After finding a major leak from an exterior wall, we invited half a dozen contractors to come out…read moreand estimate a fix. Clearly it was going to be a very large - and, of course, completely unexpected - project. We felt a ton of pressure to find the right balance of cheap, fast, and - most importantly, this being a major structural wall of our home - good. Given how critical and involved the job was, we needed to have confidence every step of the way. From the get-go, Marlon provided that. From the initial estimate, it was clear that J O Builder doesn't cut corners and wants to do the job right. Where some of the other contractors proposed patchwork solutions that would likely have resulted in having the same problem again in five or ten years. Ignacio from J O estimated a more comprehensive job that would avoid that. J O isn't just interested in securing a job but rather taking care of your home as well as if it were their own. Marlon, Ozny, Daniel, and the rest of the team were always incredibly responsive and understood our concerns immediately. They were able to talk us through any concerns we had throughout the job and proactively gave us a heads up on what was coming next so we were never surprised by anything. When the job was finished, our wall was in better shape than ever, with better insulation and a clean facade inside and out, as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile we know it's built well and will last a long time, and we had confidence at every step of the way. We'll be reaching out to Marlon again for all our future jobs. If you want your job done right, I strongly recommend that you do too.

This is our second time hiring Marlon and his team for work on our home. Earlier this year, we had…read morea drywall issue, and they handled it with precision from start to finish. We met with a few different contractors for quotes, some offered slightly cheaper pricing but after speaking with them, we knew Marlon and his team were the right choice. When you're having a project done in your home, trust is everything, and we trust them 100%. Even during heavy rain, they were able to keep working by setting up a tarp tent over the work area, which kept things clean and minimized disruption to our neighbors. This time, we had our whole house painted, our entrance door replaced, and our porch tiled. Once again, they delivered excellent results. Our new entrance door looks beautiful, and the paint job is phenomenal. I feel like we have a brand-new home. We will definitely hire them again for future renovations, no doubt! They are fast, meticulous, and truly trustworthy.

When he suggested a recessed ceiling after removing most of the walls in my living room, the result was stunning--it made the space look taller and more open. He also went above and beyond by trying different primers on my family room ceiling until it achieved the perfect, smooth finish, even when the difference was hard to notice. I absolutely love his work. The final results were exactly what I envisioned, if not better. Beyond the renovation, Paul has continued to help me maintain my home, always ready to assist whenever I have questions. I will definitely turn to him for any future remodeling projects!

Nathan and his team are fantastic…read more I worked with Nathan on a full-gut, fully permitted renovation project. Having talked to multiple GCs to get quotes, it was clear Nathan had a very honest and reasonable approach. He also was happy to show his previous work as an example. It's also a great sign that he has a good relationship with his past client, and I can see why, now being one of them. Even after the project had mostly finished, Nathan was still helping to touch up any minor issues the previous client had. This amount of service really convinced me Nathan was the right person to go with. Nathan worked with me diligently throughout the planning phase, addressing any hiccups. He is also great at handling inspections and it was completely hands-off from me, which gave me great peace of mind. During construction, his team worked quickly, efficiently, and with high quality. He and the foreman had a great understanding of construction techniques and would explain in detail exactly what we needed to do. This gave me a great understanding of what exactly was going on in my house and give me confidence in the construction quality. Nathan was flexible with schedule. We were able to meet almost every week during the critical times and every other week otherwise to go over updates and scope of work. When needing to hit critical deadlines, Nathan and his team delivered. When decision points came up, we would go over options and he would give his advice. We were always able to quickly come to a decision. When issues came up during the build that required going a more expensive than expected route, Nathan often quietly addressed them without adding an extra charges. While I tried my best to avoid changes in scope, they inevitably come up. Some of these things Nathan covered for me. For everything else we were always able to find a reasonable path forward. When I pointed out small quality issues, Nathan didn't hesitate to get them addressed. The attention to detail is great - we acclimated the hardwood, beautifully mitered waterfall edges, installed clean under cabinet lighting, got the walls down super smooth and touched up all imperfections, custom arches were clean and perfectly curved, trims and baseboards were seamless - the list goes on. He also has a great network of skilled laborers and suppliers that all help reduce the cost a little and ensure expert quality. While the overall schedule did push out a bit (which seems inevitable in construction), the end result was worth the wait and I'm overall very happy with the quality of work and finishes. I think the best thing with Nathan is that it makes the stressful process of home renovation as stress-free as possible, and you can be rest assured he will get you across the finish line with a result that you will be happy with.

