We hired this team for a major structural renovation--adding a loft in our high-ceiling living…read moreroom, building a wet bar underneath it, and replacing our kitchen's back door and window with a beautiful bifold door. (Note: The furniture bar cabinets and library were added later on and were not part of this contractor's project). From start to finish, the entire team was extremely professional, dedicated, and highly skilled. On the very first day we met, Nir helped design a 3D view of the project that perfectly captured exactly what we had envisioned. Throughout the build, we had a weekly walkthrough with Nir to check if we had any questions or concerns, which kept communication incredibly clear. Elba was also an excellent project coordinator who was always available to answer our questions and keep everything on track daily. The construction crew themselves were clearly very experienced and knowledgeable; they followed our approved plans meticulously and were happy to accommodate extra requests along the way. You can truly gauge the quality of their work by the fact that every single city inspector visit passed on the first try--nothing ever had to be rescheduled or redone because everything was built perfectly to plan. Additionally, all of the finishes--from the drywalling to the trim work and paint--were done with high-quality materials and top-tier craftsmanship. Overall, it was a great experience, and we highly recommend them!

Garnet: This is the second renovation I have done with…read morePreferred Builders and I am so very happy! I was first referred to Preferred Builders by my tax preparer, Happily, my first repair/remodel turned out wonderfully so I immediately started a remodel on my own home. Scope of work: remove all the carpeting in the house and install laminate plank flooring in those areas. The travertine flooring in the entry, kitchen and hallway had large craters which collected dirt and water residue after washing. I had the floor steamed, the craters filled and the whole floor resealed. I had a gasline installed in the kitchen and a new gas oven installed. I also had a complete bathroom remodel which included removing a huge jacuzzi tub and installing an elegant and safe walk in shower. For the bathroom Nir listened to my concerns and needs and then gave me two 3-D renderings of my options. Elba was fabulous and fast with permits, a purchase list and provided weekly job schedules and updates. I have now completed this remodel and I can't be happier. My Preferred Builders team was pure gold! I highly recommend Nir, Elba and Orel, the Foreman. Orel was caring and his experience was invaluable, Roman, (drywall, moldings, paint, flooring) Carlo (beautiful tile work) and Abnir were all professional, caring and kind. My remodel was reasonable and fast. I definitely recommend Preferred and I already have.

We had a vision, and Mike brought it to life!…read more We've tackled our fair share of remodel projects over the years, but nothing quite prepared us for the leap into a complete, ground-up ADU build. We knew this wasn't a project to hand off to just anyone, we needed a true expert, someone who could steer us through every twist and turn with confidence. That's exactly what we found in Mike. From our very first meeting, Mike had a calm, reassuring presence that told us we were in good hands. He listened closely to our vision, asked the right questions, and laid out a clear path forward that immediately put our minds at ease. And trust us, our minds needed easing, we came to him with a steady stream of nervous, sometimes repetitive questions, and he never once made us feel like a burden. He answered every single one with patience, warmth, and genuine reassurance. Communication was a true highlight of working with Mike. He kept us updated at every stage, so we always knew exactly where things stood. What could have been an incredibly stressful, all-consuming process instead felt manageable, even exciting. He also took the reins on coordinating with city inspectors throughout the entire build, handling all the back-and-forth so we didn't have to lift a finger. That alone lifted a massive weight off our shoulders. And the icing on the cake? He finished the entire project ahead of the estimated timeline, without ever cutting corners on quality or care. If you're on the fence about a big build like this, let us save you the trouble: call Mike. He turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one we're genuinely grateful for, and the final result speaks for itself. We couldn't recommend him more highly.

It was open, modern and made for entertaining. We just didn't know whether anyone could deliver it. Mike did. He redesigned the whole layout around how we live. Today it's a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with an open floor plan, a real laundry room and the ensuite master we always wanted. Every time I walk through it, I'm amazed at how different it feels. One thing that set Mike apart was the 3D renderings. That was a step above what we expected. We could see the layout before anything was built, and Mike could make any adjustment we asked for with seeming ease. We reviewed the changes quickly and landed on the perfect layout. We never had to guess what the finished home would look like. We were nervous about hiring a contractor. We'd heard the horror stories about unreliability, poor work and overpaying. Mike put those fears to rest early. He listened closely, answered every question patiently, and never made us feel like we were asking too much. We felt like partners with him, not just customers. He cared about the outcome as much as we did, and he kept working until we were happy. If you have a vision for your home and need someone who can design it and build it, call Mike. He was a blessing to work with, and we now have our dream house. We were so impressed with the process that we immediately started a 1000sqft ADU with MDM that was just completed. We recommend him without hesitation.

