They listened to our concerns and helped us over come obsticals during our home renovation. One example of helping us bring our vision to life and improving the vision, was the lighting in our home We weren't sure what to do about lighting in our house, some rooms have vaulted ceilings and others don't. I am not a huge fan of floor lamps and didn't want giant globes all over the place. Josh and team came up with doing recessed LED lighting in all the rooms. Let me tell you, I could not be happier. The lighting looks fantastic and really pulls our home design together. If you are looking for a team to help you rennovate your home floor to ceiling, I would absolutely recommend contacting them.

We purchased a home in Dublin, CA in 2021 from Brookfield. The post closing experience was a year…read morelong nightmare due to numerous quality control issues. In our post closing experience we had filed some 50-60 tickets for issues. After two years of ownership, we got most of our issues addressed, but it was a long fight and it left a very sour taste in our mouths. Overall the home is quite beautiful but the failure was in the execution, hence why I'm giving two stars instead of one. For comparison, my family and my parents have lived in a number of new construction homes over the last 20 years. I have a lot to compare with and have seen what is a reasonable standard. This builder is using lowest level talent in trades. We had several big ticket issues which required large fixes. We had an incorrectly installed electrical option which took 6 visits to correct. Two of the visits resulted in electrical code violations. Brookfield was trying to save effort and deliberately wired our outlet incorrectly because it was a cheap way to solve the issue but the fix was unsafe and illegal. We got the city involved. Our wood flooring was installed unlevel due to poor subfloor preparation. The spec for new floor installation from the manufacturer is pretty stringent -- no more than 1/4 inch deviation over 10 feet -- and surely we had several large humps across our wood floor. This was a two week project where we were moved to a hotel and our furniture was moved out of the home. Funny enough, during the repair, the tradesmen made the same mistake again in the subfloor preparation but luckily I was able to catch it before they installed the wood floor. We chose to stay home for the second week as I had to make sure I was personally inspecting the work every day else we'd risk having to have the floor ripped up again. Over half of the windows had substantial scratches in them. These are scratches deep enough where you can feel it when you run your fingernail over them. Brookfield of course tried to tell us that you have to be able to see the scratch from 11 ft away before they can replace it. I don't know how the bar got this low in quality standards, but a visible scratch of any kind is unacceptable. I don't know what the problem is, the builder hiring amateur cleaners or Milgard the window vendor's incompetence, needless to say this was a ridiculous argument. Through a lot of persistence we managed to get all of them replaced. Interior doors were all incorrectly installed. Through the manufacturer they state that the jambs on the doors must be trimmed to place the door at the correct height above the flooring. The tradesmen who installed all of the doors ignored this step which resulted in all doors being 1-1.5 inches above the finished flooring. This is large enough to stick your toes under the door to the other side and has consequences for noise, light and privacy. In addition the doors were not shimmed properly to create the correct gaps between the doors and the jambs. At night when a door is closed but a hallway light is on, you see light blaring through the cracks lighting up your whole room. In addition some doors were so poorly installed you could pull the door past the stop. This was a big fight. And of course, the fix was a solid B- work, although the main issue is repaired, you can see the scarring of retroactive work. There are also numerous technical issues with the design, specifically around HVAC. It seems that many modern builds are incorrectly sizing systems and this is no exception. This home included a Mitsubishi Electric VRF system with 8 heads. Although the system is quite nice and very advanced, it has a large learning curve and has a lot of incorrect setup. Ultimatley though, I believe the system is not properly sized for the home. The 8 interior heads leverage a single large 60k BTU condenser. The system cannot ramp down enough to serve one head and results in over heating/cooling. This required a lot of in depth research in my part to modify the system to perform properly but I worry about its longevity. Out of box the system was delivered in such a way that led to significant over heating/cooling in many of the smaller rooms (+/- 6 degrees). Imagine a baby room that's supposed to be 72 but is heated to 78+. We did get a lot of fixes done. However this was not without a year of blood, sweat, and tears. The builder will drag their feet, take weeks to respond to you, keep stringing you along months at a time, and sometimes walk back and say they won't do something anymore. They will gaslight you and tell you that your issue is normal, standard, or otherwise to get you to back down. On multiple occasions this required escalation to the VP of construction to re-explain our case. Over the year our context was lost because our warranty reps kept quitting. This is the state of new construction in 2020+. They know homes are in demand in CA and assume you will just take whatever you can get.

