Get matched with top carpenters in Brea, CA

"Home Care and Repair’s Jose Pajares did an excellent job in completing the design from a sketch and building my Custom Intertainment Cabinet. The Cabinet was exactly what I wanted and fit perfectly. His crew installed and stained the unit without any problems. I’m very happy with the completed job. I recommend using Home Care and Repair for any Cabinet projects."

"Excellent exterior carpentry work. Arrived on time & completed in exactly the amount of time projected. Cleaned the work site very well. Will definitely call them for the next projects."

"We hired JB Custom to do our stairs. He did an amazing job. We get so many compliments on them."

"Felipe did a really great job on a really challenging project. It was an old front porch that had been enclosed. He demoed a old, very rough concrete slab and replaced it with new concrete / rebar. He helped correct some frame-slippage that had occured over the years prior to his work. He did a great job with some tiling, and a threshhold between another floor I had done. He installed a prehung door and did all of the trim work on on the interior and exterior of the space. The existing conditions of this space made this all very difficult, but I'm so impressed with the results. Felipe's great because he'll brainstorm and problem solve with you, which is especially important for very old houses where the conditions can be unknown at time of starting. His work is really exceptional. The level of craft he brought to this project was really superb. He's also a cool guy, and fun to work with. At this point, once you consider the work done on this project and other projects he's worked on over the past 2 years for my place, he has nearly completely remodeled my house. From now on, I'll basically only ask to hire Felipe."

"Bill is one of the good contractor I hired so far."

"So Cal Builders & Design Inc made the entire building process stress-free. They were transparent with costs, delivered work on time, and ensured every design detail was perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the final results."

"Needed a new lock for the kitchen door. Jaime set a time for an estimate. He arrived within the time frame, gave an estimate to include purchasing the new lock. Purchased the lock and installed it. When he finished, he cleaned up very well. Would definitely use him again when I need a handyman."

"I hired Kyle for a $14,000 home remodeling project based on reviews from Angie's List and Yelp, and overall, I am satisfied with the work Kyle and his team performed and I feel like I got my money's worth. Below are my thoughts: 1. Timeliness: Kyle's crew showed up on time every day and stuck to the schedule. The entire project stayed mostly on track. Things were slightly delayed due to city inspection, but that was a factor beyond Kyle's control. So definitely an A there. 2. Quality of work - I had three major projects in this remodeling, and below are my thoughts on them: a. Conversion of a bedroom into a mudroom/entry room to garage: For some reason this new house I bought did not have an access door from garage directly into the house, so I hired Kyle to remedy this by turning a bedroom that shares a common wall with the garage into a mud room with an access door. Job involved cutting the wall open and installing a fire rated entry door, as well as removing old wall paper and repainting the room. This job was done very well and definitely an A there. b. Bathroom remodeling: I also had Kyle remove an old bathtub & tile surround and replace it with a new jacuzzi tub, new tiles and an updated tub door. We also had the toilet repositioned as well. Final quality of work was very nicely done and we were very pleased with how the new tiles turned out. Regrettably, the new bath tub got a small 1" size scratch on one of the rim and I had to touch up paint it afterwards. So A-/B+ there due to my new tub getting scratched up during tile installation. c. House electrical upgrade: I had Kyle and his crew installing an 100 amp subpanel with 2x 50 amp outlets in the garage for EV charging. I also had multiple new outlets installed throughout the house. All the newly installed outlets worked very well and I am pleased with the results. However, after all the electrical work were done, three of my outlets in the house lost power due to a "open neutral". To make a long story short, Kyle's crew tried to trouble shoot it for the better part of a day but couldn't figure out what caused it. All the worker could say is that he doesn't think it was caused by their work. As this happened at the very end of the entire remodeling project and I was uncertain whose fault it was, I ended up just letting it go. Subsequently I did more troubleshooting on my own and after several hours of trial-and-error testing using a multimeter, I found a loose neutral wire in a bathroom switch box Kyle's crew worked on. The loose neutral wire was covered up by a bunch of other wire and wire nuts in the switch box. Once that wire was reconnected, the three dead outlets became functional again. My guess is that the wire got shaken loose when Kyle's crew swap out the switches in that box with new light and fan switches, and no one realized it because that wire was buried behind other wires. I can understand how Kyle's worker missed it while trying to trouble shoot this issue. However, I'm still a bit miffed that I end up having to fix this problem myself. Thus, while the newly installed outlets are great, I am not too thrilled with the fact that his worker knocked a wire loose while changing out bathroom switches and couldn't fix the problem. So on this part of the project, I would give Kyle's team an A on the new outlets and C for causing collateral damage on my other outlets that I had to fix myself. 3. Conclusion - other than the problems with the loose neutral wire and the scratch to the new tub noted above, everything else went smoothly. Thus, in light of the scope of this remodeling project, I decided that these two issues are minor and don't detract too much from the overall success. Thus, I ended up giving Kyle and his crew an A- overall."

"HIC builders is a family owned company, and they did a terrific job at my house. We added an ADU above the garage, remodeled two bathrooms, and did other extensive work on the house. Abraham, the field manager, was responsive and available, flexible when plans needed to change to accommodate structural issues that we discover as the project progressed, and answered my endless questions. The workmen were always on time, courteous, and cleaned up the site every day before they left. Probably the easiest way to find out if HIC can provide what you want is to call Abraham Moryossef directly (818 850 5062) and chat. I know it will be a good investment of your time. They are terrific!"

"My point of this review was his arrogant, rude way of speaking to me, not what he could build.  That was secondary!

He came out to bid on my Custom cabinets when my cabinet maker dropped out due to unforeseen circumstances in middle of remodel.  He told me I should do pre-made modular.  
When I said I wanted exactly what I want (my design and elevations/floor plans were already done, he was welcome to do his own drawings) - no fillers, no spaces - and asked how can you do that with modular - he kept saying "with my magic wand", "I have been in business for 33 years) .. I kept asking how he could do no spaces/filler with pre-built (for a 60 y/o kitchen) and he kept saying - " trust me", "I will give you $100 if I don't" , "my magic wand", "I will design the cabinets".  I kept saying they were already designed and I wanted them built exactly to that design .. but he would not stop talking about HIS DESIGN!  
Overall he spoke to me like he thought I was some airhead woman! BAD ATTITUDE!
I also asked him to confirm, before he came over, that I was available, I wrote 
And he told me, he confirmed last week in email and he did not understand what I meant about making sure I was home.  
"Teri Perlstein 6/20/2014
Please confirm with me Monday, I may have a conflict now. Trying to work out.Coastal Kitchens & Baths Inc 6/20/2014"
HIS ANSWER:
"6/20/2014
I have you scheduled for 7:30 pm this Monday."

Obviously, he does not read/listen and pay attention to details.  
His cabinets may be great, but no way would I work with him."
