Marcus was kind enough to turn around our remodel request very quickly despite the holiday season.

Acton just finished our home remodel of our Master bedroom suite, and 2 bedrooms, a study and a…read morebathroom. The crew of Acton did a great job for 6 months while we also stayed in the house. All the staff and contractors were great - they showed up every morning on time, worked hard, and cleaned up before going home. And each contractor was very talented at his craft. Jenn, our project advisor, and Enrique, our onsite supervisor, were always immediately available for our concerns, and went above and beyond to take any needed action in a very timely manner. They were such a pleasure to work with, listened to our wishes and concerns, and made every effort to make them happen. We have heard of many bad contractor experiences from friends, but we had a great overall experience working with Acton!

Acton ADU is a streamlined, personal organization that leaves you with a high quality building…read morepersonalized to your needs. We found their planning, communication, permit navigation, and building to be very high quality. Planning with Acton was very simple. They have a suite of choices both for the structural design, but also for nearly every aspect you could want. We even made some modifications ourselves that fit our needs and they were more than accommodating. We ended with a project plan we were fully behind and excited to see to completion. The team at Acton showed themselves to be high level communicators. They anticipated questions, gave frequent updates, and took the time necessary to answer all of our questions throughout. They also utilized an app called Buildertrend that gave us daily updates, calendars, photos, invoices, and any other information we could need from the project. It worked well and keep us constantly in the loop. One of the most daunting aspects of building an ADU is understanding and correctly following all of the permit requirements. Acton ADU handled all of that as part of the build. They know the codes and how to best expedite processes toward a positive conclusion. Acton even has pre-approved building plans that can be approved in a couple weeks rather than several months, which is one thing that drew us to their company in the first place. Finally, and most importantly, the build is fantastic. We watched our ADU come to life as we had planned and the crew working on the structure were amazing. From concrete to framing, drywall, and stucco, the team at Acton clearly knows how to do their work at a high quality. We could not be happier with the outcome and are excited to see our family and friends enjoy the ADU for years to come. If you are looking for an ADU builder to be on your shortlist, I highly recommend Acton ADU.

We wrapped up a massive whole-house remodel and a new addition with US Creative Builders in Nov…read more2025, and honestly, they were fantastic to work with. Major renovations are usually a huge headache, but Matt and his team made the process as painless as possible. Here is why they were so great: Speed & Quality: The craziest part is they finished the entire project in just 6 months. When a contractor moves that fast, you usually worry about them cutting corners, but the quality of their work is amazing. Ken (Project Management): Ken was our main point of contact and an absolute lifesaver. He was always super responsive, organized, and kept everything moving on schedule so we didn't have to stress. Bryan (Tile Work): This guy is an absolute artist. Our tile work looks completely flawless. Jayron (Electrical): He did an excellent job with all the electrical work. It's always a bit nerve-wracking dealing with a house's wiring, but he really knows his stuff and made sure everything was done perfectly and safely. Big thanks to Matt and the rest of the crew. They basically built our dream home, and I'd hire them again in a heartbeat. If you need a solid, reliable team for a big project, these are your guys!

I'm very happy with my decision of choosing US Creative Builders for our new 700 sq ft ADU project…read more I'm impressed by the quick turnaround Matthew gave in giving his initial estimate. His price for the project was much more reasonable than other businesses I had spoken too at the time. For any unknowns encountered during the project, both he and Kenneth (the project manager) kept us in the loop and presented the pros and cons along with the detailed broken-down expense before starting the work. Even after the work was done, Matthew was always quick to send someone from his team to address any concerns or issues we encountered.

He also helped me with a lot of misc work around the house such as window latches, electrical, fan replacement in bathroom, caulking in kitchen and bathroom, lock for attic. His team (David) did an excellent job on interior painting. They removed all the inside doors, light fixtures, blinds etc before painting. Spray painted doors, baseboards. Electrical work was perfect. Chris's electrician tried extremely hard not to cut unnecessary holes in the wall. Huge difference between Chris's team and another electrician I had hired who had recommended cutting many unwanted holes. Chris electrician cut 1 as opposed to proposed 4 by another electrician. He made several trips to give me free consultations. He was very flexible to ideas from us and found the right team who would be willing to work with us. We requested him to go with epoxy grout for example and he was fine with it. On the whole he is very pleasant to work with and very reasonable price for painting, tile work and misc items. We really lucked out getting help from Chris without whom we would really have a tough time getting the house ready for renting last summer. Really appreciate Chris and his team's work. Sorry for the delay in posting this.

