Ron and Aaron are fantastic. Best Builders did a gut renovation and added a bedroom/bath to our 1925 2 bedroom one bath. Ron and Aaron renovated the kitchen and existing bath, replaced the drywall, flooring, plumbing, and electric throughout, added central air and insulation, redid the roof, and out gorgeous smooth stucco on the exterior. They estimated 8 months and that's exactly how long we were out of the house - even with the surprise discovery of old termite damage! The house now looks gorgeous and functions beautifully. It's a joy to wake up in the bedroom of my dreams, my master bath makes me feel like I'm staying in a fancy hotel, and my wall of cabinets keeps the house organized! Ron was a great communicator - detail oriented and at the house every day. He was even willing to jump in and solve problems himself. Could not recommend more highly. read more

Ron is fantastic to work with. He takes the time to explain the process and discuss the options of how to move forward. His efficient coordination of all of his subcontractors allowed for an easy and smooth remodeling process. Everyone he brought on to the project was extremely professional, honest and a pleasure to work with. I would happily recommend him! read more

After interviewing multiple contractors for our bathroom project, we selected Ron at Best Builders & Development to transform our bathrooms.  Ron was great to work with and was more than patient/accommodating in having to stop the project a couple of times while we awaited components that were on backorder (window, tub-filler, etc.).  He provided valuable ideas on how to best make layout changes once the demo started and we were able to see what was in the old walls.  He was hands-on during the project and detail-oriented; he happily resolved any imperfections we brought to his attention.  His crews were punctual, talented and maintained a clean atmosphere.   He also resolved a couple of issues that were outside of his scope and he did not change order us for them.  He was not the lowest bid, but worth the extra dollars when we consider the outcomes achieved.  We highly value his talents and cannot imagine looking anywhere else when we start our ADU project.

We had Ron and Aaron's team compete an addition and overhaul of our house that included building a new kitchen and master suite. Ron was our main contact and he was extremely approachable, easy to get hold of and a very clear communicator throughout the process. We moved out for 3.5 months and the team worked extremely hard every day (barring rain) to have us back in our new home by the deadline. From the get go, Ron explained what his team would and would not do as part of the quote (for example, they did not install the kitchen units). He also had contacts who would complete much of the work that was not included - glass shower screen, iron work - professionally and at reasonable prices. As with many jobs of this size (from what I hear!), there were unforeseen additional costs. Our house is old and there were additional foundation costs due to rotten old foundations and the City suddenly requiring deeper foundations after one of the inspections. Ron clearly explained the issues to me and the amount he charged us for the extra work was reasonable. He also handled my frustration with the situation well! Throughout the process, Ron clearly cared about us being happy with how it looked and made changes requested. Also, he has come back repeatedly to fix small issues that you don't notice until you live somewhere. I would definitely recommend this team to people looking for similar construction work. They do a solid job and are extremely reliable. read more

I wish there was a zero star option because I have maintained a relationship longer than the kitchen that was done for us back in 2011. We had asked for a chef's kitchen from Aaron, but what we got was junk. We were charged an exuberant amount of something like $25,000. The kitchen looked really bad and was miss matched. The cabinets worked (kind of)at best for about a three days after the remodle. We have had loads of problems with the cabinets and the fact that they are done wrong according to our wants. The fact I have had a cabinet door come off in my hand really doesn't make me a happy customer. Aaron is very hard to get a hold of to correct the issues that his guys had created, and the only solution that they offer seems to be band-aids to the issues. The issue was shoty worksmanship with one cabinet glossy and the other matte. Inaccurate measurements, uneven flooring, and no color splash (that was paid for) installed. We regret ever going with Aaron. We got ripped off in big way. Don't EVER use his services because the work is bad and once the work is done he washes you off of his hands. Aaron will stand up for his workers more than he cares about his clients read more

On a recommendation from a neighbor, we hired Ron and his team for our garage conversion and we've been really happy with the outcome. Renovating is inherently disruptive and inconvenient, but Ron is a pro who helped streamline the experience throughout, minimize the inconveniences and kept everything moving forward. He has a wide network of people who get the job done fast. He kept the project on budget and was consistently responsive and patient with us throughout the process, even when we first installed polished concrete floors and then changed our minds and later decided to install hard wood. We recommend Best Builders to anyone who is looking for an honest, professional general contractor. Great work and high quality. We would hire them again. read more

