Every renovation project has some unexpected challenges, and ours was no different due to…read moreextenuating circumstances. But the difference was how well the Decor team managed the project through the difficulties. One example was the discovery that our roof needed to be replaced. Not something we were aware of and not something that was part of the original project. We have nearly 100 year old Spanish terracotta tiles. The rains were coming, and we needed a fix quick. Decor put us in touch with a contractor of theirs that came out the next day and replaced the damage before rain could ruin the work being done by Decor. This close collaboration between Decor and other reputable contractors gave us confidence that Decor was invested in our whole project's success, not just their portion. We made the decision to stay in the home during the renovation of the back half with a new bathroom and adding to our back bedrooms to give us a bit more space. This allowed us to watch the work up close and see the quality and commitment each crew made as they worked closely together. We love our new changes and are grateful that a normally stressful experience was reduced by the professionalism of the Decor Team.

We were thoroughly impressed working with DECOR Builders. Tal quoted us 6-8 months for our…read moreextensive remodel, and he delivered a practically new home to us in the promised time! We really liked the seemlessness of working with the DECOR team. They were great at communication, reminders, suggestions, and help. We loved that we didn't waste time finding different contractors for different parts of the job - they had "a guy" for everything! We had a list of issues with our existing layout, and they helped solve all of them! These included: tearing down a load-bearing wall to create an open concept living/dining/kitchen area, reconfiguring all 4 bedrooms' closets, moving our washer and dryer upstairs, pushing out our garage and master bedroom and adding a master bath with steam shower, upgrading one of the bathrooms to ADA standards, installing recessed lighting throughout the home, installing a new HVAC system, finsihing our basement floors, walls, and ceiling, and re-roofing for solar panel compatibility. They gave us options along the way and supported our choices. We really enjoyed working with Anne, the interior designer. She met us at multiple showrooms to pick out our kitchen and 3.5 bathroom finishes. She knew what materials would work best for our project and created a document with very accurate renderings of each room, and provided links for the purchases that we needed to make. Eddie, our foreman, was amazing and attentive to all of our project needs. He was patient, flexible, and took the time to explain why things were done in a certain way. He made sure everyone involved in the project was on task. We highly recommend DECOR for your next remodel, big or small!

Nathan and his team are fantastic…read more I worked with Nathan on a full-gut, fully permitted renovation project. Having talked to multiple GCs to get quotes, it was clear Nathan had a very honest and reasonable approach. He also was happy to show his previous work as an example. It's also a great sign that he has a good relationship with his past client, and I can see why, now being one of them. Even after the project had mostly finished, Nathan was still helping to touch up any minor issues the previous client had. This amount of service really convinced me Nathan was the right person to go with. Nathan worked with me diligently throughout the planning phase, addressing any hiccups. He is also great at handling inspections and it was completely hands-off from me, which gave me great peace of mind. During construction, his team worked quickly, efficiently, and with high quality. He and the foreman had a great understanding of construction techniques and would explain in detail exactly what we needed to do. This gave me a great understanding of what exactly was going on in my house and give me confidence in the construction quality. Nathan was flexible with schedule. We were able to meet almost every week during the critical times and every other week otherwise to go over updates and scope of work. When needing to hit critical deadlines, Nathan and his team delivered. When decision points came up, we would go over options and he would give his advice. We were always able to quickly come to a decision. When issues came up during the build that required going a more expensive than expected route, Nathan often quietly addressed them without adding an extra charges. While I tried my best to avoid changes in scope, they inevitably come up. Some of these things Nathan covered for me. For everything else we were always able to find a reasonable path forward. When I pointed out small quality issues, Nathan didn't hesitate to get them addressed. The attention to detail is great - we acclimated the hardwood, beautifully mitered waterfall edges, installed clean under cabinet lighting, got the walls down super smooth and touched up all imperfections, custom arches were clean and perfectly curved, trims and baseboards were seamless - the list goes on. He also has a great network of skilled laborers and suppliers that all help reduce the cost a little and ensure expert quality. While the overall schedule did push out a bit (which seems inevitable in construction), the end result was worth the wait and I'm overall very happy with the quality of work and finishes. I think the best thing with Nathan is that it makes the stressful process of home renovation as stress-free as possible, and you can be rest assured he will get you across the finish line with a result that you will be happy with.

