    I had an awesome experience with Geico Builders. Initially I interviewed several different companies, but Mila stood out! She listened to understand my deck & pavers project and provided great ideas. She assigned excellent crews; superb attention to detail by Luis & Delmar and their crews. Initially I wanted to use TimberTech but changed my mind because Mila gave me a good understanding of the Trex composite quality for my deck. I would definitely recommend Geico Builders to anyone and hire them again for any future projects.

    GEICO did a really terrific job. Everyone very professional. Specifically, project manager, Brian, did a great job from start to finish. He was always available and answered all my questions, and is highly detailed oriented. Would highly recommend GEICO in future.

    We are happy with our brand-new deck! At first, I was unsure about working with Geico Building company since I had never hired them before. They helped us design the perfect layout, explained all the options, and guided us through choosing the best materials for our budget. However, the project manager, Jean Toledo, truly knew what he was doing and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The crew showed incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. Also, they were respectful and kept the workplace clean. Our new deck is sturdy, beautiful, and exactly what we wanted! Thank you to Jean for making this project a success! Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a new deck or outdoor space -- you will not be disappointed!

    Backyard Retaining Wall With Lights
    Steve S.

    We hired Geico Builders to replace a retaining wall, some fencing, and to spruce up our front yard, and we are really happy with the results. Brian and Gene (Project Managers) were both onsite regularly, and all the guys that worked on the various projects were friendly, great, and did quality work. They cleaned up every evening, leaving our yard tidy. As with any big project, there were some challenges to overcome, and Brian consistently reassured us that the number one goal is to make sure that we are happy with the results, and they addressed whatever was needed towards that end. Most importantly, the results are awesome! I would definitely recommend Geico for any project.

    Rooftop balcony

    AMAZING work!! From start to finish, the entire project went smooth thanks to Jean and Carlos, and their exceptional team! We needed to completely redo our rooftop balcony and consulted with at least 8 contractor companies, and decided to go with Jean due to his knowledge, attention to detail, very reasonable quote, and of course Jeans very kind and warm demeanor. Hubby and I are so glad, and pictures will speak for themselves. Thank you Geico Builders, you already know we will be using you again!

    Excellent job! We start our hardscaping and retaining wall project with Geico Builders 3 months ago and we are so happy with results those guys are real definition of professional Company including project manager Mila, supervisor of the crew Julio and quality control manager Alex. Our backyard had a lot of empty land which was hard to figure it out with the layout what can be actually done Mila had designed and help us out to figure it out how can we all can make that happen. We are very happy with results Thank you Geico Builders a real definition of the professional people and very easy to communicate on any level. We will definitely recommend Geico Builders to anyone!

    Geico also redid our stairs and put more of a modern look to it.

    Geico builders were excellent!! We got bids from five contractors for our big roof top balcony project. We had leaks throughout every room and my wife and I were tired of doing patch up work to prevent leaks. We passed on the other four contractors as none could tell us and show us details of what the work was going to be like step by step. We reached back out to Jean and he came back with samples of more materials etc. Jean was also able to get us excellent pricing on our stainless steel rail which saved us about 5k, he also gave us the option to extend our balcony 120 square feet for en excellent price which we did. My wife and I sent Jean a picture of what we wanted and Jean exceeded the aesthetic look of what we were going for. His team was very trustworthy, respectful, and very hard working. Our balcony looks excellent and we have a piece of mind as well due to Geico's 10 year warranty. This guys are Amazing A+++

    Pavers by GEICO Builders

    GEICO builders just completed a concrete paver project at our home and we are extremely happy with the work they did. After evaluating the site, Brian V. answered all of our questions and provided us with an estimate. He is an excellent project manager and the work crew from GEICO Builders was fantastic. The workers arrived as scheduled, did high quality work, and cleaned up the job site each day. The job was finished in just 4 days and we are really happy with the results. I recommend GEICO Builders and will use them again when needed.

    My backyard

    We did a complete backyard remodel with Geico Builders and we are extremely pleased with the results. Brian, Jean and the entire team were fantastic to work with. We really appreciate how Brian really listened to us and made sure that everything was executed to our satisfaction. The quality of work exceeded our expectations. I cannot say enough about what an awesome job Brian has done. I highly recommend Geico Builders.

    Our Guest bathroom

    Geico Builders did a great job remodeling our guest bathroom. Mila, the project manager was very responsive, easy to communicate. Luis, the supervisor was very accommodating and professional. Their entire crew was great to work with and respectful. Given the bathroom is all the way inside of the house where our kids sleep, the crew tried their best to clean after themselves every day. This is the smoothest remodeling project we ever had! I would highly recommend Geico Builders!

    Composite Tree Deck with two steps
    Jeffrey C.

