***Update** The business has since responded claiming the deposit was applied to "design services." For clarity, I never signed a contract for design or construction, and there was no agreed-upon scope or pricing for any such services. The deposit was provided while a contract was still being negotiated, and I was told it would be refunded if I chose not to proceed. I never signed anything, not the contract or no paperwork from the company, none at all. ********** My experience raises serious concerns about communication, transparency, and how deposits are handled. Initially, Carlos was very personable and professional--multiple visits, strong rapport, and a good first impression. Based on that, and verbally agreeing to review the contract I provided a $1,000 deposit while we worked toward finalizing an ADU agreement. During negotiations, the project cost unexpectedly increased by $50,000, which led me to reconsider moving forward. At that time, I was explicitly told the deposit would be refunded if I chose not to proceed. After I declined, communication stopped entirely. Then, three weeks later, I received an email reversing that position, stating the deposit would not be refunded and had been applied to "pre-construction/design services." There was no signed agreement clearly defining the deposit as non-refundable, nor a clearly agreed scope authorizing those charges. This kind of inconsistency and practice --being told one thing, then later something completely different--creates serious concerns that future clients should be aware of. I strongly recommend that anyone considering working with this contractor ensure: All terms are clearly documented in writing Deposit conditions are explicitly defined. No assumptions are made based on verbal statements Proceed with extreme caution! *I encourage potential clients to do thorough research, including checking the contractor's license status and any available history through the CSLB before moving forward -) I unfortunately didnt. In addition to my experience, I later discovered through the CSLB that this contractor has multiple violations on record, including receiving more money than work completed and performing work without proper permits. I encourage anyone considering hiring them to verify this information directly through the CSLB." Cslb.ca.gov read more

I'm very happy with the roof replacement done by Good Neighbor Construction. Carlos was great to work with from the beginning. He gave me a detailed estimate, explained the materials very clearly, and came to the property in person to go over everything with me. He was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. They also took care of the permit, and the whole process was smooth and efficient. The new roof came out great, and I'm very satisfied with the final result. Everything passed inspection smoothly, which was very important to me. As an added bonus, my insurance company gave me a better rate after the new roof was completed. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the entire experience and would be happy to work with them again in the future. Highly recommend. read more

We are very happy with the work that Carlos and crew at Good Neighbor Construction performed. From the outset, Carlos was down to earth, professional and no pressure whatsoever. We had several projects we were considering; Carlos helped us decide what would best be in scope for our budget. We were able to do a complete demo and renovation of our guest bathroom to a much more modern design that we love and laid down new tile in the guest bedroom. We also had some cement and paver work done outside and a new iron wrought fence to enclose our pool equipment. Throughout the process, Carlos was communicative with updates and the project came in on time and at budget. After having had some really bad experiences over the years with contractors, the team at Good Neighbor proved there are good ones out there. We will definitely use them for future projects. read more

Good Neighbor Construction - Bathroom cabinet - General Contractors Near Me - Redlands, California

I started the design for an ADU about a year ago. I was very fortunate to find and hire Good Neighbor Construction to build it. Construction started last July. Carlos is great to work with. His crews did a great job. Carlos kept me very informed throughout the process. We exchanged hundreds of texts and we met frequently to discuss the progress and any changes in the scope of work. The plumber for the project happens to be his younger brother Alex (Simple Plumbing), who did a great job. I was very impressed with his attention to details. I didn't hesitate to call Alex to fix an emergency water leak in the existing house. All the exterior work has been completed and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome so far. I included some photos of before and after that show how the new construction fits perfectly with the existing house. I highly recommend Good Neighbor Construction. read more

I hired Good Neighbor for a balcony repair/renovation and Carlos was very thorough in his explanation of what would be done. Once demolition was complete, they identified actual structural issues that would have a significant change in the scope of the project. They provided different options and spent the time to really go over each until we had a plan that everyone was comfortable with. While the project cost and scope changed by quite a bit, this wasn't the normal bait and switch I've experienced before. Carlos and his team did quality work and went out of their way to make sure it was a good experience. The communication was extensive and professional. If you're looking for a quality contractor, Good Neighbor is worth the consideration. read more
