I needed a carpenter who had expertise in repairing wooden decks with dry rot and termite damage. I…read morecontacted Ron Hawley at I-Build-Homes. When he inspected two different wooden balconies at my home, I saw and heard that he was experienced, professional, knowledgeable and that he was absolutely the right person for the job. The work that he and his helper did was excellent through and through, and it was very fair in terms of pricing. I should add that my home is built on a slope, so Ron was obliged to work three stories above ground wearing a safety harness. When he completed the job, it was on schedule, budget and improved the look and strength of both balconies. I recommend him highly, and I would not hesitate to call him again for a repair job.

If you are looking for an excellent craftsman, I highly recommend Ron at I-Build. He did a…read moreremarkable job on the projects I had lingering around my home this past summer. He hung new doors, installed moldings throughout several rooms in my home, and did such a beautiful job installing a custom made front door!! He also completed a small deck that was left incomplete by a previous carpenter who didn't have the skills for the job. I called a few different contractors for my projects and I was so happy I chose Ron.

We cannot recommend Yudi highly enough! He transformed our coffee shop into a warm and inviting…read morespace that perfectly matches our vision. From start to finish, he was very professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly skilled. Yudi handled everything--from flooring and lighting to custom shelving and décor--bringing quality craftsmanship and creativity to every aspect of the renovation. Not only was his work completed on time and within our budget, but Yudi also went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Customers constantly compliment the cozy and welcoming atmosphere, and we owe it all to Yudi's expertise. If you're looking for a reliable, talented handyman, look no further. This is the guy you should call. Thank you, Yudi for making our coffee shop how we've imagined it.

I had such an incredibly good experience last time hiring Seong from Pro Master Painting that I…read moredecided to ask him to do another project for me this time. ( Btw, the last time when he painted our house he did such a wonderful job that one of my neighbors walking by asked me for Seong's info. and ended up hiring him for painting their house too) This time, I was once again amazed by the meticulous work Seong did. Not only was his painting job great, he actually helped me with several other items I was trying to tackle by myself such as caulking the kitchen counter, fixing a light switch, and even patching a cracked cement in the drive way... all this for a very reasonable fee. Seong is one of those rare breed of people who has a big heart and is out to help people in need. If I can rate his service more than 5 Stars, I would definitely do it because he 100% deserves it

Seong showed up for a scheduled estimate but refused to even look at the job the moment he saw…read moreanother contractor was also there to provide a bid. We're juggling post-lead and asbestos remediation, renting a place 40 minutes away, working full-time, and caring for a young child. Coordinating multiple estimates at once isn't a luxury for us, it's a necessity. At no point did Seong mention that he has an issue with clients getting more than one quote. Instead of being upfront about his "one-contractor only" expectation, he chose to waste our time and walk away on the spot. It came across as unprofessional, inflexible, and dismissive of our situation. If you consider hiring Seong, make sure you ask very clearly about his attitude toward competing bids and your time. Based on our experience, I would not rely on him for anything that requires basic respect, communication, or professionalism.

I called Anthony about some swollen plaster on the base of my exterior wall. I also sent him some…read morepictures. But for accuracy he came by anyway to take a look. Then he said the swollen plaster is in a small area and I can just fix it myself by scraping out again and apply oil based paint. He also mentioned I can use a tool to create the stucco texture of the wall with the paint to match the remaining wall paint. I felt very educated about my task. I sure will consider Anthony if I ever need plastering job.

First off: this is not with regards to the quality of his work…read more He doesn't pick up the phone and isn't able to tell me a time I can reach him. Seems to only be willing to communicate when convenient for him. As a client I'd expect better communication (after all it's not like I am talking to a heart surgeon). Lack of reachablity is a bad sign and a red flag. If anything on the job goes unexpected or needs to be changed, I don't want to waiting for a call back at his convenience.

From the very beginning, Chris was professional and made the whole process stress-free. Chris cares about his work, craftsmanship is top-notch, and every detail came out exactly how we envisioned.

