    Nearing the end of the living room remodel
    Jeff K.

    I've vetted over 15 construction companies. I checked reviews, I looked up their licenses. At the end of the day, you need to trust your gut. It was important to me that who I went with had workman's comp insurance, had their license for over 10 years, and had no complaints against their license. Talk to your friends or family and ask them how their experiences have been with GCs. It's usually not positive. It was basically impossible for me to get a recommendation, which is why I had to look on my own. So there's extra anxiety spending a lot of money with someone you've never worked with and someone who didn't come with a personal referral. Believe me, I went through A LOT of sleepless nights before I landed with Romano Builders. This project was 2 big jobs. An ADU remodel, from a previous garage. Also redoing our living room in the main house. The previous owner did some really shady work, that we ended up re-doing the right way so that it was permitted and safe. When I met Eli (owner of Romano Builders) originally, he seemed like a good guy and that he knew his stuff. He took his time to come out and look at my needs. He asked a lot of questions, reviewed our design plans. He provided a quote when he said he would. He wasn't the least expensive, and he wasn't the most expensive. Before I signed on with them, I also toured a couple of active jobsites and spoke with other home owners. They had nothing but good things to say about Eli or the quality of the work. We started work in April and wrapped up in October. We definitely had plenty of surprises along the way -- all of which were the very "interesting" ways that the previous owner decided to do things. Eli was always upfront and honest as we went, and always explained things to me in terms I could understand. His workers were all nice to deal with, and we never had any issue with one of them not respecting our home or our space. Overall, I am very pleased with the work. I would 100% recommend Romano Builders to anyone looking for home construction work. Not everything was perfect but we're human and when something wasn't to my liking they jumped on it right away. Also, they added a TON of value on several aspects of the projects along the way. If there was a small change or something that the plans slightly overlooked -- there was never any nickel or diming. Beyond overseeing the work at the house, Eli also worked closely with the city to handle all the inspections. He was at the jobsite every day without fail. Whenever I had a question, he was always just one call or text away. Always upbeat and nice too. You gotta remember whoever you go with, you're gonna deal with them A LOT -- if they are an a-hole, you're gonna be miserable for MONTHS. You will be very happy with the work from Romano. Go with Eli.

    This is our beautiful kitchen, thanks to Romano's Builders!

    Romano Builders did an incredible job of installing new countertops, repainting and reinstalling drawers and cabinets, as well as installing new appliances. The process was easy and on time. Alon was especially helpful, visiting often to make sure it all got done as we expected. Angela in the office did a wonderful job of scheduling all the activities and keeping us posted about progress. Thanks so much!

    Our experience with Romano Builders was beyond amazing! We decided to remodel our kitchen, and from the first meeting we felt that we are choosing Romano builders with a lot of confidence. The high level of professional, best communication, patience, and detail oriented for every single thing was unreal. There was not a single day pass by without workers coming in on time, after we got a office call day before telling us what is the scope of work and who is coming. I have no words that can describe our happiness and the high level of the quality kitchen we have. If I will need any other remodeling in the future Romano builders will be definitely my 1st choice. Thanks for the all team that make our dream to reality.

    i took a chance on this company for a slight kitchen remodel after all the excellent reviews here. met with Alon, and the rest is history. i am extremely pleased with the end results, as you can see in the before and after pics. Alon has been extremely professional and organized with his team throughout the process. I highly recommend him!!

The payment schedule was part of the contract so no guessing. We had an old deck that had seen better days so an upgrade was needed. We went with Trex composite. Angel, Raul and Joel did a great job. Professional, hard working and listened to our needs. Angel was the foreman and came to the house every day to make sure the project was on track and also rolled up his sleeves when needed. John handled the contract and payment schedule and was very easy to work with as well. They also finished the project within the timeline set in the contract. I plan on hiring them again for our front deck.

    In my 60+ years, I have hired more contractors than I care to remember. There were many good ones…read moreand, unfortunately, many terrible ones. In all my dealings with the contractors, I have never had an experience like what I had with YourDeckBuilders.com. Whenever I hire a contractor, I always make an effort to observe the workers to see how they do their job. If I watch any of them long enough, I would always notice something that is not up to par and had to ask them to do it correctly. With Angel(project manager) and his crew, however, I did not have a single incident where I thought they did a subpar job. It was always a pleasure to see how much attention they pay to the details. It was obvious that the crew takes pride in their work. It didn't take long before I felt perfectly comfortable to let them do their work and only check on the progress once in a while. Each time I go check, my spirit is lifted anew by all the fresh signs of quality workmanship. Besides the satisfaction with the workmanship, I much appreciate Angel's emphasis on safety. This is especially important to me because our deck is on a hillside. I was thrilled to see Angel's team putting in more than 50 deep footings(yes, I counted them), each one down to the bedrock supporting the deck. To this old engineer's eyes, it was clearly an overbuilt for safety, and I love every bit of it. I know in my heart that when the big quake hits, my family will be perfectly safe standing on our deck. In all my previous contractor experiences with any sizeable project, there was never a time where I didn't experience at least some stress and anxiety, whether on quality, schedule, cost, etc. During my entire experience with YourDeckBuilder.com, I have experienced nothing but excitement and satisfaction. It was a uniquely strange feeling that I shared with my wife and family repeatedly during the duration of the project because I could never have expected my experience with any contractor to be so pleasant. The guys at YourDeckBuilder.com are, by far, the best contractor I have ever worked with.