I recently worked with Safeway Construction on a major kitchen and living-room remodel of my home,…read moreand I'm very happy with both the finished project and my overall experience with the company. From the beginning, Mo took the time to listen to what I was hoping to accomplish and worked closely with me throughout the planning process and the many decisions that came with my remodel. I never felt rushed into making decisions, and I appreciated being able to ask questions, discuss different options, and make changes along the way. Adam, the owner, brings more than 20 years of hands-on construction experience to the company. His involvement and knowledge gave me confidence throughout the project. Having Adam there to look at things firsthand and make decisions on the spot was something I really appreciated. What I especially valued was how available both Mo and Adam were and how they handled the unforeseen hiccups that can come with a remodel. Mo, Adam, and the entire Safeway team were responsive to my questions and requests and worked with me to make sure that I was happy with the finished project. My kitchen and living space have been completely transformed. My home feels brighter, more open, warmer, and more inviting. I'm extremely happy with the outcome and would absolutely recommend Safeway Construction to anyone considering a remodel.

We contracted Westside Remodeling to rehab our 30-year-old original builder's kitchen. Westside…read moreinitially provided a proposal for all new cabinets, countertops, tile, etc. As our budget did not accommodate cabinet replacement, Westside then provided an alternate proposal for repainting the existing maple cabinets, which we did instead, with an excellent result. We selected the new countertops from samples in their showroom, then shopped on our own for the tile backsplash, all new appliances and fixtures. Westside was very flexible in allowing us to be hands-on with the process and our selections. For Clients who prefer more creative guidance, Westside offers in-house design services. Jonathan and the entire Westside team were exceptional in their care and concern for the Client. Further, their various tradespeople were friendly and competent without exception. Importantly, they also finished within budget and estimated timeline. Although we have held off painting the kitchen walls and restoring the floor tile pending completion of other work planned for our home, we have already settled into our "mostly new" kitchen.

Renovations are usually a nightmare, but working with them was the smooth part.

Forget what you might expect from an average contractor...low ball or excessive bids, unexpected…read morechange orders, no shows, pulling out of the job in the middle of critical stages, lack of responsiveness. Jonathan from Mayan Home Builders is 100% exactly the OPPOSITE of any of that. He is awesome, and if you are looking for a contractor to hire, you should hire Jonathan and you will NOT be disappointed. In fact, you'll be thrilled, like we are. We did a very extensive remodel of our kitchen, family room, master bathroom, guest bathroom, and living room, stairways and rails, replacing most windows and old-school sliders, and replacing the front door. Many drop ceilings were removed, and load bearing walls were removed, involving footings and beams in several areas. All flooring was replaced. Essentially, about 1,700 square feet of space was basically gutted to the sticks on the inside. This transformed our 1970's closed plan home, to a modern, open floor plan design. Jonathan is extremely patient, helpful, and far beyond what can be called responsive (I mean like responding immediately to questions or concerns). He also knows his stuff. He has a great eye for design, and in countless decisions he was a great counselor and had great suggestions for us. His pricing wasn't bargain basement, and it wasn't excessive. It was fair, transparent, understandable and clear, and most importantly...reasonable. And trust me, reasonable is good..you don't want to go bargain basement. I feel like we got a high quality build for reasonable prices. We ended up having some latent plumbing and sewer problems, completely unrelated to Jonathan, and we had to replace and redo our plumbing and sewer system. That was fun, and expensive. But it's just as another illustration of Jonathan's flexibility and desire to do things right, we actually have a friend who is a plumber who did the replumbing and re-sewering, and Jonathan got to know him (he had never worked with him before and worked will with our plumber and both were extremely professional. Some contractors like only to have their own subs do the work, and don't like to work with other builders, but this made sense for us to use our plumber, and Jonathan was cooperative and made it easy and worked well with our plumber. There WERE many change orders, but they were driven by us deciding to increase the scope and do more things as we got into it. This is a testament to Jonathan's work, because we felt comfortable with him, and knew he was honest, increased the scope because we knew he would be honest and reasonable on the pricing of change orders/added scope (he was very much so) and we saw the quality of the work. There was one change order that was not driven by us, it was driven by the city, who required more extensive footings. However, I cannot complain, because Jonathan had warned up front that could be a possibility, And most importantly, we are thrilled with the results. The quality is high Again, I cannot give enough kudos to Jonathan. He is what all contractors should aspire to be.

Unfortunately, we never received anything , not even a follow-up message or explanation. We specifically reached out to him because of his excellent reviews, so this experience was surprising and disappointing. Even if he decided not to take on our project, a simple update or courtesy message would have shown professionalism. Personally for me not following through on a clear commitment and not communicating at all reflects poor work ethic and reliability. Based on this experience, I would not recommend their services.

He helped us coordinate with the insurance company, and got to work almost immediately. I was shocked by how efficient he was at coordinating the different subcontractors who installed the floors, cabinets, counters, tile backsplash, painters, etc. It was like a well oiled machine with almost no days where work wasn't being conducted, including Saturdays. My wife and I went into the process of looking for contractors expecting we could be without a kitchen for months. Turned out, with Palatin, the whole renovation only took about 4 weeks! If anyone has been through a major renovation, and had to get temporary housing, you know there is nothing more valuable than limiting the time away from home... except the quality of the work. Luckily, Palatin did not disappoint in quality either. We LOVE our new kitchen. The cabinets are great quality and look amazing. The counters are beautiful. The backsplash is pure art, and the floors and moulding are exactly what we wanted.