Thanks for making my dreams come true! Great service, amazing design and beautiful Job. Highly recommended! read more

I wish there was a 10 star rating I could give Roei, Eric & the rest of their crew! They are that good. My husband & I were in contact with Roei & Eric for over a year until we finally decided to pull the trigger on our remodel. Each time we would meet, we never felt pressure to move forward until we were ready. They were so patient with all our questions & concerns. We finally decided to move forward on 3/1/20. Yes at the very beginning of the pandemic! Our timing couldn't have been worse but that didn't stop this amazing crew. We were so worried that everything would halt & our remodel would be stalled. Roei told us everything would be done in approximately 3 months. Even before the pandemic, we figured it was just a guess & there would be the usual construction delays. Then when the pandemic hit, we prepared ourselves for the worst. The only delay we encountered was an issue with our appliances (not on Roei). The crew worked tirelessly and safely to finish our home in 3 months & 2 weeks! Our neighbors even told us how impressed they were with the workers. My husband & I are quite indecisive which makes it difficult for a house makeover. Roei & Eric helped us make most of our decisions with patience & kindness. They always were here for us & literally responded to texts in less than 5 minutes! I can't recommend them enough. We've already sent a few friends their way. You can't go wrong with this crew! read more

Working with Ron and Aaron has been a really good experience. They have been very diligent considering the construction complexities and the City requirements, and dealing with the added hiccups derived of the pandemic. They always reply the phone or call you back immediately and have been very clear in the communication of all the steps. We will use them again read more

Ron was recommended by a good friend for whom he did a nice extension. We just finished a 6-month major renovation project with Ron and his team and we are super happy with the result. He is a real professional builder with a great team, knowing his business very well. Ron has a great sense for details which was very important to us and had a very good understanding of what we wanted. He provides great quality at a fair price, he is well organized and most importantly trustworthy. read more

We hired Ron and his team back in January based on a recommendation, and we are delighted with the work and the overall experience. He added a beautiful new bedroom, bathroom, and closet to our home and seamlessly integrated them with the rest of the house. He stuck to the schedule and the budget with no surprises. We'd recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. He seems to take great pride in his work and always wants his customers to be happy. He is also completely honest and never sugarcoats anything. We appreciate this honesty and feel it really helped prepare us for the exciting but sometimes stressful task of a big renovation. Ron and his team are real pros. read more

remodeled my whole home, everything came out amazing and quick would definitely recommend if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy renovating and building company read more

Roei is fantastic to work with. He was at our house every day to check on progress. Our whole house remodel was done quickly. He had workers here everyday. He also helped me with a lot of design ideas. He has a great eye and listened to exactly what we were looking for. Our house is beautiful! read more

Aaron is my neighbor. Initially I was a bit reluctant in hiring him as one never knows the outcome of a remodel job and does not want to be in bad terms with a neighbor. Nevertheless I decided to move forward with the project and trusted him and his team. I am extremely satisfied with his work. I had a wall completely taken out and put a window instead, built a soffit in one of the walls in the living room, and the fireplace pushed back into the soffit, had recessed lighting put in, among other things. His prices were very reasonable, and very importantly, his timeline in finishing the work was spot on. I highly recommend him!! Sabrina B Studio City, CA read more

My husband and I have had an excellent experience with Best Builders and Development Company when they recently remodeled our kitchen. The owners, Aaron, Ron and Roie know the meaning of Customer Service. They were priced fairly, their people did outstanding work and they worked around our time schedule. One of the owners came to our house every day to check on the work and the progress. All calls or texts were answered in a very timely manner. No problem was too big! My kitchen looks great. What a wonderful change from a very dated look. They refaced our cabinets, put granite on our counters, new floor and sink. I brought in new appliances. Bottom line: They did what they said they would do and did it in 3 weeks. We will hire them again for another project. Very pleased. read more

Aaron and his team of contractors are the best! I am an interior design consultant and I was referred to Best Builders by someone else! I was so happy with the results and so was my client! If you want a fair and job well done, Best Builders are the people to hire! Always available to talk to you, Always on the job, Always done within the time frame promised! Best Builders are the BEST! read more

We hired Roei and his team to upgrade an old triplex unit we've been using for AirBnB rentals. Having worked with a number of contractors in the area, we found his team to be shockingly professional. They showed up on time, kept their work space clean, made exceptional efforts to work around our belongings, met all of our requests and sent in a quality control team in the end that combed through all their work with a white glove. We were immensely impressed and have recommended them to everyone we know who's needed a contractor. read more