Their workspace was always clean and thoughtful for our pets and family to traverse to and from the house while they worked on the project. And most importantly, the finished gate and fences were clean, high quality and polished... and better than we imagined! Our second project we just finished this past month was our deck (and roofing as our garage sits underneath our deck). They replaced our leaky wooden deck with new beams, proofing/coating, tiles this time (the whole nine) and it is perfect- complete with polished iron, a side gate to match our existing gates/aesthetic and touch ups where needed. Tal was very transpararent from the beginning and made us aware of the pros and cons for every material and promptly finished the whole project within two weeks. He went above and beyond-communicated every step of the way. We trust them with any home project and would hire him and his team again in a heartbeat.

I initially contacted Yair through Yelp, and he responded immediately to schedule an on-site walkthrough and provide an estimate. The project involved rebuilding an upper main deck, a lower deck, and two sets of stairs using composite materials (Trex/TimberTech). Because of the unique design of the house and lot, all elements were irregularly shaped, so I specifically wanted a true deck specialist. Yair quickly provided a detailed and competitive quote, offered expert guidance on design and construction details, and brought material samples to help with selections. His pricing was the most competitive given the scope of work, and he committed to an aggressive one-month timeline that was my hard deadline to ensure the deck would be completed in time for Christmas holiday parties. Yair's five-person crew arrived on time every day, kept the site clean at the end of each shift, and demonstrated exceptional attention to detail. The workmanship was excellent throughout: hidden clip systems were used for a clean, screwless look across the deck surfaces, countersunk plugs were used along the borders, and all cuts and measurements were precise. As someone who works in real estate development and is very detail-oriented about construction quality, I was extremely impressed with the final result. Additionally, the team went above and beyond by reinforcing the foundation and underlying framing to prevent future settling, rather than relying solely on the original footings that had been compromised by termite damage. Yair was on site daily to supervise the work and provide expert input on several challenging transitions and angles created by the home's layout. The project was completed in just 12 working days--ahead of the planned 15-day schedule--with no cost overruns. Overall, I highly recommend Dr Deck to anyone looking for high-quality craftsmanship, professionalism, and reliable execution on a deck project.

But after redoing our garden beds and restoring our original exterior windows, that hideous slab became un-ignorable. It turns out finding someone willing to build a new porch is really difficult. We spoke to six different companies and most wouldn't be transparent about their pricing, quoted insanely high numbers, had spend minimums, tried to forgo the vision entirely to be closer to (but still above) our budget, or never replied. We reached out to Jack, not expecting much different, but were immediately impressed by the time he took to speak with us about our porch and design goals. He walked us through different considerations, proposed different materials, and answered questions to be sure we were all aligned and the integrity of everything would be solid. He then sent us an incredibly detailed recap and proposal of what he would do with itemized pricing, really underscoring his authenticity in wanting to be a true partner. Throughout every step of the project, Jack made sure to consult with us through any decision we needed to make or reconsider based on the actuality of what we were encountering. In construction, the only guarantee is that something will come up, requiring flexibility, and every time it did, Jack had solutions that actually ended up exceeding our original design. He was also incredibly patient whenever we deliberated on different ideas or when we were moving through his workspace. His commitment to our project and work was noticed and remarked on by multiple neighbors, as he and his team worked through long days and some brutal summer heat to get it done before we had family visiting. In fact, several stopped Jack, or us, to get his contact for themselves. Whenever it came to the finishing details, like custom balusters and top rails, Jack was quick to be critical of when a piece didn't turn out as well as the rest, pointing it out and starting over. Jack also had to laminate multiple pieces of wood together and seek out a specific machine to achieve the custom rounded top rail we were after for the new railing. By the end of it, Jack delivered us a porch that exceeded our expectations and our initial hopes. Having worked with so many vendors on so many different projects, we taught ourselves to not expect perfection but in this case, Jack delivered the closest to that of anyone, ever. The truth is, there just aren't many craft people like Jack around anymore. And there are even far fewer with customer service as incredible as their talent. Jack is one in a million and we consider ourselves supremely lucky to have met him and that he had availability in his project schedule.
