From the initial planning phases to the final inspection, the entire team was professional, transparent, and incredibly skilled. Maximizing a smaller footprint (around 320+ sq. ft.) requires smart design, and they nailed it. The craftsmanship is excellent, though the project was delayed (primarily because of additional nuanced city requirements), their communication throughout the construction process kept us at ease. Though not everything went smoothly, they appropriately addressed and rectified any issues that popped up during the construction process. If you are looking to build an ADU in the OC area, save yourself the headache and go with this team. We gladly recommend OC Builders to family and friends. We were incredibly satisfied throughout the build process and of course the results are beautiful, and will definitely go with this team again should another project come up. They deliver high-quality work and true professionalism!

They were professional, prompt, and friendly. They did an amazing job and I am extremely happy. What stood out the most was how tidy they were. My place was really clean!

We moved here because our prior home sold with a very short escrow and this was the only place we…read morecould find a new home that would be available in a reasonable time (even at that we had to stay in a hotel for 3 weeks). We didn't know anything about Lake Forest and never even been to this area but our only criteria was something new so we bought. We bought a detached condo as it was the only thing available. It's a nice home and on par with most other tract homes. What really sets Lennar apart is their AMAZING customer service. Lori our salesperson was superb. She was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and responsive. Even now she responds immediately to text or questions. For example I had a question about real estate taxes and she sent back a detailed email in a few hours. Sales staff at other communities we visited seemed bored probably because they don't have to do anything to sell home at this time and of course the same goes for Lori but kudos to her for her professionalism, dedication, and old fashion work ethic. The other outstanding customer service person is Scott our construction supervisor. We had a question a couple of days after we moved in and he came over to explain everything. We noticed what looked like a couple of saw marks on our counter tops in the kitchen. I was going to ignore it figuring that I'd be blown off (an in fact official requests were soundly ignored), but Scott personally took care of this. He first tried to have it repaired with the goal to have them replaced if the repair was not acceptable. We were concerned about how long the replacement would take and what else could go wrong during the replacement so also wanted an attempt at a repair which was OK but not great. Scott arranged for all the counter tops to be replaced so everything would match. Granted we live in a smaller home, but everything got done in 1 day and nothing including the backsplash tiles broke. The new tops look amazing and perfect. This is the best service I've had from any builder including some high end Beach Cities custom builders from prior homes. I'm a total believer and looking to move to a single story home in the new Lennar community being built. I was thrilled to hear that Lori will be selling these homes, but bummed that Scott will not be building them; hopefully we'll find another Scott there as well. Thank you both for a great experience!

We have had nothing but problems with the quality of the build of this house. The air-conditioning…read moresystem has had endless issues, it's been replaced, it's been recharge multiple times, we insisted that there was a leak and they said no, it took four different recharge visit in order for them to come find me and that they had a leak in the system. The cabinetry is falling apart, most recently are thermostat went dark and lost power and they refuse to work on it because they say it's past the 12 months even though the heating and air-conditioning system has a 10 year warranty so they are just kind of blowing us off and not providing the service that you would expect spending over $1 million for a home. I think Lennar needs to pull their head out of their ass and start taking care of their customers, they can get away with this right now due to the current conditions with home purchasing but eventually this is going to catch up with them and they will be in a position where no one will buy a home from them if they continue to treat their customers as poorly Saed treated me

They changed out our while electrical panel to reflect new breakers that are still energy efficient and in compliance with new codes and do trip way less. They also did some quick shower fixes that they said would help. They replaced two tiles that were already kind of cracked and sealed the tile on the floor which wasn't done when the house was built. And informed us we had to run the fan 24/7 which we understood was part of the deal. Unfortunately there was mold again within about 6-7 days, and we were so frustrated, we had our own contractor come in and completely open up the shower (ripping out all the tile), to find the source of the problem. Low and behold the inside the shower walls were also wet and moldy. So brand new shower was needed. We decided to seal some of it off, which will be ok for a few years. Until we can take the time to do the entire shower and just Cleaned up what necessary on the floor, new sloped flooring and tile. That was finished about 6 weeks ago and haven't seen mold since. Overall TJ fixed what they could, what I believe was in Toby's scope and he is a really nice guy. We definitely didn't expect to need a brand new shower and have so much mold build up in a home that was built/purchased less than 2 years ago.

