Last January 2023 we had extremely heavy rains. Unfortunately my mother started having leaks on her bedroom ceiling under the 2nd floor balcony and the first contractor felt the cracked tiles on the balcony was the issue of the leaks inside the bedroom. Once the tiles were removed, the wooden structurer framing of the balcony under the tiles were extremely water damaged so our contractor told us at this point his expertise isn't in framing suggested we search for a new contractor to do the framing etc.as he didnot know a framing expert. Luckily we found ELI from GMBC Construction and he was great to work with during the entire project also he was able to start soon picking up where the other contractor stopped work. Anytime I had a question or concern he answered me promply and addressed my texts or calls. His communication , follow up and promises made were right on point. He continued to be right there for everything I needed to take care of this project. His team had to install a new sliding glass door, do framing, do the flash ,install new tiles and painted all areas that needed the touch up paint. As others have read before, I wish I could give him a higher rating than 5 stars. His assistant Claudia in the office was also great to work with and answered all my questions during this project especially during the process of the city permits. We ran into delays with mother nature- the rain and of course getting City Permits but at the end of it all, it was worth it. We have a great balcony and the work was high quality craftmanship. As far as price the prices quoted by the first contractor was nearly the same as GMBC. Great work by his team.

GMBC shattered a French door, then tried to claim it arrived that way!

We hired GMBC to do an addition and kitchen remodel on our new (and first) home. It has been an unmitigated disaster, caused by incompetence and outright lying. Everything has had to be redone except the foundation. Plumbing, electrical, deck, roof, cabinets, doors, nails, etc. Unfortunately, some of it is now permanent and we can't afford to redo - namely the framing itself, which is "swooping" and at odd angles. Yet GMBC would constantly tell us "this is the way it works," and even lie about passing inspections, in order to just collect checks on their front-loaded payment schedule. The City of Alameda inspectors themselves have been urging us to sue and offering to testify, as they've never seen such poor workmanship. Every contractor who comes to the house says it is the worst workmanship they've seen in their careers. We're talking shattered windows, pipes spraying everywhere, waste water just dumping into the basement - you name it. We have videos, photos, and inspection reports verifying the situation. On September 28, 2021, we finally attempted to fire GMBC. Yet Eli Dagan, the owner, insisted that it was the foreman's (Armando's) fault, and that he would fix the errors out of pocket. Given our financial losses due the project, we gave him one more chance. The new foreman (Alvaro), fixed the specific items called out by the City thus far, but continued to make grievous errors (plumbing, electrical, roof, etc.). We finally cut them off entirely last November. At this point, we have been living with three children, in half a house, and only a microwave + toaster for a kitchen, for nearly two years (GMBC said the project would take 3-4 months!). We are deeply in debt, and are on track to spend roughly 2X the original GMBC estimate in order to complete the project, now using sub-contractors we are managing directly to save money, because no other GC will take on such flawed work. We are still only at ~80%, and keep finding errors and having to re-open walls at great expense. E.g. as I write this, a contractor is ripping open a wall to redo a pocket door - which won't close because it was installed wrong and bowing under the weight of the poorly framed house - at a cost of $3,200. We are at our wits end, and this has hands down been the worst experience of our lives.

GMBC deserves a 5+ star rating for our major construction project! We started the journey of implementing our vision of building our first floor and connecting it to the top floor by interviewing many contractors and construction companies in early 2022. After several proposals, we chose Moshe and his crew because of not only their expertise and their record of high-quality work but also their open communication and overcommunication approach. Fast forward a year and a half, and they proved to be the best choice we made. Construction in San Francisco, getting all the permissions, going through all the inspections, and getting the certification at the end from the city is not an easy task. Our expansion project was not the largest project GMBC has undertaken, but it was certainly one of the most intricate. It included an office/bedroom with closet, bathroom, laundry room, shoe closet, large storage closet, large wet bar and lounge, entertainment area, and more. That went along with craftsmanship: cutting new skylights, building a new concrete slab with radiant floor heating, meticulously tiling the bathroom and wet bar, and adding detailed crown molding, etc. We loved all the crew and their signing while working. They were always on time, opening the garage door at 8am sharp, and truly skilled at their work, especially the foreman, Moises. He and his crew aimed for perfection and to make us, the customer, happy. They were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our satisfaction, even if it meant redoing parts of the work. Whenever we texted Moshe or Moises, they would quickly exchange messages, get on a call, or huddle with us to address anything. They were very accommodating when it came to change orders, always providing detailed documentation and ensuring proper signatures. That was particularly important to us as we were investing in this project for our own house and wanted to make many decisions along the way on top of the baseline plan; for instance, adding a drain in the garage, extending the new concrete slab into our backyard to build a patio with stamped concrete, installing a shed in the backyard, to mention a few. That said, various bumps happen along the way in such a project, and Moshe patiently and openly settled every single one to our satisfaction. In a nutshell, GMBC and the staff are trustworthy, responsible, skilled, hardworking, and do premium work. If we ever want to add a third floor to our house, on top of a hill in one of the coldest and rainiest times in San Francisco, we will give the work to GMBC again in the blink of an eye!

