"I've used Apex Premier for both Stucco and Drywall work over the years on my house, big projects to small repairs and patches. The work is high quality, well organized, and well thought out. You will always get an honest answer from them. The communication is the best in the biz, the attention to detail is the best in the biz. I wish I could find this commitment to work from all contractors, but that is just not the case at all, quite refreshing."

"We completed a full master bathroom plus master closet remodel with Brother & Brother Builders in March 2020. Ido, the project manager, and the crew, Ricardo and Ismael, performed excellent work at transforming our bathroom from an awkward and dated 1960s layout to a modern, beautiful masterpiece. Selection Process: We interviewed eight contractors for our master bathroom remodel. We chose Brother & Brother Builders for a variety of reasons. Ido, the project manager, spent a reasonable amount of time with us to understand the scope of the project, including asking questions and offering new insights to challenges. He provided us with a quote of the project cost before even leaving our house. The written quote included an appropriate level of detail about what the project would entail. The price seemed reasonable compared to the other quotes we had received. We felt comfortable talking with Ido. He was not overly pushy to close the sale. Brother & Brother followed up on multiple occasions regarding our interest in pursuing the work further. Before/Design Process: This is our first home and our first major remodel. We were, understandably, nervous. Brother & Brother provided design service through one of their project managers, Roi. Roi provided some valuable suggestions to the design process when he came to our home. He provided nice 3-D images of what our remodeled space might look like. As we were still unsure as to colors/styles/etc., the images gave us a good idea of what the finished layout would be, if not much about how it would actually look when it was done. In retrospect, we would have benefited from hiring an interior designer to help us walk through the process of style/color/tile selection. We spent a considerable amount of time trying to decide colors and styles. Hiring a trained designer would have saved time and stress overall. Construction: The renovation, from start to finish, was seven weeks, not including installation of the shower glass enclosure. The last two weeks of the renovation were during the first two weeks of the COVID-19 shelter in place restrictions. The initial timeline was 5-6 weeks. With consideration of the COVID epidemic, we were very pleased that the project was completed so close to the initial timeline. We communicated with Ido nearly every day via Whats App. He came to the house only a few times during the process -- mainly during inspections or to collect payment -- but, he was available via Whats App at any time. Ido provided valuable help finding us a vanity and countertop through his contacts. He provided some excellent suggestions at going with a more streamlined look that we are glad for now. He also provided encouragement and pushed us toward making decisions in a timely manner, all of which was needed and appreciated. We enjoyed working with him throughout the whole process. Ricardo and Ismael, the on-site crew, were wonderful to work with. Every day, they cleaned up the bathroom/bedroom work area, as well as their work areas on the side of the house. There was very little extra to clean up when the renovation was complete. They were extremely respectful in their interactions with our family, as well as being in our home every day. Ricardo, the lead contractor, checked in with us every step of the way to confirm what we wanted and needed. Ricardo had a great attitude throughout the entire process -- positive and willing to make changes or go above and beyond. At one point, he realized that we might need to order more tile for the shower wall, which would have been challenging regardless of the global pandemic, but even more challenging with it. He managed to find enough pieces in the remnant tile to complete the entire shower and no one would be the wiser looking at it -- a puzzle masterpiece. Completion: We are extremely happy with the finished product! We feel that the overall quality of the work is excellent. We highly recommend Brother & Brother Builders and would hire them again."

"Overall, it went pretty well, though there were some gotchas that future customers should be wary of. 1) At the time of the estimate, I specifically asked about whether a permit was needed and if so who was responsible for getting it. FiveStar indicated that a permit would be needed and getting it was their responsibility. However, they did not get it. A city inspector caught them doing unpermitted work on the final day of installation. He was kind enough to let them finish what they were doing with the instruction that they rectify the permit issue afterwards. FiveStar told me that they were trying to save me money by skipping the permit. At no time had I indicated that cutting legal corners to save money was an option. In fact, I would have thought that my questioning about the permit process would have conveyed my interest in doing things according to the city regulations. (I think they were actually saving themselves some expense and effort.) If the inspector had caught them at a different time in the process and been less accommodating and enforced a stop work order, I could have been left with gaping holes in my house for several days while the permit issue was resolved. Lesson learned: ensure that workers have the appropriate permit in hand when they show up for work. 2) I had expected that the house would be tidied up each day after work was completed. That was not the case. Drop cloths and debris cluttered various rooms. This was not a huge deal in my case, but it is something for future customers to clarify with the company. 3) The workers did some repair of cracks in the wall by a couple of the windows. It appears that the mud was flung somewhat sloppily. I found globs of it on adjoining walls and on nearby furniture. Fortunately, the furniture was already somewhat worn, so I could take this in stride. Lesson learned: if you have furniture or other items that you want to ensure are well protected, do it yourself, even though the contract says that they will cover furniture and use drop cloths. 4) Some of the screens did not fit properly, leaving gaps for insects to get into the house. It took two attempts to get the right-size screens. The first attempt failed because the replacement screens were not ordered at the right size, according to the manufacturer. I don't know why the original screens didn't fit properly. This was resolved with some patience (since the screens had to be made to order). Proper fit of the screens is something to watch out for."

"Wonderful! We contracted with Rick in 2017 to repair and weatherproof several stucco walls. In 2018, we began a large job consisting of removing dry rot siding, repairing the areas with plywood. In the process we repaired a bay window that was leaking. Then we added 1 1/2” foam insulation over the old siding and topped that with new manufactured wood siding. Now our house is watertight, better insulated, and refreshed with a more modern look. We will continue to work with Rick and his crew in 2019 on a deck project. His guys are always professional. We have a dog and the guys make sure the gates are closed so he doesn’t get out."

"They were on time, professional and completely catered to our immediate needs during the cleaning process. I will continue to use their survices, great team of guys."
