Highly recommend!

We were able to complete the job in reasonable time and within the budget that I set for the project. The bathroom remodel consists of installing a new custom bathtub along with a custom shower layout. We had a 2 sink vanity installed in a custom countertop material.

What was more impressive is their dedication to their clients. After the job was completed, Derek and team followed up with us and gave my family a 2-year extended warranty on all labor. The team made sure we were 100% satisfied with their work. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone.

Okay, in their defense.. i did not get to hire them so i can't tell you how good the work was, or…read moreif they were on time. BUT.... I will tell you this story: We met with Bret Schiller (seems like a nice guy) and gave him our plans that was drawn up by our architect so he can give us an estimate. We didn't hear from him for a few days, i started to get worried. So we called him and left messages. he didn't call back. Turns out he had gone out of town for a week or so and neglected to tell us. Fine.. no big deal i thought. i'm sure he was busy and it was an honest mistake. But thats not all.... He informs us that he has LOST our plans! Needless to say, we did not go with him to do our remodel. He did apologize profusely and offered to pay for new plans drawn up. And we were leaning towards another contractor anyways since we thought he dissappeared on us so weren't going to hire him anyways. So no huge harm. But just wanted to share the small experience.

Oh yes, we also had a baby and founded a software startup in the middle of the whole thing. We met Kyle through our architect (also fantastic - Jonathan Feldman) and he was helpful with assessing feasibility and cost during various stages of design, even though we hadn't yet hired him. We chose him after a bidding process and haven't looked back. There's so much I could say, and feel free to message me if you want a more detailed reference, but we've just been thrilled through the whole process. Almost everything went super smoothly, his lead carpenter (on site every day) and other subcontractors were all great, communication was fantastic, and he's not let a single thing just slide. When issues came up (and we had no expectation of there being zero issues), he handled them with integrity. Lastly, I feel like he's not "just a builder" - he took way more time with the design details and was far more knowledgeable in that regard than I had anticipated, and pushed me on things that I wouldn't have noticed until far later if ever - perfectly aligning tile/mirrors/windows in the bathroom for instance. An architect friend came over and complimented our architect on some of the precision details and I said, "That was actually all Kyle!". (Not because the architect failed to notice them - it was just something that could only be addressed once all the finishes were chosen.) We worked pretty hard at being good clients (collaborative and communicative) but Kyle exceeded our expectations and we're looking forward to working with him again! Feel free to message me if you want a reference or any advice on the process.

We had the misfortune of hiring this firm for a total remodel project in San Mateo, and caution…read moreprospective customers to factor in our experience. Among three firms we asked to bid, they were not the cheapest but they were available right away (now I know why) so we hired them, despite cautionary comments from a prior customer and a vendor who occasionally works with them. Boy, do we regret our decision. The first month or so was fine. No hiccups no problems, and they were as nice as can be. Then when we started getting the bills, we noticed errors (all in their favor of course) for items that they knew were taken out of scope, and duplicate charges that were being booked in different line items on prior bills for the same work. We started to examine every charge after this, and in every single bill there were extraneous charges. Had we not stayed on top of this, we would have paid thousands more than necessary. Kyle, the owner, and Judy the accountant, have absolutely no ethics, and will try to sneak in every excess charge they can. Even in an industry known for being dishonest, they stoop to a new low. And the work is shoddy. We had a lot of problems with their plumber and drywall subs so the work had to be redone again and again, and it's still not right. They hire the cheapest subs they can find, pay no attention to the quality, and will steal from the subs too. If you HAVE to hire these people, pay attention to every line item and do the supervision of the subs yourself, because they certainly won't do it. And the "project management" was a joke. She was so bad they fired her, but we paid the price literally and figuratively for the confusion she caused. I would run, not walk, from these people.

Thankfully my fiance and I got a referral to Victor and his team at Castro Home Builders.

In fact, I was comfortable enough with the experience that I recommended Victor to friends and family. Unfortunately, about two years later, we began experiencing recurring mold on the baseboards in our master bathroom, along with water damage to the wall outside the shower. Victor was quick to come out and repair the wall and replace the baseboards, but the problem continued to come back. Eventually, we had another contractor inspect the bathroom, and we discovered that the entire master bathroom subfloor was wet, moldy, and damaged in multiple areas. I brought the inspection and video evidence to Victor, but I was disappointed by his response. Rather than taking responsibility for investigating the underlying issue, he suggested that we had punctured a pipe behind the shower, which was not the case. After further investigation, we learned that the shower waterproofing had been improperly installed. Holes had been drilled through the waterproofing membrane of the shower pan to secure it, allowing water to leak through and eventually cause significant damage to the subfloor. Fortunately, his insurance company came out and inspected as well and found it to be faulty installation, and reimbursed us for the cost of correcting the damage (over $20K). While I understand sometimes mistakes do happen, I found it very disheartening that he would not take responsibility for the damage which made the entire process of redoing the bathroom quite a headache.
