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!

I hired Prime to renovate my kitchen - countertops, backsplash, cabinets, electrical, freezer, etc…read more They also helped install a new bidet toilet for me. Overall the experience was very good; Elijah and Bryan were super friendly and responsive. Eli was very patient and accommodating as we discussed several different potential change orders, from new windows to painting, to other misc. things that popped up. Bryan Luna was especially a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail and proactivity to solve any little thing I mentioned was definitely the highlight of working with Prime. Their contracted electrician, Hector, was great as well. I also think they did a great job building out a cabinet to fit our freezer next to the matching fridge. Their master carpenter managed to salvage our existing wood to make it match perfectly. Definitely better than what I'd expect from even a carpentry specialty contractor. I will mention that it wasn't without some snags. Prime deals in volume so they're very busy. I think because I had delays in sourcing a freezer I ended up not getting a dedicated project manager for some time. We had timeline issues made worse with holidays. This caused cascading delays which inevitably pushed back my move in date a few weeks. When I finally did get a new project manager, they ghosted me (later on I found out they had a family emergency). Eli had to step in again to help. Another thing is that their pricing is quite opaque. The estimate will break down prices by milestones, but they repeated told me that it's not a valuation of the milestone itself. This made it nigh impossible to understand if I wanted to contract out specific pieces of the project (e.g. flooring). Design was OK. I felt that the designer was very busy. Sometimes very responsive (5min replies), sometimes not responsive at all (no reply). I wish I had a better, more thorough back-and-forth session about the intricacies of the design. But we made do. Ultimately, the designer made a render and helped point us to some vendors, but from there we had to make our own selection alone (cabinets, handles, pendant lights, faucets, etc.). I did appreciate her presence when we picked out countertops, though. All in all, I think this was a 4.5 star job, but I'm rounding to 5 because of Eli and Bryan :)

We contracted Prime Design & Build to remodel two bathrooms, a laundry room, a staircase, and to…read moreinstall hardwood flooring. Overall, the project went well, and we're happy with the final results. Bryan, our foreman, was a strong asset to the project. Even though he was managing multiple jobs at the same time, his responsiveness and willingness to go out of his way to address our concerns made a big difference. Because we were home throughout the process, we were able to catch issues early and communicate them directly to Bryan, who consistently followed through to resolve them. What Went Well: * The tile and flooring subcontractors were excellent - their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stood out. * Bryan, our foreman, was responsive to texts and phone calls, listened to our concerns, and made sure they were addressed. He even designed a bi-fold closet door for us, and helped pick up all the material to build it. * Bryan also took the initiative to handle several unfinished items himself, which we really appreciated. * The post-build cleaners were top-notch and left the space in pristine condition. * Throughout the project, everyone we interacted with was professional, courteous, and conscientious. There were no conflicts or issues, which made the experience comfortable for us. Areas for Improvement: * The timeline was a pain point. While we were originally told the project would take 6-8 weeks, it ended up stretching to 12 weeks. * The design process fell short of expectations. Because Prime's in-house designers weren't available, our design work was outsourced. We only received a full design package for the master bathroom. As a result, we ended up creating our own renderings for the other rooms to help communicate our vision to the team. That said, we were very happy with the design and material selections for the master bathroom they did complete. We just wish the same level of attention and design support had been provided for the rest of the project. * At times, resource availability was limited, likely due to workers being assigned to multiple jobs. This led to workflow inefficiencies and delays. Toward the end of our renovation, our foreman Bryan had to personally step in to complete several tasks, such as installing faucets, shelving, and baseboards. He managed to get it done in between site visits and meetings, which we appreciated, but it also highlighted a lack of available crew to close out the project. Despite these few challenges, the quality of the work met our expectations. We appreciated the team's effort and the final outcome.

I would highly recommend Elya as project manager and Golden View renovations.We recently completed…read morea major home renovation project with Elya from Golden View, which involved extending a bedroom into the front porch area and adding a new bathroom within that expanded space. Elya provided a comprehensive and detailed walk-through of the entire project plan upfront. This significant undertaking included foundation work, extensive structural modifications for the new roof and walls, electrical work, painting, and all the final finishes. Golden View quickly prepared the architectural diagrams and designs for the new bathroom, which were presented to us for feedback and were exceptionally well-made. Once the designs were finalized, all materials were promptly ordered and secured, and the plan was submitted to the city for permits. Elya diligently followed up with city authorities and provided regular updates, ensuring the necessary approvals were obtained efficiently. As busy professionals with young children, we are extremely pleased we chose Elya as the project manager. Their exceptional management ensured everything was well-planned, organized, and communicated regularly. The pace of the actual construction was notably faster than we had estimated. We were initially expecting the project to take around six months, but it was completed in just four months--a remarkable achievement in timeline management. This was very critical factor for us right from the begining. The quality of the work and the process itself were both excellent. We continued to live in the house during the renovation, and Elya's team maintained continuous checkpoints at various stages, meaning there were absolutely no major surprises. Any minor issues that arose were addressed immediately. Furthermore, the work site was consistently kept safe and isolated, which was a primary concern for us having two younger children. We always received advance notice about what work was scheduled and if any input was needed from us, allowing us to plan our days accordingly. We highly recommend Elya as a project manager and Golden View Renovations for their professionalism, quality of work, and ability to deliver a complex project significantly ahead of schedule.

