SOD Home Group

SOD came and gave an initial bis and worked with us on a design. From there the demo and construction began. They filled us in everyday on what was happening and our input was taken with open ears. Upon completion of the jobs (on time by the way) they did follow up over the next couple of weeks to make sure we were happy. As far as a remodel goes, this one was daily painless and SOD was great to work with.

I first contacted them 5/20/2012. They are very unorganized. They claimed they didn't even know that I had a BD purchased from them. They also said I didn't buy a big enough coupon to cover the work I needed done. They completely back tracked in what they were saying.

I went back to Oren and SOD Builders based on three previous jobs they did for us; once again, we were not disappointed. Oren and his crew did a complete, professional, efficient job in reroofing our home. The team took off the old roof and carted away all the resulting trash. They did a careful inspection of the sheeting, and had the city inspect it, too. Then they did an expert job in reroofing, arriving on time every day and making significant progress every day for the week they were on-site. They cleaned up the area every day, and on completion of the project, did a thorough, meticulous clean-up of our front yard, leaving it just as they found it. Oren made sure to check in frequently, and then several weeks after the job, checked in again to ensure everything was fine. I heartily recommend SOD Builders.

The painters arrived on time and completed on time.

Perfect! Arrived on time,clean, respectful, great attention to detail, & finished in 2 days instead of 3. I will definitely use them again.

Instead of coming out to do the estimate, he asked me to send a photo. He said that the stucco work I need done is too high on the building. There was no condition on the coupon saying that the stucco needed to be on the ground floor. I felt that the coupon was misleading with what they offer.

SOD was/is EXCELLENT. My previous experience with a joker who did some fence work for me last year, robbed me and left me with a mess. From what I hear, most contractors operate the same way: start a job, get some money, and bail. Start another job, and return to the original job whenever they get around to it. Since then, I was majorly defensive and prepared for being ripped off. Originally I called SOD because I saw the exterior painting special they were offering. Oren came over to have a look and give me an estimate. He arrived exactly on time - which is almost unheard of.... he didn't give me a window, he said 3 o'clock and he showed up exactly at 3. MAJOR points for that. Oren walked around the house and explained in detail what was needed, and things that could wait - ie the wood paneling over the carport. He told me the panel would eventually need to be replaced, but I could still get a few more years out of it... the same with the 55yr old partition. I am a single woman and a first time homeowner, and was Oren looking out for my best interest. For this, he not only got the job I have since hired him to repair and replace my driveway and patio. There is no scrimping and cutting corners with SOD. The crew is professional, punctual, courteous, and meticulous. Next, they will be replacing a tile floor.

The painters were on time and stayed full time. They were conscientious and professional.

From start to finish, SOD performed in a professional and timely manner. The project manager, Gil, did an outstanding job in ensuring that all completed work was topnotch. The exterior and interior painting perfectly matched the existing paint. The new doors, and associated hardware, were installed with excellent workmanship. The new exterior stucco was a perfect match to the existing stucco. And the workers did a great job in ensuring the work site was clean and safe. I highly recommend this company without reservation.

It went fabulous. The painter was on time. He did a perfect job and was also quick. We are very happy customers!

Carlos did a great job. We paid for 8 hours of work and he got more done than I thought was possible.

Couldn't have gone better. I would without a doubt use this company for painting and any other contract job.

We had a fantastic experience with SOD. Initially they gave us a very competitive bid and did a 3D design of our new kitchen. We had done a lot of research ahead of time and wanted a specifically modern, clean look, and they were very open and amenable to what we wanted. They found us exactly the look we wanted for all our finishes and were always willing to keep working if we weren't 100% happy. When it turned out our electrical wiring and water main were a bit old, they gave us their honest input but did not put any undue pressure on us to do the job, which we appreciated. The project managers, Oren and Shay, receive an A++ for responsiveness. If they didn't answer a phone call or text right away, they would respond VERY quickly thereafter -- and this from a couple of type A, first-time renovators. They were even so thoughtful as to remember our babysitting schedule and what times would be good to work around our toddler's schedule. The whole project did take a few weeks longer than expected, mostly due to a delay in manufacturing our doors (not entirely their fault), but I will say once the doors came in their guys did an excellent job framing and installing them. If there was ever a problem they addressed it right away. For instance, we moved into our house partway through the remodel, and the first day we discovered the hot water was not working. Oren sent someone within just an hour or two to take care of it. They really do care about the quality of their work and their clients. They were professional, punctual, and true to their word. We definitely plan on using them again for some future projects and will recommend them to our friends. Our house looks amazing, if I may say so myself. Thank you, guys!

Went as planned and scheduled and estimated.

SOD Builders was a very positive experience and I would gladly use them again. I was lucky enough to have Gill manage my bathroom tile job. He was always responsive and went out of his way to ensure I was satisfied with all their work. Highly recommended.

