Today we’d like to introduce you to Maria Lopez and Jose Alastre.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Maria and Jose. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
We have been friends for 32 years. We have studied together in elementary school, then high school and then University because we chose the same career: Civil Engineering in Venezuela. We have been working in construction business since then and, for obvious reasons about the socio-economic situation in our country, we had to emigrate and then we chose the city of Miami FL to live in. I came first on December 2015 with a project that for reasons beyond my control, I couldn’t carry out. Jose arrived six months later with his family.
We started working together here in Miami in 2016 and then, fortunately, we became partners to create Lara Remodeling, honoring the name of the State where we were born and raised. Now Lara Remodeling has been growing and with it our ideas maturing, for two years. Now we have a large number of clients, a solid work team and a lot of goals to reach. We serve our clients, execute the work and do not finish until our clients are highly satisfied. Here we will continue working hard in an extremely aggressive and very competitive market such as the remodeling business in the imposing city of Miami.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
We were scammed by a local General Contractor who never paid us despite we have finished the job. It was a very hard blow to recover but we decided to do it and we have succeeded. Then, more recently we came across a large remodeling through an intermediary who always dealt with the wrongdoing before the owners and it was really very difficult to struggle against that situation, to the point that we lost money in order to satisfy the end client. Then we realized that this person had a company that now is working for that client.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Lara Remodeling – what should we know?
We offer a complete remodeling service. Our clients do not even move from their homes to choose materials and we’re available for them at any time. Among our services are: custom closets, kitchens (new and remodeled), flooring, bathrooms, wallpapering, blinds, painting and drywall.
