    Jagged edge and cracked tile

    If I could give negative stars, I would. Allen Fowler of Taurus Construction has no right to be in business. He was referred to me by a friend, and so I went into our venture with some blind trust, unfortunately. Originally, last October, he was supposed to remodel my 3 bathrooms and kitchen, but after attempting 2 bathrooms, I let him go. He does not itemize his work, rather gives broad, general lump sums of money and work. He did not do any of the work himself, but had subcontractors do it all. They completely demo'd 2 of my master bathrooms not putting up any kind of barriers or even replacing the bathroom door at the end of the day. The result was that there was dust and debris all over everything in both master bedrooms - at least a half an inch of concrete dust over EVERYTHING. The work was so poor that most of the work had to be re-done - tiles were scratched and chipped, the floor grout was discolored, the shower doors were installed incorrectly, the bathtub itself was set incorrectly and moves, the towel bar fell off the first week, in one bathroom the light was placed off center and was never even installed in the second bathroom. The toilet was literally rocking. He tried to convince me that it was fine that the light was off center and sent me pictures of his off center light in his bathroom. He also tried to convince me that the laminate flooring I put in was too thin causing the toilet not to fit and I would have to rip it out and have his tile guy put in tile. (I had a friend who is not even in construction who was able to correctly fix the rocking toilet and it has been fine ever since WITH the laminate flooring). They installed chrome fixtures on the shower part and brushed nickel on the bathtub part of the same tub/shower combination in both bathrooms. The hot and cold water in one bathroom shower are opposite, and because they did not re-install the insulation around the pipes, I can hear water running so loudly through the pipes any time anyone takes a shower. It is so loud it even wakes me up if I'm sleeping. He did not consult with me on most things he installed like the sinks, toilets, and vanities. He installed different fixtures than the ones I picked out and they look like cheap hotel ones. I had to pick out the quartz counter top through text messages on the phone as he was shopping there THAT day only. He used kitchen cabinets for the vanities which are three inches taller than regular bathroom vanities. He even did this in my daughter's bathroom so reaching the sink is challenging for her. When I addressed my concerns with him he told me I was micro-managing the project and frustrating everyone. I did a punch card/walk-through with one of his subcontractors because he was too sick to do it. I gave him 6 weeks to correct his errors which he never did. He admitted to me via email that he did not oversee his subcontractors, but at the same time stated everything was great. Finally in December, I refused to pay him any more than I already paid him because I basically had to completely redo the work his subcontractors had done. I've had 4 other contractors look at my bathrooms and gave me estimates from $18,316 to 30,649 to correct all the errors. He maintains that the work is fine even though he never was here to see it himself. I know another person who started work the same time I did and is going through very similar things having other contractors tell her all the things that are wrong with the work. It has been a year for her and the work is still not done. Whatever you do, do not, do not hire Allen Fowler/Taurus construction for any work. I deeply regret it and believe you will too.

    Madar was amazing. I was given very honest advice, unlike some other builders. Their expertise in…read moreADUs is amazing. I highly recommend.

    Review Update (2026)…read more I am updating my original 5-star review from a few years ago. At the time, we were very happy with our kitchen remodel and the overall experience working with Creative Design & Build. The project turned out beautifully, which is why I originally left such a positive review. Over the years, however, I noticed that one section of the flooring felt slightly soft when walking on it. At first, it did not seem serious, so we continued to live with it. Recently, the problem became worse and a section of the floor began to noticeably sink when stepped on and eventually a few edges of the flooring broke. At that point, I became concerned that it could become a safety issue. Because we still had plenty of spare flooring boards left over from the project, I attempted to replace the affected board myself. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the new board to fit correctly due to the locking system, and I could not restore the original board either. I then contacted Creative Design & Build for assistance. One reason I reached out was because our original project manager, Oded, had told us that if we ever had any issues, we should contact the company. I left a voicemail and later received a return call from a staff member. After I explained the situation, she said she would check with management and get back to me. A few days later, I received a text message stating that the warranty had expired and that no repairs would be covered. This was disappointing because I had never been informed that there was a four-year warranty period, nor was I able to find any reference to such a limitation in our contract. When I asked for details regarding the warranty and whether they could recommend someone to repair the issue, I did not receive any further response. There were two other issues relating to electrical and plumbing, however we decided to live with that until we had a major problem we needed fixing. I still appreciate the work that was done on our remodel years ago, and our kitchen remains a space we enjoy. However, I have been disappointed by the lack of follow-up and support when a problem arose. My advice to future customers is to make sure all warranty terms, coverage details, and expiration dates are clearly documented and understood before signing a contract.

