Reef builders laid the floor tile in my kitchen. I contacted a few businesses for estimates and Gal was responsive and able to come in person to review the scope of the work. I knew I was going to select Gal after our initial meeting. He was organized, honest and pricing was reasonable. Plus, I saw pictures of previous jobs and the work spoke for itself. Gal provided an estimated date they could start the work and timing which worked with our schedule. Working with Reef Builders exceeded my expectations. Gal had great communication skills throughout the project. We discussed upfront what to expect and during the job he updated me regularly on the progress/timing so that there were no surprises. Gal recommended laying the tile straight vs brick patterned based on the the size of kitchen. We took his advice and I could not be more pleased with the decision. The tile looks great and works for the space. His team did a beautiful job and I would not hesitate to use Reef Builders for future projects.

New Tile

Gal the project manager and his crew did fantastic work! We needed to tile our master bathroom which had previously been carpet, and we needed the job done quickly since we were moving in the following week. Not only was Gal quick to respond and mobilize his crew, but he was able to get the whole thing done while we were on a trip that week. Despite us not being there, Gal communicated everything efficiently and thoroughly. We FaceTimed us to show us the state of the subfloor, and ASK us if we wanted to replace it, rather than just telling us it was bad to increase the price of the job. He was honest that they were in decent condition, and advised to replace them but did not pressure us to. On that note, he had come prepared before the job even started with wood planks, the flexible concrete, and all other materials that would be required. Then, when he discovered the wooden planks were not exactly the right size, he had the crew go replace them all, because this is a team that does not settle for anything less than perfect! The work itself looks awesome. They matched the tile pattern really nicely and got the grout really narrow but still with room to breathe. There is nearly no dip from the tile to the carpet in the surrounding rooms and the floor is very level. They also reinstalled the toilet on gratis since they forgot to mention that ahead of time, and didn't upsell us on that after we had agreed upon the price. He was also very clear with change orders and their additional cost when we decided to replace the sub floor, all which he gave us an estimate of before we signed any contract. Finally, they wrapped the entire walkway from the garage to the bathroom so that our carpet and floors stayed safe. Overall a really efficient and friendly team that we will be working with in the future!

We hired Gal and his team to replace our bathroom floor tile. We had previously had our bathroom renovated by another contractor who made a lot of mistakes and rarely showed up to oversee workmanship. When our bathroom flooded, the water went through our original tiles and caused water damage below, so we needed the floor tiles fully replaced. Gal is professional, patient, and fully explained every possibility that could happen during construction. Gal explained what had gone wrong with the previous installation and how to prevent future issues. Gal was there every step of the way, which was a really nice change from our previous contractor! The job included: carefully removing our custom double vanity, removing the toilet and finding the source of the leak + fixing it to prevent future water damage, removing the water damaged tiles, replacing the cement boards below and applying redgard waterproofing, laying the tile/grout, and reinstalling the vanity and toilet/doing touchups to the baseboards. This was all done in 3-4 days total and the work is immaculate. His employees were friendly and efficient. One of my favorite things: one of his workers double checked with me that they had the correct grout and paint colors before they started grouting and painting the baseboards. This might seem like a simple thing, but our previous contractor and team used the wrong grout color and wrong paint every step of the renovation. With Reef Builders I feel I really got what I paid for- the work is excellent. Also, Gal offered to come back if any issues came up. It's great having a contractor who stands by their work. I would trust him with future projects too.

We've hired Reef Builders to convert our garage to an ADU. Gal was always available to answer any questions and concerns from start to finish and was very helpful. They scheduled free estimate, came out and showed us past projects, samples, and all information we needed to know before starting. Our project was completed by the time frame we have scheduled. everything turned out fantastic and added much more value to our home. Highly recommended!!!

We just finished our bathtub conversion for our parent's bathroom. Gal and his team did a great job.

Our New Kitchen!:)!
Rachel D.

Gal and his team did an incredible job remodeling my kitchen. They opened up several walls and turned a cramped and dark L-shaped kitchen into a light and bright open concept area with a gorgeous huge island centerpiece. It was exactly what I had envisioned and Gal ensured the design and budget were in sync the entire way! There was a great team of workers who were friendly and respectful and an overall pleasure to have in my home for the duration of the project. I highly recommend Gal and his team for any of your remodeling projects. If you are looking for trustworthy, reliable, and good work look no further. One of the things that really sets them apart is the responsiveness. Any questions or concerns are promptly addressed- they will call/text you back quickly to make sure everything is right!

It might sounds corny, but it's true- when you deal with Reef Builders you're treated like family. We wanted to have a quick refreshing change to our powder room. We met Gal after few interviews with other companies. Gal performed professional, excellent onsite project management and did a great job of really listening to what we wanted! Thank you Gal.

New wall
Yuval T.

We had an old wallpaper installed on our dining room wall which we wanted to update and give it a fresh look. Instead of wallpaper Reef's crew installed new designed and finished wood slabs to make the room look more modern. We worked with Gal. since day one he was super communicative and punctual, job was done on time and the finished product look just as I wanted, clean and spotless! Highly recommend! Thank you Gal!!!

We've just finished our master bathroom renovation with Gal and his team- our experience with Reef Builders has been impressive! Gal checked in with us daily to make sure all is clear and everything done by schedule and for our satisfaction. We did electrical and plumbing work, installing new tiles, new toilet and vanity- complete bathroom. Their office and staff worked effectively and fast. Great company to do business with and count on! Highly recommended.