Last year, my parents purchased an older house in Palo Alto. The house had 2 hallway bathrooms…read more What we were missing was a bathroom in the master bedroom. We decided the best way to do this was to build an additional bathroom for the master that would flow and work well with the floor plan of the house. We got an architect who ended up referring us to Jimmy and his son Chris. After getting a few quotes from other contractors, we decided to go with Chris and Jimmy. As for the price range, Chris and Jimmy were a bit on the higher side; they weren't the most expensive but they weren't exactly the cheapest either. We decided it was best to go with Jimmy because he seemed very knowledgable and detailed in his work. He made us feel comfortable in trusting him with our home. Fast forward 3 months later; Jimmy, Chris, and their crew did an amazing job. It was well worth every penny we spent on it. We loved it so much that we ended up remodeling the hallway bathroom too. They were so prompt and accommodating to our wants and needs. My parents and I are still waiting for their schedule to free up a bit so they can come back and work on our kitchen!

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!

Tony Tran and his workers created a Dream Kitchen and a beautiful downstairs bathroom for my wife…read moreand me. We were referred to by our neighbor who had her entire home renovation done by Tony and his team. We saw the beautiful and perfect workmanship at our friend 's home and we were glad that Tony and his wonderful team were able to start our project in his busy schedule. Tony is a very responsive and accommodating contractor. He came with us to the Cabinet store when we picked out the Cabinets for the Kitchen. He took us to KZ Kitchen where we could buy the Countertops for the Kitchen and Bedrosian for the tiles in the bathroom and he passed his Contractor Discount for everything we bought which was a nice surprise for us. What separates Tony from other contractors is his dedication to making sure my wife and I are totally satisfied with his service. He asked his workers to pay attention to the details, and the outcome was better than we expected. He told us that he and his workers will continue working on our project without job hopping which was great since that helped finish the project sooner. Tony and his workers have been very professional and extremely skilled. Any issues that would come up would be fixed quickly with great results! Working with Tony has been a pleasant experience. He always answers our phone calls or texts promptly. He has a solution to any questions or anything we wanted. To make the new kitchen electrical requirement to the city code, Tony had to upgrade the old sub-panel to a bigger size and run Electrical wirings to the kitchen area. Our Family room was dark, and we asked Tony for his advice. Tony had to cut sheetrock to run the Electrical wirings to the family room. Tony installed 6 new LED recessed lights and replaced all ceiling lights in the kitchen area with new LED recessed lights with dimmers. Now, our Family room and kitchen are very bright when we turn on the lights. Our island was too close to the refrigerator. We asked Tony to move it out 4". He complied and replaced old tiles around the island without charging us any money. The downstairs bathrooms were remodeled with precision workmanship. Tony recommended to install 2 new Electrical outlets: 1 for the lighted mirror and 1 for the bidet if needed in future. He also recommended buying Lighted Mirror at Amazon, and we loved the new mirror. The tile work on the floor and the shower walls is methodically placed with even symmetrical spaces. My wife and I were extremely happy with the beautiful results. Our entertainment cabinets was old Oak frame. We asked Tony if it can be painted so it matches our new cabinet color and he made it happen! Now we have a beautiful kitchen and family room. My wife and I would highly recommend Tony Tran Construction for any home remodeling because you are guaranteed quality workmanship with supremely talented workers. Tony has everything and you won't be disappointed. One more note about Tony's character: we had some extra Tiles that we asked Tony to return. Bedrosian charged 25% restocking fee of $290. We were surprised to get back the whole amount from him. You can't find many Contractors that have a Great Heart like Tony!

My husband and I hired Brian to help us do a thorough remodel and addition to our Los Altos home…read more Long story short - the house turned out great. Brian was easy to work with and really understood what we wanted in the end product. He walked us through the permitting, inspection, and construction processes and kept us informed about what was happening each step of the way. He also gave us a realistic budget and timeline, which we appreciated. Even though we changed our minds several times throughout the design process (sometimes doing a full 180) , Brian took everything in stride and helped us realize our vision. He has a keen eye for design and we ended up going with a lot of his suggestions. He was able to make our home more modern, functional, and spacious, while still retaining its character as a California Ranch. The house turned out so well that two of our neighbors ended up calling Brian for help with their own remodels.

