Bathroom remodel
Si L.

Recommended by former owner of the house, we lived in their work and knew Robert and his crew does top quality work. We got our guest bathroom remodeled, demoed the walls and replaced the tile. Could not be more happy with the work! Robert was on top of schedule and kindly helped us first timer figure out what we needed to get. Worked with us on scheduling and was flexible with our needs. Quality: 5/5 Value: 5/5

Very good experience with concrete remove and repour, they did the quick job and great quality. 10 out of 10!

Service Requested: Ensuite Bathroom Remodeling with Sub-floor replacement Quality: 5/5 Value: 5/5 We were introduced to Robert and his team through our trusted plumber since he did jobs for Robert as well. Robert and crew came over, inspected the damages and gave us a price to fix and remodel the bathroom. He gave us options to help us decide if we want to just fix and remodel the wet area or go for the whole nine yards. The pricing and timing were reasonable and we didn't bother haggling as it fit our expectations and budget. As the work began, Robert and crew made sure everything is taken care of as well as covering up the bedroom area, adding an opening in the dust covering and taking care of smaller things that usually get overlooked. As the work moved forward, he spotted a few things that should have been fixed and helped us with the details on those fixes. He helped us with his discount accounts at various stores and guided us since we were doing it for the first time. All in all, exceptional work and I've already told him about remodeling our guest bathroom next year.

Bathroom 1

We began working with Robert even before our plans were approved by the city, and that early involvement made a huge difference in the success of our full home remodel. Although we already had an architect, Robert suggested going with a coffered ceiling instead of a vaulted ceiling and that turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for the house. Robert is extremely thorough and his attention to detail is outstanding. He thinks through every aspect of the project and offers thoughtful recommendations that truly elevate the final result. Just as importantly, his entire team is amazing to work with professional, responsive, and clearly skilled at what they do. Our project was a major renovation of a 4-bed, 3-bath home, including the addition of a new bathroom and extensive structural work. Almost every wall in the house was touched, yet the process was well managed from start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Robert and his team to anyone considering a full home remodel or major renovation.

Thanks Robert and his team for successfully and smoothly completely our bathroom remodel! We had a major water leak from this bathroom and everything needs to be demo and rebuilt. Robert and his team was able to efficiently come for an estimate and start the project, they were also to work flexible hours to accommodate our schedule. The bathroom turns out to be amazing and we have been looking to create a relaxing spa like vibe and his team was able to deliver it. Haven't started using this bathroom yet, will add more comments by then!

Kitchen

I contacted Robert through yelp after reading the reviews (even though there was only about 14) . I decided to go with him after talking to him. True to all the reviews my house renovation completed very nicely. I have no regrets hiring Robert to work in my house. Robert and his team worked really well and all his guys were very reliable. Robert and his team did an amazing job of remodeling my house. We had to tear down pretty much the whole house and he completed the work beautifully. They cleaned up the place every day and once complete there was absolutely no mess. We did painting, flooring, bathroom, kitchen, electrical upgrade, fireplace upgrade, recessed lighting. Robert was very approachable at all times. He promptly returned calls and was always in contact. He gave valuable suggestions whenever needed. We were able to pass inspection very easily.

Soon after closing our home, we started looking for a contractor that could remodel our entire kitchen ( thereby creating an open floor plan ), remodel the outdated master bathroom and do other renovation work in our house. We were lucky to find Robert who was super accommodating to our many requests. Unlike the other contractors we met, he didn't push us to do anything more than what we wanted. His prices are extremely budget friendly without any hidden costs. This was our first remodel and he guided me and my husband throughout the journey with great, cost-effective advice. His team was punctual, experienced and were very helpful in listening to our ever growing requests. Their workmanship is top notch and the end result is fantastic. We did many small things throughout the process like recess lighting, plumbing and electrical work etc and were very impressed with their work. We're looking forward to doing more home renovations with Robert and team! 10/10 recommend his team for all your home renovation needs.

Here's the result of our updated kitchen!

Robert and his crew did an excellent kitchen update project for us. His team works quickly and efficiently. Each of his crews are masters at their craft. They are extremely respectful and always clean up after each day. Here's the timeline of our kitchen update: I received my quote from Robert on a Thursday, the team started demo on the Saturday and were already done by Tuesday! I couldn't ask for much more! The quote for our project was very competitive with other quotes I received. I'm very happy with our decision to go with Your Dream Home. Thanks, Robert. We love our new kitchen.

Robert and his team created my dream bathroom and kitchen. I have worked with Robert on two remodel projects (kitchen and now my master bathroom) and he has always provided the highest quality results at a reasonable price. I can trust Robert with handling the process from start to finish. His workers always show up on time (exactly as scheduled) and he is right there as well, ensuring the process goes smoothly. Robert will work with you to make sure all your requests are accounted for, even things that come up after the project has started. His team did the tear down, demo, window close in, tile, plumbing and electrical for my full bathroom remodel. They worked through various complex plumbing, electrical, and tiling requirements that I had. I couldn't be happier with the results - I now have a spa bathroom and chef kitchen! Thanks!!

