Testimonials
Nexxus Remodeling is the top ranked Los Angeles Construction Company. As the highest rated contractors on industry websites and social media, we take pride in our many reviews in all categories of construction and remodeling.
Job went well – Tony and/or his crew came by three times to measure, double check the job. His estimate was fair given the replacement windows were Fleetwood. Tony’s crew was professional, on time and very clean (they cleaned at the end of every day).
New doors are awesome – very happy. Looks very professional.
Description of work:
Had five huge sliding glass doors replaced and one window. House very vertical, built in 1986 – new windows replaced single pane sliders.
Tony was excellent. I really felt like he was an advocate for me with every contractor who touched my house. The contractors who worked with him were professional & skilled. We were very happy with the result. Tony called at least once a day, kept us abreast of developments & told us what to expect. He completely rebuilt the house around us in under 4 months. Tony gave us materials at his cost & did not make additional profit there. We paid the heating contractor & tile store directly, & this was true for many things. He easily accomodated me as I added to the job, often without charging me extra, such as new closets in the kitchen & bedroom. He brought samples to my home to save me trips to the store. He was perfectionistic about the quality of work. He helped me design & pick colors as we went. Certain themes emerged & the whole house has a flow that I could not have predicted before we started. There is not one thing I would change. I love my house.
Description of Work:
The job included a complete remodel of a 3 bedroom 1947 house in great need of updating & repair. They completely gutted & remodeled the kitchen & 3 bathrooms, refinished hardwood floors, new patio cover, concrete work & gazebo for jacuzzi, central heat & air, all new windows, custom cabinets, tile work & granite, all new electric box and wiring, complete restucco & paint for exterior, & complete paint inside including up to 4 colors per room. In short, a competely new house. The painters really prepped, often sanding down to bare wood, the tile work & cabinets are extrordinary, we couldn’t be happier. What ever came up Tony made sure it was taken care of. He was on time & on budget. We interviewed 7 contractors before meeting Tony & signed with him the first day he came over. He was obviously the right guy for us. He took responsibility for everything.
They are very personable and helpful. They have some creative suggestions to some odd issues I had concerning my house. No sales pressure, no pressure to do unnecessary work, even suggested some fixes I could do myself. They were willing to work with my own odd schedule (compromises were made, but very fair). Based on the work done so far, I am very confident hiring them for the next ”wave”, which will include bathroom remodeling and structural work.
Description of Work:
They repaired damaged concrete stairs and fireplace mantle, replaced dryrotted wood along house foundation and porch supports.
Nexxus and Tony are outstanding contractors. Tony bids on the job immediately which is incredibly refreshing – someone who is confident in their knowledge of construction work and hours and knows exactly how much things will cost. Everything was done meticulously. The crew was polite and considerate. We interviewed 4 contractors and felt the most confident about Tony. We are sad we don’t have more work to do – he’s a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work:
Tony + team completed the following for us: 1) created an outdoor front stoop area with concrete, tiles, a new railing, built in lights. More difficult than it sounds since we’re in the hills and strange slopes and angles exist. 2) retiled and redid our outside stairs and landing. 3) re-stained and added decking to our backyard. 4) built a master bedroom walk in closet with electricity and wired for a flat screen tv. 5) knocked out our shower and put in a bathtub. 6) repainted our house 7) added additional hose outlets in the backyard Everything was done meticulously and we are picky people!
Great, FAST job. They were very professional and gave the lowest quote. I have no complaints at all. Description of Work: A concrete walkway was removed and replaced with brick set into new concrete.
I had a bid from another company, but Tony gave me more confidence that I’d get what I wanted. He even talked me out of a few of my more outlandish (and EXPENSIVE) ideas. In the end, he was dead right. The crews all showed up on time – and even early. There was not one day that someone didn’t show up. Tony oversaw the entire job and called every day to check on how it was going. I even had a bay window with really ugly tile. It was not mentioned in the estimate. I asked Tony how much he would charge to retile the window area – he said nothing. The workers were very careful with my two dogs (another plus for me). When Tony gave me my estimate, he said the job would be finished around Christmas. He finished a month early. How many nightmares had I heard about contractors taking forever to finish jobs. That is one of the main reasons I had avoided remodeling. The finished project is better than I imagined. I couldn’t be happier to have done this.
Description of Work:
Demo old kitchen, including removing walls. Complete remodel of kitchen, installed new custom cabinets. Installed CaesarStone counter tops, plumbing upgrade and repair in kitchen, tiled kitchen floor in slate. Complete electrical upgrade and new lighting fixtures throughout house including chandelier, built laundry room with shelves, painted entire interior of house and repaired and refinished hardwood floors.
A little prickly (anal) but probably a good trait for his profession. Didn’t feel snowed, but definitely a short and to the point guy. Don’t look for handholding – it’s business. Nice guy though.
Description of Work:
Had Tony come in to give a quote for new cabinets and some remodeling done.
As a few things popped up, Tony was very good about providing us with alternatives that were less expensive and actually turned out great! He uses crews that are all punctual and take special care around house. Very clean workers.
Description of Work:
Tony performed foundation work (concrete), as well as painted entire interior of home and also complete plumbing and electrical upgrade.
Tony Pantera called me back precisely when he said would, arrived to give me an estimate on time and prepared a written estimate and contract at our home. We reviewed it called him back to accept it on a Friday. He said that demolition would begin on that Monday and gave us a time line for completion of all work. His crew arrived on Monday and demolition was completed in two days. After that, all work was done on schedule, on budget and with the highest quality workmanship. He kept us completely informed on the project’s progress and was on site every day. His crews were very friendly and professional. Again, we would stress that the workmanship was first rate. I was very pleased to have found Nexxus on Angie’s List and have already recommended the company to friends.
Description of Work:
Complete kitchen remodel from floor to ceiling with new counters, custom cabinets, floor tiles, wall painting, appliances, electrical fixtures, and ceiling paint. Also, remodeled and installed new washer/dryer in laundry room.
Tony and his crew immediately saw my vision and took on the task as if it was their own, making suggested improvements along the way. We had a flexible schedule and Tony worked with me through my vacation. I took a 10 day 70th birthday holiday in the middle of the work and Tony and his crew did not miss a beat. I modified my plans as things developed and Tony and his crew altered his work schedule to accommodate my changed plans [i.e., changed kitchen color scheme and appliances from aluminum to white]. We had frank discussions regarding all aspects of the job; didn’t always agree. I respected Tony’s opinion and together we made the necessary modifications. It was a good flexible working experience that resulted in AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL contemporary updating of this 70 year old retiree’s modest home built in the late 40s.
Description of Work:

