    Kholer Vault Farmhouse sink
    Leilana T.

    From start to finish, David was such a pleasure to do business with. He always responded promptly. He was also 1/3 less than what 2 other companies quoted us. Communication was great, he showed up early and was very clean throughout the project. We ran into unforeseen snags as far as cabinet fit but he was quick to fix it with efficiency. He even went to Home Depot to get a few things that we didn't have. My sink looks great and I am very happy we chose David.

    Before!

    David is a jack of all trades! I initially reached out to him to replace our countertops in our master bathroom but quickly discussed doing a complete bathroom remodel. He came by to give me an estimate in person and was reasonable compared with other contractors I had talked to. His work is meticulous and he checked in with me along the way to ensure I was satisfied with the quality of the work. He took his time to do a great job and ensured he delivered high quality results. All work in the below pictures was done by him (except the cabinets) including demolition.

    Bottom line David does excellent work at great prices! He did the following for us (see attached pictures): Master bathroom: - created beautiful custom vanity countertops with waterfalls on the sides along with custom ramp sinks using a Caesarstone slab we provided. This was very detailed and demanding work that turned out beautifully. - installed wall faucets and the associated plumbing - hung custom lighted mirrors along with the associated electrical work - installed large format tiles on the walls Powder Room: - installed tiles on the wall and floor - installed a new toilet (with associated electrical) and pedestal sink - installed a wall faucet along with the associated plumbing - hung a custom lighted mirror + the necessary electrical work Kitchen: - Covered the sheetrock on our kitchen island with the same wood as our cabinets He'll definitely be the first guy I call for any future work. His work is superb, he's very easy to work with, trustworthy, and just an all-around good guy! Michael

    Before chips

    We had a few minor chips on our quartz countertop around the sink. We called David and he came over the same day and gave us some great advice. Our countertops have a 1/32" bevel which seems too sharp hence the chipping. David recommend we drop this to a 1/16" bevel. We agreed. He did it with his tools, pretty amazing a sander and grinder looking set of tools and was done in a matter of 30 minutes or so. It wasn't cheap but I think it was worth the investment.

    David did a good enough job with the granite, but I have to take off a star for the dodgy corner cut (see picture). Another star comes off because his estimate was cash-only, but he didn't say so beforehand. He wanted $500 more if we paid by check, so we had to take an hour out of our day to get him his wad of cash. UPDATE: David kindly offered 100$ to make up for his mistake

    I worked with David on my kitchen remodel. He was on time for the initial meeting and quoted us a great price. He showed up everyday on time and ready to work. The attention to detail was amazing and I'm really happy with the end result. I would not hesitate to recommend David again for bathroom or kitchen remodeling.

    This review is long overdue and if Yelp allows it, I would give David a 10+ star rating. I relocated to the East Bay pre-pandemic and this is my 6th property which I've renovated. I've had my bad experiences with contractors in the past which is why I feel very fortunate to have found David. First of all, David is very responsive by phone and text. He's also very reliable, always punctual to appointments and gets the job done in a timely manner. He offers great suggestions and ideas, being new to the area, he was able to direct me to the right places to find the materials I'm looking for. (Tip: it's faster to order all the materials/supplies and have it delivered/ready beforehand, otherwise, David can also pick it up for you.) He along with his workers are very hardworking and cleaned up each time at the end of the day. I'm amazed at the quality workmanship he's demonstrated and it shows upon completion of each job. There isn't anything he can't do. I interviewed other contractors to install a corner farm house sink which was deemed impossible but David made it happen. Not only are his price quotes reasonable, unlike other contractors I've worked with, he is honest upfront on the cost and tries his best to reduce any unnecessary fees. So far, he has completed four projects in my house in the past two years: kitchen remodel, guest bathroom remodel, master bathroom shower stall and marble countertop & toilet upgrades for my other bathrooms. See attached photos of the finished work he's done and all within my budget. I cannot recommend David enough as a skilled contractor, but also as a trustworthy person with excellent work ethics. I look forward to working with him again and feel free to contact me directly for a personal reference, if needed.

