"Our initial meeting with Suj was great. Initially, we had in mind a much larger job. He had quoted us $3000 for the closet demolition / wall rebuild (non-load bearing), packaged with several other items. Together with the fee for drawings ($4000) and permits, this was a bit higher than we anticipated. However, we decided to go with Suj due to his responsiveness and professionalism. Out of our other quotes, Suj’s pricing was middle of the pack - not the cheapest or most expensive. When the drawings were complete and evaluated, he gave us an updated cost of $6000 over text message. The scope of work had changed, and this was no longer part of a bigger project - understandable. The issue was when he gave us the official estimate a week later and up’d the price once again to $9000. When asked what happened, his exact words were “well, I need to get paid too”. He had weeks to consider before quoting the $6000 and nothing had changed since then. The extra $3000 may be insignificant compared to most renovation costs, but for us in our first home, this was back breaking. We continued with Suj since we were already locked in and well past the 3 day cancellation period. Their work for the most part was exceptional. The new wall blended perfectly into our existing structure, and the ceiling patch was also well done. The problem here was the floor. They had dug up a 1” deep pit in the floor, likely to remove the wall studs. However, they did not patch the floor or even let us know this was going to be an issue. We were never told about the pit until I decided to check in on their progress one day towards the end of the wall build. This required us to pay a handyman to come in next day on a weekend to patch the concrete since we had cabinets being installed the following Tuesday. Suj was aware of this and did not believe it pertinent information. Overall, Suj and SoCal Builders do quality work, but the issues in pricing consistency lost us before the work even started. Not even telling us that we’d be left with a 1” deep pit in our floor after was another huge issue which should’ve been brought up much earlier. This was our first experience with a contractor and I’m not sure if this is typical or not. However, it’s enough to make me doubt I’d contact them for any future work."

"Working with Legacy Builders, Jon Whitener was a great experience. Very easy to work with, always returned text messages or phone calls. Always on time, completed remodel in timely manner. Jonâ s crew were very professional, excellent work installing cabinets, granite, tile ect. Also cleaned up after each day they worked. Would highly recommend Legacy Builders."

"The contractor came by right away for free consultation. After taking a look at the job, he provided an honest consultation and alternatives outside of construction that might save some money. Straight forward, on time, friendly, professional, and honest I can’t ask for much more."

"They kept their promises. They addressed problems immediately. An owner was always available, easily reachable, and reasonable to deal with. Worker/s were onsite every workday. Crews, generally, were respectful of being in the home. Followthrough is solid. After completion of the project, they remain available to remedy issues. We thoroughly enjoy the results of the remodel."

"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

"They also installed kitchen cabinets and appliances. Very neat and efficient. Great job on floors and kitchen. Enjoyed working with Sean and his crew."

"I hired this contractor for a pergola rebuild due to water damage. Chris the owner is a finish carpenter and does extremely high quality work. Came out on a Saturday started the job on Monday and it extended for nearly 2 weeks. He was very meticulous in his planning and execution. Also had to work in harmony with a roofer handling that part of the repair. A challenge occurred in accommodating the structure and attaching the gutters and Chris came up with the ideal plan. Chris worked with a helper who was qualified as well for the work delegated to him. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and certainly would hire Chris again as appropriate."

"Mike and his team are excellent workers and the job turned out great.  Mike is very personable and knows his business."

"Kenny was amazing! Our home burned in the fires so this was new construction. He is very competent, diligent and a great communicator. I would recommend him without hesitation--he takes a lot of pride in his projects and clearly enjoys the building process. From the foundation pour to the final finish work, Kenny always made us feel as though we were a priority and our house looks fabulous."
