After filing a complaint with the contractor's licensing office new doors were put in that matched the original doors and track system. The subcontractor did a great job of ensuring I could access the laundry detergent drawer. He even got the door to move further left so I didn't need to hold the door while opening the detergent drawer. This was done at no charge to rectify the previous issues noted. I agreed not to pursue the issue with the paint color as part of the agreement. Lisa was great in handling this job and ensuring the work was completed quickly. I appreciate her professionalism. I am very happy with the completed project. read more

Very well organized and great work! I asked Built Right to help identify a possible water leakage issue and then fix it and repair the floor. It all went perfectly and I'm confident that the issue has been fixed. read more

I have nothing but positive reviews for Carlos, Luz and Lisa. My husband and I woke up one morning to find a faucet pipe burst and our entire kitchen was flooded. Our insurance company contracted with Built Right to remediate the damage and rebuild. From beginning to end, Carlos and his team were AWESOME. They were highly communicative and friendly as they went back and forth between us and our insurance company. The subcontractors were incredible. They demolished our kitchen floor to the studs and then rebuilt our kitchen EVEN BETTER than our original. All of the subcontractors were very respectful of our home and and so incredibly nice, and they ensured that we were happy with their work every step of the way. We were out of our home for about 6 months, which was very stressful, but working with Built Right was such a great experience that I want to continue working with them on other projects in our home. Highly recommend!!! read more

We needed an estimate for repair of some dry rot behind the stucco of our house. Carlos was very punctual when he came out to inspect the house, gave us some great ideas on how to optimally repair the damage and how best to replace with materials which would lend to avoiding similar issues in the future. This quote was quite detailed and professional and his costing was fair. read more

I can't recommend Built Right more highly. I bought my first home in September and decided to do a kitchen renovation before I moved in, not really understanding what I was getting myself into. The house also had some extensive termite damage that I needed to get remediated. I called in several contractors to make bids. Built Right was the only company that had consistent follow through on communication, which was an indicator of their professionalism. I decided to go with them and their professionalism continued throughout the project. Chuck managed my project beautifully. Even when there was a snafu with the countertops (out of their control) they were very transparent about what was going on and did everything in their power to make it right. Carlos, the owner, came by personally to explain the issue to me and how they were going to handle it. Despite the snafu, they finished within the time frame Chuck estimated at the beginning of the project. They worked extra hours to make sure I had a working kitchen before the Thanksgiving holiday. They paid very close attention to detail and made sure all loose ends were tied off without me having to follow up with them about any of it. I really can't think of anything to critique them on. They were working under difficult circumstances, obviously, with Covid and with me moving into the house (and working from home) three weeks before the renovation was complete. All the workers were so pleasant, professional and respectful. It was actually kind of nice to have them around despite having to work through Covid protocols.  I am so grateful to have found Built Right as I have heard horror stories about other contractors. My projects couldn't have gone more smoothly and I'm already under contract for them to replace my windows in the new year. There is no doubt I will be using them for all my future projects including a new deck, bathroom reno/addition, and garage conversion. read more

They replaced a water damaged part of a floor and replaced a new side door near the floor. They did an excellent job and they were very professional. We were very pleased and plan to use them again. Highly recommend this company. read more

Built Right Construction & Design did an outstanding job on my kitchen remodel! Since the initial phone conversation with Carlos, he was professional and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and made us feel we were in safe hands. They provided great advice and went the extra mile to recommend their trusted vendors to help me pick out design materials, such as, countertops, backsplash, flooring, etc. Carlos and team worked hard remodeling my kitchen and did an amazing job executing our vision. They kept us in the loop at all times and we appreciated the communication throughout the process. We will use them again and would highly recommend them for your upcoming remodeling projects. read more

Yelp provided a few companies according to my request to fix a water damage caused by roof leak. I chose Built Right Construction because I liked their plan of actions the most: first "deeply" clean the the roof to detect the damaged area and only then fix the damaged area. I'm very happy with that decision because the whole work was done in only 2 days, I've got not only the fix, but also a cleaned root and gutters, and the price was even lower than from other competitors that only guessed what part should be repaired and didn't include roof and gutters cleaning, Thanx a lot, Carlos and the team. read more