    Outstanding job! 5 out of 5 stars. If I could give more stars to Geico Builders, I would! I cannot begin to express how happy we are with results, the craftsmanship of our deck as per as small details exceed our expectations. It only took them 3 weeks to complete job, every day they left job site clean and organized never heard from the crew loud noises. Absolutely above the top communication, connection, service, price, and quality work. Thank you for all had participated in our deck project Project Manager Mila, Supervisor of the Crew Santos and of course Kai quality control manager. Special thank you to Mila. We were very lucky to work with her she truly has a great taste. She detailed oriented, supportive, kind, professionally friendly, smart and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely recommend them to our friends and relatives. Looking forward to work with Geico Builders in the future as well.

    Just finished our kitchen renovation with Geico Builders and I am so happy with the results. From the initial interviews through the final touch ups, I was consistently impressed with our project manager, Mila. One spends a lot of time with the project manager going from interviews to execution, and Mila was responsive, easy to communicate with and seemed genuinely friendly. She was also honest with her feedback on ideas and options. It was quite refreshing to work with Mila and their crew, as well as project coordinator Kai, foreman Tim, and the rest of the Geico team. If you're looking for a well-run, professional team to work with, we highly recommend this one.

    I've been working with Geico Builders for the past two years. Initially I've met Mila who helped us with our basement drainage issue resolved & built with best drainage solution. At the beginning of September this year Geico Builders started backyard renovation which is contains structural retaining wall about 220 lnf, pavers, composite deck Trex, staircase with beautiful fountain. They completed my backyard project in very short period of time comparison to the amount of work was need it done. Excellent crew & communication with in backyard project. Mila is amazing so much patience and attention to details. I recommend Geico Builders for all your remodeling needs truly is the best company I work so far.

    How much is cost to do kitchen remodeling?

    Kitchen remodel can cost somewhere from $25,000 to $150,000 it’s based on a lot of different details & materials. The size of the kitchen & cabinets style will play a big role on the budget price.

Overall the experience was very good; Elijah and Bryan were super friendly and responsive. Eli was very patient and accommodating as we discussed several different potential change orders, from new windows to painting, to other misc. things that popped up. Bryan Luna was especially a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail and proactivity to solve any little thing I mentioned was definitely the highlight of working with Prime. Their contracted electrician, Hector, was great as well. I also think they did a great job building out a cabinet to fit our freezer next to the matching fridge. Their master carpenter managed to salvage our existing wood to make it match perfectly. Definitely better than what I'd expect from even a carpentry specialty contractor. I will mention that it wasn't without some snags. Prime deals in volume so they're very busy. I think because I had delays in sourcing a freezer I ended up not getting a dedicated project manager for some time. We had timeline issues made worse with holidays. This caused cascading delays which inevitably pushed back my move in date a few weeks. When I finally did get a new project manager, they ghosted me (later on I found out they had a family emergency). Eli had to step in again to help. Another thing is that their pricing is quite opaque. The estimate will break down prices by milestones, but they repeated told me that it's not a valuation of the milestone itself. This made it nigh impossible to understand if I wanted to contract out specific pieces of the project (e.g. flooring). Design was OK. I felt that the designer was very busy. Sometimes very responsive (5min replies), sometimes not responsive at all (no reply). I wish I had a better, more thorough back-and-forth session about the intricacies of the design. But we made do. Ultimately, the designer made a render and helped point us to some vendors, but from there we had to make our own selection alone (cabinets, handles, pendant lights, faucets, etc.). I did appreciate her presence when we picked out countertops, though. All in all, I think this was a 4.5 star job, but I'm rounding to 5 because of Eli and Bryan :)

There have been multiple unresolved issues with the quality of work and follow-through. One example is an LED light that continues to flicker. It has been more than six months, with many calls and text messages, but the issue still has not been fixed. Another example is damage to our garage cabinet, where a hole was created during the work. We are still waiting for this to be repaired as well. Overall, the lack of timely resolution and poor communication after the project has been extremely frustrating.

I know hiring a contractor is scary. There's a lot involved and they'll be in your house for an indeterminate amount of time which makes it really important to hire someone you can trust. Tom came out to provide an estimate for our project. He was the only one of the contractors I called that really investigated the existing condtions and repair based on what he could see and his own knowledge. He spent over an hour at the initial call making sure he didn't miss anything and talked through the potential issues and repair. This was his time spent not knowing whether or not we'd hire him. He was also the only contractor to tell me he would only do the work with a permit. Whether or not you think one is needed, just knowing that he wasn't afraid of the permitting or inspection process was a big plus to me. Always ask about permits during the interview process. He then went to his car, drafted an estimate and came back to talk to me about it. I was really impressed at this point. There wasn't any pressure from him to sign on and he encouraged me to ask questions. The estimate was well defined and a bit higher than another bid, but from what I saw I thought it would be worth it. After we signed on, he gave a rough schedule and starting time and said they stay on the job until it's done. We had a list of items to buy and he helped us out there too. He was in constant communications and always responded, even on weekends. Before the work begins, it is pretty easy to promise things to the client while telling your crew something else. When the work actually started, Jesus was our foreman and true to their word, he stayed on the project until completed. They were extremely respectful of our home, carefully protected things and kept the work area clean. During demolition, they found some unforseen things, but took care of it without issue. There were times when they could've easily walked through our house to talk to us, but instead opted to ring the door bell to respect our space. The construction went smoothly and Tom would visit and communicate frequently. He took care of the inspections as well without issue and some other things without charging us, which I appreciated. At the end of the project, we had some concern about the slope of our deck above the office. Tom and his crew came out and fixed it and didn't even mention the final payment until we were happy. Our remodelled office looks amazing. I'd gladly recommend LB Construction for anyone looking for a contractor and will contact them again in the future.

