"We needed to have our kitchen remodeled badly. Jonathan was highly recommended. After talking to him and comparing his plan and 3-D graphs, we decided to hire him. We were very involved throughout the process. He was open to our design suggestions and they impacted minimally the original quote. The team was excellent. They all have great attention to detail and they are very organized and clean. Jonathans quote included everything we needed. He gave us the address of the places we needed to go to pick the cabinets and counter-top and we were very very happy with the quality of the materials. We did not need to upgrade them. And the end product is spectacular! We absolutely love our new kitchen. I love cooking in it, hanging out and simply looking at it."

"As a General Contractor With Baiza Construction, inc rated 5 star, I been working with Mr. Guerrero for the last 3-4 years asking for immediate help on consulting and architectural drawing for all my projects needs.

AMAZING process and results!!! She is my GO TO designer! I would highly recommend Valerie for any project!"

"The technician who came out to take measurements claimed that he was part of the design team for both this company. He also claimed he was a designer for the Devon Hill housing development in which I lived at that time, so he was familiar with houses and the kitchen cabinets. After he took the measurements, he promised he would send me a rendering of the design to my email, but I never received this design for a kitchen remodel. I tried to contact them at least once directly, but I could not speak with anyone in person. I left a voicemail that was never returned. Then I contacted Angie's List for assistance."

"All communications with the business owner Jose Sosa were through Angie's List and text message. Communications responsiveness was good. Jose discussed options with me every step of the way. Sosa is a small business, so his approach was not like a large contractor. I was somewhat uncomfortable with his approach early on, but I took a chance and am very happy I engaged Sosa for this work. Shout out to the tile installer Pedro, who did a fantastic job installing the tile. I worked with the designer recommended by Sosa. I was happy with their expertise and they had a very large inventory of tile and vanities from which to choose. I purchased the materials using Sosa's business discount. Sosa picked up the materials when necessary according to his work schedule. The bathroom was a standard single family house bathroom. We will very likely engage Sosa to remodel our master bathroom which is roughly three times the size of our standard bathroom."

"We are very pleased with the outcome and would happily recommend Suncrest to anyone.  John Cantrall, the owner of Suncrest Builders, struck the right tone with us right off the bat.  He responded to our phone call promptly, came out and met us almost immediately and grasped completely the scope and feel of what we wanted to do with our house.  When he sent us his estimate, it was so thorough that we were convinced he understood what the project entailed.
Now at the end of the project, we feel the home is as we always envisioned, and John and his team are wholly responsible for helping us realize our vision.
We worked with Suncrest's architect on the design, which was a satisfying experience.  The architect had excellent ideas but was also happy to oblige us on our preferences.  Part of the way through the project, we discovered that we were expecting a new baby.  The framing of the second floor was just about to begin, and we would need to alter the layout to create a better bedroom for the new arrival.  John worked quickly and cheerfully to come up with a new upstairs plan, which worked better than the original.  That kind of in-the-moment responsiveness meant a lot to us through this project that from our first meeting with John to finished house will have lasted about 18 months.
Bryan, the onsite manager, really keeps things going and has complete knowledge of what is happening on with our property at all times.  He has a great way with the workers and as a client it is always a pleasure to interact with him.  He kept focused and upbeat even when we were feeling uncertain or frustrated, which helps to get things back on track all the sooner.
We can honestly say that each and every person who worked in our house was a craftsman and pleasure to work with.  The carpenters, electricians, plumbers, tile installer (superb!), painters, flooring installers... the people John hires and subs to are top notch.  Our home's quality reflects the quality of Suncrest employees.  We have our favorite workers, people we will genuinely miss seeing when Suncrest is completely done and gone from our day-to-day life, but every person was good and easy to talk to and work with.
Actually, there was one subcontractor we did not get along with well, and John immediately replaced him so that we could work with someone better.  We both appreciated that John heard our complaint and reacted so quickly so that we could have a better experience.
With a project this size, there were some inevitable problems... structural problems that held up work and communication problems that created added frustration.  The structural problems we encountered could not have been anticipated.  In all instances Suncrest worked in a very common-sense manner to correct these problems and build the house so that it was done right.  When beams were rotted or structures were unsound they would meet with us onsite and show us the problems first-hand and explain what was needed to make it right.  In many cases we didn't have any choice but to do the extra work.  However, I felt that John always gave us a fair price for the extra work and in no way price-gouged us along the way.  In fact, I believe our overage on the project was less than 10% of the total project cost (outside of upgrades we wanted for cosmetic reasons).  In this way, John built trust through an arduous process.
 
The communication problems almost were harder to deal with and unfortunately undermined some of the confidence in the project when we felt the most vulnerable.  We were really looking to John for solutions to complex problems that we felt only he could resolve, and it felt like he was pulling back when we needed him most.  Every day and week that passed without an answer or work going on created more stress and nervousness.  Keeping us in the loop, even to say, "I am not yet sure how we will resolve this, but we are working on a solution," would have gone a long way during those times.  We look back on the kind of problems we encountered and realize how difficult they really were to handle.  However, we wish the lines of communication could have been more open.
Overall, the problems we encountered were resolved in a way that was satisfactory to us.  I suppose that is all that matters.  We end this project feeling great respect for John and all the workers affiliated with Suncrest and will think of them often as we enjoy our practically new home.  We were prepared for the worst... we have all heard nightmare stories about contractors... and even though we had a few problems (how could we not?), feel only happiness and a sense that it was more than worth it in the end.

"Fantastic, they showed up everyday, they are working in shifts and they are very professional. Juan carlos did the plumbing, design the work and his team did the tile work and it was wonderful. The bathroom was so gorgeous. It was a good communication with juan carlos and oscar who did tiles. They put cover over their shoes."
