Dan listened to all our requests, patiently walked us through options and pricing (even when we changed our minds), and gave a detailed estimate. He handled all permits, provided a clear week-by-week schedule, and paid attention to every detail. The final result looks great and came in very close to the original estimate for both price and time. He's even come back twice since completion to fix minor things. Prompt, patient, and knowledgeable -- we're very happy and highly recommend him!

Yaniv and team refreshed our 25+ year old kitchen and delivered on all fronts. He listened to what…read morewe wanted (to keep cabinets which were in decent shape and flooring which was recently replaced) and worked to update everything else. He allowed us to control the design and appliance choices and readily provided in areas we were unsure of (ie, lighting, sources for countertop slabs, etc). He and his team were very responsive over the course of the project from initial consultation through final touch ups and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time given that it was started during the holidays (right before Thanksgiving and finished by New Year's). The area was kept clean and organized, workers courteous and the team communicated with us each step of the way. The final product is exactly what I had envisioned. We will not hesitate to reach out again to update other areas in our house or recommend Shefer.

The showers were only 2-3 feet of space, dark and uncomfortable to shower in. Hardly any vanity space and the places the toilets were, were well, not the most spacious. We knew eventually we would have to renovate the bathrooms. Well, when we met Yaniv, we hired Shefer Builders to redo our roof. I could tell instantly he was an extremely detailed person. This filters down to the staff. The entire staff!! Talking with Yaniv during the roof project, we decided to have the company redo our bathrooms. This included a 3D designer, and a mobile showroom that came to the house so I could choose all the fun stuff. Everyone is so nice and comfortable to talk to about design and pricing. In addition, the crew and foremans were very helpful in explaining what they were doing throughout the enire projects. As for the kitchen: we had a dishwasher go bad and it leaked water all over including out the back of the house!! Well....perfect time to have Shefer Builder renovate the kitchen!! What a continued blessing to have the crews come back again and help in such a fine way. I have always loved cooking and baking but even more so now with my beautifully desinged, perfectly crafted and functional kitchen!! They give so much attention to the little things I did not even notice! Exceptional quality from everyone!! The crews were hard working, fun and really made the process a joy to experience. We will definately be calling to use them for any further things we need beautified at our home!!

My Story: Hiring Bow's to install a large Milgard 4-panel…read moresliding glass door was a costly and frustrating mistake. My wife was nearly in tears because she could neither close nor lock the door! What was done wrong? This contractor installed the unit to the existing house framing without checking plumb (vertical alignment) - which changed significantly over the 12 foot span of the door. Milgard sent a service rep. Since vertical alignment was so different at the two ends of the unit, the rep could not fix problems. After two (2) follow-up discussions, Bow's showed no willingness to correct issues. Excuses, but no rework. Next, I hired someone else to remove the door and correctly reinstall it. The door now works great and looks much better! This person correctly installed interior trim pieces that Bow's thought were unneeded exterior pieces. Bottom Line: - If you want something done right in your own home, I suggest looking elsewhere. - If you want a great finished appearance, look elsewhere. - If you need a quick fix to flip a property, you might ask Bow's to bid.

I would recommend Crase to anyone.

He also displayed a great degree of patience in hearing, listening and understanding the owners' concerns, questions and requests. In addition, Matt articulated things in a way that made sense to the owner and helped ameliorate the process. The workmanship and material were excellent. This is especially apparent in the foundation wall, pier block footing and stucco/painting matching. All the proper safety measures were taken and at the end of each workday the area was cleaned and contained as possible. In summary I would highly recommend Matt and Crase Construction Team.

Best to look for a different general contractor…read more Campisi Construction is a major disappointment. Our house was supposed to be completed in 2015, and Jim and his daughter have repeatedly failed to take any responsibility toward completing their commitments and rectifying the issues with the poor construction. When I requested they follow through with their commitments years after it was supposed to be completed, I was literally told that they were too busy with "paying" customers to even put us on their schedule. Seriously!?!? They will take hundreds of thousands of dollars from you, fail to properly manage the project, ask for money in advance to help them pay their subcontractors and labor, and then fail to ever complete the job. Each time I follow up on the list of items that were poorly constructed or never completed, they have no recollection, or I am told it is someone else's fault. It's truly a bad sign when your general contractor is always blaming his subcontractors and suppliers. 7 painful years and counting...

He was very proactive when it came to issues that arose and usually had a solution at the ready before we even had to address it with him. We also had some issues which we needed help with around the house which had nothing to do with the project and he was always ready to help us out. Overall, we had a really great experience with Hills Construction and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor.

