We purchased a home from TRI Pointe in Dublin in early 2019. Contrary to the others' feedback…read morehere, we have had a pleasant experience with their staff, from the sales office, their lenders as well as folks assisting us with our mortgage and escrow as well as customer service (post-sales service). I'm not sure if the others' posts were specifically from the Dublin area, but the staff we worked with here were great and would recommend them, it's been a good experience so far. We opted to go with their in-house lender rather than an outside one, as they did provide some additional incentives for purchasing with them (they helped pay for part of the closing costs)-- This is very helpful because in Alameda county, buyers pay for most of the fees.

We purchased a new home back in last November. Debra, a Brookfield sales rep, was one of best we've…read moreever worked with and I'm very thankful she worked (and still is working) with us. Some highlights - Debra was very responsive and follow up to our requests/issues 100%. - We pushed our move-in date really hard so that we can move-in to our new home at the time our apartment lease was expiring. It was tight but Debra and BF somehow made it work, saved us thousands of $$. - A new home is outstanding in the craftmanship (Our hardwood floor looks immaculate) as well as customer service. So far no major problem (we have minor hiccups but everything was solved by now) All in all, I highly recommend Brookfield homes. It has been great!

I've visited a lot…read moreof model homes in my life (because my parents just seem to think this is a fun thing to do on the weekend) and the sales office here didn't have the feel of a real estate office at all. Have you ever been to an upscale apartment complex when they have about 10 vacant units? These people were employing the same sort of tactics. I guess it's difficult to sell something for way more than it's worth. When we asked to see one of the smaller models, the agent actually looked at my husband and said, "What? Is it just price?" No...it's not just price, it's price/value. Also, I don't think you need to try to make me feel bad about asking to see something that cost $600K. Could it be that we don't understand why anybody would want 4.5 bathrooms in a 3 bedroom house and didn't think that $900k was a dream bargain for that? I have to give them an extra star for green certification...and a few of the models did have kitchens that were pretty breathtaking. I think if I did own one of those town homes I would just sit in the kitchen all of the time and never leave. Judging from their website, that seems to be something they're quite fond of. They're also quite fond of wood chips...which I hate. Please just let me do what I want with my 2x2 patch of dirt. Also, in a period of economic downswing with a crappy housing market...you're going to have to work harder for my money than that.

UPDATE 11/23 I'm revising this review because we went back…read moreto Summerhill to do business, and they were happy to continue the process with us. As the process has moved along quite considerably and that we've just had our walkthrough with the QA Manager, I can report that I am a fan and am very happy to see that the builder is as detail-oriented as I am and fixed cosmetic issues before I brought them up. Even if the initial stages of negotiation go wrong and you become discouraged, remember that nothing is personal and that two parties can rekindle a business deal and get a mutually beneficial outcome. Stick with it. * * * This is about Summerhill's sales service and process, not about the quality/non-quality of a Summerhill home; nevertheless, how you're treated as a potential client or client in the process of buying a Summerhill home is very important. When my husband and I were in the process of buying a Summerhill home, we were basically strung along and then ignored -- a somewhat typical and disrespectful sales strategy that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. We had a verbal agreement with the sales office, then our realtor told us Summerhill changed the agreement, and subsequently, the office never bothered to tell us whether our second offer was accepted or rejected. It is really rather callous and unprofessional to just string a client along. When we went back to the sales office to retrieve our security deposit check, the salespeople in the office at the time acted as though nothing was wrong with a week of cold-shoulder treatment on their part and then blurted out this 'good cop/bad cop' explanation that the "corporate office was being really fickle right now." I didn't buy it. Quite frankly, a common-courtesy apology would have been the professional thing to do. Honestly, I was very disappointed that the sales team and the VP of sales (Cheryl O'Connor) were not playing the same game straight up. The sales team made number deals with us that the VP couldn't accept, and when it came time to negotiate, they all gave us the silent treatment and expected us to go to them. That's really not a professional way to treat anyone. Summerhill Homes is owned by a larger private company called Marcus and Millichap, and as with any business deal, you expect companies of this size and public attention to play it straight -- games are for the weak.

One example of helping us bring our vision to life and improving the vision, was the lighting in our home We weren't sure what to do about lighting in our house, some rooms have vaulted ceilings and others don't. I am not a huge fan of floor lamps and didn't want giant globes all over the place. Josh and team came up with doing recessed LED lighting in all the rooms. Let me tell you, I could not be happier. The lighting looks fantastic and really pulls our home design together. If you are looking for a team to help you rennovate your home floor to ceiling, I would absolutely recommend contacting them.

