I cannot recommend Ivan highly enough. We just completed an addition to our house in San Jose, which added around 300 sq ft, included a new bathroom and had to tie into the existing structure of our house. We met with several general contractors and got several bids for the project and ended up choosing Ivan. There is a number of examples of why I would recommend Ivan if you are doing a larger project: 1. He is reasonable about budget, he gave us a very reasonable bid and tried his best to stick to that bid as much as possible. Almost all overages in the bid were of my choosing to use different materials or changes to the design throughout it. Ivan always let me know how much more something was going to be and was always reasonable if I asked for more bids from subcontractors to try to get a better price. He is never willing to sacrifice quality for the price, but will actively work on your behalf to get quotes down to where they should be and deny out subcontractors based on price. We would not have been able to complete the project in the price range many people gave us. An example were, one of his framers came in at a higher price than what he bid us, Ivan worked hard to find a different framer that he felt would do the job correctly and he could trust but was back closer to the big price. 2. He is extremely knowledgable about all parts of construction. He is easily able to answer ideas, come up with creative suggestions. His companies name is not a joke, he is EXTREMELY precise. So much that he worries about quality and things being perfect to a point that he would tell me he is changing something or having someone redo something because it wasn't up to his standards when I didn't even notice there was a problem when I saw it. He is able to work with his subcontractors and correct a situation when something is not done right. He holds them accountable and himself accountable for any problems and gets them fixed. Another example of his precision is this was a large permitted project where we added square footage, it was inspected multiple times throughout the project, not a single inspection didn't pass and even the inspectors commented on the quality of his work. In fact I have had multiple see what he has don't and comment on the quality of his work. He is also extremely clean and worked around our schedule which is nice since we had to camp in the living room while our master bedroom was being redone. 3. He is straightforward and an all around nice person to work with and deal with. He is friendly and considerate, this is a great quality to have when you are working with someone over months. 4. He took into consideration our needs out of the project. We wanted things like soundproofing, he made it happen, we wanted certain features of the bathroom, he made it happen. We wanted a modern look, he made it happen. He did everything is a extremely fast paced timeline and I never felt like we were behind schedule, it always felt as if the project was moving along well. In the end the project turned out much better than we had actually imagined and we still marvel at how great it is. When you are spending a good deal of money you fear that if might not be worth it, so it is refreshing to look at it at the end and be overly happy with how it turned out and not worry at all if you made the right decision. I don't know if we would be in the same situation without coming across Ivan, and I can't recommend him highly enough. I have worked with several general contractors before in the past and I have not had as good of an experience as with Ivan, there is so many more remodeling projects I would like to bring him back for when I have the money to do so. Thanks for everything! read more

This was our first house project and we cannot say how great it was to work with Ivan. We have heard horror stories from friends about remodels with different general contractors - that did not happen with Ivan! My husband and I had an idea of the general vibe we wanted for our kitchen/living room but Ivan made it happen better than we could have imagined! He helped guide us with products and realistic choices, all while keeping in mind the style we wanted for our home. He communicated with us daily, made sure we were completely aware of what was going on with the project and where are budget was with our remodel. He would communicate where we could save money and where we could splurge. He let us know where we would really see the difference and where it wouldn't matter as much. He kept to the timeline he gave us - he worked miracles to get the job done on time and get us out of our guest bedroom (make shift kitchen during the remodel) - he was a life saver! We feel so lucky to have had such a great experience with our kitchen remodel - we walk down to our kitchen every day and can not believe it is our house - Ivan was amazing and we will definitely ask him to do more work on our house! Thank you so much Ivan! ~The GJ family read more

Ivan and crew did a great job on our entryway remodel, starting from the engineering designs, permits, finish work, everything. Ivan is responsive, provided an ongoing spreadsheet of costs which were right inline with the estimates and were quite reasonable compared to other bids we had. Overall a great experience and I'll definitely use him for our next project. read more

We recently used Precision Home Builders for a house extension and were very pleased with the finished product. We had in our minds eye what we wanted, Ivan was able to duplicate it perfectly also adding some nice refinements we had not thought of. We had 6 foot added to our master bedroom, a walk in closet and wood flooring installed, this also involved a roof extension, A/C relocation and all painting, fixtures and fitting brought to match perfectly with all the existing. Ivan did a large portion of the structural work which was very professionally finished, all the contractors were punctual polite and all worked to a very high standard, the completion happened ahead of the original schedule. Ivan took care of everything from Planing to Painting he was courteous, punctual had many great ideas that significantly added to the finished product, we are very happy with the total quality of workmanship and our finished product and would highly recommend him and use him again. read more

