    A newly updated small hall bathroom looking clean and bright.
    Anna G.

    My review of Marvin Davis Construction and Contractor Marc Tuttle sounds similar to many other 5-star reviews. Hot water/mold damage to the entire main floor, pandemic issues, insurance company. But my situation was that this home was where my 90-year-old mother lived. I live 1000 miles away. After moving my mother out to an Independent Living Community the fun really started. Marc Tuttle was a godsend. He helped me make excellent choices with the very tight budget our Insurance company gave us. (He squeezed every last penny from them!) His design of our kitchen was beautiful and the star of the house. His communication with pictures, phone calls, and updating texts over the entire lengthy project was imperative to my sanity. He and his team treated this house like their own. As we soon came to realize, we decided we should sell this home of 60 years and keep my mother in her new senior community. Marc's updated design and excellent workmanship with Miguel and the rest of the team turned this sweet aged home into a gorgeous magazine cover! But where I truly commend Marc is his patience, kindness, and understanding when dealing with our very difficult Reverse Mortgage Company. You really can tell a lot by a person when the going gets tough and Marc handled this nightmare with professionalism, humor, and integrity. Any other construction company would have demanded final payment for the completed job but Marc understood we were caught in the middle and went out of his way to help us in any way he could. When the final payment was secured from the reverse mortgage company he showed up at my Mother's senior community with a large bouquet of flowers for her. Marc Tuttle is definitely one of the good guys. Highly recommend.

    Guest bathroom remodeled by Marvin Davis Construction in 2012
    Nora G.

    In 2012, our home was turned upside down when the drain line backflowed into our guest bathroom and flooded the lower floor. Fortunately our claim was covered by insurance and we picked Marvin Davis from the list of Premier Service contractors. Cody Gerstell was the project manager and did a great job coordinating all the work to repair our home. During the reconstruction, we opted to upgrade our guest bath. We were really happy with the results. The wall repairs were truly seamless and the tile work meticulous. In 2014, we called Marvin Davis Construction again when we were ready to remodel two other bathrooms. Cody gave us a quote and the pricing was very fair. We also liked that he itemizes all the work so that we can see the cost breakdown and make tradeoffs to meet our budget. We selected and purchased most of the material on our own and Marvin Davis provided the labor. Again, the results are beautiful. We really appreciate the fine workmanship and attention to detail. Fit and finish is wonderful. When we had some delays due to a cabinet being made incorrectly, Cody was flexible in rescheduling the installation. We highly recommend Marvin Davis Construction.

    The old kitchen

    Welcome to my first ever Yelp review. I set up a Yelp account just so I could submit this long overdue review of my experience with Marvin Davis Construction. Since I have written only one review, so far, it's possible that this may end up at the bottom of the reviews under those that are "not currently recommended" due to some algorithm Yelp uses that I don't understand. In any event, if that happens, please know I am a real person who actually had the pleasure of working with this company. As I said, this is overdue, my kitchen remodel having been completed two years ago. But perhaps that is even better, since I've had time to use the kitchen fully, and, yes, I'm still madly in love with it and have had no issues arise. We had the unfortunate experience of sustaining water damage due to a burst faucet hose, which sprayed hot water from under the sink while we were not home. Our insurance company sent out the water damage folks, and after many days of fans and dehumidifiers running inside the house and in the crawl spaces, it was determined much to our shock and awe that the entire kitchen had to come out. Mold was already growing! This is not a large kitchen, and we took the opportunity to change the layout to add more counter space, extending a wall to make room for adding a peninsula (love that drawer microwave!), moved the fridge to a different wall, put in custom cabinetry, ran a gas line to accommodate replacing the old electric cooktop with a new, larger gas one, to name a few changes. Our project manager, Marc Tuttle, was a dream to work with -- professional, knowledgeable, patient, organized, extraordinarily responsive, and just an all-around nice guy with a great sense of humor. Not everything went perfectly on the first pass; there were the inevitable hiccups to be sure, but they were resolved promptly. Marc was terrific in dealing with the insurance company's many requirements, and in arranging for all the permits and inspections. Samantha in the office was a delight, as were all the members of their long-standing crew. Attached are some before, during and after photos. While everyone of course has different taste in materials, etc. and my particular choices in that regard may not be to your liking, hopefully you can get an idea of the quality of workmanship. When I get around to remodeling one of the bathrooms, I'll call Marc, and I definitely recommend you include this company among the folks you interview for your project.

