I can't recommend Duval Construction enough. Everyone we worked with was knowledgeable,…read moreprofessional and courteous. They built a beautiful driveway with very specific requirements---to match a Mid Century home. It turned out even better than I had hoped! They were responsive to issues that came up along the way, and minimized inconvenience during construction. The site was kept neat and clean between installations. The rebar laying was a work of art. Our neighbors (and even people we don't know) have commented on the finished work with enthusiastic compliments. Lastly, but not least, Celine, the office manager is one of the nicest, most efficient and professional managers I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with. Thank you Duval, for making our driveway a thing of beauty!

Duval Construction completed a complicated job of repairing our subfloor when we found out we had a…read morebad case of dry rot on our existing floor joists. They worked with an engineer to come up with the most efficient and cost saving way to do this, which saved our existing flooring from being torn up. To complicate things even more we were on a time crunch and they did their best to accommodate us, successfully completing their work on a tight schedule. Can not recommend them enough, they are honest, hard working, responsive and kind.

First: I have not used Troy Construction. So why am I reviewing them? Because out of half a dozen…read morecontractors we met, Bulent was my favorite. We did not choose Troy Construction due mainly due to timing (he couldn't start our project for 3-4 months due to his busy schedule). So why was he my favorite? He was down to earth, was very enthusiastic, clearly understood what we wanted to do, and had a lot of useful advice for us. Even though he had a busy schedule (which we didn't know until we asked him when he could start the project), he spent over an hour with us discussing our project. While we ultimately chose another contractor, we already know we want to use Troy Construction for our next big house project...

They were polite, efficient and made the disruption as minimal as possible. Bulent kept us informed every step of the way. He is professional, personable and very easy to work with. Can't say enough good things about Troy construction!

We recently completed a home addition with Outline GCI, led by Luis Perez, and we couldn't be…read morehappier with the experience or the results. Our project included a new primary bedroom and bathroom, an expanded dining room, and a large wooden deck. The quality of the work is outstanding and the modern finishes throughout the addition truly elevated our home. Luis set up a clear structure for updates, and communication was always straightforward and easy. Any questions we had were met with helpful, down-to-earth answers, which made the whole process feel manageable. One of the biggest strengths of Outline GCI is their crew. Every person who worked on our home was incredibly professional, respectful, and considerate. Because we lived and worked from home during construction, this mattered a great deal. The team kept the site clean and safe each day and went out of their way to ensure our kids always had a safe place to play in the backyard. They also let us know in advance if anything noisy was coming up or if utilities needed to be temporarily shut off. That level of care made a huge difference. The project stayed on timeline and on budget, and any small hiccups that came up were handled collaboratively and calmly. It genuinely felt like we had partners throughout the build, not just contractors. We would hire Outline GCI again without hesitation and have already recommended them to several friends and neighbors. If you're considering a home addition or remodel, Luis and his team are an excellent choice.

Luis and his team did not disappoint. Both our projects were handled professionally from quoting to completion. Luis listened to our ideas and kept us on a realistic track if our ideas were too far afield. He genuinely loves what he does, and it shows through his enthusiasm. Luis and his team treated our home as their own. They were an awesome team of professionals. We experienced all his team's skills - electrical, plumbing, carpentry, drywall and painting. If you are looking for a fair and honest group of professionals, look to Outline General Contractors Inc for your next project. I know we will be calling Luis for our next project.

I originally had a fully-enclosed pergola in my backyard and wanted to extend it to create a semi-covered outdoor kitchen. Gilberto and his team did incredible work. They flawlessly matched and extended my existing pergola, and they even built a side-by-side TV entertainment center that went above and beyond my expectations.

Unfortunately, after a miscommunication about part of the project, which I thought we had resolved amicably (I compensated him for the materials he had already used), he later admitted he was upset and had been purposely avoiding my follow up communication. He left the original job on Friday saying he would return the following week to finish a few remaining items. After that, I spent over a month trying to get a response, with little to no communication and no explanation for this treatment. When I finally expressed my frustration, he admitted he had intentionally been ignoring me because of the earlier misunderstanding and offered to send someone to finish the outstanding tasks, "if that's what I was upset about." That level of unprofessionalism was far more disappointing than the few remaining tasks on the project. Misunderstandings happen, but they shouldn't result in giving a customer the silent treatment and leaving a job unfinished. I cannot recommend someone who responds to conflict by avoiding communication completely.

We've worked with Eulises and his team on several projects throughout our home, including our…read morebathrooms, attic, and garage, and we feel very lucky to have found him. His team does beautiful, high quality work and is someone we've really come to trust. He and his crew are punctual, efficient, and reliable. They show up when they say they will, work hard throughout the day, and clean up at the end of every day. That has made living through multiple renovation projects so much easier. He's also always been fair and transparent with us. Additionally if we notice something after the work is done or there's a small issue that needs to be addressed, he's responsive about coming back and making it right. Our bathroom turned out beautifully, and we're so happy with the finished space. There were a lot of details involved, and his team did a great job bringing everything together. (& I value attention to detail in almost an OCD way lol) The fact that we've continued to hire him for project after project probably says it best. Having a contractor you trust in your home is invaluable, and we really appreciate the relationship we've built with him. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family and will absolutely work with him again.