New garbage disposal with new plumbing. Leaking less than 2 months after completion. This joint was glued together. No threads at all.

Joe R.

Leaking less than two months after job completion. This joint was glued together. There are no threads to tighten this joint. Had to call a plumbler. I'm no expert, but I don't know how anyone in their right mind would think that this set up would remain water tight.

Would start off by saying, that MOISHE , Borensteine, did a awesome job of making sure we had the plan we wanted in the beginning. The price was set and it came in at what was promised., honestly we love are kitchen, of course there were hiccups,it was a major undertaking, having to remove alot of the ceiling and gut the kitchen. New floor and paint , new back sliding door and new kitchen window...A lot of people involved. A lot to keep track of, so if you plan something like this ,plan ahead. We are the most pleased with are new quartz countertops, and backsplash, it's beautiful..everything we asked for was delivered. So thank all that we're involved. Would I use again absolutely.. here's a couple pictures. Thanks again Moishe..

French doors installed and a step down to the backyard.

Thank You, Eli, Armando, and crew, for completing the construction and remodeling of the garage space for a game room, bathroom with toilet, shower and sink, and a wet bar. Your work is outstanding and your contract services were both fair and affordable for me as a first-time homeowner. This was not an easy project and required additional unexpected improvements as required by the Daly City Construction Permit Codes. My house belonged to my Grandma and there were many required changes before the construction was completed: pipe and sewer improvements, earthquake-seismic foundation enforcements, structural improvements, reconfiguring the garage door for code compliance, and other issues. This project started in 2018 and has just completed final inspection from the City of Daly City, I owe a debt of gratitude to GMBC for their patience and professionalism. Throughout this process, GMBC would communicate and discuss additional costs before he did anything. Eli gave me the assurance that everything will be worked out and in compliance with the City of Daly City. He was right and I am so grateful. I would hire GMBC Construction in a heartbeat. Thank you, Eli, Armando, and crew.

I just want to add an update to our kitchen remodel experience now that it is complete. It is even more beautiful than I was imagining! Eli's team worked consistently, diligently and thoughtfully throughout the duration of the project. I had chosen a certain tile for my backsplash, but Alber, the project manager suggested that I go a different way and I took his advice. I am so glad that I did! It was so great to have helpful ideas from the team because I was really learning as I was going, and I was able to really trust everyone that worked on this project. Paco, who did most of the actual labor on the kitchen was committed to doing a high quality job and he was willing to do whatever it took to get it done in a timely fashion but with a great deal of care. He helped me choose the correct grout color for my tiles and troubleshoot little issues that arose along the way. Anytime I had a question or a concern, I was able to reach out to someone and get a pretty quick response. After the kitchen was done, there was one lingering issue that involved an outside tile company and Eli stayed in constant contact with me to help me make sure the issue was resolved. I think Eli is an exceptional contractor because of his integrity, fairness and consistent, respectful communication. It was a true pleasure working with him and everyone on his team. They are a group of honest, trustworthy people that are easy to work with and to me, those are the qualities in a company that are most important. If you are new to this process, you will be in great hands with GMBC. And if you are not new to it, then they will be a breath of fresh air! I give them my HIGHEST recommendation!

