After interviewing nine contractors, Vince stood out immediately. His background as a framer and union superintendent gave me the confidence that he could manage the complexity of the job and handle any surprises -- and he absolutely delivered. The scope of work was extensive. Vince and his team installed 1,100 square feet of mixed engineered hardwood and tile flooring. They replaced all the baseboards, door trim, and doors with new, shaker-style finishes and updated all doorknobs. Electrical upgrades included installing new can lights and retrofitting existing ones, along with new light switches and outlets. A new French door was added to the exterior for improved aesthetics and energy efficiency. One of the standout custom features was a flush-mount range hood, which required Vince to reconfigure the ceiling joists -- a task most general contractors would have outsourced or avoided. His framing background allowed him to tackle it confidently and correctly. The two bathrooms were fully remodeled. In one, we reconfigured the walk-in shower. In the other, he installed a soaker tub and, impressively, added a hidden pop-out access door in case of leaks -- it's so seamless you'd never know it was there. That kind of forward-thinking and attention to detail was consistent throughout the project. Vince also identified mold and rot in the subflooring -- something no other contractor caught -- and made all necessary repairs. His partner Hugo did outstanding work on the bathrooms, and every subcontractor Vince brought in was professional, reliable, and well-managed. They didn't just focus on the visible upgrades -- they addressed everything behind the walls and under the floors to ensure the home was sound. The entire interior was painted as part of the job, pulling everything together with a clean, modern finish. Vince showed up early, stayed late, and treated this house like it was his own. He communicated clearly, solved problems quickly, and didn't nickel and dime us when surprises came up. His craftsmanship, honesty, and work ethic are rare in this industry. If you're looking for a builder who can handle complex renovations with precision, integrity, and true expertise, I can't recommend Shark City Builders highly enough.

We needed an engineer to calculate the loads, permits, steel beam fabrication (to replace our thicker wood beams), framing, door installation, drywall work, electrician to move outlets and switches, painting, taper, stucco work on the outside. Reyes and Amber managed the whole project. They kept us posted, explained every step, communicated very effectively, and dealt with the surprises that are inevitable on projects of this size really well. I would recommend Shark City builders to anyone. They bring "union quality" to everything they do and for a more than fair price.

During the process of removing our old flooring, Daniel discovered that our staircase wasn't up to code and could've caused injuries or become a liability. Thankfully, he caught it early and quickly came up with a plan and design mock up for a brand new staircase. The new stairs look incredible, feel super solid, and are up to code, even the nosing and measurements are perfect! Daniel's craftsmanship and attention to detail really show. On top of that, he even fixed our front French doors that had been rubbing by tightening the frame just right. Something that had been bugging us for months... Daniel and his crew were punctual, professional, and easy to work with. Their pricing was very fair, the quality was top-notch, and they even finished the job ahead of schedule.

Hired Joe's Concrete to replace a section of concrete with something thicker and reinforced…read more Pricing was very reasonable. Good communication, he showed up early and got it all done in one day. I didn't realize how out of level the existing slab was but he was able to accommodate and the section he poured was perfectly level. I did however end up renting a scarifier to bring down some parts 3/4" and grinding that smooth. In hindsight, I should have had Joe and his crew initially work it down like that from the start. But I guess in the moment it was too rushed to figure out the ideal compromise. The concrete delivery truck did come up short. He had to go and get bags to hand mix. That wasn't ideal since I was going off a spec sheet that said no hand mix. Overall it was an enjoyable little project and Joe and his crew did an excellent job. Can't wait to put the slab to use!

Will replaced our geriatric 1200 sq ft redwood deck with a new Trex deck and did a wonderful job…read more He spent time with us to understand what we wanted before preparing an estimate, and made some good suggestions on alternative approaches that would save us money. Once he was under contract he started work immediately and had his team on site every day that wasn't raining until the job was done. He was very close to his original proposed schedule, the additional time he needed was due to rainy weather. He communicated clearly and proactively throughout the process, and explained his findings during demolition of the old deck that resulted in one small change to the original contact. He was on site to check in with and direct his team every day. I can't say enough about the quality of workmanship and attention to detail that he and his team provided - our new deck is gorgeous.

I contacted Will and he came out the same day to measure the space and discuss my design needs. I wanted to use Mangaris (Red Balau) wood which requires special skills and tools. Will explained and sketched out the various detailed design aspects of my project. I was super impressed with Will's knowledge as he discussed the options and he was very easy to talk with. The next day he provided an estimate that was 30% less in labor than a previous contractor estimate. Will also provided me with 2 references of recent deck projects and they both gave him a glowing review -- I can totally see why! Will quickly bought all of the needed materials, and started as soon as the weather cooperated ( a couple days). He completed the deck in 3-1/2 days. Will was on site and part of the work team for the entire time which made me fell super comfortable -- so that he would both ensure that all of the design aspects we discussed were taken care of and that as owner and master craftsman he would ensure that the work quality would be first rate. His team of 2 additional craftsmen was also highly skilled and very professional. The deck came out beautiful, absolutely perfect, including all of the detailed touches -- he even added a screen barrier to ensure no critters would get under since that is a problem in my area. Also he coordinated very well with the main landscaper for the overall project. I am an Aerospace Engineer by profession and so I have exacting standards and want to understand all of the details. Throughout the projected we talked on the phone several times and Will was very always easy to reach and open with his advice and ideas. I really can't thank and recommend Will Framing (Will Aguilar) enough. Terrific!! Mark.

