He is one of the most honest and quality-focused contractors I have ever worked with. During planning, I spoke to a number of other contractors who wanted to use retrofit windows and just leave the siding in place. Alan took the time to explain the proper way that the building wrap, siding and windows had to interface to get waterproofing, and how we were better off replacing all three if we wanted to be sure we'd fix our problem. Even with this extra scope, Alan's pricing was very fair. Thank god we went with Alan. When they removed the existing siding, they found severe water damage underneath the siding and a subpar earlier repair job. When this surprise came up, Alan talked us through the damage and gave us our options. They ended up ripping up two layers of existing siding, cutting out damaged building sheathing and replacing it with new plywood, before proceeding with the job. The overrun costs were very reasonable and we never felt like Alan was taking advantage of us. The end result was great quality at a fair price, and peace of mind that our issues have been resolved and we won't have to worry about the front / roof for a long time now. I would definitely hire Alan again and would recommend him to anyone looking for this kind of work.

My bathroom was very outdated and probably hadn't been updated since the house was constructed in 1960. I met with more than five contractors and from the start, Yovel proved he had experience, a point of view on what would work for us, and an easy going manner. LB's quote was fair and they were upfront about potential change orders or other costs that might come up (not surprising for such an outdated bathroom!). Throughout the project, Yovel kept me updated on progress and sought my opinion when different options were available on how to proceed. In one instance, he came up with a great way to cut the tile so I could avoid paying for a whole extra box. The updates were particularly important for me because I didn't stay at the house during this renovation, because this was my only bathroom. I gave me the peace of mind that everything was under control when I couldn't personally be there to oversee things or give input. The bathroom turned out AMAZING and it's easily my favorite room in the house now. I would happily work with them again on my next home renovation.

Never knew about life time warranty until last month, one of the window cracked. We didn't have any receipt or anything, just an email we did 14 years ago. We just contacted the company on their website and amazingly, they have the record by the address. The service department was so helpful, they contacted us and contacted the manufacturer to set up appointment with the case number to get it replaced. The windows were replaced 14 years ago in one day and we had many custom sized windows. The amazing thing is they know exactly which window that cracked by us describing the location of the window. Anlin Delmar (Milgard) called us and setup the appointment. They came and replaced the windows in a few hours. It was amazing and we're extremely happy. Now we know, go with the best and reputable company like Custom Exteriors and a good manufacturer like Anlin Delmar to have after service years after the work is done. Would we recommend Custom Exteriors and Anlin Delmar? The answer is obvious, YES.

I had such a positive experience that nearly two decades later, when it was time to replace my front door, I hired them again. Because of our climate, the door can swell and shrink during periods of extreme rain or heat. Customer Exteriors has now come back three times--at no additional charge--to make adjustments so the bolt lock continues to work properly. I've been especially impressed with their customer service. They respond promptly to calls and service requests and stand behind their work long after the installation is complete. That kind of reliability is hard to find, and I imagine it's a big part of why they've been in business for so long. I would definitely use them again.

Morales Plastering Construction has been our smoothest experience yet! The owner, Alejandro Morales, is a joy to work with. He takes immense pride in his work, and it's evident that his team respects and enjoys working for him. He is a hands-on owner who (literally) isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to ensure the highest quality; he even personally helped complete the finishing paint work on the repaired stucco and surrounding areas. Communication with Alejandro and his team was top-notch. All workers showed up on time and cleaned the job site at the end of each day. We had multiple leaks in our windows, and Mr. Morales was able to diagnose the root cause immediately. He offered repair recommendations and a very fair quote--a much better route than replacing the windows entirely!

It was not usable with uneven dirt containing nails, glass, etc. thus felt unsafe letting our dog outside to enjoy. Initially, we attempted to DIY this project but quickly learned just how humbling and physically demanding digging dirt is! After 3-4 months of digging, we decided to call in the professionals. We received 3 quotes for this project. What made us choose Bayside Builders was how personable, easy to work with and no pressure feeling we received from Omri, our Project Manager. From the start, Omri had great communication and was receptive to our desire to keep this project as cost efficient as possible. What also stood out was his willingness to follow up in-person to discuss the project plans after the first consultation, as compared to an email write up of the project plans which other companies normally do. We are also so appreciative that the Construction Manager, Luis, was very open to communication. Throughout the 3 week project, we had a group message with Luis and Omri to make communication easy regarding material decisions and any questions/concerns on either end of the parties. From both Luis and Omri, we felt the commitment to creating the best possible final product and we never felt pressure to add additional work to the project as we did from previous groups we consulted with. The communication Luis had with his crew was palpable as they worked so efficiently each day. The crew themselves were respectful (i.e. bringing in our garbage cans up the driveway at the end of the day on garbage day and doing a thorough clean up at the end of the project) and receptive to feedback when needed. We would not hesitate to recommend Omri and Luis as well as their crew to our friends and family. If you want efficient work, great communication, and a respectful group to complete your project, I'd recommend these guys! (: Thank you for making our yard functional, beautiful, and another safe place for our dog to run around. (:

