CaliBuilder team did a complete bathroom remodeling for us. It took longer than expected (~ 6 months all together), but we loved the final result! This turned out to be a very detailed and complicated project with many moving parts. We ripped out the entire old bathroom including walls, ceiling, the floor, and redid everything from scratch. We also repositioned the bathtub, vanity, and redid the entire plumbing system. The project manager, Azeen was very responsive, involved and caring. Along the way, Azeen was always available to answer any of our project/progress related questions, to address our concerns, and to discuss next steps. Azeen jumped at resolving any issues, and she also helped with finished product selection, provided her advice and guidance on design. It was a pleasure to work with her. Despite some bumps, and challenges, which alway come up with any construction project, overall we are very happy that we've selected CaliBuilder for this project and we are fully satisfied with our new beautiful bathroom. One note - we've realized that the project success does not only depend on the professional and detail-oriented project manager but also on the skill and attention to detail of the workmen. Initially we had someone who did not seem to be as focused and often produced results below expectation, but then the new crew was amazing! We highly recommend this team! read more

We approached Calibuilder for our bathroom remodel after hearing great reviews from our neighbors. We worked with Azeen as our project manager. At the time, I was 32 weeks pregnant and hoping to have the remodel completed before our baby arrived. Azeen came over, listened carefully to our needs, and patiently discussed all the details with us. Our project was a like-for-like bathroom remodel, and Calibuilder's quote was competitive compared to other companies we considered. Knowing that our neighbors also had a great experience gave us confidence in choosing them. Throughout the project, we had a group chat with Azeen, where we documented all the finer details to ensure nothing was missed. This was incredibly helpful in keeping everyone aligned as the project progressed. Azeen also recommended a few stores for finishes and tiles--we went with Porcelanosa and are very happy with the final result. She prioritized our project, which we really appreciated given the baby could arrive any day. While there were a few things that initially didn't turn out the way we had hoped, calibuilder was responsive and came back to address and fix them. If you're particular about the small details, like we are, we recommend clearly communicating them upfront and documenting everything. Also, be sure to discuss any potential additional costs for smaller tasks that may not be included in the original quote to avoid surprises later. Overall, we're very satisfied with how our bathroom turned out. read more

Azeen and team are a pleasure to work with. Good attention to detail, effective communication, on time, with quality work. They gutted my old bathroom from beam to beam, and built a new oasis for me. Incredible tile work. I liked their work and extended to a laundry room and painting job. For the project, I compared five contractors and chose Calibuilder for the thoughtful questions they were asking and good value on the project. They weren't the cheapest, but not expensive either. I am very happy at the overall end result read more

A year and a half after I started working with Calibuilder, I'm glad that we worked with them, and satisfied with the final result. I would gladly refer them to our friends who want to remodel or build a custom home. For background, we have been working with a full service architecture studio to renovate and extend our home. The project architect had many nice ideas and thoughtful designs, and we were looking for a reasonably priced contractor who could (and would be willing to) communicate with a detail-oriented architect. We had already tried a contractor that, while reasonably priced, had difficulty and unwillingness to communicate with the architect and follow their guidelines. Alternative contractors who had experience with full service architects were either 50-100% more expensive or had a very long wait time to start or finish the house. When Ramin, the CEO of CaliBuilder was introduced to us, he understood and appreciated the custom and artful nature of our project from the get-go. He was passionate about good design, and loved all the details provided by the architect, viewing it as an advantage to reduce ambiguity in planning and execution of the project. The project architect was also very happy with the open communication style, responsiveness, and the fact that when facing an issue they would reach out to the architect with a "Request For Information", as opposed to deciding and executing on their own. All this was at the same time as providing an affordable price, a flexible timeline, and a commitment to finish the project on-time. The project was staffed almost round the clock, with various crews and subcontractors working in parallel as long as they were able to not step on each other's toes. CaliBuilder accepts a handful of projects in the Bay Area at any time, therefore their very nice site supervisor (Ari) can dedicate a good amount of high quality management for each project. CaliBuilder's awesome finish supervisor (Azeen) also spends high quality time on the job site, working with their crew and the architect to understand and execute on every detail of the project. Both Ari and Azeen have great rapport with their crew and have a good sense of what could be delegated to them and what needs their deeper involvement at the execution time. As with any construction project, there are always imperfections and mistakes. What matters is the ability of the builder to understand the reason for issues and take immediate remedial steps. CaliBuilder was great in this regard too. For example, when the newly installed Heat Pump malfunctioned on a cold winter Friday evening, they took immediate action, dispatching their crew to investigate and address the issue. CaliBuilder demonstrated their commitment to addressing raised issues throughout the project. To help with a smooth execution, here's my advice to the future clients of CaliBuilder: Make sure you communicate with the team (architect + builder) often, and respond to their questions early. Also make sure material is available and stored properly well in advance. Not blocking the crew is CaliBuilder's key to an affordable and high quality execution. If you are building a custom home, work with your architect and CaliBuilder to distinguish "typical" work vs "custom/uncommon" work, so everyone can be on the same page about sequencing and details of the work. For example, everyone knows how to sheetrock, mud, and paint a wall. So no specific sequencing guidance is needed. But if you are installing a light fixture or ceiling cladding that is not commonly installed, it's important to work as a team to ensure that subs/crew get the sequencing right. Trust the builder if they are asking you to stay away from certain materials or methods. They know their crew and subs the best. Work with the architect to find alternatives that the builder is comfortable with. Don't push with time. If the project is behind schedule for any reason, work with CaliBuilder to get an updated estimate of completion. But don't push your builder to change their practices and have many crews work at the same time. Out of the "time, quality, cost" triangle, you can only optimize two. Overall, I'm very happy that we had the opportunity to work with CaliBuilder, wish them success, and look forward to seeing their future projects. read more

