After a very satisfactory completion of a previous home addition project, I did not hesitate to…read moreapproach Better Builders for a full kitchen/bathroom/laundry room remodel. Once again, I am very pleased at the outcome. I particularly liked the design/build process which guided me through the many decisions involved in a remodel, made it easy to envision the final result, and ensured that the project remained within budget without surprise add-on expenses. The build process itself went very smoothly with clear scheduling and timelines laid out, and a fantastic project manager who effectively dealt with the inevitable hiccups that occur with any large construction project. I appreciated the quality of the construction and attention to detail. I particularly liked Better Builder's willingness to go the extra mile and make the final product turn out right and according to expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone contemplating a remodeling project.

I started out with what seemed like productive conversations with a sales manager from Better…read moreBuilders to discuss project scope and budget. A designer visited the property to gauge the approximate design budget. I was feeling good about the project and ready to kick off the design process. Then just before signing the design agreement, I got a surprise call from the owner. He told me that the design and construction costs would be significantly higher than what I had discussed with the sales manager. Bizarrely, he made no attempt whatsoever to explain what value Better Builders would provide for the higher cost. He sounded very impatient and had a "take it or leave it" attitude. The whole conversation was very confusing and off-putting, completely out of step with the sales manager's collaborative communication style. I realized I was not comfortable working with a firm that would apply such high-pressure sales tactics. I declined. In retrospect, I'm glad I spoke with the owner before signing and not the sales manager, because I feel like I've dodged a bullet!

They were careful to protect our furniture and cleaned up everything before they left. The finished drywall and texturing looks great. The new walls blend in seamlessly with the existing structure. It's clear that they take great pride in their work and are experts in their craft. ​Overall, we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend them to anyone needing drywall work. They exceeded all our expectations, and we will definitely be using them again for any future projects.

I feel a moral obligation to write this review, given the stellar reviews…read more I waited a bit to review, because I wanted to make sure I had as much information as possible before writing it. I hired the team to hang and tape/mud about 1000 sqft of drywall. I had a number of quotes, and Solution DryTex was one of the higher ones, but still within reason. I went with them because of their responsiveness and friendliness. I fired them part way through the work. I had six other drywall companies out to inspect their work - all six said it was unacceptably poor - four of them said to tear it out and start over. As they started hanging, they were doing an alright job, though slightly messier than I would've liked. As they continued, they did a few things that were absolutely unacceptable: - Extensive over-driven screws, which means the drywall will not hold well - Breaks in drywall not directly over a stud/joist, which means the drywall will flex and crack - Extremely poor shimming, meaning the drywall will be crooked - Random pieces of trash sitting behind drywall, meaning the drywall wasn't sitting level - Unnecessary breaks in drywall, which will cause more visual imperfections. - Completely crooked pieces that won't be able to made to look good, no matter the amount of mud I brought up some of these concerns, and they attempted to fix them. The fixes were wholly inadequate. Before I had a chance to circle back with regards to those fixes, they begun taping. After I saw their taping work, I promptly fired them. The taping work contained a number of major problems: - Prefill huge gaps using premixed mud, which will take weeks to dry (if ever) - Mud all over my brand new windows - Bubbled tape that won't be able to be hidden - Globs of mud used to fill an inch wide gap - Corner beads with large curves in them I messaged them repeatedly, telling them they needed to return my money, given the fact that I was going to have to redo all of their work, and they wasted thousands of dollars in material. I received no responses. The team is very nice - they're a pleasure to be around. But no amount of kindness makes up for the fact that they have no idea what they're doing. I don't feel particularly good about leaving this review, but I think it's the right thing to do - I don't want them to take advantage of others like they took advantage of me. EDIT: In response to the owner: Scope of work: Correct, the work was interrupted before it was finished. This was after trying to get poor work corrected. I have also verified with six independent teams that the quality of the work was not such that it could be made to look good and last. Site conditions: Regarding framing, the team came out ahead of the project and spent quite a while measuring. If the framing was not acceptable, then that would've been the time to say so. Client collaboration: Now you're just being strictly dishonest, because moving the cabinets was explicitly included in the agreement. And you used _one_ sheet of drywall, mostly because you used the 1/2 drywall in the wrong places and needed to make up for that fact. Quality of work and adjustments: The work was so far from professional that it could not be adequately adjusted. I have verified this with SIX different companies, to make sure I'm being reasonable in my assessment. Track record: I can't speak to this. All I know is my experience.

Home Care Contractors not only repaired all of the damage, but also created beautiful, comfortable, livable spaces, and they managed to do it smoothly and quickly.

Few contractors are willing to take on an unfinished job someone else has botched, but Paul was "excited by the challenge". We hired him on the spot. The next day, his crew cleared all dirt and debris from the neighbor's yard that contractor #1 left for 6 months while blaming another company. We were so glad to have Paul and his energetic and happy crew go to work! He fully excavated after building a safety wall and mono-poured the entire foundation in one day! Our friends came to admire his work and tell us how good it was. (our friends used to work for the city planning department, so they know what they're talking about!). Come see Aurora Design upstairs after October 7th, 2024.

PROS: Anna was helpful in guiding us through the process, contacting and scheduling other contractors, and helping us through the permitting process. She was also helpful with suggesting design ideas that we ultimately really liked! Julio and his team were very friendly, skilled and for the most part courteous. We really love the final outcome of our dining room and the quality of the workmanship of our deck. CONS: the refinishing of our hardwood floors wasn't the most detailed. As you can see in the photos sanding was missed on the edges. The floor looks better than before, but it's not exactly what we had hoped for. There was some debris left over after the project was completed that we had to take care of, the worst being urine-filled water bottles which was a bit disgusting. It was also discovered after the project was completed and after they left there were personal items of ours that were thrown away, property damage, and our outdoor water faucet was left running which ended up being an increase of about $200 to our water bill. Overall costing us hundreds of dollars out of pocket. We have tried to communicate with Anna about some sort of rectification with no success. Although we do love our dining room and deck, I can't in good consciousness recommend DreamForge Contractors.
