What the reviews have in common

Read side by side, the reviews come back to the same few points:

  • A named project manager. Reviewers name Josh or Poli as the person they dealt with day to day. Every project receives a dedicated project manager so you know who to turn to every step of the way.
  • Problems explained, not hidden. Some reviews mention a tile delivery delay, a fixture mix-up or a wall that had to come out mid-job, and describe how the team told them and sorted it out.
  • Living at home during the work. Several reviewers stayed in the house through construction and mention crews cleaning up at the end of each day.
  • Small fixes at the end. Reviewers describe the team coming back to finish the last list of small items, in some cases after move-in.

How to read contractor reviews before you hire

A star rating on its own tells you little. When you compare remodelers, ours included, these questions get more out of each review:

  1. Does the reviewer name the project and its scope? A bathroom refresh and a second-story addition test a contractor in very different ways, so give more weight to reviews of jobs like yours.
  2. Does the review name the people who ran the job? Names that recur across reviews suggest you will deal with the same people the reviewer did.
  3. How were problems handled? Most remodels hit something unexpected, such as a supply delay or damage found behind a wall. The useful reviews say what happened next.
  4. Was the work finished? Look for mentions of the final walk-through and of small fixes after move-in.
  5. Is the license active? Reviews cannot show you that. Look up the number on the state board’s website; ours is CSLB License #1073096, and the steps are on our about page.

For the full checklist, including the questions to ask before you sign, read our guide on how to choose a remodeling contractor. To see finished work, browse the project portfolio.
