When meeting Todd for the first time, I was very sure this is the contractor to do the job. He is knowledgeable, and has a warm and caring attitude for your project to be completed with the vision you imagined. This did not digress during the entire project. Communication was great too. I knew who was going to show up at my house each morning. As a homeowner, there are always concerns, and they were explained in a clear and timely manner. Were mistakes made? Yes, and fortunately they were minor, but they took responsibility, no excuses. Once walls were taken down, yes surprises did occur. Todd explained thoroughly what the best options were to resolve the issue. TS Contraction's crew also takes the same approach. No matter what trade is working on your project, their aim is to do the job right, and are willing to explain the process to you. I recommend TS Construction 100%. They are trustworthy, talented, and get the job done right.

Strand Builders is one of the companies I would highly recommend. Steve Strand has been helping homeowners for over 30 years.

In 2015 my husband and I began construction on a new-build farmhouse in the Orinda Country Club…read morearea and Steve Strand took over the construction of our home at a point where we were completing the dry wall. Despite being a brand new build, it was effectively a back-to-studs re-model when Steve came on-board. Our home is highly-custom utilizing high-end fixtures and fittings which can sometimes be finickity to install but Steve's experienced network of subs didn't get phased. The walls downstairs are custom milled poplar siding which were sawn and installed board-by-board and upstairs we have board and batten siding throughout demanding quality carpentry work. There was a moment shortly after Steve came on-board which I have shared with friends that, for me, captures how Steve approaches his work. I came up to the site a few days after Steve came on-board and he had purchased a number of Ipe decking boards for our porch. Steve was showing me these Ipe boards and explaining why he had chosen each one in terms of the vibrancy and complexity of each board and while trying to have a conversation about these boards, I was welling up because I knew then that we had finally found a contractor who cared as much as we did about the details of our home; this was on the tail of parting ways with a very challenging contractor. Steve's attention to detail never, ever, faltered regardless of what that meant to the timeline of the project. His focus on delivering an amazing outcome combined with his talent and experience to achieve that goal is the reason why he is such a successful custom home builder. As another example, the stovetop range hood took days to get perfectly right involving multiple attempts up and down a ladder to get the fit perfect. Steve could have fudged it and moved on but that's simply not his approach and I'm grateful for that everyday. There are so many areas in my home which have been elevated by Steve's attention to detail. Lastly, Steve and his superbly talented carpenter, Carlos, are professional and respectful to work with. Contractors who successfully work with clients on a custom home build need to be patient, flexible, creative and have a business model that allows them to focus on delivering an amazing outcome. Other builders might focus on speed and budget which is ideal for spec homes but not custom homes. I can't recommend Steve Strand highly enough. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with him, you will be in the very best hands. Steve completed our home in December 2016 and worked so hard to finish the house so that we could be in for Christmas. We're indebted to Steve for coming on-board and creating such a beautiful home for our family.

We had a great experience working with KC Custom Builders on our project. From the very beginning,…read morecommunication was phenomenal. Nathan and his team were consistently responsive across phone, text, and email, and we always felt like we knew what was happening and what to expect next. That level of communication alone set them apart from many other contractors we considered. One of the standout aspects of the process was their use of Buildertrend. Having a centralized place for updates, schedules, selections, and messaging made the entire remodel feel organized and transparent. It eliminated a lot of the typical uncertainty that comes with construction projects and gave us confidence that nothing was slipping through the cracks. Given the complexity of our project and the inevitable unknowns that come with remodeling, we felt the schedule was managed very well. When adjustments were needed, they were clearly communicated, along with the reasoning behind them. That transparency made a big difference and helped us stay aligned throughout the process. The team was also very mindful of keeping our home clean and protected during construction. They took consistent care to minimize disruption, which made day-to-day life much easier while the work was ongoing. In terms of quality, there was a clear attention to detail at every stage, and especially in the finished work. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and the final result feels well-crafted, thoughtful, and built to last. We spoke with several contractors before moving forward, and while there were other solid options, none matched the level of transparency, organization, and ease of working that we experienced with Nathan and his team. They were straightforward, professional, and genuinely focused on delivering a good outcome. We have already recommended KC Custom Builders to friends and neighbors and will continue to do so. If you're looking for a team that communicates clearly, manages the process well, and delivers high-quality results, they are an excellent choice.

