There was no way I was prepared to take on repainting a massive bedroom with high ceilings and plenty of trim. I sent out a request for quotes and Julio was one of the first contractors to respond. He showed up the same day for an estimate with a great attitude. His estimate was reasonable so I hired him on the spot. (Note: some contractors were quoting 2-3x for the same work). Not only was he on time (15min early) but he and his partner were professional, cleanly, efficient, and did a hell of a good job. Absolutely no regrets.

He always arrived on time first thing in the morning, the projects were completed when he estimated they would be done, and the work is well done and beautiful. He cleans the space nicely when the project is finished. He is a straightforward and responsive communicator and offers a fair price. I also really appreciate that he easily helps out where needed, like helping to move furniture or doing smaller repairs. Over the past five years we've done multiple home improvement projects with three different contractors before Essa and each time the projects ended with frustration and disappointment, each time for different reasons, and it left us feeling always worried we could never find someone new who is trustworthy, on time, and delivers well done work. Essa was all of those things for us, and we have now hired him on three recent projects, two large projects (floor installation for entire floor of our home and opening an outdoor stair and drain and replacing everything) and also a collection of small repairs, painting, and installations around our home, and all has gone well and looks great! Thank you Essa! We will definitely be in touch for any help needed in our home in the future!

I am not one to write bad reviews. But what has prompted me…read moreto write this is HORRENDOUS customer service and bad workmanship. I had my kitchen backsplash done by Stephen's team in October of 2011. Got that...2011! The grout immediately went brown in various places (it was supposed to be white). I called right away. And called.. And called... In 2012 I got hold of Stephen on the phone who promised to send someone out to fix it...uh huh...that was 2012. It is now 2013. I just called again, and at this point am filing a complaint to the BBB. I cannot tell you how badly I was treated. Sure, my job was a small job, and if they ONLY want big jobs then SAY SO and don't take us little paying customers. Don't use this company. They treat you like crap.

They didn't want to re-tile the entire entryway, so Tile Arts carefully pulled out the cracked tiles, cut new tiles to fit, and put the new tiles into place. We didn't have any leftover tiles, so we had to find some that were a reasonable match and hope for the best. OMG, you cannot even tell the difference between the old and new tiles, and the grout is perfectly matched to the existing (but weathered) grout. I'm not sure how they managed to make that happen! Ha! But it looks fab. Stephen was really easy to work with, charged a very fair price, and did the work on time and with great results. Highly recommend.

The filth spread to every surface in my apartment and I am still trying to clean it up 18 months after the roof work. The foreman also lied about the clean up they were going to do.

A complete gut remodel interior & exterior started in November 2024. The quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the project were exceptional--especially their tile & slab work, which really stood out. The finished spaces reflect the level of precision and care expected from a top-tier contractor. Like most large, complex renovations, this project came with its share of challenges and unforeseen structural discoveries. Kasas worked collaboratively to problem-solve and adapt as the project evolved, often stepping in to help fill the gap where our original architect was no longer involved. Their team maintained professionalism and a strong commitment to achieving a beautiful end result. As a client with a high attention to detail and a strong opinion in design, I appreciated how the team welcomed my input and worked with their subcontractors to realize the vision. They coordinated well with local inspectors to meet all regulations while still honoring the aesthetic direction I provided. While the overall timeline extended beyond the initial plan, the outcome demonstrates quality workmanship. Budget adjustments were consistent with what's typical for projects of this scale and complexity. In the end, Kasas Builders delivered a stunning, high-quality renovation. I often get compliments from visitors & requests about materials that I selected for the project. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor capable of executing high-end work with integrity and craftsmanship.

We also sometimes realizes permit drawings for other designers who would rather not go through the challenges of assemble drawings and legal documents required by cities to acquire building permits. Such was the case was the when I received a phone call. "I'm Christopher Gates and I'm working on the O. project in San Francisco and I think we're missing a real opportunity." Chris went on to explain that the upper and lower levels of the project were connected by a set of non conforming stairs, which were grandfathered in by not touching them, but were't the most enjoyable to navigate. The previous designer had elected not to touch those stairs. But Chris suggested something extraordinary: "Perhaps we can carve out some space from the adjacent closet, a bathroom, and a light well, and make a set of beautiful stairs with a skylight above that unifies the home right when you walk through the front door. Are you interested in checking it out?" As one who wants my clients to really love their new home, I was a little embarrassed that I'd miss the opportunity myself. But even more, I was super grateful for Chris's suggestion as well as his palpable enthusiasm, especially when so many architects and builders are willing just to gloss over it just to get it done quickly. "Hell yes!" I said. We scheduled a time to meet, trouble shot the challenges, and over the next 10 days, co-created an amazing solution together. Yesterday, nearly nine months since that first meeting, I had the chance to check it out the (nearly) finished project. Chris and his fantastic team had totally transformed the place, from a chopped up, piecemeal layout to a spacious, light-filled home with all the essential amenities a family needs. Thank you, Chris, for making me a better designer through your curiosity, fantastic work, and service to your clients!

Our house on upper market was suffering from a terrible foundation leak that was exasperated by the…read morerains this past winter. The water penetrated the unfinished back, subterranean room on the 1st floor and made its way to another room, undermining tiles on the way, soaking through a closet and a carpet. We interviewed 5 or 6 contractors about the problem. Each one said basically the same thing: french drain. However, although the solutions all seemed to be identical, they all had wildly different prices. In one case they couldn't even give me a bid instead citing T&M with no cap which basically scared us silly. Dan came over, took stock of the problem, sketched out a possible solution on the spot, and delivered a professional and competitive quote as promised two days later. Dan came recommended to us by a friend of a friend and has had extensive foundation and concrete experience. He has a degree in engineering from Portland State, has worked on dams and does seismic foundation work in addition to general contracting. The work on our house started days after he delivered the bid and we agreed to take him on to stop the leak that penetrated our rear retaining wall set into the hillside. The work turned out to be more extensive than we had originally anticipated. The foundation wall was low and thick on our 1936 home. Instead of stopping Dan's team dug down 10 ft. in a narrow work space extruded soil from under a stair case. The final product was a double french drain system that connected directly to a downspout in the floor of a rear staircase instead of spilling out over the stairs from a higher stair. Our house has no street access to the backyard so all materials had to be carried by hand, up the stairs and through the first floor of the house including excess soil after the trench was filled with gravel. The work was done expediently, professionally and at all steps of the project we were kept informed by Dan who was on site every single day to supervise and do the work himself. The inside of the wall was sealed with a double layer of Kryton, a slurry that Dan assured us penetrates concrete pores and grows toward moisture adding another layer of protection to the ailing wall. There has been a series of bad rains since the work was complete and no water has come through the wall. Dan gave us a 10 year guarantee on the work and was very confidant that fix would work and we'd now have a dry basement, well, at least in this room, we've other issues elsewhere. Dan's final bill was more than the original estimate and bid. The overage was reasonable given how much more work he did in the end and how much deeper he went than originally projected. Whenever you open up big holes you're never sure what you'll find there and I'm not surprised that it turned out to be more than originally estimated. At all stages Dan did his best to save us money and leverage his vast resources and knowledge to deliver a superior level of service final product. I wouldn't hesitate to use Dan again for future projects.
