We've had a great experience with Essa, and we're feeling so thankful that we found him and…read morereceived his help in our home! We definitely recommend him to any of our friends and family! He always arrived on time first thing in the morning, the projects were completed when he estimated they would be done, and the work is well done and beautiful. He cleans the space nicely when the project is finished. He is a straightforward and responsive communicator and offers a fair price. I also really appreciate that he easily helps out where needed, like helping to move furniture or doing smaller repairs. Over the past five years we've done multiple home improvement projects with three different contractors before Essa and each time the projects ended with frustration and disappointment, each time for different reasons, and it left us feeling always worried we could never find someone new who is trustworthy, on time, and delivers well done work. Essa was all of those things for us, and we have now hired him on three recent projects, two large projects (floor installation for entire floor of our home and opening an outdoor stair and drain and replacing everything) and also a collection of small repairs, painting, and installations around our home, and all has gone well and looks great! Thank you Essa! We will definitely be in touch for any help needed in our home in the future!

Earlier this year completed a large-scale, high-end residential renovation with Kasas Builders…read moretotaling over a million dollars in scope. A complete gut remodel interior & exterior started in November 2024. The quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the project were exceptional--especially their tile & slab work, which really stood out. The finished spaces reflect the level of precision and care expected from a top-tier contractor. Like most large, complex renovations, this project came with its share of challenges and unforeseen structural discoveries. Kasas worked collaboratively to problem-solve and adapt as the project evolved, often stepping in to help fill the gap where our original architect was no longer involved. Their team maintained professionalism and a strong commitment to achieving a beautiful end result. As a client with a high attention to detail and a strong opinion in design, I appreciated how the team welcomed my input and worked with their subcontractors to realize the vision. They coordinated well with local inspectors to meet all regulations while still honoring the aesthetic direction I provided. While the overall timeline extended beyond the initial plan, the outcome demonstrates quality workmanship. Budget adjustments were consistent with what's typical for projects of this scale and complexity. In the end, Kasas Builders delivered a stunning, high-quality renovation. I often get compliments from visitors & requests about materials that I selected for the project. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor capable of executing high-end work with integrity and craftsmanship.

A few days later - what do you know? - Mike returns with a custom bracket that he welded himself that fit around the beam perfectly!

JTM Landscaping was a great partner in creating a modern drought tolerant yard. Tito and his…read morebrother Juan are great people and amazing landscapers. They helped us following the heavy rain at the end of 2022. This was a big, muddy, manual job for multiple weeks. JTM works closely with customers to meet them where they are with transparent quote details.  We now use Tito for yard maintenance!  JTM Landscaping did the following work: - demo and removed previous landscaping timbers, brick retaining wall - couple hundred feet of french drains around the foundation of our home, sealed the concrete foundation - new retaining walls with drainage, moved outdoor water lines with shut-off valves - dedicated underground drain pipes for downspouts - installed decorative rock walkway and front yard including native plants with irrigation - power-washed our old flagstone to reuse for a walkway - rebuilt old brick stairs with new stones - built a fully enclosed garden with 3 raised beds with irrigation in each bed

We had a great experience working with Chris, Dave and the rest of the crew at Christopher Gate…read moreConstruction. Beginning with the bidding process, Chris showed up on time, submitted a thorough proposal when he said he would, and was very professional. Yes, there were hiccups and surprises along the way. Chris and crew always handled them gracefully and fairly. We are very pleased with the quality of their work, and they stand by it even after the job is completed. I highly recommend considering CGC for your remodel.

I am a residential building designer who strives to build strong connections with my clients up…read morefront so that I can experience the project through their eyes and collaboratively realize the design based on their needs and wishes. We also sometimes realizes permit drawings for other designers who would rather not go through the challenges of assemble drawings and legal documents required by cities to acquire building permits. Such was the case was the when I received a phone call. "I'm Christopher Gates and I'm working on the O. project in San Francisco and I think we're missing a real opportunity." Chris went on to explain that the upper and lower levels of the project were connected by a set of non conforming stairs, which were grandfathered in by not touching them, but were't the most enjoyable to navigate. The previous designer had elected not to touch those stairs. But Chris suggested something extraordinary: "Perhaps we can carve out some space from the adjacent closet, a bathroom, and a light well, and make a set of beautiful stairs with a skylight above that unifies the home right when you walk through the front door. Are you interested in checking it out?" As one who wants my clients to really love their new home, I was a little embarrassed that I'd miss the opportunity myself. But even more, I was super grateful for Chris's suggestion as well as his palpable enthusiasm, especially when so many architects and builders are willing just to gloss over it just to get it done quickly. "Hell yes!" I said. We scheduled a time to meet, trouble shot the challenges, and over the next 10 days, co-created an amazing solution together. Yesterday, nearly nine months since that first meeting, I had the chance to check it out the (nearly) finished project. Chris and his fantastic team had totally transformed the place, from a chopped up, piecemeal layout to a spacious, light-filled home with all the essential amenities a family needs. Thank you, Chris, for making me a better designer through your curiosity, fantastic work, and service to your clients!

After finding a major leak from an exterior wall, we invited half a dozen contractors to come out…read moreand estimate a fix. Clearly it was going to be a very large - and, of course, completely unexpected - project. We felt a ton of pressure to find the right balance of cheap, fast, and - most importantly, this being a major structural wall of our home - good. Given how critical and involved the job was, we needed to have confidence every step of the way. From the get-go, Marlon provided that. From the initial estimate, it was clear that J O Builder doesn't cut corners and wants to do the job right. Where some of the other contractors proposed patchwork solutions that would likely have resulted in having the same problem again in five or ten years. Ignacio from J O estimated a more comprehensive job that would avoid that. J O isn't just interested in securing a job but rather taking care of your home as well as if it were their own. Marlon, Ozny, Daniel, and the rest of the team were always incredibly responsive and understood our concerns immediately. They were able to talk us through any concerns we had throughout the job and proactively gave us a heads up on what was coming next so we were never surprised by anything. When the job was finished, our wall was in better shape than ever, with better insulation and a clean facade inside and out, as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile we know it's built well and will last a long time, and we had confidence at every step of the way. We'll be reaching out to Marlon again for all our future jobs. If you want your job done right, I strongly recommend that you do too.

We met with a few different contractors for quotes, some offered slightly cheaper pricing but after speaking with them, we knew Marlon and his team were the right choice. When you're having a project done in your home, trust is everything, and we trust them 100%. Even during heavy rain, they were able to keep working by setting up a tarp tent over the work area, which kept things clean and minimized disruption to our neighbors. This time, we had our whole house painted, our entrance door replaced, and our porch tiled. Once again, they delivered excellent results. Our new entrance door looks beautiful, and the paint job is phenomenal. I feel like we have a brand-new home. We will definitely hire them again for future renovations, no doubt! They are fast, meticulous, and truly trustworthy.
