Mr Unger's Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling

Lubomir G.

Mr Unger did my bathroom. He did an excellent job. He is very professional and straight forward. Did all permits, fast and quality job. Very much would recommend him for bathroom remodeling. Good price range too.

As new homeowners taking on our first remodel, we were a little nervous about the whole process. Following recommendations we got a few different quotes for a kitchen remodel, and frankly the cost estimates easily ranged by two orders of magnitude!

We are EXTREMELY happy that we went with Mr. Unger and his team. He explained the entire process start to finish for us on our first walk through, including accurate estimates for both time and cost that he stuck to without fail. All of the work was done above board with permits and full time employees rather than subcontractors. He let us make all the design and material decisions that we wanted to, but also had outstanding recommendations based on all his experience whenever we got that deer-in-the-headlights, i've-never-thought-about-tile-before look.

We are happy to be enjoying a gorgeous remodeled kitchen that was done on time, in budget, and hasn't had any issues for the last six months. When the temperatures dropped about five months after all the work was finished and it looked like an external pipe had slipped a bit, he was able to come out on a single day's notice and reinforce the work. That quick turnaround for an already completed job was really incredible.

No hesitations with STRONGLY recommending him for anyone in the SF area considering a similar project!

Mr. Unger is professional and knows a lot about building code. All work was permitted, completed on schedule and within budget. We went shopping at Lowe's together to pick out what I wanted and I got guidance on what materials I needed.

The tile work is perfectly straight and the team completed everything perfectly with great attention to detail. Everyone was very friendly and there was good communication about what was being done.

I was impressed by how thorough the job was. My entire bathroom was ripped out and all new drywall and flooring replaced. I would choose Mr. Unger again for future projects.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Unger for bathroom remodels, these guys definitely know their stuff. When it was time to install frameless shower, several estimators told me they rarely see completely straight walls, usually it's done at an angle. The truth is our walls are slightly crooked/tilted like most walls out there, but Nikolai did such an exceptional and thorough job with the tile, he essentially straightened it out. Karen too was wonderful with the tile work (his specialty), but he also went above and beyond with many little projects that were outside of his scope of work, like polishing countertops damaged by another contractor.

The price was very reasonable, on the lower end of the estimates I've collected, but here's what impressed me the most: there were no change orders/unexpected charges for little surprises along the way, even though it certainly added more time to the project to fix those.

Yes, Dmitriy does talk a lot (he's very passionate about what he does), but he never talked over me like another reviewer suggested. He was very easy to get a hold of even on weekends and would return calls and texts within hours and sometimes even minutes. I appreciated that he followed up to check if we were happy with their work a few weeks later.

After several frantic weeks of searching for a contractor with no success, we finally stumbled on Unger's Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling. Because we were on a very tight deadline and needed the work to begin right away, Dmitry agreed to meet at the house for a site visit that same day.

As an architect who works on commercial buildings in downtown SF, I'm used to terrible contractors. Also, most of the friends we talked to hated their experience with residential contractors. So it was very refreshing to work with Dmitry who is very honest, well versed in building codes, connected with the SSF building inspectors, and delivers in a timely manner. Out of 6-7 contractor quotes we received, Dmitry's was very reasonable.

Margus was responsible for the initial phase of the project, which included demolition, rough electrical, plumbing and cabinet installation. He works very fast and efficiently, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much progress he made on a daily basis. He was also very good at communicating any issues that came up, questions, or even just progress of the house. The only thing I wish was done differently was clean up everyday (this might have been because we weren't living in the house during construction and he didn't feel it was necessary, not sure) and the painting of the guest bathroom was not great.

Karen was responsible for the finish work and we were very very happy with his craftsmanship, thoroughness and love for his job. He did a beautiful job with the subway tile backsplash and in putting the finishing touches throughout the house. He was also very responsive to texts and we saw him almost every weekend at the house. He's a super nice and great person and we felt like he legitimately cared about making our family happy with his work.

All in all, we were very impressed with Dmitry and co and are hoping to use them again when we remodel our upstairs bathrooms.

Dmitry and George did 2 bathrooms remodel, installed over 30 recess lighting and install baseboards all around the second floor of our house. This was all done with a permit and within the project schedule. Dmitry is very knowledgeable, honest, and doesn't really mess around. Great work and I highly recommend using him. Thanks!

We had our bathroom remodel completed in December 2016, so this review is overdue. We had just purchased our house and didn't want to spend a ton of money remodeling since we had just shelled out so much money, but we knew we had to have the master bathroom remodeled prior to moving in. We called several contractors and got a large range of bids. Mr. Unger was the only one that had a reasonable cost and appeared to be really knowledgeable about the building codes and inspection process with the building dept. He even said he could do it in about 2 weeks! That was the icing on the cake. We wanted to move in asap, so this worked out great.

During the construction process, we ran into 3 unknown issues (I guess that's what happens when you purchase a 100 year old home). With each of the issues, Mr. unger was precise in what we needed to do and the price was reasonable. Even with all these hiccups, we still finished on time, which was important so that we could get the floors refinished before we moved in also.

I wish mr. Unger also did full remodels as we are in the process of remodeling our entire top floor. We will probably hire him when we can afford to remodel our kitchen. I can't recommend him enough.

Dmitriy and his team is easy to deal with. Great contractor. Great work and on time. Reasonable cost. He is straightforward and keeps everything on track, he'll let you know what is up to code and what isn't. Overall, we're happy with the outcome of our small bathroom. Looking forward to do our future remodels with his team again soon. 03/2017

Went forward with another bathroom remodel from Dmitriy and his team. I would like to add that I appreciate them following in detail what I wanted, and I couldn't be any happier.

Mr Unger is the way to go. We met with four different contractors and are extremely happy we went with Unger. Everything was done with a permit, on time and very reasonably priced. He is also based in South SF, so is super close and checks on his guys often. Highly recommend.

This was my first remodel experience and it could not have been better. Dmitry was communicative, honest, and on time for everything. When we wanted something that he thought may not work, he was able to explain why and find us other options.

Dmitry's employee, Karen, is basically a remodel artist. He cut and laid our tiles, cut our counter top, and set everything up on the bathroom PERFECTLY. Not only that, he was friendly and clean! To say I am obsessed with Karen would be an understatement. He was seriously amazing.

I cannot recommend Mr. Unger enough. Our bathroom is beautiful and Dmitry sure does know his housing code (passing permits was so easy).
