    Look at all that useless space! Really bugged me as my condo is 900 square feet. More storage! Ron help!!!
    M A.

    I had two closets that sat across from each other in a short hallway between a bedroom and bath. I wanted to convert the area into a "walk through" closet. The interior of the closet was being handled by another firm. On the bedroom side, I wanted a modern sliding barn door. Since the two closets needed a header to support a door, I knew I needed a professional. Ron Cohen was that professional. Not only professional, Ron is a seasoned, old-world craftsman, a rare breed in these days of flippers and quick-fix "construction" dudes. Ron came to the house, walked through the job site and listened! After taking measurements and a bit more chatting, he explained what he thought was needed. I also showed him some unused space in my other spare room. It was a 4x3x4 space above a door high up that would be perfect for storage except it had no doors and was high up (yikes). Ron and I discussed what I wanted--- doors and a library ladder for getting up there --- and to look decorative. He suggested re-using the doors from the closets I was redoing -- perfect! We arranged a basic project outline and he promised to send a bid which he did over email. The bid was accepted and in no time Ron was on the job. He really worked with me -- and added some lovely, decorative black walnut to the door jamb, the door, and the closets. Ron transformed my builder-grade hallway closets into a mini-high-end walk through closet. Love, love it! He also re-used my old closet doors to build a new mini-storage area for my luggage and winter jackets. The library ladder I wanted now serves to safely let me climb to the storage or to replace the battery in the smoker alarm. And it will soon double as a cool bookshelf when not in use. Ron is fantastic. If you want innovative execution with old-world carpenter expertise and quality workmanship, you should definitely seek him out.

    Ron is absolutely great to work with, we had a great interaction and great experience with our first project with him. And we definitely intend to work with him again. We've been struggling for a while to find a good way to access a small loft which opens to our dining area. A full blown staircase would take up too much space, and the barebone ladder was very difficult to use. After much research, I found pictures online of wooden retractable ladder, which was perfect for our space! The project required a lot of thinking outside the box, being a total custom job, which involved building a metal hinge from scratch, and very accurate measurements and execution, so that the ladder slides open without noise or effort. Ron brainstormed with us, and came up with an excellent solution, and saw potential issues way before starting any work. The work was done quickly, in about 3 days of actual work, plus some coordination with a welder etc. We are very happy with the results, and use the ladder every day!

We made several additions and deletions along the way, and every change was priced fairly. The final cost ended up within 2% of the original estimate - no surprises, no hidden fees. - Excellent design support: We met with Steve many times to refine the floor plan and choose materials. His guidance was thoughtful and patient, and we loved the final design. - High quality materials: Most selections came from their showroom, and everything was top-tier. For example, they recommended porcelain tile instead of the luxury vinyl many contractors push. - Outstanding workmanship: Majid was on-site almost every day, making sure everything was done right. He often suggested improvements that weren't specified in the contract, always with our best interest in mind. - Great follow-up service: After completion, a few minor issues came up. Kevin and later Lawrence responded quickly and sent someone out right away. We highly recommended Xpress Kitchen & Bath for any remodeling project.

They have honored their one year warranty not once but twice. Since completing our master bathroom last Summer, the team was called to address a tiling and tub issue. The tub ended up being faulty; regardless, Majid sent his plumbers to address the issue. We cannot express how grateful we are for our beautiful bathroom that we enjoy every single day. They stand by their workmanship and deliver incredible service and projects. Thank you!

Communication was clear and consistent, so we always knew what was happening and what to expect next.

The crew was respectful of our home, kept the job site clean, and stayed on schedule as much as possible. Any questions or small adjustments were handled quickly and professionally. The final result exceeded our expectations, and our kitchen looks and functions better than we imagined. We would absolutely recommend Wise Builders to anyone considering a kitchen remodel and would gladly work with them again!

