“Hi :) my name is Annabelle and we are from Sunnyvale California, I just finished a new renovation, and I would like to share with you guys my wonderful experience, we started the process with a lot of fears because of previous experience that we had with another contractor two years ago, from the first meeting with Asi, me and my husband felt the honesty and integrity right away, we describe to her what we would like to achieve in our kitchen remodeling project and together with ideas that came from her designer we decided on the final layout, We needed a new kitchen renovation for our home ASAP, we are all working from home, my husband and I and our older daughter, and the kitchen became much more important, it was very surprising but we succeeded to pass all the inspections on time, The communication part was great, personally I preferred to communicate with Asi directly but they are working with a personal online portal that some people will find useful, we needed a few times that Asi will come to us to discuss on a few changes and we always felt comfortable to share with her our concerns and ideas, and eventually we are very satisfied from the end result!”

“Once again the experience was phenomenal! We have used 1st Choice Builders before for our current home and because of the excellent experience hired them again for 2 rental units that needed some renovations. Not only do they come in with the knowledge of the tactical elements to complete the job, but with 1st Choice Builders you receive so much more. As with any home project, there are always situations that arise that need some strategic solutions. 1st Choice Builders's master carpentry team are amazing! They can easily resolve any issue that appears to be complicated and to you the customer, makes it appear a)so minor and b)totally reduces any anxiety you may have. The other benefit to 1st choice builders is their extensive list of building suppliers for items needed. In addition, their master plumbers, electricians and HVAC to name a few are top notch. I see how this company has been in business for over 10 years based on their attentiveness to the customer - always responding quickly! As well their staff retention is high which speaks volumes to a business. We have referred them to a half dozen friends and neighbors - all who have been happy as well! 1st choice builders is like working with a friend!”

“We planned a big project at first, and then the budget changed, so our plans had to change. California Construction was understanding, responsive, and stayed on schedule for the revised remodel. Excellent work!”

“In 2011, Zayer Quality Construction did a major remodel of our 35 year old house in San Jose. Areas remodeled include: Kitchen, Family Room, Front Entry Hall, Dining Room, and Living Room. The kitchen was a total gut job to the studs. Walls were removed to create a more open area, one of them load bearing. In preparation for the remodel, Ed assisted with material selection. Before the job started, he met with us at a number of material suppliers to help us select the following: Tile, Floor, Moldings, Windows... Ed does not run multiple jobs concurrently. Ed, his staff, and subcontractors were on time every day. The overall job went very smoothly. It is beneficial to have all major material selections completed before the start of demolition. Once demolition starts, the job moves very quickly. The kitchen started out as a U shape with peninsula. We wanted an L shape with an island. I did the preliminary CAD work laying out our proposed kitchen. Ed brought in his designer to help us with the details. She provided very good advice in many areas and generated the final set of drawings for the kitchen and bar areas. For the cabinetry, we did not want factory built cabinets. We wanted full custom cabinets. This gave us great flexibility in the design. Ed had connections with a local cabinet shop that did an excellent job building, finishing, and installing the cabinets. The granite counter top measuring and installation went very smoothly and on schedule. For electrical work, there were a number of major improvements. We greatly expanded the number of separate circuits coming into the house so every major appliance has its own breaker. We also have two GFI protected 20A circuits for the kitchen outlets. We were early adopters of LED recessed lighting. Ed and his crew did an excellent job with light placement and lighting control. LED pendant lights were used over the island. Some aluminum wire was removed and replaced with copper. No more overloaded circuits. An outdoor outlet was also added for our patio area. The house is much safer now compared to what it was. Gas was plumbed to the stove area, as we wanted a Gas cook top with an electric oven. Hardwood flooring was installed in the remodeled areas. As with any job this size, you will run into some unexpected situations. When we were replacing the 8' sliding door, we found the framed opening was under size for the new door. Ed quickly responded with a proper re-framing of the door opening with a new longer header. As the job was coming to completion, Ed's crew did a very nice job of Texturing, Crown Molds, Case Molds, Baseboards, and Painting. As customers go, I am probably a little more difficult than others for contractors. I am an engineer with some building experience and in some areas have some pretty tough requirements. Ed was able to work with me and propose solutions that met or exceeded requirements. Overall, the wife and I are very happy with the outcome of our remodel project. As our friends came over to see the results of the remodel, we got many "Wows". We will probably be re-engaging with Ed for future projects.”