We contacted Modern Builders when we discovered a leak in our garage/ADU. Our experience with them…read morewas nothing short of exceptional from the moment of first contact all the way through the project's completion. Bryan and Enrique came out to assess the situation almost shockingly fast, and right from the get-go, it was incredibly clear how thoughtful and knowledgeable they were about what was happening and what the most effective and efficient path would be to address it. They got us a detailed proposal and were able to start the repairs within a matter of days -- with courteous, professional crews that tidied up every day and even finished everything ahead of schedule. Unlike most contractors, these guys are prompt and communicative, and they actually follow through on what they promise. (Shocking, I know!) And, equally important, all of the work they did looks great and seems to address the issue in a multilayered, carefully considered approach that we're optimistic will have us in good shape for a long time to come. They've also made it abundantly clear that if anything ever *isn't* working out as expected, they'll stand behind their work and be around and available to come back and figure out what's wrong. Based on all of our experiences with them thus far, I have every reason to believe that's true. We will absolutely be hanging onto Modern Builders' info and using them again for any kind of contracting/home repair work that comes up in the future. They're a rare gem and an invaluable resource to have in your toolbox as a homeowner.

After being displaced from my home for 9 months due to a major water loss, I can honestly say that…read moremoving back home has been such a relief and a huge part of that is because of Sam and his team. From start to finish, Sam was professional, efficient, and incredibly communicative. He kept me updated throughout the project, answered my many questions, and was always willing to take the time to discuss options with me. As someone who wanted to be intentional about every decision, I really appreciated that he helped me think through materials, finishes, and products to make sure they were the right fit for my home. I am absolutely in love with how everything turned out... especially my bathrooms, the kitchen backsplash, and the beautifully restored cabinetry. The transformation is amazing. Because this was an insurance claim, there were many moving pieces, and Sam worked seamlessly with my public adjuster and everyone involved in the process. Prior to working with Sam, I consulted with at least 7 other contractors and Sam was able to offer the most reasonable and seemingly honest cost, he had a waitlist, and I was willing to wait - I am glad that I did. I would absolutely recommend Sam to anyone looking for a contractor who is skilled, reliable and honest!

I hired Sam a few months ago to install a bathroom and kitchen exhaust fan and close up an unused…read morevent, and I couldn't be happier. These were small jobs, but he treated them with the same care as a bigger project. No job is too small for him!! The work was done efficiently and cleanly, and his prices were very reasonable, basically what non-licensed contractors would charge. He let me buy all the materials myself and very kindly handled the bigger items like vent pipes for FREE. Sam's quote is just the labor, so you are not charged a markup on your quote for any material cost. There were a few surprises along the way, and he took care of the extra work without charging extra. He also demoed the kitchen tiles nicely and even did some extra paint work and tile grout for free. He makes sure the project will be done well! Sam is honest and practical. He suggested I wait to install a kitchen vent until a future renovation. I still went ahead with it, but it was nice to hear someone not trying to upsell me. I can trust Sam's opinion for the job and not worry that I am being exploited by my lack of home renovation knowledge. Communication was great, the quote was detailed, and he kept my home protected and clean during the work. It's been four months since the job was finished and everything is still perfect. Reliable, honest, and skilled...I'll definitely hire Sam again.

"We couldn't be happier with Open Hand Remodeling. It was…read morenot an easy task to find the right contractor for our new home on the hills of Eagle Rock. The house was perfect but definitely needed some TLC. Open Hand Remodeling did a great job building our large hardwood deck on the hill. They used Brazilian Hardwood, which is absolutely stunning, their engineers make sure it would be properly built. Couldn't be more pleased. Open Hand also remodeled the interior bathrooms, kitchen and main house hardwood and Porcelain flooring. The craftsmanship and professionalism is 2nd to none. The process was not perfect 100% of the time, but the hiccups were communicated responsibly by the project manager. Overall the project was completed ahead of schedule. We are planning our second floor project next year, and it's inevitable that we are going to use Open Hand again in the future. Thanks so much!!!"

I can't express how good it feels to finally have five remodeled bathrooms, all of which were remodeled by this Small boutique Company name Open Hand, which I grew to love during the process of the renovations. Some of the work needed plans and structural support for the reconfiguration of the previous bathroom layout, we were impressed with the systematic daily routine, and with the rotation of handling five bathrooms on one house, without interfering with our lifestyle in the way that was not communicated upfront. Can't wait to use Open Hand for my kitchen remodel next year. Grateful