From the very beginning, Nick stood out. While several other contractors either declined the project or gave vague, surface-level proposals, Nick was transparent, confident, and highly detailed in explaining exactly how they would approach restoring the home properly. He walked us through each step of the process--from surface prep and repair to priming and finishing--so we knew exactly what to expect. That level of clarity and professionalism immediately built trust. Execution matched the promise. His crew was exceptionally skilled, punctual, and respectful of our home. They maintained a clean job site, worked efficiently, and paid close attention to detail throughout the project. Communication was another strong point--Nick kept us consistently updated on timelines, daily progress, and costs, with no surprises along the way. He delivered exactly within the timeframe he committed to. What really set Nick apart was how he treated us--like family. There was a genuine sense that he cared about the outcome as much as we did. The final result speaks for itself: our home looks completely transformed. If you're looking for a contractor who combines craftsmanship, integrity, and clear communication, I highly recommend Bayside Builders Group for projects of any size.

I have dealt with other construction companies in the past which turned out to be negative experiences. They disappeared at times and did not communicate clearly or honestly. I had the opposite experience with Golden State. Zach and Alex with Golden State were the two people that I was in most contact with. They were extremely efficient and reliable. They communicated clearly and honestly. They completed two porches which were in need of replacement and a lot of siding that was damaged followed by a beautiful paint job on our family home. They also completed the job much faster than I expected. Alex's crew did the work. Each one of his crew members was friendly, polite and a hard working individual. We thought the pricing was fair. Much better than other companies that we considered for the job. My wife and I will definitely recommend them to others who may need similar work done.

    Since this will be a detailed review, including photographs, and since not everyone may want to…read moreread through all of it, I'll list the main takeaways up front: 1) This company prioritizes keeping to their schedule over doing the work correctly. 2) There is a serious lack of oversight on projects. I also want this review to be balanced, so I'll say up front that there were certainly a number of thing that went well in my siding replacement project. But enough things went badly that I regret having chosen Golden State Builders to do the work. My project involved removing 60-year old cedar siding and replacing it with t1-11 plywood siding on the front of my house. I planned to stain rather than paint the siding, which is admittedly an unusual approach. And this entailed some additional complications, two of which I discussed with the foreman before work began. First, plywood cannot be left sitting in water. I therefore emphasized that the metal flashing beneath the siding could not be flush against the bottom, and that an air gap must be left so that the plywood can dry after rain. Regardless, the Z flashing was installed flush against the bottom (see photo below), and for long stretches tilted in toward the panels, which would have acted as a basin directing water toward them and holding it there. When I pointed this out, they removed the Z flashing, which left the underlying L flashing in a somewhat tattered-looking condition (see photo). Golden State apparently considers this to be aesthetically acceptable, and it's what's currently protruding from my wall. Second, although I ordered premium t1-11 panels for this project, such panels always vary in appearance. Some are almost entirely "clean" while others have visible patch marks or major color irregularities. I therefore asked the foreman to place the dirtier panels on the right side of my house, where they would be largely hidden by foliage, and the clean panels on the left side, where they would be immediately visible to visitors and passersby. Despite this, the crew installed one of the dirtiest panels on the left side of the house (see photo). For various reasons I did not demand that they redo this, but it's indicative of a general lack of attention to customers' stated preferences. On the right side of my house, the new siding extended a little farther out than the original siding had. Consequently , it ran up against, and overlapped with, a wood fence that touches the right wall of the house. Rather than removing the obstruction, or even consulting with me to see what I wanted done, they made the remarkable decision to bend the plywood panel at the end (see photo). This could have led to delamination and other structural problems down the road, apart from not looking very nice or professionally done. But it was clearly the fastest way for them to "fix" the problem and get on to the next job. Now, the thing about all of these issues is that none of them were identified by the company itself. And the reason is that there was no effective oversight of the work crew. The onus was entirely on me to spot and report them. Once I did so, they acknowledged them and fixed (most of) them. (There were other smaller ones I won't go into here.) But clearly, the formula seems to be: if the customer doesn't know enough or doesn't check carefully enough to complain, leave it and move on. The problem here falls mainly on the project managers. My original one disappeared as soon as work started, and consequently exercised no oversight. He was replaced by a second one once I started pointing out problems, but that second one likewise identified no issues on his own, despite the fact that some were discovered (by me) only after he was put on the job. Good project managers visit worksites daily and inspect work closely. Golden State's project managers do not do this. I would identify this as the primary issue with my project. Golden State would probably argue that the main problem was the foreman. They claim to have fired him immediately after my job, but if that's even true, it's small consolation to learn that the work has been done by someone worth firing. But I would say that the onus falls on the project managers, who are simply not doing their jobs, and on management, which is probably encouraging or at least tolerating this behavior. Look, if your idea of siding replacement is throwing up some hardie board and painting it, then these guys will probably do a decent job. But if anything more complicated or detail-oriented is involved, you're probably better off hiring a small local contractor rather than a large outfit juggling many jobs over an extended area. I wish I had.
