Mixed feelings. After completing work with them recently, they were able to beat another quote we had which was nice. The job is beautiful at a glance. However, upon walking around the house, there are squeaks that were not present before the renovation. They are not willing to rectify their mistake in full. I wish I would’ve paid more for a company that would have done the job 100% correct instead of 80% correct.

Had such an amazing experience working with Donal and his crew during my carpet renovation. The guys were extremely clean and organized. They moved all my furniture around and put it back in place after my new carpet was installed. SO nice! The job only took one day!! I would definitely recommend them for your next remodeling project.

I just wanted to share my experience with Surface Tempo with anyone who is interested in hiring a contractor. I called surface Tempo for painting my downstairs interior, my sons room and to upgrade my fireplace. Chris quickly responded to my call and provided me an estimate the same day he came to get the measurements. Chris was very attentive and easy to work with. I wanted my son's room done first before he was off to college in a few days and Chris made it a point to finish my son's room first which I appreciate a lot. Chris made sure the work is done to my satisfaction and checked in to see everything is in order as it progressed. Chris and his team has done great at my place and I am a happy customer 🙂 I would recommend them to anyone who wants to hire a contractor.

We hired Surface Tempo to remove the vinyl flooring in both of our upstairs bathrooms and install porcelain tile flooring. Our entire experience with Surface Tempo was excellent! Christian was great at communicating with us throughout the entire process. We felt that we were given a very fair price for the work. And best of all, the finished product came out great! We received a 5-star experience with Surface Tempo and highly recommend them!

We just completed a kitchen project with Christian and his team. We are thrilled! The project started out as a simple backsplash job. But once his team was here we broadened the scope. He moved some electrical, textured and painted walls. He ended up being our one stop shop guy. And the icing on the cake.... His pricing was great. Don't hesitate calling them!

Finding a contractor who is responsive, detailed, good communicator with fair pricing is almost impossible to find until I met Christian. He was all of these things! Surface Tempo works with specialized crews who are experts in their craft. They were on time, courteous, kept things tidy and were accommodating. Christian visited daily to keep tabs on the work, he would get supplies and save us time and kept his word by sending a crew for a last minute baseboard installation after the job was complete due to fireplace mantel delay. I highly recommend them and will use them again in the future. I got all new wood flooring, reconstructed fireplace and redid the powder room. Everything turned out great!

Chris at Surface Tempo truly cared about my project and assigned a phenomenal team of tile installers to tackle a very difficult glass tile backsplash for my kitchen. The install team was professional, respectful, friendly, and the best part - their attention to detail was impeccable. Perfectly straight lines, perfect corners, perfect grout. The results honestly blew me away. I went in to this project area stressed about what the results might look like but Chris conveyed a strong sense of confidence and expertise that made me feel at ease from beginning to end. Can't say enough good things so if you're on the fence and tired of looking around for the best tile work, give Surface Tempo a call and ask for Chris.

The quality of the kitchen update was incredible! With the service requested and coordinate with Christiqn, to have the kitchen updated, we couldn't have expected such a beautiful result. The kitchen is opened up and updated from the original 80s-style kitchen. Would use Surface Tempo with Christian again, no hesitation!

On time and on budget aren't words you use often when remodeling but we are fortunate enough to be able to. Christian is an amazing project manager and contractor. He texted me daily on updates, progress and what to expect next.There were no surprises with him and I am grateful for that! There was no lag time during our project, there was someone working on our bathrooms 5 days a week which expedited the whole process. He helped me narrow down my choices and guided me when my decision fatigue kicked in! Everyone from Christians team was so friendly, respectful and knowledgeable! I would 100% recommend for anyone looking to remodel! This is the dream team! Thank you Christian!

Unfortunately due to HOA requirements, I wasn't able to work with Surface Tempo. That being said, I've been shopping for a company to retile my 2 bathrooms and have been frustrated with the lack of urgency or follow through with most of these people I was referred to. Christian on the other hand was much more responsive which I sincerely appreciated. I am too busy to chase after people for answer. Provide me with the answer I need so I can proceed to the next item on the check list. Additionally, I could tell in conversing with Christian that he is thorough and quality focussed. Whereas what I get with the other folks I talked to was more about giving me the lowest bid to get my business...lowest and comprehensive are not one and the same. As the adage goes, you get what you paid for and quality work and customer service means more to me than the whole bait and switch routine.