Originally I was working with what I thought was a really modern, tech-savvy general contractor, "Company E". But after the design process (which went pretty smoothly), Company E without any real explanation transferred the construction portion of my contract to CaliBuilder. Initially I was befuddled as to why. Ultimately, I was GRATEFUL and FORTUNATE that it happened, as CaliBuilder was proactive with their expertise and professionalism from Day 1, and proved time and again to be superior to my prior GC, who it became more apparent were not experienced contractors. I would have suffered had my contract remained with Company E. A few (unfortunately of MANY) examples of Company E's inexperience/ineptitude that CaliBuilder caught and immediately addressed: 1). MEASUREMENTS: Company E required me at the beginning of the construction process to purchase materials via their website. It was convenient and customizable, but they didn't seem to review my choices. My sink was TOO BIG for my countertop; the upper cabinets were TOO LONG to fit over the bottom cabinets, which were TOO SHORT in relation to the wall; Company E was able to get my sink exchanged for the correct size, but to save time CaliBuilders and I pivoted and simply moved the upper cabinets to the opposite wall, and made modifications to the countertop and lower cabinet so that it fit the room properly. I would have avoided additional cost and time had Company E paid attention to important details; 2). SAFETY: My renovation was to convert our garage to a senior-friendly safe living space. And yet, Company E approved a purchase I had made on their website for a certain type of shower floor tile. Which, when the bathroom was being worked on, CaliBuilders pointed out that the floor tiles would be SLIPPERY when wet and therefore DANGEROUS. Company E would not exchange these tiles (they said it was too late) so I decided to keep them for future tile work (for a wall). Why could a GC not catch basic issue such as this, especially knowing it was meant for an elderly resident? 3). UNNEEDED ITEMS/QUANTITIES: With Company E's guidance I purchased laminated flooring plus necessary supplies AND unnecessary supplies. CaliBuilder's installer was puzzled why I had purchased so many rolls of underlayment for flooring that already had it incorporated into their planks. Had we used the underlayment, it would have VOIDED the warranty on the flooring. There were also way too little or too many gallons/units of paint and other items, despite the fact Company E had dimensions of the proposed rooms. Some items I was able to return for refund; some I had to take as a sunk cost (but again, potentially usable in future renovation projects); Anyway, I could not ask for a better team in CEO Ramin and Project Manager Ari. They were thorough, flexible, and patient in our multiple discussions and meetings (in person/via zoom/text/calls) -- with the numerous issues that inevitably come up during construction projects (both expected and unforeseen). They always provided me options on ways to tackle with pros/cons and costs, including drawings for clarity. I really appreciated we could together think outside the box to solve problems. Their invoicing system also was very helpful with detailed descriptions and progress to date, with the convenience of being able to pay by click of a button. LESSON: I learned the hard way NOT trust a fancy-looking website, even one with great reviews! Hard to tell sometimes with rating sites, but do your research on your potential GC. I for one felt CaliBuilder has more than come through with my expectations and needs that I already know I will be reaching out to them for future renovations, and I have recommended them unreservedly to friends and family. THANKS SO MUCH, Ramin and Ari! Looking forward to working with you again. I'm very grateful for the beautiful work your team has done for our garage conversion, including all the upgrades to electricity/plumbing/HVAC, in bringing our property up to code, and for putting up with soooo many frustrations, many of which started with my original GC. read more

