    Alex and the assigned contractors did an excellent job with the demo of my old roof and installation of my new roof. The team came out and tarpped the old roof to prevent further damage until the rain stopped and the old roof could be replaced. They did an excellent job with installing the new roof. I needed additional, repairs to the drywall inside my home and the assigned contractors did an excellent job with the replacement and painting of the new drywall. Great communication from Alex with daily pictures and updates. I am satisfied with the workmanship for all the repairs that needed to be done for my home. Highly recommend this company.

    My husband and I purchased our home during the pandemic and it definitely needed updates to the original 1960s kitchen. We shopped around for a few contractors and decided on Forever Builders because of their 5 star reviews and reasonable bid for the project (they were the middle price for 4 bids we got) We met with Shai in February/March 2022 after finding out we were going to be parents. Shai was very personable, thorough, and had lots of examples of past and current projects that they had going on. We decided to proceed with them because he was very up front with us on timing and the process. Since we were removing a load bearing wall, Shai referred us to an architect who had to draw up the plans to apply for a permit from City of La Mesa. When our permit was finally approved, and we were ready to start we had to hire someone for asbestos testing, and then someone else for Asbestos abatement/demolition before Forever Builders work could start. From start to finish, (asbestos abatement/start of demolition to completion of kitchen), the whole process took about 7 weeks ( January- March). Shai was very helpful throughout the process, but his project manager Dean was amazing. Dean coordinated all the work, kept us updated every day, and worked hard to get the kitchen completed in a timely fashion so that we could move back in to our house with our new baby and return to work. As with all projects, there are oversights and sometimes there are miscommunications. We had a couple, but Shai and Dean did their best to make up for it and make sure that we were happy customers. Their dedication to customer service can't be matched and I would recommend them to anyone looking to have work done on their home. If there is anything a customer wants, they try to go above and beyond to make them happy. Also, they just seem like good people, which is refreshing.

    Forever Builders is a great value for your money. They are accommodating, will work you, fix any of their mistakes, and want to make the customer happy. We interviewed 5 different contractors and received quotes from 4 of them. We did not entertain a quote from Murray Lampert because the initial amount and time of completion was so far beyond any of the other quotes that we told the salesperson not to bother. The other contractors all had solid reviews on Yelp, Google, and Home advisor. One of the contractors (Lumina Builders) was a company we used for a large master remodel that did a fantastic job and we were actually very partial to them, but their quote was $20k higher than Forever Builders. At the end, we went with Forever Builders because their price and reviews. As I said before, Forever Builders provides a good value for your money. They were very accommodating, they did whatever it took to make us happy, they did not walk away from the job until we were happy, and the finished product looks great. Their crew lead (Rigo) is awesome! He is very attentive, does high quality work, and wants to make customers happy. Here are some of the things that were not so great. They are certainly not a design company. They have a drafting company for the layout, but they are not a company that take all aspects of design in account to give an accurate design For example, they installed upper cabinets too close to the vent on one side. I had to point it out to them and they fixed it. Again, should have been something they noticed right away and took into account on their design. Next, we had canned lights moved or eliminated and their drywall patching did not match so they ended up texturing half of the ceiling to make it look even. There were mistakes made through carelessness that needed to be fixed but could have been avoided. If we could do it all over again, we would have researched the cabinet options more rather than going with the standard option. The cabinets we got through Forever Builders were the standard cabinets Forever Builders builders purchases from Khadi Stone and they are a standard RTA cabinet. We've had three different contractors do different projects over the last few years. A large master bathroom remodel, our kids bathroom, and the recent kitchen project. I would rate Forever Builders the second best contractor we've used. They don't have all the flashy "overhead" like a showroom that they have to account for in their pricing so you get the most "bang for your buck."

    My husband and I just finished a major addition (2 beds/2 baths, nearly doubled the house) with Forever Builders, and they were wonderful! Shai was our project manager, and he was the best. He communicated well, kept us informed, and made the whole process more understandable. Not only were Shai and the Forever Builders crew friendly, but all of the contractors and subs they sent were very nice, as well. They also sent a designer (Enam) who was wonderful and helped us immensely with the design details that I'm terrible with. As far as finances, they stayed on budget and set up reasonable milestone payments. We had received bids from several other contractors, and FB were definitely the most reasonable. I was certainly worried getting into this as I had heard many horror stories, but aside from a few hiccups that they promptly took care of, I was very happy with everything, and the house looks incredible! Highly recommend!