We added a loft but also relocated the main stairway and removed a load-bearing wall (requiring structural upgrades) to create more open living space. We worked with Doug who guided us along the way. There was a lot of back and forth as we fine-tuned the scope but TLC was always accomodating and updated their detailed quote multiple times at no cost. They helped guides through everything including the steps required with our own HOA! Once construction was approved to start, the execution was incredibly crisp with non-stop daily activity until completion. As a Facility and Project Manager, I know what great execution looks like and they delivered in spades. They only perform specific scopes (lofts, room additions, etc.) but it allows them to be experts in their execution. Everything runs like clockwork. We should also mention that they pushed for perfection the whole way. After the project fininished there were a few questions raised and they responded by showing up onsite the same day! They even chased down some issues that weren't in their original scope (we had some other work going on simultaneously). Special mention to their lead Juan Carlos who was exteremely helpful to the entire process.

YOU WANT VARKEL CONSTRUCTION…read more I worked as a painting contractor for over 20 years and until recently, handled 98% of all my home improvements or repairs. Nowadays; I have a different career, and quite frankly, I'm getting old. Digging out all my tools and hanging off a ladder 30 feet in the air has lost its appeal. This doesn't mean I'm going to let my 1.3 million dollar home investment be worked on by just any crew of schmucks. Luckily for me, I was able to see some of Varkel's finished projects through work contacts. I was greatly impressed by the workmanship and attention to detail. When it was time for my 40 year old property to get some much needed attention, I gave Varkel a call. There is a great advantage working with a professional general contracting company. After a 20 minute walk around with the owner Ernie, we knew we needed a good painting crew, talented carpenters, and a roofing specialist. Without lifting a finger or making a single phone call on my part, within two weeks these professionals were at my door ready to work. Each of these crews showed up on time, were extremely courteous, and above all, did a fantastic job. Like I said, I was in the business. I got my own ladder out and inspected every joint, nail head, and brush cut before signing that last check. I was truly impressed with the work and was left with a home that is now the envy of the neighborhood. Thank you Varkel Construction. You have a customer for life and my neighbors will be calling you soon. Bill Shepard Dana Point, CA.

While we did have lots and lots of these issues with our upstairs flooring company (I'll spare you the gory details), Bella stepped in and saved the day. Luckily, we had hired Bella to do a rather small job but quickly fell in love with their project manager, Carlos. Not only did we have them take over the rest of the flooring installation, but my husband and I loved their work so much and enjoyed all of our interactions with them, that we just kept adding to our remodel! To be more specific: Bella was dependable and prompt- Carlos texted me every single night to give me their ETA for the following day and his workers were here on time and without fail. Bella communicated clearly- all work was written down and discussed and any hiccups (there will always be hiccups!) were addressed quickly and resolved (Carlos always said, "There are no problems, only solutions"). Bella was detail oriented and took pride in their work- Luis (who did all our cabinets) is a rare master craftsman. And although this doesn't seem all that important, the entire Bella family was just nice- like really, genuinely nice and it made trying to live through a remodel with a cat, a dog, and an unhappy twenty-something year old much more bearable. I recommend Bella Kitchen and Bath without reservation and look forward to working with them again in the near future. Work done: Bella remodeled our kitchen, downstairs bath, installed all of our downstairs flooring, gutted and redid our laundry room, designed and installed new hallway cabinets, hung chandeliers, and more! https://photos.app.goo.gl/ishCoNygXer81pgc7
