"I hired B.H. Developers to do concrete demolition and then repouring around our entire house after a foundation repair. Samuel went above and beyond to deliver a product that we absolutely in love with. A beautiful new retaining wall with steps, new steps on the side of the house, driveway, and a path with new steps in the front yard. All with integrated lighting."

"I couldn't be happier with the exterior painting job done by IY Development & Renovation. They not only enhanced the curb appeal of my property but also demonstrated professionalism from start to finish. The team was punctual, efficient, and left the premises spotless. A five-star service that exceeded my expectations!"

"This was our second major project with Primework Construction and we couldnâ t be happier. It was so easy for us, Ben and his team handle everything. They took care of the architect plans, the engineering, permits, facilities for the crew, and clean up. They worked within our budget and completed the project ahead of schedule. They really go out of their way to treat us well. We highly recommend using them for any of your projects, big and small."

"We met with a few companies regarding our kitchen project before we ended up choosing Shai with Cal Green Remodeling. We picked him because of the knowledge he had and confidence he gaves us. He provided us with great ideas and a detailed estimate and timeline of what we could expect. His price was not very different than the others, however, his presentation was. Some of the other companies missed the mark on the details, which for us was very important considering this project was not cheap. Shai, had an answer to all of our questions and he offered us realistic expectations. Upon completion of our kitchen, we must say, we are super pleased with the results. We especially love the new island we added. Everything came out well and clean. The workers were efficient and kept the area clean during the renovation process. Shai was also readily available if we had any questions. I only wished we have used him for our bathroom remodeling project last year. Iâ m sure we will be using them again in the future!"

"Great communication, very professional and I feel I received excellent advice on how to deal with the hillside that was pushing against the fence, voila I now have a concrete retaining wall to guard against the natural movement of the earth in addition to a beautifully crafted redwood fence. The new gate reflects a true craftsman. Ron George got the job done ahead of schedule too! I would highly recommend Babylon Gardens."

"My initial bathroom remodel project turned into a larger than expected project, with major plumbing issues with the main line, which had to be completely replaced. Also my electrical, insulation also needed replacement. All said, the project took longer than initially planned, but Palm, took care of everything. Now I feel safe and secure in my home and have Palm to thank for that. The operations manager was in contact with me almost daily, and always responded to my questions immediately. Will definitely use them again for future projects."

HomeAdvisor makes it easy to connect with pros near you. You can read reviews, get quotes and book appointments all in one place.
Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.