“Great experience, high value, very reliable and best crew we ever worked with. Mayer’s construction did a home remodeling for us during the last 6 months. It has been a big home remodel for us that took design and build as well. After months spending finding the right company for us, we have choose to work with Mike & Nathan Mayer from Mayer’s construction. A week after finalizing contract we started working with Su & Luis both company’s architect and engineer. We worked on the new plans we agreed and wanted at first and started to have architect drawings ready, when we got into engineering process, both Mayer’s construction and us didn’t know we were suppose to redone so much of the existing footings and reinforce of additional walls as 20 years ago we did a 2nd story addition that was probably made poorly and unprofessional. They were extremely kind and helpful and kept the price as we agreed on and didn’t changed a thing. The plan process and measurements took about a month or so, and finally we were able to submit the plans to the city of San Jose. After getting the permits done and job card set ( overall 5 months of waiting / SJ is a pretty busy city) we got into work schedule and been ready to move out as the entire home going to be demolished. Mike was very organized both managing and scheduling the team, rough materials arrivals, and to us to be fully briefed with details and what we need and when. The process of work was great and on timeline , city did changed a lot during this time period with their inspection delays but it didn’t interrupt with our schedule or timeline due to great management ahead. We just finished our work and we absolutely in love with our new home! New flooring throughout, new kitchen, new bathrooms, complete open floor plan, new stair case, new rooms reconfigured, new paint, new texture, new windows and sliding doors throughout, all new plumbing and electrical. A brand new and beautiful home we got thanks to Mayer’s construction and the team, Mike, Nathan, Raul, Jose and many more who had a added value and did this work absolute best.”

“I can't say many wonderful things about Green California Builders. I wanted to built a new home and had no idea where to start in regards to design and construction permits. I heard about these guys because of my friend. I met EZ (the main project manager) after scheduling the appointment. He guided us through the entire process with ideas, advises and material selection. I liked his vision and we agree on the budget. Few days later the project started. After few months, we now have a wonderful new house. I'm so grateful to choose these guys and I recommended them 100%!!!”

“SOD Builders did a complete home renovation for us (new kitchen, new laundry room, new floors and carpets, interior & exterior paint, electrical re-wire, plumbing, new doors, the works). The end product is beautiful, well-constructed, and they were a pleasure to work with. Very professional, very responsive and trustworthy. We look forward to working with them in the future!”

“First they came and give us an estimate that we really liked, we signed the contract to do the kitchen floors. Before they started the job I ask them to give me a price for the complete kitchen remodeling. again we liked the price and we signed the contract (BTW they helped us with financing the job). during the process we found out the electrical wiring needs to be replaced mike gave us very good price on that so we let them do it. they also gave us 3D design rendering that was great, we actually could see how the kitchen will look like.. Roy Mike and the team where very helpful they answered all of our concerns and even when we change things around they where very understanding and helped us to make our dream come true. we where very impressed when all city inspection pass at the first time. we love how our kitchen came out, it looks amazing like it came out of a catalog, its like living in a mention. we will use Baron construction again to do our roof in the in the near future. they did exactly what they promise and above. we are extremely happy that we choose Baron construction and remodeling to do our kitchen.”

“My kitchen now looks beautiful and new again, I hired HomeTech to remodeled my kitchen counter tops and my faucet, they were very helpful and got the work done professionally and fast, they even replaced a piece of wood that the pipe with a leak got very wet and humid. The communication with them was very fast and convenient. I am a very curios person so I asked several questions and they were very open to answered them all. Very satisfied and happy with my new kitchen.”
