We hired Better Together Builders to update our kitchen with new cabinet doors and tile installation. We are more than satified with their work. The materials are high quality and the cabinet doors look great. The tile work perfect. Avi managed the project. They checked in to see the progress and if our expectations were met after every stage. Beto, the cabinet installer, did a great job and Art did an amazing finish. I have to mention Antonio, the tile installer, he did a perfect installtion. We would highly recommend BTB and suggest requesting the contractors mentioned. read more

I had such a great experience with Better Together Builders! They were recommended to me by my friend Dori, and I'm so happy I decided to work with them. 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! read more

Do not recommend. Our designer pretty much bailed on us and left us to do most of the project management on our own. The quality of work was dismal and the house feels unfinished. The materials used were not what we were told we were getting especially in the kitchen and the project was supposed to take 6-9 months and we finally and to make them Leave at over a year. It's still not done and when you see the pictures, especially of the kitchen, you will be convinced to look else where. They damaged our brick fireplace with their messing paint job, didn't match the color of our stucco and left half unfinished, our counter is damaged from their finishing, you can see messy careless details. I can't add more than 20 pics but I have at least double that to show their shoddy work. read more

I contacted this company after seeing so many positive reviews. After providing the contractor with our project details, he kept asking for our budget and was trying to dodge giving us a quote until we provided our budget. They made us really uncomfortable trying to see how much money they could get from us. In the end, they gave a quote that was more than twice the price of all the other contractors. Save your time and look elsewhere. read more

(Updated March 2026) I hired Better Together Builders for a major home renovation and paid over $175,000 toward the project. While some work was completed, the overall experience has been disappointing due to prolonged delays, unfinished and substandard work, poor communication, and lack of accountability. Key examples from my project: * Electrical work left incomplete and hazardous (exposed wiring), requiring me to hire a licensed electrician at my own expense. * Poor preparation and installation led to chipped slabs, misaligned cuts, unpatched drywall holes. * The wrong type of water heater (indoor instead of outdoor) was installed, requiring full replacement. * Partial demolition -- I paid $20k milestone but had to complete much of the ceiling/wall demo myself. * Large portions of kitchen and bedroom work abandoned/incomplete. Communication was inconsistent -- I often had to chase updates, and there were barriers to effective discussion due to my deafness (I rely on ASL as my primary language, but no qualified ASL interpreter was provided for contract explanations or change orders). This contributed to misunderstandings about scope and costs. Extended delays caused months of lost rental income and extra temporary housing costs. I ultimately stopped working with BTB and hired another contractor who completed the remaining work faster and to a higher standard. Update (October 2025): Discovered additional serious issues, including the improper water heater install. Update (December 30, 2025): Matter entered formal mediation (unresolved). Update (February 2026): Submitted BBB complaint (ID 24475296, ongoing). BTB responded disputing claims, but I found their response unsatisfactory due to incomplete timeline and unaddressed issues. Update (March 2026): BTB filed a lawsuit against me in Los Angeles Superior Court (Case No. 25STCV36434) seeking to foreclose on a mechanic's lien for approximately $113,000. On January 30, 2026, my attorney demanded binding arbitration at the BBB per the contract's arbitration clause, requiring a court-certified ASL interpreter for accessibility. The dispute remains unresolved, and my out-of-pocket repair and completion costs continue to rise. My lawyer and I have filed a Verified Cross-Complaint in the same court against Better Together Builders, Inc., owner/CEO Yaniv Brikman, project manager Alon David, and representative Lena Agbaria. My original review reflects my direct experience. Homeowners should carefully verify scopes, permits, installations, subcontractor quality, payment milestones, and communication accommodations before proceeding. read more

