San Jose Master Bedroom Remodel

Charlie was very professional, punctual, and offered great design ideas for my kitchen. I will definitely use him again for my master bedroom remodel.

Super happy with my master bedroom and bathroom remodel! The whole team was extremely patient and accommodating with me. Their design input and expertise created a beautiful tile wall, increased the size of the bathroom allowing for a significantly larger shower and addition of a sliding glass door in bedroom. Highly recommend!

We hired Reno to remodel our master bedroom and bathroom. He seemed responsive and willing to do the job we asked and quoted a reasonable price for the work. Accordingly, we weren't expecting top quality work. His workers showed up on time and seemed to be reasonably competent so we didn't fuss over some sloppiness and minor mistakes that we noticed. The texture and paint work they did was acceptable but had many small flaws if looked at closely. They did a pretty good job on the tile work in the bathroom which seemed to be one worker's specialty as he took his time to do the job right. But here again we noticed a shortcut as he bullnosed the tile by hand instead of having it done at a shop where it would be done perfectly. A problem arose when we ordered a bathroom vanity cabinet through Reno. When it finally arrived I had to reject it due to poor quality and design and also there was an unsightlty discoloration in the wood used for the doors. We ended up ordering a new one from Home Depot (Kraftmaid) which was of much better quality but caused a long delay. The biggest problem came with the installation of the solid hardwood flooring in the bedroom. Apparently, the worker who was good at tile doesn't know much about wood floor installation. The first batch of wood flooring he rejected because he said it was "no good." So I scrambled to get some new flooring from a different supplier. He installed this flooring but said to me, when almost finished, that it wasn't any good either. I immediately noticed some slight creaking sounds when walking on the floor. I hoped that over time the floor would settle and the noise would go away so didn't make an issue of it, besides it was already installed. As the summer went on, the creaking got worse and eventually there were some loud squeaks developing, by the fall it was really bad. I thought the flooring was bad as the worker had said so I went to the flooring company for answers. Eventually they sent out a certified flooring inspector to do an independent evaluation. His inspection found errors in the installation of the flooring. These are basic errors that a professional flooring installer wouldn't make. So I realized the problem was with the installation and tried to contact Reno to work out a solution. He has not responded to my messages. Apparently, he does not warranty his work. It appears I am going to have to replace the flooring at my own expense which will mean thousands of dollars in work and material have been wasted. I am definitely not a happy customer.

SOD builders and his skilled team did a wonderful job at our house by remodeling our master bedroom and master bathroom. It all started with our vision in mind on how we would like to have our master bedroom and bathroom and SOD builders made it to a reality! The entire remodeling process was very well planned (which we know that the planning stage was a huge factor in the overall work) and the communication they had with us all the time was beyond outstanding. At the beginning of each step of the work, we knew the current costs of the work and we knew very well what the next step. We know that all remodeling projects can have problems and issues -- but SOD builders made the outcome of the remodeling… well worth the effort. They earned our highest appreciation and we look forward to hire and working with them again in the future.

I am a victim of their remodeling . He is a 50+ yr old contractor working with a son in his 20's. As I interacted more with his acquaintance contractors that I hired later and his former customers in my neighborhood, I found out that that the victim list just keeps growing. The worst opinions about him in fact come from his contractor acquaintances. Don McDonald, the proprietor has troubles coming up with good references. I should have listened to one of his references in Los Gatos who told me that he had to strip out all his glass tiles and the redo cost him $6000. I spent more than $5000 to redo his work. This is something I learned, you must find a good contractor with RECENT POSITIVE REFERENCE within the last 3 months. The good contractors that I hire right now are busy even during the down time because they have a solid reputation through words of mouth. I should have known better that Don could NOT come up with any recent good reference when I hired him. His skills were amateurish at best. He couldn t even cut a piece of wood straight, and none of his trim finish was tight at all. He warped my window, framed it unlevel and destroyed my newly installed hard wood floor while working. The finish was so poor that I had to fire him, strip out everything he did and redo all over again. He claimed to be a tile specialist, but I even do a better job than his glass tiles. I personally had to strip out hundreds of glass tiles and redo them myself because they were beyond ugly. When he did our two bathrooms, I didn t know the procedure, but he completely skimped on the steps and missed out on the waterproofing procedure. He used non-waterproof glue to do my glass tiles, instead of thin set. Now I am very, very worried about leaks. Apart from all the improper procedures and poor finishes, he does not listen to customers, both my husband and I told him to do things differently for waterproofing (and anyone who finished high school science should know the principles), he said he knew better although he has never finished high school. At some point, while working at OUR house, he told us to get lost. After we fired him, I dug out more about him through his subs, who have nothing but horrible stuff to say. He is known in the contractor circle to have walked away on projects, either because he was fired, or because he just couldn t finish and he walked away with customer deposit before without finishing, which happened to my Iranian neighbor three blocks down the street. Due to my tight fiscal control, he was not able to get away with that but he still over-charged a lot with sloppy finish. He was working on bowling alley in Cupertino before and was fired from the job due to unacceptable quality.

Great! As with most projects something unexpected happens. Sobi quickly found the correct professionals to help. Sobi has done our master bedroom and kitchen remodel in the past. He is one of the most trustworthy contractors I have met and would hire him again!

Dave and his son Alon were great. They gave a fair price when we took bids and did not exceed that amount. They were always on time, cleaned up great each day, and accommodated our specific needs while we were living in the house during the project. Both are really nice guys and easy to talk to and work with. Dave has a ton of experience and his knowledge and scope of the work was great. The end product was high quality and looks great!!! We plan to work with them again in the future.

We are extremely happy with the addition that we did and remodeling project of the 2 bedrooms and bathrooms that was done by Fine Builders did for our home. We added a large master bedroom and a master bathroom that included shower and tub among all the other features that need to be in a master bathroom and converting our original master bedroom into two kid’s bedrooms, In addition to that, we did a full kitchen remodel, and added a large deck in the back yard. During the entire project, Fine builders offered professional services and advises. They were pretty honest, unlike many another contractors that all they know is to lie and add you things that you don’t need so they can make more money into their pocket. Fine builders gave us an honest quote from start and he stayed behind that quote till the end of the remodeling, guided us throughout the entire process, and followed through with all of their obligations and responsibilities. Throughout the process, Fine builders staff were professional and friendly. Nir Gozlan takes a huge pride in his company, and ensures that his customers are treated right and above. It’s hard and almost impossible to find this degree of professionalism very often.

We had a complete Master bathroom tear down and remodel and matching floors going into the master bedroom. I was initially cautious,not knowing much about the company. Zack was the project Manager and put together a package that included everything. The only thing we had to worry about was picking out our vanities,tiles and accessories- the fun stuff! I have to say that my confidence grew in Zack and his workers as the job went on. Zack was honest, reliable, a wonderful communicator, as were his workers. The quality of work was excellent. I would definitely hire them again and would easily refer Green Bay to friends.

He was recommended to us. He and his carpenter performed excellent carpentry work on doors, new construction windows and the expansion of the master bathroom in preparation for sub-contractor work.
