    rendering of a kitchen and dining room

    My husband and I completed a major kitchen renovation which was long in the making with the help of Steve Hellman. Our old kitchen was dark, poorly planned and had plumbing issues. A load bearing wall divided it from the adjacent TV room. We always wanted the renovation, but never found anyone with the vision to do transform it to match the rest of home. Only when we met Steve Hellman did I feel we were truly listened to and understood. He showed the passion, knowledge and attention to detail that we needed to feel confident to proceed with the project. We briefly considered acting as our own contractor as I did with my three bathrooms. But I know how hard it is to locate the best tradespeople, and frankly this was WAY over our head. I couldn't even visualize a design that would work for us. Steve's design was extremely detailed and thoughtful. We followed it with very minimal alterations. Steve brought out his industry contacts to our home to plan out the engineering, electrical, plumbing and other elements needed to make the design a reality. We now sit in a gorgeous open space. We now have open views from the TV room we didn't know we had. We have a beautiful and functional space with all of the elements we dreamed of, and more. We didn't have to worry about things along the way (other than living without our kitchen!) and the job was done ON TIME. Steve Hellman personally stayed involved throughout the entire process. He helped to ensure that the vision did not get lost or modified. With a complex job like ours, simpler solutions pop up frequently, but Steve's attention to detail and his precise vision worked to give us a perfect outcome. I really appreciate his patience and dedication. At moments in a big project like ours, we were willing to skip some details to save time. Thank heavens Steve was there to remind us why he designed his very specific details. I am grateful that we have a custom job, and that the team was willing to work to give us maximum adjustability-- in some of the cabinets, for example, instead of cutting corners. Our job was not too cheap to be believable. It was competitive and certainly cheaper that some of the big design companies in the market. When we talk with other people who have done big projects like this, we are so grateful we had Steve to guide us! We were in good hands, and had as pleasant an experience as a family can have with a project of this magnitude. We got all that we expected. We were able to move back into our beautiful new space on schedule. It is amazing that the new space looks like it has always been like this! The design integrates perfectly into the rest of the house. We recommend using Steve Hellman if he's not too booked!

    For a month now I've been happily using my new kitchen that Steve Hellman designed for us. And it is a dream! Not only is it aesthetically pleasing but it's exceptionally functional as well. The many features Steve incorporated allows me to feel completely organized. I appreciate that Steve was able to design our dream kitchen and stay within budget. His attention to detail ensured the project went smoothly and every piece was thoroughly thought out. He provided a timeline for the build and install, and everything was right on time. The end result shows his masterful work. Steve was always available to us throughout the project design and build and he even offered suggestions and tips for renovations we were undertaking that were not part of the kitchen.

    After

    Our home had the original non-functioning 1958 kitchen. My husband and I knew the project would be a down to the studs kitchen remodel with reconfiguration so we waited years and years before taking the leap into the unknown. We learned from hearing our friends share their kitchen remodel experiences that the #1 regret is that used a "big box" store design and wished they had started with a better design. So, when we set out to do our kitchen, we were in search of someone that could design and maximize our space. Our starting point was to find a good design and when doing internet searches, we found Metic Design Build, Incorporated. Steve's reviews hit all the important "must have" items that we had learned from our friends, so we booked an appointment with Steve. From the first time we met with Steve, we could tell from his questions and ideas that he would be the one to design and maximize the space within our budget. When Steve presented the design of our new kitchen, we couldn't believe that a kitchen like that was even possible. We were so impressed with Steve's design, we knew that we wanted Metic Design Build, Inc. to manage the construction portion as well. We can't over emphasize how Steve's project oversight ensured every aspect of the work was done precisely how he had spelled it out in his plans. Some highlights of using Steve as the project manager: 1) his experience with the construction process ensured no unexpected delays (for example all items were ordered and delivered on time for the next phase of the project); 2) he found the exact appliance models needed and then helped to get a lower price on them; 3) he ensured every piece of hardware lined up perfectly; 4) he carefully planned the tile resulting in even cuts and outlets perfectly centered; and 5) he was able to give us our beautiful new kitchen within budget. Steve's construction team is so professional as well. We can't say enough good things about Steve, his team, and our beautiful new kitchen! We recommend Steve so much so that we are asking him to do our bathrooms next!

The project included bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, new flooring throughout the house, and interior painting.

Anytime we had questions or concerns, he responded quickly and made sure everything was handled professionally. One thing that truly stood out was the quality control and attention to detail. The workmanship exceeded our expectations, and every part of the project was completed with care and precision. The crew maintained a clean and safe work environment every single day, which made the remodeling process much less stressful for our family.

Alon was our project manager for a 3 bathroom remodel and he was fantastic. The project was well organized with almost no down time at all. When anything wasn't perfect (and this is construction, there's always something that doesn't go as planned) he was on it instantly. I'm talking with n the phone with me within minutes figuring out what to do to sort things out. They were incredibly fair about everything. The crews they sent were also very very good. They worked very hard to make sure they understood what we wanted and where we wanted it. We are picky and didn't know what we were doing. They were patient and walked us through all the options, with good suggestions and ideas. At times they really went out of their way to give us exactly what we wanted, rerouting vents and pipes so we could have niches and medicine cabinets exactly where we wanted them. All in all the most positive experience I've had with a contractor.

Based on that storyline, they're refusing to take responsibility for the flooring damage. The windows were installed without permits. I brought in four independent inspections, including three licensed general contractors and one home inspector. All confirmed active water intrusion and pointed to the window installation as the likely source. Despite that, Forever Builders continues to deny, redirect, and avoid addressing the actual installation. The floors never had water intrusion before the remodel. The problem started after their work. Instead of owning it and fixing it, they've chosen to argue technicalities and wait for CSLB to force the issue. For a company that promotes itself as 5-star, this has been anything but. When serious defects surface, there's no urgency, no accountability, and no effort to stand behind the work. Just excuses. That is not 5-star service. That is not what integrity looks like.
