    Full bathroom remodel

    “I have the bathroom I wanted.”

    Transcript of the video review from Mark

    My name is Mark [last name] and uh they hired Volcano to come in and completely gut and redo my bathroom uh to my design. My first impression of Volcano was I would probably say when Raphael came in, introduced himself and we started talking through the options, he knew what he was talking about. I could tell that he was fairly flexible in how they work. I also knew the he really knew his answers down pat. So, you know, I got assurance that, well, he could do the job. And early on, you know, I knew that I could trust the guy and and that's critical for me in a job like this. I have to be able to trust the people I'm working with. And that became very apparent very early on. And and that's what kind of sworn me over to go with Volcano. Hasn't changed. There were a whole bunch of challenges along the way. Um joists don't line up. The way the piping had to go, you know, was a bit of a debate. There were questions like how do we do the texturing on the ceiling? so it matches. I made a mistake at one point in terms of what I wanted the wiring to be. Um, so we had to go and uh reroute that. But every step along the way, there was a solution. We got through it. There were no problems that weren't overcome. What I liked about working with Volcano is I have the bathroom I wanted. Yeah. Plus, you know, it I mean it it did did take a while, but I also was very very picky and, you know, I was able to, you know, have them come, you know, at a cadence that allowed me to continue to make decisions over time. I was never pushed to make a decision too fast. And it there was never too long a delay. That wasn't my fault. So, um, the timing was really good. Yeah. Uh, if you're thinking about redoing a bathroom, especially like a total redo, I highly recommend you go talk to Volcano and see what they can do for you as well.

    Bathroom remodel: walk-in shower and soaking tub

    “The whole remodel came together on schedule.”

    Transcript of the video review from Stephanie

    Our bathroom before was 80s style. It had the a jacuzzi tub over here that didn't work and uh the shower in the back. Now we have our dream shower which is huge and allows for more space and as well as a soaking tub which we've always wanted. And the Volcano team was really easy to work with. They walked us through all the steps. They talked to us about what we needed to purchase and the things that they would do and the whole remodel came together on schedule and uh the whole team was really nice and helpful. I would highly recommend using Volcano Builders for your next project.

Volcano Builders did a bathroom for my girlfriend and I. I was very excited at first. These are the pictures. Door knobs with sandblasted........... On one handle and put back on the bathroom door. The old hardware was used. Texturing wasn't done right and texture residue was left in a brand new shower. And after switching sides with our dryer they added a vent hole but did not fix the old vent hole. this is a major disappointment. After 15,000 later. I'm disgusted with the craftsmanship. Do not leave your wife or girlfriend with them to handle the project. Super disappointed! Call Dabella if you need a shower. Thank God volcano did not install ours. And have found out from OUR electrician that plugs were supposed to be GFCI in our bathroom on 6/8/25. Looks like off to court we go. And we WILL go! What a sorry company!

Our response

We are sorry the bathroom was handed over in this state. The vent, the texture and the outlets are things our final walkthrough should have caught. Please call us and we will schedule the fixes. Bar Unger, owner.

Someone from volcano builders called me today. I politely let them know I was on the do not call list and asked how they got my information and they hang up on me. I called back and someone else answered and let me know that the person who had called me has been warned before about being unprofessional on the phone. It seems that good builders are plenty busy these days and don’t have to cold call people. I for one who won’t be using volcano builders for my construction needs.

Our response

Ben, nobody should get a sales call after saying they are on the Do Not Call list, and the call should not have ended the way it did. Your number was removed. We apologize. Bar Unger, owner.

Volcano came out to assess the work to be done. I was told I would receive an quote later that night. Three weeks have gone by and I still haven’t heard from them.

Our response

Jeanine, you were promised a quote that night and it did not arrive. That is on us. If the work is still ahead of you, we would like the chance to send it. Bar Unger, owner.