We interviewed 7 contractors, four from word of mouth and three through Angie's list. One by one they came through and spoke with us about cost, design, how they operated and timelines. Each one either had their own idea of how they would do it, or was way to high in price, or just indifferent, but when SOD Builders, Ore & Gil stopped by they made us feel very comfortable, they helped us see our vision. They started right away with demo and worked quickly, they seem to be very well organized and since they have their own electricians, carpenters and plumbers on staff, there was no waiting for the sub-contractor to stop by. They had a cabinet company and tile folks that we worked with to pick out new cabinets, floor tile and back splash, as well as sink, faucets, even a pasta or pot-filler over the stove. They made it very care-free and they took care of every detail and didn't charge for minor change orders. When we asked about the load bearing wall, they were unsure until their engineer came to visit, so they even gave us an estimate on the cost, in advance, just in case we did need to do the extra work and knowing the price upfront gave us piece of mind. In fact when we did have to do the extra work, they stuck to their quote. What I really love about working with SOD Builders was their positive attitude and a willingness to make us happy and to stick with their original quote and NO SURPRISES . We really enjoyed working with SOD and we are already getting quotes for a patio renovation.

Two months ago Oren - the owner, gave me a quote for the job requested. I called him a week ago last Thursday and the demo started last Monday and was completed that Wednesday.I'm a tough customer and the patio was a tough configuration.The job was EXACTLY what I wanted. His men showed up on time, spoke English, and were VERY specific and neat regarding all the details.They took every last bit of trash and concrete nugget with them.A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Carlos arrived very early and picked up supplies for me and worked all day doing a thorough job. He was polite and nice and everything looked good when he was done.

They arrived fresh, clean and on time for work. He immediately asked what I wanted done. He had all his brushes and rollers in and began his work. He worked quickly and neatly and only took time for a quick lunch.

I contacted SOD Builders and spoke to Margie to schedule the painter. She is so professional and explained the service to me in perfect detail. She even called and emailed me the day before to confirm the appointment.The painter arrived on time and was super clean and fantastic. He was very cautious not to get any drops of paint on my floors or cabinets. Margie followed up a day or two later to make sure I was happy with the paint job. There was one problem area that was not detected until the paint was dry. She then set up an appointment for the owner of the company to come by and take a look at it. He did not hesitate to rectify the problem right away. Shortly thereafter (a few days later) another painter arrived to fix the issue...The bathroom looks so great I am 100% satisfied. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. In fact we are getting a bid next week for an outdoor deck..Good work and customer service needs to be rewarded and SOD is worthy of this. Don't hesitate to hire them, you will be so happy you did.

When he gave the estimate which instead of the $999.00 as advertised he quoted $1300.00 I said thank you but no thank you.

They were clean efficient and fast. Got to work right away with no issues and great work.

I couldn't be happier with the results. I would highly recommend them.

I hired Oren and his SOD Builders team for two jobs; retiling a shower and an exterior house repainting. I was very satisfied; more importantly, my wife was very satisfied. Oren and his team were consummate professionals every step of the way on both jobs. The painters showed up on time every day, took great care to product plants and surrounding areas not to be painted, did not make assumptions regarding specific details but asked for clarification, and completed the job on time. They cleaned up every day, and on job completion did a *very* complete walkaround to ensure everything was returned to the state it was before they began (except that the house looked much better!). They even did some very finicky window repair work that I hadn’t been able to find anyone else to do. On the shower retile, the workers were very precise and professional. We were novices in terms of tile design; Oren’s team was very patient with us, even when we had to change a couple of things midstream. Always a smile from everyone, always willing to work with whatever new requirement we suddenly “had to have.” They worked easily around our constantly changing schedule, and, like the painters, protected the areas not to be worked on to prevent damage and cleaned up after themselves every day. During the work we decided to upgrade our electrical panel. Oren brought in his electricians and the job was done quickly and professionally, so as not to impact the painters. Oren arranged for all required inspections; he will not do any work that is not permitted and inspected. His insistence on this reassured us that all his work would be to the highest standards. Key to the success of all tasks was Oren himself. He did a complete initial workup of the jobs, outlining every detail and making suggestions when asked. He pointed out options but never tried to sell us anything we didn’t want. He kept close tabs on his teams and job progress, and frequently checked with us to ensure we were satisfied with the work. He answered every question, was available via phone or email at all hours, and was always cheerful and upbeat. Finally, he was always kind and considerate to my wife and daughters. I cannot recommend Oren and SOD Builders highly enough, and will certainly hire them again for my next major home improvement job.

We purchased the "Contractor for a Day" coupon and needed them to add drywall in our closet and shelving because it was cut into to add an air duct. The person who came out was prompt, installed the drywall and wood, plastered and put in the shelved. Also when he started, he covered the floors to protect them and cleaned up after himself well (no stray nails or bits of plaster) when done. We were very happy with the end result and will definitely call upon SOD builders again for larger projects.