    David was a great installer to work with. He worked with me and the stones I choose to make a custom fit install with a very short lead time. The counter came out excellent, and for a fair price. Thank you!

    David did a great job fixing a chip on my countertop. He matched the color as much as possible and made the patch nearly invisible. He also provided many tips on how to maintain and clean the quartz countertop.

    Beautiful Bathroom Remodel - Great Experience from Start to Finish…read more This was our first home remodeling project, so we really didn't know what to expect. From the design phase all the way to the final inspection, the entire process was smooth and easy. Tony and his crew did an excellent job and paid close attention to every detail during construction. I was also worried about the mess and dust that usually comes with remodeling, but they were very careful and cleaned everything at the end of each day, which we really appreciated. Thank you Joseph and Avi for coordinating everything so well. We absolutely love our new bathroom!

    Construction & More recently completed a full home renovation for my home in Fremont. From…read morebeginning to end, our points of contact, Avi & Joseph have gone above and beyond for our project, walking us through the planning phases, permitting, design, construction and finishing work of the renovation. They were able to make a normally very stressful process almost stress-free, so much so that all I had to do was say "yes or no" when it came to key decisions. The Construction & More team took lead in the painful parts of dealing with permitting, PG&E, and subcontractors. They also got us in contact with their preferred vendors to help us with discounts on appliances, finishes and other materials we needed to purchase out of pocket. Overall, I found the Construction & More team extremely professional, transparent, organized, communicative and punctual when it came to the end-to-end process. They truly helped guide us through the process so we didn't have any surprises and helped us navigate any hiccups that came up. Normally, construction companies get a bad rap of being dishonest and trying to add in hidden fees and such, but Construction & More is a truly forthcoming and hardworking group of contractors who have your best interest at heart when it comes to your project no matter how big or small. For the process itself, we began with a consultation at our home to walk through the work we wanted the Construction & More team to do. For us, it was a full renovation which included removing a kitchen wall to create an open concept kitchen & living room, adding a mud room, expanding the master bedroom, moving the front and garage doors, as well as moving the ceilings to create a more open space. After the consultation was completed, we met with Avi & Joseph at their office to discuss an estimate and timeline for the work we needed done about (6-months time, pending no delays). Avi & Joseph respected our budget and were upfront and honest of how to stay within the budget and what were non-negotiables that we needed to get done. They really helped us understand what work was critical and what were nice to have to make our living space better. Once we agreed on the work, they promptly sent over a contract for signature, created a whatsapp group for real time communication, and next steps. Overall this initial process took about a week after negotiations and contract reviews. Once construction began, the team coordinated all the work. They made sure that all moving parts were well executed while setting a realistic timeline for the work to be done. All the subcontractors and tradesmen were effectively scheduled, where there wasn't a single day where there was no work being done. I felt that the team ensured that the construction was moving swiftly and the crew was respectful of our space. The crew made sure that our home was properly locked up and cleaned up after each day's work. Additionally, all the detailed finishing work was measured and completed with precision, where all the tiles placed were measured with a laser. As a bonus, the crew was also super respectful to our neighbors which is an extra plus! If you're considering a renovation of any size, but especially a full home renovation, I could not rave more about Construction & More. Their expertise, professionalism, thoroughness and transparency really sets them apart from the competition. I'm extremely grateful and happy with the outcome of our renovation! Good work guys!!

There have been multiple unresolved issues with the quality of work and follow-through. One example is an LED light that continues to flicker. It has been more than six months, with many calls and text messages, but the issue still has not been fixed. Another example is damage to our garage cabinet, where a hole was created during the work. We are still waiting for this to be repaired as well. Overall, the lack of timely resolution and poor communication after the project has been extremely frustrating.