It's been more than 2 years since the BTB nightmare and we CONTINUE to find problems we didn't even know about, as we slowly pay someone else to fix the disastrous BTB work. The backyard drains BTB installed weren't working at all, water just pooled everywhere on the patio, including low points not near the drains, and we have to sweep / sump pump it out every time there is significant rain. We are currently paying another company nearly 10k to completely re-lay and install all new yard drains in the pavers that BTB installed, before the El Niño season, as BTB clearly didn't understand physics and dug down the drains down nearly 2 feet with no consistent levels and somehow expected the water to run uphill through pipes at the surface. We should've forced BTB to re-do EVERYTHING or sought legal counsel, instead of "settling" as they encouraged us to do... they still continue to be a thorn in our side, in what should've been our dream backyard project. It's just unreal. read more

We recently completed a large renovation with Better Together Builders, and overall, our experience was a mix of positives and challenges. There were certainly strengths worth noting along with some areas where things could have gone more smoothly. Our initial reason for approaching BTB Builders was to add a front path and add another room. The path was the primary objective from the very beginning. Although we reiterated this point multiple times throughout the planning process, it was consistently downplayed. We were assured that the path would be addressed later, once work on the house was underway. Unfortunately, now that the project is complete, the path was never revisited- the one feature that brought us to them in the first place. A special shoutout goes to Sam, who stepped in midway through to manage the project. She truly stood out as attentive, action-oriented, and genuinely helpful. Her involvement made a noticeable difference and was a bright spot in the experience. We both agree that if Sam was there from the start it would have ended in a better spot. First, the quality of the work itself feels solid. Structurally, we feel safe and confident in what was built. We especially loved our foreman Ronan, who was there to personally assure us throughout the whole process. The whole team was diligent about addressing underlying issues and providing long-term fixes rather than quick patch jobs. They also stand by their work and have been willing to come back to address anything that needs attention, which gives us confidence that the results will hold up well over time. If you are looking for a modern and straightforward remodel without a lot of design complexity, they are a great fit. That said, their approach seemed less suited to projects with unique or custom design elements. My wife and I are artists and were hoping to build a more whimsical character house. It didn't become apparent until later in the project that decorative or outside-the-box features were not really their specialty, and that limited the final outcome in some areas. One area we struggled with was the lack of a clear, shared vision. We did not receive 3D renderings for key spaces like the bathroom and the front of the house, which led to misunderstandings, such as the tub ending up in the wrong place and a too-tight toilet placement. We had seen examples of their 3D work online, so we were hoping for the same level of support, but despite asking several times, it did not materialize for our project. As such, design communication wound up being a challenge. There was no real design work outside of the construction plans, so we never had a formal plan to guide the aesthetic details. I created a quick sketch of what the front of the house should look like, but it was not further developed by BTB into anything formal or detailed. We were repeatedly told "that choice comes later" when it came to several materials and details, which was then later forgotten. As a result, decorative elements we had hoped for were removed or simplified, and what was ultimately built ended up being a less artful, more basic version of what we had envisioned. One example: we asked for simple decorative beams around the windows and along the vertical walls--nothing extravagant, just a clean, intentional finish. The response made us feel like we were asking for something outlandish. First, it was treated as an unusual request, then followed by an outrageously inflated quote that felt less like a serious proposal and more like a clear signal they were ready to be done with our project. In the end, we had to install them ourselves after the contractors left. There were also some cleanup issues, including cement spillage, paint staining the porch, plus quite a lot of sharp debris left in the yard, which took extra time to address before our kids could play out there. Lastly, a couple of tips we wish we had known ahead of time that might help future clients: -Know what you want before you call the designers in for a meeting, and be very clear about what is nonnegotiable. -Notify your homeowner's insurance before starting, as you may need special coverage during renovations. -Be aware that once your home is in open construction, financial changes like refinancing / new loans can be difficult to pursue. -Don't plaster skim coat your new walls if you have kids- they chip very easily! If I could offer one suggestion to Better Together Builders, it would be to include a thorough final cleaning as part of the project. Wrapping that into the price and delivering the finished home in a pristine, move-in-ready state would make the end result feel so much more special and finished. In summary, if you have a clear plan that fits their typical style, your project may go smoothly and you will likely be pleased with the results. However, if your vision leans toward something more creative or highly customized, you might encounter some frustrations along the way. read more