    Choosing Forever Builders was the right decision for our home remodel. My fiancé and I just bought our first home and decided to have the interior walls repainted, LVP floors installed, and the kitchen rebuilt with new cupboards/counters/backsplash. The whole project took 3 weeks and we couldn't be happier with the final result! We were really fortunate to have Shai Gino as our project manager. Shai was personable, communicative, and professional from beginning to end. When we met, he went over the scope of work and was thorough in walking me through the renovation process. The cost, timeline, and expectations were broken down clearly. He also met with me at the show room to help pick out the materials for our project. His guidance on what to select was much appreciated since I'm not someone who is particularly knowledgeable about different material options. When it came to the actual work done on our home, Shai went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied each step of the way. The different teams he scheduled to work on our project were great and delivered on our vision. I highly recommend Shai and Forever Builders and will definitely reach back out when we're ready to remodel our bathroom someday!

    We were finally ready to remodel our original 1950s kitchen this year and had a few companies come out for an estimate. Shai and Dean arrived quickly after our initial inquiry. They genuinely listened to our wants and vision and we're very detailed in explaining the process, scope of work, realistic time frames, and cost estimates. Compared to other companies that came out they were hands down the most thorough and best vibes. We decided to go with them and it proved to be a great choice! Our project was a major in scope and investment. Shai and Dean understood our budget and non negotiables and we're amazing at balancing the two to achieve our dream kitchen! Dean's wife Enam is an awesome designer and super patient! I had many ideas/changes and she was always quick to respond and work with my 'new' plans. Their crew (Rigo and team) were amazing! Working from home, I had to live through every minute of the remodel. So it was great to have such a respectful, clean and friendly team in my space. Shai and Dean were always on point with communication and made sure we were satisfied every step of the way. The results speak for themselves and we are so happy and grateful for our new kitchen! We can't even remember how we functioned in our non functional kitchen. Huge thanks to Shai, Dean, Enam, Rigo and team!!

    The bathroom came out exactly how we wanted.

Jack was my estimator, he knew I was in a time crunch to turn the home over to new tenants who had kids starting school at the end of August. Jack's quote estimated the job would take 95.9 hours which calculates to approx. 12 days. On August 28 @ 4:00 p.m. Cameron texted me asking for a phone call. When I phoned him he said he needed to pick up a progress payment. I reminded him that the contract says I am obligated to make a progress payment when 1 coat of paint is on all walls. I explained that the downstairs had not been touched in 12 days! At that he HUNG UP ON ME! ****Yes, the OWNER OF THE COMPANY HUNG UP ON ME! He subsequently texted me and apologized for ending the call abruptly. The job took 18 days, most of the time there was only one guy, Jorge, painting a 2700 sq ft house. When I reached out to PB Painting, they sent 2 more guys for 2 days, then 1 guy for a couple of days. I lost $933.31 in rent due to the job not being done until 9/7. IT GETS BETTER.....I had no idea they would finish the night of 9/7. On 9/8 at 6 a.m. I got on a plane for a 7 hour flight during which Cameron threatened to file a Mechanic's Lien on the house and subsequently FORECLOSE if I didn't get him payment on 9/8! I explained I was out of town for 1 week and his text reponse was "No, that is not going to work, we need payment asap" Initially I deducted $933 from his final payment, then realized that this guy is completely out of control and I feared for my safety. I paid him the full amount due and WILL NEVER refer this company to anyone. However, I did require him to exchange a Lien Release for the payment, even though he said he never actually filed a lien. I did not trust him! ** PB Painting, Cameron Maltby should have his contractor's license revoked!

I even paid close attention to critical feedback across reviews to gauge potential risks. Stubbins Painting immediately set themselves apart. Beyond their stellar metrics, they asked thoughtful, detailed questions during our initial walkthrough and offered fantastic suggestions to make the house look its best.

Gabriel and Rene were absolute professionals throughout the process--keeping me updated via text on timing, options, and progress. Their attention to detail was second to none. This was a complex job on a large house with a 3-car garage, four exterior doors, numerous windows and shutters, and more architectural pop-outs than I can count. Yet every line was crisp, and the finish was immaculate. During our final walkthrough, they told me, "We aren't leaving until you are 100% satisfied." I couldn't be happier with the results. Stubbins Painting is now my official go-to contractor for my own properties, and they will be my top recommendation for all of my real estate clients moving forward.