We hired Built Right to renovate our master bathroom after a hidden leak sent water cascading through the ceiling of the room below. Built Right was one of four companies we had come out, and we went with them because: 1. Their quote was competitive. 2. Their pricing and bidding process was transparent. Their bid had a long list of all the steps and items to be completed whereas the other companies just gave a single number for the whole project. 3. They asked great questions during the first walk-through and made good suggestions for things we might want that we hadn't thought about yet. They did great work, taking the room down to the studs, ripping up two old floors, and then rebuilding it completely with tile for the shower and floor, new framing around the window, new lights, and with an added exhaust. Through the whole process Built Right was great at communicating. As with every project, you discover things when you open the walls that force you to change your plans, and our renovation was no exception. Built Right would walk us through what they found and the possible options for fixing it. Their work was completed on time and looks great. They were even really patient as we changed some minor things near the end of the build. We are very happy with our new bathroom and would definitely hire Built Right again for our next project. read more

Carlos and his team did a great job renovating our house. From start to finish, Carlos was responsive and his team was punctual. They worked on our house for over a month with several additional projects added to the scope of work. I was very pleased with the cost of work vs. competition, without any sacrifice to quality of work. Carlos was very accommodating and made sure to communicate any updates so we were understanding of the entire process. We updated Kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, bar, fireplace and all rooms flooring. We get compliments whenever someone walks through our home and sees the transformation. I would recommend Built Right construction to anyone looking for quality work at a good value. read more

Carlos and his crew - Felipe, Hector, and everyone else, did an amazing job remodeling both of our bathrooms. They were all very professional, quick to respond to and address any questions I had, and very thorough in their work. No detail was overlooked and they were more than willing to accommodate my many small extra asks. This is actually the second time I have used Built Right, since the first time I used them they finally fixed an issue that a few other contractors failed to fix (leaky window/entire stucco wall). I will definitely use them again next time I need more work done - can't beat the price, quality of work, professionalism, and they are just straight up cool fun people to work with! read more

Short: Great team, great crew. Thorough, thoughtful, responsive, reasonable, and skilled. They did a great job on our bathroom repair and remodel, despite short notice and having to squeeze us into an already busy schedule. I know how hard it is to find a contractor you're legitimately HAPPY with. This is that contractor. Long: Our shower pipes (behind the wall) in our condo apparently had been leaking for some time, and the downstairs neighbors' ceilings were getting destroyed. We needed to get the work done fast but right; we'd just bought a house, and were tying to put the condo on the market. I asked my colleagues for a contractor referral, and they RAVED about Carlos and Chuck at Built Right, whom they had used for a major house remodeling. They'd heard about Built Right from their friends, who'd also used them for a major home remodel. Despite the short notice, given the circumstances, Carlos scheduled us in and got a team in to gut our bathroom, find the leak, and replace the corroded pipes. From there, they put in a new shower/tub, floor tiles, and shower tiles, and repainted the vanity and bathroom walls. Our once dated bathroom now looks great! This was our first time embarking on a project like this; Carlos and team were hands on and guided us through the process. They met us at Lowe's and helped us pick out the floor and wall tiles and grouts. If you know what you're doing, you can pick up all of the materials yourself. But if you need a hand, Built Right goes the extra mile to make sure the project is working for you, and isn't bottlenecked by a bunch of errands you might not have time to run and aren't confident about doing right. They also worked around our needs and budget. In this case, we weren't looking to make the fanciest dream bathroom, so they helped us pick materials and a style that looked nice and would last without breaking the bank. No upselling for unnecessary frills. Work was done quickly and carefully. It took 2 weeks, but only because the July 4 holiday fell right in the middle. I strongly recommend Built Right. Our new house has a variety of small and large work that needs to get done; we're happy to have Built Right on our side for that work too! read more