HAPPY CLIENT HERE! We hired Gal and Reef builders about 2 months ago for our kitchen and living room renovation. Process is long and lots of money is involved, it'll probably be the biggest remodel I'll ever do in this house and I waited for that so long. After interviewing several companies Gal and Reef stood out. Gal has communication and listening skills that I've never seen in my life (from a contractor) he really does care that Me and my family will be be happy in the end, that made us feel super lucky and calm. Like Any construction project not everything is perfect but Gal knows how to smooth things out and continue working with minimum haggle. Special thanks to Eddie the carpenter, Eshed the tile guy and of course to Gal for bringing our dream into reality!!!!!!! Looking forward for our upcoming projects and will HIGHLY recommend this company to my family and friend (already did ). Thanks much, The Daniali's

Great experience working with Gal!! Smooth communication and very detailed and professional. Highly recommended.

New 20x40 pool with micropebbles  + new firepit area

We were referred to Gal at Reef Builders by a friend who had them redo their kitchen. From the looks and sounds of the process it was an easy decision for us. After hiring Gal, and working side by side with him and his company - we are extremely pleased with the results. Communication was and still is always #1 and quality of work made us very happy. As far as the scope, we redid the whole backyard, added a huge pool with micro-pebbles instead of regular plaster, 2 bajas and a big spa. Added a firepit, over 2000 sqft of synthetic grass, lots of concrete and planting/green throughout. Lots of design work and details but now our backyard is our paradise. For the master we redid the whole master bathroom suite includijng a gorgeous standalone tub, and 6x7 shower with steam, new flooring, vanity etc. Extremely satisfied with Gal he made sure myself and my wife are very happy all the way till the end. They even had to come back for a couple small adjustments and prioritized it for us.

Master Bathroom
Nat G.

I hired reef builders for my bathroom remodel. I always dreamed of having a free standing bath. Gal and his team made my dreams a reality! My husband and I are thrilled with the outcome and moreover with the professionalism of reef builders. I'll admit I'm not an easy client. But, Gal had a lot of patience and was able to keep me at ease throughout the process. That was my biggest hesitation on how to work with and trust. I'm glad I pushed my husband to work with him.

In love. Thank you so much!!

I asked FOUR different employees for help while standing there waiting. The Pro Service department was literally right across from the tile cutters and multiple workers saw me standing there. One slimmer employee with a beard acted like he was going to help, then walked around me and went over to Nelly instead of actually assisting me. It honestly felt like they were more focused on flirting and talking to each other than helping customers. Nelly kept peeking her head around the Pro Service area watching me wait and still chose not to help. I stood there for around 10 minutes waiting just to get someone to unlock a simple item. The only reason I finally got helped was because a very nice manager happened to walk by and stepped in. To make things worse, when Nelly finally rang me up she was rude the entire time. Instead of handing me the receipt professionally, she just told me "grab your receipt" while it printed out. No customer service, no apology, nothing. The manager was the only good part of the entire experience. Everyone else acted annoyed that they had to do their job. Definitely one of the worst customer service experiences I've had in a long time.

Serj is very knowledgeable, and professional -- he explained every step of the process and helped us choose the right materials for our home. His crew worked efficiently, kept everything clean, and delivered high-quality workmanship, especially on the stairs, which came out beautifully. What we appreciated most was Serj's communication and flexibility. He made sure I understood my options, came to our house to take precise measurements, and most importantly helped us stay within our budget while standing behind the quality of the work. It's clear that he takes pride in what he does, and the results show it. Overall, highly recommend if you're looking for great service, solid craftsmanship, and a company that truly cares about customer satisfaction.

Eran from Elite Marble Care literally fell out of the sky and into my home when I, in desperation,…read morehad asked my carpet cleaner if he could repair/clean my damaged floor tiles. While he said he could try to do it himself, he suggested a professional tile cleaner would do a better job, and he knew just that person. In barely 15 minutes, Eran was at my door! My tiles, which were fairly new, have a natural glaze and do not require sealant. Yet, on numerous occasions, different cleaning people and even my handyman decided that sealant would make it shine more. Maybe so, for the first few weeks, but once the shine wore off, there were embedded scuff marks and ground in dirt that were impossible to ignore, let alone clean! Adding more sealant to an existing mess just made it worse. I was desperate enough to replace the "offending" tiles, but it would cost more than the initial job when so many tiles were affected. Long story short, Eran and his vast team came in and attacked the problem at once, spending painstaking hours stripping my *entire* floor of layers of gunk, leaving it looking almost as good as it did the day it was first installed. It even got its natural sheen restored. (Morale of the story is if it ain't broke, don't fix it--no more sealant or shine!). I highly recommend Elite Marble Care if you want a thoroughly professional job done with a level of expertise bar none!

At no point during 4 appointments/visits my wife and I made, with hours spent picking out tile, were we ever asked about the type of drain or slope the shower would have, and this ultimately is what ruined everything. I called to tell Anna Marie about the issue, to which she said, she did tell us about this problem, but that we insisted on this tile. This is a lie or misremembered exchange. She then also inferred that my contractor must not be good enough to install it, again dodging accountability. I asked if we could get a store credit or do anything, to which Anna Marie said no refunds and then again said my wife and I made the mistake, not her. Now I am left with a bunch of useless tile, money wasted (which I cannot afford), and a remodel on hold. In the end, Anna Marie is nice and she understands how to put color together, but she cleary has no knowledge of what tile should go where, or at the very least neglected to mention it. Mistakes happen, but both Anna Marie and Westside Tile should at least take some accountability. Now I understand why Floor and Decor right up the street is a much better option.
