Justin and his family were the real deal. I had them build a gazebo around my hot tub that featured a steam room and area for ice baths as well. Even with a pandemic restricting parts and materials they finished in the timeline they gave and I loved it. We’re hiring them for our rental house remodel next

A2Z Remodeling Inc
5.0
Dor and his team were incredible from the start. They walked through many consultations with my family and made clear a variety of options that could happen based on city code, layout of the house and functional needs of my family. During COVID, my parents decided to complete a remodel that initially started with removing a wall for extra space in the kitchen. That then turned into rewiring and insulating part of the house, updating electrical panels, moving and redesigning bathrooms and laundry rooms. Dor and his team were the best and incredibly professional. They are hard working and respect your time. They are efficient and will literally do anything that you want, but will also give reasons why your idea may or may not be successful. My family was extremely happy with the final result and the home looks beautiful. I would recommend A2Z to anyone around

HomeTech Construction & Design
5.0
Highly recommend HomeTech Construction & Designs, our experience with them could not have been better! We have been dealing with our oddly shaped master bathroom and small galley kitchen for years and finally decided to hire a professional to create a more functional space We met with a few design-build firms before decided to hire Hometech. Moses & his team were helpful, accommodating and extremely transparent with us. They came up with great suggestions how we could enlarge and open the kitchen as well as extend and redo out master suite to crate “true” his and hers vanity and closets. They were very transparent and explained everything that was needed to be done, answered all of our questions with detail and overly communicated throughout the project. It was really a pleasure working with them. We are so thrilled and happy on the outcome of our remodel in Los Altos

SOD Home Group
5.0
SOD Home Group completed a major remodel and home addition project for us. We interviewed a few other contractors, but SOD stood out because of their fair pricing, confidence and professionalism. We interviewed two other home owners who had used SOD in the past and they had great things to say about Oren and his group. They transformed our ageing 1600 sq.ft. home into an amazing 2900 sq. ft. that is absolutely breathtaking. Since this was our dream home being built, we were very involved in selecting materials for the project and the SOD team was very accommodating. They also worked well with other contractors like HVAC, fire sprinkler and sidewalk. They executed the job to perfection while coordinating with the city for inspections. They did a great job with everything from the laying of the new foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing. The best part was that they did an excellent job of finishing including flooring, painting, etc. They were very responsive to fixing minor touch-ups even after we had moved in. I would whole heartedly recommend SOD

I've had the pleasure of working with Calvin on several projects. His attention to detail and mindfulness of the complete project ensure that projects come out beautifully. He's a good problem solver and is focussed on getting a great result. We look forward to working with him again some day soon.

"I thought that they were pretty professional and they had some kind of unique services that they were offering. They were also offering to do the design and they had some really good ideas. The quoted price was on the high side. They were pretty prompt and they were very nice. Actually they came over a few times to the house. I think there are 3 brothers that own this and they're professional, they knew what they were doing, and they had some good ideas. I can't remember why we ended up not going with them. Overall, I thought they were pretty professional and they were customer oriented. There was a couple of times that I had to call them to remind them about my appointment but I think overall, it was pretty good. I will definitely use them for a quote.

"<strong>Pros</strong>
<br />
<em>General Quality of Work</em>
<br /> During construction it was obvious that VHB takes pride in the work they do. I noticed the plywood subfloor was tongue and groove, glued and screwed to the floor joists to minimize squeaks. I am not sure what the code requirements are, but I was really pleased with how this was done.The bathroom tile work was well done. The tile guys worked late on multiple days to get this job done in a timely manner. My wife and I were really pleased with the results.Very willing to resolve issues even after they received payment for a milestone.There are many examples where they added extras without us asking them to.
<br /> These examples include:
<br /> - Adding extra attic vents
<br /> - Making the roofer come back to open up cutouts in roof for vents (I didn?t notice or ask them to do this)
<br />
<em>Freebees</em>
<br /> These are items that for various reasons, they openly took responsibility for and provided at no additional cost:
<br /> - Interior insulation
<br /> - Extra Attic ventilation
<br /> - Extra Attic Access
<br /> - Crown Molding
<br /> - Extra Schluter trim for tile in bathroom
<br /> - Refinishing of hardwood floor
<br />
<strong>Cons</strong>
<br />
<em>Contract for Design</em>
<br /> The contract that we signed stated that the $2700 we paid for the design would be applied to the total cost of our addition. When we settled on a price for the addition we asked if the $2700 would be deducted as stated on the contract and they said ?no?, it was already deducted for the final price. We told them that we thought this was kind of misleading and they gave us a $1000 credit.They told us they could not relocate existing sprinkler systems or pavers that were to be impacted by the addition. They said we would have to get outside contractors to handle this on our own. All other home remodeling companies we interviewed said they would be happy to relocate pavers and sprinkler systems for us. We are not sure why VHB had such a ?unique? response.
<br />
<em>Windows</em>
<br /> We originally requested double hung windows for the project to match the windows with the rest of the house. When the windows came they were casement style. When I asked why this was done, they said it was needed to have enough window area to meet fire code. When they drew up the original plans they didn?t account for this and make the window opening wide enough for double hung. Because extra time and reengineering would be required to widen the window opening, they chose to increase the height. As a result our windows are almost as high as a door.
<br />
<em>Communication</em>
<br /> Between themselves - issues communicating between Designer and PM. Shower niches not located where the designer told us they could be. This was because we were going to locate the niches on a structural shear wall.
<br /> Directly with them - Kept confusing our project with another, similar project.
<br />
<em>Use of Personal Items</em>
<br /> VHB touts their Angies List awards and exceptional service as compared to other contractors. Because of this, I was a little surprised to see the framers and subcontractors using our personal items. Some of the personal items they used include:
<br /> - Hose coil used and damaged. Never replaced.
<br /> - Hose reel used in place of the hose coil that was damaged above.
<br /> - I had a 5 gallon bucket in the garage used to store automotive grease guns. The grease guns were placed on the garage floor so they could use our bucket. As a result I walked into garage one day to find a large grease stain on the floor where the guns were laid (They offered to clean the grease stain).
<br /> - Another 5 gallon bucket was taken from the garage to perform tile work. It was never returned.
<br /> - A push broom was taken from garage and used on job site.
<br /> - Patio Swing - We have a patio swing that I noticed was getting dusty from all the construction so we covered it in plastic. A few days later we noticed the plastic was pulled off. I guess the framers liked using the porch swing for their lunch break? In any case it got pretty dusty and just another item we had to clean.
<br /> All of the items in question were used to perform the job. Almost every item was worth $20 or less. Nothing was deliberately stolen or maliciously damaged. With that said, it would have been nice to get a phone call, email, or text basically stating something like ?hey, just wanted to let you know that we needed to use this or that out of the garage?.
<br />
<em>Determination of Grade</em>
<br /> Started with an A+ and adjusted their grade based on the following:
<br /> - Windows, subtract 1, A
<br /> - Use of personal items, subtract 1, A
<br /> - Design contract issues, subtract 1, B+
<br /> - Communication, subtract 1, B
<br /> - Freebees, add 1, B+
<br /> Overall Grade B+, truncated to B for Angies list