I would never recommend using BTB. It was a terrible experience! the communication was bad, unorganized, a lot of the workers were unskilled, they didn't show up when they said they were, the foreman was antagonistic, the owners father actually yelled at me, and they ruined my yard. the work was to be completed in 21/2 months and it took 14 months! horrible company. read more

My husband and I are planning a complete remodel of our bathroom and kitchen. Our house is an older ranch style that is in dire need of updating, inside and out. I reached out to Better Together and was immediately contacted by the owner. He was pleasant, professional, and listened to our needs. He scheduled Bennie, one of his lead associates, to meet with us. Bennie arrived exactly on time. He took his time assessing our bathroom and kitchen, discussed what we wanted, anticipated what we needed, made solid suggestions, and helped us envision what we ultimately wanted. Due to my brother suddenly stepping and recommending his contractor--a family friend--who had recently remodeled his entire house, we chose to with this person. We would have chosen Better Together otherwise. read more

Better Together Builders is truly exceptional. We used Better Together Builders once before for a smaller project, and based on that great experience, we hired them again for a major remodel. Even though the remodel has just begun, we are already beyond impressed. Their communication is out of this world. They use WhatsApp and video walkthroughs to keep us updated every step of the way, which makes such a huge difference. Alon, the general manager, is incredibly knowledgeable and communicates with us daily. Whenever an issue comes up, he presents reasonable solutions and explains everything clearly so we actually understand what's happening. The demo crew was amazing--fast, efficient, and they left the house spotless. They bring in large work crews, so the job moves quickly and efficiently without cutting corners. There is always plenty of supervision on site, and unexpected issues are addressed immediately. Sapir in the office has also been fantastic. She keeps us informed about permits and sends us copies of everything, which makes the whole process feel organized and stress-free. When we interviewed contractors for this project, Better Together Builders (Alon and Ido) stood out immediately. They got back to us quickly with a detailed bid and even invited us to visit a current job site they were working on. It was clear they have their act together and strong relationships with their subcontractors and crews. You will not find another contractor who combines excellent workmanship with this level of communication and professionalism. We can't wait to share photos of the finished remodel and their amazing work. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Better Together Builders remodeled our 5 bathrooms. Our new bathrooms look amazing. Their quality of workmanship exceeded all our expectations. The team assigned to our project, including a project manager, was very professional and friendly. I would strongly recommend this company for any remodeling/construction projects read more

Choosing Better Together Builders was a fabulous decision. The end result was a 'dream kitchen' for us! What Better Together provided in addition to flawless workmanship, was a sense of calm and confidence in what could have been a very stressful time. Every question, every concern was met with an honest answer & a thoughtful solution. They would present various options and go over in great detail the potential pros and cons of each. They were always there even when they weren't on-site. Just a call or group-text away. Really a terrific team of workers who were always on time, very friendly, and consistently working toward delivering exactly what you have in mind. As much as I'm glad the job is done, I'll miss having the guys and gals around. They truly did go above and beyond our expectations. read more

I forgot to update this review after the work was all finished, but I am rectifying that now! The transformation of our condo's kitchen and two bathrooms has been such a dramatic improvement thanks to all the hard work the folks from Better Together Builders put in last year. It has been about 9 or 10 months now since the work was completed, and we still remark on a regular basis how much better and nicer our kitchen is to use now that it is no longer separated from the dining area by an old wall, not to mention now that we have nice new floors / cabinets / everything else. The bathrooms have been such a huge upgrade as well from the old fiberglass all-in-one stall and beat up fixtures that were there previously. We live in a small space, but we were even able to fit a soaking tub in our relatively tight master bathroom. I can fully recommend these guys to handle your project-- they are responsive and made sure all the work got done the right way. read more

Absolutely horrible business to work with. Honestly couldn't imagine a worse company to work with. The work they did on my family's place took over 3x as long as they said it would. Workers never show up when they say they would and would disappear for weeks. Work that was done was subpar at best. Not worth it, find another contractor. There is no way all these good reviews are real. Just prices there was reason they were the lowest quote... but it didn't end being the lowest after all said and done. read more

We wanted to remodel the shower, repair the walls, and paint the bathroom. Alon and Better Together team were super professional throughout the process and went above and beyond what we expected.

