I hired Prime to renovate my kitchen - countertops, backsplash, cabinets, electrical, freezer, etc…read more They also helped install a new bidet toilet for me. Overall the experience was very good; Elijah and Bryan were super friendly and responsive. Eli was very patient and accommodating as we discussed several different potential change orders, from new windows to painting, to other misc. things that popped up. Bryan Luna was especially a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail and proactivity to solve any little thing I mentioned was definitely the highlight of working with Prime. Their contracted electrician, Hector, was great as well. I also think they did a great job building out a cabinet to fit our freezer next to the matching fridge. Their master carpenter managed to salvage our existing wood to make it match perfectly. Definitely better than what I'd expect from even a carpentry specialty contractor. I will mention that it wasn't without some snags. Prime deals in volume so they're very busy. I think because I had delays in sourcing a freezer I ended up not getting a dedicated project manager for some time. We had timeline issues made worse with holidays. This caused cascading delays which inevitably pushed back my move in date a few weeks. When I finally did get a new project manager, they ghosted me (later on I found out they had a family emergency). Eli had to step in again to help. Another thing is that their pricing is quite opaque. The estimate will break down prices by milestones, but they repeated told me that it's not a valuation of the milestone itself. This made it nigh impossible to understand if I wanted to contract out specific pieces of the project (e.g. flooring). Design was OK. I felt that the designer was very busy. Sometimes very responsive (5min replies), sometimes not responsive at all (no reply). I wish I had a better, more thorough back-and-forth session about the intricacies of the design. But we made do. Ultimately, the designer made a render and helped point us to some vendors, but from there we had to make our own selection alone (cabinets, handles, pendant lights, faucets, etc.). I did appreciate her presence when we picked out countertops, though. All in all, I think this was a 4.5 star job, but I'm rounding to 5 because of Eli and Bryan :)

We contracted Prime Design & Build to remodel two bathrooms, a laundry room, a staircase, and to…read moreinstall hardwood flooring. 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.

From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and easy to work with. They took the time to explain the process, helped me select the right materials, and kept me informed throughout the project. The installation was completed on schedule, and the workmanship is outstanding -- the countertop looks beautiful, and the dishwasher was installed with care and precision. The crew was respectful of my home, kept the workspace clean, and made sure everything was working perfectly before they left. It's rare to find a company that delivers both great customer service and high-quality craftsmanship, but Pablo's General Remodeling truly exceeded expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for kitchen upgrades or appliance installation.

We hired LB Construction & Remodeling for a major remodel of roughly half our 1951…read morehome--reconfiguring walls, adding a brand-new bathroom, and completely redesigning an old one. Owning an older home comes with inevitable surprises, so we wanted a team who could problem-solve creatively. That's where Liran shined. We brought some ideas to the table, and he offered alternative solutions that made far more sense for how we live--solutions we loved. Designers were brought in to prepare plans and permits, and the work began. Our project manager, Adi, was one of the kindest, most attentive people I've ever worked with. He stayed in constant contact, visited the site frequently, and ensured every detail met extremely high standards. It became a running joke between us about changing their slogan to "quality you can afford"--he humored me, and it perfectly captures the team's approach. The craftsmanship from Flavio, the lead contractor, was exceptional. We didn't pick the easiest designs, but the finished primary bathroom shower tile is genuinely a work of art--everyone who sees it comments on it. We also can't forget "Muscle Memo", who handled all the heavy lifting--climbing through dusty attics, crawling under grimy crawl spaces, and tackling the toughest physical work. His effort made the project run smoothly and safely. Adding to the charm, the team brought their own portable bathroom, which hilariously became a little local attraction--neighbors and passersby would sometimes "need to go," and we all shared a laugh over it. LB went above and beyond by addressing problem areas that weren't part of the original scope, with no extra charge, just to ensure the house looked perfect. They even brought in a professional cleaning crew, leaving our home cleaner than when the project started--a rare and deeply appreciated touch. We are thrilled with the entire LB team and highly recommend them. They hit that sweet spot: exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful problem-solving, genuine care, a sense of humor, and high quality at a price we could afford. Truly impressive from start to finish.

