"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."

"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."

"I worked with David from So Cal Builders and Design on a bathroom and bedroom addition to my home. We had been through a few renovation projects before so expectations were low, but I can honestly say this is the BEST experience I have ever had with a contractor. If you need work done hire David and his team! David helped navigate the whole process for us from drawing up the plans, through the entire build, and final inspection. As with any renovation project some issues arose along the way, but David's attitude was always "it's okay, we will take care of it"! He was super transparent with everything going on, and was very responsive when I had questions. He also helped me with some design ideas that I absolutely LOVE! The end result is honestly better than I could have fully envisioned, and I truly believe it wouldn't have been possible without David and his team. Thank you for everything So Cal Builders and Design!"

"We recently added a full master suite and a new retaining wall at ground level of our existing home. We interviewed several contractors and decided on Shenon Construction to build our addition. Tom Shenon is the principal owner and licensed general contractor of Shenon Construction. The estimated costs were reasonable and within our budget, and Tom worked with us to keep our costs down without sacrificing quality. More importantly, we felt a connection to Tom Shenon, as he is sincere and honest, but knowledgeable and professional in his approach to our needs. The work is now complete, and we are entirely pleased with the outcome of our new addition. Needless to say, the process of adding nearly 400 square feet to a structure, especially in Southern California, is a very complicated and detailed endeavor. There are many strict building and environmental regulations and permitting requirements set forth by numerous governmental entities, as well as homeowners association requirements that we had to navigate. The difficulty of getting through architectural planning, engineering, and city permitting was compounded during the COVID pandemic, but Tom and his design/architectural/engineering team did an excellent job to design our project and guide us through the processes and procedures necessary to complete the process timely and thoroughly. He is a competent contractor and knowledgeable in his field. He allowed us to select and purchase all owner-supplied fixtures and materials ourselves, or use his design and supplier team to obtain required items at the best prices. We used a mixture of contractor-recommended suppliers as well as obtaining our own selection of items based on our personal preferences. All of the subcontractors, project supervisors, and trade craftsmen were superb. They were courteous and respectful of our property, trustworthy, and extremely skillful in their trades. The craftmanship is amazing and resulted in a beautiful, comfortable addition. All the suppliers and subcontractors used by Shenon Construction went above and beyond to help us obtain needed items at reasonable prices in a timely manner. Based on the results of our project, we feel we definitely made the correct choice in Shenon Construction to complete our addition, and we consider Tom and all the craftsmen involved in our project to be long-term friends. We have no regrets, and we look forward to living in our lovely remodeled home."

"A friend referred me to David at Horizon in 2017 when a bathroom renovation/upgrade was required after car accident. His team miraculously converted a 1965 bathroom into a show room design with a beautiful walk-in shower. It’s a challenge with a one-bathroom condo but David & his team made it possible for me to stay in my home the entire time. He was always available by phone/text for even the smallest concern. I reached out to David again this year for repairs due to root damage from common area trees. Most of the damage was at the front of my house but I did ask David to remove the popcorn ceiling in my living/dining rooms where there was a crack in the middle of the condo. To match my new smooth ceiling, the living/dining rooms were painted to give a complete clean look. I purchased my front door which Horizon installed, and David selected the beautiful sliding glass/screen door. I was pleasantly surprised with the new technology and how easily they glide open. The team also replaced the front entry tile which I had previously purchased. Outside, a partial replacement of a fence, demo of old cracked patio, and new cement patio installed. I was told a brush technique was used so I wouldn’t slip if the patio was wet. What great enhancement! They even patched the old stucco and painted. It felt like a new home. Thanks to David and his team for their excellent work! You weren’t just completing a job; you were making a difference in my day-to-day life."

"George installed our kitchen cabinets and did an amazing job! He answered my questions, was very clean and my friends & family were really impressed. Would I rehire George?? Yes, I definitely would.

"They were the real deal Gave me an amazing price for my patio cover project The work was done in a great manner and right on time I will definitely recommend JRD Construction"

"Bar and the WeBuild Efficient team did a great job installing pavers on my driveway and fixing my wooden steps and garage. He was very professional and responsive. I would recommend them, highly."

"Just after half a year after they completed the job, the paint are peeling off. I have already contacted them , call them a lot of times (30 times for the past 4 mos ), but they did not respond. The problem was not resolved. It was a terrible job, terrible post sale customer service."

"Juan and his crew were very professional and did excellent work!"