In early 2022 I discovered water damage on the walls of my front room. After interviewing 4-5 contractors I chose Carlos and his team, to diagnose, demolish, and renovate what turned into pretty much the whole 2000+ sq. ft. of my house. I discerned that Carlos was knowledgeable, trustworthy, hard-working, resourceful, and would bend over backwards to do what needed to be done in a timely manner. I was not disappointed. Although I'd not experienced anything like this before (it wasn't easy living through it), Carlos stepped up to be present when needed, kept the project moving forward, and made sure the work was done professionally. Along the way, I learned that I needed to assert my observations and wishes. Carlos found ways to create and re-create what I desired. He was not the least costly nor most expensive option. I did find that I needed to keep my own records to make sure we were in agreement, as he had multiple projects going at the same time. He was very gracious when there was an oversight. I tried to stay on top of having needed materials to do my part in moving things forward. With shipping issues, I extended myself to drive when needed in order to get what I wanted. Carlos is very ambitious and always seeking ways to improve his business, as well as himself personally. We became friends along the way as he is very personable, and sincerely cares. I would not hesitate to recommend Carlos and his team for whatever project you need done. Painting, laminate flooring, carpeting, baseboards, light and blind replacements, along with rebuilding walls and repairing damage under the gutters, and tile work , and other odd jobs were all part of the 7-8 week project. read more

" The short end of it is that I called a contractor to replace my roof as it was that time to replace it. The contractor who will remain anonymous came out and did a disastrous job. This project started back in January 2023, in the mid of the rainy season, and yes what happened next is exactly what your thinking, the company was midway done installing the roof, stopped because of the rain and the tarp they used to protect the roof failed and water came into many parts of my home. So upsetting.... I lost complete trust in the company and decided to call a water mitigation company called Built Right Construction & Design. Carlos came out and was wonderful. When I was at a loss of what the best next step to remediate this problem, Carlos provided his expert advice and assistance to get things done correctly. He assisted in filing a claim to keep the other contractor accountable in the case they wouldn't want to take responsibility. My adjuster was very pleased to work with Carlos, and Carlos worked very well with my roofing contractor to make sure that the property was correctly dry to prevent mold from growing. Carlos even detected other water intrusion points and did the correct repairs to keep water from coming in. Built Right Construction & Design provided a great experience and assistance with everyone involved in resolving my misfortune due to another contractor's bad work. I highly recommend Carlos and his company to get things done correctly and professionally. They show genuine interest and care about my situation and I'm very happy with the services they provided. Thanks again to Carlos and his Team!" read more

Chuck, Carlos and his team remodeled the entire interior of our house these past few months. We went down to the studs in every room and replaced all new drywall, electrical, plumbing, doors, addressed structural concerns and even helped me move appliances and furniture as the project moved room to room. Either one of them was at my house every single day going over any concerns and laying out their team for day. Despite a ton of changes and adds they were patient, reasonable and flexible throughout the whole process. Mike is their master carpenter, make sure to request him on your project as he is great! read more

This was the right contractor to call. We've all heard horror stories about contractors, but Carlos Lopez, the owner, is a standup guy, always easy to reach, responsive and transparent. We had a few glitches while installing new flooring but it was never a problem to resolve. The workmen were all friendly, respectful and hard-working, and cleaned up working areas at the end of every day. Carlos cared about how I felt about the results and always treated me as if I were a dear friend. How rare is that? He lives by the Golden Rule, and my trust in him was rewarded. I'd definitely use his services again. And I just might invite him over for coffee or a drink - he's that great! read more

Carlos and his team were great to work with! Very responsive and adjusting availability to suit my schedule really helped in getting the project done. While the project was small in scope (kitchen appliance upgrade) there were a lot of moving pieces and small jobs required to get everything in place, which Carlos coordinated smoothly. I would use them again! read more

