We interviewed a lot of contractors before choosing Neev Kugel of Oasis Builders, and looking back,…read moreit wasn't even close. He was the only one who gave us a real timeline and budget and then actually held to both -- no excuses, no creeping costs, no moving goalposts. Our timeline was tight and we had several builds going on simultaneously which led to a lot of parallel work requiring tight coordination on Neev's crew. Every time something went wrong, Neev was already working on a fix before we even had to ask. He talked to us like a partner, not a vendor -- texted and called back fast, explained things honestly, never let us feel like we were in the dark. Honestly, at some point he stopped feeling like "our contractor" and started feeling like family. He and his team showed up on their days off, unprompted, because they wanted to see us in our house sooner. I don't know many people who'd do that. Walking through our home now, some of our favorite features are things Neev's team built. Neev's wife, Mai, who has a background in interior design, worked closely with us on the finishing touches, and that collaboration is a big part of why the house feels the way it does.

My parents moved to Los Angeles last year to be closer to family, and we hired Oasis Builders to…read moreremodel the home they purchased. The house had a very closed-off layout, and our goal was to open it up, improve the flow, and make it feel more connected and functional for everyday living. We met with a number of contractors before moving forward, but Neev and Mai stood out immediately. They brought a level of thoughtfulness, care, and attention to detail that we didn't see elsewhere. More importantly, they really listened. It never felt like we were being pushed into a one-size-fits-all solution. They took the time to understand what mattered to us and approached the project with a clear sense of intention. Throughout the process, communication was consistent and transparent, and we always felt like we were in good hands. They also handled important upgrades behind the scenes that gave us real peace of mind, not just the visual improvements. You can tell they care about doing things the right way. Of course, like any remodel, there were moments where unexpected things came up. What really set them apart was how they handled those situations. They were calm, responsive, and solution-oriented. That level of professionalism made a big difference for us. We're honestly thrilled with how everything turned out. The house feels completely transformed. It is now open, warm, and truly enjoyable to live in. It's even better than we had imagined, and my parents couldn't be happier. We're very grateful we chose Oasis Builders and would absolutely recommend Neev, Mai, and their team to anyone considering a remodel.

He…read morewas great to work with, he had great ideas and was always available to go over any questions I had. Initially we hired him to paint our home and to replace a number of rotting fascia boards. He also helped me select a beautiful front door to update the look of our home, as well as replace an exterior side door and repainted and changed the hardware of our kitchen/garage fire door. When we had issues with some of the work done, Gabriel was right on it to make sure it was taken care of immediately. This type of attention is not always given with other people we've dealt with before. Gabe takes pride in his company to do an excellent job for his clients. After a month and a half since the job was completed, Gabe came over to assess the job, after we had a week of steady rain, to make sure we didn't have any other questions for him. We would definitely recommend him and his company to do a great job!

I interviewed and accepted bids from nine kitchen contractors and Yoti & Rona Home Remodeling was,…read moreby far, the best and right choice. He wasn't the most or least expensive, but beyond the reasonable price, his understanding of the job was most important and above all others. My kitchen project was a combination of refacing, remodeling, and reworking, and from the start, we knew it wasn't going to be an easy, plug-and-play job. My house is a custom-built masterpiece, in which the architect/builder designed and constructed it himself, to his own personal needs and specs, which, regarding the kitchen, meant the 33 cabinets and drawers were of various, non-standard, sizes and dimensions. Yoti appreciated the artistic individuality, understood the scope of working in that environment, and navigated the entire process very well. There were some hurdles that were expected, as well as some unexpected surprises along the way, but contrary to every other contractor I have ever worked with, Yoti not only did not hold me hostage, but worked with me to find the best solution, and then rectified it until I was happy. My experience working with Yoti & Rona Home Remodeling was nothing short of fantastic and the end result was very rewarding. When it's time for the next job, Yoti will be my first and only call.

Rona Home Remodeling was the third quote I received on a small bathroom remodel. They were not the…read morecheapest but they did seem to be the most honest and upfront. I was provided a clear outline of budget and costs. As far as communication- Yoti and Noam are great leads. Yoti is constantly keeping you updated on the status of the project. Noam is open to ideas and willing to try alternative ideas and pivot. Their crews are professional and friendly taking care to properly keep the project area and working spaces clean. Big plus they didn't leave us hanging and disappearing for days. The project was finished in the detailed amount of time. We were actually the hold up as Ferguson didn't have a final piece for us. I plan to 100% use Rona remodeling again in our next project.

