TESTIMONIALS
From previous clients in Long Beach, Palos Verdes, Huntington Beach, and Newport Beach

“After discussions with Zieba about design ideas and budgets we agreed to hire them to come up with create designs and they came back with three options. Ultimately, we merged some of the ideas from each of the options and came up with our design. With the design completed Zieba submitted a bid that was in line with our budget, and we hired them for the construction which was started in the beginning of September and scheduled for completion 4 months later.
The construction was completed on time and on budget & we are thrilled with the changes made to our home. Our experience from start to finish was exceptional including the design work, communication, execution, professionalism, and craftsmanship of the construction. Additionally, they were patient with us, never got frustrated with our endless questions or need for handholding & they were even fun to work with.”

“We are repeat clients of Zieba Builders because they deliver every time. From the design process through the entire project, Zieba’s crew is professional, reliable, smart, and highly skilled. We’ve been very fortunate to retain their services again and again.”

“You did it Zieba Builders! You hit a Grand Slam in my book! This being my first remodel, I was initially very nervous, due to so many horrible stories I have heard from friends and their experiences with their contractors. The common complaints were: project delays, no-shows for days and lack of communication with their builder. In contrast, my experience was just the opposite. From the beginning of planning to the end of completion it was way beyond my expectation. Through the whole process I was pleasantly surprised at how little stress I experienced.

All of your Zieba employees and subcontractors worked every day from morning to evening and were extremely professional, showed pride in their work and at the end of the day the property was left extremely clean. Now, everyone who enters my house, especially since I live in a historical area, are blown away by the end results and comment on the quality and attention to the craftsmanship. I can’t thank you enough Zieba “Team” for making my dream finally come true.”

“Zieba Builders clearly understood what our architect designed and brought it to life. The added value that Zieba brought was their experience in design that was needed to ensure that the interior aesthetics were consistent with the overall design of the house.

The other quality that we found to be extremely important was that, for the most part, the project stayed very close to the projected budget. When we did stray from the budget, it was due to us upgrading our finishes from our earlier decisions.”

“My home is over 100 years old and in an historic district. Any new construction needed to maintain the integrity of the original building; so expanding the footprint of the original structure to accommodate a modern kitchen required the right contractor, someone who is current with today’s materials, and techniques, and yet respects the beauty and detail of an older home.
In Joe Zieba and Zieba Builders, I found a design-build contractor who was able to blend these two constraints perfectly. He and his team have an exceptional eye for detail and a love of craftsmanship, and are able to execute on both.
Zieba and his design team came up with a 160 sq ft addition that seamlessly melds the conveniences of a modern kitchen with my 1912 home. I now have a beautiful kitchen with all the modern touches which feels like it was always part of the house.
I cannot say enough good things about Zieba Builders. Everyone on the team was polite, knew their job, and was professional. The bid was detailed, fair, and accurate. There were no surprise charges, and the timing of the billings followed the schedule exactly, which made for easy budgeting.
My new kitchen is a showpiece. The quality and craftsmanship of the work is the same as one would find in the finest houses in the country.
Zieba Builders have exceeded my expectations on all fronts. I highly recommend Zieba Builders to anyone considering a construction project.”

“My wife and I had a great experience working with Zieba Builders in creating our dream kitchen. The owner Joe Zieba always made himself available. The quality of their work really showed. It was great working with their interior designer who helped us choose finishes and light fixtures. Any questions or concerns were always addressed thoroughly. We have worked with other contractors in the past who were not always responsive, and did not take the care that Zieba Builders did. We knew that for our kitchen, we wanted quality work without the headaches of having to stay on top of a contractor to make sure the work was done timely. We would highly recommend Zieba Builders to anyone looking for a quality and professional contractor. Zieba Builders takes pride in their work and it shows.”

“Joe, Karen, and their whole team were wonderful to work with (especially the project manager and our designer Kelly). We did a whole house remodel top to bottom and had to be remote for 50% of the time. We never felt like that was a challenge at all. They communicated well when we were on East Coast, and we always saw the progress they promised when we were in town to follow the work.

Their suggestions for design and materials were always in step with the products and decisions we were making on the project, and most important the quality of their work was exceptional. Joe worked within our budget and worked with us on any changes we introduced or the project demanded..we never felt surprised by any aspect of the project or the finances. I can’t say enough about the attention to detail that was carried throughout the project.

And I can’t say enough about the quality of the people on their team..truly a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend them.”

– M. Voytilla

“Working with Zieba Builders was an absolute pleasure. Our 1920’s Spanish Revival home was in dire need of a full kitchen remodel. Our goal was to stay in keeping with the original 1920’s art deco design yet bring in many of today’s modern amenities.

After collecting magazines, photos, and concepts for over a decade, we presented the Zieba Builders team with our collection of ideas. It was amazing how they breathed life into these ideas and made them all a reality”
– R. Delatorre

“Exceeded expectations. An architect, my brother, reported exterior woodwork was furniture quality. Top quality throughout. Joe is familiar with craftsman architecture -a plus dealing with the historical committee. He suggested several changes that were great improvements.

Very professional staff: promptly returned all calls, [the] team swept entire second floor prior to leaving at end of each day, excellent craftsmanship, no hassles with city inspectors or historical committee (unlike some neighbors). How does the value of the work compare to the price? I got more than my money’s worth.”

– T. and C. Horan

“We did a lot of research before choosing Zieba Builders for our kitchen remodel. This was no simple gut and switch. We took out supporting walls, moved doors, and flipped the kitchen from one side of the house to the other. Throughout the process, we could not have been more happy with Zieba Builders. This is why:

-They worked with our vision to design our dream kitchen, not their dream kitchen.
-They made sure we were comfortable every step of the way, including helping us set up a temporary kitchen in the garage including making sure the garage sink was clear before we started using it.
-They started and finished the project on time 🙂
-Amazing considering Covid hit right in the middle of the job.
-Every crew, both Zieba’s own workers or subcontractors were completely professional
-Arrived and left on time
-Cleaned the worksite at the end of each day.
-Took the time to explain what they were working on daily
-Took our suggestions and minor changes in stride with a smile.
-Identified minor errors in the work and corrected them even before we
had a chance to bring them up.
-Respectful of our space, never entering our half of the house without
permission.
-Price was competitive
-They weren’t the cheapest, but were competitive with similar quality construction, and as far as I am concerned worth every penny
-Since construction ended, we have had a few very minor things come up and Joe and his crew have been super responsive in resolving those issues promptly.

We would use them again in a heartbeat!”

“I can’t begin to tell you how much we love Zieba Builders! In an industry where it feels like a constant push/pull between client and builder, Zieba takes away any of those feelings and replaces them with constant communication, first class quality, and unparalleled design. For what is usually a very unpleasant process of remodeling, Zieba made it effortless and they got us back in our house a week EARLY. You are in good hands with everyone at Zieba.”
