This is the second bathroom that Wise Builders (specifically Charlie Villa-Lovos) has done for me. Charlie worked with Angel and his team to quickly (3.5 weeks) (start to finish) remodel my spare bathroom. The work was quality and the bathroom looks wonderful. Just to note that Charlie is really patient when answering questions and explaining the information in understandable, digestable content. Which I find super good as a lay person. Also, Charlie has great resources (materials and resources). Last thing, Charlie was a great thought partner when it came to decision making. He explains the pros and cons to a decision and is patient while the customer makes the decision. Great experience. read more

We used Wise Builders to completely remodel our kitchen/laundry rooms, as well as, upgrade our family and dining rooms. The construction team was wonderful. They worked long, hard days, cleaned-up every evening and conducted themselves in a very professional manner. The employees were skilled, did excellent work and made time to keep us fully informed on their daily activity. The head contractor routinely check-in with us to make sure we felt confident on the progress being made. We particularly like Wise Builders' business model of having the design manager, Michele Crawford, being the liaison for the whole project. She is a seasoned designer, an amazing problem solver and we relied heavily on her advise/recommendations for our design selection. The end result of this project exceeded our expectations. We now have a stunning kitchen. And, believe it or not, we are going to miss having them around. We highly recommend this company and their designer. read more

Wise just finished a complete remodel of my kitchen and I couldn't be more pleased! From the very beginning Aaron (our project manager) was there for us every step of the way. Aaron was so helpful to me when picking out the finishes and materials. His advice was invaluable, both for style and price. Jose (our foreman) was very responsive and helpful. The electricians gave me advice that was spot-on. Aaron has been right on when finishing up the little last items. My next project will definitely be with Wise. read more

Working with Wise Builders and Amit My project manager was a great experience! They are professional, honest and accurate! Amit came to my house for a free quote meeting. We really loved his design ideas and his ballpark and moved forward with him. He was always one step ahead of everything. From purchasing all our finish materials on time to bringing us in to discuss which tile layout would we prefer and showing us the progress that we accomplished! Amit was there everyday sending me updated photos and making sure everything went as we planned! Doing a remodel like this during Covid is not an easy task but I was surprised Amit was able to finish everything on time and even with a week delay we were still within our 7-9 weeks estimate. Wise Builders and Amit demonstrated true professionalism! Something so rare during these days. Looking forward to do my next remodeling with them. read more

We contacted wise builders to discuss our bathroom remodeling project. The project manager Aaron Abramov has been very patient, detail-oriented, and highly professional during his visit to our property and our visit to the showroom. The overall process is transparent and every single item and timeline has been printed out and discussed in detail. Additionally, Aaron has his own taste and provides great ideas about the remodeling, which is very inspiring. I would definitely recommend Aaron from wise builders for your next remodel project. read more

Fantastic customer services. I contacted Wise Builder last year and had a really pleasant experience. Charlie is very responsive, professional and caring. It's very hard to find a contractor that actually put customer's interest in the first place. Due to personal reason, I didn't continue the actual work but they will be my first choice for any home project in the future! read more

Wise Builders is perfectly named: they are the wise choice when it comes to contractors. The value we got from choosing them far exceeded my expectations. I have worked with contractors before, and had come to expect that it was status quo to have a somewhat cagey sales-person vibe where they talk in vague terms and end up screwing you in the end. The first time I met Kolby and Nathan, I knew they were the creme of the crop and I am so glad we decided to work with them to renovate our kitchen and bathrooms (master, guest, and power room). Not only were they clear and effective communicators (which is rare in this industry), but they were honest, helpful, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable. It felt as though we had true partners throughout the process- offering us their expertise, advice and insider perspectives. They finished on time and on budget, and made me feel like a priority every step of the way. If you have an opportunity, you should work with Kolby and Nathan... although everyone I know has been asking for their cards so they might be pretty busy for the foreseeable future. read more

