"I had my kitchen redone by Mike at MF Construction about two years ago and was NOT happy with the results. I’m posting now because of a newly discovered problem. The reasons Electrical: My wife wanted a better kitchen, but all I wanted was a dedicated circuit for the microwave. The old kitchen wiring did need to be replace, (it cost us $6,800 for one room) and electrician said we needed an upgraded electric panel to 200amps at a cost of $3,800. 1. The electrician did NOT put the dedicated circuit for the microwave. Literally the only specific thing we requested of him. 2. With just a little bit of research I found we did NOT need the upgraded panel, which would have cost $3,800 PLUS almost $1,000 more to move some waterpipes away from it for code reasons. I called Mike and asked him why they said I needed one. He had the nerve to tell me that I was the customer and should know to ask more details. I told him that HE was the contractor and we hired him to help us navigate the process. As a homeowner, how am I supposed to know about electrical details? He begrudgingly took the item off the contract, and we stuck with the existing panel 3. The electrician refused to install our stove’s exhaust hood because someone in the past accused him of scratching theirs. Mike and a couple of laborers “installed it”, but the chimney, the piece that goes from the hood to the ceiling, wasn’t attached and was bent in. I fixed that myself later 4. Upon me writing my first negative review, Mike begged me to take it down and set up an appointment for the electrician to come over. I explained about the dedicated circuit and the electrician said the outlets were evenly split between two different circuits. I said I understood, but I wanted the microwave on its own because when the toaster oven was on, and you tried to use the microwave, the power drained and the microwave slowed. The electrician said, “Just run the cord to that other outlet”. I didn’t want a big black cord would be running across my new counter, I wanted a dedicated circuit. He then RAISED HIS VOICE while pointing to each outlet, “One, Two, One, Two, One, Two!” Mike stopped him and asked what it would take. They said they needed to rip out part of a wall, and would take days. Then the electrician again said, “But why, just run the cord across!”. His voice was louder this time and I demanded he leave and not yell at me in my own home. He kept arguing and I had to again ask him to leave…I was feeling unsafe at this point…but asked again, for a third time and Mike finally lead him out. As he stomped down my drive way he was yelling back at me that I was ignorant and to never call him again. This last part is all on my security cameras. Plumbing 1. We purchased an under-sink water filter and I asked him to hook it up for us. The entire installation consisted of attaching an adapter, that’s it. Anyone can do it, but since the plumber was just installing the valves, I asked if they could do it. Mike said it would be an additional $60 to $100. I was stunned. He said they would go ahead and install it and I could pay him after. I told him no, I would take care of it…I was livid. The plumber was much nicer, and said it was no problem and would only take a minute to do it and to not charge me General 1. When Mike had the crew move my fridge out, they marred the side of it. Luckily for us it was on the counter side. At the end they went to my garage to move it back in and kicked over a glass patio candle, spilling oil over the floor and shattering the glass. 2. Within a couple of weeks, the paint on the cabinets cracked and the doors didn’t line up. Mike did send someone out to fix that. NEW PROBLEM Today, September 15, 2022, I found a new issue. I tried to turn off the water to my sink and the valve isn’t working. After less than two years I am now forced to hire a plumber to come in an replace it with a quality one. How bad does a valve have to be to fail so quickly? After getting the cabinets fixed, and having Mike tell me he was sorry and because of some medical issues he let the quality suffer, I had forgiven MF Construction, despite the ongoing electric annoyances, and took down the bad review. After this new issue popped up again, it all came back. AVOID THIS COMPANY. There are many great GCs out there, so don’t take the chance. Additionally, as shown in the photos, the finishes were pathetic, as well. I ended up doing painting touch ups myself."

"This guy I the best. Worth every penny. My floors had holes and were shaking. My mom is in a wheel chair so this is not acceptable. Not only did he reinforce and level the floor he also recommended the right type of flooring. He truly went above and beyond. I would give him 10 stars it I could. ✨️"

"They did an absolutely beautiful job! I couldn’t be happier with the final product (and I tend to be pretty picky about things)! If you are looking for a professional installation in which the company takes a great deal of care and pride in what they do, then this is the company to use!"

"I really enjoyed working with Mike, Chris and June. I had high hopes of getting into our remodeled home within the allotted time that was discussed in the contract but when Covid hit it made the process much longer. Our choices were out of stock or were coming in later than promised. But overall Mike and his team were so professional and so honest with me and my husband about what step they were on or any problems that came up. I would definitely recommend and rehire again in the future. Thank you Mike and Chris"

"Adding a new home office was something we had been planning for a while, and after meeting with several contractors, we decided on Green Planet Remodeling—and we couldn’t be happier! The entire team was efficient, professional, and highly skilled. They kept us updated at every stage, and the communication was outstanding. What impressed me the most was their attention to detail—they made sure everything was done perfectly, from the electrical work to the custom-built shelving. The whole project was completed in a timely manner with zero hassle, and the space turned out even better than we imagined. This company truly takes pride in their work, and it shows."

"It went very well, they are fast, cleaned up after themselves, very efficient and they installed our appliances"

"Thiago, and the whole team at Meir Construction did a phenomenal job on our massive home remodel. We added a second story to our small Victorian Home in San Jose, nearly doubling it in size. We also completely re-arranged the interior layout including the kitchen and living room. They also removed 2 load bearing walls in the process. We basically rebuilt the entire home, while also trying to keep the character and style of a 100+ year old home."

"Very fast and professional response"

"I recently had Buildwright Construction remodel my entire home, and I'm thrilled with the new look. They have a laid-back California style that's both cool & caring. There was a small mix-up with the paint in one room, but as soon as I noticed, the project manager took care of it. They came back quickly to repaint the room, making sure it fit perfectly with my home’s vibe. Even with that little hiccup, my home feels fresh, warm, and inviting. I appreciate how Buildwright Construction handled the mistake with care and professionalism. If you're looking for quality work with a genuine, down-to-earth touch, I highly recommend them."

"Ben and his team were great to work with. After doing a smaller bathroom for us we also hired them to work on the master bathroom renovation. Ben was on top of things and very communicative. Any questions we had, he answered and made sure to handle any concerns we had throughout the length of the project. We are pleased with the new bathrooms are recommend him and his team!!!"