Come along for a real picture. I'm going to be talking about this whole experience with GMBC. I'm pretty fair in my reviews, and I don't exaggerate like others. Before starting -- I don't monitor, I trust and let them do their work... NOTE: I provided all rough and 99% of the finished materials (except 20ft of electrical, 15ft quarterround, 15ft door trim) not cheaped out. We bought top notch stuff for what purpose it was for, lots of it was wasted and some of it was ruined. 1 - GMBC and 4 other bidders came, we took GMBC(30k to 20k,I provided materials so it's no discount) because they appeared top notch. 2 - project needed to be done at the end of april 3 - needed to communicate extensively (made that a point) 4 - we had 3 items needed: bathroom, new attic access, electrical sub panel replacement - was promised an "engineer" would review and provide some electrical analysis, never happened. Main problems: 1 - Lack of project management (complete lack - except for money collection -- borderline pushy, I have the text to prove it). 2 - Communication problems - few and far between (time delay, scheduling, excuses, failure on expectation) 3 - Quality of work was about 90% potato (2nd tiler was the only good guy) 4 - Lots of delays, and excuses. We felt like we were bottom of the barrel customers. Here's what GMBC stepped into: 1 - bathroom was demo'd by another contractor that we fired for wasting our time 2 - attic was not started 3 - electrical not started This should have been a cakewalk from my perspective, do the measurements, cut and build (bathroom was demo'd already)... then the attic should have been just cut open, reinforce and install FAKRO LWP 66809. electrical, not an expert, but I saw them do it in like 1/2 a day (no elec analysis provided)... 1 - project management sucked - was promised weekly arrivals to monitor progress and got really almost nothing. I don't understand the purpose. I bring something up and get no feedback for days at times. 2 - the crew, while they are nice -- they come in and drop tools, dinged our walls up, and can't really paint. I'm sorry none of them know how to paint well. 3 - lots of excuses... "oh they aren't part of our core crew" "oh i heard he's had some complaints before but I wanted to give him a chance" our home is not your experiment. Attic access was installed 100% not square. When confronted with this problem their words to me were "well we don't do /semi custom/ work" -- Please tell me how does mounting a prebuilt ladder, custom in any way? I was already stuck with them, and let it go. Then asking why it took so long, I got some other excuse about how there was extra work. They can't even put trim up flush... summer rolls around, wood expands -- now my staircase rubs, the trim is not flush (This was built by their BEST finish guy). There is tons of missing details, I can write a novel about this if the opportunity comes up. Bathroom build. We bought a schluter shower system with rough material. The guy tells me he ran out of material -- I see washers and screws in the trash, and he mentions he has no more. I saw his handy work and was appalled. I bought 120% of material to cover, and around 80% was up. The foam boards were not cut straight. All jagged and nothing aligned, not even flat in some places. some horizontal, some square, some rectangle. Potato quality... Std shower size 60"x30"x96" bathroom and they failed with 12 full sized boards. These guys put tools on our bed, used our restroom without asking, and damaged our walls and dropped tools on the floor. Response was "not our core guys, sorry" - type message. Asked why the bathroom was taking so long, was greeted with "permit submission delay". I asked union city -- when was the permit submitted, it was right before inspection date.., PM failure. The bathroom was most of the grief and it was mainly demonstrating that they had no clue how to project manage this. Many times I get "well our guys aren't use to the material being in the house" -- The material was in our house before you started (less the lumber for that one day) There's a ton more to say but yelp sucks too. All in all, after finishing up -- these guys walked out knowing they screwed this project good. Toilet tank is crooked, and cracked because they screwed in the tank crooked and stress cracks are formed. I had to repaint the restroom because it was (as my wife quotes) "a sh*t show". Lots of details left out from the horrid workmanship they left me (pictures to come). I'm an engineer, I might not be able to build a house myself, but I know exactly what goes into it. Pro Tip: You don't throw fast 5 on drywall that has broken paper then immediately paint, you clean the edges and then put on mud wait for it to dry then paint (which you didn't do, i have cracks and paint peeling to deal with) At the end, mediocre level of work for a premium price. Unsatisfied, not welcome back for sure.

Highly recommended!!!! We stumbled upon GMBC construction on Yelp when considering to start our kitchen remodel. They had great reviews and the photos did them justice. After our free consultation with Eli the GM we immediately felt like we could trust him and his team with our home! He was easy to talk to, honestly felt like we had known him for a while. He returned a few days later with the plan drawn out by their engineer exactly the way we wanted it. They proceeded to contact our City office to get permits pulled for us. Considering the extensive detail of change in our kitchen layout, (appliances were moved to different sides of the kitchen), we had a supporting wall knocked down to have an open floor plan, they made an opening for a barnyard door for us to playroom, we were ready to spend a lot of money. In the end, we felt the quality of their work was worth the cost! Although because of covid, the shipping of cabinets & appliances were delayed and city permits held them back for inspections, they prioritized our remodel! They were there every weekday to work for 8 hours. Jose the foreman was super easy to communicate with and he took any issues we had and made it easy to deal with throughout the 5 months it ended up taking! They installed new flooring throughout the kitchen and living space and the quality of work was excellent! Eli was always available by text or call when we had concerns with the project. He even went to meet us at the cabinet store several times. Thank you Eli for giving us our dream kitchen! Everyone who visits us is so impressed by the design! When we save enough money we will definitely be remodeling our bathroom with this team again!

