We live in Carmel Valley and hired Justin and his team to do an addition and full remodel of our…read morehome including re-plumbing, rewiring, redoing the septic systems and replacing our ridge line beam, after having a terrible experience with our first contractor. Justin's team picked up the project while in the permitting phase and did a fantastic job on all aspects of the project, from pulling the permits through the final. They were always available, transparent with their bid process and exceedingly fair when unknowns came up in the project. Doing a high-end remodel is never cheap, but their pricing was fair, transparent and they worked with us to fit everything we wanted into our budget and schedule. Could not recommend them more highly!

He's always been quick to respond and very thorough in his work. Even when smaller things have come up, he responds quickly and gets the work done.

Few months later when we start to used the master gas fire place, after while smoke alarm will comes on and the room full of the smoke each time. at first we thought it might be dirty inside just needs it to burn it out, but the problem just won't stop, finally reach him and he show up with one of the worker, never forget his cocky arrogant attitude, and ridiculous accusation of the problem might cause by birds got inside of the chimney. He just stop respond any more phone call and refuse to provide the name of the manufactured made this gas fire place. we have no choice but to hire some one else open up the wall and discover inside was a big gap between the fire place and metal pipe , and no where to be found any serial number or name of the manufactured on it, which is very suspicious, even more shocking to see how poorly and unprofessional the workman ship when they installed it. This is a serious safety matter, some one could've die from this if smoke alarm didn't work. All I can say is this builder has no integrity and should be shame of him self , it doesn't mater how talent or fancy material he would used for his project, he does not deserve any respect from this industry or me period!
