Was referred to Cali Builders by restoration company to repair our kitchen and living due to water damage. From the get go, Lisa was communicative about the entire process. She explained the things I should expect. She worked alongside myself and the insurance company to ensure that all needs were met. She was able to answer questions I had and her team was able to do a great job and putting our condo back into one piece. It was a bit stressful going through the process of repairs, but not because of Cali Builders, but mainly due to the insurance company not being super responsive. Once the insurance started to release money, progress started on the projected and sped up quickly. The work was done on time and within budget. I would definitely use their services again to assist on future projects. Thanks again Lisa! read more

We had a water leak and Lisa was recommended to do the remodel we had planned. At first everything seemed perfect. Afterwards it was anything but. Issues with baseboards seams in which Lisa did have fixed. Now my countertop has several small chips in it which I texted Lisa to let her know over 2 weeks ago and have not heard from her regarding this issue. Now I noticed the cabinet installers knowingly installed a damaged cabinet face. I just let her know and will probably be waiting for an answer similar to the non answer I received about the countertops. I just wish she had someone come here once the work was over to thoroughly inspect everything. Someone who knows what they are doing because a homeowner only catches these things well after the fact. Lisa finally got back to me. Probably because of this review. I would go elsewhere considering my experience. She bluntly said everything was out of warranty for workmanship and that my issues were clearly wear and tear. Well Lisa, if that is the case why didn't you just send me that message several weeks ago when I pointed these issues out? You said you would look into it. I leave a poor review and now it is pound sand. Good luck. If you call the number listed nobody answers the phone. That is always sketchy. read more

Lisa and David of Cali Builders & Remodeling worked on our bathroom repair from a water damage. They made this experience as stress-free as possible. Lisa is so amazing on what she does. She really worked hard to make sure that our insurance will cover all the cost, which lifted so much burden financially. She gave us high quality materials to choose from. She made sure that we are up to date and answered our queries promptly. David came to supervise their contractors, who were professional, thorough and reliable. I love our new bathroom!!! . This company's top notch work turned our biggest nightmare into an absolute dream. Highly recommended!!! read more

When Lisa tells you that you don't have to pay her company until you get paid, do not believe her. She threaten me to halt the construction that is delayed by multiple reasons unless I pay her first. Even after I paid, the responses were extremely slow and construction was barely done. When Lisa tells you that Cali Builders will repair the rest of the damage that is not covered by your insurance plan, at a out-of-pocket price and not insurance price, be prepare to pay $8000+ to remove wood flooring and install Costco engineered wood flooring that doesn't require nailing or gluing for 270 sf, materials not included. I was shocked by the quote which took 3 months to prepare, and asked for itemized details, only to be told "take it or leave it, we don't prepare quote with detail". When Lisa fires you after 3.5 months in the line and took 90% of the claim funds, don't be surprised. I was told by my tenants who were doing the scheduling that this project is cancelled and I would be refunded, without even knowing I was fired. No communication from Cali or Lisa at all. And now she has my money, project is canceled, and I am completely screwed. Conveniently, no refund schedule is provided. Shocker? read more

Filing an insurance claim can be intimidating. However, Cali Builders and Remodeling was great to work with. Lisa is very attentive and knowledgeable about the insurance process. Personable, I felt very comfortable asking questions, which made a very stressful situation less stressful. Her attention to detail is what stands out most, she seeks to listen. So if you have an insurance claim, I recommend you contact Lisa! read more

I highly recommend using Caliview Builders as a general contractor for your home construction project needs. Ori and his crew did an excellent job in renovating and waterproofing my upper balcony. They were always on time, courteous, and cleaned up well after working. Ori even came over the next morning when I said I noticed a water leak in my living room after a heavy rain, and resolved several minor issues for free, to boot. Caliview's pricing was competitive, and the company is licensed, bonded, and insured, which gave me peace of mind. Ori speaks several languages, and has a pleasant personality. Give the company a try! read more

A complete experience - I highly recommend Lisa and David's team at Cali Builders and Remodeling! Lisa remodeled our kitchen after water damage, she worked closely and secured the budget required to repair the kitchen, allowing to afford a full kitchen remodel. What started as a catastrophe resulted in a beautiful new kitchen that the we love. Once work started, Cali Builders made the process as smooth and painless as possible. Cali Builders was incredibly responsive and all the workers were top-notch, they diligently followed up on every single item when other contractors might have disappeared. We could not have had a better experience in terms of quality, service, and speed. Thank you Lisa and David! I will recommend to friends and family! read more

Best contracting and building experience ever!! I had about nine companies over a period of five months to assess and give estimates on a very precarious project I wanted to complete. When Lisa and her crew came in not only did they show me that it was attainable but also had extremely creative problem-solving solutions that the previous companies did not. As a homeowner I am so relieved that I have a trustworthy and experienced company in my back pocket that I can always call. Thank you so much Cali builders!!! read more

Lol at the ex employee tanking the review score. Small compromises and surprises, but at the core, they're committed to providing a quality experience. Competitive pricing. Quick work. When I pointed out a problem, they addressed it the following day. It was really impressive. Thanks guys! read more

I have been looking to get an estimate for my kitchen and as many other homeowners I've met with a few contractors. I was very impressed with the presentation and professionalism that I got. Jacob was very profound, clearly not a sales guy like some of the other people that came by. He had construction knowledge and gave me some great insight. I felt that they were honest and fair and gave me a very thorough estimate for the project. I have hired them to start my kitchen remodel project and am looking forward to getting started. read more

Absolutely terrible service and communication from Lisa. We had water damage in our bathroom and needed it repaired. Our plumber referred us to a restoration company that then referred Cali Builders to us. We ignored a couple red flags from Cali Builders at the start since this was our first time doing an insurance claim. First, Lisa takes forever to respond to our texts and when she does, she would be rude, condescending, and passive aggressive. At one point we went 2 weeks without hearing any update or anyone working on our home. Secondly, she would send people to our home with no heads up or tell us what they were there for. So unprofessional. We would only find out because our camera would notify us of movement outside our home. If not for the cameras, I doubt Lisa would even contact us. Third, Cali Builders has outrages prices with no justification. Lisa claimed it was the insurance that set the prices that high but when we asked the insurance, they told us they're going based on the prices Cali Builders is requesting. In the end, we were out of our home for 3 months before we finally cancelled the contract with them when Lisa refused to give us a timeline for how much longer the repairs would take. Unfortunately, since we thought we were in good hands when we signed the contract, we had to pay their ridiculously high prices after she threaten us with a mechanical lien. We paid Lisa $20k for a job that was only 1/4 done. We could only imagine how much more stressful it would have been to continue working with Cali Builders. I would not recommend Cali Builders to anyone. read more

I hired Cali for my project to add a bedroom and bath to my 1600 square foot home. We had blueprints and were looking high and low for someone who is an actual contractor, who understands what we are looking for and who can do an honest job.  During the search we came across Cali and they stood out because of their professionalism and excellent service. When comparing companies, we kept coming back to them and felt that it was a good decision. This kind of project is a long and involved process and we wanted to make sure that we did it with someone who would maintain their integrity and professionalism throughout the process.  The crew did a great job, were polite, and clearly very experienced. The office was great at communication and solving any hiccups that came up. We were really able to go about our lives while the work was happening and felt that we were in good hands. I like to recommend good people and Cali Builders gave me a great project and a good experience and I would like to share that. read more

Very positive experience. Communication was great - Lisa was extremely helpful and professional throughout.