Master bath ensuite with wet room equipped with large tub and rainfall shower

Happy to leave a positive review for GMBC! My wife and I worked with Moshe to plan an addition project that included: - Master Bathroom Ensuite - Master Bedroom Extension - Laundry Room Moshe also helped us remodel our kitchen and hallway bathroom. We're extremely happy with the results, and highly recommend GMBC for your construction needs.

Rewind 5 months ago, and the whole ordeal of restoring our entire bathroom and main entryway begins. The condo upstairs had blown a water heater and we came home to water dripping everywhere. The shared ceiling and our walls were completely soaked and damaged, and all the drywall and entire bathroom had to be torn out down to the frame. We chose GMBC to restore our home because A) we wanted control over the restoration B) the insurance company's contractor could not start in a timely manner. Without a doubt it was an annoying process to go through, but we are glad we went with GMBC. They did a great job restoring our home and we are happy with the end product. Do keep in mind that this was not a typical remodel as we had in mind that insurance was paying for all of this. My advice to anyone in this situation is to remember that you are your best advocate when dealing with an insurance claim. Thank you Eli for helping guide us through the process of ensuring that we get reimbursed properly for what was damaged. Thank you Alber and to Jonathan who diligently worked on getting our home back to better than it was before. They were responsive and kept us up to date throughout the entire process, even when we hit the unseen road bumps along the way. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you Moshe and the crew for making us a beautiful bathroom addition!! Starting from the beginning with your architect Diego, really what an amazing guy with all his advice and expertise. there were different crews on our project and all around great guys! Moshe the manager of our project was a real pleasure to deal with and frankly we couldn't have done this out him. The project took a bit longer then expected because of delays between city inspection which was really unfortunate for there were some time periods with out work. With all the work performed I really appreciated the cleanliness and effort to make sure we were as comfortable as possible throughout the project and we also liked the communication through text or a phone call weather it was just an update or a question which really kept me at ease instead of my fear of potentially micro managing the project and getting zero sleep! I would say this was a great experience as hoped for and we are truly satisfied with the over all quality and workmanship!! Definitely 5 !!!

Contacted the company via yelp. Quick response and availability was great. Goal of coarse was to keep the price down as much as possible essentially for the small projects I had. Work was able to get completed prior to the holidays which no other contracting company had availability until February 2018. Overall the experience was good. For the price and work done I expected some items to be included with the work being paid for. However, it was a job well done and I highly recommend this company. Issues noticed following the work. Personnel from GMBC responded quickly and touch up work in progress. read more

My husband and I hired GMBC after a fire broke in our condo complex, and sustained damage to our unit. We struggled finding contractors who would 1. Work with us knowing we have an HOA and 2. Could start work soon enough. From day 1, Eli at GMBC was communicative and I was always able to get a fairly quick response whether it be through email, text or phone call. We had several hiccups along the way (from the HOA side) and while I had my fears that at some point he would not want to work with us anymore due to the HOA, this never deterred Eli. His team took this project head on and finished within the timeframe he set of 2 weeks! It was a long month for my family and I of not knowing how soon we could move back in but Eli managed to work miracles and get us back sooner than we anticipated. Apart from the quick turnaround time, Eli was always kind and worked with me through each concern. As I'm sure everyone feels, it is important that I hire someone reliable and someone I can have a good working relationship with (professional, responsive, and no BS!) - this is absolutely what I received working with GMBC. I would recommend them to anyone who needs work done to their home. Thank you Eli!!!! read more

Let me just start off that my wife and I are very happy with the end result. Our condo now looks great and functional; just the way we want it. Eli's crew did a great job renovating our condo. I can't say the same about the process though. Many friends told me my experience is not unique. This is one of the hardest project I have done in my life. If I was asked to do it again, I probably would have said, "No." My wife and I slept in the condo during the renovation. They did the construction while we went to work. We had to live with the mess and dust for several months. The whole process tested our patience. Eli's crew were professional and easy to work with; although, there were some language barriers. I had a lot of help from his foreman, Armando Contreras. He was a great guy to work with; unfortunately, he did not work on my place all the time. He had several projects at once. When we do have him, it seems nothing can go wrong. Armando will make sure everything we want is what gets installed. It's when he's not around where some things were done incorrectly. They were corrected, but the corrections took some time. They were all professionally done. We expected the project to take 3 months, but the whole thing took over 6 months. There were mistakes, miscommunication, and having to wait for inspection. Again, we are happy with the overall result. What I would have differently is to not stay in the condo during construction. If I could afford it, I would have hired my designer to run the project. There were many times I was called to make decision on the design, even though they are on the floor plan. This project took a lot of my time, money, and patience. read more

