"I hired So Cal Builders & Design Inc"

"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."

"Cheree and her team worked fast and efficient. They turned a 50 year old house into something brand new, with full remodels on our kitchen and 3 bathrooms, as well as all new lighting, wiring, plumbing, paint, trim, floors and ceilings throughout every party of the house in only a few months! And because the house is this old, things have settled since all that major work, and Cheree has been there any time something required a follow up"

"They transformed a whole old garage into a beautiful and new ADU thanks to them now my whole house is spectacular, thank you very much for the great work you did, I love it, I recommend this business , it is an excellent company. They worked quickly, safely and professionally, a company I can trust."

"We chose pre-fabricated granite slabs with standard bull-nose edge; therefore the good cost. The extra seams required by pre-fab are tricky and require superb craftsmanship. And that's what John Bailey of Coastal Kitchen & Bath provided. I'm so pleased to have encountered a core of honest craftsmen who did quality, professional kitchen/bath upgrades to my home. This contractor and craftsmen did fabulous work: competitively priced, on-time, per agreement, high-end quality work and good clean-up ... and no lying or exaggeration. (Even though it's been an ordeal for me, it would have been far worse if I had to chase down incompetency.)"

"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."

"Very extensive remodel: An elevator was installed in my house which needed the front entrance to be pushed out. At the same time remodeled two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and had a deck built over the garage. I a can now see the ocean! David was a joy to work with, and his employees were very competent. Excellent quality Very happy."

"Our backyard remodel with D2A Construction was a fantastic experience. Dani was our point person and made everything so easy. He was professional, patient, and made sure we were comfortable with every decision. The crew worked quickly but never rushed, focusing on quality and details. From the new patio stones to the outdoor kitchen area, everything was executed perfectly. Communication was excellent, and we never felt out of the loop. The site was always clean, and the whole process felt seamless with no hidden fees or surprises. Definitely recommend them for anyone looking for quality and professionalism!"

"Wonderful!   These guys are pros.   We had a tough job because we wanted the curbing to cut into some large and smaller boulders.   We also wanted colored concrete.  They did an excellent job!  I would recommend highly."
