Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Atherton, CA

"I debated leaving a review for the past two years as Avi, the general contractor, was a nice guy and I believe means well, but in since the remodel of two bathrooms and a kitchen, quite a bit of the work from his company has proven to either fall apart, be of poor workmanship, or simply be installed or built incorrectly. There are so many things that were done wrong, it would take forever to list, so I will mention the top few. I have plenty of pictures to illustrate the details but am not being given the link to upload them on here, for some reason I found Bay Remodeling Kitchen and Bath by reading several online reviews and when I called the company, the owner, Avi, did arrive at my home promptly and gave a very professional presentation complete with previous work, which seemed of high quality. I felt immediately comfortable entrusting him with the remodel of ONE bathrooms and a kitchen of a home I recently purchased as my primary residence. I was excited as my son had just been born and the house was to be our ‘forever home’. Day 1: I went to the house to find his demolition crew was busy demolishing....the wrong bathroom. They had gotten so far into the work it was past the point of ‘no return’. To his credit, Avi did immediately contact me and apologize. Because that bathroom was intended to EVENTUALLY be remodeled, we worked out a fair price to include it in the overall remodel. Problem solved? Unfortunately, no. Weeks on: Both bathrooms were completed and I was happy with the result. Then the kitchen. Demolition went smoothly, new wiring, plumbing and flooring were installed and the cabinets were next. I drove to the house to find....the brand new refrigerator had been STOLEN. I called Avi, who was out of town, then the police to file a report. When Avi’s foreman showed up, he expressed his suspicion the cabinet installers may have stolen it. I didn’t point fingers and patiently waited for the police to complete their investigation. Nothing came of it as it was a ‘...his word against theirs’ type of situation. I ultimately filed an insurance claim, paid the deductible and moved on. Admittedly, there is no way I can prove Avi’s guys had anything to do with it. Two days later: cabinets installed and most of the hardware had been drilled into brand new drawers and doors crooked. Pictures included with a level for reference. I was met with immediate resistance from Avi and his foreman stating, ‘...it isn’t that bad...’. Maybe not. The readers on this review can decide.After completion: 3 electrical outlets on the walls opposite the kitchen are without power. Avi shows up with his foreman and their response: ‘...we don’t even know these outlets ever had power even before the remodel...’. True, but what are the odds? Two years on: I finally notice the stoppers for the all of the drains in the bathrooms were never installed. I rarely use the bathroom sinks for more than brushing my teeth, so I don’t need to fill a sink with water but my wife recently discovered this when washing something. As a coincidence, I recently found these tucked in a corner of the garage. If the actual pop-up drains are still in boxes, I have no idea what is actually installed in the sinks. Little details I recently noticed: the ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ water positions on all the kitchen sinks are inconsistent, cabinet doors are uneven, floor moulding in more concealed locations never installed, etches can be seen in the ceiling where recess lighting had been misaligned, leaving the initial partial cuts in the ceiling in view. These problems were brought up later to Avi but at the time he was still searching for a construction team to work with as he apparently moves from one team to the next. Reading these reviews, I see he occasionally finds a good crew to work with, but a note to future customers: Avi and many general contractors subcontract with myriad plumbers, electricians, tile workers, etc. If he has a few bad subcontractors, you result might be similar. Good workers will likely produce a good result. Buyer beware... Updated 5/17/24 Addendum: Avi recently reached out regarding the quality of the previous project and said he now has a good, reliable, meticulous crew that he trusts. I took the risk, but let them back into the house. They were, indeed, a good, quality crew and fixed the as many of the mistakes and shortcuts the previous crew made and took. I am very happy with the outcome. As my earlier review stated, Avi is a good, honest guy but the quality of the work being done will 100% depend on the crew hired. Thank you for following up, Avi. -Chris"

"RandB Master Construction handled our bathroom renovation in Sunnyvale. They used quality waterproofing, tile and fixtures, and they coordinated plumbing and final inspections. The finished bathroom feels modern and luxurious, and the project covered 85 sq. ft. primary bathroom. The job kept moving without unnecessary delays. The process felt organized, and the team was easy to work with from beginning to end. Everything came together beautifully, and we would gladly recommend their crew."