All prior interior work in our house had been done by handyman. I really appreciated the communication from our project manager Marc. He created a WhatsApp chat with me and the incredible designer Jocelyn. They were both consistently responsive to any of my questions or concerns -- and opened my mind to design options. Jocelyn spent time in our home, drafted plans, took me shopping, and sourced all the fixtures. From her spreadsheet I was able to find less expensive options for some items. I appreciated the input and control I had on these expenses. Since we needed to move out, I had a tight timeline for the project -- mid October until Thanksgiving. Marc and the team did their best despite City of San Jose delays with inspections. We were able to move back in before the final inspection. Every member of the team was kind and courteous. Marc also did a great job working with the window vendor that specializes in older homes. I'm rating the experience a 4.5 out of 5 for two reasons. I was disappointed that the medicine cabinet, switch plates, and hooks were initially installed unevenly (it was corrected). I expected more attention to detail. And I was disappointed in the wear & tear that happened on my wood floors as well as the overall dust in my dining room. I was warned that things would get dusty -- but didn't understand the extent and would have packed away more things. WISE offers lots of support with design -- they could also offer as part of their package a full cleaning! I offer this feedback to help others calibrate their expectations. Overall it was a positive experience. I waited several months to post this review until I returned from travel and could see how things were settling after regular use. I'm loving the new bathroom and recommend WISE.

Since we were short on time, we decided to find a new contractor to complete our new house. Masterful jumped in and started construction even before all the design details were finalized because we couldn't afford to waste any time.

When we met Yuvi for the first time, he immediately understood our vision and came up with great ideas and creative ways to make it work within our space. A few days later, Yuvi came back with two detailed quotes and patiently walked us through both options. He answered all our questions and helped us choose what would work best for our home and budget. From there, everything moved smoothly. The permitting took around three weeks, and construction was finished in about two and a half months, right on schedule and with no surprises. We also want to mention Adrian, the designer, who was such a pleasure to work with. He helped us choose all the materials and finishes while staying within our budget. His eye for design and attention to detail made the whole process so much easier and enjoyable. The combination of functionality and style he brought to the project made a huge difference. Throughout the whole process, the crew was respectful, clean, and very professional. They paid attention to every little detail, and it really shows in the final result. Our new master suite looks amazing, and it feels like it has always been part of the house. We are so happy we chose Masterful Construction for this project and would absolutely work with them again in the future.

The pace of the job was very smooth right off the bat and only picked up once the work started. During the design phase the team including Liane were very pleasant to work with. Liane was extremely patient and helpful while she met us at two design stores to assist us in choosing colors and layouts. Once the work started, we were very impressed with the site prep as Eli delivered on keeping as much dust out of the the rest of the house. He made sure crew setup plastic sheeting throughout the whole bottom floor with zipper doors included so we could still access the living room and upstairs. From here, we were very pleased with the pace of things. Eli and his team are very eager to work and do not make you wait. The demo happened very quickly and before we knew it we were moving very quickly through rough electrical and plumbing. The rest of the job went very smoothly and ended up being ahead of schedule. At any time if something was not right, Eli was very open to our suggestions and critiques and always made sure his crew fixed the issue.

Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. The main issue arose with the exterior stucco work, which began cracking within days. Ilya sent his guy to fix the problem and his guy just applied another layer of stucco to cover the cracks! After one week, the cracks became evident and had worsened. My husband and I have decided to go with a different contractor to fix this issue. I had informed ILya about this and he initially agreed to reimburse us for a stucco patch. During this time, we decided to legalize the remodel. From the city inspection, we found out that the problem wasn't just superficial--underneath the stucco, we discovered improper waterproofing, incorrect lathing, and screws that did not comply with California code. This oversight could have led to much larger structural issues in the future. When I explained that this was not simply a patch job but required a complete redo of waterproofing, lathing, and screw replacements, Ilya became unresponsive. Alex, the manager, visited our site multiple times during the project in January and even guaranteed a one-year warranty, promising to provide a formal contract after we made full payment. Despite repeated follow-ups with Andrei, the estimator, we never received that contract. If you're considering United Pro Handyman, I strongly advise you to demand a binding quote or contract that includes all warranties before making any down payment. Be cautious of their "choice" between a 10% discount but you pay for the materials or no discount but they will shoulder the cost of materials--insist that they cover materials, especially for larger projects. They purchased unnecessary items, including insulation pads that were never used, resulting in a complete waste of money. As of today, our newly stucco wall is now ready to be painted. We passed all inspections and it feels so good to know everything was done correctly. We regret our decision to work with United Pro Handyman and recommend others proceed with extreme caution.

Specifically, we wanted the closet to be soundproofed and have its own temperature control. Sarmad was very accommodating in our requests to install soundproofing insulation, and even suggested QuietRock drywall to enhance soundproofing.