We originally found Construction & More through Yelp and reached out about two years ago for an…read moreestimate to update our master bathroom. They provided a very fair quote, but we ended up having to put the project on hold. When we were finally ready to revisit it, they were willing to honor the original estimate, which we really appreciated. This is our first home and the first major renovation project we've undertaken, so we were a little apprehensive going into the process. We ultimately decided to expand the project into a full remodel, and even with the additional scope, the updated price remained very reasonable and close to what we had originally expected to spend. Once the project started, everything moved quickly and smoothly through each phase. Communication was timely and responsive, which helped keep the project moving efficiently from start to finish. Tony, the foreman, and his team were extremely detail-oriented and did exceptional work. The craftsmanship really shows in the finished bathroom. Everything looks carefully installed and precise, and the tile work in particular is incredibly clean. We're extremely happy with how the bathroom turned out and with the overall experience, especially for our first major home project. We would use them again for future projects and highly recommend them.

Their quote was detailed and competitive, closely matching the other estimates we received. Avi, the project manager, thoroughly explained each step of the remodeling process, which gave us confidence moving forward. We stayed in regular contact via WhatsApp, making it easy to ask questions and share updates. Their designer, (Elinor), provided valuable recommendations, assisted with shopping, and created a 3D design that helped us visualize the final outcome. Impressively, the finished bathroom closely matched the design, which was a major factor in our decision to choose Constructions and More. Joseph, the foreman, and his team were professional, respectful, and kept our home clean throughout the project. They did an excellent job handling everything from electrical and plumbing work to tiling and fixture installation. They also managed all the necessary permit inspections with the city. Added finished photo with the 3D Render. We are extremely pleased with the final results of our bathroom remodel and would definitely hire them again.

We contracted Prime Design & Build to remodel two bathrooms, a laundry room, a staircase, and to…read moreinstall hardwood flooring. Overall, the project went well, and we're happy with the final results. Bryan, our foreman, was a strong asset to the project. Even though he was managing multiple jobs at the same time, his responsiveness and willingness to go out of his way to address our concerns made a big difference. Because we were home throughout the process, we were able to catch issues early and communicate them directly to Bryan, who consistently followed through to resolve them. What Went Well: * The tile and flooring subcontractors were excellent - their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stood out. * Bryan, our foreman, was responsive to texts and phone calls, listened to our concerns, and made sure they were addressed. He even designed a bi-fold closet door for us, and helped pick up all the material to build it. * Bryan also took the initiative to handle several unfinished items himself, which we really appreciated. * The post-build cleaners were top-notch and left the space in pristine condition. * Throughout the project, everyone we interacted with was professional, courteous, and conscientious. There were no conflicts or issues, which made the experience comfortable for us. Areas for Improvement: * The timeline was a pain point. While we were originally told the project would take 6-8 weeks, it ended up stretching to 12 weeks. * The design process fell short of expectations. Because Prime's in-house designers weren't available, our design work was outsourced. We only received a full design package for the master bathroom. As a result, we ended up creating our own renderings for the other rooms to help communicate our vision to the team. That said, we were very happy with the design and material selections for the master bathroom they did complete. We just wish the same level of attention and design support had been provided for the rest of the project. * At times, resource availability was limited, likely due to workers being assigned to multiple jobs. This led to workflow inefficiencies and delays. Toward the end of our renovation, our foreman Bryan had to personally step in to complete several tasks, such as installing faucets, shelving, and baseboards. He managed to get it done in between site visits and meetings, which we appreciated, but it also highlighted a lack of available crew to close out the project. Despite these few challenges, the quality of the work met our expectations. We appreciated the team's effort and the final outcome.

We were in an absolutely desperate situation when we found Chris and his team. Our home renovation…read morehad turned into a nightmare -- our previous contractor left our house completely gutted, uninhabitable, and in total disarray. We had lost money, time, and hope. Then, out of nowhere, we came across Chris, and from the very first conversation, he showed compassion, honesty, and genuine care. He couldn't believe what had happened to us and made it his mission to help us get our home and our peace of mind back. Chris and his crew started immediately and went above and beyond in every possible way. Since we were living in the home during construction, he built us a makeshift kitchen, secured areas without windows, and made sure we were comfortable and safe while the remodel was underway. His workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding -- he not only fulfilled our plans but added thoughtful extras, like a beautiful half bath we hadn't even imagined could fit. He stayed within our budget, communicated clearly, and treated our home as if it were his own. Beyond his skill as a contractor, Chris is an exceptional interior designer. His vision and creativity transformed our space into something truly stunning. His team was professional, respectful, and a pleasure to have around every day. After such a terrible experience before, finding Chris felt like a miracle. We can't recommend him and his company highly enough -- they didn't just rebuild our house, they restored our trust and made it a home again.
