We completed our detached ADU with A+ Construction ADU Builders this year and I had a great…read moreexperience. What I liked most about our process was how organized from the start. This started with the detailed proposal outlining all of the costs for all of the different elements of the detached ADU construction process. Throughout the construction of our 700 square foot building, I was able to track the spending on every individual item and there were no surprises at the end of the project. Our main designer Irene was excellent in tweaking the floor plan several times to meet our needs to have a suitable size of kitchen, bathroom, adequate storage and living area. After completion of the detached ADU I can honestly say that the way the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and storage all fit together is just right and I'm glad we went with her recommendations. The detached ADU was completed within six months of commencing the build. The setup of the utilities to the ADU and the inspections were all completed by A+ Construction which would have been a huge hassle if we were building a main house. Our project manager Nick did a great job in keeping us updated on progress and any other development through the entire process. Any issues or problems were resolved immediately by calling Nick and answering any questions. There were no long delays in returning calls to answer any questions or to resolve any problems. We lived in the main house of the property throughout the detached ADU's construction and the builders treated us with the upmost respect at all times. The builders kept a very clean work site throughout the building process. The detached ADU that we built is currently rented out and is doing well. The tenants are very happy and the layout works well for them. The finishes look very good and the whole structure feels very solid. A+ Construction ADU Builders is a very structured operation. It was great for our type of construction project.

Sergeii and his team of professionals did an excellent job of making the process as painless as possible. We started in November and had a completed backyard cottage by mid spring. The team were very particular with the finer details of the house, including lots of insulation and placement of windows to maximize natural light. Sergeii and his construction team worked very hard on the project and left the property in great shape. We had a couple of minor change orders throughout the construction of the project, but this was expected with a fully custom project of this nature. The final product turned out to be even better than the drawings. My mom absolutely loves her finished ADU of 600 sf and it is extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend A+ Construction & Remodeling to anyone looking to build an ADU in the North Sacramento area.

This was…read moreour first time doing a renovation project and weren't sure what to expect, so we were lucky to have received such a strong recommendation for this team from one of my friends. With the help of JAZ Developments, we remodeled our kitchen, living room, master bath and guest bath, repainted and replaced the flooring and base boards of the entire house, replaced several windows, and knocked down a wall to the backyard to install a triple sliding glass door in the master bedroom. They are the best of the best and I can't recommend them enough. Joedy is a problem solver, easy to work with, and has assembled an impressive team. Over the course of construction I kept having new ideas, which they were able to incorporate without any problems. Our project was pretty extensive so Blake was at our house every day for many months and he is absolutely wonderful!

I had a bit of homebuyers anxiety and didn't think I would ever be able to buy. John Michael was first a friend, someone I met through friends and who I appreciated for his heart and soul. How he cared about his family, and the community, always trying to make it better and being his authentic self. When I finally wanted to try and asked can I do this? He took it all in before he said yes. He was first focused on our being secure before he would even consider the sale. He showed me (and my adult kids) dozens of houses and never lost patience or hope. We went from Alameda to Benecia and saw houses with bay views and 500 square feet of living space, to fixer uppers, to huge yards, and flippers by the freeway. At the height of the sellers market he kept looking. It wasn't easy to find a home a single mom could afford. Until he did. High ceilings, lots of light, good neighborhood.... and a flashback to 1985. Solid bones and a chance to do some updates at my own pace to make it my own. Home. In this world of realtors who just want the sale, John Michael is different. He will be there as a friend whether you're a single mom, a family, a celebrity, or a dreamer. And when you're ready he will walk the journey with you and make sure you are home.

