product.

Very sketchy sales practices. I feel badly for the salesman, he was very kind but it’s clear he was under immense pressure to put through the sale. Nasty. Do your research before you pay this company anything. DO NOT give them a deposit until you get multiple quotes to compare.

Also, at least two of the 5 star reviews on this page are fake.

Cut Once Remodeling repaired and resurfaced the outside of our house. They did a fantastic job! Everyone, from start to finish, was professional, efficient, and respectful. Erik taught us about Cool Wall, the product the company uses and explained each and every step that they would do. Raul and Cesar were there everyday working on our house and kept us informed as to what they and the crew were doing and were going to do next. Rhay or David came by daily to examine the work that was done and asked us about any questions we might have. We definitely recommend C.O.R. and we will use them in future projects.

We recently had exterior work performed on our house including painting and stucco rework and are very pleased with the outcome. Work included several needed repairs and replaced woodwork. Cut Once Remodeling exceeded our expectations and finished ahead of schedule with no sacrifice in quality. The crew was professional and cleaned up each and every day during the project duration. A much needed refresh to our exterior! We would advocate considering this company for roofing, exterior treatment, and window replacement.

I was ready to stucco and paint my house. Put money down, signed the contract, but the wife decided she had other priorities at this time. The company, although eager to do the job, accepted the decision and refunded the down payment without delay. I appreciate their professionalism and will recommend their company highly. Thank you!

I hired this company for the first time in 2019 to do my roof. Then hired them again at the end of 2022 to tackle my outside stucco and trim. Cut Once did an absolutely amazing job. It’s hard to get excited for a roof but the exterior looks absolute amazing. Some of my neighbors also recently had work done by other companies but it just doesn’t even look close to quality nor doesn’t the finished job look as good. Highly recommended!

I have worked with many contractors/companies. I have just had the best experience in 32 years of owning a home. COR was fantastic in every way possible. Staff has consistently called me stopped by and updated me on progress of my project and what to expect next. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a quality product and job. They even found other issues in my home that I wasn’t aware of. It was an added. Project with COR but we decided to use again. It has avoided further damage and money that would be otherwise our loss. A+

The workers did a fabulous job repairing and repainting the stucco and wood trim on my house. They paid close attention to everything, making sure to cover all windows, doors, concrete and my pool in order to protect from dust and paint. I am amazed at how thorough they were! In addition, many of the C.O.R. sales and quality control personnel stopped by on a regular basis to make sure that all was going well and that I was happy with the work. I highly recommend this company! They did a great job! My home looks better than when it was first built almost 70 years ago!

We had a very positive experience with Cut Once Modeling in refroofing our house and replacing some water-damaged wood due to leakage from the old roof. They described what needed to be done and why, and every day told us what would take place for that day. The project manager kept us up to date on how the repairs were proceeding. The work team was very professional, open to our questions, and overall did an excellent job.

After being recommended by my sister, I just had my roof done by COR. This was by far the easiest home improvement project I’ve ever had done on my home. Larry was my representative. He was very knowledgeable about roofing. When we first met, he did a full detailed inspection of my roof and showed me pictures of everything he found.
Larry then explained in detail what materials he was going to use and why he recommended them.
Once the project started, it went exactly as Larry had told me it would. A roof is a messy job, I had wood shingles and they went everywhere. The crew did an amazing job cleaning it all up. Four days later, the roof was completed. I’m 100% confident my roof will outlast me on this home. Great materials and great installation!

…ADDITIONAL JOB - 4 years later…
My stucco and wood work were in need of repair so I called Cut Once Remodeling back to have yet another job done. Larry is no longer there but Brandon was able to help me and did an amazing job explaining exactly what they were and were not going to do. David communicated with me every step of the way by calling me the night before and informing me exactly what was going to be done the following day. The crew did a fantastic job. My house looks like it did when I bought it. Thank you COR for another easy, well managed project.

We had C.O.R. do a roof shingle replacement and then a stucco repair and painting of our house. We can’t say enough at how George’s crew worked tirelessly, on time and were very professional in their work. The QI group checked in with us daily for any questions or concerns we had and answered all our questions. They visited our house daily to determine the progress and talk to the foreman. They did an excellent, meticulous job and our home looks new now thanks to their efforts. We will definitely use C.O.R. again for any other remodeling projects on our house or driveway in the future and will gladly tell our friends that they should call them up for their house remodel.

We contracted with COR for several jobs: painting, roofing, and gutters. We were impressed with the thorough explanation of the materials they use and how they would correct some of the problems in our 55 year old house. Throughout the time their employees worked at our house, we were pleased with the attention to detail and the fact that someone from the company came every day to check on the progress and our satisfaction.
After all the jobs were completed, workers diligently followed up with making sure all the needed touch-ups were thoroughly taken care of. We are extremely satisfied with the result and have had very positive comments from neighbors.

I will give credit where credit is due. The team that repaired our stucco and painted did an amazing job. However, know that if you go with contractor, you can expect a hard sales pitch. I almost did not meet with them because they refused to meet me without my husband. They will tell you this is their policy, regardless of gender, but it still feels sexist and a blatant disregard for working couples. They insisted that we were both present for the estimate. We scheduled a day I thought my husband could make, but he got called into the office. The sales team came out and did a general assessment describing the current damage and future potential risks. They would not talk money until my husband was present. This meant my husband took time away from work so they could give us the whole sales pitch. They finally gave us a quote in the 30K range. I think this is probably on the high end, but they were using cool wall material and, as mentioned, the finished product was beautiful. In a moment of happiness, we asked for an estimate on our roof. Same process, they came in really high 50K range. We decided to get some other estimates, all of which came in between 23K-33K, which made me question how they come up so high. Here is my rub, since then, I have been repeatedly called by some guy name Jake/Jarred who tries to sell me a roof, saying "I won a free estimate". He isn't even the project manager who we originally worked with that gave us the estimate. We never heard back from him (no follow up). I told Jake/Jarred to stop calling me. He did not stop. I called the company and told them I wanted the phone calls to stop. He has called me 10 times this month and each time he talks to me like it's the first time. I don't know if it is the same person, or if my name and number was just thrown out there for any takers, but it has annoyed me to the point I will not do business with the contractor again.

All the workers did the best job they could do dealing with the condition our house was in!
The house looks the best it has looked since we moved in 38 years ago. We got calls every day letting us know what time the workmen would arrive!