Overall, the project went well, and we're happy with the final results. Bryan, our foreman, was a strong asset to the project. Even though he was managing multiple jobs at the same time, his responsiveness and willingness to go out of his way to address our concerns made a big difference. Because we were home throughout the process, we were able to catch issues early and communicate them directly to Bryan, who consistently followed through to resolve them. What Went Well: * The tile and flooring subcontractors were excellent - their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stood out. * Bryan, our foreman, was responsive to texts and phone calls, listened to our concerns, and made sure they were addressed. He even designed a bi-fold closet door for us, and helped pick up all the material to build it. * Bryan also took the initiative to handle several unfinished items himself, which we really appreciated. * The post-build cleaners were top-notch and left the space in pristine condition. * Throughout the project, everyone we interacted with was professional, courteous, and conscientious. There were no conflicts or issues, which made the experience comfortable for us. Areas for Improvement: * The timeline was a pain point. While we were originally told the project would take 6-8 weeks, it ended up stretching to 12 weeks. * The design process fell short of expectations. Because Prime's in-house designers weren't available, our design work was outsourced. We only received a full design package for the master bathroom. As a result, we ended up creating our own renderings for the other rooms to help communicate our vision to the team. That said, we were very happy with the design and material selections for the master bathroom they did complete. We just wish the same level of attention and design support had been provided for the rest of the project. * At times, resource availability was limited, likely due to workers being assigned to multiple jobs. This led to workflow inefficiencies and delays. Toward the end of our renovation, our foreman Bryan had to personally step in to complete several tasks, such as installing faucets, shelving, and baseboards. He managed to get it done in between site visits and meetings, which we appreciated, but it also highlighted a lack of available crew to close out the project. Despite these few challenges, the quality of the work met our expectations. We appreciated the team's effort and the final outcome.

I know hiring a contractor is scary. There's a lot involved and they'll be in your house for an indeterminate amount of time which makes it really important to hire someone you can trust. Tom came out to provide an estimate for our project. He was the only one of the contractors I called that really investigated the existing condtions and repair based on what he could see and his own knowledge. He spent over an hour at the initial call making sure he didn't miss anything and talked through the potential issues and repair. This was his time spent not knowing whether or not we'd hire him. He was also the only contractor to tell me he would only do the work with a permit. Whether or not you think one is needed, just knowing that he wasn't afraid of the permitting or inspection process was a big plus to me. Always ask about permits during the interview process. He then went to his car, drafted an estimate and came back to talk to me about it. I was really impressed at this point. There wasn't any pressure from him to sign on and he encouraged me to ask questions. The estimate was well defined and a bit higher than another bid, but from what I saw I thought it would be worth it. After we signed on, he gave a rough schedule and starting time and said they stay on the job until it's done. We had a list of items to buy and he helped us out there too. He was in constant communications and always responded, even on weekends. Before the work begins, it is pretty easy to promise things to the client while telling your crew something else. When the work actually started, Jesus was our foreman and true to their word, he stayed on the project until completed. They were extremely respectful of our home, carefully protected things and kept the work area clean. During demolition, they found some unforseen things, but took care of it without issue. There were times when they could've easily walked through our house to talk to us, but instead opted to ring the door bell to respect our space. The construction went smoothly and Tom would visit and communicate frequently. He took care of the inspections as well without issue and some other things without charging us, which I appreciated. At the end of the project, we had some concern about the slope of our deck above the office. Tom and his crew came out and fixed it and didn't even mention the final payment until we were happy. Our remodelled office looks amazing. I'd gladly recommend LB Construction for anyone looking for a contractor and will contact them again in the future.

A lot of contractors and businesses I contacted for quotes ended up either not showing up because the job was too small or they gave me outrageous quotes, but Farr was the only one to give a fair quote and a detailed scope of work. My previous roommate and I were absolutely thrilled with the final result, and the showers were a big selling point when I sold off my condo. Fast forward 2 years later and we purchased our first house which needed a lot of cosmetic renovations. Both bathrooms were very outdated with cracked tiles, smudged or old fixtures, bathtub, vanity, etc so we needed a full gut. Again Farr came out and was able to give me a competitive fair price for 2 bathroom renovations and it came out EXACTLY what I asked for, and even came back to touch up a few issues I pointed out after the job was almost complete! Picking out the materials and scheduling was a breeze and the whole process took about a month. Will continue to recommend EZ baths to anyone in the East Bay looking for a bathroom remodel!

