"I'm so happy that I found David at CA Cabinets! He was here checking on the work daily to make sure everything ran smoothly which is rare for a contractor as usually they just come a few times during the process. Everything is beautiful and he went to extra mile to shop with me for the flooring tiles, quartz countertops, cabinets and sink. I'm super picky as an artist / former fashion designer and he was able to help me create exactly what I had designed. He had great ideas such as adding a waterfall edge to the quartz countertop and a window sill piece from quartz as well. This project was a complete gut and rebuild due to a dishwasher leak - homeowner's insurance claim. I was having issues with my insurance and David went above and beyond to help me navigate the insurance issues so we could complete the project. He is always very prompt and organized. Some of the other contractors that I had previously contacted could not even be bothered to give me a call back or show up on time to a scheduled appointment but David was able to meet with me right away and always notified me of the work schedules. Pricing was reasonable and in line with other estimates I received."

"They did a beautiful job. They even had to cut around a number of decorative rocks. When we were restricted to watering twice a week outdoors my backyard lawn died within two weeks—-it gets full sun. I was nervous about artificial turf because I didn’t know anyone who had it, but the guarantee on the high quality material is very good. There is a lot of labor required to get the ground ready for the artificial turf. Hye Turf Designs has great people. Ask for Hutch——he is the co-ownerof the company."

"Our backyard has multiple, disconnected garden zones, so we chose to use a flagstone patio and walkway system to connect the zones, seating areas, and planting beds. They designed the layout to maintain smooth transitions and even elevation for proper drainage. The patio covers roughly 1,150 square feet, including connecting pathways. Mortar joints were kept to a minimum to preserve a natural look. We appreciate this multi-zone patio as it has improved our movement around and visually ties different garden areas together."

"Excellent architectural design service. Franco and his team help guide you and educate you as to the permit process. The design for my ADU turned out great. The 3D rendition was awesome. You get great service at a reasonable price."

"Mariah is a great professional and also fun to work with. Her love and enthusiasm for design and decorating is infectious. She is so customer friendly, always responsive and continuously thinking about my needs and lifestyle as she helps to bring color and warmth to our living room/dining room."

"Ramy and his team did a meticulous, fast job replacing the mismatched and beaten up baseboards in our house. Very friendly, communicative, and flexible around our availability. Would definitely hire them again."

"I hired this landscape designer to transform my backyard, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The designer was professional, creative, and attentive to my needs throughout the entire process. The end result was stunning and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!"

"Mr. Perez and his crew did an excellent job. The price was fair and the work was done efficiently and in a timely manner. Mr. Perez is a highly skilled landscaper. I give him the highest level of recommendation without reservation."

"Wonderful, honest, reliable, fair and professional company! they just finished remodel my bathroom and the results are beyond my expectations. Eran was our main guy. He was the one that came over, designed the bathroom, managed the orders and people and made sure that the work will be complete on time and within our budget. We are grateful that he was the one that we hired and we highly recommend him and his people to anyone who is interesting in any remodeling project."

"We recently worked with Encore Builders on a stunning backyard project that included a new rectangular pool, a sleek fire pit, and a custom barbecue area. The entire design feels like something straight out of a luxury boutique hotel. From the initial 3D design to the final touches, Encore Builders crafted an elegant and functional space that we couldnâ t be happier with. From the start, we envisioned a chic, modern look for our outdoor space, and Encore Builders nailed it with the clean, sophisticated design. Brandon and oz immediately understood my vision and I could tell they were strand up guys. I shopped around but it was a no brainer the second I met them. We instantly hit it off and I could tell they were knowledgeable. I saw their other jobs and was impressed right away. I showed them some inspo pics of what I wanted. Eventually, both the pool and fire pit were designed with sharp, rectangular shapes that give the space a sleek, upscale vibe. The straight lines of the pool and fire pit complement each other beautifully, creating a sense of balance and cohesion that ties the entire backyard together. The choice of materials and the high-end finishes truly make it feel like weâ re stepping into a private boutique resort every time we go outside. Every part of this project was carefully crafted- even the firepit. Positioned near the pool, it mirrors the chic simplicity of the poolâ s design, creating a sense of harmony across the space. The sleek, linear fire pit is made with modern stone materials that give it a luxurious feel while remaining durable and weather-resistant. The upscale design of the fire pit, with its clean lines and contemporary look, makes it the perfect centerpiece for evening gatherings. The 3D Design Process: A Vision Realized Encore Buildersâ 3D design process was a crucial part of the project. Being able to visualize how the pool, fire pit, and seating area would look together in a cohesive design allowed us to make informed decisions. It was during this phase that we finalized the size and placement of the rectangular fire pit in relation to the pool, ensuring the two elements worked together harmoniously. Seeing the 3D model helped us feel confident in our choices, especially with the bench design, where we could visualize how the warm wood would complement the sleek stone materials. The final result is exactly what we saw in the 3D design â and even more beautiful in person In addition to the pool and fire pit, Encore Builders created a custom barbecue area that matches the chic aesthetic of the rest of the space. The built-in grill, spacious countertops, and storage make it not only a stylish feature but also incredibly functional for hosting gatherings. As a couple that loves to host this was crucial For us! Encore Builders turned our backyard into a chic, upscale retreat that rivals the look and feel of a boutique hotel. If youâ re looking for a team that can deliver a modern, luxurious outdoor living space with precision and style, Encore Builders is the way to go. We are absolutely in love with the final result and look forward to enjoying our backyard for years to come! Oz and Brandon and the guys at Encore are truly unbeatable!"
