    Kitchen transformation
    Ally Y.

    If you are looking to renovate your house in the east bay, there's no team better suited for this work than these guys. My grandparents passed away and left me with their home built in 1929 which was quite hoarded and nothing in this house was up to code. As a first-time property owner, I had never taken on or dreamed of taking on a project of this scale - it was daunting and terrifying. I had met with contractors that others had recommended but ultimately chose to go with Jason and the HHR team that I found on Yelp because, from our first meeting, Jason was kind, respectful, and insightful - he didn't judge the crowded spaces or shy from the sizeable undertaking this project would be. He met my apprehension and overwhelm with calm confidence and pragmatism. Jason: - was incredibly communicative and transparent throughout the whole process - was timely to all our weekly check-ins (either virtual or in-person) - perfectly timed out when I needed to order/attain various appliances and parts for my house (no easy feat when we were faced with global supply chain issues) - talked me through any necessary changes that cropped up as the renovation was underway - he explained why some changes were recommended/optional and broke down the necessary fees attached but still gave me the autonomy to make my own decision without pressuring me - restored my faith in contractors (The poor guy had to put up with my swift distrust of contractors that I had developed from my other experiences with contractors - there was some real trauma there. I'm sorry, Jason!) - is a genuinely good person and someone I enjoyed working and bantering with each week I got to meet most of the HHR crew during our site visits. His team was so responsive to all my (many) questions and they offered thoughtful suggestions/insight when I asked for advice. These guys are the just friendliest and kindest contractors I have ever met. Each crew - the carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters, etc. - were all hands-down incredible and knowledgable. Thank you Pedro, Santos, Rafael, Isidro, Luis, Casta, Jose, and everyone else; I truly appreciate each of you for your work, expertise, and kindness! This project took place in the midst of crazy global supply chain issues and a pandemic and yet this project was inconceivably timely. These guys gutted and redid both of my bathrooms and my kitchen, reframed parts of both up and downstairs, replaced my windows, added insulation, redid the entire plumbing and electrical systems, removed my ancient heating system and replaced it with zoned central heating and cooling, replaced my plaster walls with drywall, repainted everything inside and out, AND built a deck with an ADA ramp in the backyard. They did this all in 6 months - it would have been done in 4 except that we had to wait an additional 2 months to replace a vendor botched vanity top (cough - Ashby Lumber). I honestly and truly cannot recommend this company enough. I feel so lucky to have found this team and feel like I've made genuine friendships with Jason and his family. I felt so much respect from everyone who worked on this project from their back office to the contractors to Jason himself. These guys are honestly the best in the business!

    We had the most wonderful time working with Jason and his crews. Jason was always very careful to listen to our priorities and needs, and in turn was an excellent communicator every step of the way. The carpentry and paint crews were top notch. We particularly liked the older gentleman on the paint crew who went out of his way to be helpful! For this project, we ended up replacing all of our wood siding and doing structural repairs to our 1912 home, as well as replacing some windows and repainting. We definitely plan to contact Jason in the future to work on our basement as well!

    Jason and his crew at Home Healing Renovations are the real deal. This is the best contractor experience I've ever had. Jason worked with me on a major bathroom remodel (tear everything out including the walls, and start over). He was patient and creative with the quote, suggesting some nice touches that I hadn't thought of. He worked with integrity and around my schedule - even leaving the toilet working every night so that we didn't have to find alternate bathroom facilities. Once the job got going, Jason and his crew's work was excellent. They encountered several problems, and clearly explained the impact to the project and its budget prior to completing them. The work was of outstanding quality both structurally and cosmetically - the building inspector also said the same. He and his crew were honest, timely, clean, and tidy. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Jason again for future work, or to recommend him to others.

    Home Healing Renovations helped us design our kitchen nook and then built it. They also did the painting and tiling here.

    We are very happy we used Tinka Construction to remodel our small bathroom and update our kitchen…read more George and his crew are super friendly, clean, and creative at solving transitions between spaces. His team is resourceful and they did not generate excessive work to add cost. For our kitchen / laundry facelift, we updated the flooring, backsplash, lighting, and reconfigured our laundry area. George's crew helped to side vent the dryer which the big box store was unable to do. George gave valuable input on our bathroom design to optimize the small space. He had suggestions for an in-wall toilet, a corner sink, window ledge niche, and talked us out of a doorless shower (thank you!). 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. He had some subcontractors come in to help with varying degrees of quality and cleanliness. We are glad he managed the plumbing contractor who had to come back 3 times. His paint jobs varied quite a bit in consistency depending on who was painting. The best part of working with George was that we were expecting our first child, and he worked very hard to complete the project before her due date. To our surprise and delight he totally finished it before she arrived!

