I can relate to the other negative review. He is a horrible communicator and wasted my time. Had…read morea sizable job to do countertops, some painting, flooring, and a full shower remodel. He was only competitive with pricing on the countertops and paint. So I told him I would hire him for those and he started waffling because I guess he wanted the full job. I told him I never promised the entire job to one company and that I would rather break the jobs up at that point. He told me his pricing was contingent on doing the entire job and that he would get back to me on the numbers for the reduced job. I said fine. He never did get back to me even though I reached out to him 2x after that. Not professional at all. Might have been a blessing in disguise because he took over a week to get the quote to me and appeared complacent and lazy. Could have been a warning sign.

Said he would send me a bid but I never received it. Drove away while I was still on the phone.read more

I got my small bathroom drywalled by Sergio and his team. I had already hung the drywall myself so…read moreall I asked them to do was mud and give me a level 5 smooth finish. Pros: I'm satisfied with the end result and it only took about 7 hours total of labor. Also, they're good at keeping the house clean. Cons: Sergio raised his price on me twice. When he saw the room, he told me he needed to charge an extra $300 to make it level 5 smooth, even though I told him what I wanted on the phone the day prior and we agreed to a price. Then, he was going to make an adjustment to the vanity drain pipe. I told him I didn't want him to. He proceeded to do it anyways and then charged me for the material he bought. **EDIT** Sergio messaged me after seeing this review and told me how bad of a job I did to prep the walls and that's why he had to raise the price. I would strongly suggest you don't use this guy for your drywall project.

We thought it would be great to keep the relationship going since they did a good job. Initially, Andy was very responsive when we were considering a large ADU project. However, when we decided it wasn't the direction we wanted to go and had a few smaller projects, he completely stopped answering. I wonder since it wasn't an expensive project like an ADU did he just feel he could brush us off because the money wasn't as enticing? He did say he would be busy last Fall 2022 and that he most likely can start in Jan 2023 but he never responded to my multiple emails inquiring about it. We were also supposed to set up time with their glass contact and he did not follow through. Truly disappointed in this company.

We were becoming totally frustrated in our search for an architect and a general contractor to…read moreguide an extensive remodel of our home. What we needed and seemingly could not find was an honest estimate of costs, an architect who could help us design our project and drive the permit process, and a contractor to build the project. Finally we happened upon STEL Builders. Cory, a walking advertisement for why you need to contract with STEL, jumped on our project and quickly gave us a realistic idea of costs. He introduced us to Frank, who is an awesome person and STEL's in-house architect. Frank gave us three options of drawings to choose from. Each option met our basic requirements and also outlined possible upgrades. Based on our budget, we committed to a plan. Within two months we had permits and construction began. We were assigned a dedicated project manager with whom we met weekly to assess progress in demo and ultimately new construction. Even before demo began, we met our design angel in Ivette. She guided us through selection of fixtures, cabinetry, tile, wall coverings, flooring; all the aspects of a remodel that keeps novices like us up at night. Her calm demeanor combined with her creative ideas made this an amazingly pleasurable experience! Ivette led us to our dream design outcome, and all within the budget we worked out with savant Cory in the beginning. STEL has great relationships with all the best subcontractors & receives priority on their projects, keeping the downtime in construction to a minimum. Midway through construction, our project manager left STEL. They hired a super pro replacement in Roberto. His many years of experience enabled us to stay on track for completion and enhanced the quality of the final product. Roberto is already a tremendous asset to STEL! And all along, even as he continued to take on new projects, Cory stayed in touch and treated us as if we were his only client. No question or inquiry we had was too small or insignificant for him to address nearly as quickly as it was expressed. We moved back into our home after six months and felt like every dream we had dreamt for our forever home had come true. The outcome has exceeded our very high expectations. In Cory's introduction, he touted STEL as a small, family oriented and local Design & Build Company. He was right about that. However, we think he understated how committed to these values Seth Larson and STEL Builders really are. They get it! For people like us, this is the largest and last big expenditure we'll ever make. They treated us with respect, congeniality, honesty and integrity. Our lives and our home from now on are forever enhanced from having met and worked with Cory, Frank, Ivette and Roberto. Thank you Seth Larson for the team you've built. Thank you STEL Builders, our new extended family!