I have done a lot of work over the years and am happy to say that if you live in this area, he is your guy. He was fair and honest from the get go. The price he gives you is the price you will pay. I never received any surprise "change orders". As contractors go, Omar was VERY open and communicative. No problems ever getting him or his crew on the phone. He had great suggestions on all things we discussed. Always seemed to know a lot about his work and various things people like. The project was a big one, and I am super happy with how fast it went. He even got started for us over Thanksgiving and Xmas, and his crew would show up on Saturday or Sunday sometimes to keep on working (which was fine with us!). There were no subcontractors involved... everything was through Noor Construction. If we had any minor issues that needed correcting, Omar would come and look at it and tell his crew what to do. We really appreciate the details, crown molding and trim was superbly done, and the tile was just amazing, we are very impressed with his team. I mean seriously anyone who has attempted to do crown molding in the past knows what I am talking about. For details if you've made it this far, our story: Where shall I start. I suppose we start with the idea: build a bedroom in the second floor space of our "great room" which has really tall ceilings... like 30 feet plus. So basically add a bedroom in the second story "empty space" above the first floor. Easy right? Well, after getting ghosted by several contractors, I finally called Omar. He informed he thought we were probably getting ghosted because the architect had told him that footings were needed to support this new bedroom which would be sort of like an island in the middle of the house. We live on a hill, so these support columns would have to go through the first floor, basement, and then under the house. This added to the cost, but we really wanted a bedroom in that space. Omar gave me a price. I told him no thanks, my wife and I thought well maybe we changed our mind as the cost came in higher with the footing work. After a few weeks, we talked it over, changed our minds. We really needed the bedroom. I called him, thinking "gosh he probably won't want our work". Omar came back, no change in price, same deal as before, he didn't even bat an eye, he was ready to go, and this was like 4 weeks later after I told him no. So yea, it was project that I was told was too much for people, everyone didn't want to go get permits or deal with the footings... Omar told us what to expect and stuck to the plan. He dealt with the County and the inspector always came and said even himself "these guys know what they are doing". We passed all inspections. Omar even was super flexible about adding things to the project as we went along, as you know I get ideas about what I might want, we added some carpeting and shelving, and additional tile work that he added at no additional cost to him. He really just knows what he is doing and is super on top of things. So go with Noor Construction if you have the chance, you won't regret it!

My home is now just over a year old. I love my home and neighborhood. The buying process was simple…read moreand the support I received was just "okay". As a recently single woman, I admit I was not real savvy on the electrical selections however, I purchased an additional outlet in the pantry specifically for a microwave. The design consultant failed to mention or recommend a dedicated outlet. So not only did I pay extra for an outlet, it is inadequate and shorts out everything in my kitchen should I operate more than one thing (including the oven). Therefore, it is a complete nuisance. Every day I have to go out to the circuit panel and reset the kitchen. This was not something I noticed until being at home for extended periods of time and when I spoke to the Customer Service representatives, they suggested I hire a third party contractor to make the change as there was nothing they could do to remedy the situation. Again, I love my home and the overall process but I am disappointed with the lack of care with the design studio and customer service representatives or their lack of interest in fixing the problem. The community is otherwise great, relatively quiet and pleasant to live in. The home was a good value and competitively priced. The advanced technology and safety features in the home including the fire sprinklers were a pleasant surprise as it has been several years since I purchased a new home. I am happy with my purchase. Just wish I didn't have to blow a fuse every time I run the microwave. Monterey Village Community Elk Grove, Ca

We used Olive Homes as our prime contractor for a full renovation of nearly our entire house in…read moreFolsom--kitchen, living room, master bedroom, master bath, laundry room, new floors, rewiring, and replumbing. It was a massive project that stripped things down almost to the studs. Overall, it was a 5-star experience and we're really happy with the final result. One of the things they did exceptionally well was the upfront planning. They scanned the house and worked off our Pinterest boards to build a digital 3D model first. Being able to iterate on that digital model before any demolition started meant my wife and I could nail down the aesthetics and know exactly what to expect. Once construction was underway, jobsite cleanliness was great, and living through the disruption was about as tolerable as a major renovation can be. Olive Homes handled all the Folsom city permitting and inspections without too much friction on our end. Whenever unforeseen issues popped up--as they always do with major renos--they came to us proactively with solid ideas and solutions. On top of that, they actually finished on budget (slightly under budget, in fact), which is pretty rare for a project of this scale. The main downside was the timeline. The project took longer than both we and Olive Homes expected. Their primary team and main subcontractors were top-notch, but some of those main subs hired secondary subcontractors below them. That extra layer caused communication breakdowns--there were days when secondary subs didn't show up when expected, and some of their work was lower quality and had to be redone. The prime contractor was very empathetic and considerate throughout, stepping in to ensure re-works were handled properly, but those secondary sub issues definitely caused delays. At the end of the day, the finished product turned out beautifully. The craftsmanship is high quality, and we've gotten a ton of compliments from family and neighbors. We've made our final payments and expect to do our 1-year warranty checkup punch list soon, but we are genuinely very happy with our home and would recommend Olive Homes to anyone looking for a solid, honest local contractor.