Where do I begin? Adi is someone you want on your team. I wish I could take him with me to work or…read moreeverywhere in my life really. The entire LB Construction team is amazing. They are respectful, humorous, kind, with an impeccable work ethic. Adi and his team worked on our penthouse in a Lake Merritt condominium. They had no problems with us recommending revisions to their proposed contract. It was a big construction project, and required a lot of creative problem solving to adhere to the HOA CC&Rs. Adi and his team had no problems dealing with our HOA and always went above and beyond with our/their requests without any complaints and gripes (even when it was deserved). They helped with architectural requests, permitting, design support, demolition, framing, drywall, flooring, electrical, plumbing, for a renovation of three bedrooms, living room, dining room, and kitchen including two fireplaces. They provided us with several great options for materials within budget. No challenge was too great for them and they never ran away. When we needed them to make final touches they made adjustments. They deep cleaned our place when it was done. Adi was always upfront about the scope, schedule, and budget so nothing felt like a surprise or a money grab. Any issue I brought up, he quickly addressed and never repeated again. He was even available to answer questions after the renovation was complete. I would 100% recommend working with them again. If we ever decide to renovate our bathrooms, Adi and LB Construction will be the first people I call.

We could not be happier with the deck that Christopher and his team built for us. Christopher was…read morevery helpful during the design process, working on multiple options for us until we landed on a design that worked best. We also changed our minds about the deck railing towards the end of the build and he very graciously figured out a custom solution that works perfectly. They also built custom stairs to match the deck for the lower level of the house as a last minute addition. His team was extremely professional, conscientious, and went above and beyond with making sure the site was clean and orderly (especially since we have a toddler running around). We noticed a lot of details in which they could have cut corners or done the 'easy' thing, but instead they put in extra effort to make sure it looked as beautiful and finished as possible. Overall we could not recommend working with Christopher and his team more.

Posted this on Google reviews and it got hidden to the public. I think it's important folks know…read moreabout this experience so see below: ______________________ I had such a bad experience with Mission Home which I know will look bonkers given the 5 star reviews. I was definitely persuaded by these reviews - and now will question every business that has 5 star reviews. Do your homework and don't be fooled. Project took much longer than what it should have because they were disorganized and would forget certain things (the foreman would even admit that the PM should have told me certain things!) that I would have imagined a contractor had down pat in terms of sequencing. They use some subcontractors and you are at the mercy of their schedules. They just are not organized (you will do a lot of the reminding, checking in, following up, and certain things still may not happen). They failed inspections meaning more cost (it is their job to pass these! It says this in any contract!) If it seemed as though I was questioning something, the PM got defensive and sometimes unprofessional, gaslighting me in a very aggressive manner. I saved the communication, in fact. The people I worked with directly were young and it showed in the almost-too-casual style of communication and lack of professionalism. I surrendered towards the end and just wanted the project done and everyone gone. I feel completely foolish that I went with the significantly higher estimate thinking it would offer a smooth, superior experience. The actual people who did the work worked hard though and did nice work - hence the two stars. But at the end of the day, it's actually hard to enjoy the work as I am reminded by the months of bad experiences - up to the very end. You can find more experienced contractors out there for equal quality of workmanship and for a more competitive price. I am using a different contractor now for other work at the property - it's a 180 degree difference - they have a dedicated team for my project, meaning time to completion is more accurate and on time; they have a dedicated person to procure the finishes and fixtures, not myself; they are way more organized and even provided me a timeline of what to expect and communicate with me what time they are showing up and what progress was made that day (!!); they are bringing a truly expert eye with attention to detail that ELEVATES the space and are teaching me to ask things I didn't even know I should KNOW to ask; and most importantly, I feel truly comfortable asking questions without defensiveness and aggressive steamrolling in their answers. I received none of this level of care or expertise with MHR, and I want you to know that you should expect these things!!!

The guy just spent like 20 mins walking around the house and said he will get back to us with a quote. But I never hear back from them since.

