"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"After moving back into our home (which had been a rental for 10+ years) we decided we had no choice but to remodel two leaky bathrooms down to the studs and also our 1/2 bath. We looked for experience, a good plan, the promise of communication, and a fair price. And some hand-holding, because we would be living at home during construction. Nathan from Wise Builders is amazing, if you are lucky enough to get him as your project manager. Wise has a unique way of working--there were no surprises, they finished when they said they would, and for the price quoted. We were very pleased when Nathan said that if we went with Wise, he would become our advocate and he would be our liaison with the crew. He really was--whenever there was a question, a text or call got a quick answer. We described what we wanted, and Nathan explained what they could do to make it happen, what was possible vs what would cost more than we wanted to spend. We loved the concept of going to showrooms to pick out absolutely everything from the tile to the shower drain. Nathan helped us place the orders, checked on delivery dates and crew progress at every step, kept us in the loop, and made sure we were always satisfied. The crew is considerate and pleasant, they cleaned up afterwards each day, and most of all, they do beautiful work. Our three new bathrooms are just what we wanted! We're pretty pleased that we found Wise Builders."

"I interviewed six solar companies and got bids from three. Charlie of Landmark construction & energy crew stood out much more above the other companies that I spoke and met with. He is responsive, always returned my calls quickly and he does what he says he is going to do. Charlie came over to my house and met with me before installation, during the installation and after. In addition he worked with his crew at the beginning of installation to make sure everything was perfect with a tricky area of my roofline. Above all of what I wrote above, Charlie and the office staff are very organized people. Charlie was able to provide me with a lot of information about rebates, taxes etc… and Every bit of information I could want related to monitoring my system, working with Landmark construction & energy crew, maximizing the cost benefits, and getting my tax rebate, are all gathered and clearly labelled in a binder. Charlie knew how to explain everything about solar and I could see during our meetings how much patient he have. Charlie didn't have to push anything in order to sell his work to me because his product was the one I wanted, it made sense, and the price was better than others. I can't think of a contractor and I've worked with quite a few once in the past and for this project, I met with several ones as well and Landmark construction & energy crew is more reliable, efficient, and customer-oriented. Thank you, Charlie!"

"We were looking for a contractor to completely remodel our one bedroom condo in San Francisco. We met with few different companies but after meeting with Moses from HomeTech Construction & Design, he gave us great suggestions that showed us his experiences. He was also very clear with the cost and what his included and what is not. They were able to work with our budget as it was very important also they provided 100% financing for no additional cost. They helped us pull all the necessary permits as well as made sure everything is done by legal expectations. Project was finishes at least two weeks earlier then predicted and the apartment rented even before all work was done. We and new tenants were really pleased with the finishes, design and quality of work. We especially really like the bathroom finishes. It was very easy communicate with the designer, office, contractor, and of course Moses, the project manager. Also the communication between the team was very well coordinated. We would definitely recommend HomeTech to everyone looking to remodel their home."

"I had high hopes for this company after my initial contact with them through Angie's list.  I sent an email and got a response back right away from Tal and then we talked about the scope of work needed over the phone and made an appointment for the following week.  When it came time for the contractor to meet me at my home, he never showed and so I called Tal and she informed me that since they were unable to reach me by phone at work and confirm the appointment that day, even though I had made the appointment less than a week prior, and they cancelled the appointment.  I had provided my cell phone as well which she did call but never left a message.  This was extremely frustrating as I had cancelled a meeting in order to be at my home for the appointment time.  I decided to give them a second chance and rescheduled the appointment.
The second time the contractor did arrive on time and we went over the scope of work together.  My ex arrived towards the end of the walk through (we are working on fixing up our house together so we can sell it).  At this time the contractor started talking primarily to him.  We asked what he thought the general cost of the work would be, a rough estimate and he said he thought it would be anywhere from $8-12K.  He told us that his technician would be in the area the following day and that he could come by and put together an itemized list of the work done and give us a formal quote.  
Even though I had called and set up the appointment and had the majority of the communication with the company, the contractor called my ex the following week, not me,  and told him that the technician's quote was for $18-22K!  More than double what he initially thought the cost would be.  I asked my ex to request a written quote for the work so we could see where all of the money was going towards.  We never heard from the contractor again.
I followed up a few weeks later through Angies list email with Tal, the woman who I had made the appointment with to find out when we could expect a written quote and she said she would check and we have not heard a peep since.  
Since our dealings with this contractor we have hired another who quoted us $3400 to get all of the work done and who we eventually hired.   I feel like this company just didn't want to do the work for whatever reason and just threw an astronomical price at us hoping that we would just go somewhere else instead of being honest with us and wasting our time. 
Lastly, during the course of our interaction I felt the contractor made comments about our personal situation that were inappropriate and it bothered me that he felt more comfortable talking to my ex who is male, rather than myself who was the one managing the project and money.  

Just wanted to respond to the provider.   I did give an opportunity to provide service after the initial misunderstanding of the missed appointment.  The primary disappointment was that I never received a written quote or a quote to myself over the phone.  I have not received any calls after the visit to my home to my cell or received any voicemails nor did I receive anything via email regarding the quote or any updates.   The only voice message I received on my work phone was after I posted this review.  The issue was not the price as we were willing to pay what it took to get this project done.  There was just zero follow up.

"I want to say big thank you to Dor & Dror from A2Z Remodeling. My parents live in an old house that they bought years ago and never renovated it. Finally they decided to renovate the house specially the kitchen, 2 bathrooms and floors. They received several estimates and decided to go with A2Z Remodeling, all because of Dor and Dror were very communicative and very sensitive to what my parents wanted, dream wise and money wise. Me and my sister came to visit our parents after the construction has been done and we were amazed how beautiful their house look like right now. My parents are thrilled because they feel like they are leaving in a new house having new memories. So once again thank you A2Z Remodeling team for an amazing work and thank you Dor and Dror. I am writing this thank you because my parents I don’t have any social media email and such. I wish, where I live I’ll find a company like A2Z Remodeling when I need to renovate my home."

FAQs for find a custom home builder projects in Oakland, CA

A tiny house is a compact dwelling that revolutionizes living spaces. Averaging 225 square feet but scaling up to 600 square feet, tiny homes demonstrate extraordinary design ingenuity. They seamlessly blend functionality and comfort, proving that limited square footage doesn't mean compromising lifestyle. Through smart design, they maximize smart and offer a complete lifestyle solution in a minimal footprint.

Investment in energy-efficient appliances and improved insulation further secures steady savings. Homeowners benefit from predictable monthly expenses and a cost-effective operating budget that supports sustainable living.
