Mo and the entire team at Builders Firm have been absolutely outstanding. They renovated two of our…read morehomes, our beach home in La Jolla and our estate in La Mesa, and delivered exceptional results on both projects. What truly sets Mo apart is his ability to provide end to end service. From early planning and design guidance to flawless execution and reliable post project maintenance, he and his team stand behind their work and take real pride in what they build. Their capabilities are incredibly broad. They handled full kitchen remodels, layout restructuring, exterior hardscaping, structural improvements, new roofing, upgraded electrical, bathroom remodels, flooring, and everything in between. Every part of the process was managed professionally and efficiently. Mo has built a world class team where each person takes personal responsibility for their craft. The attention to detail, communication, and quality of work consistently exceeded expectations. Beyond the quality of the work, Mo himself is one of the most professional and genuinely warm people you could hope to work with. Renovations can be stressful, but he made the process smooth, collaborative, and even enjoyable. We cannot wait to continue partnering with him on future projects. Highly recommend Builders Firm to anyone looking for a top tier contractor.

Renovated my 1940's bathroom, taking it down to the studs, and turned it into exactly what we wanted. He also made improvements to our master bathroom. I called 22 different companies in San Diego before choosing a contractor and from the start, I knew we were going to pick him. He was definitely top 3 most affordable. With his smaller company and no marketing side, you save so much overhead cost. His dad was a contractor, passing down a wealth of knowledge to go along with Steve's already lengthy career. His wife used to work in HR so even our unofficial estimated bid was incredibly detailed. Everything itemized and you knew where your money was going. You didn't just get this huge amount. Then in the actual contract, he includes a payment schedule. They use an electronic invoice service as well, making it easy to keep track of what you've paid. All laid out and professional. With someone being in your home for an extended period of time, it was important that we get someone we would be comfortable around our kids. He was great all around, great to talk to (that's how I know details of his family lol) and my kids are actually going to miss him and his crew haha. He's a tall guy but as nice and jolly as can be! Of course with any renovations, things can't be guaranteed because who knows what's behind the wall or under the floor. But he did the best he could to work with us when any unexpected cost came up. Financially fair in my opinion. We'll be using him again when we've saved up for our kitchen!

Do not use this man-I hired him and paid him close to 7K to paint my tiny mobile home and redo my…read morebathroom. The quote specifically said PREP and paint and he did NO prep and the painting was very sloppy (see pics) When I asked him to fix it he said it would cost extra. In my bathroom, I paid him almost a thousand dollars to install a bathtub and surround, unfortunately that obviously did not include trim or caulking. (see pics) I paid him $250 to install a vanity which of course did not include installing the top or the cabinet doors (see pics). I originally hired him to put in the new sub-floor, he was friendly seemed to know what he was doing however after he refused fix the issues and yelled at me, between when I had scheduled someone to put in the new flooring, we ended up with another hole in the floor (see pics) because he did not do it correctly. I was open to him coming back to fix the issues but I have not heard a word from him. If you disregard my advice and hire him, please take note that he will not give you quotes until the day of (like 10 minutes before he shows up so you don't even see it until afterwards) and the prices are ridiculous, that mirror in the bathroom was $100 to hang. It did not need any cutting and there is STILL plastic on it so I have to take it down and rehang it. Also, after repeatedly asking him to make sure the doggie gate was up when he went in and out of my house, he allowed my deaf and blind 16 year old dog out and thought it was funny (luckily my neighbor saw him and returned him). He also yelled at me for asking him a question (I don't think I've yelled at the person signing my paycheck) so he obviously doesn't like animals or other people. I would just stay away from this guy, he does sloppy work and doesn't even stand behind his in-writing quotes. Getting an invoice from him is impossible, his record keeping is as sloppy as his work is.

We were not financially or mentally prepared for a kitchen remodel but we had a water leak that was…read morenot covered by insurance. After interviewing multiple contractors, we chose Scott because he could start immediately, get the work done in a shorter amount of time and quoted us much less. He's able to offer all of this because he does most of the work himself except for the demo, flooring and paint. He was very communicative and quick to respond. We were able to pick our own cabinets and countertops suppliers. He warranties his work for life. One of the drawer faces started to chip and they sent us a new one and Scott came right over to put the new one on for us. Overall he turned our nightmare into a beautiful kitchen. Bonus, he also has a water remediation team which I knew about sooner!

I was referred to Scott by San Diego Kitchen Cabinets. I hit the jackpot. Scott is a general…read morecontractor and can do most anything. My request was to gut and then renovate my medium sized galley kitchen. At our consultation he estimated two to three weeks. I was incredulous. Scott completely finished the job (and some extras) well within that period of time! He gave me a start date..very close to our initial consultation, and actually started when he said he would! Scott ALWAYS showed up when he said that he would and never left me hanging. The end result was about as close to perfect as I could have expected. Very important to me is Scott's overall demeanor- he is calm, respectful, professional. His prices may be on the higher end...I honestly have little to compare it to- but I know from many renovations, in other locations, you get what you pay for.

This company has helped us with two big projects. In between I tried two other companies, and DIY with Pro Help really sets the bar. They recently wrapped up 2 trex decks and 2 new patios doors. Right from the beginning, they helped us with the planning. They were fully respectful of our wishes, budget, and had some great suggestions too. Progress and completion of the project was accurately timed, and the only timing issues at all had to do with a delay in materials arrival from the lumberyard. Otherwise, as issues popped up (issues and unknown challenges always pop up), they were communicated and professionally handled. They take pride in doing fine work, and along the way they are pleasant to be around, absolutely trustworthy, and overall solid professionals. I am already planning subsequent projects. Side note: I read a lot of reviews but don't leave that many. Sometimes when I'm reading, I wonder "is that really true, or is this review just an affirmation for the reviewer's own choice?" If you are critical like me, then you know what I mean by that. So I am very critical, and this company is tops for me. They are reliable, trustworthy, and darn skilled too. I will definitely work with them on future projects. I got the list already brewing!