I hired Robert to do a bathroom remodel I needed. This had to be done a quickly as possible given we had a 1 bathroom home. Robert and his crew got started quickly. He kept me apprised of all the progress. He was very good at keeping me up to date on his work schedule. I am a handyman so I watched him closely. I asked him if the would be supporting the tub with concrete and they did. His tile person is fantastic. I asked Robert if he could custom cut some time for a baseboard. They did and included nice looking metal edging. Robert and his crew did pretty much everything. demo, sub floor install, plumbing, electrical, tile, painting, etc. Whether your needs are a custom kitchen, bathroom, or any home renovation, give Robert a call.

I would highly recommend Robert Torres to anybody looking for a general contractor. He is by far one of the best contractors I have hired. As a general contractor he is very knowledgeable. He did great work with our kitchen and many other projects around our house. Robert listens to the needs of his clients, provides the best advice, and his prices are fair. In addition to being a good contractor he is reliable and honest. Robert takes pride in his work and it shows. Anybody looking for a contractor should check out Robert Torres and give him a chance. You will be happy you did.

My husband and I began a renovation of my mother's 1954 bungalow in December 2022. Initially we thought it might be a fun learning experience to be the general contractor and hire out subcontractors we vetted and received reasonable quotes from. It soon became apparent that some of our "licensed" contractors had no idea of the local building codes and others were impacting our schedule by not showing up for weeks at a time. It was pretty lucky for us at that time that we hired Robert of Your Dream Home to do some framing for us. When Robert quoted us the work it was in our price range, he promised it would start and be finished all within a weekend. He had no problems with working with us and the City building inspector. His crew came in the date and time he promised to be there, and the work was done in two days. When the inspector came to sign-off of Robert's work on Monday there was one issue he wanted addressed - I called Robert and he had his worker out that afternoon to address the inspector's issue. The next inspection passed. Impressed with his work, I decided to have him finish off the entire project. He gave me a competitive bid and told me he could have the house done by the end of summer (I think it was the beginning of summer at this point). His professionals had to fix many issues that the previous plumbers and electricians had bungled. For instance, the original plumbers were told that the toilets I ordered were in my garage so they could measure the setback needed for drainage, they failed to do so. Robert's plumber had to redo the drains for the baths and toilets. When the City inspector came out to pass the rough plumbing he took me aside and said, "I'm glad you finally have a plumber who knows what they're doing." Robert's plumber also had to extend the gas line in the kitchen which the first plumber had measured incorrectly. The initial electricians I hired did things like place the stove vent outlet too close to metal vent, which would cause the circuit to shut off. Robert's crew was there on a Sunday evening trouble shooting and fixed the issue that evening because Robert had promised my kitchen would be functional by Monday and pass a scheduled inspection. I just can't speak highly enough of Robert and crew, he's true to his word, profession, courteous, and communicates effectively. By the end of the project I felt like he was my brother I could trust him that much. After the end of the interior work on the house Robert helped me hire a roofer to fix the leaking flat roof. I wanted to replace the integrated drains with a gutter system. Again, this roofing crew worked with me, the City inspector, and did absolutely beautiful work. They even showed up at my mom's house on Thanksgiving morning to get the work done before the weather got bad. Your Dream Home is going to be my go-to professional for any work going forward.

Horace Mann, Downtown

Change is very difficult. It's also costly. And scary even. This company took the sting out of…read moreit. They aren't the cheapest out there, but once you see the work they do, it's almost a bargain. I did my research and wanted to find something in the middle- quality without excess. I found these guys. My project manager, Elijah was a total professional and also happens to be a real nice human being. His crew is even better (sorry, Eli). They listened and wanted my input. I grew to trust them quickly and started asking for their opinions about various things along the way to help me decide what to do. As stressful at it is to have people in your house everyday making lots of noise for weeks, I'm actually going to miss these guys. I will definitely hire them in future. I already have new projects in mind, and once the money is there, I'll pick up the phone and get to see my new friends again.