Zion and his crew were assigned to this project, and although I knew I would be happy with my new deck, I never thought I would consider it a thing of beauty!!! I was so impressed with the work this team did and the extra effort they always seemed to put into each area to make sure I was happy. Zion always contributed some creative thoughts to help solve any problems or help with design questions. He was completely open to any suggestions I had and I truly felt as if he was building this deck with the same effort as if it was in his own back yard. Everyday they were on time and left with everything in place and cleaned up for the day. In addition to the deck, the work on the fence and gate was excellent, and he even built the gate based on a picture and some specifications I gave him and it looks absolutely wonderful! The project is over and I am 200% satisfied and will definitely call Tony again for the next project! Tony and Zion are THE BEST!
Description of Work:
I had a very large hillside deck which was very old and needed to be replaced. Tony came out and determined that I could leave some of the support structures in place and replace all other areas. I also needed to have a fence and gate on the side of my house replaced. Based on the recommendations from this site and meeting Tony in person, I felt very confident that this was the right company to do the job. Tony ended up having to replace more of the support beams then he originally thought, but did not increase his price for this additional work.
EXCELLENT. I COULD NOT ASK FOR A MORE PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTOR. HE GUIDED ME THROUGH A DIFFICULT CONSTRUCTION JOB. HE ALWAYS CALLED BACK. HE WAS ALWAYS ON TIME. HIS SUBCONTRACTORS ALSO WERE EXCELLENT.
Description of Work:
1. Custom redwood Jacuzzi enclosure and decking. 2. Fence repair. 3. Upgrade electrical for Jacuzzi. 4. Patio cover in aluminum/wood lattice design. 5. New gutter surrounding house. 6. General construction in digging and demo and gravel footing for Jacuzzi.
We have custom granite crown moulding in our meditteranean house. Each block is 18″ x 8″ and weighs about 10 lbs. One of them fell down when the glue came loose. We had several contractors look at them and they concluded they were improperly installed by the original installer and that they all needsed to be secured to prevent a reoccurence during an earthquake. No one, but Tony would agree to take the job because of the liability inherent in the proceedure and the waranty on the work. Tony immediately understood the problem and came up with the solution. His team worked very fast, cleaned up every night and did great work. You can’t even see where the pins were inserted. They filled the holes with grout and matched the color perfectly. They showed up on time and did everything that they gareed to when they agreed to it. I would highy recommend Tony to anyone.
Description of Work:
Tony had to erect scaffolding and insert 6″ long pins into custom granite moulding 25 foot off the ground so that they could be secured from falling down during an earthquake. Any errors in the drilling and insertion could have damaged the moulding. They had to do this to approximately 100 blocks throughout the house.
Tony answered my call immediately, showed up when he said he would, gave a thoroughly professional evaluation of the work that needed to be done, and did not try to “sell” me on what he could do. He actually seemed surprised that I contracted him as quickly as I did, but it was because I was confident that he was the right man for the job, that his price was fair, and that he was not pressuring me to make a decision. His crew arrived exactly when they were supposed to, did what was promised (and, actually, more than I expected), finished a day ahead of schedule, and then returned to backfill the wall the next day as a bonus. Tony kept me informed of every step of the project and made sure I was satisfied with progress and with the end result. I am absolutely delighted with the project and would highly recommend Nexxus to anyone. In fact, my neighbors have already talked to him about some work they are interested in having done. Thanks, Angie, for helping me find these folks!
Description of Work:
Nexxus replaced a failing retaining wall, a cracked driveway, and front steps that were steep, dangerous, and not up to code. They built much more substantial walls with a proper, industrial-grade concrete foundation and rebar supports, replaced the driveway, and built custom steps that are much safer and more usable than the old ones were. They used high-quality materials, were extremely fast and neat, and did a first-rate job. The result is very attractive and a great improvement to the property.
They arrived early each time and also finished early. They were excellent and I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work:
They did two jobs. They first plastered and painted a whole in the ceiling as the result of water damage. For the second job, they did some carpentry work which involved replacing wood steps in the basement.
As newlyweds putting all of our savings into an outdated house in complete disrepair, we were excited but extremely nervous to start the renovation process. I signed up for Angie’s in the hopes of finding a contractor, and I could not be happier with the results. Tony has the incredible reviews for a reason. I truly cannot believe how great the results are, and how quickly Tony and his crew (also great; a bunch of nice, hardworking guys) were able to do a massive amount of work. In 2.5 months, we together took a house that was really a mess and turned it into a great home we feel we can raise a family in. We had a few issues come up of course, and Tony worked through them with us. I really felt like we were on the same team rather than at odds like many business relationships. He cares a ton about our satisfaction and the end result, and you know from the start that it is more than about money to him. I consider him a friend and will 100% do future projects with Nexxus. THANK YOU!!

