    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    New kitchen! Very open and feels much larger.

    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.

Fast forward to present day and time to replace 30yr old original carpeting upstairs. Because our prior experience with Fleury's went so well, naturally we returned to them for phase 2. I started with Chris at the store to present the project and he made suggestions for makers and brands to best match the Brazilian Cherry we had downstairs. Patrick was up next with onsite inspection, measurements, and bringing over samples. A complementary (and upgraded) product was chosen and install timeline was set. Javier and Kiko were next on the scene and took only 5 days to demo carpet, prep and level subfloor, and install flooring and baseboards in 4 bedrooms and a hallway. Patrick came by a couple times to check on progress and made a great suggestion to add additional underlayment. That - combined with their tried and proven method of gluing and nailing down the floor - made for the most solid-feeling hardware floor installation I've ever encountered. I'm a pretty picky customer, so when I tell you their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and finish skills are top notch - believe it. Prices and labor these days are pretty much standard all around. But if you receive this level of workmanship and flawless results, you sleep better knowing you made the right decision. Can't say enough about my experience with Fleury's. 10/10

Fleury's has been in business for decades and the folks there really know their profession. They thoroughly explained the options for what we needed and we were able to find the right fit for the right price. They installed new flooring for our kitchen and dining area and new carpeting in the bedrooms, halls and living room. The installing crew were really careful, thorough and skillful. We couldn't have worked with more competent people who were also easy to communicate with. They made sure to ask us if there was any question about any aspect of the installation. Always on time and very polite. We highly recommend Fleury's.

Jonathan was an incredible person and super nice - really personable and his wife was also the most responsive person ever - always quick to answer questions and provide the quote/invoice right away as promised. I hired them to finish up flooring since I had some injuries and couldn't finish up the work and their quality and speed was phenomenal. I have an eye for attention to detail and their crew was above and beyond in how they did the flooring, going the extra mile for things that normally would be a quick shortcut for contractors hoping the customer would miss it but they didn't take any shortcuts. They were reasonably priced - not the highest or the lowest quote but Jonathan was what sold us on the work and we're more than happy to have gone with him and have recommended him to other neighbors. There's a reason why they are so backed up with work! They're popular for a good reason. They're finishing up the work today and the guys are respectful, clean up after themselves and super nice to chat with. Definitely would recommend Jonathan and his crew to anyone looking to have the best flooring done the right way. Just like their slogan says!

This year, I wanted to replace the carpet throughout the house with the same. After getting several bids, it was clear that CCH was the best price BY FAR. They even worked with me and the manufacturer to get extra discounts since I would need to redo the kitchen as well to match the latest LVP version. They finished the job (~1900 sqft) in just about 4 days and they even helped move many items including disassembling my master bed, at no additional cost! The team is super respectful, and the attention to detail (while not perfect) far exceeds what I would expect given their competitive price point. I am also really impressed with Mark's responsiveness over text, providing updates and responding to concerns - including after hours! His and his team's level of customer service, again, is really top tier. For example, when his team accidentally broke a couple of ethernet cables, he offered to deduct the cost from the bill right away. And at the end of the job, he encouraged me to compile a punch list of any issues that needed to be addressed in a return visit, which should happen very soon. Despite pretty much all of the work being finished - he has not asked for the 2nd half follow up payment yet - not until they complete the punch list at the followup visit. Really commendable company! I also love the music the install team plays during their work (they are also willing to turn it off if the customer needs it quite). So I was thrilled that they were willing to send me the youtube play list. Happy to recommend this company for your next flooring needs! I may even be trying them out for a bathroom remodeling project soon via their partnered remodeling company. Fingers crossed!
