Erin L. says, “We will def hire them again should we need some more work around the house.”
Quintin M. says, “All of the contractors they used were professional and clean; I trusted all of them in my house. Plus Tomer and Yaniv did a fantastic job managing all the work so that we only had to make some small decisions here and there. The pricing was fair and they were very easy to work with. I will use them again should something else come up!”
Richard Quinn says, “Christian and Escalante ATX did great work installing a new roof, deck, & patio at our house! They completed the entire project in a very reasonable timeframe. Christian was extremely helpful working with the insurance company and always communicated where the projects progress until completion. His crew was friendly and courteous throughout.”
Bob says, “Hired Trivium Management for a project at my house and Jacob did a great job. He was easy to work with, kept me in the loop the whole time, and showed up when he said he would. The work turned out exactly how I wanted it. Definitely recommend Trivium Management if you need someone reliable who does quality work.”

Shane R. says, “He and his crew came over and solved a bunch of complicated trim issues on my soffit and house. He followed through on every commitment he made and his workmanship beat my expectations by a mile. I highly recommend him.”
Katie L. says, “While he was here, he asked if there was anything else around the house that needed to be addressed, and the laundry list followed! From ceiling fixtures to a toilet replacement and a few other projects, Ruben and his team were able to take care of my initial repair along with the other things that had been piling up over the years because I didn’t have a trusted go-to for home repairs. The entire team was friendly, professional, and efficient, and they left my home incredibly clean when they were finished. I would 100% recommend Ruben and his team and will definitely be using them again in the future. It’s such a relief to finally have a trusted go-to home repair team!”
Rey G. says, “He left the work area clean and finished in a timely manner. We will be using him again very soon.”
James Winwood says, “Then came a simply spectacular remodel of the bathroom that turned it into the best looking room in the house. It is now modern and beautiful. They also removed and replaced aging electrical fixtures. They would send us pictures each day to show us the progress they had made so we were kept up to date about the work they were doing. We are completely pleased with their level of communication during the project, and more than happy with team's final result. They were professional, on time, and on budget. We plan on using them for the rest of our remodeling tasks in the future.”
Jenny Paul says, “We had a low ceiling from an air-conditioning vent that we have been wanting raised since we moved into the house six years ago. We have had several quotes over the years with many thinking that it was not possible to be done. This crew came in, verified that it was possible, and did it within the timeframe they projected. On top of it, they cleaned the entire area afterwards. We have already asked them to do another painting project for us!”