    After a good engagement with Marvin Davis on a small project in our condo, we decided to go with them for a larger project at our new house. Because we were removing a load bearing wall, along with other work, my wife and I didn't mind paying more for a company whom I had experience and seemed reputable. This was a TERRIBLE mistake and we will never give them business again. We had three major issues with Marvin Davis: 1) They left EXPOSED nails on stairs in my 14 month old daughters bedroom and told us the contract was complete. Complete!! Really!?!? Nails, that have been on that staircase for 40 years!!! If we didn't catch it and she slammed her hands down on those nails, what type of medical problems could she have caught? We don't know, but the fact that they said they were "finished", yet left a dangerous area in my daughters room is COMPLETELY unacceptable. Pictures are attached. 2) Miscommunication: We signed a legally binding contract with Marvin Davis. In the contract, we wanted them to replace our old hardwood with new flooring. In the agreement and quote, it clearly stated that the flooring quotation included Labor AND Material. After they completed the demo, they came back to me and said it was a mistake, the Material was not included, the quote was just for labor. How convenient that after half of our job was finished, they backtracked on their obligation in the quote and expected us to absorb the cost of their quote for Labor (which as referenced above is more expensive then other vendors), AND the cost of Material. Had I known that to be the case originally, they were far more expensive and we would have went with the company (who were wonderful to work with) who ended up installing our floors. We ended up settling with Marvin Davis for work performed and had another company install the floor - but again, the miscommunication is absolutely unacceptable when we are spending a LOT of money and had to budget. 3) Miscommunication #2: Not once did we receive a project plan from Marvin Davis. Everything was on the fly, which would have been fine if the communication was better. After reaching out to them multiple times to confirm Carpet demo and installation on a Saturday, they didn't get back to me until Friday night at 7pm. We were hosting a party, I missed their call and didn't get a chance to listen to the voicemail. I figured because they didn't confirm with me at all Friday, they wouldn't show up. Well - that was wrong. His carpet team showed up and we hadn't done any work to remove furniture in either of the bedrooms. We were expected to spend our Saturday morning, not with our daughter, but moving furniture because they couldn't confirm with us a couple days in advance. If you want to be treated like a second class citizen, have them say "no" to you a lot, move your own furniture around the house because they wont do it for liability reasons, have terrible communication and customer service, along with potential to live in a DANGEROUS and HAZARDOUS environment with your family, then you should choose Marvin Davis. Perhaps the rest of their engagements go well and we just had a bad experience, but for the safety of my family and terrible customer service, i'd never give them our business again.

Overall the experience was very good; Elijah and Bryan were super friendly and responsive. Eli was very patient and accommodating as we discussed several different potential change orders, from new windows to painting, to other misc. things that popped up. Bryan Luna was especially a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail and proactivity to solve any little thing I mentioned was definitely the highlight of working with Prime. Their contracted electrician, Hector, was great as well. I also think they did a great job building out a cabinet to fit our freezer next to the matching fridge. Their master carpenter managed to salvage our existing wood to make it match perfectly. Definitely better than what I'd expect from even a carpentry specialty contractor. I will mention that it wasn't without some snags. Prime deals in volume so they're very busy. I think because I had delays in sourcing a freezer I ended up not getting a dedicated project manager for some time. We had timeline issues made worse with holidays. This caused cascading delays which inevitably pushed back my move in date a few weeks. When I finally did get a new project manager, they ghosted me (later on I found out they had a family emergency). Eli had to step in again to help. Another thing is that their pricing is quite opaque. The estimate will break down prices by milestones, but they repeated told me that it's not a valuation of the milestone itself. This made it nigh impossible to understand if I wanted to contract out specific pieces of the project (e.g. flooring). Design was OK. I felt that the designer was very busy. Sometimes very responsive (5min replies), sometimes not responsive at all (no reply). I wish I had a better, more thorough back-and-forth session about the intricacies of the design. But we made do. Ultimately, the designer made a render and helped point us to some vendors, but from there we had to make our own selection alone (cabinets, handles, pendant lights, faucets, etc.). I did appreciate her presence when we picked out countertops, though. All in all, I think this was a 4.5 star job, but I'm rounding to 5 because of Eli and Bryan :)

    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.

All prior interior work in our house had been done by handyman. I really appreciated the communication from our project manager Marc. He created a WhatsApp chat with me and the incredible designer Jocelyn. They were both consistently responsive to any of my questions or concerns -- and opened my mind to design options. Jocelyn spent time in our home, drafted plans, took me shopping, and sourced all the fixtures. From her spreadsheet I was able to find less expensive options for some items. I appreciated the input and control I had on these expenses. Since we needed to move out, I had a tight timeline for the project -- mid October until Thanksgiving. Marc and the team did their best despite City of San Jose delays with inspections. We were able to move back in before the final inspection. Every member of the team was kind and courteous. Marc also did a great job working with the window vendor that specializes in older homes. I'm rating the experience a 4.5 out of 5 for two reasons. I was disappointed that the medicine cabinet, switch plates, and hooks were initially installed unevenly (it was corrected). I expected more attention to detail. And I was disappointed in the wear & tear that happened on my wood floors as well as the overall dust in my dining room. I was warned that things would get dusty -- but didn't understand the extent and would have packed away more things. WISE offers lots of support with design -- they could also offer as part of their package a full cleaning! I offer this feedback to help others calibrate their expectations. Overall it was a positive experience. I waited several months to post this review until I returned from travel and could see how things were settling after regular use. I'm loving the new bathroom and recommend WISE.
