    Amir and his team replaced rafter boards and eaves, did stucco repair and repainted the entire house.
    Paul T.

    This review is for the great folks at Best American Builders, and especially for Amir. I needed many rotted out rafter boards and eaves replaced on my house, in addition to other miscellaneous work like demolishing a pergola and planter, redoing stucco work and paint on the entire house, etc. Amir was one of many contractors who I got estimates from, and he provided the lowest quote. Yet, Amir's meticulous attention to detail meant the work on the house was top-notch. I genuinely believe better work could not have been achieved by any other contractor, especially for the price. Where some project managers at other companies leave the work to their contractors, Amir showed up everyday and made sure the quality of the work was up to the highest of his standards. I definitely recommend the services of Best American Builders to anyone in need of home improvement work.

Yanny and Arie are truly wonderful people - kind, professional, incredibly organized, and very easy to work with. Everything is clear from the beginning, and when they promise something, they follow through and get it done on time. It's honestly hard to find people who are this organized and reliable. What I also really appreciated was the positive and easygoing atmosphere they bring to the whole process. Construction projects can sometimes feel stressful, but they make everything feel simple and manageable. If you're looking for help with an ADU, patio cover, or other construction projects, I would absolutely recommend Better Together Builders. You can rely on them 100%. Great people, great communication, and a company I'm genuinely happy to recommend!

    5 stars so far, and I hope to come back and update this review when our ADU is complete!…read more This review reflects our experience through the signing of our ADU contract. Construction has not started yet, so I cannot speak to the building process or the finished product. But everything we have experienced so far has been so positive that I felt Preferred Home Builders truly deserves five stars at this stage. After an extremely frustrating experience with a different contractor, I feel compelled to share what we learned for anyone embarking on the ADU journey: do not fall for charlatans, empty promises, lousy sketches, or requests for too much money upfront. Take your time, ask questions, and look for a professional who is willing to invest the time and expertise needed to understand your project before asking you to commit. That is exactly what we found in Nir at Preferred Home Builders. From our very first meeting, Nir has been professional, punctual, courteous, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. Before we signed a contract, and before he even knew whether he would get our business, he invested more than 10 hours of in person meetings with us, in addition to extensive email communication. That level of commitment made a huge impression on us. Our ADU site presents some challenges because of the hilly terrain. Nir took the time to understand those challenges, assess them carefully, and come back to us with thoughtful options rather than making unrealistic promises or glossing over potential complications. Another thing that really impressed us was the level of detail that went into the budgeting process. We completed an extensive questionnaire covering everything from major decisions such as windows and doors to seemingly tiny details, such as how many sconces we wanted by the entrance and whether they should be on the left or right. The result was a remarkably detailed budget that leaves very little, if anything, to be figured out later. After our previous experience, the difference has been night and day. So, at this stage of the process, I cannot recommend Preferred Home Builders highly enough. Nir is clearly at the top of his game, and we are very happy to be working with him. I look forward to coming back to update this review once the ADU is completed, hopefully with another five stars and plenty of pictures to share!

    We hired this team for a major structural renovation--adding a loft in our high-ceiling living…read moreroom, building a wet bar underneath it, and replacing our kitchen's back door and window with a beautiful bifold door. (Note: The furniture bar cabinets and library were added later on and were not part of this contractor's project). From start to finish, the entire team was extremely professional, dedicated, and highly skilled. On the very first day we met, Nir helped design a 3D view of the project that perfectly captured exactly what we had envisioned. Throughout the build, we had a weekly walkthrough with Nir to check if we had any questions or concerns, which kept communication incredibly clear. Elba was also an excellent project coordinator who was always available to answer our questions and keep everything on track daily. The construction crew themselves were clearly very experienced and knowledgeable; they followed our approved plans meticulously and were happy to accommodate extra requests along the way. You can truly gauge the quality of their work by the fact that every single city inspector visit passed on the first try--nothing ever had to be rescheduled or redone because everything was built perfectly to plan. Additionally, all of the finishes--from the drywalling to the trim work and paint--were done with high-quality materials and top-tier craftsmanship. Overall, it was a great experience, and we highly recommend them!

He also pointed out the good things about the property, which I really appreciated because it wasn't just focused on the negatives.

Very grateful for how thorough and helpful he was.

You can tell they take great pride in what they do and actually care about their clients. I like that they're a family-run business as well. This was my first attempt at investing in a rental income property and was very nervous about finding the right contractors to do the job well, for a fair price. I received several other quotes, but so glad I chose CB. David Moshe was my main contact there. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and straightforward about what needed to be done and where potential problems might be. From day one, everything went smoothly and efficiently. I was given a clear work timeline and payment schedule. Was informed about each step as they progressed. It was a tremendous amount of work to be completed in 3 months, which they did. David was patient and understanding with my many requests and questions, and immediately solved any issues that came up. Wish I knew all the names of the crew as well. They were all highly skilled, professional, and respectful of my property. I wouldn't hesitate to use Cavalier Builders for future projects and highly recommend them as well.