Overall the work was a great value and I would highly recommend working with Better Together Builders! read more

Most companies would not come back to fix issues without money on the line, but they did. As the owner promised in the comments they came back and fixed all the things they could. While we had issues, this company has integrity - which is hard to find today. We were not expecting them to come back since we didn't owe money. They came back, they fixed the issues and continued to check in to see if we were happy. I've heard of horror stories where companies drop off after they've received the money - well despite what happened - I would recommend this company for the integrity alone. Thank you, Yanni and Better Together for showing up and doing all you could to fix things. read more

We were looking for a house for over a year and went into escrow on a plot of land and first consulted with better together builders. They spent plenty of time talking to us about the project but ultimately we decided the plot of land and ground up construction wasnt for us. They also were one of the only guys who were willing to meet and talk with us on projects that we were not even in escrow yet. Fast forward a year and we finally found the house we wanted to renovate and they were our first call. We met with a total of 4 contractors but went with better together builders because they already earned our trust and we felt it was a good fit. We are now about 85% done with our project and have had a great experience. They are very accessible and responsive, meet regularly at the site and the quality of work is great. We have had some miscommunications but I will say every issue was resolved to our satisfaction. Would recommend them to our friends and use them for future projects. read more

Tomer and his team at BTB are the best in the business. We were in lock step the entire time with Tomer being the best communicator and project manager we could have ever asked for! He was clear, kind, and very much in tune with our vision. He helped us make good decisions, kept the team on track, and ensured that we were well informed of every single detail. My friends told me to be weary of project delays and for things to take longer than expected, but that was the exact opposite from Tomer's team. He was always very on top of our anticipated timeline, and even kept me accountable for things we had to do on our end! We finished according to our expectations even with some additional hiccups that we didn't anticipate! His team even helped fix plumbing issues and adjust electrical and water routes as required by permitting. They were thorough and followed every guideline closely. For all of my future projects, I will always use Tomer and his team. They are good people and I feel very fortunate to call Tomer my friend after having worked with him for this project! To be honest, they will not be the cheapest option but I guarantee it will be worth it to go with BTB for the comfort and confidence that the work will get done right and with pride. read more

Wanted to write a review for these guys. We worked with Ido mainly and his colleague Isaac and Edgar. We did a huge remodel of our 3200 sq foot home. We redid our kitchen entirely, master bedroom and bath entirely, two kid bathrooms, whole flooring up and down and knocked down a wall to make a sliding door to our back yard. We are new to this and we found such great reviews on Facebook mom group that I gave them my house and they did a great job. I heard such horror stories from my friends and their friends of remodeling and I was so afraid of what could be. BTB did it all On time, was responsive, took responsibility for what they did and if it wasn't done right- they came threw and rectified it. Big next thing- they did what they said they would and with the budget they gave us. As with any remodel - there is always hiccups but overall now being back home for two weeks- we really enjoy our "new" home and was ready to sell it prior to this but now will stay here for more years because it is so nice. They did what they said they would and in the time frame they promised which is big. I learned a lot in this process. Nothing is perfect but overall - they delivered and we are very satisfied and happy with the final product. I do recommend them. So just one advice. It's been 4.5 weeks and nothing related with BTB but one of their vendors- custom cabinetry vendor, his name is Jose. He is realllllllly hard to do any business with. I've been contacting him every week. He doesn't respond. Says he will come and no shows. I have given up. Beyond frustrated with him. BTB is great but do not go with Jose. Use another vendor. It's nearly impossible to contact him or get him to come back to do anything if needed. read more

