In just ten months, A Squared Construction rebuilt our home beautifully and also worked with us to add extras from our wish list (not covered by insurance), making our home even better than before. Throughout the entire process, their communication was clear, responsive. They kept us informed, made suggestions and adjustments based on our input, and truly cared about getting everything right. We are grateful for their work and would recommend them to anyone looking for a construction company that goes above and beyond!

We just completed a master bathroom remodel with Benicia Home Improvement and could not be happier…read more The remodel was completed on time, on budget, and the result is beautiful. Our goals were to create a bathroom that would allow us to age in place and to make a small bathroom more functional and appear larger. These goals were exceeded and then some. A+++ grade goes to Benicia Home Improvement. We especially appreciate that Benicia Home Improvement is a design/build company. This makes the remodel experience very efficient. We did not want to spend hours and effort shopping for materials. At the outset, we met with designer Angela to discuss goals and preferences. Materials such as shower surrounds, countertops, hardware and flooring were available on site for us to evaluate. (We could have shopped further afield if that was our choice.) With Angela's expert guidance, we settled on the design and materials, and then Joe and Cody took over the implementation of the vision. They did a fabulous job! The craftmanship was expert and superb. We especially appreciated their professional skills, dedication to communication with us and cleanliness of the worksite. In addition to being skillful, Joe and Cody are just nice, pleasant people to have in your home almost daily during the workweek for the duration of the project. Central office support was excellent. The Benicia Home Improvement owner, Jeff Laugen, is highly experienced in construction, personable, and readily available for any issues that might arise. The price he quoted us for the project was competitive and fair. Also outstanding were Jim, the troubleshooter in the field, and Kayla, who provides great administrative support. While most of the people on site were employees of Benicia Home Improvement, we were impressed with the subcontractors on our job, including Shawn, the shower glass guy, Omar the plumber and David the tile guy along with his helper, Dax (a Benicia Home Improvement employee). If you're considering a home improvement project, you can't do better than Benicia Home Improvement. For our next remodeling project, we'll look no further than this outstanding local business. We recommend them without reservation.

Nathan and Ernesto did an awesome job. Didn't know what color to do the grout for the back splash but Ernesto with an eye for color schemes picked the perfect color, black to go with the pull handles and the cabinets. The price was just right for my budget. I'm still loving my kitchen a year later. Nathan, sorry I was a b-autch, I was without a kitchen fir 3 years til you came a long.

I had an excellent experience working with Ron from Green Group Remodeling over the last few weeks…read morewhile exploring a garage conversion. Although I've decided to put the project on hold for personal reasons (finishing a campervan project first!), I wanted to specifically highlight Ron's incredible professionalism and dedication. I did a lot of research for this project, and Green Group was the only one out of five companies that offered both competitive pricing and a payment plan that strictly followed California law. That level of transparency and commitment to legal standards is rare and was deeply appreciated. We spent over three weeks going back and forth on the quotation and contract details. Ron was extremely patient, answering every single question I had and providing a highly detailed, transparent 16-page proposal. If you're looking for a team that is thorough, communicative, and professional, I highly recommend reaching out to Ron. They will be my first call as soon as I'm ready to move forward with the conversion!

Unfortunately, after a miscommunication about part of the project, which I thought we had resolved amicably (I compensated him for the materials he had already used), he later admitted he was upset and had been purposely avoiding my follow up communication. He left the original job on Friday saying he would return the following week to finish a few remaining items. After that, I spent over a month trying to get a response, with little to no communication and no explanation for this treatment. When I finally expressed my frustration, he admitted he had intentionally been ignoring me because of the earlier misunderstanding and offered to send someone to finish the outstanding tasks, "if that's what I was upset about." That level of unprofessionalism was far more disappointing than the few remaining tasks on the project. Misunderstandings happen, but they shouldn't result in giving a customer the silent treatment and leaving a job unfinished. I cannot recommend someone who responds to conflict by avoiding communication completely.

I am beyond furious with Julian and J&G Tile and Baths after hiring them for a simple shower…read moreremodel--it's been a complete disaster! They ignored the contract entirely, skipping vital steps like setting the shower pan in mortar, leaving me with a crooked, flimsy base that flexes under my feet (see photo). Julian canceled on me FIVE TIMES in two weeks which caused me to cancel and reschedule incoming sheetrock and painting contractors. The shower head? Installed at a ridiculous 5 feet--like that's remotely usable. They even had the nerve to lie about shimming the base properly. Now I'm stuck paying another contractor to rip out their garbage work and start from scratch. Thousands of dollars added to the project and weeks lost in time. This company is a total sham--unreliable, incompetent, and a waste of money. The picture speaks for itself, just look at the huge gap under the shower pan that Julian thought was acceptable. Stay far away! Update: Had to have a contractor remove the shower installed by J & G Tile and found a complete lack of skill, knowledge and integrity. The following was noted on demolition: 1. Shower pan was not shimmed, set in mortar to level and sealed around the edges. 2. Plumbers putty was not used to seal the drain into the shower pan. 3. Shower head was not secured to the wall and moved around freely. 4. Silicon sealant was not applied under the wall when setting the walls. 5. Use of proper adhesive was not used to secure walls. This is the most upsetting as there was literally six small drops of caulking and a splash of silicon on the back. When the wall was removed it was pulled away by just using hand leverage. Someone could have been injured or killed had the wall come lose with it weighing several hundred pounds.