We had a very ambitious project plan, including a full gutting and remodel of the kitchen and dining room space and a full gutting and remodel of the front half of our upstairs. The kitchen came first, and took around 3 months due to some unexpected issues that arose from the original construction of our 50 year old home, and a stone cutting subcontractor that botched his end of the job and then ghosted the company. Golden Shore Design and Build immediately promised to handle a full correction of the issues that subcontractor caused at their expense, and then proceeded to follow through on the promise. Once the kitchen was nearly finished, it was time for the upstairs. We gutted the non-structural walls in the front half of the house upstairs, and proceeded to put together a beautiful master bathroom / bedroom suite. That job took around 3 months as well, and ended up finishing a bit ahead of the original timeframe. I won't say there were not small issues that came up throughout the process, but that is really to be expected. We are doing major construction on a 50 year old home, and living in the home the entire time. When there were imperfections that needed fixing, Alex and Petra took care of them. When there were unexpected problems that arose due to the age of the home, they gave us honest and reasonable change order quotes, and options to not break the bank. The work that Alex, Petra and their entire team of people did really brought our dream design to life, and we are thrilled with the end results! We are even planning on having them back to do a guest bathroom that we originally left out of the scope.

    We hired LARS for a whole house interior re-model. Everything was wonderful- great communication…read moreemail/phone. Everyone on the team was kind, helpful and we enjoyed working with them. We had some bumps with personnel leaving the company, but they immediately had someone there to take the place so there were no delays. Our project stayed on budget, and it was completed a couple weeks early , so we were able to enjoy our home for the Holidays! We went for round 2 with them for a pool house ( room and bathroom). Originally we wanted to do a prefab to save on costs but honestly, it wouldn't look good with the house and yard, this is our forever home. It's now completed and it looks like it's always been here. It's beautiful, fits the space, and functional for our family. Overall, the craftsmanship and care with all the trades were stellar. We can't recommend them enough. Ken - the project consultant( both projects), Rochelle- interior designer( both projects), Majd - residential designer ( pool house) , Memo ( pool house) & Owen ( whole house) as project managers were on top of everything. And we can't forget Randy! He got all the details dialed in before our move in & always had treats for our dogs!

    If I could give them zero stars, I definitely would. Jon, the project manager was totally useless…read more He failed to secure porta potties so workers used our restrooms. He did not secure our hallway and den so workers had access to our private papers. Our windows and doors were left unlocked numerous times, even though we had our belonging still in the house. They tossed our plants and pottery into the dirt, breaking things and killing plants. They use the middle of our living room floor as a trash dump where they threw empty water bottles, packaging, and other junk. They used flat paint in our kitchen and bathroom and when I pointed it out, they argued with me until I had to do research and go to the paint store to prove that they were wrong. They accidentally put molding up in the bedroom and took it down, leaving nail holes all along the ceiling line instead of asking us if we would pay extra for the molding. They put the lights up over our kitchen counter in the wrong place and had to move them creating new holes in the ceiling. They had to move the HVAC system because they put the vent in the bedroom. All new wall construction has patches and gouges that weren't sanded properly. The bathroom was repainted three times and it's still isn't correct. They attached our outdoor lights without anything in the back so they are hanging off the wall. Trying to get these issues dealt with has been a nightmare since last November when we moved back in. Constant appointments, needing to be available sending the wrong people out here and having them create a bigger mess. We are being handled by some employee we've never met and have not heard one word from Brandon, the president of the company. The fact that the project manager was fired after our project was very telling. You'd expect that knowing how incompetent he was that they would've assigned someone out here to oversee all of the problems we've been dealing with. That did not happen.