My father is a disabled veteran and it was getting difficult for us to help him shower. His bathroom is very small and the shower needed some major upgrades. Christian and his crew at surface tempo gave us a fast and reasonable quote. We told him we needed my Dad to be able to just walk into the shower with the aid of his walker. They remodeled the entire room. New toilet, sink, mirror, replaced window, installed grab bars so he can easily and safely move around. Installed a bench seat that can fold up and down as needed. Floor and tile all replaced. It's better than what I imagined and it looks so much bigger. Also added lighting and a fan. I can't recommend surface tempo enough for your next home project. We are using them again to do a kitchen remodel and replace the flooring for the rest of the house. Thank you Christian and team!

surface tempo is fabulous. I just can't say enough good things about them. I contacted 4 floor installation companies. the first company only installs their own products which are inferior. the second was way overpriced. the third one was a young man who didn't seem to be experienced enough for our job. thank goodness for Christopher and surface tempo! Christopher came out the same day I called. he gave me a quote and was kind enough to work with me on the price. we set the date for the demo and installation. Christopher kept in touch with me the entire time. nacho, Jose, cirilano and Vicky and Santiago came out and did an absolutely beautiful job on our den. They installed vinyl wood plank and it turned out perfectly. So if you want a great price, fantastic customer service and a professional job, call surface tempo. Highly recommend them!

Absolutely amazing work. We had gutted our kitchen and our contractor fell thru. Donal and his crew came in and within a month we had the kitchen of our dreams. He was reasonably priced and his workers were fabulous. They came every day they were supposed to on time. They did excellent work. They were so friendly and professional. Everyone did an excellent job, the stone installer, the cabinet installers and the tile man. We could not have had a better experience. I would highly recommend Surface Tempo.

We have had the pleasure of working with Surface Tempo on both our kitchen remodel in 2020 and our master bedroom and bath remodel in 2023. We worked with Christian and his team of subcontractors and did both of these remodels in a relatively short period of time compared with the amount of work required. We were impressed with the organization, responsiveness, communication and most of all the quality of work performed. We are definitely very satisfied and would hire them again for any remodel projects in the future!

Did a kitchen remodel & 2 bathrooms with Surface Tempo, i can honestly say it was the best experience ever. Chris and his team were amazing at communicating and did excellent work. Chris would do daily updates with photos and kept me updated on the schedule daily. The crews were always on time, worked clean, and did a great job. Seeing as I knew nothing about what looked good, Chris' experience was invaluable from a design standpoint. So helping me select materials that were affordable and also worked together was a huge help. I would recommend Surface Tempo and Chris to anyone looking to do remodel or upgrade their interior.

They came into my medial spa Grey Aesthetics in Newport Beach and totally transformed it. I can't tell you enough how happy I am. They paid attention to detail they were super helpful always got back to me when I had any questions they were very responsive they had a quick turn around they got my work done in a very timely manner quicker than I expected.

We recently had our floors redone in a new property we purchased. Christian was extremely professional, solution oriented, and worked very quickly to accommodate our timelines (we were coordinating with painters). The job was complex as they had to remove existing floors and then level out the concrete that was underneath. Christian sent daily updates and photos and I couldn't be happier with our new floors. He worked efficiently and delivered the project a couple days ahead of schedule!!! Who does that???! :) We will definitely be using Surface Tempo for the upstairs floor project and countertops when the time comes!

Surface tempo isn't just a remodel/finish company. Donal was the most professional person in this industry I've ever met. Quotes were quick and fair (after comparison shopping). Everyone, yes everyone I dealt with kept up the most professional attitude and made SURE I was SURE, before moving on with parts of the job that changed midway through. Me and my wife are Thrilled with the results of our bathroom and our kitchen. Once again CAN NOT recommend Donal and his team more. Thank you guys, can't wait for the downstairs bathroom makeover also.

I really can't say enough good things about the work that Chris and his team did with our remodel. We really enjoyed our remodel experience (like... who says this!!) First of all... ON TIME!! We did this project in 2 weeks. He delivered he exactly when he said he would... even asking his team to stay late on a Friday so we could have plumbing connected for the weekend. Second of all... Chris is very communicative. And he will give you his opinion if he thinks something is not right. Third... we felt like the pricing was very fair and they kept us informed through the whole process. We had a bit it a materials issue... and Chris absolutely did the right thing and handled it very well and quickly. Seriously there is no one else out there in the industry I would trust. The Surface Tempo team is just the BEST!

Donal and his team at Surface Tempo understand customer service and support. My husband and I were a bit worried to work with a contractor after the numerous horror stories of poor communication and sub par work.