I love that yelp is a platform where real customers can share their real experiences. I'm here to share my 5 month remodel experience so the next potential customer is fully made aware of what they can expect and then make their own decision whether or not to hire this company. This job was small it could have been done in a month or two max no more. i have a bachelors degree in the arts of interior design, as a project manager myself i have extensive experience with contracts, timelines, materials, finishes, etc. But it doesn't take a degree to see stuff is missing or done incorrectly. I updated my review after it was reported by the company. I replied to yelp and explained i am not a past employee, i am not a family member, i do not personally know any of these people, i do not have a competing business AND i am in fact, a real paying customer with invoices as proof. I am not satisfied with their work, i do not want them to try to fix it, i just wanted them out, you've done enough. For my small kitchen and dining room floor repair, I went on yelp and found this company. I regret this decision and highly recommend you ask for referrals, call the home owners to ask about their experience. Here are a few highlights from my own experience: They don't show up on time or on the days they are supposed to. The subcontractors are not supervised. They would ask the homeowners for direction. They had to redo small tasks 2-3x because it was done incorrectly. If you decide to hire them ask for a site supervisor or project manager to be there every day, when a subcontractor does work so he can explain and oversee their work each day. Get it in writing, in the contract, hopefully less headaches for you. The plumber was also the electrician, the outlets they installed are not fitted properly, they tried to tell me this is how they looked before. I have photos that shows otherwise. The kitchen sink water flow was terrible, it took 3 different plumbers to finally fix the issue. One plumber told me Tamir (project manager) asked him for a quick fix. The plumber said no, he was more expensive and likes to do things correctly, as one should. The good plumber left, Tamir tried to tell me, he left because I was rude to him. False and unprofessional. The new kitchen drawers are a matte finish. The existing ones are semi gloss, in order to be wipeable. The attention to detail is not there, the homeowners will have to notice and point out these issues. They left stone on the side of my house, without asking me. I have 2 little boys and a puppy, this could have fell on them. I was told there was not enough material to finish the job. I wanted a taller backsplash, no one bothered to suggest an alternative height in order to make the remnant pieces work. Even Tamir was surprised to hear this was left here. I would not schedule a plumber and painter to work in the same area the same day. If you still decide to move forward with them, ask them to paint off site at their workroom, workshop to avoid damage. They spray painted 4 of my trees white. To fix this i would have to cut all the front branches off leaving them bald and not aesthetic pleasing. Trees this height go for $125- 150 each. They lack good communication with clients re: schedule and with subcontractors re: work See photos attached and good luck! read more

Seemed like nice folks, originally. I got a quote for a bathroom remodel, agreed to give them the job, gave a deposit of $1,000 Before the work began, I ran into several serious personal issues both in health and financial. I had to call off the remodel, but they refused to refund the deposit claiming they had already "bought materials" which is one of the oldest excuses in the book. If you are in construction, they are standard materials. EDIT/UPDATE - Yanni (the owner) replied below (to my original review), I contacted him and it turns out he is a very nice man, very family oriented, etc. He apologized that his (now ex-employee) did not offer a refund, and he came to my house with a full refund check despite the cost of a permit they pulled. read more

My husband and I have had great experiences with Better Together Builders. Our house was built without rain gutters which was causing significant damage (as it does rain in Southern California occasionally) around the roof rafters tails and corbels. We got three estimates for the work which needed to be done. One was significantly higher, another significantly lower ... Better Together was in the middle, though not inexpensive. We ultimately felt like Better Together Builders was a good fit for us. We liked the communication and responsiveness to our concerns. It turns out there is much more to installing gutters than just hanging them up to the eaves of your roof ! After some research and learning more about rafters tails than I ever wanted to know -- we knew that we needed a contractor who understood the depth of first dealing with the damage that had been done due to having no gutters for 30 years. Better Together addressed our concerns and answered all of our questions. The owners dad, Ari even came by a couple of times early on to take a look at our concerns. The craftsmanship was excellent from beginning to end with helpful communication along the way. We are now looking at doing some remodeling inside our home with Better Together Builders. Naama has provided us with concise and timely communication via WhatsApp which has been very helpful. Alon David is an excellent manager providing us with estimates, alternatives, suggestions and answering our questions. Again, we have experienced excellent, timely communication with Alon. We look forward to getting started with Alon on some in-home remodeling in the next few months. read more