There were complexities involved with respect to a fireplace and two doors that also had lower levels. While Moises' estimate may not have been the lowest or highest of the ones I found, I got the most confidence from Moises and his team to be able to execute the project competently in the manner I needed. In contrast, competitors (some also with 5 star reviews on Yelp, others referred by acquaintances) were trying to force me into their own personal plan of the project, which quite predictably involved much more than I was asking to be done or needed - along with significantly higher risk, cost, and time for me, while of course making _them_ more money. This aspect is a typical problem with Bay Area contractors, in how they try to take advantage of their customers, so one always has to use their BS-meter. Moises stood out with his integrity, straightforwardness and customer-focus. The job was very well executed by Moises/team with great attention to detail, including guiding me to selecting quality material. Moises also personally supervised the progress of the project and the quality of the work being done. Highly recommended for very high quality work, honesty and very strong customer-focus of Moises and his crew.

I'd like to begin by saying that we had hired Nathan as project manager once before to remodel our…read moremaster bathroom. Because we were so happy with the entire process of that job, we wanted him to handle our kitchen remodel as well. The kitchen turned out great and we are very happy with the result but there were a few problems along the way. Ours was a pretty straightforward remodel, we wanted to paint our kitchen cabinets which were original to the home built in 1969, place new porcelain countertops with a waterfall at two ends, replace the vinyl flooring with porcelain planks, and repaint the walls and ceiling. Our kitchen is a rather small galley type kitchen, so the project wasn't huge, and was expected to be completed within 5-6 weeks. Things got off to a slow start, the installation of the floor took 5 days, and didn't include the grouting which was accomplished by a different employee on a separate day, so it actually took 6 days. The installer did a nice job, but was exceedingly slow. The flooring was covered with construction paper to protect it before the grout had been cleaned off, so when it did come time to clean it, the grout had completely dried, and was difficult to remove, and took an additional full day to complete. It was estimated that 3 slabs of porcelain would be needed for the counters, but we wanted to buy an extra slab because the veining on the porcelain we had selected was complex, and we wanted the sections to flow as perfectly as possible. After the countertops were installed, which turned out amazingly well, a crack developed in one section that ran from the front of the counter all the way to the wall. Nathan was great about the whole thing and agreed to obtain another slab in order to replace it, which he did. Almost immediately, the replaced section developed a crack in exactly the same spot as the first. It was at this point that it was realized that our counters weren't perfectly flat and level, nor were they sufficiently rigid, which is a must for porcelain slabs as they are somewhat fragile. After some adjustments which included the addition of an underlayer of Hardie board and some reinforcement of the counters structure to increase the rigidity, a 3rd section was placed. The matching of the veining was not as perfect as the first installation. This was disappointing, but we would have accepted that, however, because the height of the counter had been raised due to the installation of the Hardie board underneath, the waterfall end was no longer long enough to reach the floor. Without consulting us, the fabricator spliced on a narrow strip at the floor level which did not match the veining at all and noticeably stood out. I messaged Nathan right away, and he agreed that this was not an acceptable solution, and agreed to obtain even more counter material to replace the waterfall section. At this point I was becoming slightly annoyed and asked that two slabs be obtained so that the entire section of countertop, the waterfall as well as the next section which adjoined the piece that had cracked twice could once again be matched to the level that the original installation had obtained, and without hesitation, Nathan agreed, and much to his credit, and the craftsmanship of the fabricator, the 4th attempt came out beautifully, and we are delighted with the way it now looks. The project ended up taking a little more than 9 weeks instead of 6, however, because the installation took longer than expected, we had to halt progress for 4 days for a previously planned vacation, and an additional 2 days when we had another pressing matter to attend to that was originally scheduled to be beyond the expected completion date, so that six days was on us but only necessary because the project ran longer than anticipated. I was going to rate the job as 4 stars because of the problems with the porcelain installation, but because Nathan was so understanding and easy to work with, and went the extra mile to ensure a quality job in the end, we decided to give True Builders the full 5 stars. To sum up, we are delighted with our new kitchen, but we think that a lot of the delay and frustration could have been avoided if someone had checked to ensure that our cabinets were suitable for the installation of porcelain slabs prior to the actual installation. Despite that, the work was completed to our satisfaction, and Nathan was terrific throughout the entire process, we couldn't be happier with the end result.