Sal is the CEO and also our PM for our bathroom remodeling project. I talked to 3 contractors and…read morefinally decided on them. On the first consultation visit, Sal came in totally hands on. He pulled out his measuring tape and started to show me what he noticed on the dimensions and how everything works when they are rebuilt, such as how the floor will be connected between tiles in the bathroom to the wood floor in the hallway. His attention to details and the down to earth style won our decision. We spent 3 weeks on the master bathroom, passed inspections, then due to the contractor lead's personal business, we took a 2 weeks break, and then resumed remodeling for the guest bathroom for another 3 weeks. Inspections were all scheduled ahead of time and each time was passed with ease. Things were setup step by step and Sal was very on top of any issues as we had a Whatsapp group to discuss issues instantaneously. Sal referred us to a few of his connected shops for discounted price products but we are also free to shop around and find our own supplier. Price negotiation was straight forward and anything deviated from the plan was discussed. For things we had no clue, Sal gave us his suggestions and it was useful. Overall, we were very happy with the craftmanship of the two bathrooms and the services we got. We easily called them back for touch up and small fixes. I would recommend QA Builders.

Summary If you are…read morelooking for a GC, we highly recommend QA builders. Clear communication made the entire process smooth and we were really impressed with the quality of their work. All in all, we are very happy with the results. Details As first-time homeowners, we purchased a townhouse and wanted to complete renovations before moving in. Our project scope included a full kitchen renovation, replacing linoleum flooring in all 3 bathrooms, and updating flooring throughout the rest of the home. We met half a dozen other GCs before contacting QA Builders. The first point that set QA Builders apart from the others was that they sent the project manager instead of an estimator. When I called QA Builders, Sal picked up and told me that he he was currently booked but that he can send Poli to come over and discuss the project. From our first meeting with Poli, it was clear he was passionate and took pride in his work. We also appreciated his clear communication. After discussing the project scope, he walked us through a budget worksheet to estimate material costs and labor, giving us a realistic picture of the total project cost. This was invaluable since we had a budget limit, and Poli was committed to working within our constraints. What truly set QA Builders apart was Poli's hands-on approach to sourcing materials. During the first few weeks, he took us to various specialty vendors to select the materials needed including bathroom cabinets, PVC flooring, tiles. While we were impressed by the vast selection at each shop--almost overwhelmed at times--Poli guided us through every decision. His vendor relationships ensured competitive pricing and better quality compared to big box stores. A particular highlight was selecting our quartz countertop at a stone warehouse where we could view and choose from an extensive array of slabs to find the perfect match. Walter and his team handled the construction work, and we were very impressed with their meticulous attention to detail. The bathroom tiles are perfectly aligned, even up to the side tiles, and the kitchen cabinet doors are all precisely aligned. It's clear that Walter takes pride in getting every detail right. Poli brought valuable ideas and suggestions to the project. Most notably, after removing the old cabinets, he identified a floating wall in the kitchen and recommended removing it. While this decision required us to redesign the cabinet layout and caused a schedule delay--compounded by the project overlapping with the holiday season--it proved worthwhile. Removing the wall significantly opened up the kitchen space. However, the delay meant we had to move in before the project was completely finished. The team worked hard to get as much done before the move and after we moved in, Walter and crew were very respectful of our space, cleaning up their workspace at the end of each day. Towards the end of the project, we provided a list of minor fixes that needed attention. Poli and Walter thoroughly reviewed each item, ensuring that all work was completed to our satisfaction. We are very happy with the results and the whole process was smooth. We will definitely contact them for our next project. On a side note, I genuinely enjoyed interactions with Poli and Walter. I am a curious person and enjoy learning about the details of how things work. Poli and Walter were always happy to answer my questions about the project and share their expertise on how various parts in the home work. Their patience and willingness to educate me were truly appreciated.

If you are looking for the absolute best price and a contractor who is genuinely easy to talk to, Jay is your guy. He is very agreeable and was always willing to negotiate and perform reworks until I was satisfied with the result. That said, if your project is on the more complicated side like mine was, you should be prepared to take an active role in project management. The timelines did extend significantly beyond the original estimates, and I had to stay on top of the subcontractors to ensure the craftsmanship met my standards. It wasn't a hands-off experience, but because he is such an honest person to deal with and his pricing is so competitive, we got both projects to the finish line. A strong pick for those on a budget who don't mind being involved in the details. After working with many contractors in the Bay Area, I've found that the alternative is usually someone charging much more who promises a turnkey experience but can't guarantee it either. Knowing that tradeoff, I would hire Jay again - and already have.