His crew is responsive and hardworking, and when my timeline got tight, Franklin didn't hesitate to step in himself and get his hands dirty to keep things on track. He was very fair with his pricing and never took advantage of changes that came up along the way. His attitude of "no problems, only solutions" was a huge stress relief for me throughout the project. I had several bids from other contractors, but my gut told me to go with Franklin -- and I'm so glad I listened. Eileen, his daughter, was also fantastic to deal with. Their communication was excellent: they always picked up the phone, always made time to come to the job site if I had questions or concerns, and always made me feel like my project mattered. I'm incredibly thankful I found Franklin and wouldn't hesitate for a second to use him again.

I had to go to his bond company and CSLB to complain them to ask them come back. The newest gaps I found during painting project made my experience even worser, please see the photos then you know what I am talking about. The mistakes that they have made. 1. Made the roof eves shorter, the original ones were 24 inches, but they only made 18 inches. They blamed my structural engineer but lack of document support. After I escalated this issue and others to his bond company and CSLB, they came back to extend the rafter and added a soffit which made the appearance really bad. 2. They demolished a wall between the kitchen and sunroom, which should be kept. 3. They cut the water supply pipes(both cold and hot) and sewer line from underground to the wall and didn't seal them. when I turned on the water, the water came from underground. I had to spend $1,700 to hire a professinal plumber to reroute these pipes which should not need to. 4. They made the kitchen window opening lower than usual, it is too low that i even can not put a sink under the windows. I had to uninstall the new window, ask them come back to move the opening higher, then reinstall the new window. I spent $100 for uninstallation and another $250 to reinstall it. 5. During the painting of the eaves, the painters found lots of unusual gaps and took photos for me. They told me never hire them again. When i forwarded these photo to them, they declined to fix them and ask me to hire painters to patch them. The painters cannot do it since the gaps are so big and they used scrap wood to make the ending work.

    Back in March, while searching for a contractor, I came across G&M and was amazed by their Yelp…read morerating--115 reviews and a perfect 5.0 stars. At the time, we had already received two quotes for a full master bathroom renovation. The first quote came from a reputable firm, and while their service seemed solid, their vision for the project didn't align with ours. They were focused on chrome fixtures and vinyl materials, whereas my wife and I wanted a more upscale design featuring brass finishes and marble. The second quote was much cheaper, but it was clear that corners would be cut and problems would likely arise. We weren't interested in dealing with those kinds of headaches. We decided to give G&M a call and at least have a conversation. I spoke with Joe, the owner, who came across as knowledgeable, professional, and straightforward. He arranged for Jonah, the project manager, to meet with us, and we were immediately impressed by his positive attitude and "can-do" approach. From the start, it felt like he and his company were the right fit for our project. We were able to agree on a very competitive price, and the design plan the team developed exceeded our expectations. Throughout the renovation, the crew--Danny, Philipe, Edan, and the rest of the team--were punctual, hardworking, respectful, and genuinely pleasant to have in our home. Jonah was outstanding from start to finish. He solved problems, answered every question, and consistently went the extra mile to make sure everything was done right. Now that the project is complete, we absolutely love our new bathroom. Looking back, we know we would not be nearly as happy or satisfied had we chosen either of the other contractors. Jonah and his team truly deliver five-star service, and now we understand exactly why G&M has earned such an incredible reputation. The next time we have a home improvement project, we know exactly who we'll be calling.

    We had an incredible experience with G&M Home Remodeling, and especially with Joe, the owner. From…read morethe very beginning, Joe made us feel confident and supported through every step of our remodel. We interviewed three different contractors, and Joe was the only one who took the time to truly understand our vision. He met with us not once, but twice, to go over our goals in detail, including our budget. And never once pressured us to go beyond it! As first-timer tackling a major renovation, his honest advice (including what he would do if he were in our shoes) was incredibly valuable and reassuring. This was a massive project: remodeling three bathrooms, replacing sewer pipes under both the front and back of the house, mold remediation, asbestos removal, modernizing the exterior, painting inside and out, updating trim, swapping chandeliers and canned lighting, replacing interior doors, and installing a new front door and garage door. Joe truly has teams for everything, that is skilled professionals he's worked with for 10+ years and it shows in the quality and coordination of the work. His crew was consistently kind, respectful, and punctual. Every morning they showed up on time and treated our home with care. With a small child in the house, safety was a huge concern for us, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was secure and safe for her at all times. Joe also made sure no corners were cut. He handled permits thoroughly and professionally, and when we ran into a particularly difficult inspector, Joe personally came to the house to ensure everything was up to code so we wouldn't face further delays. That level of ownership and commitment is rare. We constantly get compliments from friends and neighbors about how our 1960s home looks completely transformed, in the best way. We liked our house when we bought it, but now we absolutely LOVE it, and that's all because of Joe and his team. Joe is just a genuinely warm, lovely person who truly goes above and beyond. We can't say enough good things about him. If you're considering a contractor, don't hesitate - G&M Home Remodeling is the one.