HOMEOWNERS BE AWARE! DO NOT PAY FOR THE ITEMIZED BID!!…read more We hired Nathan Casey to do an itemzied bid for our home remodel project. He charges people $3,000 to give a detailed bid for projects. Our experience led us to the conclusion that Nathan was more interested in charging us for an estimate and that he ultimately had little intention of taking the job (unless we bit on his extremely and surprising "final bid"). We'll explain why. First he gives you a ballpark number. At the time we already had all of our architect and structural drawings that he reviewed. And he had come to the house a couple of times. His delivered an estimate that ranged from $500K - $800K, without any details about what drove that range. Knowing what we know now, that should have been the first red flag. Someone with his background and experience should never had given that large of a range as all plans were done, and most of the major materials were chosen. Yet, we hired him to do an itemized specific estiamate, for $3000, so that we could seriously consider him for the project. After agreeing to pay the fee and hiring him, he missed deadline after deadline of providing us a final bid we could consider - which jeopardized our ability to commit to the contractor we ultimately selected while we waited. He told us that his estimate would take 4-6 weeks and we didn't have a final number until over 8 weeks. He kept forgetting specific information that was given to him, like what materials were being used where. He also kept misunderstanding the structural drawings and insisting that the information needed validating (which it did not, we are using the same structural now for the job and they are correct). Also, as an interesting corroborating side note: his final bid never involved his stated intention to inspect our attic and crawlspace/foundation to ensure accuracy. Is that evidence that his "final" bid wasn't in good faith, accurate, or best practice... given the substantial work to our foundation and roof in this project? As we communicated to him in person, the fact that he gave us an "original range" in writing of $500k-$800k for our project (which included full architectural, engineering, electrical, and most all design plans)... but he still required $3000 for an "accurate bid"... only to then deliver a final bid at $830k without any project scope change... was revealing. When we asked him point blank: "under what circumstances was this project ever possible to be $500k"... he provided no answer. Interestingly enough, after many delays and us pinging him on delivering his final estimate over the 8 weeks we engaged, when it came to collecting his $3000 bid fee Nathan then frequently emailed and texted us, and was very focused and communicative around collecting.

So why the review update? We sold the house for WAY over ask, cash deal, quick close, in large part because of the Gayler work done on the house.

So we loved the work they did on the house and it turned out to be one of the rare times when home improvements turned into a very lucrative investment.

My husband and I eagerly showed up for our meeting, excited to see the plans they had prepared for transforming our '50s kitchen. After they wowed us with the renderings and all the possibilities, they showed us the estimated fee, which was approximately $200K over our budget. I almost burst into tears. After an awkward silence, the Gayler team found it appropriate to pour salt in our wounds, with a comment to the effect of, "Well, maybe you can afford it if your stocks do well this year." It was the humiliation on top of disappointment that was the nail in the coffin for us. We were already out of pocket in the thousands with Gayler, but the thought of working with them made me nauseous.

I would have never thought that a home remodel project could be enjoyable, but this was! Odyssey Builders employs workers who are not only skilled, but personable, understanding, friendly, and considerate of you and your space within the home as they are working. Our projects were completed on time or ahead of schedule. No complaints. Choosing to work with Brannan and his company was a no brainer. We appreciated his laidback attitude while also being upfront with his projected costs and schedule. Having numerous projects that needed redoing at the same time, we found his insight into ways to effectively cut costs while still maintaining the function and the aesthetic of our small bathroom invaluable. We met with multiple contractors before deciding who to work with on both of our bathrooms. Brannan and Oddyssey Builders were not only the most cost effective but far and away the most trustworthy people we met with during the quoting process. They didn't try to upsell us anything or talk about large overhead design features we didn't need. Brannan took time to have lengthy discussions with us up front about different options we had to lower costs to make our remodels what we wanted within our budget. It was an incredibly personable experience compared to simple impersonal sales pitches w/out in-depth discussions we had with other contractors. We trusted Brannan to carry out our vision of the projects within our budget and he delivered 100%. The results are beautiful. Two different bathrooms, each dramatically improved from what was there before while displaying our personal taste and adding some character to our home. We really love how much we were able to drive the design of the bathrooms with Brannan's guidance on the different tradeoffs of options for each decision. The final bathroom products are beautiful, polished and satisfy all of our needs and desires. We love them and feel like we couldn't have ended up with anything better if we did anything differently. 10 out of 10!

I feel they are honest, professional and have all their credentials. TThey answer when you call, and return texts, they are also very enjoyable and have the best solutions to problems that you think can't be fixed, they turned our mess around and took complete control of what mess we were in from our contractor not knowing, I cannot say enough great things about GABLE PAYNE and his team. We will definitely be forever grateful and will call them again when we need help. I give them 10 stars. If honesty, timelines, reliable, professional, great work start to finish is important to you give Gable and his team a call, they won't let you down. Its hard to find a crew who cares as much as this family owned business does.
