Nathan and his team are fantastic…read more I worked with Nathan on a full-gut, fully permitted renovation project. Having talked to multiple GCs to get quotes, it was clear Nathan had a very honest and reasonable approach. He also was happy to show his previous work as an example. It's also a great sign that he has a good relationship with his past client, and I can see why, now being one of them. Even after the project had mostly finished, Nathan was still helping to touch up any minor issues the previous client had. This amount of service really convinced me Nathan was the right person to go with. Nathan worked with me diligently throughout the planning phase, addressing any hiccups. He is also great at handling inspections and it was completely hands-off from me, which gave me great peace of mind. During construction, his team worked quickly, efficiently, and with high quality. He and the foreman had a great understanding of construction techniques and would explain in detail exactly what we needed to do. This gave me a great understanding of what exactly was going on in my house and give me confidence in the construction quality. Nathan was flexible with schedule. We were able to meet almost every week during the critical times and every other week otherwise to go over updates and scope of work. When needing to hit critical deadlines, Nathan and his team delivered. When decision points came up, we would go over options and he would give his advice. We were always able to quickly come to a decision. When issues came up during the build that required going a more expensive than expected route, Nathan often quietly addressed them without adding an extra charges. While I tried my best to avoid changes in scope, they inevitably come up. Some of these things Nathan covered for me. For everything else we were always able to find a reasonable path forward. When I pointed out small quality issues, Nathan didn't hesitate to get them addressed. The attention to detail is great - we acclimated the hardwood, beautifully mitered waterfall edges, installed clean under cabinet lighting, got the walls down super smooth and touched up all imperfections, custom arches were clean and perfectly curved, trims and baseboards were seamless - the list goes on. He also has a great network of skilled laborers and suppliers that all help reduce the cost a little and ensure expert quality. While the overall schedule did push out a bit (which seems inevitable in construction), the end result was worth the wait and I'm overall very happy with the quality of work and finishes. I think the best thing with Nathan is that it makes the stressful process of home renovation as stress-free as possible, and you can be rest assured he will get you across the finish line with a result that you will be happy with.

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.

We worked with Gad and his team on a major home renovation and expansion, and the experience was…read moreexceptional from start to finish. Our project included nearly 1,000 square feet of new addition, adding 3 rooms and 1.5 bathrooms, along with remodeling the entire existing space, including the kitchen. It was a large, complex project, but Gad handled it with an impressive level of professionalism, speed, and attention to detail. What stood out most was how diligent, responsive, and hardworking the team was. They truly worked rain or shine, seemingly 24/7, and still managed to keep the project on track. Our entire renovation was completed in just 6 months, which still amazes us given the scope of work. One moment from the project really captures Gad's dedication. For several days, rain was threatening to delay construction, and naturally Gad was frustrated by anything that could slow progress. Instead of simply waiting for the weather to clear, his team showed up with a massive tarp, hung it over the construction area, and kept right on working. I honestly wish I could post the picture because it perfectly shows the kind of commitment and problem-solving they brought to the job every single day. What makes Gad especially impressive is that although he works incredibly fast, he never sacrifices quality. If something is not right, he will stop and make sure it gets fixed properly. A great example was during our kitchen renovation: Gad noticed that the two countertop slabs had a slight color mismatch--something that would have been very easy for most people to overlook. He caught it immediately and worked with the vendor to get the correct slabs, making sure our kitchen turned out exactly right. That level of care made a huge difference in the final result. We also made many changes along the way, as homeowners often do during a big renovation, and Gad and his team were always patient and accommodating. They worked with us through those changes without making the process feel difficult or overwhelming. Last but definitely not least, Gad's experience navigating city requirements and guidelines is truly unmatched. We passed almost all of our inspections with the Los Altos Planning Department on the first go, which speaks volumes about his knowledge, preparation, and professionalism. If you are looking for a contractor who is fast, meticulous, experienced, responsive, and deeply committed to getting things right, I would recommend Gad without hesitation. He and his team delivered a beautiful result on a very large project, and we are truly grateful for their hard work.

