"Jose was a Godsend. Our kitchen cabinets are 35 years old and drawers came off track. Contacted many so called handymen. If they responded the wouldn’t take the job. Jose responded immediately. Gave a fair price and was so reliable. Good job great clean up and on time. Will hire him again. Thank you Jose."
"I would suggest Bob and Nicole. We hired Platinum Home Builders to complete a difficult project that included moving and relocating a 100-year-old Douglas home, pouring a new foundation, and installing a new floor plan and a completely developed basement. I would go into more detail, but I believe the most important thing we learned was how much we trusted Platinum Home Builders to do the correct thing and make the right judgments."
"After 30+ years of dreaming about a kitchen remodel, we finally did it—and choosing SoCal Builders & Design was the best decision we could’ve made. David, our project manager, was professional, organized, and communicated every step clearly. Any minor hiccup was handled immediately, and we always felt informed and in control. Every tradesperson on the job was skilled, respectful, and meticulous. The end result exceeded our expectations—our new kitchen is stunning, functional, and feels like it came straight out of a design magazine. We’re already planning bathroom renovations and wouldn’t think of calling anyone but David and SoCal Builders & Design again. True professionals from start to finish!"
"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote.
Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with.
I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"
"My husband and I just finished a remodel of our guest house in Sherwood Forest. We used a company called Universal Home Design Inc. The contractor and owner of the company Ouriel Lousky was most professional in every aspect of the job. His crews were timely and most efficient in every way. He had his subcontractors lined up so the job was never lagging behind. I would recommend him to anyone who is planning on a remodel or a renovation. Mary V."