Ava, Issac and the team with Better Together Builders restored my hope in humanity or at least contractors. We had a horrible experience with a shifty cheat of a contractor who never got his hands dirty and treated his workers like crap -- we got burned by him with cost overruns and delays. Working with BTB was like night and day. Ava listened to what we wanted, developed a design, helped us find what we needed, fixed any problems and, most importantly, finished on time and within budget. The team, led by Issac, worked clean and were very nice to have in our house. Our space looks and works great. We would recommend their services to anyone looking for a remodel and we intend to work with them again. Just need the market to recover a bit. read more

In 48 hours, I was going to have my first baby. Unfortunately, I also just discovered a crack in our upstairs bathtub that leaked water damage into the downstairs ceiling. Frantically, I called several companies who might be able to quickly fix the leak so we could return home from the hospital with a safe house and working bathroom. Others were pushy about getting it done fast and cheap, but Idan from Better Together Builders approached the project calmly with a long term and big picture perspective. I appreciated the fact that BTB managed the entire scope of the project, which had expanded to asbestos and mold testing in my 1970s popcorn ceiling. We tested positive for mold, so mold remediation and ceiling repair (including removal of said popcorn ceiling) were added to the replacement of my tub. I am grateful that even though BTB presented the option of a full bathroom renovation, Idan respected the timeline of me trying to return home with our newborn and did not press for more work that would have extended our time away from home. We ended up with a really nice facelift for the bathroom along with some practicals like a new exhaust fan and pendant light. While the project management and communication were great, I had an issue with one or two of the laborers, who used my personal equipment (step ladder, painters tape, etc.) without asking and left them out in the rain. I would work with BTB again, but request those specific laborers not be assigned to my project. read more

The main people we dealt with at Better Together Builders were Lena in sales and Nik, the project manager. Each of the expert supervisors and crew they brought in to complete the task were strong, polite, clean and hard-working. We had most of our home's floors covered in high quality plank vinyl flooring, two bedrooms carpeted, and quartz kitchen countertops, a new sink etc. installed. Lena is great and gained our confidence in them from the beginning. Whatever she agreed to have the company do she put in writing, and came along with us to Superior Tile in North Hollywood where we purchased the materials. Her advice was friendly, professional, and good solid money-saving suggestions. Nik was attentive and always reachable. He worked constantly to meet our needs and figure out problems. He remained in close contact with each supervisor and often checked in with us or stopped by to see how work was proceeding. Because our home was occupied and full of breakables and thirty years of clutter while raising a family, there were complications beyond reflooring an empty house. However everything went fairly smoothly and we were surprised and appreciated that work was done even on weekends and Thanksgiving day! They laid most of the flooring while we were away for the holiday. Furniture was put back in place and the work seemed to be pretty close to finished when we arrived back home. There were no unwelcome surprises, nor additions to our bill except for our requested additional work of installing a beautiful fireplace mantel with the leftover quartz. What we wish had been better coordinated was the baseboards which delayed the end of the project. All furniture and breakables had to be moved three times! First for the floor and carpet installation. Several days later this had to be repeated for the baseboard installation and then a third time, about a week later for their painting. They were super about moving the furniture but we were appropriately responsible for moving the breakables and this required a lot of ongoing work. If the process could have had fewer steps and less repetitive moving it would have been our preference. Because the crew was gone and a single workman did all the baseboard installation, then later the painting (excellently by the way) and had to do most of the furniture moving by himself, the process took longer than expected. This was disruptive and difficult for us and when we were informed the job couldn't be finished until another week later we objected and happily negotiated to have him return the following day. All's well that ends well and our home looks amazing! read more

I have no words. I had a vision, I wanted a very specific look and they made it happen. They have exceeded my expectations. Fabulous work.