Just completely a bathroom remodel with Nathan. Beginning with consultation, Nathan answered all of our questions and requests quickly. He was very organized, provided daily updates and design guidances. In terms of timeline, Nathan/team were exactly on schedule. We were quoted ~5 to 7 weeks and project completely in 6 weeks. We are very happy with the outcome. Quality is great and overall a pleasant experience. We would definitely work with Nathan again on our next home project. read more

"A piece of art" is how we describe our bathroom remodel . Our beautiful remodel was completed on time and the process went very smoothly. Michael Gupol, our amazing project manager along with Mauro and Manuel, the two main construction members for our project helped my husband and I create a beautiful masterpiece! Before the remodel started, Michael met us at the tile and plumbing stores to assist us with our selections and was always available to answer questions. Once the project began, he managed the permit and the 3 required city inspections beautifully ( all passed without any issues), he communicated with us regularly via phone and text and came to our home frequently to answer any questions and share the plan of work for the day and week. Mauro and Manuel always arrived on time and were very respectful, professional and their workmanship was outstanding. We were extremely impressed with their quality of work and attention to detail, especially during the water proofing process and tile installation . We are looking forward to working with Wise Builders in the near future to help us with our kitchen remodel. read more

I got a few estimates before I finally decided on Wise Builders to work on a small-ish living room remodel. They weren't the least expensive but from day one, Kolby, my project manager was super professional and walked us through every step of the project. I knew I would be in good hands, and from the finished results, I'm so glad I went with Wise Builders. Kolby was great to work with, he has a great eye for finishes and most importantly to me, he never pushed us into additional work we weren't comfortable with. For our living room, we decided to re-floor, demolish a wall of built in cabinets, and resurface the fireplace and hearth. Although we had to start the demo while I was out of town, Kolby kept me updated every step of the way, sending photos and making sure we were ok with all the materials. It was a huge relief to know that he was so on top of all the details even when I couldn't be there. Huge props to the crew he works with (Jésus and team)! We are SO excited with our new space. Cant wait for our next remodel! read more

The Wise Builders team knocked our Morgan Hill remodel out of the park. Quick review of Wise's project achievements: 1. 4 month remodel delivered on-time. Scope included shifting shear wall, adding new bathroom, and framing new walls all within existing footprint. 2. Stayed within project budget. Various teams at our home 5 days/wk for full project. 3. Won the project against 3 other contractors we were looking at. They were price competitive and included project management, cabinetry design, and all around input/support with suppliers and different showrooms (bath hardware, tile) to visit. 4. Round the clock communication from general contractor (GC-Daniel) and project manager (Michele). Note: Cannot stress how important clear and timely communication is when working on a project of such scope. 5. Helped review prints before submitting to our local city for approval. 6. Led custom cabinetry design, provided critical experience & input. Project coordinator (Michele) is a wiz with the CAD software used to design cabinetry and we were able to tweak the design on the spot 7. Coordinated with experts from various fields (flooring, paint, countertop, cabinet). 8. Were flexible with minor changes/clarifications along the way. 9. Standby with 2yr warranty of their craftsmanship. Overall we are very happy with the completed work and would highly recommend Wise Builders for home remodel projects. read more

I hired Wise Builders for two projects, one is almost done and the other is in earlier stages. I'm happy with the work I've seen from them so far and have no reason to expect anything less going forward. First I wanted to remodel a powder room and met with several bidders. I felt like Aaron had the best understanding of what I was looking for, and so I chose Wise Builders even though some of the other bids came in cheaper. He's been very helpful in leading me through the steps of selecting tile, ordering fixtures, etc. Early work looks good. Coincidentally before work had even started on the powder room, we had an unrelated water damage accident and urgently needed to rebuild our home office. I reached out to Aaron, and they were able to start my new project immediately. German and his guys did a great job matching the textures and colors to make sure this room still feels like the rest of the house. Final touch-ups are being completed now. read more

