"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."

"First off, I was very proud to support an army veteran in choosing Felipe out of 3 bids to do a somewhat complex remodel of my master bathroom. He shows up when he says he will show up, and if he is late, he lets you know (rare in this business!). He only commits to one large project at a time, and what this means is that he would show up at 8am each day, and work through the whole day, I never felt we had a wasted day in this project. He was also extremely respectful of our home and schedule. He insisted his guys lay drop clothes throughout the house to avoid getting dirt and dust everywhere, and he even rolled up the cloths at the end of each day. If a day ran late, he was only to happy to stay late and finish the work, but only after asking us permission - he was very concerned to disrupt our evening family time. This level of respect for his customer is something that he insists on with his crew, and we found every one of them to be polite, hardworking, reliable and respectful. Felipe is also very focused on making sure we were happy, and I wasn't an easy customer for this. If I noticed I didn't like the way something was done, he would explain his reasoning, but if that wasn't good enough for what I needed, he always obliged to make the change so I would be happy. The project involved a full demo of a master bathroom, and also removing a wall to extend the bathroom into a patio space, to create a 100 sq. foot bathroom. This required lots of concrete demo, re-leveling the patio floor, building a new tub frame, installing a large tub, building a shower pan, plumbing and drain rerouting, new flooring, installing shiplap on several walls, electrical, installing large windows and a skylight, converting to a 2-sink vanity, shower glass enclosure and lots of marble tiling work. In this much complexity, we did have lots of bumps along the way, but with his good heart, we got through them, and at the end, we are super happy with our new bathroom. Felipe has skills in framing, tile work, plumbing, carpentry and drywall. Unique in his drywall approach, he creates very little dust by getting to an almost smooth finish that requires less sanding work. In plumbing he wasn't always familiar with the newer plumbing fittings that we got, but unlike others he would say "let's look at the instructions". His tiling work was good, and he worked with marble, porcelain and ceramic on this project - I will say this was the most tedious part of the project to get right! He worked very hard, and I would say an extra 5 days than planned to accommodate our needs, and never charged us extra. For all the extra work he did when issues came up such as floor leveling, plumbing runs, he never complained, and honored the original contract we signed. Overall I recommend Felipe as an amazing guy to hire to do any kind of home repair. With Felipe, you could just trust him and leave him to do your full project without worry. If you have exacting requirements (as I did), then my advice is to clearly write out what you need, so things don't get forgotten or confused along the way, and Felipe is only too happy to have you check his work and adjust/accommodate as you go along."

"So Cal Builders & Design Inc made our kitchen renovation experience smooth and stress-free. The team was punctual, professional, and extremely skilled. They transformed our outdated kitchen into a modern, functional space."
Completely renovating both the guest and master bathrooms. In the master bathroom, we're installing a spacious walk-in shower featuring dual black-finished shower heads, elegant floating benches, and marble wall tiles. Meanwhile, the guest bathroom will have a sleek built-in tub and stylish hexagon tiles.
This project involved adding a new master bathroom to the existing house. The shower features sleek white subway tiles complemented by striking black fixtures and shower door hardware. The bathroom floor is adorned with elegant white marble tiles, providing a seamless and luxurious finish. A white shaker vanity topped with a white marble countertop completes the space, creating a clean and sophisticated look.

"It went very well. If you already have a design in mind, call Kyle for a quote. He has a straight forward approach and tells you what is possible and how much it will cost. I think he has multiple crews. Arturo and Felipe, were assigned to my job. In addition to being courteous and easy to work with, they worked relentlessly, usually from 7AM to 5-6PM, 5 to 6 days per week to get the job done. Despite, 3-4 days of unexpected setbacks, the job was still completed in 4 weeks as originally quoted. I love my new kitchen and couldn't be happier. Photos are before and after, standing in the same position."

"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!"

"Bought a house built in 1962 that needed kitchen & bath upgrades. Ended up redoing entire kitchen ,  two baths and a room.

Met with several different contractors and hired Universal Home Design because of Ouri. He was very professional and polite and gave us a good vibe. We explained our vision and he gave suggestions without trying to sell us on crap we didn't want. 
Ouri took the time to come up with an estimate/bid and worked on the layout in the computer with us for two hours, free of charge. Communication was excellent via email and text. Throughout the project, we enjoyed prompt, fast responses, even late nights and on weekends. Yuri took care of all permits and city inspections as well. For us, Universal Home Design was basically a turnkey operation; we gave them the house key and let them come and go freely without supervision. There were no problems with this, it was all very convenient. 

From talking to our friends, in any renovation project, there are sometimes a few details that need correction and some minor setbacks along the way. To UHD's credit, unlike some of the stories we've heard about other contractors, Ouri never argued against our occasional requests for early fixes and adjustments mid-project, and had his team rectify these items promptly to our satisfaction. UHD's customer service is very good. So far everything has been great and we are very much enjoying our new kitchen. 

Overall we are very happy with the results and would recommend Universal Home Design."

"They did a great job. Very professional & courteous team lead by Mike Mohsini. He was the only contractor to give me a detailed written estimate, which was also lower than the two other verbal estimates I received. Mike also included some needed structural upgrades & other current building code requirements. The final inspection by San Francisco building department is scheduled for Monday, 6/13/22. I would definitely recommend Northgate Development to anyone in Bay Area needing deck repairs and/or replacement. Thanks for your recommendation. ~Stephen Teeple"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