Omar came out and told us what we were already told from the water proofers, that the sliding doors needed to come out to determine if pans were installed. The flashing under the doors and floor of the balcony also looked suspicious. He gave us a good price to remove the doors, install new pans, reinstall the doors, and replace the flashing and railing. His staff are truly artists and pretty tough as they worked through the grueling July heat and kept right on schedule. Considerable work went into resealing the sliding glass doors and greatly dropped the temperatures of the two rooms facing west from some pretty brutal sun, making these rooms comfortable for the whole day when they were basically not useable in the late afternoon. The new railing is gorgeous. They also do indoor room restorations, and I would not hesitate to call them should we need one done. Wonderful company!

We can confidently say it was the best experience we've ever had working with a contractor-and that's saying something, as I've worked with dozens over the years on property flips, client projects, and my own renovations as a realtor. Navid was incredibly competitive on price, but what truly set him apart was his outstanding communication, unwavering reliability, and commitment to doing the job right. He showed up on time every single day, put in long, full days of work, and never cut corners. He was meticulous about protecting our home before starting any work and always made sure everything was cleaned up before he left for the day. What we appreciated most was how collaborative he was-always checking in with us before any decision was made regarding layout, material choices, placement, or finishes. He genuinely cared that we were happy with every aspect of the remodel. His attention to detail and perfectionism are rare in this industry. Navid also brought in excellent subcontractors who were not only skilled but also professional and respectful like him. We truly couldn't be happier with the experience, and Navid will be our go-to for any future remodeling projects, no matter the size or complexity. We recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship, honesty, and peace of mind during their renovation.

Contractors can be notorious for dragging feet or being difficult, but not Navid. From day one, Navid demonstrated focussed care and attention to timelines as well as our needs and concerns. Navid and his crew worked continuously and consistently during the entire 2ish month period to finish the job, often working weekends as well. Navid's goal, it appears, is not only to get the job done as quickly as he can, but also to make sure to and get it done right. He has an knack for balancing perfectionism and speed. On so many occasions, Navid would be the one to notice details (like the vent on the ceiling needs be moved away from the wall to accommodate the new molding, pipes were not coming from where we expected) and make every effort to move quickly on the inevitable, unexpected discoveries that added scope to the project. He was so collaborative about what he was seeing and thinking, working to be conservative on cost and making sure that any issues were addressed well and to completion. Navid's care to get the job done right really shines through. He often let us know what needed to be fixed or done better before we even said anything. He really notices details and takes care of them as quickly as possible. When they finished the job, he had his crew power wash the ground in the front and backyard to make sure everything looked as clean as it did before the projects began! Our house has several things that still to be upgraded so it feels really good to know that we can trust Navid to help us in the next phases. The inconveniences of remodeling are no fun, but it helps tremendously to be able to trust our contractor to care to do it right and on time. I wish I knew more people in this town to let them all know about Navid. Hopefully, this review will help to spread the word to anyone looking for a contractor they can really count on.

Although we were a bit hesitant on the price at first, when things were all said and done we stayed within budget (as Yazan had promised). There were some minor delays along with the way but the project finished ahead of schedule in just under 5 months. It did take a bit longer than expected to get our permit at the beginning, but once the project started, things moved rather quickly and efficiently. We were particularly impressed with the efficiency of the foundation and framing crew. The structure went up quite quickly. Our project manager Alex was very knowledgeable straightforward.

He's a great problem solver, and worked closely with us to make our vision come to life, even if some other contractors told us they couldn't do it. Alex estimated 5 weeks for the project, and got it done in 6 weeks. Not bad at all given the horror stories I sometimes hear of projects taking 2x longer than originally planned. Even after the project and final walk through, when we encountered an issue, Alex made time to stop by to help address the issue. We highly recommend Alex.