I did a whole house renovation in three phases with wise builders and was really happy with how it all tuned out. They turned a late 70s house into a dream home with a beautiful kitchen, flattened walls (bye texture), new bathrooms and a complete overhaul of the owners bedroom with more windows, relocated walls and new electrical and lighting. We couldn't be happier with how the end result turned out. read more

We hired Wise Builders last year to remodel our house - kitchen, floors and all three bathrooms. While other contractors told us it would be 5 - 7 months to complete, it took Wise 2 months to finish; and the quality of work was impeccable. Even before we hired Wise, we felt that they addressed all of our needs and answered all of our questions in detail. There was zero pressure; and they worked completely around our schedule. Nathan and Adam were both a pleasure to work with. They were both very personable and they really know what it takes to remodel a home. They both consistently over-communicated when ever there was an issue or just to let us know status. The process was simple and easy. The work? Amazing. It feels like we are living in a new home. The pictures tell a much better story than I can. If you are considering a remodel, I highly recommend Wise Builders. You'll be glad you did. read more

My boyfriend and I recently bought our first home in the Bay Area so I reached out out to Wise builders to do an extensive full home remodel of my home. I was deciding between a few companies but after they sent out one of their lead project managers Nathan to give us a scope of our vision vs what was realistic given the state of the old home so we knew we had to go with wise builders We loved working with Nathan especially because he listened to our expectations and was super personable. Neither of us have experience in home remodeling but Nathan was able to articulate every step including the best case scenario costs and worst case. Ultimately, he let us decide and was not pushy at all which was so important for us They were a a little pricier than other competitor bids/quotes but I am a big believer in what you pay for is what you get! I got amazing service from day 1 from Nathan and wise builders and the finish result is seriously so amazing. They opened up the kitchen which was so important to me and the made sure the style of house was appropriate for my boyfriend They finished the work about a week off scheduled but I was made aware of this city related delay way ahead of time and he was very communicative and flexible with me and my boyfriends schedule. Thank you wise builders and Nathan especially for making this house a home and for providing your top quality expertise and work!! read more

We hired Wise Builders for a bathroom remodel and were extremely happy with the results. Our project manager, Nestor was amazing! He explained all the steps to us very clearly in the beginning and helped us the material selection. He was always a great communicator during and after the work. We love our new bathroom! I highly recommended Wise Builders. You will get excellent workmanship and communications. read more

Aaron Abramov was the Project Manager on my complete bathroom renovation project. Angel was the Foreman. I think I hit the jackpot on the project manager, foreman, and crew. Time estimate was six weeks on the complete bathroom remodel (no walls moved) and it was just about complete in four weeks, with final County inspection passed in four weeks. Aaron is a superior communicator, and responds quickly to texts or emails. He is in close communication with the foreman who is in close communication with his crew. The designer on the crew was helpful in what goes where and took me shopping to pick out the bathtub, faucets, and most everything. We had just about all components paid for and on site before the project began, and this meant no real hold-ups waiting for components. The crew did their best to protect the carpet (plastic adhesive covering) and each day left a clean job site. The tile setter and tile crew were excellent. When small issues occurred with workmanship, Aaron and Angel took care of them without complaint. The crew were all hardworking, friendly, and respectful people I was very comfortable having in my home. I would feel very comfortable recommending this company and especially Aaron and Angel to friends, and I will hire them again if I do other renovation projects. read more

We just wrapped up our kitchen remodel with Wise Builders and couldn't be happier. Our project manager Nathan was outstanding to work with. We had help selecting the right materials, we were able to set the start date around our schedule, and the actual remodel couldn't have gone more seamlessly. The workers were on time everyday and very polite and understanding of sharing the space with our young family during the construction. They quickly problem solved any issues that came up and communication was excellent. They even finished well ahead of schedule and we couldn't be happier with our new kitchen. We are already considering the next projects with Wise Builders. read more