In the end, they completed the job, but getting there was a nightmare. If you want to hire someone to create problems rather than solve them and then spend weeks managing their team to ensure that you don't get totally hosed, then this is the right contractor. Weeks one and two: drinking on the job and me getting screamed by the project manager for calling them on it as well as damage to exterior parts of my home (pouring out leftover concrete on my fence). In the end, I spent $15k to have bathroom walls with chipped/broken tiles that they installed even though they damaged them (plenty of good tiles left unused in the box, so no excuse), damaged door frames that were not really repaired (they just shoved grout in the the gouges in the wood), and just over a month of headaches for a remodel of a smaller master bath (8x5 room). Avoid unless you want to pay to be screamed at by people who do not care about the quality of their work and allow drinking on the job and then yell at you for calling them on it. read more

I had a great experience with this company. I am in the middle of Escrow to buy a property that needs repairs.

I'm very grateful and recommend them highly. read more

I remodeled my kitchen, laundry, and garage with Better Together Builders. I connected with them via Angi and am very glad that their name came up. This was my first remodel experience. Better Together Builders, and Tomer especially, made this experience so pleasant. I communicated with Tomer daily about the schedule and plans. I also got insight and support into decisions I had to make about materials. He answered all my questions in a timely manner and made the process feel so smooth. The estimated time for the remodel was initially 6-8 weeks as we started with just the kitchen. The laundry room and garage were added on after. Even with the addition of these spaces, remodel time was completed at 7.5 weeks. I am so happy with the work that was completed and love how everything looks.

Not very reliable. And when they finally come to give you an estimate, they never get back to you. Luckily I found someone that is reliable.

Better Together Builders I can say are top tier in the field! The staff were incredibly professional and well organized. Any questions were promptly answered. Supervision of the process was a must for me. They were able to remodel my bathroom and kitchen to my liking. They were very attentive and accommodating to me while my home was being remodeled. All in all the service here is impeccable and there is a reason for the 5 stars. read more

We used them for kitchen remodeling in 2022 and they did a wonderful job. Yoti was in charge of the job and was extremely professional, efficient, and gave us reasonable prices. He and Sapphire were very responsive and made sure the job was done to our liking. Recently, we noticed an electrical issue in the kitchen and reached back out to them. Michelle handled our request and was notably helpful. She was excellent at following up immediately, rapidly scheduling an electrician, communicating the successful fix and following up with a kind holiday gift. We really appreciated her care and support. read more

UPDATED REVIEW: see last paragraph because they did fix everything 35k bathroom remodel. About a year later one of 2 vertical vanity mirrors become unfastened on one side, they come out to reattach. Also, toilet paper holder keeps coming loose and is becoming unattached. They repair with some kind of pliable material which begins loosening about a month later. A few months later, the other vanity mirror detaches and is dangerously close to detaching and crashing down on the floor or somebody. I tell them it's dangerous and am assured this will be handled on a priority basis. 3 days go by, and I hear nothing, so call again. The guy never followed up with his dispatcher, but instead tells me he thought they put it on priority. Sorry, will try and have someone contact me. Unacceptable answer. He promises he himself will come Monday and take it off the wall until he can get it reaffixed to the wall. He comes Monday, looks at it, says he has no tools, asks to see my tools. No L wrench is correct size, so goes to Home Depot for same. He says this is not what he does, not a builder. Puts the fallen side back up, tightens it to wear he is 99% sure it will not fall until gets handyman here to repair. Owner calls me . I Explain why my dissatisfaction. Says will have someone here to fix as soon as his (handyman) schedule permits, busy! Really? I have been waiting since my initial call over a week ago. I claim my right to have priority. It is Weds, 2? Weeks after initial call, and now my priority appt is for MONDAY! Not happy with them at all. Owner calls in response to my Yelp review. Says they will be here in the morning to fix everything. They did. Everything was repaired, reinstalled and or refinished to where it should have been in the 1st place. Now, I am satisfied, but 1) don't appreciate the poor workmanship and hassle it caused to begin with 2) leaving review so they will stay on top of things like this, and not put a customer off unleashes you make noise as this mirrors were very unsafe how they were installed initially. read more