Tony explained that the repair (application) would not be quite the same (texture) as the rest and that it may be necessary to remove the entire room and painted but they would review when they came for an estimate the following day. When Carlos reviewed the area we discussed the looks and since it was a small area if I wanted to just repair it, he would let Tony know. I agreed to just repair. Tony called with a quote and indicated that they could return the same day for the repair. They returned and when Carlos was removing the old, the area was a little larger that anticipated and after discussing we agreed to continue. When Carlos reapplied the popcorn to the area. The result was great. The look when primed and painted is a very good match to the existing surrounding popcorn ceiling. Both Tony and Carlos were very professional and explained all the details fully. I am very pleased with the service provided.
Description of Work:
Had a small area of a popcorn ceiling that required removal and reapplication.
I first made contact with Tony via email. I was pleasantly surprised to receive back a very thoughtful and detailed response. Most contractors don’t even bother to respond to emails, so this was one-up for Nexxus straight away. The next day I met with the wrought iron fabricator to go over my ideas and requirements for the job so I could get an estimate. That was a Friday. They contacted me first thing Monday morning with an estimate. Although, it came in a little high because of the type of automated gate motors we chose. I OK’d the estimate because after having a few meetings with Tony and various phone conversations, I really felt that he understood what I wanted and really paid attention to the detail. From start to finish, there wasn’t a day I wasn’t filled in as to what the status was on the job. The entire job took 2 weeks INCLUDING 4th of July!!The gates are completely custom and we were even able to modify them on-site. But I barely made any changes because they did such an amazing job off the pictures and drawings I gave them to work from. The large gate turned out absolutely gorgeous, and the pedestrian gate is drop dead amazing; both gates mirror each other. The style is a 1920’s deco holly woodland curves. I highly recommend Tony and Nexxus Remodeling. He totally exceeded my expectations and was awesome to work with. He has great communication skills and I appreciated his upfront and straight forward info on costs and designs.
Description of Work:
Nexxus Remodeling did Wrought Iron work and Electrical work for us. We wanted to replace an existing 15 foot wood gate with a custom designed wrought iron 2 leaf swing gate with electrical motors to automate opening and closing, and a custom designed pedestrian gate. Nexxus Remodeling had our gates custom made, had all the new electrical run to the location of the motors (approx 200 feet of new line had to be run from the house up to where the gate is located) and had the motors installed on custom support stands. Gate was a special install as the location is on an incline and special brackets had to be fabricated so the gates would close without a gap.
These guys were very responsive, were very flexible with my schedule, very prompt and efficient. Got the whole job done in two visits. Very unobtrusive and good quality work. The job was difficult in that they were cleaning up work done by others, but they did a good job of blending in the new work. You have to look really hard to discern that any cover-up work was done and my guess is that will go away with time.
Description of Work:
Repaired exterior wall left unfinished by previous contractors and repaired hole in exterior wall created by plumber.
Tony and Joseph came out to survey the pool area. Joseph was the “expert” for masonry work. They promised to have an estimate to us by the next day and they did. It was sightly lower than the previous estimate I received from another Angie’s List masonry service. I think Tony & Joseph came on a Saturday and they were ready to work on Monday. Their crew was at our home by 7:30 a.m. ready to work. They took only one day to do the demolition and removal of old decking and fencing previously pulled up. Purchased, delivered and installed concrete pavers to match existing pavers. They did not cover the pool which we recently had acid washed and converted into salt water system. The pool was very dirty. Not until the final day of the work, upon request , was the pool reluctantly covered. But that’s not an issue. We were quite satisfied with the work. We are still sweeping away excess sand. We asked the crew to leave a planter around the perimeter of the pool wall. They did but compacted sand was also in those areas. We asked them to remove it and they came out the next day to remove some of it. It was extremely difficult planting in those areas. Overall I would recommend Nexxus. I should have insisted on seeing pictures of their previous jobs-luckily they were a company of their word…but I won’t do it again. The bonus is they were going to create a concrete walkway but we had enough pavers left over so they paved it for us at no additional charge.
Description of Work:
Nexxus removed deck, existing pool surround concrete, laid pavers.
I’ve had plans to remodel for over 2 years, but after the last few experiences I’ve had, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I finally contacted Angie s List and they sent me four referrals. I sent an enquiry by e-mail to each contractor and Tony was the only one to respond on the same day. I called him the next day to discuss the details, and he decided to pay a visit that same day. Overall they moved at a rapid pace and are on track to finish well ahead of schedule. He has a great crew working with him, and they were willing to go the extra mile many times. For instance they helped me hang new light fixtures, and curtains (not the most masculine of tasks, but performed with aplomb in spite of the ribbing). There were a few hiccups along the way, but Tony took it all in stride. He was very good about following up whenever necessary. In the beginning there were a few things on my list that he said would only be accomplished if the budget allowed and if everything went as planned. True to his word, those jobs were performed in the end. Read the reviews of people who have had work done. I found them to be right on target. First rule, you re going to have to trust him. As a previous reviewer said, go with your gut. Second, only call him if you are really ready to start! I had a vague idea of wanting to start within the next few months, but by the time Tony left work was starting within the next 3 days! Third, he’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for. The crew were very reliable and showed up when they said they would. After what I’ve been through in the past, I think it was worth it for the peace of mind. Part of the work included replacing my carpet. Without being asked Tony replaced it with a higher quality of carpet and padding than that which was previously in place. Fourth rule; Tony is in charge of the budget. That means there s no chance of you going over-budget. But it also means you don t get to haggle over every single item. A lot of money is at stake, and Tony bears the risk and costs if things do not go as planned. Fifth, he’s available whenever you need him, and reliable. Things happened when he said they would. And if there was an unavoidable change he let you know immediately. Lastly, trust him. It was nice to feel (more than a few times) that he was looking after my best interests.
Description of Work:
Updated my condo by: Tiling the kitchen and resurfacing the cabinets. Upgrading electricals-installing two new vent/exhaust fans and custom shower doors (2) in the bathrooms. Installing closet organizers in 2 bedroom closets. Removing the acoustic ceiling throughout the unit, painting all interior walls (and closets and doors) with multiple custom colors. Replacing all existing carpet and padding.
Overall very satisfied with results, all work completed in a timely manner, they were punctual and very hard working. The house looks wonderful and we have had many compliments on it’s appearance. The window and door trim look beautiful and the deck is much improved. The new stain on deck looks great with the new paint job on outside of house. Zion and Rafael worked very hard in very hot conditions completing carpentry work to a tight schedule. Removal of A/C in bedroom and repair of wall was done perfectly and there is no sign there was ever an A/C there! Preparation of the outside of house was done in a meticulous fashion. Plastic sheets put down completely around house so everything was clean and tidy. Quality of the paint work was excellent. Carlos and his crew were very hard working and considerate of the fact one of us is a night shift worker who needs peace and quiet during the day. They were very pleasant to deal with. Tony the owner was very attentive and called or came by to check on work most days. Takes great pride in his workers and his reputation.
Description of Work:
Rebuild front deck railing and built new steps to deck, repaired problem areas. Built extension to back deck with step. Built new double gate and fence section in Redwood. Removed A/C unit in bedroom wall repaired the large hole it left,repaired the stucco and inside drywall, patched and painted inside wall. Removed gutters, prepped the house and completely painted house exterior. Built and installed moldings around all exterior doors and windows.
I never had any doubt that Tony would do a top quality job, based on what I read at Angie’s list and on Tony’s own confidence. The only reason I did not choose Tony’s was because of the price. In fact, Tony predicted that his price would be probably higher than others, but that his quality would be the best. He was most likely right, although this is impossible to verify (as I told him), because the same job cannot be done by two contractors to compare. Tony and Zion came the same day I called. Tony called me back a couple of hours later to give me the quote.
Description of Work:
(1) For the hillside part of the deck, add 10 additional floor joists under the floor, cement a few rail road ties to help support the deck. (2) Paint and waterproof the entire deck, including the hillside deck above. (3) Paint one metal door in backyard. (3) In master bathroom (130 sq. ft.), replace the carpet with granite tiles (the seller installed new carpet before the sale).
Tony Panterra promptly came and took a careful look at the existing structure and the city-approved architectural drawings. He seemed knowledgeable and thorough, as well as genuinely interested in the job, but then stopped me on my tracks and said: “Let me tell you, I can consult with my guys and get you a more solid estimate, but I can tell you right now, just from what you’ve shown me, that in construction alone you’re looking at at least $140,000, and that’s not counting all the stuff you’ll have to buy, like appliances, windows, doors, cabinets, countertop and floor.” This meant that, including materials, we’d be looking at easily $180,000. This was the first estimate we had gotten, and I was stunned by the high price tag, but he assured me this was a conservative figure, and said he’d be surprised -and leery- of any estimate significantly below that. When I told my wife and our architect they were equally stunned, as we were expecting something between $75,000 to $100,000 all in, construction and materials. But then we got three more estimates from reputable contractors (1 from Angie’s list) and they all submitted very similar bids, running about $65,000 for construction alone, and between $85,000 to $100,000 for a full package including all materials. We were happily surprised. Like I said, Tony seemed very professional in all other respects, but we did not appreciate the two weeks of sleepless nights his huge “estimate” brought upon us, and felt obligated to warn future prospective customers about what appears to be his practice of throwing out an enormously inflated figure in an attempt to make you feel you are buying something more than other contractors have to offer, while in reality you may be buying into just that, a “feeling,” and nothing more. I just saw his ad in the Angie’s List magazine, where at the bottom, in small print, it says “We do not give written estimates,” and had to wonder why anybody would want to do that. Unless you have money to burn, you should wonder too.
Description of Work:
I originally called them looking for double paned windows, but when Tony mentioned they also did remodeling work I asked them for an estimate on our kitchen/bathroom remodel.
We needed this job done after we refinished our upstairs floors. Tony is the most available and hard working contractor I have ever spoken to! He aims to please. His guys were prompt, responsible and cleaned up after themselves. We also added more to the job as we went, and they promptly bid it and completed that work, too. When I had some questions about the work, he immediately scheduled his painter to come to our house asap. Our house looks much better now that they did this very visible work.
Description of Work:
Nexxus painted the baseboards in the upstairs of our house, as well as walls in other areas. His guys also painted our interior staircase banister spokes as well as sanded and stained the banister rail.
I had some difficulty finding a company that would be willing to paint and polish the concrete flooring hidden under the shag carpet in my dining room. From the second I called Tony, he was very responsive, and made an appointment to give me an estimate within a few days. The cost was high due to the tediousness of the job, but they did a great job and did it right, and it was worth every penny. Tony checked in with me every step of the way, and came out three times to check the progress. He even insisted we put on an extra coat of Palomar when the job was done, because he wasn’t completely satisfied. Tony and his crew are definite perfectionists. I felt in very capable hands during the entire process. He even called to check in with me a few weeks after the job was complete, to make sure I was 100% satisfied. I was, and remain so every time I look at my stunning white polished concrete floor. I could not recommend Tony more highly. He is also fun to have around, which is a definite plus when you are inviting strangers in your house!
Description of Work:
Removed shag carpet in 11′ x 14′ dining room, polished underlying concrete, added Palomar-based paint, added wood mouldings around perimeter of room, painted mouldings to match.
From the first time I called Tony at Nexxus to the time the job was finished was about two weeks. Tony is responsive and the job went smoothly.
Description of Work:
In my backyard I have a deck that overhangs a sloping hill. Over the years the posts and beams supporting the deck have rotted and deteriorated. The surface of the deck was relatively new and was in acceptable shape. I need the understructure to be replaced. Nexxus put up temporary support and removed the damaged posts and beams. These were replaced with new, treated posts and beams.
Tony was very responsive and quite a likeable, charming guy who knew how to pitch his services and quality. We did not get to see his final quality however because his price was obscenely ridiculous. He quoted us $20,000 for the remodel of an aparment bathroom that we later got done for $5000. Tony went so far as to say that his prices were usually four times as much as other contractors and people still use him because he’s such good quality. I am afraid that he probably preys on peoples insecurities and past bad experiences to gouge money out of them. My suggestion, get another quote from a contractor before you hire this guy. There are many other quality contractors out there who won’t charge obscene prices and prey on your insecurities.
Description of Work:
No services were hired. He only got as far as giving us a verbal estimate.
I called Tony and he was able to work within my schedule to arrange for someone to come out and look at what needed to be done. Carlos came to our home prompt to assess the job. Tony called back within a timely manner with an estimate. Which we found to be fair. A time was arranged for the job to start, but I had to change it and Nexxus was willing to work within my schedule. Carlos and his helper arrived on time and completed the job in expeditious manner. They clean up. They were very professional. No problems. Hooray.
Description of Work:
We needed patchwork and repainting to be done in three areas in the interior of the house and one area on the exterior.
I checked Angie’s List on Sunday afternoon for some referrals for General Contractors – Nexxus had stellar reviews so I gave them a call (after calling two other companies that I also found on Angies – I waited to call Nexxus last because I had read that they weren’t the cheapest…at any rate, Tony was the only one to answer the phone and I’m thoroughly glad that he did). I spoke with Tony and within 1/2 hour he had one of his guys (Zion) come over to give us an estimate for the job; minutes after Zion left, Tony called back with his price (which was extremely reasonable – his guys happened to have a couple days free so they gave us a great deal, provided we start the next day! which we did). Bright and early Monday morning, and punctually on time, Zion and Rafael showed up and went straight to work. They were fast, proficient, and by early afternoon had the demolition completely done. They returned the next morning, again on time, and worked all day rebuilding/repairing the walls. They were courteous about reducing the dust/mess as much as possible, hanging plastic between rooms, over furniture, etc., and sweeping/mopping/vaccuming at the end of the day. They just finished this afternoon, the third day of the job, and were here just a few hours today, applying one last layer of mud on the newly built walls. They did a top-notch job, were easy to talk to, always checking to make sure we were happy with the work they were doing and making sure we were satisified. I highly recommend this company – this is our first experience with Contractors, we usually do the work ourselves and we feel so fortunate to have discovered Nexxus. Couldn’t have found them without Angie’s! many thanks.
Description of Work:
We hired Nexxus for some general construction – to knock out two walls in our house. They took out the wall between our bedroom and living room, and between our kitchen and living room, and they were quick, professional and did a beautiful job. They did the demo on the walls and then built them anew with headers to support the newly opened space. Tony’s guys (Zion and Rafael – excellent, both of them) upgraded the electrical in a couple places, and put up new drywall, as well as repaired pre-existing. We are extremely pleased with the work they did – plus, they’re just really nice guys.
I joined Angie’s List after buying a beautiful 1920’s home that needed a variety of work done. I was pleasantly surprised to find a contractor that was able to provide carpenters, finish cabinet makers, install new doors, plaster, dry wall repair, repair hardwood floors, paint inside & out. I was hesitant at first that I would be paying more money to have it all go through a contractor or that the quality of the specialty services would be somewhat less in quality…. I was wrong on both counts. All the work was done to perfection!! The attention to detail was great…. and the convenience of dealing with one person to coordinate & follow through with was the best… & it all cost less that had I used multiple vendors. I must say it was without a doubt the best home repair experience I have ever had. I highly recommend Tony / Nexxus.

