Initially we were put in contact with Yazan who walked us through the process and showed us some recent ADU's that the company had built. Yazan was very responsive and stayed involved throughout the entirety of the project, helping with cabinetry and other design details along the way. Although we were a bit hesitant on the price at first, when things were all said and done we stayed within budget (as Yazan had promised). There were some minor delays along with the way but the project finished ahead of schedule in just under 5 months. It did take a bit longer than expected to get our permit at the beginning, but once the project started, things moved rather quickly and efficiently. We were particularly impressed with the efficiency of the foundation and framing crew. The structure went up quite quickly. Our project manager Alex was very knowledgeable straightforward. At times he was a bit blunt, but we appreciated the honesty and responsiveness. He always made time to make sure our needs were addressed and our concerns were listened to, with action plans to resolve provided immediately. We are very happy with our new ADU and the experience with VHB overall!!

Nathan and his team are fantastic…read more I worked with Nathan on a full-gut, fully permitted renovation project. Having talked to multiple GCs to get quotes, it was clear Nathan had a very honest and reasonable approach. He also was happy to show his previous work as an example. It's also a great sign that he has a good relationship with his past client, and I can see why, now being one of them. Even after the project had mostly finished, Nathan was still helping to touch up any minor issues the previous client had. This amount of service really convinced me Nathan was the right person to go with. Nathan worked with me diligently throughout the planning phase, addressing any hiccups. He is also great at handling inspections and it was completely hands-off from me, which gave me great peace of mind. During construction, his team worked quickly, efficiently, and with high quality. He and the foreman had a great understanding of construction techniques and would explain in detail exactly what we needed to do. This gave me a great understanding of what exactly was going on in my house and give me confidence in the construction quality. Nathan was flexible with schedule. We were able to meet almost every week during the critical times and every other week otherwise to go over updates and scope of work. When needing to hit critical deadlines, Nathan and his team delivered. When decision points came up, we would go over options and he would give his advice. We were always able to quickly come to a decision. When issues came up during the build that required going a more expensive than expected route, Nathan often quietly addressed them without adding an extra charges. While I tried my best to avoid changes in scope, they inevitably come up. Some of these things Nathan covered for me. For everything else we were always able to find a reasonable path forward. When I pointed out small quality issues, Nathan didn't hesitate to get them addressed. The attention to detail is great - we acclimated the hardwood, beautifully mitered waterfall edges, installed clean under cabinet lighting, got the walls down super smooth and touched up all imperfections, custom arches were clean and perfectly curved, trims and baseboards were seamless - the list goes on. He also has a great network of skilled laborers and suppliers that all help reduce the cost a little and ensure expert quality. While the overall schedule did push out a bit (which seems inevitable in construction), the end result was worth the wait and I'm overall very happy with the quality of work and finishes. I think the best thing with Nathan is that it makes the stressful process of home renovation as stress-free as possible, and you can be rest assured he will get you across the finish line with a result that you will be happy with.

I'd like to begin by saying that we had hired Nathan as project manager once before to remodel our…read moremaster bathroom. Because we were so happy with the entire process of that job, we wanted him to handle our kitchen remodel as well. The kitchen turned out great and we are very happy with the result but there were a few problems along the way. Ours was a pretty straightforward remodel, we wanted to paint our kitchen cabinets which were original to the home built in 1969, place new porcelain countertops with a waterfall at two ends, replace the vinyl flooring with porcelain planks, and repaint the walls and ceiling. Our kitchen is a rather small galley type kitchen, so the project wasn't huge, and was expected to be completed within 5-6 weeks. Things got off to a slow start, the installation of the floor took 5 days, and didn't include the grouting which was accomplished by a different employee on a separate day, so it actually took 6 days. The installer did a nice job, but was exceedingly slow. The flooring was covered with construction paper to protect it before the grout had been cleaned off, so when it did come time to clean it, the grout had completely dried, and was difficult to remove, and took an additional full day to complete. It was estimated that 3 slabs of porcelain would be needed for the counters, but we wanted to buy an extra slab because the veining on the porcelain we had selected was complex, and we wanted the sections to flow as perfectly as possible. After the countertops were installed, which turned out amazingly well, a crack developed in one section that ran from the front of the counter all the way to the wall. Nathan was great about the whole thing and agreed to obtain another slab in order to replace it, which he did. Almost immediately, the replaced section developed a crack in exactly the same spot as the first. It was at this point that it was realized that our counters weren't perfectly flat and level, nor were they sufficiently rigid, which is a must for porcelain slabs as they are somewhat fragile. After some adjustments which included the addition of an underlayer of Hardie board and some reinforcement of the counters structure to increase the rigidity, a 3rd section was placed. The matching of the veining was not as perfect as the first installation. This was disappointing, but we would have accepted that, however, because the height of the counter had been raised due to the installation of the Hardie board underneath, the waterfall end was no longer long enough to reach the floor. Without consulting us, the fabricator spliced on a narrow strip at the floor level which did not match the veining at all and noticeably stood out. I messaged Nathan right away, and he agreed that this was not an acceptable solution, and agreed to obtain even more counter material to replace the waterfall section. At this point I was becoming slightly annoyed and asked that two slabs be obtained so that the entire section of countertop, the waterfall as well as the next section which adjoined the piece that had cracked twice could once again be matched to the level that the original installation had obtained, and without hesitation, Nathan agreed, and much to his credit, and the craftsmanship of the fabricator, the 4th attempt came out beautifully, and we are delighted with the way it now looks. The project ended up taking a little more than 9 weeks instead of 6, however, because the installation took longer than expected, we had to halt progress for 4 days for a previously planned vacation, and an additional 2 days when we had another pressing matter to attend to that was originally scheduled to be beyond the expected completion date, so that six days was on us but only necessary because the project ran longer than anticipated. I was going to rate the job as 4 stars because of the problems with the porcelain installation, but because Nathan was so understanding and easy to work with, and went the extra mile to ensure a quality job in the end, we decided to give True Builders the full 5 stars. To sum up, we are delighted with our new kitchen, but we think that a lot of the delay and frustration could have been avoided if someone had checked to ensure that our cabinets were suitable for the installation of porcelain slabs prior to the actual installation. Despite that, the work was completed to our satisfaction, and Nathan was terrific throughout the entire process, we couldn't be happier with the end result.