We wanted to remodel our small, dark galley kitchen and change our floors. We have never done a remodel before, so we did a lot of research to find the right contractor for the job. We are so grateful that we found Eli and GMBC! He and everyone that worked on our project were helpful, kind, communicative, professional and dedicated to making sure we were happy with the final product. And we definitely are. They put in a sun tunnel that has completely transformed the space. It is now so bright, light and spacious, even though it is still the same, narrow kitchen. It feels twice as big! The price was very fair and Eli predicted the job would take 2-3 weeks and it was true - they finished in 3 weeks and everything came out beautifully! Our entire experience with GMBC, from beginning to end, was incredibly positive. When we are ready to remodel our bathrooms, we will definitely be using GMBC again. We cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Unprofessional and way overpriced! The guy came to my house to give me an estimate about adding drywall to my garage's ceiling and walls. He took some photos and sent them to the office asking for the price... The whole point you being here is we can discuss the project and fees in person. Otherwise you can simply give me the estimate over the phone. Then he quoted me 16k for the job, which is the most absurd number I have heard! (Twice more expensive than average) My garage is 360sf and only need drywall for 2 walls. The typical price is $5 per sft for ceiling and $4 per sft for wall. I do need some framing to support the ceiling but it only adds about 2k. If you just want to get some basic stuffs done, I would recommend staying away from this company. read more

I didn't have a great experience with this company and we were looking forward to working with them. They were very quick to respond to us asking to come out for an estimate and were able to come to our house in a couple of days, so that was a positive experience. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. We needed our flooring replaced and ceiling fixed due to water damage. The gentleman that came by was only at our house for approximately 5 minutes. He didn't take any measurements, any pictures, didn't seem enthused at all about the project. I mean, that's fine to not be enthused, I don't care about that part. But he said, "just send me whatever insurance sent you so I can get you an estimate tomorrow." OK, thought that was weird since every other contractor took measurements. I emailed him the insurance document at his request. After 3 days, we didn't hear back about an estimate even though they said they'd get it to us the next day. With things going on and COVID, we understood and wanted to be patient. We texted and emailed just asking for an update with no response. I figured they were just ghosting us at this point. 10 days later this company finally emails us back with an estimate $9k more than the most expensive contractor that came by. Not only that, they didn't even attach an estimate sheet to go over what the charges would entail. The whole experience just seemed super unprofessional which is unfortunate. Hopefully people have a better experience than us. read more

GMBC Construction has satisfied my needs throughout this entire construction project. I hired them after hearing good things about them from my brother in law. They have been working on my kitchen for a little over a month now. The final preparations of my kitchen have just taken effect this week. The timeframe for completion is 5 weeks. We are in the fifth week and they are right on schedule. The final preparations are the flooring and appliances. Based on what has already been completed, the kitchen looks fantastic! I can't wait for the final touches to be ready. My family is looking forward to having a complete kitchen remodel. It is where we spend most of our time. I recommend this company for your remodeling needs. read more

Our project involved the re-construction of an 800 sf single story livable space over an existing foundation with crawl space. The first issue arose when GMBC demolished 2 existing floor support footings because Moishe said they were in the wrong location according to the plans. Meanwhile, they didn't realize that a temporary power pole was going to be required to facilitate the installation of the new power panel. This delayed the construction about 2 months. It took a full month between the first inspection for underfloor MEP and framing sub floor to correct enough Architect's and City Inspector inspection items in order to finally pass inspection. Exposed wiring had to be protected, temp electrical panels relocated, crooked floor framing had to be straightened out, fasteners had to be swapped out with code compliant fasteners, hold downs had to be relocated, the HVAC ducting rough in had to be completely redone. Plumbing stub ups were incomplete until reworked several times. The crew worked on average about 2 days a week and without direct supervision of a Foreman or Superintendent during most of the 5 months they were on site. They walked off the job 2 weeks ago after they got paid for the underfloor MEP and framing sub floor. read more

Just completed my entire house with GMBC Construction! Eli and his team were professional, friendly and clean the entire time. They passed inspections, and passed all the time frames right away and with no issues. The crew was very friendly throughout the entire project and they kept my house clean each day before they left. I was very skeptical and worried before doing my remodeling and when I met Eli, I knows right away that I was in good hands. We were happy and satisfied throughout the project and are even happier now with the results. My house is beautiful. The work and detail is outstanding and I could not have asked for a better job done! Thank you so much to the whole team at GMBC Construction! Highly recommend using this company if you are looking for someone to get your project done from A to Z with an outstanding outcome! read more

