    Moved toilet across room, resized bedroom closet
    Amanda D.

    Or helped us totally reimagine our master bathroom which previously only had a tiny walk in shower and no tub. Or was the only contractor I met who proposed taking out part of the closet to create tons more space in the bathroom, making use of the second window previously lost in the closet and making space for a hidden toilet nook and the difference is just incredible!!!Now we can take a shower with the window open and enjoy the bay breeze on our face as we stand under the water! His team installed a heated floor for us and large niche with two levels in the shower so we could easily place soaps, etc! He even used our existing swinging bathroom door to create a pocket door which gave us more room in the bedroom. Or was friendly, easy to work with and responsive and came to me proactively with suggestions.

    Bathroom before the remodel

    This was my first major remodel and as someone who likes to be as prepared as possible I did everything that I could to avoid any project delays. In fact, before the project even started I had 90% of the materials sitting in my garage. I read that not having materials can cause huge delays. This leads me to my 3 star review. I'll start with the bad and end with the good. The project took approx. 3 months. I had planned for a month and a half at the most, keep in mind 90% of the material were already onsite. I moved to my friends place in San Ramon during the project. The company has an app that is really great where they upload photos of the project every week so you can see how things are coming along. This stopped and I would often have to ask about the photo updates. (I would recommend a checklist for leads when doing home visits so no stone is unturned.) Several times during the project my neighbor text me and asking if my bathroom was done because he hadn't heard anyone in a few days. This ofcourse caused me to drive the hour and some change to my place from San Ramon to see what was going on. Sure enough no one was there or they were working half days. I even started to spend the night to observe what was going on. This was not ideal considering this was pulling me away from my own job, the commute was disastrous and there was no shower. Or was kind enough to put a porta potty outside for me so I did use that. I was constantly reaching out to the lead asking what was going on and how much longer things were going to take. At this point we were into month two and it was always, a couple more weeks. One incident involved calls to me when I was in SR about a piece missing that was needed for the shower and that the inspector was coming. I reviewed my inventory list and said it was in the garage. The next day calls again about the part not being in garage. I spoke to the lead and asked if he checked himself and I was told no. I asked him to check. He called me again and said the part wasn't there and they would have to push the inspection back. I drove in from SR, and hour and some change, went into my garage and sure enough there was the part. I called the lead very upset about the time I had to spend to do this and asked if he even looked. He said he didn't. It was basically one thing after another and I feel like I took on a VERY stressful job that requires LOTS of involvement. The 3rd month I went out of town for work. The whole project was suppose to be done when I got home. While away I received a text abt picking up the final check and I said to come by when I returned home. When I got home, there was holes in the wall that hadn't been fixed and outlets that hadn't been covered. I was so angry I didn't even want to work with the company anymore. In the end they came and fixed everything in one day. I would say that this experience was traumatic for me and that I'm still recovering. The timeline, living away from home for almost 3 months and the stress of having to drive home to make sure people were working was a lot. No project of this scale should take this long. Did I mention I had 90% of the materials already? Mentioning it again in case you missed it. The good stuff. Bathroom came out beautiful, my lead, Navaz, who I got mid project was good to work with. I could tell he wanted me to be happy but that he also only had so much control over things. He did have control over inspecting though. This should never be amiss. I digress, like I mentioned I'm still recovering. There were a few mixups that I was very happy that they fixed. Everyone is very responsive which I love. I also had the electricity go out in the evening and someone came out right away to fix which appreciated. Navaz is very supportive, he also wants the project to go well. As far as bathroom expectations went, look wise, it wasn't perfect but dam near close. In conclusion, the majority of my frustration is around how long the project took and how involved I had to get for them to finish. It was ridiculous. Overall, I am very happy with how my bathroom turned out and it's a joy to be in there everyday. Projects are challenging, hard and stressful. There are alot of people that will be involved. The PM, the lead and the workers. Communication is necessary, over communicate in fact, because you may tell someone one thing and they forget to pass it along. Be organized, ask for help if you need it from your lead. Don't be afraid to questions things. After all this is your project and your hard earned money. Expect gray hairs, I know I got plenty from this project. I actually don't know if it's possible to avoid stress since I don't know anyone who has done a remodel that hasn't had something. Just know that things don't always go as planned and that you may have to adjust. I hope this was helpful!