Calibuilder was great. used them for a complex remodel, they handled timely delivery, were clear on change orders and gave options, and then looked for opportunities to go over and beyond. project completed to our satisfaction. read more

We had a very good tenant for 23 years in this 1bdrm/1bthrm unit at Woodlake. When he moved out, it was time to do a complete renovation. After interviewing 10 different contractors, there were only two really worth trusting with this project. I chose CaliBuilder because they demonstrated a keen eye for the work that needed to be accomplished and took the time to understand what I wanted. They were willing to work with my budget, and even though hidden problems were later discovered which increased the final cost, they were willing to work with us and change the work order with reasonable adjustments. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Azeen in particular. She is a project manager that stays on top of the work, jumps in when needed to follow-up on details, communicates as frequently as needed to make sure we're making the right decisions. She maintains a healthy leadership role with her various crews, and they respond readily to her directives, so I found not only the efficiency but the quality of work being done to be quite impressive. I highly recommend CaliBuilder for any remodel or renovation. We have additional projects down the road and will happily be calling them again. My review is without compensation; I believe great talent should be supported and businesses that operate with professionalism and integrity deserve to flourish. Everyone is blessed by businesses that are honest, respectful and highly competent. Thank you CaliBuilder for being a beacon of good business. read more

Calibuilder team provided great service. Quality of work is excellent. I will not hesitate to engage them in the future.

Calibuilder is helping me with major renovations on a two unit property I recently purchased. I couldn't have asked for better partners on this journey. Not only are they trusted advisors but I now consider the whole team friends. Ramin, Azeen, and Arash are knowledgeable, honest, and overall great people. Throughout the entire process they've demonstrated that they have my best interests in mind. Built in 1911, my property was in pretty bad shape. I interviewed 5 contractors (narrowed down from a list of 10 from yelp reviews, referrals, etc.) before making my decision. My primary selection criteria were price, vision/expertise, and someone who'd be a true partner. Overall costs were an important factor. Calibuilder was competitively priced- not the cheapest, nor most expensive option. Construction is not my field of expertise so most important to me was having a true partner. I needed someone I could trust and lean on. That's exactly what I got with Calibuilder starting with my first meeting with Ramin. He listened to my thoughts and provided recommendations and multiple options. As can be expected when working with such an old building, there were some surprises and bumps along the way. We overcame these because the communication was really great. Again, I always felt that they were trying to do what was best for me. Some before and after pics of the first unit are included. I will update this review when the second unit and exterior is complete. First unit is within budget and everyone that has seen it has raved about how beautiful it turned out! read more

I've never utilized this company. But I certainly will when the need arises. I was in need of a licensed scaffolding company to repair a fire sprinkler in a high (16') ceiling. Ramin put me on hold for a few minutes and came back with several referrals. I've contracted with one already. Thanks Ramin. read more

Overall it was great working with Calibuilders and specifically Azeen. She was on top of everything and was prompt, thorough with our home renovation project. Overall, would recommend. read more

We had a great experience with Ari, Azeen and the crew.  My wife and I were looking to expand our home with a bedroom and bathroom addition, aswell well as renovate our existing bathrooms.  What made us choose Calibuilder was their clear and concise communication, and attention to detail.  Besides providing a very competitive quote, they walked us through what to expect during the entire project and things to consider and prepare early in various phases, so we would be happy with the final product.   For us, communication and responsiveness is very important. From day one, we set up Slack to communicate, which allowed for real-time communication and ensured everyone is on the same page with expectations.  Secondly, their response is quick and they act with urgency, which was critical as we were living in the house and wanted to enjoy our reno as soon as possible. The crew was highly skilled and their work was delivered with great quality.  Working from home during construction allowed us to observe that they don't cut any corners, and takes extra measures to ensure our existing space is kept clean and protected. My wife and I are very happy with our renovation. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Azeen and her crew. In addition to creating a lovely bathroom space, they helped us navigate unexpected challenges that came up with the project (outside both our control) -- Azeen was unflappable, clear and honest with communication and helped keep us on track. And it was terrific to have her expertise and keen eye for design and details! Jorge's skill and craftsmanship also made all the difference. Highly recommend. read more