If you need a roof replaced, or have other construction plans, GMBC Construction is the way to go. It took me several weeks to find the right construction company to replace the roof on my home. I interviewed several vendors and by far, GMBC Construction was the most reasonable in cost for the work required. I had done my research and recognized some bids were to low for the job required and others were ridiculously too high ( for example, a major home improvement store quoted me an insane price to do the job required). While there can be challenges to the construction required with HOA requirements, the Project Manager, Moshe, was superb. He understood clearly what was required, communicated effectively with HOA board representative, and most importantly, clearly explained to me, what needed to be done and this was consistent with the research I had done. Again, cost was reasonable and explained thoroughly. Moshe, communicated with me daily and as needed about the progress of the job. The roof was completed on time (within a week as anticipated) and looks beautiful. My neighbors have complimented me on how great the roof looks and how quickly and efficiently the work was done. Furthermore, the roofers were very polite, kept me informed also of any concerns, and cleaned up the debris daily and as needed. Bottom line: I recommend GMBC Construction highly if you want expert and reasonably priced work done for your home. Expert and professional staff. Great job! read more

GMBC Construction (Lic# 1025897) should not be trusted with your home remodeling project. This company is focused on getting as much profit from each job while minimizing customer satisfaction and craftsmanship. We hired GMBC Construction to remodel a small bathroom in November of 2019 and the job is still not finished as of December 2020. The company will allow the details of the job to remain incomplete while holding your entire project hostage until full payment is made. Be warned, GMBC Construction will demand full payment of the project prior to completing their work leaving you with work unfinished after making full payment! GMBC Construction also fails to honor their commitments to work in a clean manner preserving the order of your home. Their crew continued to track construction dirt through our home after promising to work neat. They will also perform cutting of materials in your garage leaving the dust and debris for you to clean up after they leave. If trust in a contractor's, craftsmanship or value are important to your remodeling project I would look to another company. I would not recommend this company for large or small home remodeling projects. read more

Eli and the whole team at GMBC construction were incredible. They completed my entire house, inside and outside and I could not be happier. The process ran smoothly from beginning to end, and the couple minor hiccups were solved immediately by Eli. When I bought my house, I was nervous about buying a house that needed remodeling but when I met Eli, I knew that I was in good hands. His team was at my house every morning before 7:30 and when they left my house was left nice and clean. They were clean, respectful, and very friendly throughout the entire project. Eli gave me a time of 3 and a half months to complete the project and it took them less then 3 months. They sailed through all the inspections and completed everything before the time they said they would. I am thrilled with the remodeling done and can not wait to recommend Eli and his team team at GMBC construction for anyone who wants a job well done while being informed the whole time and being happy throughout the entire process. They are more then a 5 star company!! read more

My wife and I wanted to replace a very large single pane window in the dining room with a dual pane energy-efficient window. We called GMBC Construction and Moshe and his crew did a fantastic job from start to finish. I appreciated the suggestions Moshe gave me regarding the tint of the window, which was very important to my wife and it turned out just perfect. We were also very pleased with the workmanship of the crew. They sealed and weatherproofed the window which helped lower our energy bills. They also cleaned up and hauled away all of the debris.

We hired Eli do build a retainning wall, however we found out later that the GMBC does not do much them self, after they get money from the homeowner, they start looking for the subcontactor. So, it took us over 6 months to complete structural, soil engineering plans and reports, city permit, cost of the above $16K. An estimate verbally given to us for the wall was around $30K, after 6 months Eli presented a written contract which showed price for the wall of $113K. About 3 times more expensive. We of course did not agree to it and got much better estimate from someone else. According to Eli he had everything ready to start the wall, we found later it is not the case. Some corrections needed to done on the soil report, engineering plans had some discrepancy and needed to be corrected. Architectural plans were not even given to us. We had to request it. We of course ended up with additional cost. Eli was not helpfull, he insists he did everything right. My advice - think twice of hiring GBMC for any work, especially if Eli is the guy. read more

I just asked Eli to design lighting for our house as we were happy with the way he responded to a number of projects that we needed done for us in the past. I am a client returning because I have been pleased with work done in the past. Personal circumstances required that we needed to live in our house while we had repairs completed and work was planned to accommodate what we could do at the time. The first project was a new roof for our "sun room" which has two skylights which always seemed to leak when other contractors had supposedly sealed them. This time after numerous failures by other companies, we still have a dry "sun room" 4 to 5 years later. Some time later, we had dry rotted wood trim and termite damaged sections removed, gutters replaced, and we had our house and trim painted on the outside. Next, attention was given to the inside because our kitchen floor had water damage from a water line leaking to our ice-maker. Then, a leaking dishwasher forced us to delay Eli's work until the leak was resolved. . We were very pleased with how he worked around our urgent needs, and then, had our kitchen and bathrooms upgraded. Our kitchen has a beautiful granite counter top and a beautiful travertine back splash. Eli took the time to listen to us and arranged the work to accommodate our needs. We have beautiful functional bathrooms. He designed one small bathroom to accommodate a handicap's special needs. An occupational therapist and several physical therapists were impressed when they came to evaluate the environment. We like some one who listens to our needs. read more

