"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"Sharmila is fantastic. She works very quickly and figures out how to make time when changes or revisions are needed yesterday. She understands the city permit process, which is helpful in any construction project. She also selects great finishes that take your project to the next level, without it costing too much. She's a team player, collaborates great with the other trades so that ultimately everyone is very happy and very satisfied with the end results."

"I had great experience with A2Z Remodeling building an ADU It took me a long time to get all the approvals needed and plans for this ADU. I met with several contractors but Dor & Dror were kind and communicated, they were very thoughtful for my needs and desires. They werenâ t the cheapest but I had a bad previous experience in home renovation and a lot of change orders, with them there was no need for any additional charges because the price they gave was the exact amount needed to build this ADU. They showed me 100% professionalism. It was a Pleasure working with them and their team. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family they are the best."

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.