I'd like to begin by saying that we had hired Nathan as project manager once before to remodel our…read moremaster bathroom. Because we were so happy with the entire process of that job, we wanted him to handle our kitchen remodel as well. The kitchen turned out great and we are very happy with the result but there were a few problems along the way. Ours was a pretty straightforward remodel, we wanted to paint our kitchen cabinets which were original to the home built in 1969, place new porcelain countertops with a waterfall at two ends, replace the vinyl flooring with porcelain planks, and repaint the walls and ceiling. Our kitchen is a rather small galley type kitchen, so the project wasn't huge, and was expected to be completed within 5-6 weeks. Things got off to a slow start, the installation of the floor took 5 days, and didn't include the grouting which was accomplished by a different employee on a separate day, so it actually took 6 days. The installer did a nice job, but was exceedingly slow. The flooring was covered with construction paper to protect it before the grout had been cleaned off, so when it did come time to clean it, the grout had completely dried, and was difficult to remove, and took an additional full day to complete. It was estimated that 3 slabs of porcelain would be needed for the counters, but we wanted to buy an extra slab because the veining on the porcelain we had selected was complex, and we wanted the sections to flow as perfectly as possible. After the countertops were installed, which turned out amazingly well, a crack developed in one section that ran from the front of the counter all the way to the wall. Nathan was great about the whole thing and agreed to obtain another slab in order to replace it, which he did. Almost immediately, the replaced section developed a crack in exactly the same spot as the first. It was at this point that it was realized that our counters weren't perfectly flat and level, nor were they sufficiently rigid, which is a must for porcelain slabs as they are somewhat fragile. After some adjustments which included the addition of an underlayer of Hardie board and some reinforcement of the counters structure to increase the rigidity, a 3rd section was placed. The matching of the veining was not as perfect as the first installation. This was disappointing, but we would have accepted that, however, because the height of the counter had been raised due to the installation of the Hardie board underneath, the waterfall end was no longer long enough to reach the floor. Without consulting us, the fabricator spliced on a narrow strip at the floor level which did not match the veining at all and noticeably stood out. I messaged Nathan right away, and he agreed that this was not an acceptable solution, and agreed to obtain even more counter material to replace the waterfall section. At this point I was becoming slightly annoyed and asked that two slabs be obtained so that the entire section of countertop, the waterfall as well as the next section which adjoined the piece that had cracked twice could once again be matched to the level that the original installation had obtained, and without hesitation, Nathan agreed, and much to his credit, and the craftsmanship of the fabricator, the 4th attempt came out beautifully, and we are delighted with the way it now looks. The project ended up taking a little more than 9 weeks instead of 6, however, because the installation took longer than expected, we had to halt progress for 4 days for a previously planned vacation, and an additional 2 days when we had another pressing matter to attend to that was originally scheduled to be beyond the expected completion date, so that six days was on us but only necessary because the project ran longer than anticipated. I was going to rate the job as 4 stars because of the problems with the porcelain installation, but because Nathan was so understanding and easy to work with, and went the extra mile to ensure a quality job in the end, we decided to give True Builders the full 5 stars. To sum up, we are delighted with our new kitchen, but we think that a lot of the delay and frustration could have been avoided if someone had checked to ensure that our cabinets were suitable for the installation of porcelain slabs prior to the actual installation. Despite that, the work was completed to our satisfaction, and Nathan was terrific throughout the entire process, we couldn't be happier with the end result.