Hire at your own risk, they did nothing right, I'm still repairing what they did years later. The owner is the nicest guy in the world, don't let that fool you. Absolutely awful. They tried to put a lien on my house because I would not pay their trumped up charges. The owner comes in and underbids everyone after you hire him he starts charging for everything that should be included in the work to make up the price. Examples: 1.One of the jobs they were hired for was a kitchen remodel. They were told that we are putting in a new double oven. They upgraded the electrical to accommodate the oven. I had also contracted with them to replace a window in the back unit. I later had to cancel the window install. After I cancelled the owner told me he would be charging me extra to put in the oven, WHAT!!! How are you charging me EXTRA to install the oven in a kitchen remodel? Ovens go with kitchens, it was part of the original bid. Did you think the oven was going into the bathroom? Absurd! 2. Range hood. I had 2 range hoods installed. One was in the main house the other in the back unit. Both leaked after it started raining. I had to call a roofing company to redo the vents on the roof. 3. They were also to re-finish the hardwood floors. One of the main reasons to do the floors was there were black spots due to animals or water damage, I'm not sure, but I specifically pointed out the spots and told the owner that this is why I need the floors re-done. After I cancelled the window install mentioned above, the owner tried to make up the lost revenue. He charged me extra for swapping out the damaged wood planks. WHAT??? Didn't we discuss the reason for the floor job? Did you not say fine and quote me a price? At no time did this guy say, "This will be a separate charge or this will be extra". As I wrote above, hire at your own risk. read more

Ron and his team did great work for us, and delivered on time and on budget. We did a kitchen remodel, master bath, and some other work throughout the house. They offered creative solutions any time a problem arose, and their workers were truly professional. A pleasure to work with. We've referred them to friends and would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

UPDATE: We were so pleased with Ron & his team's work on our prior remodel that we had them do our master suite add on. We had a set space where we needed a master bedroom, master bath, walk in closet, office, second bathroom and laundry room. We brought Ron in early to help us make the best use of the space and he did not disappoint. He helped us visualize what we wanted and some of the rooms are larger then I thought they could be! The project went along at a good pace and we got everything we wanted, which is great since this was a bigger job than the last one. Ron takes pride in his jobs and it was again reflected with this project. Happy we went with BBD again on this second project and we will be keeping Ron's number handy for future projects! read more

I really like working with Roei. He is very professional and proactive. He did not hesitate coming over as many times as I needed. He is very creative and always came up with solutions with whatever problems I came up. He has a real flair with modern and practical interior designs. I did not ended up hiring him because a competitor came with a slightly lower bid. If I had a bigger budget, Roei would have been my first choice. Thanks Roei for spending so much time working with me. Less read more

We did a major remodel (practically a complete tear down), so I did a lot of research beforehand. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I HIGHLY recommend Best Builders and Roei for any and all projects. I've always heard about nightmares with contractors and my experience was the exact opposite. Roei's correspondence is second to none. We are so happy with our new home. read more

