This review is long overdue (and long itself, sorry).Eagle Pride Construction completed our kitchen remodel in December of 2019 with Jessie as our foreman. I'm finally getting to this review after I overloaded a circuit and had some concerns with our electrical panel (installed by others). EPC stands behind their work and fixed our problem within 24 hrs. The issue ended up being a faulty breaker not helped by my overloading a circuit, likely not due to work by EPC, but they replaced the breaker immediately and free of charge regardless.The Short-ish…I would have no hesitation using EPC again if I was in need of a GC. EPC performed the design, structural engineering, permitting, the kitchen remodel itself (structural + exterior, windows, tiling, relocating drains below slab, etc). We were tight on budget, so I did the demo, re-insulation, painting, and re-installed our laminate to save some money. Aside from a delay I place on the City of Ventura's permitting office, EPC delivered a beautiful kitchen within a rigid timeline before the birth of my son.EPC worked with our budget and delivered as quoted aside from a change order for additional work requested outside the original agreed upon scope. The engineering for the structural work likely cost more than quoted and some small changes I requested throughout added labor costs. The change order was reasonable and did not seem to offset these extra costs likely incurred by EPC.The Long... Bid & Design:EPC was the third quote we received; all three quotes were higher than what we had originally budgeted, with EPC's quote in the middle. Just like the other two, we told Gary our budget and what we envisioned. Unlike the other two, Gary was straight forward in telling us the work requested is more than our budget would allow, but offered some areas where we could save money. There was zero pressure for us to sign any agreements after the estimate.I did opt for separating the design, engineering and permitting apart from the construction bid given our tight budget. The design price was competitive and we could have gotten bids for the approved plan set from other contractors. A good chunk of the project cost was addressing the structural issues from a previous homeowner's unpermitted remodel.EPC worked with us, modifying the scope and I did some of the work in order to get us to a price we were comfortable with. The allowances for owner purchase-contractor install were accurate. We did spend extra on natural stone for the backsplash, but there were plenty of options within allowance. We selected a composite quartz countertop from EPC’s showroom at a competitive price and still looks great.The design process was collaborative, Gary listened to our quirks and offered his own design tips. Now, after two years of use, I really can't think of a single thing I wish were different other than just spending the extra money to replace the living room windowConstruction:After the city’s permitting delay, work moved forward with a tight deadline. Our son was due late Dec and I completed demo mid-Oct. EPC completed the kitchen by mid-Dec. I worked on completing the pre-agreed upon final painting, re-flooring, etc. as time allowed. Given the scope, EPC was efficient in meeting our hard deadline.I made minor changes to the design throughout, and anticipated a change order on some but the only one change order when we decided to address some drywall work in the living room and electing to have EPC install the floor tile (I was originally going to complete). They worked while we were away as requested and left the area tidy and clean to where my pregnant wife and 2 year old child weren’t breathing in dust or finding sharp objects to play with.I worked closely with Jessie (foreman) who was always available if I had questions and on rare occasions come over in the evening to meet me. I probably annoyed the heck out of both Gary and Jessie, as I can be quite particular, but they didn’t show it if I did.Services: Tile work installation, Install flooring, Design, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Plumbing fixture installation, Drywall repair, Flooring

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

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

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

Gary, Jessie and Crew at Eagle Pride Construction have done a great job on our Master Bedroom and Kitchen Remodel.

The quality of the work is great. We are very pleased we chose to go with EPC.Services: Paint indoors, Refurbishment, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Repair flooring

We highly recommend Gary and his company Eagle Pride Construction for remodeling your home. We had a major renovation of our home (every room in the house had something done), and Gary and his folks were consistently professional, did quality work, and always made sure we were completely satisfied. We had an issue with the replacement of our front doors (door company, not EPC), and even though he didn't have to, Gary went to bat for us and ensured we didn't incur any additional expenses even though the door company wanted to charge us extra. Costs stayed within the estimates, and the job was completed on schedule. We couldn't be happier with our overall experience with EPC.

Our experience with Gary and the EPC crew was wonderful. Our house in Oxnard had significant leakage and water damage over several years. Gary outlined the remediation program, gave us a firm quote and provided a date to start the project. Everything was completed according to the plan. Our neighbors were so satisfied with the courteous crew and great workmanship, they hired EPC too. I highly recommend Gary and EPC.Services: Paint indoors, Refurbishment, Painting, Repair water fixtures, Waterproofing, Exterior painting, Drywall installation, Drywall repair

From the beginning, Gary and Jesse worked with me and offered up great ideas and fixes as well as respectfully listening to my wants on the remodel of my tiny deteriorating 30+ year-old kitchen. EPC replaced a leaky window - the new one is beautiful with an added shelf made from the same granite as my new countertop. The white Shaker cabinets and details from EPC are beautiful. During the process, Gary sent me to a wonderful stone and tile place for the countertop and the final effect is amazing. The kitchen somehow makes my whole downstairs look bigger, more airy, and light. It is a transformation BIG time! I am so grateful to EPC for their expertise, great workmanship, and great customer service.Services: Painting, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Drywall repair

March 2018...My husband and I found Eagle Pride when we asked three contractors to renovate our condo. Gary was on time and we both felt when he left he was the guy for the job. He's a x Navy seebee, as my father was, so I knew he had years of construction background ( for those of you who don't know, a seebee is a contractor for the Navy. They have a "can do" montra and Gary embodies that). Gary and his team came when they said. Finished when they said. Cleaned up daily and their work was perfect. We would recommend Eagle Pride with more stars if we could. Definitely get a bid from them and know these guys are the real deal. They are who you are looking for to do your job. Inside or outside. They do everything you would need. One stop shop.

Gary, the owner is amazing and we SO appreciate how thorough he was when discussing our project. He truly knows his stuff and puts you at ease through the process. He is just the most pleasant person to be around and their work is absolutely stunning. Veteran owned and operated as well. Thanks EPC!

Can't say enough about EPC's professionalism. They didn't just do a good job they did a specular job. The job was big, I remodeled my entire home to my liking... I say to myself daily, "I love this house" Thank you EPC. Say hello to your team for me...they are the best.Service: Remodeling

I called this company and asked if they could help with a job in my kitchen. A rep called me back and scoffed "I have no interest in doing that. Why can't your handyman do it?" and they hung up on me... Not sure why they were being so rude, and I don't typically post public reviews, but this is probably the rudest interaction I have ever had with a company. Beware. (and yes, I have the right company - the phone number matched that of the owner, Gary)
