"Karol worked as general contractor for our home remodel, which involved adding a second story on an existing single family home. Karol managed the project very skillfully, keeping it within budget and our timeline. I was particularly impressed by his integrity and we eventually came to trust him for looking out for it interests. When our initial drywall subcontractor was overbilling us and frequently absent from the job, Karol promptly called out the actions and terminated the contact. He helped us find good workarounds for some issues involving our kitchen cabinets and a new outdoor deck."

"I debated leaving a review for the past two years as Avi, the general contractor, was a nice guy and I believe means well, but in since the remodel of two bathrooms and a kitchen, quite a bit of the work from his company has proven to either fall apart, be of poor workmanship, or simply be installed or built incorrectly. There are so many things that were done wrong, it would take forever to list, so I will mention the top few. I have plenty of pictures to illustrate the details but am not being given the link to upload them on here, for some reason I found Bay Remodeling Kitchen and Bath by reading several online reviews and when I called the company, the owner, Avi, did arrive at my home promptly and gave a very professional presentation complete with previous work, which seemed of high quality. I felt immediately comfortable entrusting him with the remodel of ONE bathrooms and a kitchen of a home I recently purchased as my primary residence. I was excited as my son had just been born and the house was to be our ‘forever home’. Day 1: I went to the house to find his demolition crew was busy demolishing....the wrong bathroom. They had gotten so far into the work it was past the point of ‘no return’. To his credit, Avi did immediately contact me and apologize. Because that bathroom was intended to EVENTUALLY be remodeled, we worked out a fair price to include it in the overall remodel. Problem solved? Unfortunately, no. Weeks on: Both bathrooms were completed and I was happy with the result. Then the kitchen. Demolition went smoothly, new wiring, plumbing and flooring were installed and the cabinets were next. I drove to the house to find....the brand new refrigerator had been STOLEN. I called Avi, who was out of town, then the police to file a report. When Avi’s foreman showed up, he expressed his suspicion the cabinet installers may have stolen it. I didn’t point fingers and patiently waited for the police to complete their investigation. Nothing came of it as it was a ‘...his word against theirs’ type of situation. I ultimately filed an insurance claim, paid the deductible and moved on. Admittedly, there is no way I can prove Avi’s guys had anything to do with it. Two days later: cabinets installed and most of the hardware had been drilled into brand new drawers and doors crooked. Pictures included with a level for reference. I was met with immediate resistance from Avi and his foreman stating, ‘...it isn’t that bad...’. Maybe not. The readers on this review can decide.After completion: 3 electrical outlets on the walls opposite the kitchen are without power. Avi shows up with his foreman and their response: ‘...we don’t even know these outlets ever had power even before the remodel...’. True, but what are the odds? Two years on: I finally notice the stoppers for the all of the drains in the bathrooms were never installed. I rarely use the bathroom sinks for more than brushing my teeth, so I don’t need to fill a sink with water but my wife recently discovered this when washing something. As a coincidence, I recently found these tucked in a corner of the garage. If the actual pop-up drains are still in boxes, I have no idea what is actually installed in the sinks. Little details I recently noticed: the ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ water positions on all the kitchen sinks are inconsistent, cabinet doors are uneven, floor moulding in more concealed locations never installed, etches can be seen in the ceiling where recess lighting had been misaligned, leaving the initial partial cuts in the ceiling in view. These problems were brought up later to Avi but at the time he was still searching for a construction team to work with as he apparently moves from one team to the next. Reading these reviews, I see he occasionally finds a good crew to work with, but a note to future customers: Avi and many general contractors subcontract with myriad plumbers, electricians, tile workers, etc. If he has a few bad subcontractors, you result might be similar. Good workers will likely produce a good result. Buyer beware... Updated 5/17/24 Addendum: Avi recently reached out regarding the quality of the previous project and said he now has a good, reliable, meticulous crew that he trusts. I took the risk, but let them back into the house. They were, indeed, a good, quality crew and fixed the as many of the mistakes and shortcuts the previous crew made and took. I am very happy with the outcome. As my earlier review stated, Avi is a good, honest guy but the quality of the work being done will 100% depend on the crew hired. Thank you for following up, Avi. -Chris"

"We bought our house in 1986. It was built in 1942 and the kitchen appeared to have been updated in the 70â s, as it contained a bright orange counter, brown appliances and dark brown cabinets, an avocado sink, autumn harvest wallpaper and oxblood red linoleum which partially extended into the living room to the front door. My daughter referred to it as â the kichen that time forgotâ . We replaced appliances as they broke down and kept things clean, but the linoleum began to peel in high stress areas. With the kids out of the house going on several years, I finally decided it was time. I made a list and began searching for contractors. My 4th interview was with Dor Ashkar of Brother and Brother Builders. He was friendly, organized and he followed through after our meeting by promptly sending me a written estimate. The estimate and timeline became the contract and the amount never changed. Dor did caution me that the city might require an electrical upgrade, as my panel was very out of date and inadequate. I was concerned that Brother and Brotherâ s main office was in the south bay and we would be geographically challenged, but that was never an issue. Some of the contractors I interviewed wanted me to knock out the wall between my living room or remove the arched doorways between kitchen and living room, kitchen and dining room. I was reluctant to do so as my house has few architectural details and these gave the house some charm. The other thing I wanted to keep was my peninsula. The peninsula served as a mini dining area, business center, and catch all. As we moved forward, I discovered that we were not going to be able to keep appliances in their same locations. City codes require a certain amount of counter space on both sides of the stovetop and the stovetop cannot be at the window. It didnâ t seem possible that we could retain the side window and the peninsula, and I tried to decide which thing I could live without. Dor, the project manager was able to come up with a design that allowed me to keep both! I got a beautiful stainless steel range hood with an outlet to the outside, a spice drawer with 3 shelves, a blind corner cabinet to utilize space next to the oven that would otherwise be inaccessible, and 2 huge double decker lazy susans. I was worried that I would be begging workers to come to work on my kitchen and to finish what they started, but that was never a problem. The subcontractors that Brother and Brother used were very dependable, trustworthy, and adaptable. Marcello and his team were outstanding. I was completely comfortable with them working in my house when I was not at home. They were tidy, polite, and considerate. I had a lot of confidence in them. Dor and his associate, Jacob touched base on a regular basis by phone and in person. They were both accessible and responsive to my questions and emails. When I told Dor that I dreaded running from store to store to look for flooring, countertops, back splashes, cabinets, and windows, he had Jacob go with me to their recommended cabinet maker; the other providers came to my house. No running around and agonizing over choices! Dor also brought in a highly-skilled person to cut and install the quartz countertop, as this is a very specialized skillâ ¦like cutting diamonds! Dor had warned me that the city inspector might require updates to my electrical panel, and that is in fact what happened. I elected to get a new main panel over a subpanel; it seemed to be a better long-term solution. Dor and Brother and Brother pulled in a highly skilled electrician to come by to give me my options and estimates. The 3 electricians were able to complete and test the work in a single day, and we were able to get approval from the city inspector. I highly recommend Brother and Brother Builders and Dor Askkar."
