Karen was my projecg manager, handled everything seamlessly. He communicated with me every step, kept me updated and make sure the entire process was smooth. The quality of the work and labor was outstanding. The deck(trex) and the pavers walkway came out beatiful and exceeded my expectations. It is clear this team takes real pride in what they do. Definitely worth the money, and i highly recommend this compamy.

Review Update (2026)…read more I am updating my original 5-star review from a few years ago. At the time, we were very happy with our kitchen remodel and the overall experience working with Creative Design & Build. The project turned out beautifully, which is why I originally left such a positive review. Over the years, however, I noticed that one section of the flooring felt slightly soft when walking on it. At first, it did not seem serious, so we continued to live with it. Recently, the problem became worse and a section of the floor began to noticeably sink when stepped on and eventually a few edges of the flooring broke. At that point, I became concerned that it could become a safety issue. Because we still had plenty of spare flooring boards left over from the project, I attempted to replace the affected board myself. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the new board to fit correctly due to the locking system, and I could not restore the original board either. I then contacted Creative Design & Build for assistance. One reason I reached out was because our original project manager, Oded, had told us that if we ever had any issues, we should contact the company. I left a voicemail and later received a return call from a staff member. After I explained the situation, she said she would check with management and get back to me. A few days later, I received a text message stating that the warranty had expired and that no repairs would be covered. This was disappointing because I had never been informed that there was a four-year warranty period, nor was I able to find any reference to such a limitation in our contract. When I asked for details regarding the warranty and whether they could recommend someone to repair the issue, I did not receive any further response. There were two other issues relating to electrical and plumbing, however we decided to live with that until we had a major problem we needed fixing. I still appreciate the work that was done on our remodel years ago, and our kitchen remains a space we enjoy. However, I have been disappointed by the lack of follow-up and support when a problem arose. My advice to future customers is to make sure all warranty terms, coverage details, and expiration dates are clearly documented and understood before signing a contract.

I recently hired BNC Builders for a major home project and the experience was fantastic from start…read moreto finish. They handled the entire process effortlessly, starting with the preconstruction phase (taking care of all the blueprints and city permits) right through to the final construction. Our main scope included a bedroom extension, full bedroom and bathroom remodels, custom closets, pocket doors, and new pavers in the backyard. The entire crew was professional, highly skilled and respectful of our home. The quality of their work across all these different interior and exterior areas is outstanding. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, full-service contractor!

Our experience with BNC Builders was outstanding from beginning to end. From our first meeting through the final walkthrough, every aspect of our bathroom remodel exceeded our expectations. The contractor and every subcontractor were knowledgeable, punctual, courteous, meticulous, and took genuine pride in their work. Communication was excellent throughout the project, our home was treated with respect, and every detail of the finished bathroom reflects exceptional craftsmanship. Remodeling is stressful, but BNC made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. An anomaly in that business. We would recommend this team without reservation to anyone looking for honesty, professionalism, and outstanding quality. And would hire BNC again without hesitation.

It had challenges, usually the result of sub-contractors that worked for him, just like every project does. I wanted to update my rating from 4 stars to 5 because even years later Barry came back to fix things that I needed help with, and even recently he gladly provided some information to a friend that needed expert advice. He's a great guy, and I'm glad he's still in the business. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.

Highly Recommended General Contractor…read more I first heard about Barry because he did some work on my in-laws house. Then I come to find out that he built my coworkers house (Roger H). Both spoke very highly about the quality of work performed. In my experience, it's very difficult to find an honest contractor these days without paying those exorbitant bids from the big guys. As for my personal experience with Barry I got a bid for some demo work on my new home. His bid was one the lowest, almost 1/2 off some of the other bids we received. Do not take this recommendation lightly, at least get a bid from Sherman Co.

We went with Forever Builders, who also did some demo for us when we first moved in. Among other things, we 1) stripped and replaced the floor, 2) demoed the built-in tub and replaced it with a soaking tub, 3) replaced the vanity countertops, 4) installed a chandelier and sconces, and 5) installed a custom shower door. Steve was our project manager for the entire project, which took 3-4 weeks. We are so incredibly pleased with the result, and just as happy with the service and professionalism we received from Steve and his team. Steve managed every aspect of this complex project flawlessly, stopped by frequently to check progress and QC each phase of work, and was consistently responsive and professional. He took my calls on nights and weekends, and I always felt taken care of and valued as an important customer--such a rare occurrence these days. The craftsmanship was flawless too. I am a detail-oriented person and tend to demand perfection, and Forever Builders exceeded my expectations. As a bonus, they also installed a floating vanity for me in a secondary bathroom, as a complimentary part of the project. Since then, I have also asked Steve and Forever Builders to patch up a huge portion of ceiling drywall at my mom's house that was screwed up by another company, and they did an amazing job with that as well. You will not find a more consistently exceptional company. I'm a customer for life.

He is very helpful, responsive and accommodating. Dawn helped coordinate everything from permits and construction to inspection and finalization. He made the process as hand-free for as possible for us. Along the way, Dawn helped us resolve many unforeseen issues and also came up with great creative solutions and suggestions. He was always happy to accommodate any of our requests or feedbacks. We really appreciate his assistance! Our designer team, Ben, Liri and Hodaya, are also great. They came up with beautiful designs for our kitchen and bathrooms based on our preferences. The 3D renders that they made were very helpful in visualizing the designs before we fully committed. They also helped us pick and shop for all materials. Throughout the process, they are very communicative and accommodating. The subcontractors we worked with are all nice and offer good quality work. Dawn did a great job managing and inspecting their work everyday. Unfortunately, we didn't have a good experience with Davozco, the cabinet vendor. Davozco made so many mistakes with our orders.  Notably they shipped us incorrect cabinet door types and refused to replace unless we pay extra. Some brand new cabinets came in with scratches and dings and therefore needed to be replaced. This added substantial delays to our projects. Forever Builders ultimately decided to stop working with Davozco and took all responsibilities/extra expenses to resolve all issues. In construction especially with a big project like ours, we can't expect that everything will go smoothly. We can tell that Dawn and Forever Builders have always tried their best to make sure we are satisfied with everything. Therefore, I recommend Forever Builders if you are looking for a reliable and professional company for your future remodel needs.

Day 1 was dedicated to demolition, with finishing work and cleanup performed on Day 4. Handyman Cal was not selected based solely on price, as their estimate was in the middle of the range of competing bids. The primary factors in our decision were Ivan's willingness to visit our home, speak directly with my wife and me, and refine the cost estimate following his onsite assessment. The overall value was excellent when considering the quality relative to cost, adherence to the promised start and completion dates, protection of furniture and fixtures, and thorough cleanup. Ivan and Sergiy were highly professional and courteous throughout the project. They delivered high-quality workmanship and completed the job within the agreed timeline. During the final quality assurance review, a small amount of paint was observed on the wood trim near the sink. Ivan has kindly agreed to return and correct this minor issue. We are currently planning a bathroom refurbishment and have requested a cost estimate from Ivan and Sergiy for the work. In summary, we are very pleased with the quality of their work and have placed Handyman Cal on our short list of preferred vendors.