I had a variety of services completed; my wood floors needed to be repaired, a door & window needed to be replaced & installed, windows needed lots of work, interior & exterior painting & plaster, custom cabinetry needed to be built to match existing.
Nexxus painted my house a few months ago, & was professional enough to be in the 99th percentile among contractors. They?re a full-service business, so Tony was my first stop when I decided to add a built-in unit to the kitchen. He started by clearly identifying whether I wanted bookcases or cabinet, since the former can be done with less expensive labor, & dispatched a carpenter to assess the job the next day. The carpenter & I had a long conversation about counter height, configuration (I wanted drawers below & shelves above), materials, & the like. He drew a very competent diagram & took a lot of measurements. Tony then called with the price, sent the carpenter a 2nd time to confirm measurements & had his installers deliver the cabinet about a week later. The finished unit was flawlessly sprayed to match my other cabinets, with drawers lined in maple (which I hadn?t expected), suspended on easy-glide rollers, & fronted exactly like the existing ones. Curiously, though, one visible side wasn?t painted. I asked Tony?s guys to paint it & make a few other minor changes, which they politely & cheerfully did. The installation took about 2 hours, & the finished unit looked very impressive. Too impressive, in fact. When they left, I discovered the counter was an inch taller than it should have been. I called Tony, & within 20 minutes, the Cheery Carpenters were back. We decided any solution would require un-installing the whole unit, so I told Tony I could live with it if he?d take something off the price, which he immediately did. A few hours later, I realized the piece was also a few inches deeper than it should have been ? & didn?t have the toe kick the carpenter & I had explicitly agreed to. I will say I was a little annoyed ? $2,000 is a lot for a 2-foot-wide cabinet, & I was surprised it could be off in multiple ways. I called Tony the next morning, & the Cheery Carpenters were in the driveway within an hour. We talked about the issues, called Tony to confirm the fixes, & the CCs spent another half a day executing them: pulling out the unit, adjusting its size & shape, repainting & re-installing it. There was a period when they were literally watching paint dry, yet they never turned on a radio or talked loudly at all. Tony himself stopped by partway through to see where things stood, & advised them to fix a molding that hadn?t been installed neatly. I never found out whether the problem was the carpenter?s measurements, his diagram, or his communication with whoever helped build the unit. But Tony seemed uninterested in laying blame ? he was concerned entirely with making it right. The unit not only fits seamlessly into the previous cabinetry, but if you look closely, actually makes the previous woodwork look a little shabby by comparison. I don?t plan to move for another 50 years, but when I do, the cabinet may be the first thing I take. Well, after my dogs, of course.
Description of Work:
Two months ago, I moved into a 1940s-era house that’s long on charm but woefully short on storage space. The kitchen had exactly 2 drawers, which wasn’t anywhere near enough for spatulas, stirring spoons, hot pads and the 1,001 other tools any cook or baker wants at hand. Fortunately, there was a roughly two-foot-wide, floor-to-ceiling space that would accommodate a unit with drawers, shelves or both. Tony Panterra of Nexxus had his crew build a unit to fit seamlessly into the existing cabinetry – so much so that even my regular visitors don’t notice until I explicitly point it out to them.
This all started with our decks. Tony gave us a flat rate quote based on his master carpenter?s best guess. He must have lost a fortune because what no one could have guessed was that about a third of the deck had been eaten by termites. Once the paint was scraped off, it was a nightmare, but not for us, because Tony stuck to his original quote. We also wanted the roof above our garage fixed because it was leaking. Of course, we used Tony and were impressed enough to move forward with the rest of our ?wish list.? He explained that the more we did at one time, the better the price. You can see the list we came up with! My first clue that this was not going to be a horror show was when I returned to work after the first day of demolition. The office, next to the bathroom that was being remodeled, was hermetically sealed with plastic and there was almost NO dust spill-over. I have never seen such a clean demolition site! The crews were all punctual, polite and responsive. They also all made a fuss of our dog, which really helped the whole process. Tony came round every day, sometimes twice a day, to ensure that things were progressing and to double-check every detail. On one (in retrospect hilarious) occasion, the crew leader had told me that our hood could not be installed. I called Tony in a panic and he flew in like some sort of contractor superhero to yell at the crew leader. ?What should we do?? says the leader, ?Rebuild the house around it?? ?If that?s what it takes, YES,? yells Tony. OK, this might have been a little skit to impress me, but it worked. They figured out a fix and everyone was happy (especially me because I get to retell this story at parties). We only had one bad experience. We had a bad flooring crew. Their work was great, but they were rude, intrusive, lazy and filthy. I sent Tony an email on a Saturday late afternoon and they were fired in the next five minutes. We took the Sunday off and on Monday we had a stellar, brand new crew. Things happen. Tony fixes them. This huge package of work was done in about 7 weeks with very little disruption (considering what construction is always like!) and he even sent in a crew to white glove clean the house after the chaos was over. Even after the clean-up, he wanted to be sure we were 100% satisfied. There were a few dings from furniture moving so, despite my protests that we were more than capable of patching and painting them ourselves, he sent our lovely painter round within 20 minutes to do the 5-minute repair job. (The painters also labeled all the various paints REALLY clearly so that we don?t go through that laborious task of opening everything and looking confused.) You hear horror stories all the time about contractors who rip a hole in the wall and then leave for three months. This will not happen with Tony, because he rides his workers like a lunatic (and they still love him!), and is more of a perfectionist than you are. Really. Trust us.

Phew.
Tony was great. He understood that I had a limited amount of time and organized one of his teams to jump on the job immediately. His workers were highly skilled, fast, and spoke English, which made each of the jobs proceed quickly and without a hitch. Tony himself is nimble and has the ultimate “can-do” attitude. That’s true of lots of contractors, but this guy delivers the goods. Plus, he kinda looks like Robert De Niro so he’s fun to work with. No doubt, if my house (which is a major league architectural) needs further attention he will be the first person I call.