We recently completed a major five-month remodeling project with Shay and his team, and I genuinely…read morecannot recommend them highly enough. This was a complex scope: removing the structural wall between our kitchen and living room, eliminating the existing fireplace, adding two new patio doors to bring in more natural light, and building a small exterior addition to create a proper master bedroom closet. On top of that, we ended up doing a full house electrical rewiring after opening the walls and discovering extremely old and unsafe wiring. It was a lot, and Shay handled every part of it with professionalism, patience, and real dedication. Before choosing a contractor, we interviewed 10-15 different companies. This was a big investment for us and we wanted to make the right decision. Now that the project is done, I can confidently say choosing Shay was absolutely the right call. He consistently tried everything he could to meet our requirements, stay aligned with our priorities, and guide us through all the unexpected discoveries that come with an older home. One example that stood out to us happened in the middle of the project. A city inspection got delayed through no fault of the contractor, and our schedule began to slip. Because we were living in a hotel during the remodel, every lost day was stressful, both financially and emotionally. To help us get back on track, Shay put together a daily, itemized recovery plan that reorganized the schedules, tightened the workflow, and ultimately brought us right back to our original timeline. That thoughtful planning made a huge difference to us. The electrical surprise was another moment where Shay shined. When we learned that the wiring behind the walls was dangerously outdated, we decided to do a full-house rewire. Two bedrooms were not part of our remodel, and we were using them as storage, so moving furniture around was very complicated. Shay helped us figure out a sequence that minimized disruption and avoided moving things multiple times. He took the initiative to coordinate everything and make the process as painless as possible. Throughout the project, his crew, especially Jorge and Herminia, were consistently kind, respectful, and detail-oriented. They were extremely careful with measurements and installation placement, and the craftsmanship is visible everywhere in our home. It's rare to see that level of care on both the big structural items and the small finishing touches. After 5 months of work, we are absolutely thrilled with the result. Shay and his team earned every bit of this 5-star review, and I would work with them again without hesitation.

We hired Geri and his team to implement our plan for a double bathroom remodel. Both baths were…read morestripped to the studs, non-load-bearing walls moved, windows resized, and all-new everything installed. This included replacing a cast-iron tub with another cast-iron tub, adding an electrical subpanel, replacing stucco, moving an attic vent fan, a copper repipe, and the usual tile, fixtures, vanities, etc. Geri's team did an excellent job, and our bathrooms turned out as close to perfect as anyone could reasonably expect. The work was done on time (plus extensions for unforeseeable delays, namely discovering the need for the repipe), and Geri's guys were dedicated and showed up on time and stayed late every single day of the project. Geri himself checked in regularly - every other day on average - and asked us constantly if we needed anything. He was very responsive to calls and texts, and always followed through on his promises. We chose Geri over two other bids largely because Geri was the only one enthusiastic about accommodating our request to do the bathrooms in sequence so that we could stay in the house. As Geri says, often, "it's no problem!" Some other positives: Geri personally handled all of the permitting process, including scheduling and attending all inspections. Having dealt with San Jose permitting before, I can say this is a very valuable service. The team was very cleanliness-minded: They covered every non-work area to prevent dust from migrating, covered their traffic areas with taped-down paper, and cleaned up all debris, even sweeping nightly before leaving. A few considerations (not criticism!) to keep in mind: The foreman and craftsmen on our project were all great, hard-working, and skilled, but as the customer you need to make sure your desires are known to Geri and/or the team. Don't just assume they can read your mind. Geri required us to purchase our own finish materials before the project start date, which is fairly standard and was part of our contract, explained clearly up-front. He provided assistance with choosing sizes, quantities, etc., and pointed us to places to get good deals, but be prepared for a lot of leg-work! We would not hesitate to hire GS Design and Build again for any future remodeling work, and we do not hesitate to recommend him to our friends and neighbors. Thanks Geri!

We got the keys and one month later we moved into a completely transformed home! The quality of the work is excellent, and Mohsen brought great modern design ideas and smart cost-saving options that didn't compromise on quality.
