At first, we only wanted a second floor- which would have been very hard because we lived on a slope. However Tony was always available and open to changes on the design, and he finished quickly and efficiently (on the timeline). And because Tony was so efficient and kind we decided to remodel the rest of out house. We chose him out of five other contractors because he properly explained the process, his fees were mid-range, and he delivered a great quality product as seen in his other homes. His teams is also spectacular, we got to know them very well. They were very professional, nice, and knowledgeable. They work together well and we trusted them a lot. We love our house and will always use Tony for any future jobs. We also highly recommend Tony to others.

While we hope we won't have the need, if so at another property, we would hire Mark again in a second if ever we were faced with a flooding, drainage or related issue. We live on a slight hill and our garage flooded the past 4-5+ years. It was horrible. (See photos) It had been getting worse each year. At first we tried fixing on our own by making some drainage improvements. That did not work. The next year we hired a general contractor but, as we later realized, he did not have the expertise in this specific area. He did install some new drainage and waterproofing, etc., but his "solution" was really no solution at all. Sadly, the flooding in our garage persisted just as before. After that experience we realized that our drainage and flooding issue needed a true pro with this specific experience and expertise. Therefore, the following year we interviewed several contractors who "said" they were experts at drainage and flooding issues. Mark stood-out amongst the group when we met him. His many years of experience, and specifically working on properties with drainage and flooding issues, allowed him to have a more clear vision than any other contractor for a solution to our problem. We scheduled the work for summer 2023. Mark and team were in/out in less than two weeks, just as he said, and his team was very professional, hard working, and courteous. While we never doubted Mark and his team, we felt it was more honest to wait and write this review after the 2023/2024 rainy season. It's now mid-March 2024 and we've had many, many big rainy days and nights that, in the past, would absolutely have flooded our garage and had my wife and would be down there sweeping out the water. This winter: WE HAVE NOT HAD ONE DROP OF WATER flood into our garage! The drainage has worked perfectly. The work Mark did has worked perfectly and we could not be happier. We are soooooo glad that we met and hired Mark and UH Improvements..... Thank you Mark and the team at UH Improvements ! We are forever grateful. -Steven & Kim

We have worked with Mike Cacci on two remodels twenty years apart.

Mike is the only contractor that my husband and I would ever use. When Mike tells you he is going to be done on a certain date, he is done on that date. He picks excellent sub-contractors who match his commitment to quality work. We look forward to working with Mike again in 20 years!

We hired Mike to remodel our home after hearing about his attention to detail and his ability to…read morestay on schedule, so we put him to the test: - We were having a baby two weeks after Mike's scheduled completion date for the project and planned to move back in before the birth, leaving little room for delays - We surprised Mike with requests to add significantly more scope to the project, totaling at over 60 change orders Mike succeeded, cramming a significantly larger project into the same timeline while maintaining a high quality bar for all work. The project covered most aspects of the home, including changing the wiring, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, roofing, windows, doors, and refinishing all walls inside and out as well as expanding some rooms and raising ceilings. Mike had a capable team, suppliers, and subs. Jason, the project foreman, especially stood out with strong communication and clever problem solving when surprises came up. One thing we appreciated was how Mike and Jason proactively offered ideas to make the remodel better. Many of our favorite details of the remodel are actually the result of their suggestions, such as flipping our living room layout and creating a storage area in the attic. We're now at 9 months since the remodel and it has held up well and we're happy with the results. A few areas did need minor follow-ups, but Mike and Jason have been responsive and handled everything. We had previous projects with other contractors who wouldn't respond or follow through on follow-ups, so this has been a relief and a reason we'd choose Mike and Jason again for future projects.

CaliBuilder team did a complete bathroom remodeling for us. It took longer than expected (~ 6…read moremonths all together), but we loved the final result! This turned out to be a very detailed and complicated project with many moving parts. We ripped out the entire old bathroom including walls, ceiling, the floor, and redid everything from scratch. We also repositioned the bathtub, vanity, and redid the entire plumbing system. The project manager, Azeen was very responsive, involved and caring. Along the way, Azeen was always available to answer any of our project/progress related questions, to address our concerns, and to discuss next steps. Azeen jumped at resolving any issues, and she also helped with finished product selection, provided her advice and guidance on design. It was a pleasure to work with her. Despite some bumps, and challenges, which alway come up with any construction project, overall we are very happy that we've selected CaliBuilder for this project and we are fully satisfied with our new beautiful bathroom. One note - we've realized that the project success does not only depend on the professional and detail-oriented project manager but also on the skill and attention to detail of the workmen. Initially we had someone who did not seem to be as focused and often produced results below expectation, but then the new crew was amazing! We highly recommend this team!

We approached Calibuilder for our bathroom remodel after hearing great reviews from our neighbors…read more We worked with Azeen as our project manager. At the time, I was 32 weeks pregnant and hoping to have the remodel completed before our baby arrived. Azeen came over, listened carefully to our needs, and patiently discussed all the details with us. Our project was a like-for-like bathroom remodel, and Calibuilder's quote was competitive compared to other companies we considered. Knowing that our neighbors also had a great experience gave us confidence in choosing them. Throughout the project, we had a group chat with Azeen, where we documented all the finer details to ensure nothing was missed. This was incredibly helpful in keeping everyone aligned as the project progressed. Azeen also recommended a few stores for finishes and tiles--we went with Porcelanosa and are very happy with the final result. She prioritized our project, which we really appreciated given the baby could arrive any day. While there were a few things that initially didn't turn out the way we had hoped, calibuilder was responsive and came back to address and fix them. If you're particular about the small details, like we are, we recommend clearly communicating them upfront and documenting everything. Also, be sure to discuss any potential additional costs for smaller tasks that may not be included in the original quote to avoid surprises later. Overall, we're very satisfied with how our bathroom turned out.

Golden Roofing did a wonderful job replacing the 28-year-old shake roof on our 72-year-old, 4000…read moresqft, 2-story house, using extra-thick "presidential-style" composition shingles. It was a complex job because of (1) the size of the roof and multiple surfaces; (2) different rafters and sheathing in places due to three styles of roof construction over the years with remodeling; (3) complete replacement of the Dutch gutter system in the eaves; (4) replacement of 10 skylights; (5) temporarily disconnecting and supporting a large outdoor wood trellis that was structurally anchored to the old roof, and reconnecting it in a secure and water-tight manner when done; (6) helping with the removal of pool solar panels on part of the roof; (7) performing carpentry necessary to repair dry rot here and there that was revealed during the work. Of course, I got a couple of different price quotes for the work. They were similar in price, though you never know what the final cost will be due to contingencies that become evident only after they tear off the old roof (more on that later). The main things that sold me on Golden were (1) their ability to perform the whole job with their own crew, rather than require/recommend me to hire and manage my own general contractor to deal with the trellis and the skylights; (2) although it was late in the season, their ability to schedule and complete the work before the rains came. As someone who has worked with various contractors before, I found Golden's crew chief Luis and the hands-on owner Gil to be very communicative, responsive and diligent. They patiently answered any questions, responded faithfully to my requests/directions, and always asked me first in the few cases where there were different options to deal with a special situation (whether at different costs or not). When I got the final bill, I found that the cost of the contingent "extras" (such as providing continuous plywood to support shingles in old areas that previously had only 1x6 planks on 10" centers for the shakes) was very reasonable and well within budget. I would definitely recommend Golden Roofing. (Note on photos: We haven't yet redone the house's old exterior paint yet; at the bottom of the second floor, you can see where old stucco was removed to accommodate new flashing and new stucco there.)