We were looking for contractors to give us feedback re: an outdoor patio remodeling project and Wise Builders came recommended. It turns out that our project is not within the types of remodeling Wise does, but it's worth mentioning that they were responsive to our initial consultation request and explained their services well. If you are looking to remodel your home interior or add an addition to your home, Wise is worth considering having an initial discussion with. read more

Taking on a remodel was daunting to us, but we knew what we wanted. It was a big deal to us and we wanted it done right. We interviewed a LOT of contractors and after meeting Michele Crawford, we knew who we wanted to work with. From the beginning, she displayed patience, organization, support and understanding. What happened once the construction began really blew our minds. Communication was constant, check-ins were regular and we had a million questions and Michele always responded, and quickly. Not only that, the project was ahead of schedule the entire time! I have multiple friends that are or have just completed remodels and have horror stories. Michele managed our project to completion and we couldn't be more happy with the result! I know who our go-to will be with any future home improvements. read more

We are SO happy that we chose Wise Builders for our kitchen remodel. The work quality and the exceptional service made this experience truly life changing. The project manager, Joseph M, was nothing short of amazing. From the first meeting, Joseph explained the process and estimated the costs with the highest level of expertise. Because of Joseph's support and knowledge, we went into this project, in the middle of COVID, with eyes wide open and very confident. Joseph walked side by side with us through every step of the process and helped us make informed decisions on many levels. And, yes, there were unexpected repair surprises that surfaced; however, this contractor fully disclosed the issues, and with their expert crew handled them well without cutting corners on quality. Joseph prepared us well from the start, and we were able to adjust, as needed, to complete the project with in the projected time line. Thank you Joseph and Wise Builders for helping us realize our dream kitchen and then some. read more

Just completed a 3 months remodel with Wise Builders! I had a great experience with the crew and especially with Amit the project Manager. Amit walked me from the design and material selection to the construction phase itself. Everything was done professionally and Esthetically! I never thought my bathrooms could look like that!

I'm happy I chose Wise Builders Team for my remodel and I definitely recommend it to others! read more

Aaron and his team did a great job completing our bathroom remodel. We ran into a few bumps along the way due to a mold issue with a water leak, but Aaron was very responsive and handled the logistics in a timely manner. This was a difficult project since I work remotely and communication was key. Aaron kept me up to date with photos and videos throughout the project, which made the process so much easier. I would recommend Wise Builders for any project. read more

We hired Wise Builders to repair very poor work by a previous contractor. Unfortunately we ran into another bad contractor in the form of Wise. They have failed to do work properly, straightforward items. For example, they installed windows without proper framing. This company appears to be similar to other ones where many of them are from Israel or similar backgrounds and rent their RMO license. They write reviews for each other and have several reviews that often have the same format, mentioning project manager names even though this company didn't have one on site. I hope that we can save someone else from doing business with this company and signing their terrible contracts. Make sure to have a lawyer review any of their contracts before signing. read more

