Zero Stars! Unfortunately, we hired Cary Taylor at CL…read moreTaylor Construction to be the general contractor to remodel our home. We would not hire him again to build a dog house. If you are considering hiring this guy, please message me first. Long sad story. He was unreasonable, unreliable, never listened or cared about the remodel of our family home. His contract (signed in Jan. 2021) required him to complete our remodel by May 2021 - but by the end of May demo wasn't even finished. Also, there is a laundry list of numerous construction defects - some are shown in the pictures - defective installation of a slider, crooked walls, un-level countertops, etc. And, failures to fill out the right City forms - headaches after headaches. We paid him over $75k more than the contracted amount and in May 2022 he abandoned our job. Took his money and ran. On June 6, 2022, we filed a complaint against him with the CSLB. We tried to work with CSLB to resolve our differences. Cary refused. On July 6, Cary recorded an invalid mechanics lien against our home to retaliate against us for the CSLB claim. There was no outstanding invoice for the amount on the lien. We had to hire a lawyer to get the invalid lien removed. Fortunately, the CSLB is continuing to investigate our claim against him. And, fortunately we hired a competent professional general contractor, who worked with the City and us to get our remodel passed through final! Bottom line: we do not recommend Cary Taylor or CL Taylor Construction!

Designing began in April 2017, and by October 2017, my family and I were cooking and baking up a storm in our beautiful custom dream kitchen. (I'll post photos and videos later.) Always the consummate professional, we plan to hire Cary again for future projects. Since finishing the first phase of our multi-phase homestead overhaul last October, we've recommended Cary and his team-- including kitchen designer and woodworker extraordinaire, Dave Edwards-- many times over. As a result, several of my husband's and my colleagues have hired Cary as well. If you seriously need a detail-oriented, honest and hardworking general contractor, Cary's your #1 choice. Took us years to find him, but it was worth the wait and every penny. Feel free to reach out if you want a personal, unbiased recommendation in greater detail.

Robert Marinucci is the one you want if you're looking for quality work, an eye for detail, and a passion for customer satisfaction. He succeeded where others would have failed: remodeling a 1960s condo during the Covid-19 lockdown! In August of 2019, I couldn't believe the trouble I had getting contractors to submit bids after the initial "meet up"! I felt like a bad date! Jobs must have been plentiful; apparently every contractor had enough to do. This was no small job, but it wasn't enormous either - full kitchen, tile flooring, doors and windows, paint, and two bathrooms, probably 3-5 weeks in all. Then, the only problem I could foresee was asbestos removal and a persnickety association. By late October, I had contracted someone to do just the doors and windows, but the rest of the job continued to wait for the perfect match. Finally, a sympathetic friend referred me to Robert Marinucci (housewizard@hotmail.com) and I checked out a home he was almost finished with. It was spectacular. I mean, the color combinations, the bathrooms, the flooring, cabinetry and lighting all harmonized, instilling a sense of welcome and calm. He opened narrow areas in the home making them flow easily together, and revealed a talent for improving and modernizing spaces that went beyond the many standard jobs I'd seen. Robert is an inspired craftsman and his workers, especially Miguel, contribute their best efforts accordingly. My only fear was he'd be out of my price range! When I finally did sit down with him and expressed my wishes for an attractive, but affordable remodel, he made a thorough and detailed estimate. It was within my budget, so we set to work. The plan was to pull permits right around the New Year, start work in early February, and be done by early March. Experienced with the HOA's curious and contradictory ways, Robert was prepared for most surprises, but there were more to come (hint: asbestos, architects and a VIRUS!). Thankfully, the HOUSE WIZARD handled them all with grace and transparency, keeping me abreast of every step, snag and redirection. The job took a lot longer than any of us had anticipated; what started in February wasn't completed until early May, thanks mainly to COVID-19 causing inspection delays, long lines, elevated pricing and uncertain deliveries. Mom stayed with her friend during the lockdown, nobody got sick, and the result is fantastic. Here are some highlights of our adventure. The U-shaped kitchen: Robert put a cabinet-depth refrigerator in a space that used to be a pantry closet, a double wall oven where the old refrigerator blocked traffic, and replaced the range with an induction cooktop. He installed a gorgeous granite countertop and a creamy mosaic backsplash that just sings. His wonderful electrician removed the entire soffit and fluorescent lights, raised the ceiling four inches, and added recessed fixtures. Early in the project, I said I wanted it bright enough to land an aircraft in it. The room seems even big enough to land an aircraft in it! Shopping: His advice and support in decision-making was impeccable, assisting us in the selection of fixtures, stone, tile, and mouldings, offering insight, tactful recommendations, and even return trips, as if he had all the time in the world. When I was unable to join them, Robert picked up my mom in his truck to go select cabinetry, drawer pulls and vanities. If our indecision and ignorance vexed him, it didn't show a bit. Bathrooms: Robert was fearless in moving heaven and earth to get things just right. In this case, he replumbed the toilet over about six inches to allow more space between it and the vanity cabinets. He selected a wonderful corner shower with curved glass doors. When the paint we selected didn't look good, he repainted with a different shade until it was perfect! Aesthetics and extras: Every job comes with surprises and new opportunities. The interior doors looked shabby now that the walls were being painted and the rooms looked so spiffy. I laughed at the irony when I was once considering keeping the original cabinetry and just putting new countertop material on it. He talked me out of that too. With a good price on doors, Miguel had them in two days later. I had forgotten about one other fixture to change and he didn't make a big deal about adding it. He installed things my mom needed, changed wonky plugs, shifted things around as the rooms were finished, and even helped hang the pictures. He accommodated our every need, and did it cheerfully with an eye for the end result. I cannot include every little thing Robert Marinucci, the true HOUSE WIZARD, did to make our old condo look so fresh and welcoming and calming, so I'll stop here.