    We hired GMBC to remodel our kitchen, bonus room and deck. We have a 1912 craftsman bungalow and…read morewanted to do the remodel in a craftsman style. We took the lead on the finishes but GMBC supported us with lots of discussion, advice, ingenuity and great craftsmanship. They answered our questions and addressed our concerns all along the way. We are really pleased with the high quality result. GMBC has several crews and I can only say that Jose and his team were consummate professionals who were friendly, polite, and took all COVID protocols seriously. They were respectful to each other and to us. They even put up with our puppy who busted through the plastic zippered door every single day to greet them. The work was on hold for a full year due to the pandemic. GMBC did not increase our contract (although we directly paid the increased cost of lumber and finish materials) and they did not pressure us to start before we were really comfortable doing so with the pandemic. Everyday my husband and I tell each other how much we love our house now. After 24 years, it is the home we've always wanted. I don't recommend waiting as long as we did- call GMBC and get it started!

I hired them more than three years ago and I paid for the full scope of work they recommended. My bedroom and closet have continued to leak every time it rains. I have given GMBC numerous attempts to fix the leak over the past 3 years, but the leaking persists. Two other companies have determined that GMBC did not do the work required to fix the leak and used improper materials. Moishe is the manager and refuses to resolve the issue. Horrible work. Horrible experience. Do Not Use them unless you just want to waste money!

Installed the sink, faucet and plumbing. Quick and efficient. Demo and templates one day, install one day. Would absolutely recommend them and when we remodel our downstairs bathroom they will absolutely be the first company I call.

    Avoid for Large Projects - Poor Communication, Costly Mistakes, and Delays…read more I would not hire R&A Stone and Tile unless you are a contractor yourself and can monitor the job 24/7. They may be fine for small tiling jobs, or a cheap kitchen flip that you don't care about the quality but anything beyond that is a mistake. Project Experience: -Disorganized & Poor Communication: Ruben, the contractor, constantly miscommunicated with his crew, leading to errors and wasted time. The crew speaks limited English, and Ruben failed to properly relay instructions. -Constant Rescheduling & Delays: The project was plagued with intentional delays because they were trying to juggle randoms crew members to the job site. They do not have a dedicated crew. To keep the job moving, I had to step in and install my stove hood myself. Quality of Work: -Minimal Supervision & Costly Mistakes: Ruben was only on-site for 30 minutes to an hour a day. The crew made frequent errors, wasted materials, and ultimately cost me an extra $5,000 in materials. Unprofessional Workmanship: -A crew member (Adrian) improperly used self-leveling, causing mortar to seep through walls and doors. -The same worker almost set my kitchen on fire due to incorrect wiring. -A junior crew member (Manuel) threw away new materials, further increasing costs. -My husband and I had to redo the wall texture they applied because it was done so poorly. -The countertop was improperly installed (by Victor), leading to a post-installation crack. The contractor promised to fix it but was a no-show, wasting an entire day of our time. -The dishwasher was incorrectly installed (Ricardo), requiring my husband to take a day off to reinstall it. Material Pricing & Usage: The contractor ordered materials on my behalf, but the pricing changed and was increased without transparency. The crew also took materials I paid for to use on other job sites. Also on two occasions, we had to order more tiles at 3x the cost because all the measurements were incorrect. Other Issues: -The crew trashed and clogged our bathroom toilet. They denied responsibility until I installed a camera--only then did the issue stop. -Never reimbursed or refunded for damages and extra expenses. Final Verdict: Ruben is a nice guy and means well, but his company is not equipped for big jobs (over $10K). If you have a small bathroom tile job, they might be fine, but anything beyond that--find a better contractor. We rushed to finish the project just to be done with them, and in hindsight, we should have hired someone else from the start. Do not make the same mistake we did. 2/5 - Would not recommend for major home renovations. Recommend for small jobs only.
