They were extremely warm, gracious, and kind from the very beginning, and a pure joy throughout such a difficult time. Natalie went above and beyond to provide us with exceptional properties to choose from and worked to help us find the perfect oasis- just a few blocks from the beach! She accommodated our every need along the way with a genuine smile, as did all other staff members with every interaction. After deciding to return to Carmel for another hospital assignment, Natalie was the first call I made! San Carlos once again did not disappoint and has made my time in Carmel so memorable.

She did not ensure a rent-back agreement was in place, seeing that there is no house lined up for my family to buy/live in once they need to move out. Not only this, but giving input on why my grandparents shouldn't move closer to us when they are going to need constant at-home care. She only wants the family to work with agents SHE refers, and was rude to a different agent we felt more comfortable with. If you have elderly in the family looking to sell their home, please do not go to Lori. I am disturbed by the lack of integrity that I am seeing take place.

Edit: I really liked them but I feel like they took advantage of us moving out. We hired someone to clean our apartment, did a walk through with management, got the everything looks good... Then was charged cleaning fees. We were too nice moving in there were nails left all over the apartment and it really wasnt that clean but we would of cleaned anyway and didnt want to come off high maintenance. We thought they would be happy with how clean the apartment was. And the whole time we lived there we asked them to fix the fire place and put a screen in the back window and they ignored us.

Cristian and the NEXTPROGEN Builders team built our dream deck with a full Monterey Bay view. The…read moredeck is approximately 18' x 32' and nearly 16 feet high, so this was not a small or simple project. The finished deck is beautiful, substantial, and incredibly solid. I have joked that if there were ever an earthquake, the deck is where I would want to be. After completing the deck, we trusted NEXTPROGEN Builders with several additional projects at our Monterey home, including a retaining wall, rebuilding the side stairs and porch area, and a complete low-slope roof replacement. The roofing project was much more than simply installing a new roof. Cristian and his team removed the old roofing system and added two staggered layers of rigid insulation, totaling approximately four inches, along with a protective roof cover board before installing the new white modified-bitumen roofing system. The additional roof insulation was important to us because it helps improve the comfort and energy efficiency of the home. They also installed new gutters and downspouts to help properly control and direct rainwater away from the house. The project included replacing damaged fascia where needed, installing new roof flashings, completing the chimney flashing and saddle, and replacing the roofing on the detached carport. Cristian paid attention to the important details instead of simply covering over existing problems. Cristian is very accommodating, creative, and full of modern ideas. He was regularly onsite and always available whenever we had a question, concern, or new idea during construction. His professionalism, energy, and positive "can-do" attitude are reflected in his entire team and the quality of their work. We also appreciated how clean and organized the property was kept throughout each project. At the end of the work, everything was cleaned up and left in excellent condition. We look forward to continuing our long-term home improvement relationship with Cristian and NEXTPROGEN Builders. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable contractor for deck construction, flat roof replacement, gutters, retaining walls, stairs, porches, or other exterior remodeling projects in Monterey. Our experience has been excellent, with quality workmanship, clear communication, and timely results. Do not hesitate to contact NEXTPROGEN Builders.

Terrible response to Issues pertaining to Property Management, I have been a tenant for over 12…read moreyears and trying to get anything resolved with our Leased Spaces is impossible. The Company has refused to address ongoing issues with Leaks, inoperable Leaking, Sticking front Doors. The Company is just a Barrier between the Property Owner John Dilks and the Tenants. We have been waiting for 3 years to get decaying front Doors Replaced and they keep telling us the Replacements are too expensive and all they are willing to do under the owners direction is to Bondo and Paint. Lets Face it with a Property that is over 60 years old your anticipated replacement has far exceeded, the return on the investment has been tenfold. The maintenance charges are exorbitant and its probably time for an audit to actually see where the $$$ is going.