So here ya go, I needed to get a gate built on the side fence of my house, and to have an area grated and prepped to park an RV on. I looked quite a few places and settled on Craig's List, looking for companies that were local, as well as licensed and bonded. While I have no problem hiring someone that is neither, the last time I did I got four grand worth of cracked concrete, enough said. Anyway, I found Done Right Contracting on Craig's list and gave them a call. After several calls back and forth a the owner came to my house and gave me a bid. It seemed a little bit steep: $2100 total, $1400 for grating and placing decomposed granite in my back yard and $700 to construct a gate, but I thought that since he was a licensed and bonded contractor with a long history in the field the job would be done right. WRONG!!! My first mistake was that I thought when you hired a licensed contractor that he would do the work, not so. He showed up with a 55+ year old hispanic gentleman who he quickly put to work while he "managed" the job site. Evidently this job was more than the gentleman signed up for because on the second day he failed to show up and I was told that he quit. Now, I was told, I would get a fantastic gate because the owner himself would be building it. (there are many words which I would use to describe the "gate" that he built me for $700, none of which are fantastic, nor would they be allowed to remain on Yelp! so I will let you figure it out) Anyway, upon completion I came home and saw the finished products. First I called him to ask when he would complete the parking area and was told "it's done". Looked like dirt on top of dirt, but I was told that was what decomposed granite looked like. OK, serves me right for not doing MORE research. Lets get to the $700 gate. First he left the original rotting 4x4's and simply tied into them. Then he recycled the old hardware from my original gate and used it. And, oh yeah, the gate DOES NOT open. "Well, thats because of the weight of the treated wood. Call me in about 6 weeks and Ill take a look at it". What kind of mickey-mouse outfit is this? I had to purchase wheels which I mounted to the bottom of the gate so that it would open, I had to purchase a lock to mount into the ground so that the gate would not swing forward when the wind blew. I had to call 4 times before the guy would even come back and look at it, to which he responded " look, your a long way away. I will get there when I get a chance, but you got what you paid for." Well I beg to differ, I got a piece of crap 7th grade wood shop project called a gate, built from $165 in treated lumber (much of which was discarded because he mis-cut), that would not and could not open. So, I guess what I am trying to pass along to you, the potential consumer, is that if you want to severely over-pay for a project, the quality of which your daughters girl scout troop could complete in a day, and deal with a complete imbecile who cares nothing about the quality of his work or the name of his company; well you've come to the right place! Your better off spending $17.00 for the do-it yourself book at Home Depot and hoping for the best.