We contacted Donal to have our interior painted (including 30+ ft walls), carpets replaced, and vinyl installed. He came back with the quickest and most competitive estimate. We were running on a tight schedule and Donal made sure to stay on task and finished a few days early! After the project, he was also quick to touch up on anything that we had asked. He was honest, communicative, and knowledgeable with his work. Him and his team were very easy to work with and we would love to work with them on future projects.

We purchased our first condo and did not know what to expect in the remodeling process. Out of all the contractors we met with, Donal stood out and made us feel at ease. Based on that and the competitive estimate, we decided to go with Surface Tempo and could not be more happy with how the interior paint, flooring, and other work turned out. All the questions we had, he immediately answered us and there were no changes to the estimate provided to us. We will definitely use Surface Tempo on future projects and will recommend him to our family and friends. Thank you Donal!

This was our second time using Surface Tempo and couldn't be more happy. Donal and his staff once again did outstanding tile work!! Most recently we put in an outdoor BBQ island and were in need of finishing the base counters and backsplash. Although it wasn't a big job, Donal met with us, helped with the design and did an outstanding job. He and his crew went above and beyond and we couldn't be happier. Cant wait to have him out again when were ready to remodel our kitchen!!

After dealing with other contracts I cannot give Surface Tempo enough stars! All of his subs were kind and professional. You could tell they had a vested interest in pleasing the customers. The quality of his work has been fantastic and he has stood behind it in the year since we completed the project. I'd recommend Donald to anyone.

We just did a bathroom remodel and used Surface Tempo to replace the old flooring. Chris and his crew were fantastic! Chris showed up the very day we submitted a request and gave us a quick and accurate estimate. His crew showed up on time and, even having to do extra work due to some unexpected water damage, finished the job on time. They were thorough, professional, and clean. The finished floor looked great! I highly recommend the company if you need a flooring job done.

This is our second time using Donal and his team. Last summer we redid our kitchen and recently renovated a bathroom. I couldn't be happier with Donal and his team! They're totally Covid compliant and all the workers wear their masks at all times. They're polite, hard working, and finish on time and on budget. I have been hesitant to do any renovations because of all the nightmare stories about contractors leaving in the middle of the job or doubling the budget or time. I am so incredibly impressed and happy with our first time renovations. My new bathroom and kitchen are gorgeous!! Thank you Donal and Team! I highly recommend these guys!!!

One of the best services I have ever had in OC. Chris was very responsive and responsible. He was also resourceful and managed to send various trades (all very capable) promptly and get them to coordinate smoothly. We will hire them again for our next jobs.

Long overdue review. I had reached out to surface tempo right before I sold my previous home, we set a date to meet at the new house once I got the keys but we ended up receiving the keys 1 week later because of stupid loan company that left us homeless. Surface tempo team really worked with my time and we were always in contact with each other! We completely love the work. I really cant thank Donald & Chris and the team enough that worked on my home. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for a company who are very professional and have great communications, Surface Tempo Donald & Chris are the ones to go too!! 10 Starts if I could (maybe ill leave another 5 star review to make it 10 stars)

Surface Tempo recently remodeled our kitchen, fireplace, and bathroom and did an amazing job! Their crew was very professional, always cleaned up afterwards, and followed all of the Covid safety precautions. Their prices were very fair and the quality was outstanding. Communication with the owner Donal was excellent throughout the process - he far exceeded our expectations. We loved his contractor Pablo too, who did such a great job with every little detail. We absolutely love our kitchen, fireplace and bathroom and highly recommend Surface Tempo for any home remodel project.

Replacing my kitchen counter and fixing the cabinet under the kitchen sink were a very frustrated project just thinking about it. I started thinking about it after the pandemic started in March but delayed a few months. Some contractors didn't want to do both. I am so pleased that Donal came out and gave me a reasonable quote to do what I needed. He is one of the best contractors I worked with. He is honest, professional, and dependable, made the frustrating project easy and smooth for me. His crews were very efficient. I am definitely very happy with the changes of my kitchen counter and the space under the sink, and how short the project lasted. I highly recommend Surface Tempo for your home projects. I will use Surface Tempo in future project again. Thank you very much, Donal and your crew.