    Demolition
    Alvis H.

    After interviewing six contractors, we chose Or Dayan's company to remodel our bathroom. Or's proposal was detailed and the cost was reasonable. Our existing bathroom was demolished down to the studs and floor joists including the removal of a cast iron tub and a thick concrete floor. Most residential construction skills were required to complete the job. Plumbing and electrical rough-in and finish work, new drywall and patching of old drywall, sealing and waterproofing a wet room, linear drain, porcelain tile on walls and floor, custom quartzite vanity top, rough-in carpentry, finish carpentry to build custom period casings for two windows and a door. All crew members were highly skilled, industrious and easy to work with. There was no cost overrun. Usually, when a project is completed, there are a few things that I wish had been done differently. This time, I am pleased with everything.

He did so well and it looked so good, that we decided to add more sections of the stone wall in front of the house. He also anticipated any hiccups that may occur and handled it himself. I am very satisfied with how everything turned out and would highly recommend them to anyone. They are very thorough and ensure that you are happy with the completed work.

They aren't the cheapest out there, but once you see the work they do, it's almost a bargain. I did my research and wanted to find something in the middle- quality without excess. I found these guys. My project manager, Elijah was a total professional and also happens to be a real nice human being. His crew is even better (sorry, Eli). They listened and wanted my input. I grew to trust them quickly and started asking for their opinions about various things along the way to help me decide what to do. As stressful at it is to have people in your house everyday making lots of noise for weeks, I'm actually going to miss these guys. I will definitely hire them in future. I already have new projects in mind, and once the money is there, I'll pick up the phone and get to see my new friends again.

    We contracted Prime Design & Build to remodel two bathrooms, a laundry room, a staircase, and to…read moreinstall hardwood flooring. Overall, the project went well, and we're happy with the final results. Bryan, our foreman, was a strong asset to the project. Even though he was managing multiple jobs at the same time, his responsiveness and willingness to go out of his way to address our concerns made a big difference. Because we were home throughout the process, we were able to catch issues early and communicate them directly to Bryan, who consistently followed through to resolve them. What Went Well: * The tile and flooring subcontractors were excellent - their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stood out. * Bryan, our foreman, was responsive to texts and phone calls, listened to our concerns, and made sure they were addressed. He even designed a bi-fold closet door for us, and helped pick up all the material to build it. * Bryan also took the initiative to handle several unfinished items himself, which we really appreciated. * The post-build cleaners were top-notch and left the space in pristine condition. * Throughout the project, everyone we interacted with was professional, courteous, and conscientious. There were no conflicts or issues, which made the experience comfortable for us. Areas for Improvement: * The timeline was a pain point. While we were originally told the project would take 6-8 weeks, it ended up stretching to 12 weeks. * The design process fell short of expectations. Because Prime's in-house designers weren't available, our design work was outsourced. We only received a full design package for the master bathroom. As a result, we ended up creating our own renderings for the other rooms to help communicate our vision to the team. That said, we were very happy with the design and material selections for the master bathroom they did complete. We just wish the same level of attention and design support had been provided for the rest of the project. * At times, resource availability was limited, likely due to workers being assigned to multiple jobs. This led to workflow inefficiencies and delays. Toward the end of our renovation, our foreman Bryan had to personally step in to complete several tasks, such as installing faucets, shelving, and baseboards. He managed to get it done in between site visits and meetings, which we appreciated, but it also highlighted a lack of available crew to close out the project. Despite these few challenges, the quality of the work met our expectations. We appreciated the team's effort and the final outcome.

Thanks to all their hard work, we got exactly what we wanted and are truly grateful.
