We opted to go with Neal's company because of how personable he was and we felt that we can rely on him to do a good job. We were in a rush to get the project done and even though he was booked for weeks, he accommodated our request to start right away. He was always available to talk to and made sure to answer any of our questions, and even provided suggestions for our project. He was also very transparent with the prices and we appreciate that. His team did a great job and was always on time everyday to work. The renovated room looked great and we are very happy. We will definitely work with him again for future projects. Thanks, Neal and Team!

He is a hardworking, diligent man that has an eye for details and has some amazing ideas! NO WONDER HE'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR AS LONG AS HE HAS!!! He makes you feel you are part of the family and his work doesn't disappoint. He and his buddy came in and personally installed my windows in what felt like no time--it was as if my cool uncles came and did the work all while talking and having a relaxing time. I only say this because I was told by friends it was going to be a long and exhausting process but they made it look easy and relaxing! I've had my roof redone, my windows, and I'm excited for the more projects that I will have him work on!

Upon hubby saying we were interested in working with his company, we were visited late that same day by project manager Omer (aka David.) Upon entering our home, Omer (David) was friendly, professional, and clearly explained the building process to us. After walking around our backyard space and taking measurements, we requested have a walkway built from our driveway to the backyard using stone pavers, gravel and plants for our sloped backyard, and something to be done with our spacious side backyard. We appreciated that Omer (David) shared our excitement about our backyard project and was very responsive regarding any questions or concerns we had regarding our backyard project and responded promptly to our text messages. We were excited and surprised when construction began the next day and were impressed by how quickly the construction team took care of weeds which plagued hubby for months. Whenever told Omer (David) In times that Omer (David) was unavailable, he sent his assistant Moses to physically come and provide status updates on our backyard project. After a full week of work by Omer's construction team, our backyard project has been completed and we are elated over the final result. We would definitely work with Omer (David) and Moses again in the future and would also recommend Speciality Builders Inc to anyone looking to beautify their backyard space.

If I could give them a 0 star review I could. I live in a new community in Banning, Ca. My wife and…read moreI were approached by a gentleman named Ron representing the company. He walked us through the process and everything involved to have my backyard done. The quote came out to roughly $23,000 for basic pavers and turf. While it seemed pricey they assured us everything that has to be filed to the HOA would be handled by them. My HOA required all new construction homes to have their backyards completed within a year of purchase and they assured me that they would handle the procedural processes to have all work approved and filed with the HOA. This took place in November of 2024, now in February of 2026 I am being held to a violation for no notice of completion by my HOA and must attend a hearing for not giving notice of completion. They are not even aware of the work that was done. Ron's partner (I think the name is Tyler) was the one that I provided all the necessary documents to. They alleged that they had a partnership as a preferred contractor with my HOA and everything would be done smoothly. Clearly this was at least incompetence or at worst dishonest business practices taking advantage of young new homeowners who had just started a family. They also assured me that the first three months of payments would be covered and that I would receive a check for it and I never did, when asked by me following up I was ghosted. Additionally the work was not up to the "high standards" they stated. When I was called by the office to give my approval upon completion I pointed out several items that caught my attention and was told by them that I have to say yes because it is easier for them to fix any issues through the warranty process, they were upset about my call as well and prompted an in person visit by them. We are both two full time professionals with a two year old so the issues fell on the back burner because we were just happy to have a landscaped backyard for our son to play in and celebrate his 1st birthday the next month rather than dirt. The main reason we chose this company was because they assured us they would remove the barriers of the HOA by handling it themselves, we feel cheated and lied to and has left us in a terrible position. If we had known that they were not preferred partners with our HOA we would have never done any work with them. Which why I am sure they brought it up in the first place. 10/10 would never work with this company again if I won't have to and would never recommend it to anyone else as they are clearly not fans of honest business practices.

Blessed for my house- but truly regret hiring this company to help make it a home. Awful and…read moreunprofessional. Do not use this company. They will do whatever it takes to get you to sign the contract. The work is subpar and just plain BAD in most aspects. I'm posting this to protect anyone researching making an investment in a remodel or rehab. Their subcontractors are constantly discussing money and contracts with us the homeowners instead of the employer. Trust me - Look elsewhere. This company DOES BAD work, they do not communicate well, and they will argue with everything. These pics are just a few examples of what we'll have to fix or pay other people to fix. Run!!! Find another company!!! Larry's response below is nonsense also. Nothing complex whatsoever, but for this company it must have been. Absolute nonsense and gaslighting like every other conversation with Larry. If he ever listened. Met him once and never saw him again. He just collects money and makes up excuses for shoddy work. For the record- they still have my house key - never returned it. They left many items undone and garbage for us to clean up after them as well.

I got 12 state of the art 2pane windows fully installed in ONE SINGLE DAY. I can't believe how great they look, it's was a real transformation at a terrific price. And they were so easy to work with! I'll DEF be bringing them back to do my stucco work and door hangings, and that's just for starters! 11/10 experience, will hire again pronto

You can't even tell there was ever an issue--it looks that good. He was also very professional and reliable throughout the project. He showed up on time, kept the work area clean, and stayed on schedule. Communication was consistent, and he made sure I was updated every step of the way. What stood out most was his attention to detail and pride in his work. It's clear he cares about doing things the right way, not just the fast way. We're extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend this company to anyone needing repairs. Truly a great experience all around.

As much as we wanted a kitchen remodel, I was not looking forward to interviewing contractors. I…read moreheard how they start a job, stop for some reason, and do not return for several weeks. Fortunately, my sister just had her kitchen remodeled a few months earlier and we liked the outcome so we skipped the estimates and went straight to her contractor-- New Era Kitchen Designs. Ricardo arrived with samples, listened to our plans, offered suggestions and soon had enough details to feed into his app. He returned with schematics and we agreed on the final details and a start date. He and his crew arrived the day he said they would and worked Monday through Friday, 9:00 - 5:00, until the job was completed. They never missed a day. They were skilled, friendly, polite and accommodating. As work progressed Ricardo continued to offer suggestions and was willing to accommodate a few change requests. The remodel included ordering three windows at Home Depot, but unfortunately they were not ready by Ricardo's completion date. One was a custom size, where he had to remove a large window and replace it with a small picture window. This required him to build a window frame and fill-in the wall. He installed a wooden placeholder until the new windows were ready for pickup. When they were available at Home Depot he picked them up began installation. In all they installed a porcelain ceramic tile floor, three windows, four new appliances, wall cabinets, lower cabinets, quartz countertops, backsplash, a large sink, ceiling lights and new electrical switches. They cleaned up after themselves, hauled away old materials, and even moved our old appliances to the curb for pick up by the city's waste removal services. And all done at a fair price. When I asked, he said he also does other jobs and is willing to give a quote for non-kitchen work such as additional window installations, flooring in other rooms, new doors, installing a gate at my backyard, etc. We will definitely call him again. In short, we highly recommend New Era Kitchen Designs