Unfortunately a fire occurred in the kitchen area in the main unit (#1) of a four-plex I own,…read morehowever luckily no one was hurt. I searched through Buildzoom to find a contractor to repair the Unit. Buildzoom sent 4 contractors to visit the site and provide estimates. After the evaluation process, I selected Tony Tran Construction. He was the only contractor to send a detailed estimate which accurately included every item that needed to be replaced/repaired. He clearly put in his time and was serious about the bid. I appreciated Tony's humble demeanor and great knowledge about construction. The City building department required a shared firewall with an adjacent apartment (#2) to be updated Fire Rate Drywall Code. Tony drew the plan himself and got it approved of the City of Cupertino. They had to remove the existing 1/2" drywall between Unit # 1 and # 2 and replace them with 5/8" fire rated drywall. In that process, Tony had to remove Kitchen Cabinets and Countertop and demolish the bathtub/shower enclosure. When I just reminded Tony that we wanted to replace the Bathtub with Kohler Cast Iron tub one day and the very next morning Tony delivered the tub to the job site. The demolition was done very fast. I asked Tony to remove the Kitchen Cabinets and save them to re-use later. The Old tile countertop was demolished. Tony installed 5/8" plywood as the underlayment for the Quart Countertop and he didn't charge any extra. The new Quartz Countertop with full backsplash was installed with precision, I hardly can notice the joint lines. I asked him to install a sink setter, and it was done to my satisfaction. I was impressed with the workmanship on the wall tiles that he made in the bathroom. The tiles and grout lines were perfectly straight. Tony asked his workers to apply compound on the bathroom walls to make them smooth before painting. The entire apartment was done beautifully, and I thank Tony for his commitment, thoroughness and attention to the details. Furthermore, the best part was all inspections passed the very first time. I am very happy working with Tony. His team is extremely efficient and gets everything done quickly and perfectly. An honest and hard-working team like Tony is hard to find. If you are looking for a contractor who can fulfill your tasks on time and on budget. Tony Tran is the one. I can't wait for him to repair Apartment # 1!

Testimonial for Tony Tran Construction Our family purchased…read morea duplex in San Jose last year as a rental investment property. We were very happy with the rental income, and because the property had a nice-sized backyard, we decided to build an ADU to further increase its value and income potential. We searched through Yelp to find a contractor who could help us with everything from the design process to obtaining permits from the City of San Jose. We wanted a contractor who could turn our vision into reality without unnecessary headaches or complications--and that was not too much to ask. We interviewed three contractors before meeting Tony and ultimately selected him for our project. Trust and honesty are extremely important to our family. What immediately set Tony apart was his calm, professional manner and his honesty. From our first meeting, we felt that we could trust him. Tony operates a small company, which we really appreciated because he was our primary point of contact throughout the project. We never had to go through a receptionist, manager, or superintendent just to get answers to our questions. Tony brought in his designer, Jimmy Dinh, to help us develop the ADU layout. He also immediately submitted an application to PG&E for a new 100-amp electrical panel. Tony explained that obtaining power from PG&E was one of the most critical parts of the project--and his experience proved to be absolutely right. Tony also handled the inspection scheduling. As we learned, San Jose has many construction projects but not enough inspectors, and the normal waiting period for an inspection can be three to four weeks. Tony scheduled our inspections well in advance, which helped us avoid unnecessary delays. Once Tony obtained the permit from the City of San Jose, his team began the foundation footings the very next day. One thing we particularly appreciated was that his crew worked six days a week and stayed with our project until it was completed. We never experienced the frustration of having workers constantly leave our project to work somewhere else. Working with Tony and his team was truly a pleasure. We never had arguments or major problems, and there was always a positive atmosphere throughout the construction process. Ben, Tony's partner and superintendent, supervised the entire project. His knowledge and experience in construction were exceptional. We always felt that our project was in very capable hands. Communication was another one of Tony's greatest strengths. Whenever we had a question or concern, Tony responded to our calls or text messages promptly. We felt very fortunate to have selected him as our contractor. He genuinely cares about his customers and consistently goes the extra mile to make sure they are satisfied. Tony even accompanied our family when we went shopping for materials. He patiently helped us select everything from kitchen cabinets and shower panels to the bathroom vanity, toilets, vinyl flooring, interior doors, sliding glass doors, and floor tiles. He personally guided us toward quality choices and helped us take advantage of his contractor discounts, which saved us money. When the project was completed, our family was extremely happy with the results. The new ADU exceeded our expectations. We love everything about it--from the beautiful kitchen and backsplash to the bathrooms, flooring, doors, and painting. The finished unit is beautiful, comfortable, and functional, and we are very proud of our new rental property. Even more importantly, our tenants absolutely love the ADU. They enjoyed living there so much that they decided to extend their lease for another six months. They told us they never expected to find a brand-new rental that was so beautiful and comfortable. We would like to sincerely thank Tony and his entire team for all the hard work, care, professionalism, and personal attention they put into our project. If you are considering building an ADU or taking on a major construction project, we would not hesitate to recommend Tony Tran Construction. We are very happy that we chose Tony, and we would gladly work with him again. Thank you very much, Tony, for everything you and your team did for our family. Sincerely, Thomas & Marie, David & Jennifer