I'd like to begin by saying that we had hired Nathan as project manager once before to remodel our…read moremaster bathroom. Because we were so happy with the entire process of that job, we wanted him to handle our kitchen remodel as well. The kitchen turned out great and we are very happy with the result but there were a few problems along the way. Ours was a pretty straightforward remodel, we wanted to paint our kitchen cabinets which were original to the home built in 1969, place new porcelain countertops with a waterfall at two ends, replace the vinyl flooring with porcelain planks, and repaint the walls and ceiling. Our kitchen is a rather small galley type kitchen, so the project wasn't huge, and was expected to be completed within 5-6 weeks. Things got off to a slow start, the installation of the floor took 5 days, and didn't include the grouting which was accomplished by a different employee on a separate day, so it actually took 6 days. The installer did a nice job, but was exceedingly slow. The flooring was covered with construction paper to protect it before the grout had been cleaned off, so when it did come time to clean it, the grout had completely dried, and was difficult to remove, and took an additional full day to complete. It was estimated that 3 slabs of porcelain would be needed for the counters, but we wanted to buy an extra slab because the veining on the porcelain we had selected was complex, and we wanted the sections to flow as perfectly as possible. After the countertops were installed, which turned out amazingly well, a crack developed in one section that ran from the front of the counter all the way to the wall. Nathan was great about the whole thing and agreed to obtain another slab in order to replace it, which he did. Almost immediately, the replaced section developed a crack in exactly the same spot as the first. It was at this point that it was realized that our counters weren't perfectly flat and level, nor were they sufficiently rigid, which is a must for porcelain slabs as they are somewhat fragile. After some adjustments which included the addition of an underlayer of Hardie board and some reinforcement of the counters structure to increase the rigidity, a 3rd section was placed. The matching of the veining was not as perfect as the first installation. This was disappointing, but we would have accepted that, however, because the height of the counter had been raised due to the installation of the Hardie board underneath, the waterfall end was no longer long enough to reach the floor. Without consulting us, the fabricator spliced on a narrow strip at the floor level which did not match the veining at all and noticeably stood out. I messaged Nathan right away, and he agreed that this was not an acceptable solution, and agreed to obtain even more counter material to replace the waterfall section. At this point I was becoming slightly annoyed and asked that two slabs be obtained so that the entire section of countertop, the waterfall as well as the next section which adjoined the piece that had cracked twice could once again be matched to the level that the original installation had obtained, and without hesitation, Nathan agreed, and much to his credit, and the craftsmanship of the fabricator, the 4th attempt came out beautifully, and we are delighted with the way it now looks. The project ended up taking a little more than 9 weeks instead of 6, however, because the installation took longer than expected, we had to halt progress for 4 days for a previously planned vacation, and an additional 2 days when we had another pressing matter to attend to that was originally scheduled to be beyond the expected completion date, so that six days was on us but only necessary because the project ran longer than anticipated. I was going to rate the job as 4 stars because of the problems with the porcelain installation, but because Nathan was so understanding and easy to work with, and went the extra mile to ensure a quality job in the end, we decided to give True Builders the full 5 stars. To sum up, we are delighted with our new kitchen, but we think that a lot of the delay and frustration could have been avoided if someone had checked to ensure that our cabinets were suitable for the installation of porcelain slabs prior to the actual installation. Despite that, the work was completed to our satisfaction, and Nathan was terrific throughout the entire process, we couldn't be happier with the end result.

I can't tell you how grateful I am to have found AW Construction…read more With the entire state of California on fire, and with smoke from the Camp fire seriously degrading the air quality on the Peninsula, I was anxious that my elderly parents had been unable to find filter masks anywhere--every store had sold out completely. A friend recommended trying to call a construction company, and although AW was 30 minutes away from closing up shop for the day, they picked up the phone, and immediately their contractors agreed to donate a few extra masks to my family, even offering to drive and meet us to pass the masks off after work had ended. Everyone I spoke to was friendly and professional, not at all bothered by going out of their way after hours to help absolute strangers in another town. I was so touched and blown away by their selflessness. I look forward to contracting them for work on my home. Thank you so much, AW! You've got a customer and fan for life.

We hired Halo builders for a major project that involved addition of 4 new windows, 2 new…read moreconstruction doors, four shear walls, and foundation work. The team did a fantastic job: the work was high-quality and their time estimates were mostly accurate. We had a good experience right from the start. When we were getting estimates, we found that many builder companies would send program managers and salespeople for the initial consult. With HALO Builders, the owner, Dor, personally stopped by, and we had an in-depth discussion about the project and its details. The experience continued and during the project, Dor consistently updated us about the progress and next steps, which kept us well-informed. One of the challenges we faced was accessing the wall behind a recently-remodeled bathroom to convert it into a double-sided shear wall. When we hit this hiccup, Dor provided consistent feedback and even scheduled a free consult with his structural engineer to explore our options. He tried to find ways to avoid impacting the bathroom by working with the engineer and the city to revise the permit, but ultimately, we concluded redoing that bathroom was the best solution. Since the bathroom had been recently remodeled, we wanted to change nothing there. Their task was to remove the mirror, vanity, decorative tiles, medicine cabinets, and toilet in order to access the wall, make the necessary shear wall changes, and then reconstruct the bathroom exactly as it was. They did an incredible job preserving the design and working with the limited spare tiles we had. They fully saved the vanity, countertop, and most of the features, which resulted in significant cost savings. Once this hiccup was behind us, the team continued and finished the work in a timely manner. Our house is brighter thanks to the new windows and doors, and stronger thanks to the shear walls and foundation work. Last but not least, we were impressed by the team's attention to the final touch ups and multiple walk throughs to make sure nothing was missed. We highly recommend HALO Builders and will definitely reach out for future projects. Big thank you to Dor and the team!
