Infinite Builders transformed a former salon into a brand new storefront for our bakery; James and the Giant Cupcake. From start to finish, it was a pleasure working with William and John. They were professional, courteous, and trustworthy. Will went above and beyond; he accompanied us to get our permits and speak on our behalf. If anyone has ever tried to open a small business in Oakland, you know how frustrating it can be to deal with all the red tape! We also appreciated that everything was clear and in writing from beginning to end. There were no surprises or hidden fees, and they did not expect final payment until everything was up to our standard and the shop looked just perfect. If you are in the neighborhood, check it out! Our new space is beautiful! Infinite Builders did an amazing job and we would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a quality contractor. read more

William,the owner of Infinite Builders was a joy to work with. We contracted Infinite Builders to replace our roof and he made the process super easy. His bid was very fair, the services were timely, he had excellent follow through and he took detailed care in the work as if it was his own home. As a mom of three with a full time business, I feared the time and energy it would take from my husband and I to manage a project such as this, but William was so proactive and communicative that there was very little to manage. I also appreciate being able to support a small local business so it was a win-win. I look forward to planning and executing more projects with William in the very near future. read more

After a pipe leak and an incompetent insurance-issued contractor left us in insurance claim hell, Infinite Builders came to our rescue. William and John were great to work with - very communicative and proactive. After an initial walk-through William had three subcontractors onsite at the following meeting, looking at what very quickly turned into a fairly complex job. William and his team noticed several things that had previously been overlooked by both the insurance company and the insurance company's contractor. This attention to detail and proactive problem solving was so reassuring, and allowed us to feel confident in the work being done. We debated between 4 and 5 stars, because we did have a couple of minor issues after the job was completed, but all it took was a few quick texts and those issues were promptly handled. Ultimately we find it hard to believe we could've found a better overall experience start to finish with another contractor. We could not be happier with the finished product and we've had nothing but rave reviews from friends and family. While we hope to never have to go through this type of experience ever again, if we ever have future construction needs, Infinite Builders will definitely be our first call. read more

Infinite Builders Group did an absolutely amazing plumbing job at our smoothie and juice shop. They have excellent customer service. The owner William not only called to touch base about scheduling and our needs, but he stopped by personally on several occasions to see how the job was going and to offer his expertise for other construction questions we had. The last contractor we used put flimsy pipes in that we're starting to leak with barely any use. But not infinite Builders Group The plumbing job was excellent. Beautiful copper piping, very secure and clean and very solid construction. I'll definitely be using IBG and William Haynes for future work! read more

We are delighted with William Arthur-Haynes of Infinite Builders Group, the contractor who recently helped us complete a bathroom remodel. William is super communicative and always kept us updated with plans and scheduling. Even though our little bathroom was a small project for his company, we always felt like we had his full attention and that our bathroom was just as much a priority as any big corporate project (true story: IBG was also remodeling two floors of the Twitter building in downtown SF at the same time that our remodel was going on). He talked us through all the little choices and details--what color should the grout be, "dove grey" or "charcoal"? Do we want a marble threshold, or oak? We wanted oak, and William milled it himself and mixed the perfect stain to match our existing hardwood floors. And the remodel was completed on time and on budget. "Communicative," "reliable," and "multi-talented" are all important qualities in a contractor. But most important of all, I've come to believe, is a deep Rolodex. Well, nobody uses Rolodexes anymore. But what I mean is that it's not just the abilities of the contractor himself that are important, but the talents of his crew. William brought in dedicated, knowledgeable specialists to do the paper-hanging and tile-laying for us. We have a 1915 Craftsman bungalow and we wanted to bring the bathroom more into keeping with the character of the rest of the house, so William made sure to set us up with workers who knew a lot about that style and period. The fact that he had such good contacts was a huge factor in how smoothly the whole project ran. And now I have the most beautiful bathroom in the world!

