Quite frankly, I tried to save money by piecemealing things, prior to hiring them. In the long run, I had people steal from me, walk out on the job, and even be abusive and cause mental stress. ENTER...802 Builders! They are amazing, and true professionals. They roll in with every piece of equipment you could imagine, arrive on time, are kind and communicative, and after six months of waiting on others -- they are banging out a beautiful job, just in the first day they're here. I'm giddy with excitement as my punch list gets smaller and smaller and it's all taking shape. I feel so blessed to have found them and, though you have to be patient to wait your turn, they are fast, efficient, friendly and it was well worth the wait. I highly endorse them, and will have them do a rough bid on some other projects, since they have such advanced skills, save up the funds, and keep bringing them back. I won't go elsewhere, as they are truly the best.

Although we have some personal issues with each other, my opinion of James as a craftsman is top notch. From what I used to see of his work, I would not hesitate to hire him.

And, he is an excellent problem solver who can implement solutions. The doors came out great as did the mortar work. In the middle of his work, we had a leak, and James discovered the source as coming from a dormer. He fixed it and replace all the siding perfectly. The leak is gone. James is polite, timely and responsive. If he has to change his schedule due to weather, he calls. He cleans up each day very neatly, a big plus! And his skills go beyond carpentry. His prices are fair and his work is high quality. We recommend him highly and will use him again.

Dwayne McCullough is the most talented, honest, smart carpenter/builder we know. We were so…read morefortunate to have him work on our bathroom. It was filled with mold and literally separating from our house! Dwayne completely rebuilt the room after getting rid of all the mold and securing the room to the house. The job was much worse than any of us thought it would be,but Dwayne just regrouped and figured it out, incorporating an old seven foot soaking tub we found in a rehab store and an antique cabinet that was turned into the base of the sink. Dwayne also built the deck and stairs from our enclosed back porch. We highly recommend Dwayne McCullough to do any work you need on your home.

He was very punctual, neat and the work was perfectly done. Not only that, his final bill was a couple of hundred dollars LESS than his estimate. That's right, LESS. I'm glad that I found him.

Syd provided detailed carpentry work on my condo renovation in Pacific Heights. He was a true…read moreprofessional and his skills were exemplary. Syd took on projects ranging from crown moulding to hardwood flooring and provided both guidance and heads-down effort to deliver a quality result. Many of the projects were challenging and required a creative approach. Syd didn't shy away from these and always delivered. He was also very reliable. I never had to worry that he was burning up time on the clock with unproductive work. I'd recommend him on any job, especially those that require excellent carpentry skills.

Brutal experience with them back in 2022-2024. Would take weeks and, more than once, even months…read moreto get them to come back and do any work (see screenshots of my text interactions with them -- note the dates). They were supposed to build a new rubber roof. It started leaking on 3 separate occasions (which btw was never fully fixed -- we moved on to different contractors who did address the issues). And like I said, it would take months for them to actually come back and attempt to fix anything. Often they'd come by, look at the damage, then I wouldn't hear from them for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, more damage continues to accrue to the walls and ceilings. The internal fixes they applied for the water damage were just patch jobs. They just plastered and painted over. Meanwhile, the insulation behind the wall was soaked and accrued black mold that we had to address later. Also worth pointing out a major blunder at the beginning of the project (see attached videos and pics). They opened up the roof, and left it open for multiple days without doing any work. Well of course a major rainstorm came by (which was on the weather forecast well in advance). Alll that water poured into the house in the middle of the night setting off fire alarms. It was a nightmare to deal with on my end.
