I was assigned Anna as the project manager for my project and Olga to obtain the permits and schedule the required inspections. Both of them were very easy to work with and handled everything for me in an organized manner. ADU specs include a large kitchen featuring a variety of full size appliances, lots of storage in the cabinets, and an island in the kitchen that will provide a lot of additional counter space. Stacked washer/dryer is located near the kitchen for easy access by tenants. The bedroom is good sized with ample storage in the closet. The unit is very bright and open. The exterior of the unit is very modern and sophisticated in color. It's understated and does not look like it has been over-accessorized. This will be used as an investment property and I'm very happy with how the unit turned out. Anna, Olga and the rest of the A+ team were great to work with and I have no complaints at all.

She helped us get the house we wanted and is still helpful when we need her today. The service and maintenance department leaves something to be desired. That adventure started when they rushed finishing our home so our move in could fall into the current month. The house was not ready and though we purchased a brand new home, it was not in the perfect condition I expected. Additional issues have been construction debris not being cleared from gutters after build. We were told that at our one year walk through anything we needed repaired would be done. This was not true, touch ups and recaulking were not completed as promised. Our biggest issue that is still not resolved is a plumbing issue where the PVC in front of the house became detached. It did not crack or break from outside force, it literally separated which would be nearly impossible had the pipe been properly glued and attached during the build. The head of maintenance advised us to have a plumber out to repair as he couldn't reach the original plumbers. Once work had been completed, we were essentially ghosted by him. We took our issues to the Customer Service Manager after months of waiting and he is now trying to low ball our reimbursement. We are out $4,500+ for a mistake made during the build of our home. Buyer beware. Get an underground plumbing addition to your homeowners warranty because the builder is not interested once you purchase!

And the contractors they use? Oh my God. An absolute nightmare. Their HVAC work is an ABSOLUTE JOKE. Took multiple visits and a month to get the heater working. Then it started setting off the fire alarm. The warrantied vendor was so bad at fixing the heater the first go I decided to just bring in an outside crew to fix the other issue. They cut corners everywhere! Don't do things the right way. It's cheapness over quality everywhere. The windows are TERRIBLE. You need to be in extremely physically fit condition to even crack them open. The sliding door track broke, and I'm still trying to deal with the warranty on that through their contractor because Meritage declined my warranty claim, despite the initial report of issues with the door being brought to their attention WITHIN TWO MONTHS of moving into the house. We've now been in the house for almost 2 years. The excuse from the contractor for the door? AND I QUOTE: "Your warranty request has been received. Please note, we are experiencing a high volume of requests, which may delay our response." What a joke. There are a hundred other little things, but my blood pressure is rising as I type this out. If you buy from meritage, expect headaches and to spend a bunch of money you shouldn't have had to spend to get the house actually up and running the way it should.

And the full internal framing replacement of 3 windows, insulation and drywall. Project crew was great, and professional. Being here was several weeks, I worked from hime to let them have access to the backyard and inside the house for their needed repairs. They all worked without issue and concern, and provided necessary updates when available. Communication with the city for permits was at issue at first, and an initial inspection was missed. As myself and the team weren't aware it was taking place at that specific time. 2nd inspection, the inspector was several hrs late and made the contractors wait all day, and no work could get done that day. Inspections after were good. Only issues I noted were a number of nails left out in my yard, all in the same area vicinity. Where my dog also goes out to walk, so that was a little concern. But there was nothing else that occured, and clean up for was good before and after. Total work - $18k+

1 Star: The Patio Looks Nice, but That's About It!…read more While I will admit that the finished patio looks nice, that is honestly the only positive thing I can say about my experience with this construction company. The construction has been ongoing for months at Greenhaven Oaks Apartments, and the lack of professionalism, communication, and respect for residents' personal property has been extremely disappointing. During construction, workers damaged my children's belongings, including my daughter's baby carriage and my child's bicycle. Nobody even had the decency to notify me that my child's bike had been broken. They also put a hole through my living room wall, which was eventually patched but left unpainted and unfinished. What is especially frustrating is what happened to my children's recycling. I have been teaching my kids responsibility by having them sort and separate our recyclables on their own. They worked hard to organize everything, separating the materials and bagging them up properly. We had seven bags of recyclables ready to go. The following weekend, we lost access to our backyard because of the construction, and we still have not regained access. Now, only one bag of glass bottles remains. I have no idea what happened to everything else. This was not just a pile of recyclables. It was something my children took the time and effort to organize as part of learning responsibility, and now their hard work has essentially disappeared without any explanation. I have already reported these issues to my apartment management, including the damaged baby carriage. A nice-looking patio does not excuse damaged property, missing belongings, poor communication, or a complete lack of accountability. Residents should not have to discover damage to their belongings or repeatedly complain just to have their concerns acknowledged. At the end of the day, the patio may look good, but the way this company treated residents and their belongings was anything but professional. The finished product might deserve five stars, but the overall experience deserves one.