Even before we bought the house, Mohsen took the time to walk us through the expected remodel costs so we could make the right decision. That support alone meant a lot. They fully remodeled our home -- kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, new cabinets and island, flooring, painting, plumbing, and electrical -- and they finished everything in just 4 weeks. We got the keys and one month later we moved into a completely transformed home! The quality of the work is excellent, and Mohsen brought great modern design ideas and smart cost-saving options that didn't compromise on quality. He's patient, kind, and really wants his clients to be happy. My wife changed her mind several times on the kitchen and closets, and Mohsen never made it an issue. He always listened and made the changes with a smile. We absolutely love our new home and honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a trustworthy, talented, and customer-focused contractor, I highly recommend AAA Construction.

Our remodel involved converting one living area into a full guest suite, adding a powder room, replacing patio doors, changing the master bedroom windows, and removing a brick fireplace and pillar. There was also structural work involved, so it was important for us to work with someone we could trust. Mike and Kristina were easy to work with throughout the project. They explained the process clearly, handled the design and permitting, and kept things moving. Kristina's updates with photos were especially helpful because we always knew what was happening. We visited the house during construction many times, and the worksite was always clean and organized. The crew was friendly and professional, and it was clear they took pride in their work. The project was completed on time, and we love the way the space turned out. We would gladly recommend Adria Design & Build to anyone looking for a reliable remodeling team that communicates well and does quality work.

They delivered a complete transformation -- including a kitchen relocation, removing walls, updated bathrooms, and modern finishes throughout. My home is now modern and clean. Important note: MK Construction is not a full-service design provider. You will need a third-party designer if you want full interior design or architectural plans. However, they excel at functional design guidance, and that added tremendous value to my remodel. Their recommendations included: * Choosing the right vanity sizes to ensure proper spacing with toilets in the bathrooms * Selecting a waterfall countertop design that doesn't restrict seating * Optimizing placement of fixtures and appliances for daily use * Soundproofing to reduce noise across the home * floorboards design that matched the interior door designs. It's the little things like these that make a home pop and Mike made sure to ask these questions to ensure installation and design was on point. Their workmanship and reliability were impressive. They corrected tile issues proactively, replaced outdated electrical outlets, and ensured each material was installed correctly. Mike was often on the job site daily either directly workers or doing the work himself. So I was able to check in with him on a daily basis with clear communication and consistent on-site updates. I always felt safe, respected, and supported. As a woman managing the job site on my own many days, this was a critical factor in choosing a contractor I could trust. For anyone seeking a high-quality Bay Area remodel contractor who communicates clearly, delivers excellent work, and treats clients with integrity, I strongly recommend MK Construction Group.

After interviewing nine contractors, Vince stood out immediately. His background as a framer and union superintendent gave me the confidence that he could manage the complexity of the job and handle any surprises -- and he absolutely delivered. The scope of work was extensive. Vince and his team installed 1,100 square feet of mixed engineered hardwood and tile flooring. They replaced all the baseboards, door trim, and doors with new, shaker-style finishes and updated all doorknobs. Electrical upgrades included installing new can lights and retrofitting existing ones, along with new light switches and outlets. A new French door was added to the exterior for improved aesthetics and energy efficiency. One of the standout custom features was a flush-mount range hood, which required Vince to reconfigure the ceiling joists -- a task most general contractors would have outsourced or avoided. His framing background allowed him to tackle it confidently and correctly. The two bathrooms were fully remodeled. In one, we reconfigured the walk-in shower. In the other, he installed a soaker tub and, impressively, added a hidden pop-out access door in case of leaks -- it's so seamless you'd never know it was there. That kind of forward-thinking and attention to detail was consistent throughout the project. Vince also identified mold and rot in the subflooring -- something no other contractor caught -- and made all necessary repairs. His partner Hugo did outstanding work on the bathrooms, and every subcontractor Vince brought in was professional, reliable, and well-managed. They didn't just focus on the visible upgrades -- they addressed everything behind the walls and under the floors to ensure the home was sound. The entire interior was painted as part of the job, pulling everything together with a clean, modern finish. Vince showed up early, stayed late, and treated this house like it was his own. He communicated clearly, solved problems quickly, and didn't nickel and dime us when surprises came up. His craftsmanship, honesty, and work ethic are rare in this industry. If you're looking for a builder who can handle complex renovations with precision, integrity, and true expertise, I can't recommend Shark City Builders highly enough.
