Any issues we brought up he quickly fixed and never tried to nickel and dime us over minor changes. The existing kitchen was 16 years old and outdated. He listened to the changes we wanted to make and delivered an end result that was better than we expected! I highly recommend using them

They completed the job within the promised time. Because of their hard work, the property sold for $22,000 over asking. Highly recommend giving them to a call to see what they can do for you!

The crew was polite and arrived on time most days. They did good work on the custom cabinets and the granite countertops look great. The flooring installation was solid and they matched the new trim to our existing baseboards nicely. There were a few small issues like a cabinet door that was misaligned and a gap behind the stove but they came back to adjust everything within a couple of days. Communication was okay but we wished they had been more proactive with scheduling updates. The final price came in slightly above the original quote due to some electrical upgrades but they explained the costs upfront before doing the work. The kitchen is definitely an improvement and functions well for our daily use. We would consider them again for future projects.

When you call bay home builders you get Tom Ras, you do not get the people who do the actual work…read more For me he solicited a roofing family out of Vallejo who did 5+ work on redoing my roof. After Tom and I met and spoke we shook hands and he reacted to my handshake. I told him that handshake means "do not mess with me." He saw I have lots of books and he mentioned to me a book called "the bronze horseman." It said on amazon this book is for Russia what the thorn birds was for Australia so I bought it. Tom came the next day and said he bought the book for me. He wanted a check. I stalled. He said: I will be back in couple hours to pick up the check and get the book. He came back, got his check but I got no book. I said nothing. Tuesday before the 4th he showed me again the order of the book on amazon and the order had gone to an address down by LA and he is driving down to LA over the 4th and pick it up. Sunday evening after the 4th he called and said: "my father is coming to visit from Israel and flying in to LA he will pick up the book," and will I do a review he will send me the link. Well it is another week gone by and no book and no word from Tom. Like I said: I already bought the book. I do not need Tom to buy my books just honest middle man, a true professional who knows what he says and keeps his word and that is not Tom. A businessman who does not listen to his client is a poor businessman. Why Tom Why? I do not need you to buy me books. A man at 40 should have build up some equity in his character, man-up Tom!

Where do I begin?! Real Time Construction made our whole project experience smooth!…read more We initially started looking for contractors in San Mateo, CA for our extension and remodel and were very happy after meeting Jaggi. He wasn't pushy, knew the area very well (we live in a post WWII-era track home development), and listened to our vision. His team was always on time and they communicated very well during the whole process. One of the things that stood out to my wife and I was how creative his team is. After the rough finishes, we mentioned to Jaggi and Sergio that our plans called for a built-in bench with storage and shelves in our dining area; they asked us for some photos of how we wanted the finished product to look and they immediately went to the home improvement store to get the materials. The built-in bench and storage with shelves was completed that day - AMAZING! The one thing about Real Time Construction that bothered me was how awesome they are... I guess we'll just have to keep hiring them for more projects!!!