We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional team. From start to finish, their team went above and beyond. Their design and permit team really surprised us in the best way because they stayed on top of everything and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We never felt lost or overwhelmed. Our family absolutely loves the kitchen. It's very unique, modern, and thoughtfully designed. You can tell they really care about both style and functionality. They finished our two-story home exactly on the timeline they promised, which meant a lot to us. It's rare to see that level of reliability in construction. Nima was outstanding throughout the entire process. He was always on top of everything, very professional, and easy to communicate with. His design experience really stands out, and you can see it in every detail of the house. He truly cared about us and made sure we were happy every step of the way. The quality of the finish is exceptional. Every detail feels well done and high-end. Nima and his project managers met with us regularly, often daily, which made us feel very supported and confident throughout the project. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our home or the experience. Highly, highly recommend!

This was a six-figure remodel that looks acceptable only at a distance. Up close, the workmanship…read moreand quality control are far below what was contracted and paid for, and the most serious issue is unpermitted work that directly harms the homeowner. Key issues: * No permits pulled for electrical work, bathroom remodels, or major door installation (sliding/nana-style door) * Bathrooms were not properly waterproofed, resulting in a significant leak from the upstairs sink and shower into the kitchen below * Level 5 wall finish was explicitly contracted and not delivered * Paint applied over fixtures and fire sprinklers, impairing function and creating safety concerns * Poor finish work throughout: uneven surfaces, peeling paint, exposed gaps, unsecured fixtures, and visible installation shortcuts Because required permits were not obtained, I am now exposed to liability, disclosure requirements when selling, potential fines, and reduced home value. This is not a cosmetic complaint--it is a material and legal issue that the contractor failed to address. Premium materials do not excuse substandard labor, lack of oversight, and permit avoidance. I would not recommend this contractor to any homeowner expecting professional-grade work or code-compliant execution. Extra update not added on original review: I do not recommend Nima at all. This experience caused serious safety issues, stress, and legal problems as a homeowner. Water from the upstairs shower/sink leaked into the kitchen ceiling and through a recessed light fixture while electricity was on, causing the light to flicker. I have video evidence showing water actively coming through the ceiling and around the light. Seeing water pour through an electrical fixture inside your home is terrifying and created a real fear of electrical shock or fire. This occurred during a six-figure renovation, yet plumbing and bathroom work were done without proper permits and without correct waterproofing. The leak originated from upstairs plumbing and was not treated as an emergency. What made this situation far worse is that Nima completely abandoned the project. He stopped responding to calls and messages and refused to address the dangerous conditions he caused. As a homeowner, this left me dealing with unsafe living conditions, hidden water and electrical damage, and serious legal and resale risks due to unpermitted work. Because of his lack of accountability and abandonment of the job, I was forced to take legal action, including pursuing recovery through his contractor's bond. No homeowner should be put in this position. This was not cosmetic work gone wrong. This was a dangerous failure that directly impacted my safety, my home, and my peace of mind. I strongly urge anyone considering this contractor to verify permits independently and proceed with extreme caution.

We bought two adjacent lots in Menlo Park and hired King David Home Builders to combine the two…read moreproperties and build one home across the full lot. It was a single story home, around 8,200 sqft, with classical proportions and a painted brick exterior. It was a large project, but one thing we really appreciated was that the house still feels appropriate for the neighborhood and does not look oversized from the street. The full process took close to 28 months from start to finish, but that is a little misleading because we had to pause construction for about a year for personal reasons that had nothing to do with King David. Their project manager handled the pause very professionally, helped coordinate a clean shutdown, kept in touch while everything was on hold, and once we were ready to restart, the project picked back up without feeling like we were starting over. The actual construction time was closer to 13 months. During excavation, they found old utility lines running through the area where the original property line had been. Those had to be rerouted, which was stressful at first, but King David coordinated with the utility company, explained the situation clearly, and showed us the bid before any extra work was approved. We are living in the home now, and looking back, it was absolutely so worth the wait.

We were a bit nervous going into it since it's a big project, but Ray was patient from the start and took the time to walk us through everything without making it feel overwhelming. There were moments where we had questions or changed our minds on small details, and he never made it feel like a problem. The crew was respectful, showed up consistently, and kept things as clean as possible throughout the process. The final result came out really nice. The new space flows naturally with the rest of the house and doesn't feel like something that was added later. We're really happy we decided to do it.