Reached out to Surface Tempo and other countertop/back splash contractors based on Yelp reviews. Surface Tempo was prompt at scheduling a free estimate, and was priced competitively with all other contractors. I picked them based on their attentiveness to walking me through the process of a minor home remodel. They scheduled the work quickly, and their team was professional, and very nice. They gave me the option to purchase the material myself or they could purchase the material. Once material was purchase, job was completed in two days, right on schedule. I'm very happy with the results, and would recommend them for any surface remodel. 6/6/2020 - Review Update* I was very pleased with the results the first time, I reached out to Donal again, to carpet my new home. Service was excellent, he worked within my tight schedule, and pricing was competitive. I couldn't asked for anything more. Highly recommended.

Donal and his team are without a doubt the the very best there is in every aspect ! Donal is fair, responsive, dependable, present and stands behind his work, his goal is to have happy clients. We had all flooring replaced, painted the inside and loved their work so much we decided to demo the kitchen counters and updated the backsplash. We are very picky, but they are always prompt and do exceptional work. We have been throughly happy ! Donal has hand chosen his team of professionals and they have been with him for a long time. Everyone was careful to protect the floors, laid out tarps while working and treated our home with care and dignity as though it was theirs. We are so happy with the amazing service and work ! I highly recommend Donal and his team !

However, they were either unable to reach anyone by phone, or never received the promised estimate after the initial conversation.
We want to emphasize that the lack of response or data does not necessarily reflect the quality of the company's work. In our experience, some contractors are simply unable to respond to all inquiries in time or prefer to discuss pricing only in person.

Acting as a mystery shopper, our analyst attempted to contact company representatives to clarify the timeframe for a standard 83.4 sq. ft. countertop project — however, either the calls and messages went unanswered, or the staff were unable or unwilling to provide an estimated completion time. It’s important to note that situations like this are not uncommon: contractors may be overwhelmed with work, prefer to discuss project details in person, or choose not to disclose information during the initial contact.

As a result, we are unable to objectively evaluate the company’s quote turnaround speed. This situation is rare and usually related to temporary workload or internal processing specifics. It does not necessarily indicate a low level of service — it simply means that we didn’t receive a response within the research timeframe.
To get up-to-date information, we recommend contacting the company directly through our website — submit a request, call, or message them to receive a personalized quote and clarify current pricing.
Does Surface Tempo Flooring & Remodeling offer cutouts for sinks, cooktops, or other elements?
Yes, like most professional contractors in the market, Surface Tempo Flooring & Remodeling performs cutouts and countertop preparation for various components — both standard and modern. According to our findings, these services are typically included in the overall project estimate.
The standard scope usually covers cutouts for sinks (undermount, drop-in, or farmhouse) and holes for faucets or other plumbing fixtures. Additional cutouts — such as for cooktops, hidden or pop-up outlets, built-in wireless chargers, or other accessories — are discussed individually at the project planning and estimating stage.
It’s important to note that while the cutouts and countertop preparation are usually performed by the company, the installation of electrical and plumbing fixtures (such as faucets, outlets, or appliances) may not be included in their scope of work and could require licensed professionals. We recommend clarifying this point when placing your order.
To avoid misunderstandings, ask for a detailed estimate with a breakdown of all services: cutout pricing, installation, and any add-on options. This will ensure project transparency and help you clearly understand what you're paying for.
What guarantees does Surface Tempo Flooring & Remodeling provide for its work?
According to our information and industry practice, Surface Tempo Flooring & Remodeling, like most participants in the ranking, provides a workmanship warranty valid for 1 year from the date of countertop installation. This period is usually specified in the contract. We do not rule out that the company may have extended warranty terms (2 years or more), however, during our research, we did not receive confirmed data from the contractor regarding the duration and scope of its warranty.
The contractor’s warranty covers defects in fabrication and installation, such as uneven or separating seams, leveling and fastening issues, detachment or sagging of an undermount sink, flaws in edge finishing and cutouts, premature failure of seam materials, and cutouts that do not match the approved design. Warranty coverage does not include damage from use (thermal shock/burn marks from hot cookware, chips or cracks caused by impacts), stains and acid etching (for marble), wear due to insufficient maintenance or lack of sealing, natural characteristics of stone (veins, micro-pores, variations in shade/pattern within tolerances), shifts caused by base deformation, or any modifications performed by third parties.
The material warranty is provided by the manufacturer or the official stone supplier. Engineered quartz brands often offer a limited “lifetime” warranty for residential properties (subject to registration and compliance with care guidelines). For sintered surfaces, typical warranty periods range from 10 to 25 years. Natural stone usually does not come with a factory warranty — its quality of fabrication and installation is covered by the contractor’s warranty.
The term and scope of the warranty depend on the project and materials — contact Surface Tempo Flooring & Remodeling in any convenient way on this page to get the current terms.