A Realistic Remodel: Far from the Shiny Falseness of HGTV In a world where home remodeling projects are often viewed through the glossy lens of HGTV, where every renovation is seemingly perfect, and every finished product an absolute dream, our recent home remodel was nothing of the sort. Our primary bathroom and kitchen remodel experience was far removed from the picturesque ease presented on television. It was a tumultuous journey, a genuine roller-coaster ride that brought with it waves of emotions - from frustration and despair to joy and satisfaction. It's a stark reminder that reality television is, indeed, far from reality. The home remodel process is not a magical transformation. It's an intricate, exhaustive process that can test your patience, decision-making skills, and budgeting abilities. Especially if you do not choose the best contractor in the first place. My husband and I were "empty nesters" and had been looking forward to a well-earned retirement in our life long residence in Southern California. That was before my husband accepted a job offer here in Silicon Valley necessitating our quick relocation and the purchase of an older home here. We knew at least a partial remodel would be in order before we planned to move in, so we chose a contractor that seemed a good fit for us as they promised us a miraculous remodel in record time. Fast forward ahead 6 months, having paid thousands of dollars toward "design fees and permits" we found ourselves still living in a high priced rental house with no hint of a start date on our dream remodel from this contractor. We were in fact "ghosted "by them. After finally severed ties with that contractor we contacted Wise Builders. We met with Aaron Abramov. Aaron listened to our story of disappointment and assured us that He would personally take charge of the wayward remodel if we went with Wise Builders. We took Aaron at his word and he was a sturdy pillar of support for us as the project manager, His professional advice helped us navigate unforeseen hurdles. His design aesthetic assisted us in making choices of materials we loved, at a budget we could afford. He helped us weather the unbelievable chaos of living on-site during the entire process from demolition to finish. Wise is a top notch business, the quality of the entire project and their craftsmanship was evident in every aspect of the work they completed, and they were meticulous about ensuring everything was up to our standards and their own high-quality benchmarks. Aarons up front communication with us and his team actually got us to the finish our Primary Bath and Kitchen remodel earlier than projected. Aaron's steadfast commitment to us and our project ensured we received top results and a home we are delighted to "show off" for friends, family and neighbors. If we need future remodeling expertise, our first call will be to Wise Builders and Aaron Abramov. read more

The main reason we chose to go with Wise Builders was our Project Manager, Charlie. He had great communication and was always checking in with us and providing updates. Whenever we had a question he was diligent in responding and presenting us with different options. We sourced quotes from many different general contractors and Wise Builders was the most professional and flexible. We felt like other contractors were trying to up sell us and we did not feel that way at all with Charlie. We are super happy with our walk in closet addition and bathroom remodel and would definitely work with Wise Builders again. read more

I am very pleased with my decision to remodel my kitchen and master bathroom with Wise Builders. I was looking for a contractor who would translate my ideas and rework them to flow with my 1930's Cape Cod. I interviewed a few local contractors and Wise Builders's experience, portfolio and references made me feel confident in my decision to partner with them for this much needed renovation. The work crews showed up as expected, the Project Manager kept close contact and even helped us find a vanity and floor tile I really wanted but couldn't find locally. The best part of working with Wise is the remodel was completed right on time and with amazing craftsmanship. I definitely recommend working with Wise Builders! read more

We recently engaged Wisebuider, Nestor, to work on our front door patio floor. They did our house remodel a year ago. This is the second time to work with Nestor. He measured our patio floor space two weeks before the project started, and advised me how many and what type of tiles might fit. I surprised how accurate of his estimate after the work. My suggestion to other potential customers is rather buy a bit more than what he recommended than buying less. Out of material may delay the process significantly, reordering is such a troublesome task. Although the size of the patio is not that large, ours is 6ft x 39 ft, and it cost 320 24"x24" tiles to cover all. In order to make full cut on each piece of the tile, there will be a lot of debris which cost more pieces of tile. But it is necessary if you want a neat looking. The worker's name is Hector. He is very skillful and detail oriented. It took him and his assistant two and half day to finish all with very clean surface. Hector asked my opinion on the arrangement of the patent before they started the work. He turned my dreamed patio to reality. Our patio is so becoming and decent. The gap between the tiles are very narrow, the they resurfaced the whole patio to be even, so that there will have no worry on the rainy days. We love it dearly. The project went through smoothly, timely, with excellent result. Once again, thank you Wisebuilder Nestor and Hector! I attached a few pictures to show the work. read more

We had a major remodeling of our primary and guest bathroom, walk-in closet, fireplace, and laundry area. We are glad to say we are very happy about the results, now we feel like we live in a luxurious hotel every day! The good thing about working with Wise Builders is that they have plenty of resources, and they have experts in different areas. We asked for a lot of changes and they always try very hard to accomplish them even though some of them were difficult tasks. The project manager and the team are very professional and what's more important is that they are always patient in communication. I want to thank our project manager Roi, and our construction leader Cesar and all the team members, especially Genaro who took good care of the house! We really appreciate their positive attitudes and energies towards work, and we feel very safe to see them working in our house. Not only did they take care of the project professionally, but they also helped with a lot of miscellaneous work such as helping deliver orders from local vendors and meeting with other vendors on making work smoother which we truly appreciate! :) read more