His team was extremely professional, conscientious, and went above and beyond with making sure the site was clean and orderly (especially since we have a toddler running around).

I was definitely persuaded by these reviews - and now will question every business that has 5 star reviews. Do your homework and don't be fooled. Project took much longer than what it should have because they were disorganized and would forget certain things (the foreman would even admit that the PM should have told me certain things!) that I would have imagined a contractor had down pat in terms of sequencing. They use some subcontractors and you are at the mercy of their schedules. They just are not organized (you will do a lot of the reminding, checking in, following up, and certain things still may not happen). They failed inspections meaning more cost (it is their job to pass these! It says this in any contract!) If it seemed as though I was questioning something, the PM got defensive and sometimes unprofessional, gaslighting me in a very aggressive manner. I saved the communication, in fact. The people I worked with directly were young and it showed in the almost-too-casual style of communication and lack of professionalism. I surrendered towards the end and just wanted the project done and everyone gone. I feel completely foolish that I went with the significantly higher estimate thinking it would offer a smooth, superior experience. The actual people who did the work worked hard though and did nice work - hence the two stars. But at the end of the day, it's actually hard to enjoy the work as I am reminded by the months of bad experiences - up to the very end. You can find more experienced contractors out there for equal quality of workmanship and for a more competitive price. I am using a different contractor now for other work at the property - it's a 180 degree difference - they have a dedicated team for my project, meaning time to completion is more accurate and on time; they have a dedicated person to procure the finishes and fixtures, not myself; they are way more organized and even provided me a timeline of what to expect and communicate with me what time they are showing up and what progress was made that day (!!); they are bringing a truly expert eye with attention to detail that ELEVATES the space and are teaching me to ask things I didn't even know I should KNOW to ask; and most importantly, I feel truly comfortable asking questions without defensiveness and aggressive steamrolling in their answers. I received none of this level of care or expertise with MHR, and I want you to know that you should expect these things!!!

The roof was crushed, part of the structure separated, and we lost power for nearly a week. It was a stressful situation, and they handled it. They repaired all of the damage and still completed the full project within budget. That alone says a lot about how they run their jobs.

We've done several other home improvement projects in the past and had such a headache with the contractors and sub-contractors not showing up when they said they would, or not paying attention to details, so I know how rare it is to find a contractor you actually like! Plus, their bid came in much lower than the three other contractors who quoted for us. We replaced four bathroom vanities which seemed like a small project, but required more skilled work than we originally imagined - including redoing plumbing and moving electrical to accommodate the new layout of vanity, mirrors, and lighting. The crew was very careful to cover surfaces to prevent damage (and also avoid dust getting on all our things) and to clean up their tools and equipment at the end of each day so we could have our space back. Arturo did really stellar work and clearly pays attention to the small details, like smooth caulking lines and patching each little area of drywall and paint to ensure a completely finished project. Their communication was great, and when we ran into a few hiccups with how to best install wainscoting, Jesus ensured we were happy with the plan before the crew moved forward with it. All in all, we really recommend Gilor and will be using them again for future home projects.

His team is resourceful and they did not generate excessive work to add cost. For our kitchen / laundry facelift, we updated the flooring, backsplash, lighting, and reconfigured our laundry area. George's crew helped to side vent the dryer which the big box store was unable to do. George gave valuable input on our bathroom design to optimize the small space. He had suggestions for an in-wall toilet, a corner sink, window ledge niche, and talked us out of a doorless shower (thank you!). He knows small spaces very well and was able to place the fixtures in their best locations. George would give us a heads up on our requests that were going to cost more than ~1k. He had some subcontractors come in to help with varying degrees of quality and cleanliness. We are glad he managed the plumbing contractor who had to come back 3 times. His paint jobs varied quite a bit in consistency depending on who was painting. The best part of working with George was that we were expecting our first child, and he worked very hard to complete the project before her due date. To our surprise and delight he totally finished it before she arrived!

    George helped us with a complete remodel for our home in Berkeley. He and his crew (Oni, Enrique,…read moreMarvin, Wuillian) are extremely smart, honest, professional and creative. His pricing is also reasonable and transparent. We started with an awkward layout (even no room for fridge in the kitchen!) and ended with a tastefully transformed home: open, modern and feels much more spacious than before. George is patient, transparent, detail oriented (with a special eye for safety!) and always a clever problem solver on behalf of his clients. What he did for our project was too much to list, but I'm attaching a few photos where the end results can speak for itself! Contractors like George is hard to come by and highly sought after in the current environment, we would recommend him to any one who values craftsmanship and quality!