OVERVIEW We worked with Roberto of REF Builders and his team…read moreon a whole-house remodel from January 2024 through February 2025. Originally, the remodel was going to affect less than half of the house, but as the remodel progressed, we were very happy with the work and this encouraged us to expand the scope and budget of our remodel to include the entire house, and even the exterior. Roberto is friendly, honest, hardworking, diligent, and holds himself and his team to high-quality standards. We are proud to show our remodeled house to our friends. Everyone, including multiple friends who work in the construction and remodeling industry, remarks that the attention to detail by Roberto and his subcontractors is excellent. SCOPE This section of this review is to comment on the scope of work that REF Builders took on for our remodel. It was not a small job. REF Builders worked with our architect's design to relocate our kitchen to an entirely different space. This required moving electrical, plumbing, HVAC ducting, and gas lines. One previous double door in the new kitchen area was converted to a window, and another double door was filled in and the exterior wall re-stucco'd to match. Roberto's team installed highly-unique custom kitchen cabinets, all-new appliances, a new island, and countertops with precision. The remodel also included conversion of the former kitchen space into a new family room, and remodeling of 4 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms (out of 5), and conversion of a living room to an office space. His plumber installed a new tankless water heater with recirculation system. His electrician re-routed multiple electrical circuits to a Tesla PowerWall battery circuit-breaker. His team installed 14 doors with all-new door trim (including front and back doors), 2 sliding barn-doors, 2 windows, and cut new window screens for all windows. They also built a new staircase from the 1st to 2nd floor. REF Builders also installed new flooring throughout both floors of the house (including installation of new subflooring to fix termite-damaged wood and use of self-leveling concrete to flatten the floors to resolve uneven settling), new floor trim and crown moulding, new drywall throughout half of the house, painted the entire interior of the house (all rooms), and applied new stucco, painted the entire exterior, repaired face-up boards below the gutters, and installed new window trim on the entire exterior of the house and built a new concrete landing/stairs for the back door. They also installed all-new insulation throughout the walls and ceiling areas, and replaced the ceiling on the first floor and upstairs hallway and installed all-new recessed lighting, ceiling fan, and exhaust fans. They built an enclosed laundry which involved installation of new lighting, exhaust fan, and moving electrical. The toughest part of the project was resolution of major ceiling cracks due to settling of the house. Instead of just patching the cracks, a structural engineer was consulted and the sides of the house shored up to address the root-cause of the settling/cracking, then major structural work to reinforce the upper middle parts of the house, and finally the cosmetic patching by replacing the entire affected ceiling. Roberto handled all necessary permits, and inspections with the City. QUALITY OF WORK The quality of work was excellent throughout all of the diverse areas and disciplines of construction. Roberto personally inspected work as it progressed and in some cases, made his subcontractors "re-do" work that was not to his satisfaction. He would have them tear apart work that he considered inadequate and not only have them re-do the work, but in some cases he paid for the materials that were necessary to re-do the work (such as replacement tiles). When we presented him with a "punch list" after each phase of the remodel, he was very conscientious about taking care of each item to our satisfaction. His employees are hardworking, detail-oriented, and very meticulous about the quality of their work. They never rushed anything they did - it was evident that they had the discipline to always do their work correctly and precisely, rather than quickly but sloppy. They often stayed late, sometimes into the late hours of the evening. His subcontractors for electrical, plumbing, and especially painting delivered top-notch quality. We would often ask questions or for special modifications and they were always eager to accommodate our requests. PRICING AND BUSINESS PRACTICES Quotes (estimates) were always clear, and invoiced amounts always matched exactly. There were never any surprises. If we requested changes, Roberto would provide us with pricing for the "change order" and the eventual invoicing reflected that same amount. Roberto never exhibited a "nickel and dime" mentality. Sometimes the remodel pushed the boundaries of expected work/effort, but he never complained or tried to charge us extra. He likely built-in some

We remodelled everything - it very was close to a complete tear down. I would highly recommend REF based on our experience. Their quote came in reasonably priced. Roberto, his crew and sub-contractors were honest, transparent, flexible, hard working, and perfectionists. They went above and beyond to work around our need to accommodate our need to stay in the house, while delivering quality work on time. Roberto himself is a perfectionist, noticing imperfections we didn't even see, and fixing them himself. He treats his work as a craft and takes pride in it. His sub-contractors are the same, with his painter especially, as well as his electrical and plumbing guys all being exceptional. Frequently surfacing suggestions to improve upon original lighting and plumbing plans when they saw the architects plan wouldn't work as well. They really want to get it right for the customer. When unforseen work came up (e.g. moving the sewer line) he did his best to make sure he priced the additional work, accounting for our budget, frequently offering to cover labor if we wanted to cover material for small improvements he saw he could make. A great example: We weren't planning to replace existing siding and just have new siding match. However after demo, there was only a small section of old-siding left. He offered to replace that last chunk, without charging labor, if we covered the material, so we were set for the next many years. The best example of his customer-centric attitude: The architect we used messed up the positioning (off by many feet) of a 700lb 60ft vaulted ceiling beam in their plans. We noticed this after Roberto and his crew had already installed it, and started to build roofing on top of it. The architect suggested we would have to pay for their mistake to re-do the plan. Roberto stepped in feeling this wasn't fair to us, took on the cost of tearing it down again, and moving it to a new position to meet structural needs, while making it aesthetically pleasing (some of the photos here, are of that beam). This customer-focused attitude shows up in all aspects of the project. Roberto delivered the project on time, it looks fantastic, and he also helped us work around PG&E delays. I'd highly recommend considering Roberto and REF for your construction needs - whether complex or simple. They're customer-centric perfectionists.