I have a wonderful experience working with Nathan, the project manager, on the 2 month-major renovation project. Wise Builders have comprehensive services on designing, engineering, and decorating. Nathan is very well-organized, polite and knowledgable on the project work, both looks and codes. Be clear on what work are in scope and what are additional scope, which will result in extra charges. The workers nicely complied to rules and regulations of the HOA. There were a proper introduction, design review, and walkthrough on every phrase of the progress, every 1 or 2 weeks on our convenience. The final out come is satisfied as our dream home. Highly recommend if you are looking for a professional company to renovate or rebuild your house. Again, thank you Nathan and team for the great work. read more

It's one thing to come in and be responsive, apologetic when things don't go as expected (even when it's not their fault), communicative, transparent, and treat you with respect. What makes them great is their care. During our remodel we had a death in the family. And because Michele Crawford and team cared for us as people, we received an arrangement offering their condolences. It wasn't expected or necessary. But it shows that they're more than a company who remodels. They're a company who cares about the people they help. Even if it has nothing to do with the remodel. This is why I will always recommend them to anyone who needs work done. Thank you, again, Michele and team. Your amazing and considerate gesture will not be forgotten. read more

Eric Weizman of Wise Builders and his team just did a terrific job installing new Laminate Wood flooring at my house in Los Angeles. I had worked with Eric several years ago on a bathroom remodel and he was the first person I thought of when I decided to get my floors done. I needed to get about 1000 sq ft of new flooring that would go through several rooms replacing a few different kinds of flooring. Eric helped me choose the perfect Laminate that fit into my needs and budget. He was able to get his team on the job almost immediately , from my first phone call to him to the finished job took less then a week ! His crew handled moving furniture and ripping out the old flooring . They did a great job installing the new floor with great care to the smallest details . I love my new floors !!!! Thanks Eric, looking forward to working with you again !! read more

We recently finished a bathroom remodel with Wise Builders and we couldn't be much happier! We worked with Nathan Weizmann as our project manager and Jesus was our foreman. The quality of the work was top-notch, and they did a great job of communicating each step of the way. We had a few hiccups getting everything finished dealing with the city, but Nathan and his crew dealt with it very professionally. We used them for the entire process (from design to buying material to the actual construction), and we were happy with the entire process. My wife and I are pretty opinionated when it comes to style and how we want things to look and be laid out. Nathan understood what we wanted, and was able to make it happen! Then, Jesus was great to work with, being incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the entire process - even lending me his saw when I needed it for an unrelated project around the house. read more

My husband and I recently completed a bathroom remodel in our condo with Kolby and the team at Wise Builders. Kolby was an excellent project manager and easy to communicate with. He took the time to explain every step of the project and helped us create the modern bathroom we were looking for. Although we ran into some issues, Kolby was able to come up with creative, cost-effective solutions and the project was still finished on time. I would definitely work with Wise Builders on our next project and highly recommend their services. read more

So I dreaded starting our master bathroom remodel because I hate a mess and I am terrible at designing. Michele was amazing, she took the stress out of both and willingly allowed my sister to help with all the design. Michele was very responsive and beyond flexible. She didn't get frustrated when I changed my mind or decided to move the closet door opening by another 12 inches after is was already done. She took the stress out of our remodel. The team (led by Daniel) doing the work was great - their work was top notch and any nit pick I had they quickly addressed and encouraged me to ensure I was happy with everything. They were about 1 week late but we did make a change on the closet opening. Overall, Wise was great and I would definitely recommend them. We have received so many compliments, we love it!!! read more
