We had an excellent experience with Daniel from Wise Builders on our kitchen remodel. From the…read moreinitial consultation through completion, their team was professional, organized, and easy to work with. Communication was clear and consistent, so we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really stood out -- from the cabinetry and countertops to the finishes and overall layout. The crew was respectful of our home, kept the job site clean, and stayed on schedule as much as possible. Any questions or small adjustments were handled quickly and professionally. The final result exceeded our expectations, and our kitchen looks and functions better than we imagined. We would absolutely recommend Wise Builders to anyone considering a kitchen remodel and would gladly work with them again!

The one bathroom in our 1918 house was in serious need of an upgrade. We chose WISE because they…read morewould hold my hand through the design and build process. All prior interior work in our house had been done by handyman. I really appreciated the communication from our project manager Marc. He created a WhatsApp chat with me and the incredible designer Jocelyn. They were both consistently responsive to any of my questions or concerns -- and opened my mind to design options. Jocelyn spent time in our home, drafted plans, took me shopping, and sourced all the fixtures. From her spreadsheet I was able to find less expensive options for some items. I appreciated the input and control I had on these expenses. Since we needed to move out, I had a tight timeline for the project -- mid October until Thanksgiving. Marc and the team did their best despite City of San Jose delays with inspections. We were able to move back in before the final inspection. Every member of the team was kind and courteous. Marc also did a great job working with the window vendor that specializes in older homes. I'm rating the experience a 4.5 out of 5 for two reasons. I was disappointed that the medicine cabinet, switch plates, and hooks were initially installed unevenly (it was corrected). I expected more attention to detail. And I was disappointed in the wear & tear that happened on my wood floors as well as the overall dust in my dining room. I was warned that things would get dusty -- but didn't understand the extent and would have packed away more things. WISE offers lots of support with design -- they could also offer as part of their package a full cleaning! I offer this feedback to help others calibrate their expectations. Overall it was a positive experience. I waited several months to post this review until I returned from travel and could see how things were settling after regular use. I'm loving the new bathroom and recommend WISE.

We hired Zion, Gabriel and his team from Brother & Brother Builders to remodel our common areas,…read morekitchen, lower bathroom, and master bathroom, including handling all the permitting. Really pleased with how everything turned out! From the start, Zion's quote was more detailed than other contractors we talked to, which gave us a lot of confidence that they truly understood the work involved. The team also worked really well alongside our other third-party contractors and designer, making the whole process feel coordinated and smooth. One thing we really appreciated was how they handled changes along the way. When our requirements shifted, they adapted easily and offered great feedback on ways to simplify our design to save time and money. The team showed up on time each morning, cleaned up before leaving every day, and were always respectful and courteous. They made a point to ask questions and check in to make sure everything was being done to our satisfaction. Their attention to detail showed in the finishing touches, and whenever something wasn't quite right, they were more than willing to fix it. The project finished on schedule and mostly on budget. The final result looks wonderful and the quality is solid (the photos speak for themselves). If you're looking for a reliable team for your remodel, I'd happily recommend Brother & Brother Builders!

Simon at Sasco and his team did a great job on our small commercial building at a fair price…read more We had them replace some large support beams that had dry rot and replace two stairways. They did the work in record time and did such a good job cleaning up after themselves that I almost did not notice they had been there (other than everything looked brand new and freshly painted!) Simon has a masters degree in civil engineering, unlike most of the contractors that I have worked with in the past, and their estimation was very professional and accurate. When they came in on budget, we were thrilled. We are a small 14-owner office condo association, so that was much appreciated! I am sure they can handle very large commercial projects, but we were glad to have their capable group on our smaller project.

I…read morewas surprised that Sasco came in within our budget and timeline, and our friend couldn't come near the price and end date in his quote (!) Simon was great to work with and he gave the project attention to detail that I wouldn't have even thought to look for. If a problem arose, he was quick to get it taken care of. My husband called him even on weekends and off hours when he needed to talk about an aspect of the project, and he was always available. I was confident he had our best interest in mind. We're incredibly pleased with the way our home looks now (on time and at budget) and I've already recommended Sasco to friends! Thanks.

He just replied by saying that I need to send an email and request an appointment through Yelp. I didn't get any response from Yelp. But someone replied to my email asking for my address and phone number. After my reply, they said their only available appointment is a week from now on Thursday 10AM. I replied that it does not work for me. Two days later they responded that their next available appointment is the week after that again on Thursday 10AM! So, it's been now almost 3 weeks that I'm just trying to get an appointment with these guys to come in and get me a quote! I'm sure I can get an appointment from my doctor easier than these guys! I'll pass! Thanks! Edit: After the response below I now realize that I dodged a bullet! Thank god our communication was over the email and everything is recorded. I got your reply on Friday 22nd and responded on the next business day (after the memorial day). Not 6 days later!

We recently completed a full remodel of our home with Aria Build and Construction, including our…read morekitchen, three bathrooms, flooring, paint, cabinets, and more. They worked seamlessly with our designer, followed all drawings to perfection, and delivered exactly what we envisioned. They also coordinated smoothly with all the vendors we had selected for raw materials and even recommended a few vendors themselves--who turned out to be fantastic as well. Aria is fast without ever cutting corners, stuck to the 3-month timeline, and even worked evenings and weekends to stay on schedule. Communication was excellent, always responsive via text and quick to resolve any issues. Pricing was completely transparent with no hidden fees, only fair adjustments when we made changes. We highly recommend Aria Build and Construction for any remodel or renovation. Their quality, professionalism, and reliability are truly outstanding! Special thanks to Homa and Amir from Aria for managing and owning our project!