Throughout the process they were courteous and fair and it was evident all through the process that they cared about us.  Us being satisfied was important to Cutting Edge Homes then, and as it turns out, over the years that has never changed. One of the reps swung by the house and we let him know that there were a couple of electrical issues in the panel and the team jumped right on it to get the factory service people to address it.  They came out and fixed the electrical issues to our satisfaction.

They were on it. Since they have carpenters, mud and texture guys, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, you name it, They would send who needed to be here at what time to make the process as speedy as possible, showed up when they said they would and worked until the project was done! Everyone who was sent out was very friendly and respectful, also leaving my place clean when they left for the day. I would receive almost daily logs of who was here from what time to what time, reports of progress including photos and estimations of percentage of each piece that was left to do, and how close we were to the projected estimate. Everything turned out beautiful and works perfectly for what I wanted to use it for. I will definitely be calling them in the future with any and all construction needs. Thanks Good Guys!!

I hired Mark for a medium-sized remodeling project (about 6 weeks) . He provided a low estimate…read morecompared to other bids. He then said that his workers were all covered by Worker's Comp, among other benefits, and that he paid a fair wage, and that he was the most ethical contractor in the industry, resulting in his workers' being highly productive and efficient leading to shorter project times. This sealed the deal for me. Furthermore, he claimed that the extra 30% or so that he was billing for his workers, was due of the worker's comp insurance, which only he provided to his workers (as opposed to the many unscrupulous other contractors that were around). As a property owner, you could be held liable for workers' injuries if the contractor did not carry worker's comp, and so, I agreed to Mark's deal. Within a few days, Mark had exceeded the estimate he had quoted, and was very difficult to get hold of. Furthermore, his workers would come and go at all times of the day (between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm) and I simply lost track of how many "cooks" were in the kitchen. As of last count, I noticed some 15+ names on the invoices, and some would appear for a couple of hours, and then disappear. But Mark would send me invoices claiming that his workers spent the entire day at the property - which was simply untrue. Mark would not be interested in even listening to me or investigating my grievances. Instead, he would brag that he did me a big favor by accepting my project, and that he typically only did multi-million dollar gigs, and not pittances like mine. Long story short, the project budget exceeded the estimate by more than 100%. Mark became extremely aggressive and feisty, and it was impossible to work or reason with him. I hired a Private Investigator to find out who this person really was -- like a Dr. Jekyl Mr. Hyde. Turns out that he had been sued for fraud, but more importantly, the whole worker's comp, fairness, ethical contractor, and so on, charade, was ALL ONE BIG LIE. It also appears that Mark may have left the Better Business Bureau due to bad reviews and that he may have hired a reputation defending company to increase his Yelp reviews to 5 stars by questionable tactics. Good Guy Builders license has been suspended for Worker's Comp violations and is under investigation. After my PI reported this, I found on the CSLB site: "License is under suspension for failure to comply with Workers Comp. A workers´ compensation certificate or exemption statement may have been received by the Board but not yet processed. Once the certificate or exemption statement is processed the suspension will be lifted retroactively to the effective date of the certificate or exemption statement. Ask the contractor for proof of worker's compensation and contact the insurance company to verify coverage." Here is the URL: https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=1016932 Please see image below. This is one of the greatest betrayals where I was charged an arm and a leg, and told a romantic story of workers being taken good care of, and so on, all the while, when Mark was simply pocketing the money that was supposed to cover his workers' safety and well being. Such greed, deception, and dishonesty, in my opinion, does not deserve a second chance. You decide whether you want to hire this company and deal with Mark. --- Addendum to Mr. Santosh R's note: 1. I am a real person. I was threatened by Mark that I would be sued if I posted anything negative on Yelp. 2. Yes, I did edit my posts before finally settling on one. Anyone in my position would do the same. 3. Finally, the facts remain unchanged. Good Guy Builder's license is under suspension and this may be independently verified on the CSLB website (see link). Likewise, the lawsuits against them may be independently verified. People like Santosh and Mark are the real culprits who boost their yelp ratings in a manner that skews it in their favor - by attacking anyone who posts negative reviews, and threatening those in dispute with defamation lawsuits. Do not believe anything Santosh or Mark say. The suspension is more than ample evidence that Good Guy Builders is a crooked business and not one that you should be patronizing.
