Review Update (2026)…read more I am updating my original 5-star review from a few years ago. At the time, we were very happy with our kitchen remodel and the overall experience working with Creative Design & Build. The project turned out beautifully, which is why I originally left such a positive review. Over the years, however, I noticed that one section of the flooring felt slightly soft when walking on it. At first, it did not seem serious, so we continued to live with it. Recently, the problem became worse and a section of the floor began to noticeably sink when stepped on and eventually a few edges of the flooring broke. At that point, I became concerned that it could become a safety issue. Because we still had plenty of spare flooring boards left over from the project, I attempted to replace the affected board myself. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the new board to fit correctly due to the locking system, and I could not restore the original board either. I then contacted Creative Design & Build for assistance. One reason I reached out was because our original project manager, Oded, had told us that if we ever had any issues, we should contact the company. I left a voicemail and later received a return call from a staff member. After I explained the situation, she said she would check with management and get back to me. A few days later, I received a text message stating that the warranty had expired and that no repairs would be covered. This was disappointing because I had never been informed that there was a four-year warranty period, nor was I able to find any reference to such a limitation in our contract. When I asked for details regarding the warranty and whether they could recommend someone to repair the issue, I did not receive any further response. There were two other issues relating to electrical and plumbing, however we decided to live with that until we had a major problem we needed fixing. I still appreciate the work that was done on our remodel years ago, and our kitchen remains a space we enjoy. However, I have been disappointed by the lack of follow-up and support when a problem arose. My advice to future customers is to make sure all warranty terms, coverage details, and expiration dates are clearly documented and understood before signing a contract.

We just finished our third major remodel with Gilbert Construction in about six years, and they…read morehave completely transformed our house. Our first remodel was an above the garage addition with two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room space, large closet and balcony. Last year we remodeled our kitchen (knocked down a wall, added several square feet of counter space, high end cabinets and a bar), and this year we remodeled our two downstairs bathrooms (relocated a toilet and sink, all new shower and bath, new floors and tiles). Honestly our house looks like it went through one of those home remodeling television shows. We love Gilbert Construction because they are able to take our somewhat fuzzy remodeling ideas and turn them into something spectacular. And they are able to take on any part of the project and clearly have the knowledge and skills to handle complex jobs. We love that it's a family run company that we've come to know and trust over the last several years. Their prices are extremely reasonable and fair. Chad and Greg have a lot of ideas that add small touches to a project that really complete the space. For us it was things like centering the kitchen sink with our kitchen window, using the hexagonal shower floor tile as a backsplash for our bathroom vanity, etc. that really added to the final look of our remodels. We wholeheartedly recommend using Gilbert Construction.

Jylene (design) and Todd (construction) were awesome people and their entire team was professional, experienced, and kind. The subs they used were top notch (particularly the electricians and floor levelers).

The quality of their craftsmanship and their attention to detail made a lasting impression and quickly established STS as my trusted contractor for future projects. My most recent project--a full backyard remodel--is now nearing completion, and once again STS has exceeded my expectations. The scope of work included replacing existing stamped concrete with custom pavers, creating an outdoor living room, building a custom brick retaining wall around the fire pit, installing Roman shades over my spa, and replacing an old wooden fence with a new vinyl fence. While my original vision for the backyard exceeded my budget, STS Construction owners Todd and Jylene worked closely with me to prioritize key elements and develop a proposal that was both thoughtful and financially realistic. Construction began in May, and work progressed consistently from start to finish--even on holidays. The only delays occurred when special-order materials were awaiting delivery. Throughout the entire process, STS demonstrated exceptional professionalism, reliability, and a genuine commitment to quality. I confidently and highly recommend STS Construction for any personal or professional construction and design needs.

Fair Pricing and Quick…read moreInstallation, but Lacking Attention to Detail Overall, my experience with Alpine Fence had a mix of clear positives and frustrating negatives. The Positives * Communication & Speed: They were quick to respond, quick to get us on the schedule, and finished the installation very fast. * Pricing & Reputation: Their quote was fair and in line with other estimates I received. I ultimately chose them because I recognized the brand and had seen their work around the neighborhood. * Customer Support: When I reached out regarding issues after the job, they responded quickly and sent a different installer out to fix one of the issues. The Negatives * Damaged Materials: Many vinyl pieces arrived scratched up because they were transported loose in the back of the installer's truck, sliding around in dirt and debris. * Rough Site Cleanup: I had carefully cleared all the rocks away from the old fence so they could work easily and replace the rocks afterward. Because the crew rushed, they did a poor job spreading the rock back out, leaving obvious bare dirt patches despite there being plenty of rock. There were tons of vinyl shavings from the installation that are all over the yard. * Property Damage: Concrete was dripped onto my decorative walkway pavers, which I still haven't been able to remove. * Missed Instructions: I specifically asked them not to connect the new fence to my neighbor's existing fence, but they did it anyway. Follow-Up & Final Verdict To their credit, Alpine Fence sent a second technician who replaced the scratched rails, posts, and gate, and fixed a gate installation error. However, they completely ignored the concrete on my decorative pavers, the rock landscaping issue, and the improper connection to the neighbor's fence. They get the job done quickly and stand by their customer service to an extent, but the rushed workmanship and damage to surrounding property keep this at a 3-star review.