We contracted Prime Design & Build to remodel two bathrooms, a laundry room, a staircase, and to…read moreinstall hardwood flooring. Overall, the project went well, and we're happy with the final results. Bryan, our foreman, was a strong asset to the project. Even though he was managing multiple jobs at the same time, his responsiveness and willingness to go out of his way to address our concerns made a big difference. Because we were home throughout the process, we were able to catch issues early and communicate them directly to Bryan, who consistently followed through to resolve them. What Went Well: * The tile and flooring subcontractors were excellent - their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stood out. * Bryan, our foreman, was responsive to texts and phone calls, listened to our concerns, and made sure they were addressed. He even designed a bi-fold closet door for us, and helped pick up all the material to build it. * Bryan also took the initiative to handle several unfinished items himself, which we really appreciated. * The post-build cleaners were top-notch and left the space in pristine condition. * Throughout the project, everyone we interacted with was professional, courteous, and conscientious. There were no conflicts or issues, which made the experience comfortable for us. Areas for Improvement: * The timeline was a pain point. While we were originally told the project would take 6-8 weeks, it ended up stretching to 12 weeks. * The design process fell short of expectations. Because Prime's in-house designers weren't available, our design work was outsourced. We only received a full design package for the master bathroom. As a result, we ended up creating our own renderings for the other rooms to help communicate our vision to the team. That said, we were very happy with the design and material selections for the master bathroom they did complete. We just wish the same level of attention and design support had been provided for the rest of the project. * At times, resource availability was limited, likely due to workers being assigned to multiple jobs. This led to workflow inefficiencies and delays. Toward the end of our renovation, our foreman Bryan had to personally step in to complete several tasks, such as installing faucets, shelving, and baseboards. He managed to get it done in between site visits and meetings, which we appreciated, but it also highlighted a lack of available crew to close out the project. Despite these few challenges, the quality of the work met our expectations. We appreciated the team's effort and the final outcome.

If you are looking for the absolute best price and a contractor who is genuinely easy to talk to, Jay is your guy. He is very agreeable and was always willing to negotiate and perform reworks until I was satisfied with the result. That said, if your project is on the more complicated side like mine was, you should be prepared to take an active role in project management. The timelines did extend significantly beyond the original estimates, and I had to stay on top of the subcontractors to ensure the craftsmanship met my standards. It wasn't a hands-off experience, but because he is such an honest person to deal with and his pricing is so competitive, we got both projects to the finish line. A strong pick for those on a budget who don't mind being involved in the details. After working with many contractors in the Bay Area, I've found that the alternative is usually someone charging much more who promises a turnkey experience but can't guarantee it either. Knowing that tradeoff, I would hire Jay again - and already have.

A huge thank you to our project manager, Allen, who did an amazing job keeping everything organized and running smoothly. The entire crew was a pleasure to work with--a special shoutout to Johan (their master plumber and electrician) and his brother for their outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail. Like most major remodels, there were a few unexpected delays along the way, but almost all of them were completely out of their control. What impressed me most was their dedication: the team worked tirelessly, including weekends, to make up for lost time and keep us on schedule. We were also thrilled with their designer, Emanuele, who was incredible to work with. He helped guide us through color schemes and design choices, and his vision really brought the spaces to life. On top of the bathrooms, we decided last-minute to have them replace the cracking tile in our entranceway. They knocked it out incredibly fast, and they did a great job containing dust and keeping the work areas clean throughout the process. I highly recommend Wise Builders to anyone looking for quality work, clear communication, and a hardworking team. Thank you, Wise Builders!

They are honest, forthcoming, and patient, and their communication was fantastic throughout the entire project as they worked diligently to keep everything on track. Of course, with a full home remodel there are always unforeseen problems. When we hit a major delay due to the HVAC subcontractor, Aaron and Alex worked incredibly hard to resolve the issues and advocate for us. Even though those HVAC problems cost us about six weeks, the overall project still came in right on schedule. Our kitchen designer, Michele, was fantastic and brought our vision to life perfectly, and the bathrooms were designed beautifully as well. The crew--Angel, Asher, Enrique, and Donato--were professional, hard-working, and a pleasure to have in our home. We are thrilled with the results and highly recommend Wise Builders for their full-service approach and excellent problem-solving.

The communication, timeliness, and finish quality was just not there with our project…read more I'm not sure if this is because of a deficiency in project management, or because of the poor contracting. From the beginning, we were never given a good sense of timeline and when parts of the project were to be completed. Contractors would not show up on days when we were told they would come, and they would randomly show up on days where we were not given any warning and we had to be at work. The contractors that came to spray texture on the walls showed up at 7pm on a Friday night. We felt bad they had traveled so far and so late, but amazed that nobody had thought to communicate their arrival to us. Because the contractors would show up at random times and complete random parts of the project, we were always being forced to rush order parts that we didn't have on hand. This included a dishwasher air gap, a garbage disposal, and the cabinet handles. As professionals, why wouldn't they have a list of required finishes for all their customers? There were also just other instances of poor management. They miscalculated how much slab we needed, so they charged us extra for that as well. The handles on the cabinets were badly misaligned, and looked like nobody had measured the distances to the edges of the cabinets. We had to ask for this to be fixed. There was a missing finished edge on the cabinet end by the dishwasher, which we also had to ask to be fixed. We had to ask for so many basic things like having our window screen reinstalled and the window lock reattached 2 weeks AFTER the final inspection passed. If the final inspection is done already, there's no more excuses for delays in finishing a project. There was no final walkthrough once everything was done. We just noticed that one of the cabinet faces has a huge scratched up area where it looks like someone colored it in with a crayon. Shouldn't this sort of damage be disclosed to your customer without us having to scrutinize? In conclusion, if you look at the work from a distance, it's up to code and done fine. The whole experience has been so dragged out, however, that at this point we can't even be bothered with calling out the weird crayon thing.
