Friends, we just wrapped up a 6 month project with AAA. The pictures are what really does this…read morework justice, but I can say that AAA far exceeded expectations. We did a kitchen/living room remodel which included removing two walls and adding a 16' new sliding door and a new deck. Toward the end of the project we expanded scope to include a new roof and new siding and exterior painting. They seamlessly provided this extra work. We lived in the house during the construction and worked from home while the crew transformed our home. Andrey got us going and Art and Alex were our main contacts during the project. I enjoyed working with Alex. He has the best "no problem" approach and when we hit a design issue with our deck, he had a great idea of how to rework the stairs and we went with that approach. They also recommended a great architect, window company and other items. Every inspection passed. They responded quickly to my concerns. I will definitely have them come back and do our bathrooms. Thanks Andrey, Art and Alex for making my dream remodel come true!

These are the contractors you fear you will get when you start a home remodel. They are…read moreinexperienced and do very poor work. We hired Pacific Remodeling and Design for a large home remodel. We removed two structural walls, moved a kitchen, and changed our windows and flooring, and moved the laundry inside from the garage. All of the new walls and ceilings are uneven. Look at the right side of curio cabinet. Our range hood can't sit flush because the ceiling is off an inch over a 3 foot span. They used multiple different white paint colors on our ceiling, showing lines in the light. I selected knockdown texture for our walls and ceiling, which they sprayed on but never "knockdown." Subsequently, it looks like I have popcorn ceiling. Structurally, they opened up areas in my flooring and never tied the joists back together, just left giant holes with plywood and wood flooring over it. Subsequently, the floor sunk beneath your feet when you walked over it. They also did a terrible job installing my flooring; having bad cuts and not temperature acclimating the hardwood floor. In my new laundry room, they vented the dryer to free spew debris into the attic. They replaced the insulation in my attic with insulation for walls, causing us to spend thousands on the right kind of insulation. In the kitchen, they installed our flush mount kitchen sink wrong, not per specs, causing a gap between the cabinet and sink. They installed our kitchen faucet wrong, not using the included "key" to clean debris from the water line before install (a normal thing to do), subsequently clogging my $1,100 faucet so it didn't work. They didn't hit the "knockout" in the garbage disposal, again.. a normal thing to do upon install, so our dishwasher didn't work. They left us hanging on those repairs, my husband and another contractor fixed them. They hung a gorgeous Mahogany door crooked in a square opening. We spent hundreds of dollars with a door company to rehang it. Lastly, Moran missed in his bid that we were enlarging the space for our windows to meet egress. He later demanded more money for this work because he hadn't caught what was clearly in the architect drawings when he bid the job. Around every corner was an issue with these inexperienced contractors. We've paid thousands of dollars to repair their shotty work.

They bring integrity, excellent listening, and a collaborative approach in values. We had some work done on our home, including flooring, indoor painting, some renovation of different areas of the house as well as electrical. First and foremost, Paul, the owner and his industry partners work together to create solutions and mapped out everything prior to talking about cost. This made me feel very secure so that I knew what I would be getting, but also that I had input. He's an excellent listener and not only is very flexible but also has great ideas. The partners that he brought in to take care of the electrical work exceptional as well for me, I wanted someone to work on my house that had top level connections that worked hard and we're also ethical and that's exactly what I got.

As a new homebuyer, I was terrified of all kinds of small/big repairs that the inspectors recommended that I get done on my house. First, Petr helped me review the recommendations, focus on the most essential repairs, and helped allay fears of repairs costing tens of thousands of dollars. Next, Hoffman Builders gave me an accurate estimate on various repairs, worked with me on the range of repairs that was within my budget and proposed quality building materials that also suited my budget. Finally, they finished all the jobs ahead of time and did not charge me extra for finishing up early. Petr was trustworthy enough to even refund a part of the estimated cost due to finishing up early. I highly recommend Hofman builder if you want to stress-free work done on your home.
