Daniel was extremely responsive throughout the entire remodel and was onsite every day. He had an extensive network of trusted subcontractors who did great work and he was able to lay out a ton of options for us on directions that we could go with the project based on cost. Most importantly, he kept the project moving. Would highly recommend him for a project of any size and we look forward to working with him again in the future.

We have worked with Dan Morgan on two major projects for our house and have had outstanding…read moreexperiences both times. The first involved a full kitchen / dining room remodel down to studs, removing a couple walls and adding support beams, replacing and releveling the entire floor on that level and coordinating installation of an island and cabinetry with electricians, plumbers, inspectors, etc. The house was originally built in 1925, so lots of fun surprises to be found! Dan provided information around what was found, what our options would be with related costs and made the updates / fixes as we decided. All was done very quickly and professionally and the work was completed on schedule - and in time for my wife's birthday, which was even more important! Our second project involved prepping our living room for a set of built in shelves. Seemed a simple enough task to start, but old house and all... We had a small storage area that we semi-used above the room that was shown to be woefully inadequate once fully exposed and was rebuilt since we had the chance. We now have a solid new storage area with updated lighting and a beautiful new living room! If / when we have our next project, we will definitely be giving Dan a call.

He's a solid trustworthy contractor who knows his business and supervises his subcontractors well. Alex set a schedule based on our needs, followed all timelines, and met all deadlines.

The work on our kitchen is beautiful and we very much appreciated everything Alex did for us and beyond. His right-hand partner Spencer and the designer we worked with Anna were an awesome team and made the whole process incredibly smooth for us from start to finish. Alex has really great communication and always kept us up to date on everything. Even the little things, like Spencer stopping by to pick up tools! For such a big project, everything honestly went so smoothly. Spencer is awesome and truly such a kind warm person. We are very grateful for all of the work (and extra details!) that he did for us. We were very impressed with Alex's accurate timeline and keeping us right on budget too! If you are researching contractors, you can be done researching and just call Alex!!

After our modular home manufacturer unexpectedly canceled our order, we felt lost and unsure of how…read moreto move forward with building a new second unit on our property. That's when we met Doug -- and everything changed. Our project wasn't simple. The permit required us not only to build a brand-new house but also to renovate and legalize the existing old house. Doug stepped in, redesigned the new unit beautifully, and reimagined the old house so the two complemented each other perfectly. The construction of the new home went incredibly smoothly. Doug's professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were evident every step of the way. The quality of his work truly exceeded our expectations. The renovation of the old house turned out to be much more complex than expected, but Doug handled every challenge with steady leadership and creativity. He brought the right people together, found thoughtful solutions, and kept the project moving forward steadily through each difficulty. His dedication and calm problem-solving turned a demanding process into a truly rewarding experience. The whole process took nearly five years -- but in the end, we have two beautiful homes that feel cohesive, warm, and full of life. Doug's commitment, honesty, and heart carried us through. We're deeply grateful for his expertise and friendship throughout this journey. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your home as much as you do, Doug and his team are the ones to call. We can't recommend them enough.

Douglas Fernandez of Fernandez Design and Builders in San Jose remodeled my entire home in 2007 and…read moredid such an excellent job; my home now is so beautiful and unique & a great fit for my way of life. The good news is that he was so fair and honest; he really watched costs which is so unusual, and in the end, I could be so much more innovative and creative and do so much more than I could have been with any another contracting firm; even more importantly, we had such a good time working together (even the demolition which I dreaded was a piece of cake because of Doug). I left throughout the remodel on many business trips, & there was so much progress and usually a surprising new touch Doug added every time I returned home. Since then, Doug has been there for me on many other occasions. The good news is that Doug is happy with and enjoys smaller remodeling jobs as well. Last year my outside deck came away from its stucco wall & needed a complete retrofit, including adding more structural columns to further support the deck. He loves a good challenge and coming up with great creative and exciting solutions that are brilliant, yet not expensive. Doug's cell is 510-377-9711. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information; my cell is 650-804-8894. Best wishes, Kaaren Powers

JD Lopez helped me convert a Burlingame garage into an ADU. It had been sub-divided w/o a permit…read morebefore I purchased the property and so I was anxious about the process to get it into compliance. He oversaw his crew as they converted the garage into a living/kitchen. The crew was very respectful and kept things pretty clean, all things considered. He worked collaboratively with my Architect (Alex Tzang, also a 5-star) to clarify as needed. There was an issue where the front facade had to be raised (after framing) to account for water sloping from the driveway. Although a bummer that it had already been built out, he/his team re-did the work and the City was reasonable on the solution given that the garage header and roof were fixed. Whew! Overall, it took longer than I had hoped for what I thought was a small job but construction projects in 2021 were hectic. JD stayed true to his estimate. Of course there were additional costs as I we got into construction and I realized that some things were better to be done while the patient was on the table, so to speak, but I chose to add the costs and there were no surprises. Looking back (this review is overdue), I would highly recommend JD Lopez. He's a very calming presence during a hectic time for people and I would definitely hire him again...if he is available!
