To respond to your response: It was only 3 years after…read moreconstruction our leaks started and clearly were "band aided." our previous home had a deck and we lived there 11 years with no maintenance and no issues. Had we been told we needed maintenance, we would have absolutely done what told. *we did not pay last 25k bc per YOU it was forgiven as you installed WHITE cantina doors while we were at work and refused to change them out for the BROWN doors ordered. We did not want a 25k credit..we wanted our brown doors!! would cost $60k to replace. We have NO contract with the deck company and paid them nothing. Our contract was solely w gonterman construction. Further, the hammock was removed in 2018, you are incorrect. It's wild to think we have had NO other furniture out there either..not even a chair. you'd think a deck of that size we could have a dining table and 6 chairs...weighing more than a frontage hammock anyhow. Unfortunately, from researching and talking with two neighbors: 1) we have cracks all throughout 3 years later 2) gonterman walked and left many small things unfinished Seems we are not alone. We would highly recommend OC decks who was professional and knowledgeable. In our contract we have a TEN year warranty and instructions on any maintenance. Fant

His attention to detail was invaluable for us and all of his guys were super professional.

We are obsessed with our house now and would for sure use them again for any remodel needs in the future!!

My wife and I hired Zac and his team at Well Done for a home addition and full remodel, and to say…read morethe experience was pleasant would be an understatement. From start to finish, Zac and his team guided us through every step of the process, and the final product turned out even better than we could have imagined. They truly gave us our forever home. All work was properly permitted and completed within the estimated timeline they originally provided. Like any major project, a few issues came up along the way, but Zac was always there to work with us and help get everything across the finish line smoothly. What really stood out was the level of support even after the project was completed. Zac continued to take our calls and help address the little nuances that naturally come with a remodel of this size. We would absolutely use Zac and the Well Done team again and highly recommend them to anyone considering a remodel or addition project.

I was looking for a team to complete a full remodel of my HB cottage, and wanted to engage someone that could manage the process for me from start to finish. I gave them an initial budget and they put together a design for me...the cost of which they subsequently estimated would be more than 2x my budget. When I let them know that we were going to stick to my initial budget, they seemed to lose interest in my project. They became extremely slow to respond, and worse, the process for getting City approvals lagged. I had to constantly check in with them to get status updates...so much for project management. From engagement to approved plans took almost ten months. In contrast, the contractor I hired to actually implement the plans completed construction in six months....and that's after taking into account that the contractor had to wait an extra month while Well Done finished processing plans with the City.

Cesar is a conscious listener who was always available to take calls or even come out to speak to us in person when requested. Javier was the foreman who led the crew. He was communicative, respectful and informative. All of the crew was courteous of our home, very polite and listened to us. The office staff kept in touch with us regarding payments and any questions we asked. Our bathrooms turned out beautiful. We are very happy with them. Aside from the high quality and value of work Grason provides, Cesar and his crew follow through with their word which is very hard to find now with companies.

Of everyone I spoke to, Chris took the time to thoroughly look at it, explain to me why it was leaking, present options for short and long term repairs, and was super communicative after. So when we finally decided to finish out our garage, we knew who to call. They're the best! We've had various projects done by contractors over the years and I've just always been searching for one that seems to genuinely care about doing it right, like it was their own home. That's Chris and his crew. They clearly explain what they're doing, what options you have, the pros and cons of each, and price differences. Super responsive and communicative and trustworthy. And they do a great job! We're really happy with our garage now. It actually feels like a nice living space now because they were very detailed with every step, ensuring the construction is solid and also looks nice. Can't recommend them enough! We've found our guy and will always work with him and his team moving forward.

This is an overdue review, but i wanted to wait at least 6 months to write out a full review!…read more It was my first time renovating anything. I wanted to redo the inside of my entire house (yes, EVERY inch) and didn't know who to work with. I was given quotes that were 3-4x my budget and had a contractor pull out of the project 2 weeks before my scheduled demolition. I got super discouraged until i found Frame Build & Design. They were able to work with what I had and made my experience very enjoyable. They provided me a rendering of what the inside of my house would theoretically look like, and I can confidently say that it looks pretty darn close to the pictures! I'm so pleased with how all my cabinets & fixtures turned out. I appreciate Idan for answering all my questions and dealing with my complaints. He was patient with me and would send a guy over to fix or add things that I wanted (like outlets on the ceiling for my speakers, patching holes, etc). He went above and beyond to get permits for renovating, be there for city inspections, and keeping me posted on progress. I will say however that if you are planning to hire this team, you will need to be hands on. This means being involved in EVERY decision! I had to pick out all my materials on my own to match the rendering provided in the beginning. FB&D provided some locations I could check out, but it required a lot of research on my end. It felt overwhelming as a first time home owner, but this is pretty normal from what I understand. FB&D had an interior designer on this project and she was a HUGE help in decision making. There's no perfect contractor. Yes there were some communication issues and yes there were some imperfections. Yes it took 2x my timeline. What renovation doesn't? But ultimately the FB&D team were very accommodating with my feedback and gave me my DREAM home. And I can say 7 months into living here, everything is still holding up great and nothing has broken! I highly recommend hiring them for your next project! They did a great job. I ultimately went over budget but that's totally expected (and totally on me)! Thank you Frame Build & Design!

He asked me very detailed questions that I hadn't thought about yet. I knew that he was detail-oriented and that he was already invested in my project even though I hadn't given him the go-ahead. I planned to do a room addition, which required an architect and getting those plans approved by the city. He took care of all the back and forth so that my focus could be on other aspects of the project. I had walls knocked down, a window put in, and new walls built. I added some aesthetic upgrades, which he took care of quickly. Daniel always responded quickly anytime I reached out to him. I was never stressed about the project, and he made sure to stop by regularly to look at the work that was done. He even noticed things that I hadn't and made sure the crew came back to correct them. Daniel is the lead that you want handling your project. I highly recommend him and his team and would use him again.

John Christopher Construction built an ADU to my exact specifications, worked with me on a daily…read morebasis, and brought the project to completion in the budget allotted. Ours was not an easy build due to the fact that we had to excavate quite a bit as the ADU was build in to a hillside and near a slope to the rear of my property. If I had to focus on one thing, it would without question be communication. I was assigned a job foreman who guided me through the entire process, listened to my needs, provided me feedback, and helped me along the way with all the little changes that arose during the build. We made a few changes along the way and we were given clear communication of the requested change, as well as a fixed price for the change. The use of sub contractors is a part of any build and each of the contractors selected were respectful of my property and my neighbors, did an above average job, and were a compliment to John Christopers team. I would advise anyone considering an accessory dwelling unit to choose this contractor for the project. We spent a lot of time selecting the right contractor and were even led astray by a few. I can honestly say from my perspective, there's no-one better suited to build a detached ADU than John Christopher Construction. Before choosing John Christopher, we viewed several of their builds in process as well as spoke to some of their employees and customers. We would be happy to host potential customers as the pictures I am attaching to the review don't even come close to doing the ADU credit.