Description of Work:
This was my experience getting an estimate from Tony: I initially asked for a quote for painting, but after a quick conversation, I got a quote for getting a bunch of work done that we’re considering — new roof, hardwood floors and paint. Based on what other roofers told me as well as other hardwood floor guys, Tony did not give me accurate information about some of the reasons repair work was needed — for example, blaming cracked floors on liquid damage when in reality it’s because the floors were refinished too many times and they’re too thin. He was a very aggressive salesman and made me incredibly anxious. Also, I told him our rough budget and he kept trying to push me over it. This is definitely not my style and made me think he still thinks it’s 2005 and I would have no problem pulling equity out of my home to complete his vision. I appreciate his thoroughness and the time he took, but it was a very stressful experience and I would never use him as a contractor because of his “bedside manner.” Makes me also think he’d have no problem selling me the Brooklyn Bridge.
a great experience from start to end and I’d definatly recommend and use tony and his team again. The whole process was quick, efficient and painless.
Description of Work:
we wanted a new picture window installed above our tub in the master bathroom, this required accurate demolition of exterior wall and sourcing materials as well as redecoration
We were super happy with the entire process and outcome. Tony was very straightforward with his quote and how much he needed to charge to get the results we wanted. We’ve done a bunch of other work on the house since we moved in and always went with the cheaper options, which left us with some shotty work and a lot of frustrations. So we decided to just do it right this time and go with Nexxus. Although, Nexxus was more than double another quote we had, we learned that you do get what you pay for. We have a 1920’s house that has been neglected for decades so the windows and woodwork needed A LOT of help. Carlos and his painting team were awesome. Someone was there at 7am everyday and everything was cleaned up as much as possible at the end of each day (and it was a disaster area). Tony called us multiple times a day and he and Carlos were on top of any little request we had to touch up and fix little detailed things. And at the end, Tony offered up that we should hang out in the house for a few days and see if there is anything that we find we want fixed and he would send someone over to help. How great is that? The difference in the experience we had with Nexxus compared to some of the other discount people we?ve hired is literally night and day. We will definitely use them in the future. With all the work and care they put into our old house, they?ve earned a customer for life.
Description of Work:
Complete interior painting (1300 sq ft, 2 bedroom, 1 bath), new hardwood floors installed in hallway, smoothed acoustic ceilings in living room and dining room, installed recessed lighting in kitchen, electrical upgrades, plaster repair, drywall repair, and some carpentry work.
Tony provided us with a very cost-effective solution. We were very impressed with how quickly he responded to phone calls. The job took a little longer than expected, but that time allowed them to do the job right. And, they didn’t increase the price. They were very responsive to our questions and concerns. Tony made every effort to make sure that we were happy with the final product.
Description of Work:
Nexxus Remodeling repaired our outside staircase and deck. They removed all of the damaged wood and braced the entire structure. They replaced one set of stringers, all of the risers and steps, and built an entirely new handrail and banisters. They also stained the entire staircase and deck.
Tony was late to the appointment even though I explained to him when the time was set that I had a dentist’s appointment that day. He assured me that there would be plenty of time for him to do an estimate before I had to leave. His phone rang throughout the time he was here so he had to keep excusing himself to answer it. His estimate was extremely high and he even said that he charged 5 times more than any other contractor, but that he was worth it. I told him that I had gotten another estimate at $10,000 for the job and he said that was exactly what he meant, he charged more. I’m sorry I even called him. I did read on another review for someone else that contractor’s quote extremely high prices when they don’t want the work, so I guess this proves it. I thought that this was a recession and that people would be glad to get a job. Guess I was wrong.
Description of Work:
No services were performed.
The wall was separating from the main house, putting pressure on a gate, making it impossible to open. There was an initial examination of the wall. Multiple options were given to correct the problem. Tony’s recommendation was a cost effective solution, rather than pushing for something that would be overkill. Two days after Tony’s evaluation, one of his employees showed up and secured the wall with L-bracket anchors, repaired the separation, did a detailed job of matching paint with the original color and shaved the gate back so it would open as it should. After 4 weeks I noticed that the gate was starting to stick again and called for someone to come back. Within a few days, 2 additional employees come out to reassess the situation. They found the wall on the opposite side of the gate was slanting as well. They found that the other wall was sitting on top of a sprinkler head that had not been shut off, causing the ground to continuously soften. They again ended up offering multiple solutions, but recommended the one that was the least intrusive. They ended up shutting off the sprinkler head, shaving off more of the gate and repainting. This follow up work was performed without any additional charge.

I really liked them a lot but at that point in time, we weren?t ready to do the project that I had called him out to do. I was really impressed with all the ratings and reviews about him on Angie?s List, and when I called him, he came out immediately to take a look at the project I had in mind. He got me a quote within 24 hours, and was really accessible in terms of finding somebody to do general contracting work – I was really impressed with that. His quote was a little high but I think that was because I was using somebody who was a contractor and not because I was going to the cabinetry person directly. I could appreciate that there was a middle man thing involved there. For the wall unit in the living room, he quoted $9300, and for the wall in the backyard about $3000. I thought that the price was fair. I got the impression from my phone calls with him that quality was really important to him, and he stressed to me multiple times that if I was not happy, he would not be happy and that he would do anything in his power to rectify any situation that may need assistance from him. My overall experience with him was really positive, and when I do need a contractor in the future, I wouldn?t think twice of calling him first to get a bid.
Description of Work:
I used Nexxus Remodeling Inc to give me quotes for 2 separate projects: one was for the wall unit in our living room, and the second was for work in my kitchen and a wall in our backyard.
Great experience, finished in the estimated time given. The crews used were always on time, worked the day and cleaned up after each day. Had a issue with the flooring, Tony made sure it was taken care of the next day. I thought it was very nice that he came every day to check on the work and gave me updates on everything. Some of the closet flooring molding are incomplete but were left like that until I can get the right closet track railing. He is aware of this and I am to call him when I get the parts and he will then get someone to take care of it
Description of Work:
Installed hardwood floors in living room, three bedrooms and hallway. Install new door frame moldings and floor moldings. Painted the rooms. I have two outside decks, they repaired the steps and refinished. Painted the trelis on the smaller deck
Excellent overall. They delivered what they promised and more! Tony’s crew were prompt (always on time, which impressed us a lot), courteous, pleasant to deal with, and responsive (they encouraged us to point out any imperfections even while the work was underway). Now our condo looks brand new! Thanks for the great work.

Went very fast, beautiful work. Description of Work: Demolished a rotting deck, rebuilt a pergola with trellises and a wrought iron balcony. Also installed security screens on other doors.
Everything went very well. They were punctual (sometimes a little early!) professional and clean. They were very concerned that I was happy and satisfied with the work performed, even if it meant extra work for them and additional days. Its not always easy having workmen come into your house every morning, but the guys were always pleasant and respectful, and occasionally funny. I wasn’t happy with the color on the first 2 coats of stain, and they brought in samples and added another layer of a different color and it turned out beautiful. There were a few minor drips, they sanded them and returned a few times to sand and re-stain until I was satisfied it matched with the remainder of the stained windows. I get so many compliments on the windows in my house now and people stop on the street every day to admire the outside of the windows, They have a very rich deep color and look substantial now that they are stained. Nexxus did a great job.