Initially we were put in contact with Yazan who walked us through the process and showed us some recent ADU's that the company had built. Yazan was very responsive and stayed involved throughout the entirety of the project, helping with cabinetry and other design details along the way. Although we were a bit hesitant on the price at first, when things were all said and done we stayed within budget (as Yazan had promised). There were some minor delays along with the way but the project finished ahead of schedule in just under 5 months. It did take a bit longer than expected to get our permit at the beginning, but once the project started, things moved rather quickly and efficiently. We were particularly impressed with the efficiency of the foundation and framing crew. The structure went up quite quickly. Our project manager Alex was very knowledgeable straightforward. At times he was a bit blunt, but we appreciated the honesty and responsiveness. He always made time to make sure our needs were addressed and our concerns were listened to, with action plans to resolve provided immediately. We are very happy with our new ADU and the experience with VHB overall!!

Chris and his team did everything exactly the way we asked, and we were picky! When we requested changes and modifications, they listened and went the extra mile to deliver what we wanted.

I have lived in the completed ADU for over a year, and we have had no problems come up at all - everything was done so well that we are totally satisfied (and did I mention we are picky?) Great job!

For my bathroom remodel, I hired a company named Eano Home Renovation, which is listed as a General…read moreContractor on Yelp. It turns out that Eano isn't actually the contractor; they hire a contractor to do the work. Lucky for me, they hired Arch General Construction. As I was working with both these companies at the same time, initially it made it confusing to judge who was responsible for what; however, as time went on, I grew to rely on my Arch team. Knowing what I now know, I wish I'd known of Arch and hired them directly for my project. I enjoyed everyone on their team who I worked with. They did great work and I really trusted them. My bathroom turned out better than I could have hoped for. It's like I'm staying at a fancy hotel :) I'm not able to comment about their pricing due to my working through Eano, but it's common sense that anytime you've got a middle person, you're going to pay more. I'm guessing that their pricing is reasonable. A special shout out to their employee CY for his high quality work!

I can't say enough great things about Arch General Construction and the incredible job they did…read moreremodeling my three bathrooms! From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations. Sandy led this remodeling project so professionally. She and her team were incredibly mindful of our time, working flexibly around our busy schedules, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly stood out was how personable the whole team was. They genuinely cared about our vision and made sure we were involved in every aspect of the design whenever our input was needed. They took care of everything, including handling all the city dealings to ensure things ran smoothly, which was a huge relief. We never had to worry about a thing! Sandy, in particular, was amazing. She was so thorough in ordering and double-checking that every part was exactly what we wanted, ensuring both the quality and design matched our vision perfectly. Her attention to detail and willingness to listen made all the difference. Her team led by Tan was so attentive to details and we felt went above and beyond to see everything was done to high standards. I highly recommend Arch General Construction to anyone who values high-quality work, great communication, and a truly dedicated team. I'm beyond thrilled I chose Sandy and her amazing team for this project! I will choose them again, hands down. Also, the best part is the value. We shopped around a lot and their prices are so very reasonable considering the outstanding workmanship they offer. Thank you Sandy and team Arch General Construction!

We hired AE about a year ago but I wanted to wait a while before writing this review. To get to a…read moresteady state so the review could be more objective. In short, we were impressed by the quality of the service and, because we shopped around a bit, found the prices to be reasonable. AE remodeled our old, tired bathroom. Originally, we did not understand that we would be responsible for selecting the materials. But after that sunk in, we did our diligence with the helpful assistance of AE. Jenny was very informative and responsive. She answered our questions, both those that related directly to the bathroom but also those relating more generally to remodeling strategies that arose from our inexperience. What do you think of this material? What do you think about this type of sink in this space? What kind of shower design is best for this concern of mine. Etc. I can't recall an instance where Jenny did not immediately and helpfully respond to email or text. Jenny also proactively made good suggestions. The remodel went well. We really liked the result. We were delayed a bit by the city and permits. But Jenny and her team were always patient and committed. In one instance, the city inspector came back with some surprising feedback. But Jenny and her team with due dedication and versatility adeptly executed on the feedback and made the inspector happy. Anyway, it's been about a year after the remodel. A few small issues came up recently. I contacted Jenny and she sent her team to handle without hesitation. The follow through was very impressive. Jenny will be the first person we call when we're ready to remodel the other bathroom.

They Scratched hardware that we purchased and we had to purchase another set. We spent a week waiting for new shower cartridges because they didn't know what type we should get. I wish our project came with an actual project manager who would tell us what we needed to do and by when. We felt like we had to plan and purchase so many things on our own They stuck this sticky plastic all over our carpet to prevent stains but when it was removed left adhesive residue everywhere and now my carpet is ruined. When I asked how to fix they ignored me. I regret starting this project with them. After this post there is a response from the "business owner" stating they are sorry and then a lengthy set of excuses which equates to a false apology. Bottom line is 1) you scratched up the hardware we gave you 2) we bought all the HW ourselves and asked if we bought the right cartridge. You all said yes. Give the right answer else we waste time. 3) we rejected your attempt to fix the carpet issue because your team had already used a wipe on the carpet and it didn't work. And then you offered to dump vinegar all over to clean it. Of course I'm going to reject that. What other excuses would you like to provide? And tbh you should be concerned whether your customer feels disrespected not your own feelings on the manner which is of opinion. And by the way your contract that we all signed includes a 1 yr warranty. I hope to not use that but your response seems to imply you are going to abandon communications with us which is a legal breach in your own contract.