We have hired recently Precision Home Builders to remodel our deck. This contractor was recommended by our architect, and even though we had couple other bids, we are very happy we stuck with Precision Home Builders. The project pricing was very reasonable, and what is more important, it did not explode by the end with changes we have made to the plan. The builder kept work within the promised schedule. He met with us frequently, explained required steps and consulted each decision to be made if it was not clear from the plan. The employes of the Precision Builders were very highly skilled, were never a nuisance during whole project and left the site spotless cleaned. Unlike with previous projects, we have no damages to landscape, or any other pieces of property. We had hired multiple contractors on many jobs, and this was the nicest experience ever. The completed deck is so beautiful, I will definitely hire Precision Home Builders in the future read more

Giving 5 stars to a contractor, never thought this was possible given past experiences but Precision Home Builders deserves them and more! When I had to hire a contractor for remodeling our kitchen, I met with a few of them and Ivan was the most honest and convincing. His proposal was very clear, detailed, setting the expectations in terms of time and budget the best. Then, came the aspect of work quality and he and the people he work with are extremely good. If something doesn't come up perfectly, he does not hesitate to re-do it. I am a quality engineer and tend to focus on details (too much maybe...) and everything came out beautifully. Remodeling can be stressful but not with Precision Home Builders, whatever challenge there may be, Ivan always finds a solution. We had decided to stay in our house during the remodeling which can be difficult but thanks to Ivan, it was fine, he made sure our living condition were always good which is quite impressive given the work that had to be done (electrical, plumbing, walls, floor...) During our project, I couldn't find a provider for an element of the kitchen and Ivan came to the rescue, recommending the best craftsman in the area to build that part. Towards the end, another contractor was supposed to do a small part but abandoned me at the last minute and this was preventing the completion of the project, once again, Ivan stepped up and did what needed to be done perfectly. To sum it up, would I hire Precision Home Builders again for future work in our house? Yes, without hesitation. read more

We recently hired Precision Home Builders to build a large cantilevered deck in our backyard. We couldn't be happier with the results! The deck looks beautiful, more than I could have ever imagined. Ivan and his crew are professional, pay attention to the details, and are very efficient. I was surprised how quickly and effortlessly the project was completed. Precision Home Builders really cares about providing quality service. The crew is passionate about their work, and it shows. And Ivan is still going the extra mile. He came by a few weeks ago to address a minor issue, and while he was here, he noticed that the new railing was developing some surface rust (I hadn't even noticed it). The next thing I know, Ivan sent the railing company to come and remove the rust and repaint the spot. I was so surprised. (Keep in mind that the project had been completed months ago). I was so pleased to see that he still stands behind his work and really cares even when the official project period ends. We will be using Ivan and his crew for all future home renovations without a doubt. I can't recommend them enough. read more

We contacted with Precision Home Builders for a kitchen remodel involving several walls being taken down. The results were transformative to our house and we couldn't be happier. We worked with Ivan from the start to draw our plans up and get appropriate building license from the city. Ivan was key here and surprised me by how prompt he was to responding to any questions I sent his direction. Once the approvals were in Ivan and his crew were promptly to work. As this was our first renovation, Ivan was more than happy to walk me step by step through the process and give me clear directions on what and when he needed certain decisions/purchases to be made. With Ivan's project management skills our kitchen was remodeled quickly and at what we think is a great price. Finally, if you work with Ivan you will soon notice that he is meticulous about the quality of work that he or his crew delivers and doesn't mind providing recommendations on what he this will be the best solutions that you will be happy with over time. Thanks Ivan and Crew read more

I completely agree with everything in Sammy L's thorough review.

I'll definitely be hiring him again. read more

Ivan is a pleasure to work with. He will give you very close personal attention through every step of the process. He helps you understand all your options, and the associated costs and benefits. He is very detail oriented, and very good at managing multiple sub contractors at a time and adhering to a tight schedule. He has an eye for design details, and has very high standards when it comes to workmanship, as if he is building for himself. We are very happy with our house and enthusiastically recommend him for your project. read more
