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.

For anyone looking for a contractor for home remodeling or building, I cannot recommend Bertet…read moreBuilders highly enough. After meeting several contractors and getting completely out of reach quotes, for suggestions that weren't all that impressive, I was about to give up. I actually tried to cancel our appointment because we didn't want to waste their time, given the quotes we were receiving. They insisted that we keep the appointment regardless and I'm so glad we did. Dylan Bertet was the one coming to see the project and what a difference from every other contractor that we met before. Dylan is dynamic, creative, filled (and I mean FILLED) with design ideas on the spot, and someone whom we felt just knew exactly what he was talking about, with very practical suggestions for the highest impact given our budget. 10 mins into talking to him we had made our decision as he gave us the confidence and expertise that we were looking for. The quality of the work and the people who work with him is unmatched. When the time comes, we will for sure use them again.

We started with one bathroom remodel, and since that went so smoothly, we ended up doing all three bathrooms, replacing all the flooring in our 3,000-square-foot house (switching from a mix of old wood and carpet to all wood), and even making some layout changes throughout the house. A year later, we reached out to them again for a second big project--this time redoing our garage, including power, water, gas, insulation, walls--pretty much everything. In between, they also installed new skylights for us. Since we trust them and know they do high-quality work, we didn't even consider asking anyone else. From the start, Manuel and Dylan have been great to work with. They're always transparent with costs, communicate clearly, and stick to their timelines. The quality of their work is excellent, and if any small issue came up, they were quick to respond and adjust. Manuel has always been super responsive and available for questions, big or small. They even went with us to pick out materials like tile, wood, and bathtubs, which was incredibly helpful since they know the suppliers and what to look for. We've been really happy with every part of the process and highly recommend them. Definitely a 5-star experience.

He helped us figure out what walls to remove and how to make everything feel connected without overcomplicating it. The whole process felt pretty straightforward, no stress, no confusion.

Just moved into my house and am just floored by the incredible work done by the team at Greenberg!…read moreI was originally skeptical of such a major remodel - every friend had horror stories of contactors doing sub par work, disappearing, completely, etc. I was really glad to work with Ohad, our project manager for the project. He'd worked with one of our friends previously, and so we knew he'd do a great job for our project. We also loved Greenberg's integrated approach. The architect, constructions, design and management was all done by Greenberg. This meant that the project from top to bottom was aligned with the team actually doing the construction work. My top priorities were 1) a modern home design 2) a job done with high quality 3) low stress. Ohad / Greenberg helped deliver on all of these aspects in spades. The last thing I wanted to do was have to coordinate with flaky contractors, have to re-do low quality work after a long day at work. Ohad kept the project on track and handled all the hassle of dealing with subcontractors & inspectors. Greenberg probably won't be the cheapest contractor you'll talk to, but as the saying goes - you get what you pay for. Quality work, up to code, and no drama is well worth the cost. Ohad worked with us throughout the project to consider different budget options, and gave candid advice about where he thought the budget would be best spent. Overall, highly recommend. I was referred by a friend and have put multiple friends in touch with Greenberg for their projects as well. Everyone is floored by house nice our remodel turned out and will 100% be in touch in the future for any future projects we have.

One of the biggest highlights was the design process; their team curated high-quality material options based on my vision board, saving me from the overwhelming experience of wandering through massive showrooms. When I visited the Greenberg showroom, the team presented their design with all my samples ready to view in-person. The logistical side was equally impressive. They handled the entire San Mateo permitting process. Once construction began, Ohad and I stayed in constant contact via text and phone to address any issues or decisions that needed to be made. He also kept me up to date with many photos of the construction. Everyone warned me that a project like this would take well over a year and go way over budget, but Greenberg completed construction in just 10 months and kept change orders to a minimum. I had such confidence in Ohad's attention to detail that I didn't even visit the site until the project was almost finished. The result is a total transformation that maximizes every square foot of my home without the need for a massive addition. My parents were so impressed they have already hired Greenberg for their own remodel.

With it being our first, we got several quotes from different businesses and ultimately decided on Valley Boutique for several reasons. The biggest reason we chose them was that they were a referral from a previous customer in my mom's group.

I worked directly with Ido and Noa for project planning and project design. They truly helped bring our vision to life! Their crew was excellent and the work was done expertly. Wholeheartedly refer them for home renovations!

We have heard of many bad contractor experiences from friends, but we had a great overall experience working with Acton!

Acton ADU is a streamlined, personal organization that leaves you with a high quality building…read morepersonalized to your needs. We found their planning, communication, permit navigation, and building to be very high quality. Planning with Acton was very simple. They have a suite of choices both for the structural design, but also for nearly every aspect you could want. We even made some modifications ourselves that fit our needs and they were more than accommodating. We ended with a project plan we were fully behind and excited to see to completion. The team at Acton showed themselves to be high level communicators. They anticipated questions, gave frequent updates, and took the time necessary to answer all of our questions throughout. They also utilized an app called Buildertrend that gave us daily updates, calendars, photos, invoices, and any other information we could need from the project. It worked well and keep us constantly in the loop. One of the most daunting aspects of building an ADU is understanding and correctly following all of the permit requirements. Acton ADU handled all of that as part of the build. They know the codes and how to best expedite processes toward a positive conclusion. Acton even has pre-approved building plans that can be approved in a couple weeks rather than several months, which is one thing that drew us to their company in the first place. Finally, and most importantly, the build is fantastic. We watched our ADU come to life as we had planned and the crew working on the structure were amazing. From concrete to framing, drywall, and stucco, the team at Acton clearly knows how to do their work at a high quality. We could not be happier with the outcome and are excited to see our family and friends enjoy the ADU for years to come. If you are looking for an ADU builder to be on your shortlist, I highly recommend Acton ADU.

Major renovations are usually a huge headache, but Matt and his team made the process as painless as possible. Here is why they were so great: Speed & Quality: The craziest part is they finished the entire project in just 6 months. When a contractor moves that fast, you usually worry about them cutting corners, but the quality of their work is amazing. Ken (Project Management): Ken was our main point of contact and an absolute lifesaver. He was always super responsive, organized, and kept everything moving on schedule so we didn't have to stress. Bryan (Tile Work): This guy is an absolute artist. Our tile work looks completely flawless. Jayron (Electrical): He did an excellent job with all the electrical work. It's always a bit nerve-wracking dealing with a house's wiring, but he really knows his stuff and made sure everything was done perfectly and safely. Big thanks to Matt and the rest of the crew. They basically built our dream home, and I'd hire them again in a heartbeat. If you need a solid, reliable team for a big project, these are your guys!

They are a terrific design and build company, and we are very happy with the work they did. We hired them in 2020 to complete our kitchen and family room remodel, and were very pleased with their whole process and especially the skilled people they have working for them. We decided to do the rest of our home, and were thrilled they were able to help us again. We expanded closets, moved a wall, took out an old chimney, redid the floors and lighting, put in 5 new windows, and had the interior and exterior repainted. From design to build, they were very professional and easy to work with. It feels like having a construction company in the family. They were respectful and knowledgeable, and every time something unexpected came up, they gave us good advice about what we needed to do and what was optional. Our designer Lisa was very patient with us, as we worked out all the details before construction began. Jason was great as our project manager, giving us good advice when we ran across termite damage and always making sure things were done to our satisfaction. And our electrician, Robin, was amazing - so knowledgeable and made it her goal every day she worked that we were happy with the lighting and fans she installed. Gave us such confidence that the work was done right and will last for many years! I highly recommend Gridley if you want things done right, with no worries. They gave our 67 year old house a much needed update, and we love it.
