Starting with the first meeting, my wife and I were impressed with the care and professionalism that was consistently shown by both Chris and Steve as they worked through the remodel of the first floor of our Novato home. The new kitchen/family room is truly a work of art and exactly what we were seeking to achieve. During the four months that it took to get the project completed, it was a delight to have these gentlemen in our house - even their subcontractors told us what a pleasure it was to work with them! Chris' design and planning was amazingly creative, practical and precise; Steve's execution of the work resulted in an extraordinary fit and finish. No surprises: the job was completed on budget and ahead of schedule! We are extremely happy to give Alliance Custom Builders our enthusiastic endorsement.

From lengthy phone calls & emails full of Q&A, answering endless questions while trying to do the work and producing top quality results, we couldn't be happier. Projects The Home Doctors completed ranged from 30 minutes to 30 hours in length and also varied in complexity. After dealing with dozens of contractors, these guys were the first to refer some aspects of our work to another company to help us get a better price. Incredible. Going forward, its great to know if anything comes up again in our old house, The Home Doctors will review some pictures and check-out the site to provide a sound approach to getting the job done (and fast).

Home Doctors agreed to come out and identify and order the parts for my Andersen windows so that…read morethey could later come back and install the new trim packs, and lubricate the windows. There were several issues with scheduling and changes from their end, and they charged a fee to come out to Sonoma County (which I accepted). They arrived and lubricated the windows, and told me that they'd order the parts and return to install them. I was surprised at the cost of this very short visit which included replacing a tandem lock and I was charged $75 for the part which is available for $18 on Amazon. I followed up a few times to check on the progress but didn't get clear info. Nearly 3 months later, I asked again and was told that they were waiting for me to 'accept the estimate' which I had never received. I had been told it would be a month or so to get the parts and then a couple of weeks to schedule, so this was disappointing. I finally saw the estimate and saw that they were charging me $73 for each trim kit, although they are available online for $16. I understand that business put a mark up on parts, but that's nearly 5x markup and combined with the confusing and inadequate scheduling and communications, it was a frustrating experience.

This company is slick, with a great showroom, and all the bells and whistles. But, from subcontractors that didn't show up, to materials not ordered on a timely basis, to in-fighting among their staff, this very expensive $80K bathroom remodel circled the drain when it went a month beyond their timeline! We even had to bring to their attention that they had hooked up the two toilets to the HOT WATER LINE. To add insult to injury, due to their accounting error, we ended up paying in full before the project was even near completion. After reading these other reviews, I have to wonder just who completed these other projects??? If we could, we'd love to post the pictures we have of the water from the remodel upstairs flooding our home office below... ooops, they forgot to make sure the waterline had been turned off. Do your homework, and in this economy, get several bids!

From our very first meeting, Zack took the time to understand our goals, budget, and priorities, helping us maximize the renovation potential of our new home without compromising quality or design. We decided to go with mountain top construction, and we could not be happier with that decision. The entire process was remarkably smooth. From planning to execution, the team was super professional and organized. They arrived on time each day, maintained a clean workspace, and were consistently ready to answer questions (also after hours) or adjust as needed. Their expertise was evident in how efficiently they handled challenges, coordinated tasks, and ensured that every element of the renovation aligned with our vision. The work itself was outstanding. The team delivered professional craftsmanship that was above our expectations, transforming our home into a beautiful, functional space that truly reflects our style and needs. They completed the project two weeks ahead of schedule, which was a wonderful surprise, and every stage of the renovation was handled with precision and care. Throughout the entire process, we felt confident and supported. By the time the project was finished, we were thrilled with the results. We highly recommend Zack and Mountain Top Construction to anyone seeking a skilled, trustworthy, and professional team that delivers exceptional results while making the renovation experience enjoyable and fun:)

David Mulligan is as good as it gets when it comes to a general contractor in the Marin area. If he…read morehas availability to do your project you must hire him. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This was my first remodeling project and I chose David and Builders of Marin after interviewing ~4 different contractors. The project was a to-the-studs renovation and expansion of a ~1,500sqft, 2 bed, 2 bath ranch home into a ~3,500sqft 4 bed, 4.5 bath contemporary home. Complicating the build was (1) that the house was on a steeply sloped, small lot, (2) needed an entirely new foundation, and (3) was on a narrow street with no parking. WORKING WITH DAVID AND BOM: Working with David on this project was a pleasure. I hear friends describe their interactions with contractors and consider myself very lucky that I was able to work with David and his team on my project. If I ever do any remodel I will only do it if I can get David to do the work, and if I ever buy another house I will get David to visit the property with me. In fact, I would probably hire David first and then shop around for an architect. David is highly responsive, detail oriented, and does what he says he will do every time. From a work-style perspective, David is the ultimate high-integrity professional -- which is difficult to find in the construction industry at times. HOW DAVID AND BOM ARE BETTER THAN OTHER CONTRACTORS: David and BOM are better than other contractors based on three very important qualities: estimate accuracy, follow-through and execution, and crew / construction quality. ESTIMATE ACCURACY: One of the most difficult things about a high-end residential construction project is getting anyone to tell you how much anything costs. David will do the work to come up with an accurate quote, and will give you a reasonable, sober estimate as to how much different scope changes will change the budget. He brought our project in on-time (incredibly rare) and on budget (when adjusted for us changing the project scope and adding ~700sqft midway through). He does not over-promise or under quote (as many GCs do), and also doesn't mark-up everything by 30% (as many GCs do). Furthermore, if he finds cost savings midway through the project he will help you realize those. FOLLOW-THROUGH: As mentioned above David is accurate at estimating project costs and timelines. He is able to BE accurate because he has the crews and sub-contractor relationships to get the work done on time. Unlike many GCs who over-extend themselves during good construction markets, David has a number of quality crews with incredible site foremen (Kim was ours -- the best!) and is able to realistically budget their time to avoid delays. Furthermore, David believes in doing what he says he will do and will make the construction personnel be there to get the work done. CREW / CONSTRUCTION QUALITY: David believes in retaining the best people and has been working with many members of his crews for 20+ years. Many of his master carpenters started out as unskilled labor with him decades ago, and he has taught and mentored them up himself. What this has allowed David to build is a team obsessed with construction quality that knows how to do things the right way, and can get things done quickly. Furthermore, he has a deep bench of talent that he can put to work on projects to get them done on time, the right way. The commitment to finish quality from David and his whole crew is maniacal, and they are able to pull-off flawless contemporary designs that require high build quality. I would like to call out Kim, Omar, Jesus and the whole BOM team who worked on my house -- they are all incredible craftsmen and wonderful people to be around. For all of these reasons and many more, I wholeheartedly recommend David and Builders of Marin for your next project. I would also recommend you get on his docket early -- he gets booked up fast!

Little did we know at the time, what a massive undertaking this project would be. After talking to several contractors and on the recommendation of our Architect, we selected Builders of Marin to build our home. We picked David because there was something honest about him. What you see is what you get. Having experienced other contractors in the past, that is a huge positive to us and not something we normally encountered. The original plan was to expand onto the existing house but we realized that everything was rotten after decades of neglect by the previous owner and ended up tearing everything down back to dirt and started over. This turned out to be bigger than we ever planned or budgeted for. Along the way, David was able to guide us though all of it. He stepped in and problem solved a range of issues, including many interior design issues that was not even his responsibility. From the mundane of relocating an outlet, to the life changing "holy sh*t, we are having twins", David we need an extra bedroom, David and his experienced crew, handled it all to made our dream on paper become a reality.