Your Carpenter Friend

(75 reviews)

This is my very first Yelp review, and I truly felt this business deserved an excellent one. All…read morethe positive reviews you see are absolutely accurate. Professionalism: The team at Your Carpenter Friend was professional, meticulous, and clean, and they did an excellent job repairing dry rot around our home. They were so good that we've already recommended them to a couple of friends, and I hope they get the opportunity to work with them as well. Licensed: Yes Pricing: Pricing was reasonable and on par with other vendors we considered. Recommendation: Yes--100% recommend them. We plan to hire them again next year for additional work in the spring/summer, and I'll be happy to update this review then. Skill: They are truly skilled carpenters (Brendan, Zach, and Sam), which feels rare these days. While I don't do woodworking myself, I can certainly recognize and appreciate quality craftsmanship. In several areas, Zach and Sam came up with creative solutions to ensure water would not sit on the wood. They also discovered additional dry rot during the project and always consulted with us and obtained approval before proceeding. They worked non-stop--even in the cold! Work: I initially contacted Brendan for a mix of handyman work along with exterior dry rot repairs. He was honest and upfront about what could realistically be done during the dry season, so we decided to focus solely on the dry rot repairs. As it turned out, Brendan is a former termite inspector--perfect for anyone needing dry rot repair. They worked at our home for 3 days. There was one small area that wasn't painted on one side; once we brought it to his attention, Brendan came back the very next day to fix it. Their goal is clearly to make the customer happy, within reason. BTW -- he also does decks. Thank you, Brendan & Team!

He and his guys completed the job on schedule and on budget, which sadly seems like a rarity these days.

I am planning another home exterior project next spring and would not hesitate to use this company for the carpentry work.

Prime Design & Build

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.

Owning an older home comes with inevitable surprises, so we wanted a team who could problem-solve creatively. That's where Liran shined.

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.

A lot of contractors and businesses I contacted for quotes ended up either not showing up because the job was too small or they gave me outrageous quotes, but Farr was the only one to give a fair quote and a detailed scope of work. My previous roommate and I were absolutely thrilled with the final result, and the showers were a big selling point when I sold off my condo.

They may be fine for small tiling jobs, or a cheap kitchen flip that you don't care about the quality but anything beyond that is a mistake. Project Experience: -Disorganized & Poor Communication: Ruben, the contractor, constantly miscommunicated with his crew, leading to errors and wasted time. The crew speaks limited English, and Ruben failed to properly relay instructions. -Constant Rescheduling & Delays: The project was plagued with intentional delays because they were trying to juggle randoms crew members to the job site. They do not have a dedicated crew. To keep the job moving, I had to step in and install my stove hood myself. Quality of Work: -Minimal Supervision & Costly Mistakes: Ruben was only on-site for 30 minutes to an hour a day. The crew made frequent errors, wasted materials, and ultimately cost me an extra $5,000 in materials. Unprofessional Workmanship: -A crew member (Adrian) improperly used self-leveling, causing mortar to seep through walls and doors. -The same worker almost set my kitchen on fire due to incorrect wiring. -A junior crew member (Manuel) threw away new materials, further increasing costs. -My husband and I had to redo the wall texture they applied because it was done so poorly. -The countertop was improperly installed (by Victor), leading to a post-installation crack. The contractor promised to fix it but was a no-show, wasting an entire day of our time. -The dishwasher was incorrectly installed (Ricardo), requiring my husband to take a day off to reinstall it. Material Pricing & Usage: The contractor ordered materials on my behalf, but the pricing changed and was increased without transparency. The crew also took materials I paid for to use on other job sites. Also on two occasions, we had to order more tiles at 3x the cost because all the measurements were incorrect. Other Issues: -The crew trashed and clogged our bathroom toilet. They denied responsibility until I installed a camera--only then did the issue stop. -Never reimbursed or refunded for damages and extra expenses. Final Verdict: Ruben is a nice guy and means well, but his company is not equipped for big jobs (over $10K). If you have a small bathroom tile job, they might be fine, but anything beyond that--find a better contractor. We rushed to finish the project just to be done with them, and in hindsight, we should have hired someone else from the start. Do not make the same mistake we did. 2/5 - Would not recommend for major home renovations. Recommend for small jobs only.