I really wanted to leave a stellar review for Calibuilder. I really did. But I didn't have a stellar experience. I wish I had the same experience as some of the other reviewers. Sure, he uses slack and other techy ways of communicating other contractors don't use... but I had issues reaching him when there were questions that needed to be answered. There was bad communication throughout the project, last minute messages to me about material I needed to get (as opposed to the scheduling another reviewer noted) and communications between myself to Ramin, then from him to the foreman that didn't get passed along. Perhaps my experience would have been different if, as promised upfront, Ramin would have brought in qualified tradesmen for each aspect of my project. Maybe if he would have used the tradesmen that came in to bid on different aspects of my project I wouldn't have had the issues I had. My new (squeaky, bowing under my weight) stairs only a couple months old that weren't installed properly, because maybe Ramin wanted to save a few bucks and paid his foreman to do them instead of the floor guy that bid on it. This was typical of my entire project. Two guys (expertise = framing, per the project manager) basically did the entire job (excluding tile guys). No floor guys coming in. No electricians. No plumbers. No painters. They would all come in to bid on the work, but I never saw them again. Just the two guys from start to finish. I can only assume he got a better deal to do the work from his foreman and his laborer. Of course this meant lackluster results in the fine touches needed for the finishing aspect of a job. Several rounds of me putting blue tape pointing out issues. Several rounds of the same guys coming to fix them. Until I complained hard enough at the end of the project they sent A painter to actually get some straight lines or fix the cracking crown moulding that looked like it was found in someone else's scrap yard and reused on my project, or a qualified tile guy to fix the fireplace tiles the foreman broke, or someone else to replace the new cabinet drawer fronts the foreman damaged while installing handles and tried to hide.... and then damaged again when replacements came in. Not to mention the windows that were placed incorrectly based on the blueprint, or a french door that I need to slam to close. So many things keep me from wanting to leave a good review. I really wanted to. But I didn't have a great experience. Final straw for me leaving this review is my stairs were installed by someone who doesn't know what he is doing. This was pointed out by a professional floor guy that came out to see what the problem was only 3 months after my job was done. He pointed out wedge supports placed underneath stairs with finishing nails holding them in place, gaps between stair tread and risers, nails that shouldn't be used for finishing and 1/4 round trim that was hiding all of these imperfections. He told me "this is faulty installation and should have been addressed during installation" . Refusal to fix these issues (not a problem with the stair framing, as verified by the floor guy that came out) is unacceptable. Sending the same guy that installed them and is not qualified to do such a job to fix his work is not acceptable. Calling out "bad framing" AFTER I complained about squeaky, bowing steps with gaps and construction nails going through a stair tread and covered up is not good business, when this is something that should have been pointed out DURING installation. At the very least, it shows poor quality of work, lack of project managing, and attention to detail. Also, setting a payment schedule, then asking for money before that scheduled payment so you can pay your guys is totally unprofessional and bad business. I haven't even gone into the other aspects... cutting/installing sheetrock and not walling off the existing part of the house we are trying to live in, coming home to a cloud of dust, everything covered in sheetrock dust, my 4 year olds toys, our couches, furniture, etc.... The fence that blew down this last storm because they didn't replace it back to it's original state when they were done...I could go on and on. read more

I work for a large well known developer in San Jose and typically use large commercial builders for all of my build outs. I met Ramin after he did a build out for one of our tenants and hired him to do a few jobs for me. He completed work in 3 retail spaces at Santana Row. He is fast, affordable and strives to make you happy. If he can work successfully at my properties where the expectations are very high, he can do any job. read more

We are a global IT company and decided to relocate to a 6000sf office in Santa Clara area recently. I met up with 9 builders and I'm so glad that I eventually chose Calibuilder. The owner Ramin is honest, smart, flexible and very punctual. I'd choose Calibuilder again and again if I needed to do it all over. - We wanted an open ceiling but we didn't have enough time to wait for a permit. Ramin was the only one who came up with a plan that made impossible things possible - by having a somewhat see-through ceiling. We didn't end up getting that for some other reason but i was very impressed by the way how he strives to meet his client's requirement. And this was BEFORE we decided to work with him - After we signed contract with him, he still impressed me with his honesty - there were a couple of times when we had some ad-hoc projects, the price he offered was still very competitive and work was done great. - Ramin had a little accident on another project when we had a lot of ad-hoc work to do before our staff could move in. His team did an amazing job and our project was finished exactly as planned. There are sooo many other stories I could tell but all in all, Ramin saved my confidence in identifying good people - something that was a little ruined from some bad past experience. Again if i needed to do it all over again I'd still choose Ramin. read more

