Mark did a fantastic job on our bathroom and was an absolute joy to work with. Having Mark do our…read morebathroom made us realize that we had never truly worked with a real general contractor in the past -- and we've done quite a few large projects. All of his sub contractors were absolute professionals and masters in their trades. I can't think of any unexpected change orders and he came up with a ton of great design calls along the way. The project was done faster than expected as well, which is pretty much non existent in this industry.

Mark completed a major remodel on our home on budget and a month ahead of schedule. He added a…read moreprimary suite with full bath, expanded a living room, expanded our kitchen with full remodel (new cabinets and skylights), added a patio, put in new floors throughout the interior, put in new HVAC, and painted all the interior and exterior. All told, there was an additional 600 sq ft added to our home. Mark was timely with estimates and priced fairly. His crew worked hard and interacted with our family respectfully. He recommended excellent vendors. His subcontractors were extremely professional and timely as well. Whenever we hit a surprise (there weren't many, which is saying something given the size of the job), Mark handled it calmly and confidently. He has continued to be responsive even after completing the job. He has an eye for architectural details and made helpful recommendations to our design. Remodeling a home requires hundreds of decisions and he navigated us through them, never overloading us, but pacing them out and keeping us on a reasonable schedule. He showed his project managing skills both with how he organized his subs and with how he kept us on task. His direct and honest communication impressed us greatly. We have recommended Mark to several friends and will continue to do so.

Yaniv managed a major renovation on our home that included expanding the second floor, remodeling…read morethe kitchen, permitting the 'iffy' spaces, and updating several other areas. It was a complicated project with neighborhood hearings, permits, inspections, and a seemingly endless number of decisions, and he did a great job helping us navigate all of it. We didn't use an architect or a designer, meaning we relied entirely on Yaniv's expertise to brainstorm layout and design ideas. He was a great sounding board, incredibly clear in his communication, and an expert at navigating the complex web of California building codes and city permits. He made it explicitly clear what decisions were required on our end and guided us through what I thought was an overwhelming process. We also appreciated how accommodating he was while we were dealing with construction during the pandemic with a baby. We had to move out temporarily for the demo portion, but Yaniv worked hard to accommodate our schedule so we could move back in sooner rather than later. Any large construction project is going to have its hiccups, but my wife and I are still very happy with the finished product years later. I'd absolutely recommend Yaniv to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable, practical, and easy to work with.

I've stumbled on a fabulous contractor!…read more Our home is 8 years old, and we shouldn't have had the water leakage we had. The shower in the second bath had been leaking, causing extensive damage. We had to completely replace the bathroom due to water infiltration, as well as some sheetrock in the dining room and the second bedroom. When I was in my 20s, I would have repaired myself, but now I'm in a wheelchair and decisively, not 20!! I was referred to a contractor from Concord named Yaniv Taragano, of Taragano Design and Build, and that was the best referral ever! We also had other projects in mind: replace the kitchen sink with a copper one, replace the under-cabinet lights, install two ceiling fans, add "can lights" to the main bedroom, add a pot-filler, replace the bathtub, add a door to the laundry room, and re-paint the interior. Yaniv saved us a bunch of money throughout the project. For instance, he color-matched the wall paint exactly, so only a touch-up was necessary to achieve beautiful walls! He's bonded and insured, and most importantly, he and his people are very careful. I also checked out his license, and there was not a single blemish. He was very timely, and he or his foreman came every day on time. His workers were very cognizant that we still lived in the house and carefully cleaned up every day. If you need, call Yaniv Taragano at (925) 388-6365, or visit his website: https://www.taraganoremodeling.com/ On top of everything else, he and his lovely wife Katie are just genuinely nice people!

Josh and his team were reliable, punctual, and extremely easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. They sent updates via email and text, and explained all the nuanced details in an easy to understand way. What stood out most was their ability to problem-solve and find solutions when challenges came up, especially when working with the city of SF, which is quite a feat. Josh was approachable, dependable, and always made me feel like my questions and concerns were heard. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy contractor.

