Element Construction and Restoration

Paul, the owner showed up ready to make my vision happen. I was put off by a few other contractors who wanted to come in and tell me what they were going to do, I wanted to be heard and I found the right company in Element Construction! Having never dealt with water damage and all that it entails, I was grateful for Paul's experience and how he dealt with my insurance company. He wrote a detailed report refuting the initial adjusters estimate of damage to the point that they more than doubled the cost they were initially going to pay out.

Paul provided me with vendors so I was not confined to what Home Depot or Lowes had to offer, he gave me a starting point on how much I could spend (insurance money) before we went into out of pocket. He worked hard to make my dream come true and was very transparent to additional costs when I chose to upgrade. All in all I would say that after the initial shock of having to deal with two bathroom remodels, this has been a very positive experience. I would gladly recommend Paul and his team for any work you might be looking at in your home.

Once again, thank you Paul for your attention to detail and for always getting back to me with all of my e-mails, text messages and phone calls. You obviously care about your customers!

Element Construction and Restoration is by far the FINEST company you could ask for!

I had the best experience with Element!
Having your house in the worst way from a flood is so stressful, but this restoration company ran things so smoothly in a timely manner, that getting everything done was stress free and a breeze!

The owner of Element, Paul, handled everything perfectly. He kept daily communication to what comes next and is happy to help with any concerns or questions you may have. He was professional, knowledgeable and personable.
He works well hand in hand with the insurance adjuster along the way to ensure everything goes well.
Pauls crew were wonderful!! They wore masks and were respectful and worked extremely well! They were EXPERTS in their field!

I really got lucky! I am so grateful to Element Construction and Restoration. I HIGHLY recommend them!!

We recently moved into our brand new home from the South Bay and had some improvements that way more pleasant to living in it. It has been the best experience I've had working with a contractor in terms of timing and meeting our expectations. Paul, the owner, is courteous, timely, and gets things done! He was super mindful of what we wanted especially after we changed the scope of the work more than we planned on, gave us thorough explanations and details of what is needed to accomplish our goals. Sometimes when things don't go as planned it can stress you out but his calm experienced guidance solved the problem w ease. His subs also worked out well as he managed to keep us in the loop of what to expect from them and when. This Covid has affected many manufacturers especially cabinets which were back ordered w no ETA to rely on when I tried to go through Ikea to save costs. The estimate he gave me was reflected in the final bill aside from the add-on tasks we requested while the work was being done. We will definitely call him when we are ready to go into the next phase of our dream home revision!

I opened my garage door in the morning, but after a couple of hours working in the garage I couldn't close it down. I was guessing that maybe something with the signal or the motor is wrong as I didn't hear any noise from it. Paul sent out his craftsman the same day, though it was already afternoon hour and I'm glad that he didn't tell me to reinstall all the door with the motor, that what I was expecting to hear actually, but instead he genuinely confirmed that just the motor must be fixed. Moreover, he managed to fix it on the spot-he fixed some wiring and checked that every part is working accordingly. I was pleasantly surprised and will recommend Paul's company to friends as I believe that I called the right man in my situation .

I have to say from the first moment Paul stepped foot into my place he was nothing but professional. We had just experienced flooding in my place which ruined our bathroom and part of our kitchen ceiling and my insurance company was trying to underpay and undercut the amount of work that truly needed to be done. Paul stepped in once I agreed to his company doing the work and he went to work dealing with my insurance company to get them to agree to pay for what really needed to be done to repair our home. He was always so quick to respond when I had any questions and even when I was confused by what the estimate said he was quick to explain and make it easier for me to understand. He was also very flexible with us as we were figuring out what we wanted in our bathroom and then had to wait on our vanity to be shipped. Also they came across a termite infestation under our toilet area and were quick to notify me so we could remedy it and let them get back to work quickly to finish the project. I have to say I am extremely happy with the quality of the work and how easy it was to work with Paul and his crew. I definitely would recommend them to anyone and look forward to using them for any future projects we have.

It was a pleasure to work with Element Construction! Paul was on time and there every step of the way to help me with my insurance claim and fixing the drywall and flooring damaged that had occured due to a leak in our laundry room. My insurance was giving me a hard time in paying for the repairs but Paul advocated for me and was on top of things until they covered all expense (minus our deductible). I'm so glad Paul helped us through the insurance claim process and was patient. The work done on our home was immaculate it looks as though nothing ever happened I highly recommend for any home reconstruction or remodel!

I recently had some water damage in my home that had just been remediated and dried out. I had a big hole in my ceiling and drywall's and flooring removed and exposed. I needed someone to help repair the damage. I called Paul and he was polite and very professional and he was sympathetic to my situation. He was able to stop by the next day to inspect the damage and I later received an estimated quote from him later that day. For the inspection, he called before arriving and showed up on time per our agreed appointment. He had his face mask on when we met and he wore shoe covers when he came into my home. He took the time to explain the scope of work to me during the inspection and he throughly answers any question or concerns I had about the process. He also mentioned that they were able to work with my home insurance company and provide any documentation or info they would would need for any insurance claims. After receiving this quote, and comparing with others, I felt his estimate was fair so we hired him. His team were able to start work on my home the same week (Friday) it took them 3 business days to complete the job. My home looks as good as it originally did. His staff was also professional, they covered up when they came to my home and they didn't leave any mess behind when they left. Over all I'm very happy with my service from Paul's company Element construction and I gladly recommend them.

I rarely write reviews, typically only when something goes really bad or when I receive exceptional service. Happily it is the latter with regards to Paul Courtwright and Element Construction. Paul completed our project on time and on budget which was a challenge. He was the only person that I contacted willing to contractually obligate himself to the timeline we had to work with. Paul is very intelligent, polite, fair, patient and an extremely effective communicator. He kept in contact with me almost daily and was obviously on top of the project, stopping by on a regular basis to check on progress or when changes were necessary. His crews led by Oscar and David were always on time, a pleasure to deal with and asked questions instead of making assumptions - something that kept everything on schedule and avoided potential heartaches. I highly recommend without any hesitation Paul and his company - he exceeded our expectations and that is hard to do!

Our kitchen had a leak that caused a lot of damage. We decided to upgrade our kitchen since we had to have a portion of it gutted anyway and had been meaning to revamp it at some point. Paul was easy to communicate with. We tried to go through insurance, but they refused to pay because it was a slow leak (apparently slow leaks are not often covered by insurance companies because they are probably common). The insurance agent informed me that they had worked with Paul before and that he is good. So, we opted to work with him. Every step he let us know what was going to be done. His workers wore masks during the entire time and kept things as tidy as possible. The painter Paul uses is an artist and he is passionate about making it look good. All of the work was completed in the promised time frame. His price was pretty spot on according to what the agent predicted as well. We are so happy with our kitchen that we probably will do a master bathroom remodel eventually when we get there.