"Working with Kris & Aaron is a true pleasure, which is unusual when working with contractors. They are lovely men who are honest and trustworthy and who also take huge pride in doing things correctly. No cutting corners or cheap stuff for them. They have done things like replace my skylight, build fences, add electrical lights/outlets/etc. I would trust them with anything. Because they are also excellent landscapers, they actually know plants and landscaping and have done wonderful things with my gardens. Thank you Kris & Aaron!"

"Throughout our project, their general construction services were consistently professional and reliable. They managed every detail flawlessly, ensuring a smooth and efficient process from start to finish."

"It's difficult to trust contractors these days. We had a bad experience in the past with another contractor and we were very hesitant to use one again. However, we decided to give Tech Line Construction a chance because our friend recommended them. We are so glad that we did! They painted the exterior of our house and handled a bigger project for our property. I admire how Luis always kept us in the loop and he was always available to answer our questions. We'll pass the word to our friends and family about this company. They're the real deal!"

"Lindgren Construction is the best. I hope to work with Eric again. 
I own a rental property in Hollister with a long triangular yard with public access on both sides. 
I wanted a tall redwood fence around the side and back perimeter of the property: a total of over 370
linear feet. I am staying in Arizona and needed to hire a contractor site unseen.. 
I made contact with Eric and we communicated regularly via telephone and text. In all his dealings
with me he was clear and respectful. 
The existing fence had to be removed.
It was a mix of old railroad ties, horse wire, and ancient redwood. Against the back fence was overgrown weeds and
possibly some trash that would need removal. Yucca plants grew on the back fence and would need cutting before the
new fence could be installed.  County approval would be needed.
Eric gave me a quote, which was too high. He then redesigned the fence to 5' to lower the cost.
The job was begun and finished within four days of receiving my down payment. 
There were some adjustments along the way..I asked to have it stained. He used a very good quality
light redwood stain. We had some huge Yucca trees in our driveway encroaching on the neighbor's garage.
Eric offered to remove it for me, and did so on the last day of the job. . In all things
it was easy to work with Eric. He clearly went out of his way to do the best possible job. My renters
report his workers where great people to be around. 
The finished product is beautiful. It shows excellent craftsmanship and good esthetic sense.
 I have only given him four stars on price because it was a lot for me. I did no price comparison.
I can tell you it was well worth the expense. My property is much enhanced?way more than I expected
when we started. It's beautiful! Eric is a great guy who will go out of his way to do a great job.

"Ray is always wlling to spend time before and throughout the job to discuss possible methods, details, changes, scheduling, and costs of the job. Easy to talk with. Finishes all work. I started with Ray on my home's front repair, and have used his services since then. Currently, he is repairing my kitchen floor. I feel his costs continue to be very reasonable."

"I worked with Roey and Clever Design and Remodelings exceptionals crew twice over the last year. On a full bathroom remodel (tear down to the studs and completely built a new) and the creation of a third bedroom in my house. I had not worked with many contractors before, and Roey was eager to answer any and all questions I had and offered the guidance and expertise necessary to bring the ideas we had for our home to life. Their architect came to the house, took measurements, and we approved the design. They all did a FANTASTIC job. - From the garden window to the tile, countertops, removed the carpet from the bathroom and living room, and installed a new beautiful laminate wood floor. The team was timely and trustworthy (which is a huge deal when letting someone into your home), and they were extremely pliable when we wanted to make a few adjustments mid-project. I am very pleased with the result and I will recommend this company to everyone. Thank you, Clever Design!"

"This was an usual project. It was redoing a mini bar. Hard to find a contractor that would do it or had the time. Homepro was great lead by project manager Shir Hadad. Jumped right in there and took it on and got the job done. Really appreciate their professionalism."