I found this company on Angies List. We bought our home was build in 1961 and we remodeled twice we bought it in 1991. I went to Angies list for a contractor, as I have always had good luck with the service. Tony Panterra, arrived for an estimate on time to the minute. We discussed in detail what I had in mind for the project. I wanted to remove a window in the family room and replace it with two. He suggested I also replace the windows the laundry room and powder room. This was because the south side of the house would have 4 different types of windows. I agreed. I also wanted a smaller window in the lauddry room to accomodate the new front loading appliances. We started the project the following Monday. The electrician came and installed low voltage decorative lighting around the room. Tony ordered the windows. I had to wait 6 weeks for them to arrive. It was not a problem. When they did. He began the installation. It took 5 days. It was interrupted by unexpected rain. The craftsmen are a team. They work for Tony. Do not try to hire them on your own. They are committed to him. They are skilled, courteous, loyal craftsmen committed to excellence. Each day when the left, my home was spotless, with no disarray, no dust. Their work is excellent. The only extra monies I spent were for items I requested as the project unfolded. In fact, I wanted all the electrical outlets and plates replaced when the project was completed. I bought the outlets and plates and asked Tony to send the electrician. Tony said OK. The electrician did the installation the next day . He would not charge me. I would not accept this. I tipped him well. One of the light switches was defective. I had to replace it and a few days the electrician returned to replace it. This is an excellent, well run company. I would highly recommend using it.
Description of work:
They removed three windows, and replaced them with new ones. Installed low voltage decorative dimmer lighting around the family room. Stuccoed outside an inside Painted inside and outside. Painted one wall deep red. It was perfection. In fact all their services were.
I got estimates from 3 different providers. Tony was the most professional and responsive. He even called me on the week end to coordinate the job and get it done speedily. This was very heartening since time was of essence to secure our home. His wrought iron guy, Larry, was fantastic. He came out and inspected the place promptly and their estimate was the best. Larry and Tony made sure that we were completely satisfied with the job. They even made additional modifications (added a bolt) to the grill on the sliding door to make us feel as safe as possible without any unnecessary additional costs. I have done extensive remodeling on my home in the past but have never experienced such superb service. Two thumbs up!

Tony was very helpful from start to finish. He stuck with his written estimate and his people did all of the work we had hired them to do. All of his people were personable and professional. There were many steps to the remodeling we wished executed, and his people followed through on each step. We are very happy with the workmanship and will use this company again when we undertake the next phase of our remodel.
Description of Work:
Nexxus installed four new vinyl windows and two new pre-hung doors. They also installed new hardwood flooring in my living room and dining rooms, and new carpet in my family room and hallway. New moldings were installed in all of these rooms. Interior and exterior painting was also performed.
The project went from a scenario left by the prior contractor which was the most stressful and nightmarish thing you could imagine: no kitchen, out tens of thousands of dollars, open sewer line, bare live wires, and then having to start over at zero, to next fining Tony and Nexxus on Angie’s List. They calmed my nerves, helped me with decisions, kept constant communications and clearly spoke to me in terms I could understand. I had dreamed of a beautiful kitchen but what I ended up with is far better than I could have ever imagined.
Description of Work:
I had hired and paid a top-dollar, high-end custom kitchen design and remodeling firm to give me a new kitchen. After a few months they stopped all contact with me, after only demolishing my old kitchen and roughing in some electrical work. They went bankrupt and I lost all my money. I then found Nexxus and Tony on Angie’s List as being the highest rated in the area. I contacted them and they immediately came out, gave me an estimate and I hired them on the spot due to their professionalism and no BS attitudes. They began work right away and hand-held me throughout the process of design and selecting options. In remodeling my kitchen, they provided custom cabinets, upgraded electrical service, installed custom lighting, custom capstone countertops and backsplashes, and they installed the new appliances. They corrected work started by the prior contractor including interior painting, drywall repair, custom mouldings, other carpentry, and upgraded the plumbing. They also installed a new glass pocket door which I love. Overall, Tony’s management and care of my project, plus his team of top-notch, professional engineers and tradesmen made my project turn from a nightmare into one of the best designed and most beautiful kitchens I could have ever imagined.
Please see above as it details my experience
Description of work:
We were having issues with water drainage on our balconies. I called a couple of the names
on the list and Tony was the only person who not only diagnosed the exact cause of excess water and explained it in the simplest and most intelligent manner, but he was also very ethical in explaining that our problem was actually a design flaw and not something that could be repaired without changing the completed design of our building. While I am disappointed
there isn’t a fix for our balcony/water issues, I am very grateful that Tony has such a high
level of expertise in diagnosing the problem and not trying to take advantage of the situation
by trying to sell us on a costly repair. I would highly recommend Tony to anyone because
he is smart and very ethical.
Very well. I had bad experierces with OTHER contractors before,you know what I mean… being late, never returning calls, etc..dso I was really quite jaded and honest prepared for a repeat of that ..but.. Tony was totally awesome , and was always available by phone and answered every question of concern I had.He came by the house many times prior to staring the job , in order to get things right, and Nexxus approach to things was right on the first try, thus saving time, money and any re-dos.This was very important, because the job was basically to undo and fix the decades of mickey mouse construction done by previous contractors, also. About halfway thru the job, Tony broke his ankle in a car accident, but phoned in daily from the hospital and managed his crew remoted for a few days, then was back on site.! So basically, even though Nexxus is a bit more expensive than some other bids you may get, it IS worth it, both in quality and experience,and the end result shows it.I might add that I am not easy to please ,either, but the end result did exceed my expectations… 🙂 I will be using Tony & Nexxus to redo my kitchen next.
Description of work:
Nexxus remodeling performed the following services with quality , speed and total professionalism:
gutter replacement,exterior painting of whole house,stucco addition and repair,carpentry woodworking to repair /replace rotted out framing and fascia boards,added lighting /electrical,general framing and construction,added new roof.
basically, before I called Tony, the house was a total mess. The gutters were gone, the rafters were wet and rotting, and the roof was pooling and leaking. Tony was responsive and worked within my budget, and togthere we came up with a plan to replace the roof,and do wood repair/carpentry where necessary.They basically corrected all the mickey mouse crap the previous owners had done, so that by jobs end, the house was totally great looking, and ready for the next el nino.
I had hired Tony and his crew a few months ago to install new windows; when my french doors needed work, I called him immediately. I was initially disappointed because I wanted to rehab the existing doors, but Tony strongly recommended against this as it would be throwing good money after bad. I’m so glad we listened to him; the new doors are beautiful and enhance the room in ways we hadn’t imagined. As with the earlier project, Tony and his crew were professional, courteous, thorough, and skilled.

Tony did a great job. He showed up on time and completed the job on budget. We were very happy with the finished product.
Description of Work:
We had to replace the windows on one side of our house, restucco portions of the wall, build a housing surrounding a heating system, and paint the front and side of the house.
I flooded our home, and we were advised by our insurance company, to hire someone to replace the ceiling that was damaged. My husband left messages with three different companies, Tony Panterra, the owner of Nexxus Remondeling, Inc. responded the very same day. He came, gave us a fair estimate and we hired him. The crew he sent to the house was extremely professional, helpful and courteous. The entire ceiling had to be removed. It is a 1925 old English Tutor home and they had to remove the plaster, down to the wood beams. They found at this time that our light fixture was moved and the wiring was installed incorrectly. This was a potential hazard, so we were able to call an electrician and get it repaired immediately. They did such an awesome job on the ceiling, we decided to hire them to replace our roof.
The roof had to be completely removed. Again, they gave us a very fair price and were ready to get started immediately. We didn’t have to worry about getting permits etc, Tony took care of everything! Although he had a large crew working on our home, Tony stopped by each day to make sure all was going well. During one of his visits he noticed that one of our windows was in great need of repair. (It was a sad window) Tony actually had one of his crew members, Francisco build us a new one. He is AWESOME! Francisco custome built a wood 8 pane window on site, installed it, painted it inside and out!!!!! It is the most beautiful window and it fits into the 1925 English Tutor style. It looks like it was an orginal window. Our roof came out beautiful, we couldn’t be happier. They removed all the debri, removed ugly old gutters that were there, and made us very happy customers.
We will definately refer this company to our friends and family. Their skills are remarkable in so many areas. Of course we will call them back again when the occasion arises. Thank you Nexxus, thank you Tony!!!

Description of Work:
They did a great job, as usual. Love these guys. They do the job right, but it does come at a cost. The initial estimate to paint my kitchen was about $700, but then they looked at the ceiling and realized it had oil based paint and had to completely strip it. Cost was higher than expected, $1400, but it was worth it. They did drywall patching, sanding, priming and interior paint. I would definitely recommend Nexxus. They are professional, friendly and very good at what they do.
I read the reviews, both the positive and the negative, and decided that the negative was about the personality and not the quality of the work. I personally thought that Tony’s personality was wonderful. He worked with my tight schedule. He did ask lots of questions because he was interested in what I wanted and not what he thought I should have. When that was determined, then we discussed the price. He gave me prices for the various materials that I could have chosen based on what I was looking for and my budget. The house is a modified “Steinkamp” and I am trying to retain as much of the original craftsmanship as possible. I chose to do fewer windows and to respect the integrity of the structure. Nexxus mitered the window corners beautifully which is why I decided to stain the wood instead of painting it. Why hide wood under paint when it looks great. My husband and I are very pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of Tony and his staff. Would we use him again? Without a doubt.