We hired Gilor Remodeling Group after interviewing 6 contractors. Our scope of work included a full…read morekitchen and bathroom remodel, which included removing walls. We also smoothed and painted all walls (level 4) and installed new hardwood floors throughout the entire house. We also did some additional work to remodel our fireplace. We spent several hours with each contractor. In the end, we picked Gilor because we really liked the project manager / founder Or Haim, who personally managed the project and had significantly more experience than the other project managers we met. Kitchen Remodel We had a grounds up kitchen remodel. Before any work began, they worked closely with our architect to fully understand the plans before execution -- which made a huge difference. When it came to the structural work, they made sure to do it right. In fact, when our kitchen designer came to take measurements, she commented that it was clear our contractor knew exactly what he was doing and had put in a proper structural support and framing. This was critical because we were installing posts and load-bearing beams that were recessed and flush. They were meticulous in laying out the electrical and re-routing all the plumbing -- gas lines, water lines, you name it. They also added additional blocking to accommodate our cabinet layouts and appliance dimensions before sheet-rocking the kitchen. They spoke with our kitchen designer to verify the height at which our wall cabinets would be hung and made sure blocking was there and that there would be no interference with electrical or plumbing. They were reading the dimensions of all the appliances before installing cabinets so that the spacing was exact. Our counter-depth fridge fit in flush with the cabinets. On top of that, they proactively adjusted the kitchen window height because they pre-planned and knew it would become an issue down the road -- our countertop would have ended up higher than the window sill if they hadn't caught it. That kind of foresight is rare and saved us from a costly fix later. We had many requirements and high-end finishes that required extra care and expertise to install: recessed outlets, a touch-enabled faucet, an in-line attic vent hood blower, a microwave drawer, a reverse osmosis water system, smart dimmers, and Fittes/Aria vents. You really need a contractor who knows his stuff for this kind of work, because the last thing you want is an incorrect installation that ends up costing you more money. Our countertops were beautiful, and they really elevated it by doing seamless 2-inch thick bullnose w/ miter edges and waterfalls for our kitchen island. We also used countertops as the kitchen backsplash from counter to ceiling, which really gave it a clean finished look. It's these smaller things you don't think about where they do an amazing job and really differentiates your kitchen vs. others that just go through the standard run-of-mill remodels. Bathroom Remodel Our bathroom was equally demanding. We went with ultra-large 48-inch tiles, miter edges with epoxy in the shampoo niche (rather than standard metal edges), a linear shower drain, a smart toilet, a floating vanity, and relocated plumbing lines. Everything was executed with precision and care, and the finished result looks stunning. Fireplace Remodel We had original brick fireplace that was fairly dated. So the team covered it in porcelain slabs (10ft slabs) for a modern look. It was mitered and therefore had no seams. They also replaced the aging gas line and installed a remote controlled gas fireplace that would fit into the existing space. Craftsmanship & Integrity Our remodel went on longer than we expected (7 months), but the quality was outstanding. Gilor Group did not disappoint. Their team on-site -- Jesus, Gilbert, Joel, and others -- all did an amazing job. They were easy to communicate with. They were also meticulous about cleaning up the job site every day. I also want to highlight Gilor's fabricator and hardwood floor installer, which truly made them a one-stop shop for us. We had many waterfalls in our kitchen, and the fabricator did an incredible job -- the seams were literally invisible. The hardwood floor installation was also beautifully done. We used ultra-wide floors (9.5 inches), which are more difficult to install (can't just use nails). I know the installation was done right because we used a laser to check the lines and the floors were straight across a 40 ft length. If you're looking for a contractor group that you can trust to work independently, deliver quality work, and have experienced project managers on-site daily -- look no further. We are so grateful for the entire Gilor team and couldn't be happier with how our home turned out. We would work with Gilor Group again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them. Our pictures speak for themselves.

The roof was crushed, part of the structure separated, and we lost power for nearly a week. It was a stressful situation, and they handled it. They repaired all of the damage and still completed the full project within budget. That alone says a lot about how they run their jobs. Or Haim, the owner, is very communicative and genuinely cares about making sure everything meets expectations. That level of involvement made a difference. The fantastic onsite team was led by Jesus, who treated the project like it was his own home. He was thoughtful, detail-oriented, and clearly took pride in the work. We would absolutely hire Gilor again and are happy to serve as a reference.

He knows small spaces very well and was able to place the fixtures in their best locations. George would give us a heads up on our requests that were going to cost more than ~1k.