My husband requested several contractors from yelp to quote us on our kitchen project and to be honest this whole gurney in finding an ideal contractor was a nightmare. After much due diligence we proceeded to contract with Gmbc, and was extremely pleased wit their professionalism and patience! The project took approx 2.5 months as promised, timing was key for us and wanted to have the projects done prior to moving back in!!! A big selling point was the owner Moshe and his designer creating several 3D designs and helping us choose finishing materials which ended up all coming beautifully together! Moshe was superb!! Taking us shopping to his suppliers and making everything such a pleasure to deal with. Moshe and his foreman constantly informing us throughout the entire project and one thing in particular I really liked was that even the smallest detail was brought to our attention to decide how we'd like it installed. I WASN'T happy at all about a $2,200 change order which was due to the fact that our piping was in poor condition and needed to be changed, Only wished I new about that before so I could prepare or handle it otherwise. There were several crews in and out throughout and they were very respectful and clean which was a pleasure because before we moved in the home was basically clean. I L.O.V.E my new kitchen and I honestly have to say it came out gorgeous!! Not what I expected in a GOOD WAY!! Thank you so much Moshe and Gmbc Construction for making this all happen!!!!!! read more

I had great experience working with Eli from GMBC. Eli made the process very smooth for me and was very helpful. He is always available via text msgs and responds back to me very promptly. My project was result of some water damage and I had to work with a difficult insurance adjuster. Eli went on multiple calls with my insurance adjuster and explained to him the difference in estimates when many other contractors wouldn't go this extra mile. He was also understanding with my timeline and patient with me as my insurance claim was taking a longer time. I added few things in addition to our initial project and Eli was able to accommodate all of those. Armando was the foreman and managed everything nicely. Quality wise I am very satisfied with the drywall repair crew and paint crew. Miguel for painting did a good job and worked very well with me. Entire crew was very professional, polite and clean. They work very fast and dont compromise quality at all. Their prices are reasonable as well. They might be working on bigger projects but they gave me same importance as anyone else. I would definitely recommend Eli to everyone and would definitely hire them again in future. read more

The weather this year took a toll on our roof and we ended up with a big leak that damaged our dining room, so we knew it was time for a new roof. After collecting a couple of estimates (recommended contractors) we ended up going with GMBC because of their professionalism. One of their managers came out Moshe, and explained to us everything we needed to know about roofing and made us feel comfortable with the entier process. the workers were here on time every day, they cleaned up every day, also had them repair our interior walls and ceiling which was great as expected. We were really impressed with their work and i would definitely recommend them to someone who is looking for a reliable contractor. read more

GMBC is definitely a 5 star company. From the first time we met, until the day my job was complete, they were professional, friendly, and next level courteous. My wife and I were a bit afraid in the beginning because of stories we have heard, but we were overly happy the whole time. We were well informed of what was going to happen each week and were kept in the loop about everything. If we had questions, they were answered with a smile and we never felt like we were overbearing or asking too many questions, even though we knew we were! We just completed our kitchen and 2 bathrooms and when we do our addition in February, we will be using GMBC! Highly recommend to everyone! Thank you GMBC. read more

I am a freelance architect designer and drafter. I meet Eli 5 years ago and he started to trust me the designs for his projects. My job is easy: lot of lines and circles in a big piece of paper... BUT... Eli and his team really know how to interpreter lines and circle and make of them beautiful, confortable and useful buildings! There are nothing better than see your lines converted in reality and help families to see their dreams fulfilled. I really enjoy to work with Eli, Mini, Moshe and all the GMBC team. I can recommend them 100% as your next contractor! Diego Valencia A Construction & Documentation Services read more

I contracted GMBC for stucco work at my house. Andrew was the project Manager. Andrew's top priority was customer satisfaction. He encouraged me to bring up any concern/request I had as the job progressed, each one was promptly addressed. His crew was very respectful of my family and property. Clean up done end of each day. Andrew was very responsive to my text/calls. Communicated daily updates on the job progress. He visited the job site frequently and made sure everything was going as scheduled. Andrew takes pride his work and wants his customers to be satisfied and happy with final product. read more

Everything from A to Z was amazing. A couple glitches but it took less then a day to solve the issue and they were right back on track! This is the best experience I could have ever gotten from a contractor, and Eli and his team were amazing!

When we looked for a company to take care of a leak noticed in one of the bed rooms, we looked at the various reviews and were impressed by the feedback on this company and hence decided to contact GMBC. Eli inspected our home and guided us with solutions to address the problem reported. The confidence and the meticulous plan proposed by Eli gave us lots of comfort during the execution phase and the project was completed in a timely and efficient manner with periodic status updates. read more