Carlos and Chuck are awesome! Their company is very responsive and I always felt like I was kept in the loop for our prospective project. They were able obtain builder plans from the city to help me make an informed decision about converting a bedroom into a loft. When I was exploring options, Build Right Renovation was the only one that was consistent with following up. They explain everything clearly and make me feel confident about recommending them to others! read more

I really like the workers and the quality of their workmanship. The average rating is really for the project manager and their office staff. After signing the contract, we get an invite for a walkthrough for X date and an invoice for the deposit. The deposit is in the wrong amount and the date is wrong as well (even though we emailed about the start date earlier with the Project Manager Chuck). We respond to their admin staff. They change the date of the walkthrough. We get a follow-up email from the finance staff that they haven't received payment yet. Well, the walkthrough date was still in the future and you only pay by check. They apologize for the confusing email. - I wish they would have paid attention to details more. The walkthrough happens - Project Manager Chuck walks his foreman around the house to detail the work. I text Chuck that we would like the portable toilet to be located behind the house. He said he would contact the toilet company. The portable toilet is delivered right in front of the house the next day. - I don't know if he really contacted the toilet company. Project begins - the toilet is a dead giveaway we are renovating. The city comes and tells us we need to move the toilet and they serve us a notice to stop work because we don't have permits (Project Manager said we didn't need it). Project Manager talks to the city and tells them an incorrect reason for our project and the city wants to cut open the ceiling that we just patched. We have to call Chuck and clarify the cause of the work. We are stressed and we don't hear from the project manager all day until we follow up because the workers are continuing progress. The city did relent and permts aren't needed but it would have been nice for him to tell us. - communication seems really important in these projects and I don't know if our project was too small to warrant that attention We ask for a quote for a fence replacement. Project Manager says he will get it to us (he has another big deal going on) the next day. That's fine. He keeps saying he will get it to us for the next 5 days. Our original project is finished, we pay up, and he still says he'll get us the quote. - we never get the fence quote The team of workers is great. Work looks great. Communication with Project Manager and admin staff was lacking and frustrating, he didn't follow up on things he said he would do like the fence quote or telling us the city permit issue was resolved. Communication and follow-through is important with home renovation projects. Although I like their work, I wouldn't work with them again because of the lack of attention to details, communication and follow through. read more

We hired another contractor to do our kitchen remodel, and they subcontracted Carlos' company (so Built Right did all the actual work). The direct contractor turned out to be absolutely awful (they were not paying Carlos and they kept us in the dark for a lot of problems). This easily could have blown up and destroyed the entire project. But Carlos has integrity, vision, and dedication. He worked with me to get the project finished, and I really appreciate his honesty and work ethic. When we were unhappy with something, he fixed it. He listened to what we wanted, and was happy to adjust if we asked for something different. We also did full permits through the City of Oakland (complete headache) and they passed all inspections. This was a pretty complex, large job as we were moving all of the appliances so they had to change the plumbing, electrical, and gas completely (sink, fridge, oven, etc). The entire project would have been 110% better if we had just directly contracted with Carlos. Every single person in his team was very respectful and hard working. They did an awesome job. read more

I first contacted Carlos through yelp's project page for closing off a loft space to convert it to a stand alone room. He responded right away with a rough estimate on cost and timelines. Once Carlos got out on site we expanded the project to also include a kitchen remodel. He happily adjusted his bid and timelines to meet our schedules. Carlos was quick and responsive to any issues that arose during the renovation and made sure to stay within budget. If you are looking for home renovator where you already know exactly what you want Carlos is for you. He will find every way to give you the highest quality materials while still passing the savings off to you. read more

Hey guys, I looked for some good contractor in my area and after a deep research and I filtered a few of them because miscommunication or kind of words like: I will call you back and never did, for me it is already a problem even without starting any job with them. no one want it, not me anyway. So I found Carlos and his team. WOW. great team really high quality of result. it was a fabulous communication!! he even offered me to come to a job site to see the job and the team working. Clean job, great explanation for any question I had so we absolutely will work together! and I will update my result by pics after the projects. thanks Carlos! read more

