Then I chose to ignore it for an undisclosed length of time...cue the windstorm and wala, more repair than I wanted to deal with. I saw Big Wave Home Repair on yelp and thought I would give him a try as he was close by and I like supporting small businesses. He came out quickly to assess the situation, gave me his next available start time and took care of the problem like a pro. There were some challenges as the neighbors on the other side of the fence had put up surfboard storage racks, etc. We talked through some additional costs and the end result was better than anticipated. Very pleased - thanks Dave.

I don't write many reviews, but Rob and his team did such an amazing job on our mid size…read moreremodel/addition project, I jumped at the opportunity to write a review when I saw he joined yelp. On my first project I had drawn up, I sent plans to several contractors and got a range of quotes all way out of budget. I sent my plans to Rub and he estimated the project cost out to a fraction of the other bids. I accepted the bid but was weary of the accuracy of the estimate so I kept a running spreadsheet of all material and labor costs. Despite a few unforeseen hiccups along the way, Rob's estimate was accurate within 3% of the final project cost. I've since had him do every major project we can come up with and have seen Rob singlehandedly do the work of a team of contractors. He keeps sub-contractors honest and if I throw one his way who seem to be dragging their feet, he would rather do the work himself then watch us get ripped off. If you live in his area (I don't any more), his team of guys and sub contractors are reliable, fast and very skilled. If you don't live in his area, see if you can convince Rob to come out and do your job- it's always been worth it for us. Can't recommend Helling Construction enough.

He built stairs to an outside deck that was way better than I imagined and convinced us to put in new closet doors when I just wanted to hang a curtain. The cost was so negligible on those doors and made the rooms look so much better it would have been a huge mistake not to take his advise. He is easy to work with and has a think outside of the box mentality that makes things possible where others have said it couldn't be done. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Mike is knowledgeable, creative, and personable. He won't bore you with the logistics of what he has to do to get the job done; he just gets to work!

If you're looking for a hard working, honest, and friendly team, than look no further than Mikes company, Real Estate Ready. I'm glad I met Mike, and I plan on utilizing his business for all my future contracting needs.

We had all of the cabinets in our kitchen and bathrooms painted white, we redid the guest bathroom (paint, replace counter top, sink & fixtures), enlarge and replace our sliding glass doors, change kitchen island countertop to a larger "floating island" look and some hard scape and a few other little jobs. Mike completed the jobs just two days past the promised completion date but that's because we added a few little jobs including the hardscape and repainting the guest bathroom. Mike is a perfectionist and takes great pride in his work product. He also shares his vision and makes recommendations. I didn't even know it's possible to have a floating island. I'm glad he suggested it as it made such a difference in the design of my kitchen. Thank you Mike for making this house our home.

In late 2019, we had a flood in our master bathroom that (like many people) was the primer for a…read morefull-blown remodel. It was time to upgrade our gross 1980's shower and cheap vanity from the previous house flip. We turned to MOST Construction of Carlsbad for full design and remodel construction services and they did not disappoint! From the early scoping, contracting and through the design process, Pernille and Morten were very professional and understanding of our vision. The contracting process was very detailed to ensure all work was accounted for, and Pernille provided numerous design drawings for us to work with. Being our first bathroom remodel, we were unaware of the amount of planning and subcontractors that would be involved. Along the way, MOST provided recommendations for vendors with the experience to match our vision. Construction began with a minor hiccup when a small leak occurred in the subfloor below the shower, but this was due to an existing hole in our drain pipe. This was no fault to MOST construction, but Morten promptly mitigated this and repaired the minor drywall damage. Talk about great service! From thereon everything was a breeze! Their workers were courteous and showed up on time each day and kept the workspace as clean as possible. Their tile tradesman Sal is a true artisan! Following the framing and hotmop of the shower pan, Sal built a traditional mortar bed tile job with custom niches and gorgeous bordering. He took his time to make sure the end product was flawless, and I appreciate that level of skill. Pernille coordinated with the Countertop Company of San Marcos to have the vanity and shower dam slab cut and installed. We handled the glasswork (shower door, backlit mirror) ourselves with Cast Glass Images of San Marcos. Everything went smoothly with drywall, electrical and finish plumbing installation. In the end, MOST Construction was a pleasure to work with. They are a team of true professionals and they will be my go-to general contractor for quotes on my next major remodeling job!

We had a fairly small project and were having trouble finding a company willing to take our project on. We wanted to install french doors for our home office where prior there was a huge doorway opening with no doors. Pernille was great to work with, offering design suggestions and showing us photos of similar work so we could get a good picture of what to expect. Once our doors were ordered (through General Millworks), MOST scheduled their installation to coordinate with the door delivery. They worked very efficiently, completing the job in a couple of days (other companies told us the job could take up to 2 weeks!). They also kept the space very tidy and clean. We are thrilled with the way they turned out!

Found Anthony through Yelp and he was very responsive. Talked to him briefly over the phone, he charges by the hour (plus material cost), and we set a date. He arrived at our doorstep within a few days (would have been earlier although our street was being re-paved) and got to work right away, 8am. The job ended up not being as difficult as initially planned, as the previous work to fill in the wood and repaint the garage frame was not good. He fixed the frame, repainted, and replaced the shingles by early afternoon! Other estimates were in the $3-4k range, and Anthony saved us thousands of dollars.
