RIJI Home Improvements & Handywork

We recently completed a home extension with Joe and his team, and I still can not believe how smooth everything went. Communication was always clear, timelines were respected, and the quality of work speaks for itself. Deivis and Sergio were incredibly dedicated, often going above and beyond what we expected. The finished space blends perfectly with the rest of our home. It is rare to find a team this reliable and skilled. I would not think twice about hiring them again.

I have worked with contractors before, but this experience was on a completely different level. Joe is honest, straightforward, and truly cares about customer satisfaction. His team?Sergio, Rich, Deivis, and Juan?are all skilled professionals who take pride in their work. They remodeled our kitchen and the attention to detail was just incredible. They didnot rush anything, and it shows in the final result. It is rare to feel this confident recommending a company, but they absolutely earned it.

spent 1 $10,000 on a Basement apt and had pay another contractor $9,800 to reduce all the work RIJI completed .

The transformation of our condo's kitchen and two bathrooms has been such a dramatic improvement thanks to all the hard work the folks from Riji Home Improvements put in last year. It has been about 9 or 10 months now since the work was completed, and we still remark on a regular basis how much better and nicer our kitchen is to use now that it is no longer separated from the dining area by an old wall, not to mention now that we have nice new floors / cabinets / everything else. The bathrooms have been such a huge upgrade as well from the old fiberglass all-in-one stall and beat up fixtures that were there previously. We live in a small space, but we were even able to fit a soaking tub in our relatively tight master bathroom. I can fully recommend these guys to handle your project-- they are responsive and made sure all the work got done the right way.

Joe is building our forever dream home, so already, you must understand that we trust and respect this man more than the average person. If you are on the fence about working with this company, I’d give you my phone number because, quite honestly, we can go on and on about how happy we are that we chose RIJI Home improvements over the 5 other construction companies that we interviewed in 2023. This is the largest project that me or my husband have ever been a part of. We bought a ranch style home in May 2023. We worked with an architect and did our research on every aspect of building a home. Joe was the perfect compliment to our style and work ethic. Joe’s strengths include his professionalism, his honestly, his communication skills, his willingness to explain things that we are not familiar with, his ability to provide solution based support when things are out of our control and don’t go as planned, and his time management.

I called RIJI Home improvements for an estimate to completely redo my kitchen. David came to review our project and was able to provide us with a fair estimate for the labor and ady worked with me on the design and selecting finished material for our kitchen it was a real pleasure to work with an experience company and I am extremely happy with the final product (I will attach after pictures ) The working crew were very nice & respectable the guys came on time every morning, and made sure to clean up the working areas daily . I am pleased & very happy with my decision. I will be using RIJI Home improvements again for more work that needs to be done in my home. It feels good to finally find a good firm that isn't about doing a fast cheap job, just to suck money out of you. They really do appreciate the business, and it shows in the quality of work.

I enlisted the services of RIJI Home Improvements for our apartment bathroom renovation project. Negotiating the intricacies of a co-op building added layers of complexity, but Joe and the team navigated through the paperwork seamlessly. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and they completed the project within the estimated timeframe of 5 weeks. Communication was stellar throughout the process; Max provided clear updates on the project's progress and promptly addressed any inquiries I had. Shevy was instrumental in managing the financial aspects, and David demonstrated professionalism and effective communication. While the cost was on the higher side, the end result surpassed our expectations, leaving us thoroughly satisfied with the outcome.

I am so pleased with RIJI Home improvements work done on my two story addition. RIJI Home improvements was highly recommended and Joe the owner came through. I was ready to upgrade my home and with Joe’s professionalism, patience, expertise and his team I was able to realize my vision. Joe is honest and does not cut corners. Moreover he is sticking to his timeline and oversees a project from start to finish. His daily updates on work being done made me feel at ease. Thank you again for coming through and completing on time. I will be definitely recommending.

RIJI Home improvements completed my den and backyard deck project in Spring 2023, having worked on an extensive home remodeling (kitchen, 3 baths, staircase) a few years back. Both projects were completed on time. The best part of working with Joe is his insight and collaboration during the design phase and also to make changes during the project build phase. He is professional and trustworthy. On both my jobs, his on-site project leader, was a pleasure to deal with on day-to-day matters, and handled any matters including the sub-contractors. I would not hesitate to use RIJI Home improvements on my next home project.

RIJI Home improvements did a wonderful job designing and renovating. I am very pleased with my kitchen and basement. Joe was very professional from start to finish. He guided me step by step, explaining details and answering questions and concerns I had. What I liked the most was his honesty and attention to detail. His professional expertise in construction was especially helpful when what seemed like a great idea to me wasn't a great idea at all. Joe was able to explain what would work better without compromising the design. My bathroom is next!

I have lots of experience working with contractors both personally and professionally and RIJI Home Improvements has exceeded all my expectations. They are responsive and diligent throughout every stage of the process. Joe has been a pleasure and makes sure every piece of the puzzle is solved correctly. I'm using them for a 3 unit rental property but I would count on them to renovate my home any day. 5/5 would recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of working with RIJI Home improvements on a second story addition to my home, and I must say, the experience was exceptional. From start to finish, the team at RIJI Home improvements demonstrated a level of professionalism, skill, and attention to detail that exceeded my expectations. Joe, the owner of the company, was involved in every aspect of the project, from the initial consultation to the final walk-through. He listened carefully to my vision for the project and provided insightful recommendations that helped me make informed decisions about the design and scope of work. Raul, the foreman on the project, was also a pleasure to work with. He and his team arrived promptly each day and worked tirelessly to ensure that the project was completed on time and within budget. Raul was always available to answer any questions I had and kept me informed about the progress of the project throughout. The quality of the work done by Broth er and Brother Builders is truly outstanding. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of the project, from the framing and roofing to the interior finishes. The finished product is even better than I could have imagined. Overall, I would highly recommend RIJI Home improvements to anyone in need of quality construction services. Joe and Raul are a fantastic team, and their dedication to their craft and their clients is evident in everything they do. Thank you, RIJI Home improvements, for a job well done!

We hired RIJI Home improvements and Handywork to take over a bathroom remodel that we started with another contractor. We worked with another company and things did not work out as planned. We decided to stop construction in the middle of the process and find a different company to work with. A friend of ours recommended RIJI. Their bid was higher than what we originally received from the other contractor which explained why the service that they offered was so bad. RIJI Home improvements and Handywork took care of pulling permits and making sure that everything was up to code. Having a team who not only showed up to work but also on time was very refreshing. The customer service was excellent, and their work is beautiful and very detailed. We had a very good experience with RIJI Home improvements and Handywork.

We are very happy with our choice to hire this RIJI Home improvements and Handywork for our bathroom renovation. They were professional, honest and reliable.

The customer service was excellent and the standard of work is high. The bathroom looks beautiful.

So far so good, working with Alex has been amazing! This is our forever home in Lafayette, California, so this is so important to us. Rafael's main builder, Alex is doing a great job. Alex is talented knows what he is doing and does a perfect job. There have been delays due to some plan changes and getting permits modified. My hope is that we end on a good note and both sides, the contractor and us the homeowner are satisfied. As in any big project, good communication and keeping your word and honesty is critical. We have worked with other contractors on two other big projects and always had good results and very satisfactory out come for both sides. We hope for the same here.

Very professional, excellent job remodeling my kitchen. I would recommend this service.