CaliBuilder - General Contractors Near Me - San Mateo, California

See all

We were looking to expand and renovate our home and talked to a number of different firms. Ramin and CaliBuilder left a lasting impression with us upon our first meeting so we went with his services. After a month into the project, I couldn't be happier with my selection. One of the nightmares of any project is having to chase down the general contractor to get any work done. Not an issue with Ramin. From the day that we decided to go with him, he was clear and concise with his communication and worked with us to build out a project plan. We decided to be in the house during the remodel and his crew have been professional and accommodating building the necessary temporary walls ensuring we be as comfortable as possible. The team arrives every day working towards our agreed upon schedule and Ramin reaches out to me to proactively discuss any risks and issues that surface. It's incredible. What's more is how tech forward Ramin is. He uses Slack to communicate with me and my architect ensuring everything is documented and everyone has the same expectations. He uses Trello with due dates to manage when materials need to be ordered by me. And... he invoices me online using Xero. We met in person for an electrical meeting but he offered to do it at night over video conferencing if the times wouldn't work for me. Tech is prevalent in the Bay Area (obviously) but this is the first I've seen with anyone in the construction industry. What's more, Ramin has done commercial projects before and has a background in engineering and project management. It shows with his attention to details. My wife and I couldn't be happier with our decision! read more

They built my new commercial kitchen and delivered on time. They did get into the details of construction and did a good just job. Communication with them was good and timely. They took complete responsibility of the work they did. Overall I had very good experience with them. read more

First of all, their price was very competitive. Ramin is good at checking the drawings to find issues before construction. Also, he provides a great construction schedule with payments by categories. Project manager, was very good at communicating and responding you back immediately whatever issues you have. They keep their words. Subcontractors' quality of work are also very good. especially I was impressed with paint and stone. K.Shimada read more

This review is based purely on my attempt to have them come out and give us a bid for the house we just purchased. For some background, I had called and spoken to CaliBuilder back in March 2021 about a kitchen renovation for a house we were considering buying. The phone consultation was done extremely well and left a lasting impression on me. At the very last minute, we ended up getting into a bidding war for that house and decided to keep looking. Because the phone consultation for that house had gone so well, I made a mental note to use CaliBuilder once we do purchase a home and need work. In the meantime, I even recommended them to 4 neighbors who needed a contractor with good communication skills. Fast forward to July, we have purchased a home and are ready to do some extensive interior work. Unfortunately, communication has gone downhill since my last experience with them. They responded to my inquiry on Yelp and told me they would contact me last Friday. I gave them a time frame and waited, no call. It is now Tuesday and I have messaged them again to check in on my request and still no response. I understand it is a very busy time for contractors right now but all the other contractors I reached out to have not only called me back but they have already come by for a proposal and walk through. If I have this much difficulty getting them to return my request for a walk through and bid, I can't imagine how hard it would be to get updates/communicate if I had signed on. read more

We have been on the lookout for contractors to rebuild our kitchen.Most have been unresponsive and not quite forthcoming with their estimates. Not Ramin!!He was extremely responsive ,had great suggestions and showed genuine interest in our project.Although we did not go with Calibuilder we are very hopeful on considering them for our future projects and would gladly recommend them to friend and family. read more

I'm so glad I worked with Calibuilder to update one of my bathrooms and the floor throughout my condo in Daly City (Southern Hills). I spoke to a dozen different contractors and Ramin stood out from the initial meeting. He approached the project differently from the others, thinking about the best way to get the job done in a timely, quality, cost-efficient manner. The team he put together, Azeen and Edgar, were equally awesome, taking great care in keeping track of all of the moving pieces and making sure everything looked perfect. On top of the final project being exactly what I wanted, the process itself was seamless. Their use of Slack and online invoices gave me one less thing to manually track and I really appreciated that. I've already recommended them to friends and will continue to do so! read more