We had the pleasure of working with May Construction for the design & construction phases of our…read more"to-the-studs" whole home renovation. The design process was truly a collaborative one, with May proposing an initial design based on our prioritized wishlist of home features & incorporating our subsequent feedback until we arrived at a best-possible design given our constraints (setbacks, town restrictions). Their goal was to find the best way to realize our wishlist and they did a great job of realizing that goal. May was always available to discuss issues in real-time. Their build proposal was very detailed and clear about scope, prioritizing a well-vetted proposal, as accurate as possible with regards to budget, rather than hooking you in with an unrealistically low price. Based on our comfort level during the design process, it was an easy decision to continue with May for the build phase. The build phase was very well organized. Among the things that we liked the most about May was the comfort level in dealing with EVERYone on their team. Before we started the whole renovation process, we dreaded the prospect of having to push a contractor to keep things moving or having unforeseen issues blow up the budget. We didn't experience any of those issues with May. Bottom-line, are we happy with our finished home and would we choose May again? Definitely Yes to both questions, and we would happily recommend them to family and close friends, which is the ultimate litmus test for such a big expenditure that affects your daily life and enjoyment.

Our one story 1960's ranch style house in Saratoga, was in need of an upgrade. We ended up…read moreremoving a few walls, creating a brand new kitchen, living and dining room with a transitional open concept. We updated an existing fireplace by refacing in stone and adding a gas insert. We added 110 sq. feet to our master suite by adding a double vanity, walk in closet, and walk in shower, new floors, windows, roof and stucco to the whole house. We added air conditioning, and updated the heating system. All in all, the entire house is like new! Greg May helped us finalize our decisions based on the vision we had for our house. He had great ideas, didn't push to do unnecessary work, preserved some previous remodeling we had done, and kept it simple and straightforward while accomplishing what we wanted to do with our house. He was always keeping budget in mind and suggested ways we could do more for less, and be more efficient with our project. He wasn't pushy and his personality was very calming in these very stressful beginning stages. In looking for a General Contractor we had specific qualities that were critical: Budgeting: Before we began, we worked through and estimated budget that we were able to tailor to what we wanted to do. Although we added more scope to the project once we started, we were never surprised in the middle of the project with additional costs to the original scope of our project. Many friends had said, "expect your budget to double by the end", and happily we ended within our scope. Project On Time: Although we had a few changes as the project progressed, we were back in our house within the six month time frame that was promised. We had an unusually wet winter during our project, and despite the weather, effort was made to move things along quickly. Eric was on top of keeping us on track to making decisions when it came to tile, flooring, fixtures, paint color, etc. to make sure that lead times would not hold up the project. Hard working staff and subcontractors: Our neighbors commented on how surprised they were that we had people working on our house almost every day. It was rare that there wasn't someone at the house doing something. It was even impressive when a variety of contractors would arrive at the same time to work side by side to save time on the project. Quality staff: All of the employees of May Construction as well as subcontractors were respectful and courteous. I would be on site most days, and they truly valued my opinion and answered all of the questions and concerns that I had. Our designer, Catherine, made some excellent suggestions for bathroom design, and tile/countertop selections. Attention to detail: May construction was sure to make sure that every detail was finished to our satisfaction. They were good about coming out even months later to fix any issue we had. With all new construction, you can count on a few problems, but May is quick to act to fix them. Communication: It was easy to contact our project manager Eric. He was always available via text, email or phone. Even on the weekends, he was willing to answer questions and solve issues that had come up. No matter the situation, Eric was always a listening ear and would reach out to the proper subcontractor to get the issues resolved. Going through a remodel can be very stressful and May always took a calm and measured approach to any situation. They were good at listening to concerns, making suggestions, and made the process as pleasant as possible. Overall, we are more than thrilled with the finished product. We have an amazing "new" home and have found new friends in May Construction. It is rare at the end of a project that people would not only value their contractor, but consider them friends. From the office staff, to the construction crew... EVERY person at May Construction was a fantastic person that showed they cared about making my house a home to be proud of.