I usually don't review companies until my business with them is concluded but feel compelled to make an exception. I'll update my review when we get to the end, but there are a few things I can bottom line without going into extreme detail. Better Together Builders is a beacon of everything a general contracting company can and should be. In a field that's much more often associated with fraud, gaslighting, ghosting, trying to get away with the bare minimum, shrugging over mistakes, literal theft, you name it, they're defined by rare, immovable integrity and a commitment to the customer experience. Their crews are kind, respectful, and efficient, and 99% of their work is top quality on the first pass. (They fix the 1% on the backside). They won't gouge you. Their quote was reasonable; the only contractor I talked to who came in significantly lower was shady af and just trying to get my business. Better Together are actually the only contractors I'm aware of who create a payment schedule designed to protect the customer. You don't pay for a stage or step until you pass inspection and/or that step is completed. Based on the horror stories I've heard, every friend who's ever hired a general contractor has lived to regret it, seemingly, except my friend who recommended Better Together to me. She and her husband hired them to fix some non-permitted/shoddy work in a converted garage and update their kitchen. They told me BTB was honest, fast, and did great work. Sounded too good to be true but after meeting with several contractors (including one who clearly paid for positive Yelp reviews) I signed a contract with them in June '24 to convert my 72-year-old attached garage into a permitted ADU studio + laundry room and to swap a shower stall for a tub in my guest bathroom. My jobs are 95-99% done. My ADU is stunning. One day I'll come back and add pictures. Better Together and their subcontractors and craftsmen did gorgeous work, and once they started they were so damn fast. The final punch list is taking longer than I'd like but I was warned about the drip-drip-drip at the end of a project. Seems pretty standard. My guest bath is nearly done, just navigating a few unexpected wrinkles. There have been bumps in the road, of course, but there are always going to be bumps because things go wrong, things break, mistakes and miscommunications happen, no one is perfect. A majority of the disconnects on my project were simply an indirect result of the hand-off from my sales point of contact (Nikki, who's great - I felt comfortable with her from day one) to my day-to-day project manager (Sam, an actual earthbound angel). Most of the larger miscommunications occurred at the start of the project when a million things were happening simultaneously. In retrospect, I have ample grace, though FWIW: If I had to do this all over again knowing what I know now, I'd want a project manager (Sam and only Sam forever) involved from jump, to go over the details at the contract phase and be in all the conversations from that day forward to avoid things slipping between the cracks. Here's what really, really matters though: Every time anything's gone sideways, a mistake was made, or there was a problem that needing solving, Better Together was there. Sam is a diplomat, a warrior, a therapist, and a tough negotiator. On at least three occasions she fixed an issue with a vender I'd purchased finishing supplies from because they were giving me the runaround. She's always available when I need her (within reason - no one deserves weekends more), communicates clearly, stays calm, makes a plan, and advocates for me. She is patient, kind, and just obviously loves her job, as hard as it has to be. I would've been completely lost without her. I'm grateful to Alon for knowing I needed her, and for doing right by me time and time again. Most companies...maybe all other companies...would've shrugged their shoulders half a dozen times or more by now, hid behind fine print, or lied to get out of doing something that wouldn't result in a profit. Alon and Better Together are just different. They genuinely care more about you being happy than moving on to the next payday. That ethos is reflected in everything they do. The transparency and accountability are staggering. I'm also grateful to Yossi, Sapphire, Leonardo, Martin, Ismael, Melvin, Alex, Stan, Denis, and everyone whose names I don't know. Professional and thoughtful from start to finish. Even on the hard days. I'm an anxious and impatient person...not well suited for long periods of construction...and can confidently say I would've crashed out many times throughout this process with any other contractor. 100,000,000/10. I can't recommend them more highly and will always bring them my business (if they aren't sick of me...which they probably definitely are). read more