I called Tony for an estimate to touch up and paint the exterior and interior of my house. He was upfront about his prices over the phone and was even willing to put me in contact with other providers who could do the job for cheaper. Judging from the other reviews and from talking to him over the phone, I would have loved to work with Tony, but he seemed to be out of my price range.

Ever since we have moved in I was unhappy with the ?cottage-cheese stucco? and cold grey color of our house. We finally decided to take the plunge and go ahead and do something about it. After searching Angie?s list, I found just a few providers who seemed worth checking out ? we wanted a reliable, high quality company that would finish the job in time and make it look perfect. I immediately took a liking to Tony from Nexxus Remodeling after reading through the reviews and his comments. (We did get a couple of other quotes but heard nothing that changed my mind.) I am so glad we did! The house looks gorgeous and we had nothing but a great experience with him and his crew.
Tony and his crew ended up doing the following: Sandblast all stucco on our main house and the two-story guest house, putting on new stucco, painting the exterior walls, and painting all exterior windows, gates, doors, fascia, etc. This also included re-framing windows which had some unpleasant looking vinyl frames around the original frames, removing and replacing outside lights, taking the gutters on and off, taking off old pipes and electrical wires, and doing some plumbing upgrades.
More importantly for us, though, we did not need to take care of anything ? Tony gave us a fixed price and promised to deliver a house within about a month that looked like new. And so he did! I should also mention that he was extremely patient (I am a worrier and asked a lot of questions since we had some bad experiences with contractors in the past), came every day to the
job to make sure everything was done well, was always available (as in answering the phone or calling me back within 5 minutes, including evenings and weekends). And did I mention he fixed the windows after we decided we want the vinyl off (based on his advice) without an extra charge?
Tony had some great crews, friendly, polite, professional, and punctual as well. His man-for-everything, Francisco, came often, and took care of all the unfinished details, big and small. The sandblasting was very noisy and dusty, but the sandblasting and the stucco crews took great care to clean up our and our neighbors? yards and houses. The painter brothers, Dave and Wayne, did a great job as you can see from the pictures.
So, in summary: great quality work, done on time and budget, by a professional and friendly Tony and his crew. We could not be happier with the results.
Update: We needed to have a trellis installed and called Tony – he sent over Francisco and Panchito, who did the job quickly and very well, at a small charge. I was happy he helped us with such a small job! Tony also sent over his painter crew to patch up the exterior paint that had received some damage from the landscapers – at no charge. As you can imagine, we are happy customers. Everything looks great.

First off, this is my first Angie?s List review. My wife and I have been Angie?s List members for years, long before we finally undertook our duplex remodel project beginning in 2014. In the years leading up to the remodel, we utilized Angie?s List to narrow down our search for contractors?interviewing over 30 general contractors/firms between 2010-2013 based upon the well thought out reviews of members like yourselves. We were in no rush, and we were working furiously to save up enough money to undertake this massive project: a complete remodel/restoration of a 5,100 sq/ft duplex built in 1930. We were looking for someone that would give us an honest appraisal of the work of ahead of him; someone who valued our input and wasn?t constantly trying to low-ball the contractor who came before him. Having some background in construction, I had a good idea of the challenges/problems that lay ahead of us, but I would play dumb in these aforementioned contractor bid interviews?only giving the prospective GC my vision of the completed project. I wanted to see what they thought they?d encounter and how they would contend with unforeseen problems inside the walls of this 90 year-old duplex.
Time and again, every GC or his firm bid representative would down play the challenges ahead, giving my wife and me an entirely unrealistic low bid proposal with the caveat that ?we would sort out the additional costs in the end.? They all seemed more concerned with what other firms I was speaking with and subsequently bad-mouthing and low-balling their competitors offers. Furthermore, they all called incessantly after the first meeting despite my repeated pleas of ?not interested.? The only exception to this sad re-occurrence was Tony at Nexxus.
While Tony may look more the part of a ?50s hot rodder than a general contractor, don?t let looks deceive you. On his initial visit, Tony did not try to pitch me on Nexxus from the get go; rather, he listened to my vision and then proceeded to walk with me (room by room) for over 2 hours, detailing his thoughts as well as the perceived challenges he thought may lay ahead. Additionally, he did not care to ask who I?d spoken with previously, nor did he try to give me an offer immediately upon finishing our long tour. Instead, we sat down and discussed things in detail, and agreed upon a preliminary per sq/ft cost proposal. Tony was the only contractor willing to do this?to agree to a completed vision on a per sq/ft basis, regardless of the unforeseen problems ahead of us. Sure, it wasn?t the cheapest offer by a long shot, but it was the only offer that was plausible, without hidden costs, and borne out by Tony?s thorough demonstration of his building knowledge and past experiences with similar structures. Two additional meetings and an 18-page contract later, we began an epic yearlong journey with Tony and his team at Nexxus. It was the best decision my wife and I ever made.
The Project:
I detailed much of the work in the section above, so I?d like to speak to what it?s like working with Tony and his crew at Nexxus. We all come across the horror stories associated with contractors, and reading countless reviews on-line only heightens the apprehension involved in finally committing to one. Granted, there is a continual give-and-take with your GC, and it something that you want (albeit, there are days you?d rather be left alone). Signing the dotted line with Tony was the equivalent of entering a close-knit relationship overnight. There wasn?t a day that passed where one of us didn?t call each other. Even when Tony?s not available, he?s available?he returns calls from out of country if need be.
On every aspect of the project, Tony consulted us multiple times. When questions came up, he phoned us immediately. If some unforeseen challenge required a change in direction, he contacted us before going ahead. His entire mission is making sure you are happy with the finished product. When things did not pan out or look like my wife and I wanted, we always had a discussion about it. No detail was too small or insignificant for Tony. We never got into fights or yelling matches. Tony would come over at night, and we?d walk through our issues together. There would be a give and take for several minutes and we always came to an agreed upon solution that satisfied all parties involved. Most of the time, Tony himself would catch something he didn?t like and make his crew rip it out and start over; knowing full well that every time he did that, he was losing money on his end. It speaks volumes about Tony?s character and his pride of workmanship. He will not put his name on an inferior product.
The Final Product:
We waited 6 months to place a review because we wanted to see whether all aspects of Tony?s work stood the test of time. Needless to say, they did! We have not had a single issue or problem in the months since completing the remodel. If we had, they would have been resolved already as Tony has called several times to check-in with us and see how we were doing. As I noted in the section above, he even sent his crew over (free of charge) to touch up paint and adjust some fixtures after we had moved in and dinged up a few walls.
In conclusion, I can?t say enough good things about Tony and his crew at Nexxus. A huge remodel is a stressful, foreboding undertaking, and I can?t imagine having made it through to the other side without Tony. Sure, he won?t be the cheapest bid out there, nor will he try to be. You get what you pay for in this industry, and if you want top-notch, high-quality work and customer service, then you shouldn?t look any further Nexxus. Tony and his team continually exceeded our expectations, going above and beyond the letter of the contract to make sure things were just right and to our liking. Lastly, if you?re considering Nexxus for a remodel of an older home/duplex, my wife and I would be happy to show you around with Tony on hand. We wouldn?t normally open our home to strangers, but we are eternally grateful to Tony, and we owe him as much for all he did for us. Going with Nexxus will be the best decision you ever made. Guaranteed.