First of all I would like to say that Toll Brothers does build amazing homes with great floorplans,…read morebut that is what you pay a premium for. When you pay a premium you also expect those finishes to be done correctly and in a timely manner. I have been waiting for nearly a year to get certain flaws corrected since taking possession of the home and am still waiting. They rushed to get the home ready so they could get it off their books by the end of the year and now we are stuck with the consequences. I have taken time off and rearranged my schedule in order to be present for the workers who are scheduled to arrive and no one ever shows up. This is unbelievably frustrating. So be aware, if you are okay with the house as is when buying Toll Brothers great. But be prepared to fight for any corrections that need to be done. And on a side note, we just received a letter that their mortgage arm was hacked and all of our information stolen. I suspect a class action lawsuit is in the near future for them.

I just had the worst experience I've ever had with an agent, Deborah Gioiosa at Tripointe Homes…read moreLotus at Urbanoaks in San Jose, CA. I spoke to Deborah on October 30, 2025 regarding Plan 1 and Plan 2 and on Nov. 2nd we set an appointment for me to view the models and bring my deposit. I could not come earlier because I had to drive from Los Angeles. At the appointment, Deborah told me the unit had received an offer the evening of Nov. 5th and it had been accepted. She failed to notify me and her excuse was that the offer had come in very late. However, once my sister asked her about the chances the sale would fall out, Deborah said the 3 day recession period was ending that day, Nov. 6th at 5 pm. My sister then said the offer must have come in on Sunday, Nov. 2nd! Deborah had clearly lied! She should have notified me so I wouldn't have driven 14 hours (to and from), spent $100 in gas, and wasted my and my sister's time! I also discovered she had lied about pricing. Please note I would have purchased the unit at the price the buyer offered. I suspect Deborah thought she could sell me something else even though she clearly knew my budget. She's just "out to make a buck". I would never recommend her to anyone.

My husband and I just visited their new properties in Fremont (Morgan Square). I've visited a lot…read moreof model homes in my life (because my parents just seem to think this is a fun thing to do on the weekend) and the sales office here didn't have the feel of a real estate office at all. Have you ever been to an upscale apartment complex when they have about 10 vacant units? These people were employing the same sort of tactics. I guess it's difficult to sell something for way more than it's worth. When we asked to see one of the smaller models, the agent actually looked at my husband and said, "What? Is it just price?" No...it's not just price, it's price/value. Also, I don't think you need to try to make me feel bad about asking to see something that cost $600K. Could it be that we don't understand why anybody would want 4.5 bathrooms in a 3 bedroom house and didn't think that $900k was a dream bargain for that? I have to give them an extra star for green certification...and a few of the models did have kitchens that were pretty breathtaking. I think if I did own one of those town homes I would just sit in the kitchen all of the time and never leave. Judging from their website, that seems to be something they're quite fond of. They're also quite fond of wood chips...which I hate. Please just let me do what I want with my 2x2 patch of dirt. Also, in a period of economic downswing with a crappy housing market...you're going to have to work harder for my money than that.

Out of the companies that responded through Yelp, he came across as one of the most professional and serious about understanding the project rather than simply giving a quick estimate. He replied quickly to my questions through Yelp and was able to come out in a very reasonable timeframe to evaluate the work and discuss ideas in person. We hired Moe and the Optivest Build team for a decorative pergola/faux balcony repair and replacement project involving redwood, exterior trim work, stucco work, door jamb and casing repairs, sealing, and painting. The contract process was straightforward and I appreciated the flexibility and payment structure based on project milestones rather than everything being front-loaded. After Moe's initial site visit and evaluation, it became clear that a more comprehensive rebuild approach for most of the structure made more sense than piecemeal repairs. Moe explained the long-term benefit of rebuilding the deteriorated portions together rather than replacing isolated components now and potentially dealing with additional mobilization and repair costs again a few years later. I appreciated that he was not simply replacing wood, but also improving areas where the original design appeared to contribute to moisture issues. As the project progressed and portions were opened up, some additional weather and age-related deterioration was uncovered, which led to a few adjustments and additional repair steps along the way. Moe worked with me through options for addressing things as they were discovered and helped walk me through the process and next steps, which reduced some of the stress and uncertainty that can come with larger exterior repair projects. What stood out to me was that Moe stayed involved throughout the project, communicated with me consistently, personally came by to check on things, and had his project manager and crew return when touch-up or punch-list items needed attention. Even as the scope evolved, Moe stayed engaged throughout the project and continued working through follow-up, touch-up, and close-out items professionally. The crew was always polite and respectful of our property, worked hard throughout the project, and the project was fully cleaned up and closed out professionally at the end. No construction project is completely stress-free, but I appreciated that concerns were addressed and that the team worked to make things right when needed. In the end, the pergola turned out looking great, as did the additional trim, stucco, and repair work completed throughout the project. We are happy with the final result and would feel comfortable recommending Moe and Optivest Build to others looking for a responsive and professional contractor. Grateful to Moe and his crew for their job well done.