I just worked with Drew on a double bathroom remodel in my condo and could not be happier. I knew I…read morecould do the painting and electrical, and I had wanted to do the tile myself, too -- but I was afraid I'd screw it up, and so had planned to hire someone else to do the floors entirely. Then I learned about DIY with Pro Help. It was perfect -- I got hands on instruction for every step from cutting to mixing to setting, and had supervision and help to make sure things went smoothly. I'm now confident I could take on a future tile project on my own, and I saved money. Plus, Drew helped me with parts of the project I didn't realize I'd need help with, and would not have been able to complete on my own. My husband and I are thrilled with how everything turned out. Overall, Drew is a very knowledgeable and professional coach, and I strongly recommend his work.

He has basically destroyed my confidence in my home. I am currently in the process of gathering estimates to correct 10s of thousands of dollars of poor workmanship that does not follow accepted trade practices. Had a window consultant, a licenced glazing and general building contractor out to look at the windows. Result? All windows need pulled out, framing fixed, and reinstalled correctly. SJB also installed a window in my son's bedroom that violates fire egress code. The window only opens 18". Minimum is 20". So I need a new window there now. I have told Steve about the windows. He is ignoring me. Steve's only response to my concerns was to ask for more money, for me to sign a gag order so that I cannot review him, and to exempt him from any liability. Not. a. chance. I have attached pictures of Steve's attempt to ask me for more money and to relinquish all of my rights. Is this why I have posted the first bad review? Have others signed their rights away to make Steve go away? Not me. Steve claims I am grading "unfinished work". Tile, floors, and windows are straightened out later at the end of project? Right. So he was going to pull baseboards off and pull the planks out of the drywall? Then put the baseboards back on? He was going to magically correct the tile work? He was going to correct the window framing with the windows completely installed and all finishes complete? Makes sense. If you are reading this and had SJB do any work at your home in the past, I HIGHLY recommend inspecting the work. Also - often he said he is doing work for "free" or "part of the project". Be careful.

I called Steve the second day I had a house leak to patch up drywall and renovate the upstair bathrooms. Steve showed up the about ten days because he was busy with his schedule and water mitigation was just finished. I asked Steve to give me two separate estimates; first for the bathroom with the leak, needed the pave new tiles, dry wall and the downstair ceiling drywall. Second, for the other bathroom I wanted to renovate. I explained that first bathroom will be covered by insurance and secondary will be paid by me. He noted. I waited approximately about a week for the quote, no response. So I called multiple times and texted him for 3 days. He said he was busy and he is working on the estimate. Finally he got the estimate, and it was done incorrectly because all the items and labor costs weren't itemized as I requested. Also, he added the second bathroom into the estimate which i also requested not to add all together. I told Steve that you need to revise this estimate, because insurance co. isnt accepting this form. Another week went by, and i havent received anything. All the sudden, Steve texted me if i have decided to use another contractor, i replied not yet, and I'm waiting on the estimate still. He forwarded me the revised estimate about a day later with second bathroom in the estimate. At the point, I've just given up. Basically, he left me hanging, and I have no master bathroom to use and giant hole in the ceiling. If I would have used another contractor, this would have been completed by today. Obiviously Steve couldnt follow simple instruction. I wouldnt trust my house in his hands either. If you like to wait for one response everyday 4 days, use Steve. Your remodeling will be done in about 6 months.

The installer did the job in a few hours, and it looks great! Amazingly, there was not the slightest bit of paint damage, so I don't have to repaint around the window! The window is double-glazed and argon-filled, with high energy efficiency ratings. Pricing was reasonable, with no surprises. Scheduling and communication could have been better. The job was originally scheduled for a Thursday, then rescheduled for Friday, and finally for Monday, with little or no notice for each rescheduling. The project manager (Sam) was always communicative and apologetic when he had to reschedule, and this wasn't an urgent job, so this was no big deal. I would happily hire the company again.

After meeting with multiple companies that didn't really listen, we were exhausted. We didn't want a luxury La Jolla-style bathroom bigger than our bedroom -- just a simple bathroom that fit within our home's existing footprint. A neighbor recommended Sylvia and her team. We met with Sylvia, who took detailed measurements, really listened to what we envisioned, and provided a fair and transparent quote. She and her team worked with us every step of the way providing suggestions to select and source our materials (tile, drywall, and fixtures). Once the work began, we immediately noticed the efficiency of the crew -- they were ahead of schedule. We ended up adding a few extra items to the project, and Sylvia easily accommodated each request. She was upfront about pricing and consistently communicative throughout the process. In the end, we couldn't be happier. We now have the simple, functional 5x7 bathroom we wanted, our popcorn ceiling is gone, and the lighting in our kitchen and dining room has been improved. We confidently and wholeheartedly recommend Sylvia and her team to anyone looking for quality workmanship and honest, attentive service.

I worked with Sylvia and she produced a design for new cabinets, new countertops and backsplash, and lowering the pony wall to create more counter space. This is my first kitchen renovation so I had a lot of questions! Sylvia answered them all and was straightforward about what she and her team could do and what they couldn't do, which I really appreciated. In the end our renovation took one week to finish, which is really fast! It actually would have been one day faster, but I needed to add anew 50A electric line to power my induction range, so Sylvia's team had to wait a day for my electrician to install that. We love our new kitchen, and our peninsula now has 3x more working space.