Inspections: Tony and his team at Nexxus always made sure that a supervisor was present when a city inspector came through, and at no point was our massive duplex remodel ever slowed or stalled due to code non-compliance or shoddy workmanship. We never encountered even the slightest hiccup when it came to being in compliance with the different inspectors that showed up to the job site. Having worked in Los Angeles for years, Tony knows the inspectors that show up to his site, and when you see them interact, it becomes plainly obvious that there is a level of respect and camaraderie present that one would be hard pressed to find elsewhere in this field.
haven’t had much luck with contractors in the past. When I bought my house 5 years ago and remodeled most of the inside, I tried to keep the cost down and a couple of years later I started to feel that I should have invested a little more to begin with. So when a few months ago I decided to look for a contractor, I thought to prioritize quality over price.
I started looking everywhere and signed up on Angie’s List and researched for a while. A few placed seemed legit, but none had the constant positive reviews that Tony at Nexus Remodeling had. I watched all the very informational videos on his website and also looked him up on Yelp. I found that that the only negative reviews were from people who hadn’t used him because they thought he was too expensive (how can you review someone if you haven’t used his services). The people who wrote positive reviews would mentioned the higher quote but they always, without exemption, said that it was worth every penny. My review will be one of those.
I called Tony and left a message. He called me back within the hour and came by as soon as he could. We walked through the house, I showed him everything. Tony was extremely friendly and had some really great and creative ideas about the Juliet Balcony and the stucco. He gave me an estimate in minutes of $20,000 ($25,000 using elastomeric paint) and that the work would take three weeks. At first I was a bit taken aback by the fact that it wasn’t a detailed and typed estimate breaking everything down. Tony told me that he didn’t work like that, but he assured me that there wouldn’t be any surprise additional cost whatever happened (unless I decided to add work of course) and that he would stay within the three week time frame.
After requesting quotes from other contractors, it took me almost two weeks to make my decision and I was expecting to get calls from Tony pressuring me to go forward with the job, but he never acted as a salesman and was always very gracious, understanding that it was a big expenses and that he wanted to be sure that I was 100% to go forward. I knew in my gut that I could trust him and his work. So I called him and told him I accepted his offer.
The day they started, Tony introduced me to Abraham who was gonna his lead guy. Abraham and his team were also very respectful as well as very talented at his job.
Tony came by everyday and had a great eye for detail. He always had my interest in mind and if anything was a bit off, he had it fixed right away.
I needed to add some indoor painting to what we had already agreed to and Tony very kindly worked with my budget and gave me a great discount on the additional work.
Everything was done perfectly in the timeline he gave me and I know that any fix up that needs to happen, I can call him and his crew will be over in no time.
I highly recommend Tony and his team for their trustworthiness, knowledge and craftsmanship.
All my neighbors were truly impressed with the work and two of them asked me for his contact info.
Tony is now my go to guy.
Description of Work:
I was looking for a Contractor because I needed a lot of different jobs done to my house. It was important to me that whoever would do the repairs would do an amazing job that would last for years.
The work Needed:
– The stucco on the outside was falling off the walls mainly because it had been poorly applied.
– I needed a wrought iron Juliet Balcony built and installed
– Some electrical work
– Outdoor Paint (using Elastomeric Paint)
– Drywall repair, Plaster repair
– Indoor paint
– Refinishing doors and windows (carpentry work)
– Antique Door polishing and staining
This was not the first time I worked with Tony and his crew. I had major restoration work done about 5 years ago for over $100,000. I thought I was finished for at least 10 years since everything seemed to have been either upgraded or repaired. Was I wrong! A window started to leak. Not a small leak, it was as if there was no window at all. My first instinct was to get through the rainy season by sealing the window. Then each window in succession started to show small leaks. I called Nexxus Remodeling and spoke to Tony. He came over assessed the situation, gave me advice, and I was not thrilled at all. The cost was shocking. I only wanted to replace the living room windows since I have 24 windows, 2 of which are picture windows. He went along with what I wanted which was to leave the stained glass windows in the kitchen alone and do them later. He started the process, I changed my mind, added more windows, and eventually had all of them replaced. It was a long process since this started in January during the rain plus I changed my mind which stopped work until the rest of the windows came in. I cannot repeat all the details about the process of window replacement but it is a process that has a timeline that cannot be rushed if done correctly and I could not be happier. They even had to re build an entire wall due to major termite, dry rot, and every kind of rot one could think of. Francisco guided the process with a talented group of guys. I have plantation shutters on the majority of the windows which are only 5 years old. They were preserved and able to be attached again. I also added a few other items to be done around the house which were accomplished. Tony was available at all times during the entire job. I had no doubt about the quality but every once in awhile I would need reassurance everything I wanted was going to being done. Tony was available. It is rare to have someone so committed to the process and outcome. Bottom line, Nexxus Remodeling comes through with attention to detail and consideration of the homeowner. There may be times you want to scream and do, but Tony and his team will always keep the homeowner in mind and do their very best.

We initially contacted Tony because he worked on a friend of ours. We needed essentially a full remodel of a new home, complete with a brand new kitchen, bathrooms and floors. We hired him because of the referral. Despite having a phone from 1992, Tony is very good about responding to phone calls and texts. E-mailing, however, is pointless. If you can deal with that, and his somewhat gruff demeanor, he’s trustworthy and honest, qualities that actually matter. The work in our place was extensive. We needed a brand new kitchen (cabinets, appliances, countertops, floors, vent, etc.) , two brand new bathrooms (shower enclosure, tile, bathtub, vanity, fixtures), new floors throughout, doors, door hardware, moving laundry hookups, upgrading to a tankless water heater, and lighting. We also ended up adding in removing a beam, enlarging two picture windows, and replumbing portions of the house. Tony gave us an aggressive timeline, but that was delayed by several weeks. Like all things in construction, things rarely happen on-time, so if you accept that reality, you’ll be happy for it. We got into some small disagreements about the timeline, but never did I believe he didn’t have our best interest at heart. Even after everything was finished, he kept calling me to make sure we were happy, and asked if there was anything more to touch up.

As a few things popped up, Tony was very good about providing us with alternatives that were less expensive and actually turned out great! He uses crews that are all punctual and take special care around house. Very clean workers.
Tony performed foundation work (concrete), as well as painted entire interior of home and also complete plumbing and electrical upgrade.
I had a bid from another company, but Tony gave me more confidence that I’d get what I wanted. He even talked me out of a few of my more outlandish (and EXPENSIVE) ideas. In the end, he was dead right. The crews all showed up on time – and even early. There was not one day that someone didn’t show up. Tony oversaw the entire job and called every day to check on how it was going. I even had a bay window with really ugly tile. It was not mentioned in the estimate. I asked Tony how much he would charge to retile the window area – he said nothing. The workers were very careful with my two dogs (another plus for me). When Tony gave me my estimate, he said the job would be finished around Christmas. He finished a month early. How many nightmares had I heard about contractors taking forever to finish jobs. That is one of the main reasons I had avoided remodeling. The finished project is better than I imagined. I couldn’t be happier to have done this.
Demo old kitchen, including removing walls. Complete remodel of kitchen, installed new custom cabinets. Installed CaesarStone counter tops, plumbing upgrade and repair in kitchen, tiled kitchen floor in slate. Complete electrical upgrade and new lighting fixtures throughout house including chandelier, built laundry room with shelves, painted entire interior of house and repaired and refinished hardwood floors.
They were an incredible help to me today. While they weren’t right for me on the commercial side for our first store we are trying to open (they only do residential), Tony was willing to advise me and refer me to the right people.
Tony helped with a remodel at my house in Northridge. His service was fantastic and he went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Nexxus remodeling for any home repair or remodel you need done. I’ve also seen other jobs Tony has done and the work was stellar. His service was fantastic and he went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Nexxus remodeling for any home repair or remodel you need done.
I found Carlos through a friend who found Carlos through YELP. I am happy to write that he and his crew (Hugo and Oscar) did a great job painting my townhouse. They were punctual (even early some days) and professional In addition to a great paint.
These guys are good. Ran into them at a North Hollywood, CA jobsite and Culver City (ima carpenter and installer ..by the way). I didn’t talk much to Carlos, but did meet his crew. pretty cool guys.
I called Carlos back to do some finishing work and accent walls and once again, A+++ all the way! Efficient, professional, amazing!! I also asked him to come back once more to do some touch up work and as promised, he came back to touch up a few more things.
They were an incredible help to me today. While they weren’t right for me on the commercial side for our first store we are trying to open (they only do residential), Tony was willing to advise me and refer me to the right people. I can’t thank him enough. Completely
I was in need of a roof for my house & garage. Tony & his crew came through and performed the work professionally/timely. I could not be happier with my new doors and cool roof. It does seem to help with keeping the temperature down…
