The best! My mom hired Gilor Construction for a full ADU remodel at her house, and the experience…read moreexceeded expectations. They started in mid-December and finished by April 7, earlier than we anticipated, and that timeline included a major setback: an 80-foot redwood tree fell on the house during a Christmas storm. The roof was crushed, part of the structure separated, and we lost power for nearly a week. It was a stressful situation, and they handled it. They repaired all of the damage and still completed the full project within budget. That alone says a lot about how they run their jobs. Or Haim, the owner, is very communicative and genuinely cares about making sure everything meets expectations. That level of involvement made a difference. The fantastic onsite team was led by Jesus, who treated the project like it was his own home. He was thoughtful, detail-oriented, and clearly took pride in the work. We would absolutely hire Gilor again and are happy to serve as a reference.

We had an excellent experience with Gilor Remodeling Group, especially Jesus (project manager) and…read moreArturo (one of the work crew). We've done several other home improvement projects in the past and had such a headache with the contractors and sub-contractors not showing up when they said they would, or not paying attention to details, so I know how rare it is to find a contractor you actually like! Plus, their bid came in much lower than the three other contractors who quoted for us. We replaced four bathroom vanities which seemed like a small project, but required more skilled work than we originally imagined - including redoing plumbing and moving electrical to accommodate the new layout of vanity, mirrors, and lighting. The crew was very careful to cover surfaces to prevent damage (and also avoid dust getting on all our things) and to clean up their tools and equipment at the end of each day so we could have our space back. Arturo did really stellar work and clearly pays attention to the small details, like smooth caulking lines and patching each little area of drywall and paint to ensure a completely finished project. Their communication was great, and when we ran into a few hiccups with how to best install wainscoting, Jesus ensured we were happy with the plan before the crew moved forward with it. All in all, we really recommend Gilor and will be using them again for future home projects.

First: I have not used Troy Construction. So why am I reviewing them? Because out of half a dozen…read morecontractors we met, Bulent was my favorite. We did not choose Troy Construction due mainly due to timing (he couldn't start our project for 3-4 months due to his busy schedule). So why was he my favorite? He was down to earth, was very enthusiastic, clearly understood what we wanted to do, and had a lot of useful advice for us. Even though he had a busy schedule (which we didn't know until we asked him when he could start the project), he spent over an hour with us discussing our project. While we ultimately chose another contractor, we already know we want to use Troy Construction for our next big house project...

Tom is knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He guided us through the entire process, including when and where to purchase materials and fixtures, and kept us informed every step of the way, including scheduling and passing inspections. His crew was efficient, skilled, and pleasant to work with. They maintained a professional attitude throughout the project and delivered quality workmanship. We were so pleased with the experience that we ended up adding a few smaller projects in our kitchen as well. Their pricing was reasonable, communication was excellent, and they delivered on their commitments. Most importantly, they earned our trust through their honesty, reliability, and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Bay Home Remodeling to anyone looking for a dependable contractor for their home renovation projects.

Knowing that we could hire Marius and his crew again, made the purchase of our new 'fixer upper' possible. We saved for two years and after a 4 month renovation, the final inspection was completed today! Marius' team of Vali and John did incredible work, once again! This time, the project was much bigger than a relatively simple kitchen make-over. We redid almost everything- New hardwood floors New kitchen with new cabinets, sink, back-splash, counter, the works Two new bathrooms with complete updates including new tile floors, new showers/tub, new fixtures, paint, lighting, etc. A new loft above our bedroom to create a reading nook A new walk-in closet to connect our bedroom and bathroom, resulting in a true 'master suite' The pictures tell the full story. Everything came in on budget and except for the Holiday break, Vali worked 6 days a week to complete the project on time, even though we added an extra project (loft) mid-way through construction. When you hire Marius Construction, know that what Marius does best is understand your vision, then put together a talented team of people to deliver. Marius doesn't need to be 'on site' every day, he knows his people (like Vali and John) will get things right and uphold his reputation as a General Contractor.

We have been continually impressed with their attention to detail and their craftmanship. Sorin was very accommodating of our long drawn-out decision making process, offering suggestions to speed things up, and offering patience for long delays we created with the materials we ordered. At almost every step of the way, his team pointed out small but important details that we would have missed and worked with us to come up with solutions and balance between the tradeoffs. I would be absolutely happy to go with Feraru & Associates again on another major project.

Their design/build capabilities, broad experience and portfolio of completed projects are all very impressive. We were considering various approaches to a bedroom/bathroom remodel, and Sorin and his team walked us through multiple possibilities, listened carefully to our feedback, and set us on a path that matched our needs precisely. They also provided us with a lot of insight into the steps need to take the project from start to finish, and all of this was reflected in a very thorough bid. Sorin's communication, promptness, and follow-through have all been exemplary. We'd be glad to work with Sorin on any other projects in the future.

The stairs…read morewere in really poor shape and felt like they were ready to fall down, so we needed the work done immediately. Harvey was extremely responsive and his crew started quickly. He communicated clearly about what was possible and was honest when the stairs turned out to be in worse condition than first assessed. The team replaced the unsalvageable parts and stabilized the rest, and the workmanship on the parts they replaced looks solid. All-in-all there was only so much they could do given the stairs were built incorrectly and were in very bad condition, but they pulled through and got everything into a safe, workable state. Harvey was also a really nice guy to talk with. Professional, personable, and easy to work with. He kept us informed when the timeline shifted, worked efficiently, and left the area tidy when they finished.

Harvey Varga took on a whole list of things that we needed done--from building a 150-foot fence, building a sidewalk and concrete pad, rebuilding kitchen cabinets to install a dishwasher, putting in a new vent fan, fixing an improperly installed dryer vent, etc. He was very responsive to our initial request for work and had a crew with a couple of days. Each task was given detailed attention and done with perfection. His crews were efficient, competent, thoughtful, and quiet. They were respectful of us, our property, our neighbors, and our dogs, and cleaned up at the end of each day. It was a pleasure to work with Harvey Varga and his crews. We give him and them our highest recommendation particularly for someone who has a mix of small and large jobs. Tom & Virginia

The crew was respectful, showed up when they said they would, and left everything clean when they finished. After the recent rain, everything worked exactly as promised -- we finally have real peace of mind and can relax when it rains. Huge thank you to the Hilltop Builders team.

They show up when they say they will, work hard throughout the day, and clean up at the end of every day. That has made living through multiple renovation projects so much easier. He's also always been fair and transparent with us. Additionally if we notice something after the work is done or there's a small issue that needs to be addressed, he's responsive about coming back and making it right. Our bathroom turned out beautifully, and we're so happy with the finished space. There were a lot of details involved, and his team did a great job bringing everything together.

Having a contractor you trust in your home is invaluable, and we really appreciate the relationship we've built with him.
