We recently completed a handful of projects with MDesign and couldn't be happier with the results…read more From initial design to the final touches, the entire process was a pleasure. And I hold a high bar! Mila was incredibly adept at bringing our vision to life -- she took my inspiration photos, style descriptions, and feedback on visual renders, and turned them into show-stopping, custom pieces. She was exceptionally patient through numerous design iterations, never making us feel rushed and genuinely wanting us to love the plan before construction began. Her 3D renders were invaluable, as I really needed that visual clarity to make decisions. She is the ultimate design partner-in-crime! The construction crew was equally impressive. They were reliable, patient, courteous, attentive to detail, and highly skilled. We also really appreciated Ben & Mila's client advocacy. Whenever issues arose or price negotiations were needed, they stepped in and advocated for us, demonstrating ownership of the project from start to finish. It gave us immense peace of mind knowing they had our backs. We highly recommend MDesign!

I did my thorough research and decided to contract with MDesign to remodel our home. Before I sing…read moretheir very impressive praises, you might want to take a peek at our photos that we took on our own; without using a professional photographer. Upon interviewing Mila and Ben, MDesign owners, without hesitation we went into contract. They offer comprehensive services under one umbrella. We didn't have to look for a separate contractor, interior designer, or painters, etc. We didn't have the time or energy to do all that work. There are other companies that require so much work on your part that we dismissed them quickly. The big question is always how good are the laborers that are actually going to do the work. Well, they are amazing and extremely hard working, very talented, and professional. They never hesitated to walk the extra mile for us, when we asked. I just can't highly recommend MDesign enough. Do yourself a favor and save yourself time in not hesitating to hire MDesign. BTW, they're also very easy to work with and make you their top priority. Enjoy our photos!

I called and left a message for Steve at Tri-Valley Construction, (TVC), regarding a defective…read more1/4-turn water supply line valve that needed to be replaced in our laundry room. This involved removing sheetrock, cutting pipes, installing new valves, then replacing the sheetrock, applying plaster and texture, and finally painting. This was way above my pay grade, so I reached out to Steve. Within minutes, he got back to me. He asked for photos and provided an estimate with a range, depending on the complexity of what they found. Steve sent his crew over just a few hours later to begin the project. Victor and Edgar arrived, and within minutes, the Sawzall was going to town on our wall. I'll admit, I had my reservations, but it quickly became clear that these guys knew what they were doing. Each phase required a return visit to allow the individual coats of plaster to dry, etc. Our water was only turned off for about an hour or so during the entire project, and the finished product was very good. We're now considering TVC for other projects. I would not hesitate to recommend them!

I am writing to highly recommend Stephen Dickinson and the team at Tri-Valley Construction…read more From start to finish, Stephen proved to be an incredibly wonderful and helpful contractor to work with. What sets him apart is his deep expert knowledge; he doesn't just execute a task--he takes the time to explain the 'why' behind his process, ensuring the job is done right the first time. His professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond made a significant difference in our project. If you are looking for a contractor in the Tri-Valley area who is reliable, skilled, and genuinely invested in his clients' satisfaction, look no further than Stephen.

While I was initially very satisfied with George's work, unfortunately a serious flaw revealed…read moreitself after about a year. The tile beneath the shower door was not installed correctly, and this led to water slowly leaking into the baseboard anytime we used the shower. After a year, mold and mildew began to rapidly grow. After getting a consultation, the conclusion was that since the tile was not installed correctly, water did not drain from the surface properly, leading to the damage you see pictured here. I reached out to George, as our contract stated that he would fix any issues resulting from his work within 4 years after completion of the original project. Thankfully, he agreed to fix the issue after inspecting the problem in person. If George had simply fixed the tile right after his inspection, I would have no need to update this review. But unfortunately, what happened next is why I need to lower my rating. After George had agreed to fix his work, it took over 1 year to get him to come back to my home and fix it. I would send him multiple emails, texts, and phone calls trying to schedule time for him to come fix the shower. He would ignore the messages for weeks on end. And when he did respond, it would be to tell me that he was traveling, or was not available at my suggested times. When I finally managed to get time with him, he would make many comments about how he felt like the issue wasn't really his fault and that he just wanted to get done ASAP. He gave me the impression that he didn't want to make things right, but that he just wanted to fulfill his contractual obligation and be done. I did not feel like a priority to him, and it was likely because there was no money to be gained from fixing his mistake. George's fix unfortunately led to another issue. Our baseboard was replaced, and the tile was adjusted. However, since the tile needed to be adjusted at an incline to allow the water to drain, the positioning of the shower glass needed to be shifted up to give it space to open. The shower door is now misaligned with the other side of the glass. An issue that can't be fixed unless we buy a whole new shower glass door. While I am still very appreciative of George's original work, I will likely need to make significant updates to this bathroom in the future. And I will not be using GT General Contractor this time around.

Being a Realtor in the Fremont area I was fortunate to have represented a client who had several…read moreproperties in the area he wanted to sell. All were outdated and so the plan was to upgrade each property then bring them to market one at a time. It was my job to find an honest, knowledgeable, reliable General Contractor. I had interviewed several. I chose to work with George and GT General Contractor. His knowledge of the Local Building Codes stood out to me. He also had reasonable pricing. Together we worked out a contract where I would determine the upgrades, select and purchase appliances, fixtures, flooring and all major materials on behalf of my client and George would provide the minor materials and bring our vision to life. If it didn't work I could let George and GT General Contractors go and find another Contractor. It did work though. George was patient, his knowledge kept us out of trouble with the local code enforcement, He had the vision and the skillset to turn a blank canvas into something beautiful. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it was all Unicorns and rainbows, it wasn't. Every time a roadblock was in our path, George never lost focus of our final objective. So when we did pull up carpet and exposed some rotting of the subfloor or removed a section of drywall only to find some termite damage, an amendment to the original contract was created and on we went. After each house was completed I would list it on the market and every one brought a new "Highest Sale" in their neighborhood. That made me look good in my clients eyes. George and I did this 5 times over and I consider him a friend. I highly recommend George and GT Contractors if you are considering a remodel. I have since moved on from my real estate career but before I did I had sold my personal residence and who did I have help me remodel it? You guessed it. George and GT Contractors.