I was cold called & let know about a…read morestate run weatherization assistance program I qualified for, upgrades to energy-saving appliances like new windows/seals. Salespersons David K. & Leo Mikael came over to my home, talked me into signing a contract I didn't want & then helped me to apply for a state(?) loan that I definitely did not want. When I got an email telling me I was not approved for the loan I was confused & shocked. Of course I wouldn't be approved, I didn't want to apply in the first place! Wtf?! To top it off, they went into my bedroom & spray painted all over my windows. It stank so badly for hours after, I needed to clear my pets out & scrub it all off with alcohol. I got worried I may have been marked as a target for robbery. It was so unacceptable. I called PG&E after they left to verify their identify & PG&E had never heard of Unique Home Remodeling. PG&E made clear to me that you are not one of the partnered contractors for their state assisted weatherization program & the state funded program is completely free. The sales persons were very pushy & kept asking me for almost $500 to get started. These two sales people tried to scam me!! I put my accounts on red flag holds following this interaction. I'll be staying very far away, to be safe, and warning my neighbors. I hope that if these people are in fact working with your company they are retrained immediately. This was a very unusual, totally inappropriate interaction.

As first-time…read morerenovators, we were understandably nervous, but they guided us through every detail with patience, expertise, and care. They completed a full gut renovation of our primary bathroom and a renovation of our guest bath, and the results exceeded our expectations. The tile work is absolutely gorgeous, the attention to detail is next level, and the job site was kept impeccably clean--which was especially important since my partner and I were living in the house with our dogs throughout the project. That level of thoughtfulness made a huge difference. Baldo was amazing at problem-solving and offering smart ideas and workarounds, especially given the surprises that come with an older home (ours was built in 1977). Michael was equally outstanding--always diligent, responsive, and proactive in addressing any questions or concerns I had along the way. We were so happy with their work that we've already had them back to update our kitchen with new backsplash and tile work, as well as an outdoor bar. I can't recommend Bela Development highly enough. Skilled, trustworthy, and a true pleasure to work with from start to finish.

I had a very specific "feel" for what I wanted, and given that it was both colorful and historic (I love art deco), I needed help in finding a way to make it all work without going too far. Neela was perfect. She understood exactly what I wanted, and was so on board with me. She helped me realize the exact level of historic vs modern that made my dream kitchen a reality. She was also fantastic in guiding me to the use of color in the house without making it too much, which I so appreciated. Overall, I just really appreciated having her expert eye and advice in general in making large and small decisions, she always made me feel confident. She was a great go between for my contractors as well, always guiding them to the best way to achieve something. I honestly could not have done this remodel without her, and I am beyond pleased with the end result she helped me create. I would absolutely work with her again, and in fact, I would not even consider doing any more redecorating or remodeling without bringing her on board to help me.

Project - Full gut, small kitchen remodel with demolition, floor replacement From start to finish, HIC Builders has been easy to work with and has constantly shown me their great work ethics. I found them on a work project app and after submitting my details, someone contacted me asap and I was able to get a consult that very week. I had something come up a couple days before and they were very flexible when rescheduling. On the day of the consultation, I met Liz and I knew the moment I met Liz, she was going to be the one. She's friendly, positive, and most importantly, knowledgeable. Liz was actually my last consult of the day and she brought up a lot of different things that the other companies did not, so I decided to trust HIC. I'm not sure if 3D rendering is used in every single project, but for our kitchen remodel, it was so awesome and reassuring to see everything put together prior to them committing to building all of the cabinetry. Their designer was super cool and she did everything on the spot within 2 hours! So, so talented. I appreciate their price transparency. While I do think it was still quite pricey, after doing some research, the price I paid for a full-gut, semi-custom cabinets with brand new everything, was pretty average. Any time something came up, Liz was ready with a quote and definitely came up with many plans to accommodate my budget. The project moved along very quickly with everything being done in a span about 2 months. It would've been done sooner, but we did have a couple issues come up (brought to my attention and resolved very quickly), so it delayed the progress about two weeks... and I spent a whole week debating on things too in the beginning, so it definitely would've been done a lot sooner! Also, if Liz ever suggests you anything and it's within your budget, DO IT! I kept hesitating and it always went back to me going with what she suggested and being over-the-moon happy about it because she just KNOWS what you want as a client. She has held my hand throughout this entire process and truly made this renovation experience less stressful. I will wholeheartedly be recommending HIC Builders to my friends and family.