    George helped us with a complete remodel for our home in Berkeley. He and his crew (Oni, Enrique,…read moreMarvin, Wuillian) are extremely smart, honest, professional and creative. His pricing is also reasonable and transparent. We started with an awkward layout (even no room for fridge in the kitchen!) and ended with a tastefully transformed home: open, modern and feels much more spacious than before. George is patient, transparent, detail oriented (with a special eye for safety!) and always a clever problem solver on behalf of his clients. What he did for our project was too much to list, but I'm attaching a few photos where the end results can speak for itself! Contractors like George is hard to come by and highly sought after in the current environment, we would recommend him to any one who values craftsmanship and quality!

    We used E&F for a bathroom remodel. They did a fantastic job on a job that was not easy. This…read morebathroom had not been remodeled in over 70 years. Yes, 70 years. Everything needed to be torn down and replaced. The wiring was old. The plumbing was leaking. And the flooring needed to be completely replaced. They produced an estimate. And came in on budget. They gave a time frame. And finished on time. I'm not sure what more you could want in a contractor. We will use them again!

    The Great (+2 stars) ==========…read more * The structural work: Our home is on a great, new, solid foundation (with shear walls), so we feel as safe as we can be in our home for an earthquake! * Our basement is also now more usable. * Drainage: There is now drainage around the foundation and under the basement slab, so we are no longer worried about our basement flooding! * The working crew were very friendly and considerate. The Bad (-1 star): ========== * The electrical subcontractor was quite bad. The electricians didn't install the dryer outlet properly (one conductor came loose before I first used it), most outlets they installed are loose (they give when pushing in a plug), and they installed a used, old (not LED compatible) dimmer for the LED lights they installed. Also, the owner yelled at his team a lot. * The plumbing subcontractor was bad, too. They misdrilled several holes, damaging the interior of the home. They didn't seal around exterior penetrations into the house. They didn't put a cover over the branch of a wye that was no longer needed. They wouldn't do anything about the loss of hot water pressure in a bathroom faucet that occurred after they moved some plumbing around (I ended up having to disconnect and disassemble the hot water valve myself and I found a piece of silicone clogged in there). They over-glued the drain of the laundry supply box making it nearly impossible to remove the cap, and they lost the o-rings on my faucet aerator. The Ugly (-2 stars): ========== * They overlooked details in the plans about where walls and doors should go, and denied responsibility since they weren't in the structural engineer's plans, which they opted to not have updated with the revisions I told them about. This lead to a sewer pipe being installed in an inconvenient location (it went through the foundation, so it can't be moved), a structural wall that was almost built in the wrong place (I caught it while they were digging the footing), and a room that was built with no doorway (they had to cut some framing to make the opening). * The pricing/scope was negligent at best, but I'd put it closer to misleading or deceptive. During the initial visits, they talked about all the things they would do (including putting up framing, drywall, and insulation), and then sent over an estimate that I accepted. I didn't realize until halfway through the project that the estimate didn't include many of the things they talked about (including the framing, drywall, and insulation); those apparently would be part of "Phase 2," not included in the price of the first estimate. I had chosen E&F over another estimate that was less expensive even though it did explicitly contain the "additional" scope. I was also surprised that the electrical and plumbing (most of which was necessary to get them out of the way for the structural work) was billed separately; i.e., an unexpected additional expense. * They chose to rebuild a segment of stairs (rather than just adding two steps at the bottom, per the plans), which ended up having insufficient clearance with an overhang halfway down. They tried to convince me there was no new problem because they built them the same as before (but the run of the new stairs was one inch longer, causing the 4th step down to be 4 inches closer to the overhang) and resisted remedying the issue. They just ended up taking a sawzall to trim the overhang -- a joist -- which I just have to hope doesn't compromise any structural integrity! Further, they didn't even finish the stairs (sand and seal); "Test your staining skills," they said. * They ghosted before Phase 2. As the structural work was reaching completion, we were going back and forth on scope for Phase 2. However, when the structural work was actually completed, they just stopped communicating, left dirt and demo debris they left on our driveway for a month, then disappeared. There were lots of things they removed to get out of the way (like several segments of fence) but didn't put back. I could easily add 3x more issues and details, but this review is already too long.

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.