We had a great experience using Calibuilder, and working directly with Azeen, our general contractor who renovated our bathroom. Our build was anything but easy, (at no fault of Calibuilder), and with every snafu along the way, Azeen effortlessly, and calmly, took care of it. It was such a pleasure working with them that we decided to work with them on several other projects, both in tandem with our bathroom build, and for projects down the line. Cannot recommend this team more highly!! read more

We used CaliBuilder for their consultation services. Ramin was on time at the location and provided services above and beyond what we had expected. We will likely consider them for the project execution as well. Very professional, would certainly recommend! read more

We reached out to over 20 general contractors to request quotes for the house. Most contractors don't even reply - those that do, never come around to giving you a final number on paper, broken down to tasks. But Ramin was a breath of fresh air. I emailed him Wednesday, he reviewed site on Thursday, we met on Friday - and we had a formal quote on Sunday! All within 5 days. When he came to site, he had an ipad pro, with our designs loaded up, he made notes on the go - pointed out details that we hadn't noticed on the plans. Extremely efficient and tech savvy - the way I would work if I were a contractor. I have no hesitation in recommending CaliBuilder - Ramin is highly professional, courteous, extremely responsive and delivers on time. read more

Ramin has put together a great team which did a fabulous job at our home. The word included floors, painting, electrical, plumbing and kitchen counters. He is very flexible and always provides the best recommendation. He employs latest tools and software to keep in touch and track progress. read more

I had contracted with Made Renovation to remodel a bathroom and they set us up with CaliBuilder. Most of our contact was with Azeen, who was very responsive and professional. We had a few hiccups with the project (some down to MR not understanding the requirements of our city for the plans, and at least one due to misinterpretation of the plan) - and of course the inevitable COVID related delays. But CaliBuilder didn't abandon us - even when it took four months for the city to issue the permit! - and got the job done, including coming back a week after completion for a couple of tweaks. I want to flag the effort they made to keep our (mostly open plan) house dust free too, including zippered plastic curtains and lots of protective paper. They whole team felt committed and responsible. read more

We had Calibuilder come in to replace our tile countertop and backsplash as well as fit new sink & cooktop and update our light fixture to recessed lighting. They were one of four quotes we had and they were well-priced. Not the cheapest but based on reviews and research, they seemed the best value for money. And they were. It took a total of four working days to get the job done with fabrication etc. Azeen was a single point of contact for any questions or concerns and she was there everyday to check the quality of the work done by the contractors. They were efficient, clean, very approachable and professional. They went above and beyond, helping us out by picking up some of the larger materials such as countertop slabs even though it was out of their way and would keep us updated on Slack. We had one very minor issue with a cracked tile, and they came next day to fix it even though I probably could have lived with it. Great service, great people to work with. read more

I recently had my kitchen updated with new flooring, cabinets, and counters. I was assigned to this company from another company, and I'm glad I was because they were great. During this time period, construction companies are so busy, most didn't want my job because it was "too small". Ramin and his group were great to work with and really did good work. There were a few mis-communications on the schedule, but is probably to be expected during this busy time. I would absolutely give these guys a call on my next project. read more

Calibuilder is a great contractor. Not only their crew are so efficient and professional but also their management team are always on top of the project and direct the entire crew and monitor their performance. They are very responsive and very transparent, they know what they do and are always ahead of their schedule. I was always concerned about my privacy and was worried about the construction crew working inside my house. So far I am grateful that I found Calibuilder with their handpicked crew and great management. I highly recommend Calibuilder if you are looking for a contractor you can trust!! read more

Calibuilder has done a fantastic job on my house! The experience was very positive I have to say. I didn't have to worry about anything. The management team handled the project seamlessly. The best part about Calibuilder is that they are very professional unlike many other contractors I have dealt with. I would definitely use them them again! read more

I recently completed new additions(a master bedroom,a bathroom,walk-in closet and a laundry,entrance area expansion). I obtained six bids. CaliBuilder was second lowest. But I chose them because they provided detailed construction schedule and also payment schedule which convinced me they were reliable. Yes they were. Ramin was good at reviewing the drawings to find issues before construction. Unfortunately the drawings had several construction issues because of tight setback requirements. I was glad they notified me the issues so that I could contact the architect to correct the drawings to avoid unnecessary costs. Project manager,Ali was very easy to communicate and respond me back immediately so that any changes could be implemented in timely manner. And the prices for any change orders I requested were pretty reasonable. Their finish crews were pretty good as well. Especially I liked painter and stone installers. They are worth enough to call if you need a contractor. read more