Had electrical panel moved out of closet to make it compliant with current code. I also had a sub panel and gfci circuit and separate 240 power line ran to new Swim Spa I had installed. The electirical work was completed within two days and the workers were very thorough and made sure I understood what was being done and how. The master bedroom needed the heavy furniture moved out, carpet pulled up and discarded and the new hardwood flooring installed. After floor was complete the heavy furniture was moved back into the room by the workers. All debris hauled away and room clean and free of dust from construction. read more

FIRE TO FABULOUS! We had a fire at our condo in Concord. Condo occupies 2nd and 3rd floor of a 3 story building. Fire started on 3rd floor and the actual fire damaged was contained to that floor thanks to Concord Fire Department, however the smoke and water damage went throughout the entire unit. Built Right Construction was extremely responsive from the moment I called. They made a priority visit to meet with me on a Saturday morning so that no time was wasted. Professionally and proficiently they worked with the HOA, my insurance company and negotiated the proper repairs every step of the way. They worked to protect my interest by taking moisture readings, asbestos and other cautionary testing to ensure that all required repairs both visible and not immediately visible were accounted for and completed to protect our total interest, and that the repairs would be made with the highest level of integrity and quality. They completed the mitigation and repairs end to end. A true full service company. Once repairs were agreed upon by Built Right and the insurance company they completely rebuilt the unit which had to be taken totally down to the wood framing. Their quality of work is exemplary. The team is personable, professional and thorough.They maintained consistency with repairs to ensure that they were completed as quickly as possible to minimize to the extent possible the displacement of our family. They truly cared about us and saw us as people not just a business opportunity. To anyone looking to secure a company for repairs from minor to a complete rebuild I would highly recommend this company to you. Carlos you and your team are the highest calibre! Superlative! Truly the best! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! read more

As we expected, the 1973 townhouse might not have everything we would require. We quickly did the investigation and decided by lunch that we needed to open up the ceiling and install a substantial header. In the second room, there was enough support but we needed to sister to the existing joist to carry the load. We had one big trip for a large material supply. We thought 4 days, it became 7 days that included materials runs read more

On time, on budget, responsive, meticulous...everything we could have wanted in a builder. We found these guys through yelp and hired them to remove a wall between our kitchen and living room.

If you are looking for a contractor for your home renovation, and you're going through yelp, I'd very much recommend them. read more

The final product looked great. We had popcorn ceilings removed and BRR patched, skimmed and smoothed everything (Level 4) before painting the ceilings. They were able to quickly re-assess when we found that there was concrete instead of drywall behind much of the ceiling. Unlike other contractors who gave us estimates, BRR wanted to come and check out the space beforehand and their level of communication was great for this kind of project. Definitely not the cheapest estimate we got, but worth it for the level of finish and professionalism. read more

I hired Carlos because of his enthusiasm towards my project, and his responsiveness and energy. He was on top of things throughout the project. He has very good leadership and technical skills, and his crew respect and look up to him. Great communication. Knowledgeable, explained the work well as the project progressed. I appreciate this because I want to understand how everything is done. Work was completed on time, without demand, and to agreed specification. His price quote for labor was reasonable. I chose to buy most materials online from Lowe's and he picked them up first day. Staggered payments, and complete by last day. No project is without challenges, but it all worked out fine. Personable, smart, earns your trust. I will hire him again. read more

This was my first home renovation and I was very nervous. But Carlos and his crew were so professional, informative, and friendly that I knew I was in good hands. The project turned out beautifully - better than I could have even imagined. My property is also vintage, which introduced some odd challenges, like a sloping floor and odd wiring. I had to live in the unit during the renovation, which made it challenging, but I always felt comfortable with the crew in my home. They were always friendly and respectful, and I enjoyed my morning conversations with them. I strongly recommend this crew to anyone, especially if you're new to home reno. They have a whole lot of integrity, and a whole lot of heart. I'm happy to support this local business. read more
