    Fixing my rotted door base
    Christina Y.

    I called this place because I needed some repairs on my heater duct, doorway fixes. They were super responsive on yelp and even told me they could send someone over the same day in the afternoon. I opted for the next day to collect the things I needed fixed. Slav came by on time the next day and took a look and I appreciated his work on not only fixing the basic bits but the problem solving involved for the other stuff (they turned out to be a bit more complicated than either of us expected). I was able to pay with credit card and it was really quick and seamless. Thank you so much!

    We hired them to replace a vanity. It seemed to go well at first, but afterwards we noticed that the drain in the sink basin was higher than it should be, which resulted in water pooling around it instead of draining entirely. We were told that "that's just the design of it." We gave them the benefit of the doubt and reached out to the manufacturer about the drain being faulty (and they believed us because the pictures showed it was installed so high off the basin). About an hour later, we discovered the whole thing was leaking significantly into our brand-new vanity. When we reported it, they claimed it was because we had used it too soon. (For the record, we hadn't touched it since the plumber left hours earlier.) This didn't sit right with us--after all, the basic expectation of new plumbing is that it doesn't leak. We had the plumber return, and he was able to stop the leak. It turned out he had used a layer of putty that the installation instructions didn't call for. Even as he removed it, he tried to blame the issue on our "old pipes." Honestly, if they had just acknowledged the mistake, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But the whole experience felt a bit gaslight-y (we included screenshots of the messages--you can decide for yourself). It seemed like they were trying to take advantage of the fact that we're not professional plumbers. We no longer feel we can trust them and will not be hiring them again.

    Fast communication, excellent work, done quickly. Replaced entire front door and repaired dry rot damage. Price was very reasonable, and they were upfront about options to meet my needs at different price points.

    After vanity and toilet install

    I ultimately chose this company because of their communication through messages on yelp. I was messaging questions all day and they had tremendous amount of patience for me! They also very quickly and kindly explained everything, they were so nice. I also liked how they kept me updated with who was going to be arriving, at what time (and they were on time!), approximately how long the job would take and any additional fees that might pop up. Allan showed up on time, was focused the whole time, and did a wonderful job tearing out our old toilet, vanity, and vanity top and installing a new vanity and fancy smart tankless bidet toilet. The bidet toilet was a complicated install. They asked for the link ahead of time so they could review the manual and be ready on site. Allan did a great job patching the wall, installing, and cleaning up. Highly recommend Allan and Be James Team company.

    During repairing

    We reached out to the Be James Team to address cracking and water protection concerns on our front stairs. This is a long overdue project. In the past, I have made attempts through local community (NextDoor) and got nominations. The first attempt failed when the contractor did not show up at all on the scheduled date. The second attempt failed in the middle of several conversations. So we valued a lot for timely and responsive contacts. This is where Be James Team attracted me. From the beginning, they impressed us with their clear communication. They reviewed the photos we shared, explained the issues thoughtfully, and were upfront about what their team could handle and what might require a larger scope. I can see that they treat the information professionally. Scheduling was smooth, and they kept us well-informed throughout. The technician who came was courteous, professional, and worked carefully -- paying close attention to details and taking the time to do the job properly. The technician speaks limited English, and so we basically texted each other to communicate. However, from his work, he seems to have good knowledge and experience. So here is the timeline of our project with Be James Team. I sent request on Yelp on a Wednesday, and Be James responded momentarily and professionally (gave their insights, quotes etc). I reached out to them again on Sunday after interviewed a few other options. And we finalized the date for their technician's visit (the coming Wednesday). And the technician came on time, and it took 8 hrs to get the job done that day (including shopping for materials needed). While we haven't gone through a rainy season yet to fully evaluate how effective the sealing is long-term, the team clearly took the work seriously and addressed the vulnerable areas with care. We're happy with the experience so far and appreciated their honesty and thoroughness. Would recommend them based on our experience to date!

