The scope was substantial -- full electrical and plumbing updates throughout the house, a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel, and significant structural repairs to the porch due to extensive termite damage. Despite the complexity, Nick's team approached every challenge with creative, efficient solutions that kept the project moving. What sets Nick apart is his reliability and integrity. He does what he says he's going to do, every time. If you have a project that's time-sensitive, high-stakes, or just plain complicated, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

He demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility and ownership throughout the entire process, was very communicative, and made what could have been a stressful experience much smoother. Gnetzer worked diligently with multiple city departments, attended all inspections personally, and even went to the building department himself to resolve issues when needed. He was also very considerate of my tenants, coordinating work schedules to minimize noise and disruption. He consistently shopped around for competitively priced materials, saving me tens of thousands of dollars, and handled additional city requirements and revisions at reasonable costs.

Sammy and his crew are GREAT! From the beginning of our project to the last bit of clean up, Sammy…read morewas there to over see everything. He helped my wife and I by going to the appliance stores and Home Depot, pick out appliances and supplies within our budget and even helped with some of the design aspects. His expert advise throughout the entire process helped us be at ease when our bathroom and kitchen were in upheaval. Sammy's right hand man, Pete, gave us a daily break down of what was going to be done and who was going to do the work. If Sammy was not at our house, Pete was always there working and overseeing the different stages of remodel. Not only did both the kitchen and bathroom come out better than we ever imagined, it was actually a very pleasant experience throughout (something most of my friends cannot say about their remodeling projects). Sammy and his crew went above and beyond each day. One thing that was very impressive, is they left our house cleaned up (as much as was possible) after every work day. They never left tools or garbage laying around. They always swept up, tidied up, and asked if there was anything else they needed to do before leaving for the day. Another impressive thing was Sammy was very good with being in contact with me or my wife. I have had previous contractors say they will be by at a certain time, never show up, and/or never answer their cell phones. If Sammy was ever going to be late or a project needed to be amended, he was always in contact. He appreciates the clients time and need to be updated. Most importantly for pet owners, he and his crew were very kind to our animals. He always made sure our cats were in a secured area and unable to get out of the house along with being very enthusiastic with our dogs jumping and barking to say hello each morning. We cannot say enough good things about Builtwell Construction! They are awesome!

Here's an enthusiastic yelp for Chris Houk of Houk Construction. I am a Realtor who does business…read morein the San Francisco East Bay and Chris has been a referral I have given to my clients for some time. Recently Chris worked with me on one of my own home projects and I have to say, Chris went way above and beyond the call of duty to bring about a happy ending to what could have been an expensive, hassle of a crisis for me. My clients say Chris is personable and easy to understand, true to his word on price and consistently does quality work. It's been important to them to actually like and trust the contractor who spends so much time in their home. The truly outstanding thing about Chris is that he takes on his client's situation as if it were his own and works creatively to find the elegant solution. Recently, Chris helped me navigate some really tricky communications with the City of El Cerrito Building Services. In the end, the City representatives proved to be very reasonable in their requirements, but that WASN'T the way things started out! If I hadn't had Chris' help in the early stages, I surely would have gotten caught up in alot of bureaucracy and things might not have gone so well at all. Even Realtors need good representation! A++ for Houk Construction! Thank you, Chris!

They quoted me $1250 to fix our sheet rock. It was a bit cheaper than the other quotes and they…read moredidn't have a lot of reviews, but they seemed good. Huge mistake. Often showed up late or didn't show. Destroyed the floor, which I'm finding will now cost about $1300 to replace. They "finished" on a Wednesday and said they'd come back to fix the floor. I told them I'd pay then, but he sadly asked if he could get paid then. Stupidly I paid them half and said they'd get the rest on Friday, and of course they called and said they couldn't come on Friday. At that point I realized they were so inept that I couldn't imagine them making anything better, so we cut our losses. So now we're out $1300 to replace the floor, another $200 to finish the sheet rock, plus the $600 we paid them. Never again. Avoid at all costs.

I did not end up going with them due to the issues described below. To be clear, this review is…read moreabout professionalism and customer service, not about workmanship. I called about a plastering job and asked when he could come by for an estimate. He told me to just text him some photos and the square feet and he would get me a quote right away. I did as he asked, but didn't hear back. After a couple of hours (and calling other companies) I eventually texted him again for an update. He texted me back a very attractive price, and we worked out his availability. I was super excited to go with him since the price was a bit lower than the competitors. But I wanted to speak to him on the phone to ask a couple of questions and work out a couple of details. It was getting late, so I told him I'd call the next day. The next day he did not answer the phone. I texted him to let him know I just needed a 5-minute phone call to confirm a couple details and we'd be good to go. He totally ghosted me, and didn't text or call back. When you're doing a renovation, price is of course important, but so is reliability. If you have to chase your contractors down and they are flaky with you, how can you trust that they will show up when scheduled? Or come back for the 2nd or 3rd day of work? I had too many other contractors lined up I wasn't willing to risk going with this guy. And ended up going with a company that was much more expensive, but was professional, showed up on time, and was eager to do the work.
