Testimonals

Gary, Jessie and everyone else at Eagle Pride Construction have done a great job on a Master Bedroom and Kitchen Remodel. They had great ideas to improve the space. The quality of the work is top notch. We are very pleased we chose to go with EPC.

Gary, Jessie and Crew at Eagle Pride Construction have done a great job on our Master Bedroom and Kitchen Remodel. I had a few ideas of what I wanted and they carefully explained what would and wouldn’t work. For the things that wouldn’t work, they gave me some great ideas to improve upon what I wanted. The quality of the work is great. We are very pleased we chose to go with EPC.

Gary and his team are extremely thorough and very detail oriented. True professionals. The honesty and integrity that Gary and his crew display is a breath of fresh air. Remodeling can be a disruption to our normal daily routine, but they were expeditious in their efforts to complete the project quickly while still delivering a fabulous product! I Highly recommend Eagle Pride Construction.

We had a complete remodel job of our condo which included our kitchen, both master and hall bathrooms, and laundry area.They also helped us to put together our furniture and repainted a wall in order to match our new light fixture. The end results were outstanding, with the quality of attention given to every detail. Their work made this extensive process well worth the effort and price . Gary is very creative and came up with a great design both with our kitchen cabinets & redesigning the look of our staircase. His team certainly follows the leadership style he developed in the military. . My wife and I could not be happier. His team truly cares about the end product and went out of their way to make it happen. We will definitely them for our next job

Eagle Pride Construction has done numerous projects for our home over the years, from minor repairs to major structural work including a balcony addition and design, and sewer line replacement required by the county. The quality of the work is fantastic, the cost is reasonable, and the people are amazing. I highly recommend them for all your projects, big or small.

Jesse and Gary were instrumental in helping my wife and I navigate through our construction after a massive water leak destroyed our kitchen. We would be lost without these guys. I highly recommend Eagle Pride Construction to everyone.

Eagle Pride did a major remodel in our home including the living room, kitchen, family/dining room, office and powder room. They replaced cabinets, lighting fixtures, appliances, flooring, one window, an exterior door and resurfaced the fireplace. Their staff were wonderful; responsive, prompt, courteous and extremely tidy. Great group of guys!!

This review is long overdue (and long itself, sorry).

Eagle Pride Construction completed our kitchen remodel in December of 2019 with Jessie as our foreman. I’m finally getting to this review after I overloaded a circuit and had some concerns with our electrical panel (installed by others). EPC stands behind their work and fixed our problem within 24 hrs. The issue ended up being a faulty breaker not helped by my overloading a circuit, likely not due to work by EPC, but they replaced the breaker immediately and free of charge regardless.

The Short-ish…
I would have no hesitation using EPC again if I was in need of a GC. EPC performed the design, structural engineering, permitting, the kitchen remodel itself (structural + exterior, windows, tiling, relocating drains below slab, etc). We were tight on budget, so I did the demo, re-insulation, painting, and re-installed our laminate to save some money. Aside from a delay I place on the City of Ventura’s permitting office, EPC delivered a beautiful kitchen within a rigid timeline before the birth of my son.
EPC worked with our budget and delivered as quoted aside from a change order for additional work requested outside the original agreed upon scope. The engineering for the structural work likely cost more than quoted and some small changes I requested throughout added labor costs. The change order was reasonable and did not seem to offset these extra costs likely incurred by EPC.

The Long… Bid & Design:
EPC was the third quote we received; all three quotes were higher than what we had originally budgeted, with EPC’s quote in the middle. Just like the other two, we told Gary our budget and what we envisioned. Unlike the other two, Gary was straight forward in telling us the work requested is more than our budget would allow, but offered some areas where we could save money. There was zero pressure for us to sign any agreements after the estimate.
I did opt for separating the design, engineering and permitting apart from the construction bid given our tight budget. The design price was competitive and we could have gotten bids for the approved plan set from other contractors. A good chunk of the project cost was addressing the structural issues from a previous homeowner’s unpermitted remodel.
EPC worked with us, modifying the scope and I did some of the work in order to get us to a price we were comfortable with. The allowances for owner purchase-contractor install were accurate. We did spend extra on natural stone for the backsplash, but there were plenty of options within allowance. We selected a composite quartz countertop from EPC’s showroom at a competitive price and still looks great.
The design process was collaborative, Gary listened to our quirks and offered his own design tips. Now, after two years of use, I really can’t think of a single thing I wish were different other than just spending the extra money to replace the living room window

Construction:
After the city’s permitting delay, work moved forward with a tight deadline. Our son was due late Dec and I completed demo mid-Oct. EPC completed the kitchen by mid-Dec. I worked on completing the pre-agreed upon final painting, re-flooring, etc. as time allowed. Given the scope, EPC was efficient in meeting our hard deadline.
I made minor changes to the design throughout, and anticipated a change order on some but the only one change order when we decided to address some drywall work in the living room and electing to have EPC install the floor tile (I was originally going to complete). They worked while we were away as requested and left the area tidy and clean to where my pregnant wife and 2 year old child weren’t breathing in dust or finding sharp objects to play with.
I worked closely with Jessie (foreman) who was always available if I had questions and on rare occasions come over in the evening to meet me. I probably annoyed the heck out of both Gary and Jessie, as I can be quite particular, but they didn’t show it if I did.

Eagle Pride Construction remodeled the bathroom in our 90 year old beach cottage at Pierpont Beach. Gary’s guys did a terrific job in every phase of the design, demolition and new construction, including construction of a walk in shower, plumbing, floor construction, cabinet design and construction, painting and tile work. EVERYONE on his team was dedicated to perfection. The project was completed on time and under budget as quoted.

What we hoped would never happen, happened: A dishwasher leak under the kitchen sink that ruined a 3 year old wood floor. Fortunately, not all of it. It was such a small job – My concern was that a company would not want to deal with it. Thankfully, Gary stepped in, gave me a reasonable estimate and a few days later his excellent wood-man arrived. More projects ahead. EPC will be my first call. Great Customer Service from all! Thank you!!