I was definitely persuaded by these reviews - and now will question every business that has 5 star reviews. Do your homework and don't be fooled. Project took much longer than what it should have because they were disorganized and would forget certain things (the foreman would even admit that the PM should have told me certain things!) that I would have imagined a contractor had down pat in terms of sequencing. They use some subcontractors and you are at the mercy of their schedules. They just are not organized (you will do a lot of the reminding, checking in, following up, and certain things still may not happen). They failed inspections meaning more cost (it is their job to pass these! It says this in any contract!) If it seemed as though I was questioning something, the PM got defensive and sometimes unprofessional, gaslighting me in a very aggressive manner. I saved the communication, in fact. The people I worked with directly were young and it showed in the almost-too-casual style of communication and lack of professionalism. I surrendered towards the end and just wanted the project done and everyone gone. I feel completely foolish that I went with the significantly higher estimate thinking it would offer a smooth, superior experience. The actual people who did the work worked hard though and did nice work - hence the two stars. But at the end of the day, it's actually hard to enjoy the work as I am reminded by the months of bad experiences - up to the very end. You can find more experienced contractors out there for equal quality of workmanship and for a more competitive price. I am using a different contractor now for other work at the property - it's a 180 degree difference - they have a dedicated team for my project, meaning time to completion is more accurate and on time; they have a dedicated person to procure the finishes and fixtures, not myself; they are way more organized and even provided me a timeline of what to expect and communicate with me what time they are showing up and what progress was made that day (!!); they are bringing a truly expert eye with attention to detail that ELEVATES the space and are teaching me to ask things I didn't even know I should KNOW to ask; and most importantly, I feel truly comfortable asking questions without defensiveness and aggressive steamrolling in their answers. I received none of this level of care or expertise with MHR, and I want you to know that you should expect these things!!!

This makes no sense because we just want to get a ballpark to see if it's even make sense to continue. But anyway, on the date of the site visit, the guy come without any tool for measurements and for note taking. The guy just spent like 20 mins walking around the house and said he will get back to us with a quote. But I never hear back from them since. I think the company is very picky on clients and like to see if they have enough money to pay for their service. If they think we cannot afford it, they will just cut all the communications.

    We hired Prime Design for a home remodel project, but unfortunately the experience has been very…read moredisappointing. There have been multiple unresolved issues with the quality of work and follow-through. One example is an LED light that continues to flicker. It has been more than six months, with many calls and text messages, but the issue still has not been fixed. Another example is damage to our garage cabinet, where a hole was created during the work. We are still waiting for this to be repaired as well. Overall, the lack of timely resolution and poor communication after the project has been extremely frustrating.

    We contracted Prime Design & Build to remodel two bathrooms, a laundry room, a staircase, and to…read moreinstall hardwood flooring. Overall, the project went well, and we're happy with the final results. Bryan, our foreman, was a strong asset to the project. Even though he was managing multiple jobs at the same time, his responsiveness and willingness to go out of his way to address our concerns made a big difference. Because we were home throughout the process, we were able to catch issues early and communicate them directly to Bryan, who consistently followed through to resolve them. What Went Well: * The tile and flooring subcontractors were excellent - their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stood out. * Bryan, our foreman, was responsive to texts and phone calls, listened to our concerns, and made sure they were addressed. He even designed a bi-fold closet door for us, and helped pick up all the material to build it. * Bryan also took the initiative to handle several unfinished items himself, which we really appreciated. * The post-build cleaners were top-notch and left the space in pristine condition. * Throughout the project, everyone we interacted with was professional, courteous, and conscientious. There were no conflicts or issues, which made the experience comfortable for us. Areas for Improvement: * The timeline was a pain point. While we were originally told the project would take 6-8 weeks, it ended up stretching to 12 weeks. * The design process fell short of expectations. Because Prime's in-house designers weren't available, our design work was outsourced. We only received a full design package for the master bathroom. As a result, we ended up creating our own renderings for the other rooms to help communicate our vision to the team. That said, we were very happy with the design and material selections for the master bathroom they did complete. We just wish the same level of attention and design support had been provided for the rest of the project. * At times, resource availability was limited, likely due to workers being assigned to multiple jobs. This led to workflow inefficiencies and delays. Toward the end of our renovation, our foreman Bryan had to personally step in to complete several tasks, such as installing faucets, shelving, and baseboards. He managed to get it done in between site visits and meetings, which we appreciated, but it also highlighted a lack of available crew to close out the project. Despite these few challenges, the quality of the work met our expectations. We appreciated the team's effort and the final outcome.

Since we were short on time, we decided to find a new contractor to complete our new house.

When we met Yuvi for the first time, he immediately understood our vision and came up with great ideas and creative ways to make it work within our space. A few days later, Yuvi came back with two detailed quotes and patiently walked us through both options. He answered all our questions and helped us choose what would work best for our home and budget. From there, everything moved smoothly. The permitting took around three weeks, and construction was finished in about two and a half months, right on schedule and with no surprises. We also want to mention Adrian, the designer, who was such a pleasure to work with. He helped us choose all the materials and finishes while staying within our budget. His eye for design and attention to detail made the whole process so much easier and enjoyable. The combination of functionality and style he brought to the project made a huge difference. Throughout the whole process, the crew was respectful, clean, and very professional. They paid attention to every little detail, and it really shows in the final result. Our new master suite looks amazing, and it feels like it has always been part of the house. We are so happy we chose Masterful Construction for this project and would absolutely work with them again in the future.