Joe and his team at JR's just completed a full tear-out and remodel of our kitchen, and the results…read morespeak for themselves. The scope of the project was extensive: all new semi custom cabinets, a new island, and new perimeter countertops, along with a complete replacement of our appliances some of which we wanted flush mounted (easier said than done). One of the trickier pieces was retrofitting a range hood, which added a fair amount of complexity to the install, but the team handled it without missing a beat. What really set this project apart was the level of coordination among everyone involved. Every craftsman on the job communicated clearly with one another, and just as importantly, Joe stayed in steady contact with my wife and me throughout the process. That kind of teamwork kept the project moving efficiently from start to finish, with minimal delays and no surprises. Even when we were out of town for part of the renovation, we never felt out of the loop as Joe sent regular updates with photos and progress notes, so we always knew exactly where things stood. The end result is a kitchen that's both beautifully finished and highly functional, and the process to get there was refreshingly smooth. If you're considering a kitchen remodel, don't hesitate to reach out to JR's, you'll be in good hands from demo day to final walkthrough.

I found Optivest Build through Yelp's project system and one thing that stood out right away was…read moreMoe, the owner, and his responsiveness. Out of the companies that responded through Yelp, he came across as one of the most professional and serious about understanding the project rather than simply giving a quick estimate. He replied quickly to my questions through Yelp and was able to come out in a very reasonable timeframe to evaluate the work and discuss ideas in person. We hired Moe and the Optivest Build team for a decorative pergola/faux balcony repair and replacement project involving redwood, exterior trim work, stucco work, door jamb and casing repairs, sealing, and painting. The contract process was straightforward and I appreciated the flexibility and payment structure based on project milestones rather than everything being front-loaded. After Moe's initial site visit and evaluation, it became clear that a more comprehensive rebuild approach for most of the structure made more sense than piecemeal repairs. Moe explained the long-term benefit of rebuilding the deteriorated portions together rather than replacing isolated components now and potentially dealing with additional mobilization and repair costs again a few years later. I appreciated that he was not simply replacing wood, but also improving areas where the original design appeared to contribute to moisture issues. As the project progressed and portions were opened up, some additional weather and age-related deterioration was uncovered, which led to a few adjustments and additional repair steps along the way. Moe worked with me through options for addressing things as they were discovered and helped walk me through the process and next steps, which reduced some of the stress and uncertainty that can come with larger exterior repair projects. What stood out to me was that Moe stayed involved throughout the project, communicated with me consistently, personally came by to check on things, and had his project manager and crew return when touch-up or punch-list items needed attention. Even as the scope evolved, Moe stayed engaged throughout the project and continued working through follow-up, touch-up, and close-out items professionally. The crew was always polite and respectful of our property, worked hard throughout the project, and the project was fully cleaned up and closed out professionally at the end. No construction project is completely stress-free, but I appreciated that concerns were addressed and that the team worked to make things right when needed. In the end, the pergola turned out looking great, as did the additional trim, stucco, and repair work completed throughout the project. We are happy with the final result and would feel comfortable recommending Moe and Optivest Build to others looking for a responsive and professional contractor. Grateful to Moe and his crew for their job well done.

We've never worked with contractors in the past and the process was so overwhelming getting bids with price varying so much and it was hard to know who to go with with the amount of investment we were putting in. The moment we met Raz, we connected with him instantly--he listened to us, gave recommendations, understood the work and what we needed, and boy did they execute flawlessly. Not only did they execute the plans we had in place but Raz went above and beyond with me to pick out finished materials and gave recommendations on what to choose from flooring, cabinetry, bathroom, etc. I had no idea what I was doing but he was always there for questions and was so responsive. I highly recommend working with Raz and the entire team. Thank you so much for making our ADU dreams come true. :)