Beautiful Bathroom Remodel - Great Experience from Start to Finish…read more This was our first home remodeling project, so we really didn't know what to expect. From the design phase all the way to the final inspection, the entire process was smooth and easy. Tony and his crew did an excellent job and paid close attention to every detail during construction. I was also worried about the mess and dust that usually comes with remodeling, but they were very careful and cleaned everything at the end of each day, which we really appreciated. Thank you Joseph and Avi for coordinating everything so well. We absolutely love our new bathroom!

Construction & More recently completed a full home renovation for my home in Fremont. From…read morebeginning to end, our points of contact, Avi & Joseph have gone above and beyond for our project, walking us through the planning phases, permitting, design, construction and finishing work of the renovation. They were able to make a normally very stressful process almost stress-free, so much so that all I had to do was say "yes or no" when it came to key decisions. The Construction & More team took lead in the painful parts of dealing with permitting, PG&E, and subcontractors. They also got us in contact with their preferred vendors to help us with discounts on appliances, finishes and other materials we needed to purchase out of pocket. Overall, I found the Construction & More team extremely professional, transparent, organized, communicative and punctual when it came to the end-to-end process. They truly helped guide us through the process so we didn't have any surprises and helped us navigate any hiccups that came up. Normally, construction companies get a bad rap of being dishonest and trying to add in hidden fees and such, but Construction & More is a truly forthcoming and hardworking group of contractors who have your best interest at heart when it comes to your project no matter how big or small. For the process itself, we began with a consultation at our home to walk through the work we wanted the Construction & More team to do. For us, it was a full renovation which included removing a kitchen wall to create an open concept kitchen & living room, adding a mud room, expanding the master bedroom, moving the front and garage doors, as well as moving the ceilings to create a more open space. After the consultation was completed, we met with Avi & Joseph at their office to discuss an estimate and timeline for the work we needed done about (6-months time, pending no delays). Avi & Joseph respected our budget and were upfront and honest of how to stay within the budget and what were non-negotiables that we needed to get done. They really helped us understand what work was critical and what were nice to have to make our living space better. Once we agreed on the work, they promptly sent over a contract for signature, created a whatsapp group for real time communication, and next steps. Overall this initial process took about a week after negotiations and contract reviews. Once construction began, the team coordinated all the work. They made sure that all moving parts were well executed while setting a realistic timeline for the work to be done. All the subcontractors and tradesmen were effectively scheduled, where there wasn't a single day where there was no work being done. I felt that the team ensured that the construction was moving swiftly and the crew was respectful of our space. The crew made sure that our home was properly locked up and cleaned up after each day's work. Additionally, all the detailed finishing work was measured and completed with precision, where all the tiles placed were measured with a laser. As a bonus, the crew was also super respectful to our neighbors which is an extra plus! If you're considering a renovation of any size, but especially a full home renovation, I could not rave more about Construction & More. Their expertise, professionalism, thoroughness and transparency really sets them apart from the competition. I'm extremely grateful and happy with the outcome of our renovation! Good work guys!!

When meeting Todd for the first time, I was very sure this is the contractor to do the job. He is knowledgeable, and has a warm and caring attitude for your project to be completed with the vision you imagined. This did not digress during the entire project. Communication was great too. I knew who was going to show up at my house each morning. As a homeowner, there are always concerns, and they were explained in a clear and timely manner. Were mistakes made? Yes, and fortunately they were minor, but they took responsibility, no excuses. Once walls were taken down, yes surprises did occur. Todd explained thoroughly what the best options were to resolve the issue. TS Contraction's crew also takes the same approach. No matter what trade is working on your project, their aim is to do the job right, and are willing to explain the process to you. I recommend TS Construction 100%. They are trustworthy, talented, and get the job done right.

Extremely Poor Experience - Lack of Accountability and Misrepresentation…read more We were assigned AMS by our HOA to repair extensive damage to our living room and kitchen caused by a major water leak from a common pipe. Unfortunately, working with AMS has been a nightmare. Our home has been left in a broken, partially demolished state for over six months with no meaningful progress. AMS consistently hides behind "contract terms" and "processes," yet fails to follow through on their own commitments. Timelines are repeatedly pushed with vague or fabricated explanations, and every promised start date has come and gone without action. For more than three months, we were explicitly told that materials were being procured. When it became clear that no materials had actually been ordered and we questioned the misinformation, the response was simply, "the past is past." This complete lack of accountability was shocking. Whenever we ask direct and reasonable questions, AMS redirects us to the HOA instead of answering--using this as an escape mechanism. At the same time, they provide the HOA with inaccurate or misleading updates to justify ongoing delays, creating conflicting narratives and leaving the homeowner stuck in the middle. Living in a damaged home for this long has caused significant stress, disruption, and financial burden. Communication has been poor, commitments have not been honored, and transparency has been completely lacking. Based on our experience, I would strongly advise against working with AMS, especially for time-sensitive or homeowner-impacting repairs. Accountability, honesty, and basic project management are severely lacking.