Absolutely delighted how beautifully my home remodel turned out; I urge anyone considering a home remodel to use Best Builders and general contractor Roei Gruenberg. Roei from Best Builders transformed my charming but simple post WWII tract house into one of the most elegant and comfortable custom homes I could imagine, at a reasonable price and with construction completed just over two months. I interviewed eight other contractors. Of those eight, one other also impressed me--Jim Groesbeck from Groesbeck Construction. He was very knowledgeable and seemed honest and kind. But only Roei from Best Builders showed the vision and imagination to save costs by using my existing structure. He detailed a plan that did not add square footage by extension or a second story, yet in reconfiguring the house interior, gave me the room for everything I needed, including a modern kitchen and elegant master bedroom suite. It was not a perfect experience. There were rough spots, disagreements, and other extra costs--not everything was a walk in the park. But bottom line, Roei said that once he was done with the remodel, I would not want to move. And he delivered. Details follow. Whole house (3bd/2bth) gutted house except for two bedrooms which just got new hardwood floors and paint. All the other contractors I interviewed agreed about an open floor plan. Only Roei surprised me with a different idea--to keep the front closed off and converted to a master bedroom suite from the former kitchen, guest bed, and guest bath. Then to open everything past that point so that the house would have a natural flow to the backyard. Brilliant. Further, he told me I could continue living in the house all through the construction--(that worked except for 2 weeks of hell). I am not a visual person, so I actually made him place stickers all over the house so I could get used to his dramatic restructuring. After a week walking around the house looking at those stickers, I finally got what he had in mind and decided to go forward. Here's what went really well: *the architect from Best Builders made Roei's plan very clear and easy to see. Other contractors who saw the plans were very impressed with its level of detail. *Roei created a contract that was easy to understand and was flexible when I asked to hold back a larger amount for the final payment *Construction went on schedule and workers were all pleasant *a storage container was delivered and I was given sufficient time to pack up my entire house *The major construction work was of good quality without shortcuts --specifically the foundation support, the flooring, the framing, the plumbing, the tiling, the windows, the electrical, and the ducting *Mistakes were corrected without argument, even when costly--one worker damaged an expensive new window and it was simply replaced. After construction was completed, many issues remained and Roei systematically rehired people to fix them. *After demolition and the framing and installation of windows, the house immediately took on a new shape and had a new light that was an exciting improvement. And the feeling just kept getting better as the construction continued. Here's what did not go really well: *My backyard became a trashpit, plants destroyed. Inside furniture not properly covered and got scratched *my material costs in addition to construction grossly underestimated--floor, tile, fixtures, appliances, etc. *Painters terribly sloppy--painted over everything and it took days to clean with my supervision *several small important details missing--ex. no place to put a trash container in the new kitchen! Remodeling is complex in detail, but it can turn out great with a good design, good contractor, and client willing to be present to make decisions on the details that emerge. Go for it! read more

My wife and I just completed a complete kitchen remodel, top to bottom, front to back, and side to side. We met with five contractors in preparing to start the remodel, and decided on Best Builders for several reasons. They came in second in pricing, but we quickly passed on #1 because they really didn't seem to know answers to simple questions. I am "in the business", so-to-speak, working in facilities maintenance and construction for many years, and could tell # 1 wasn't the one for us. We met with Ron and Roy and from the first meeting I was impressed. They were personable, professional, had great ideas, and above all, were qualified in my mind. They gave us price and told us the job would take 4 - 6 weeks. We started and throughout the project they kept in touch, telling us what the plan was for the following few days. My wife and I met them at the tile store for the floor and back splash tile, and the counter top materials. We even had a fantastic lunch with them. We picked a high-end back splash that took some extra time to arrive, but even though they finished the job in the 6 week time frame. What a job they did! There were a few things that needed some fine tuning, but they were there the next day correcting everything to our satisfaction. The kitchen is a dream come true, with all the bells and whistles perfectly put together by an outstanding group of professionals. I know without a doubt I'll be making only one call the next time a project needs to be bid. Go with Best Builders and leave your worries behind, and say hello to Ron and Roy for us.

Ron was recommended on the Next Door app and we knew as soon as we met with him that he was going to do a great job and more importantly be honest and accountable. We did a fairly large (and complicated kitchen remodel) and Ron was in constant contact and on the job site consistently. Although we ran into some complexities, he and his team were on time and most importantly on budget. He took a personal stake bc he knew that we had two young children that were being impacted so he went above and beyond. I cannot recommend him enough, he is a man of his word which is rare in this field. We will continue to hire Ron for any projects we have in the future. read more

Sabrina here again posting yet another testimony for a 5 star customer service from Ron and Aron. I hired Best Builders to re stucco my house a year and a half ago. Last week noticed a leak after the heavy rains and called Ron. No problem, no sweat, he immediately sent his roofer to take care of the problem. These guys are the best. They will not abandon you or jump ship if a problem arises. To me, this is priceless. THANK YOU Ron!!! read more

After meeting with several contractors, Roei and Ron were our obvious choice, not just because of a fair quote, but they were honest about the realities of what to expect for our project. We needed to add a second story to accommodate my mother having to move in with my family of four. Best Builders not only gave us what we wanted, but they completely redesigned the whole home, making it flow perfectly. Even with city permit limitations, each square foot is maximized to full potential. Roei was our lead guy and never missed a call or text, and worked with us on every detail. Ron stepped in if Roei couldn't and was just as great. For an entire knock down and rebuild, they told us 6-8 months. We moved back in almost right at six months. Even better, is that since the house has been completed, we still stay in touch and any details that require fixing, touch ups, etc., they're on it without delay or complaint. Needless to say, but highly recommend this company! We love our new home. read more