First things first...I want to give IBG 4.5 stars instead of 4, but since that is not an option they get 4 stars from me. I contracted with IBG to do a MAJOR home remodel, and if I did it again, I would call them. John & William are a great team, and they have their individual strengthens & communication styles that I learned to leverage in the months that they worked on the project for a win/win outcome. Their work is beautiful. TOP STRENGTHS/HAPPINESS FACTORS (and why I WANT to give them 5 stars) 1. They are HONEST people. That is critical in this business (and not always easy to find). I am not exaggerating when I say that I trust them completely. They get a 5 out of 5 here. 2. They are professional, clean, and effective communicators. Again, in my experience with contractors, many contractors are not professional, nor clean, and many either don't communicate well ("explain it to me in layman's terms please - I am not in the construction business") or they explain in a condescending manner. John & William email, text, and phone. God bless 'em! Seems like common sense, but I've learned that common sense ain't so common. 5 out of 5. 3. They play well with others. My architect was involved early, and there were some discrepancies with plans...but John & William worked it out and I didn't need to referee. I had additional work done during the construction (a gas fireplace insert), and IBG worked directly with the local company (Kidd Fireplace) to seamlessly get that done. In addition, the permit inspections were...well...inconsistent and at times challenging. John/William made it work. 5 out of 5. 4. They listen. This should be part of #2 (communication), but it is so important that I'm giving it its own place. I was VERY particular about some things, and they heard me and followed thru. 5 out of 5. 5. Quality of work/subcontractors. I met all of the subcontractors before the work started, and they almost all were top notch and highly skilled/high quality (except for the floor installers, but that ended fine after John/William knocked some heads). 4 out of 5. 6. They were on budget. With the exception of necessary change orders, they stuck on budget. 5 out of 5. 7. Simple, easy to navigate contract. 5 out of 5. WHY I CAN'T GIVE THEM FIVE STARS 1. Timing. The contracted timing of the project was "96 calendar days" (basically just over 3 months). I moved out of my home for the construction (it was major, including 2 bathrooms, removing the roof and building up). They were 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule until the last few weeks, and then things got slow...REAL slow. I moved back in my house at the 100 day mark (one of the 2 bathrooms was complete), but it was another 2 months (60 days) before the Final Inspection was signed off by the City of Oakland (contract did state that completion date "might or might not include final inspection due to inspectors availability"...but it pretty much took the extra 60 days to finish, so it wasn't the inspectors availability that caused the late finish. 2. Out of Scope/Finish carpentry. In the process of the remodel, I realized additional fine carpentry work (within newly built and affected closets) would be needed that was NOT in the scope of the contract. We agreed that would be addressed when all work was completed. Unfortunately, they were not able to do the work nor make a recommendation, so I had to search for other carpenters to do the fine carpentry work (which ended up a bit of a fiasco - back to #2 above - but the fiasco is not John & William's fault). It would've been better/easier/less expensive/less stressful for me if the entire work was executed by same trusted people. Do I recommend them? ABSOLUTELY!! Would I hire them again? Yes (with contracted clarification clause on completion date). read more

I recently had work done on my home by IBG. They were thorough, professional and I am very happy with the work that was done. The team worked through many logistical issues professionally and the subs were clean and tidy as well. The scope of the work included a new roof, residing the entire exterior of the house, termite damage repair, hardwood refinishing and painting. I would happily recommend William and John for any project that needs to be accomplished on your home. I certainly would use them again! read more

I've had several home improvement projects over the years, and Infinite Builders Group is, hands-down, the best contractor I've worked with. They replaced my entire front door and frame with a new pre-hung system; painted it; and patched and painted the surrounding stucco. Their work is impeccable. Henry, IBG's lead carpenter, has an eye for things I wouldn't think to catch. (Even the way Henry rips out stucco is neat and meticulous.) Their quote was fair, and they stayed within budget. William and John (the two owners) are both a joy to work with. Their customer service is top notch - prompt, attentive to all details so everybody is on the same page and knows what to expect and when to expect it, and courteous. It is very easy to communicate with William - when you are in the weeds of a project, you really appreciate this intangible aspect of a builder. He catches all of the "little things," understands my non-technical mumble jumble, and when necessary, easily "translates" building terminology. This is such a valuable combination of great work and effective customer service, and I feel very fortunate to have found IBG. read more

Infinite Building Group is wonderful. The owner William is fabulous, professional and timely. We had a very tight time restraint turning a basement room into a bedroom for my sick mother and he worked hard to make it all happen. He is very organized, thorough and efficient. His team of builders are skilled, friendly, and hard working professionals. We are so pleased with how the room turned out!! read more
