Mick and his crew are fantastic. Competent, meticulous, flexible (about delivery delays due to COVID), and a pleasure to work with.
I am very grateful to Mick and his expert crew. Our kitchen remodel went beautifully, and the job was done months sooner than anticipated. He is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. He knows all aspects of his field well and is a masterful builder. His team of workers is very skillful. Mick and everyone of them were a pleasure to work with. We have already referred friends to MK Builders and will continue to do so. Now, we are extremely happy our beautiful newly remodeled kitchen.

FANTASTIC!! Mick has been helping with our house since 2010. When we moved in, we had permitting issues with a gazebo and backyard stairs. He promptly took care of these issues. We had a massive kitchen leak which destroyed our hardwood floors and we had to replace our kitchen island. Mick to the rescue! He put us in touch with David who designed and procured the cabinet and countertop we wanted, and Mick put it all together. Simply gorgeous work! And he explains everything to you so you know what to expect, when to expect it, and he's so reasonably priced! We need him to repatch the drywall after our plumber cut open a giant hole in our dining room wall from another water intrusion issue, and since he is out here, we are having him replace our oversized and custom front door. There is nothing Mick cannot do. He also has an arsenal of amazing specialty contractors to do those things Mick does not do. He always comes along to make sure the work is done to his very exacting specification. We trust him with our home, and consider him a trust friend. Thank you Mick for always taking care of us!

I had a specific idea of what I wanted for my needed remodel . Since the shower had failed, I decided to redo and update the whole bathroom. Whereas other contractors said my plan could not be implemented, Mick figured out a way to accomplish it, and it turned out just beautiful. Mick does meticulous work and his communication during the project was unsurpassable. He chooses skilled subcontractors when needed and always keeps a close check on their work as well. I'll never call a different contractor for ANYTHING again.

Response from MK Builders
As a courtesy we always let our potential clients know if we are able to bid on their job so they can find a contractor that can help with their projects at that time and minimize any delays. We don't like over extending ourselves so our clients get the best service we have to offer. MK Builders

Recently, MK Builders completed an extensive remodel of my house that involved a kitchen, bathroom, den and outdoor deck. I am extremely pleased with the project and highly recommend MK Builders to any interested party. It has been a distinct pleasure to work with the owner and general contractor, Mick. He is a good communicator and very well organized; valuable qualities in the execution of a remodeling project that involves a multitude of sub-contracting jobs (plumbing, drywall, insulation, tiling, painting). He and his staff performed all of the carpentry and electrical work. An especially invaluable skill with remodeling projects of older homes is the need to adjust or modify the construction to accommodate an unanticipated complication, which often does not reveal itself until after the demolition. MK Builders encountered several issues with the existing framing and foundation of our job that the contractor was able to successfully address through experience, skill and ingenuity. The quality of the work met or exceeded our expectations. Mick and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. It is also a “Mick thing” for his staff to thoroughly clean the site after every workday. Mick is the electrician. He corrected the wiring problem that the previous weekend warrior owner had made with three of our light switches. He installed lights in our crawl space, which has made such a difference. We had a number of unforeseen delays that were outside our control. The custom-made tile order was delayed by more than four weeks. The cabinet order was delayed. The house remodel triggered the replacement of the sewer lateral, which had to be done before the final inspection. The gas and electric company did power pole replacement on our street which resulted in no power for two days.
Description of Work: Remodeled kitchen (new cabinets, new appliances with the conversion to a gas line for the range, new sink, new light system), downstairs basement bedroom converted into a large den and the bathroom relocated to an exterior wall (electric radiant floor heat installed, closet was removed and French doors were installed to bring in more light, two large bay windows installed, wall-mounted toilet and vanity installed as well as a glass shower, new tile floors installed), new circuit breaker box installed to bring the box up to code. Outside, the aging redwood deck was replaced, using Trex and cables.
The only criticism I have is that from the start of the Job it was difficult to establish a work schedule/completion date. That aside, Mick's crew did great work! I've hired my share of contractors in the city. From my experience it's rare to get the quality you pay for. All aspects of the work performed turned out excellent. I would definitely hire MK Builders again.
Description of Work: Used MK Builders for a complete interior remodel of a 3 bed/1bath condo. Scope of work included a full kitchen and bathroom gut, new paint, wood paneling, appliance installation, electrical, plumbing, lighting, floor refinishing....the works!

Mick Velasquez was extremely responsive and supportive throughout a long and a bit stressful remodel. My husband, our dog and cat all moved into the 500 square foot apartment in the lower part of the house, while the remodel made chaos out of the top level. Mind you that this started three weeks after my knee was replaced in January. When the bathroom and Kitchen were basically but not completely finished, at the end of May, my husband had his knee replaced. Mick, his assistant Joel and all his sub contractors were amazingly supportive, flexible, courteous and communicative. They were super clean while doing messy work. The results were professional. When mistakes were made, ownership was taken of those mistakes and the errors corrected. Mick communicated with us and our designer on a daily basis, sending us summaries at the end of each day. We always knew what to expect and when. Mick has an artistic sense as well as being a good craftsman. And he thinks ahead and tries to avoid problems. This was impressive. He also kept us aware of the cost of everything and tried to keep those costs down, which we appreciated. The attention to details, always, made a difference in the end result. And we now have a completely new kitchen , bath, living and dining area with a very open peaceful feel. We love it!
Description of Work: Gutted and rebuilt kitchen and master bath with new wiring, plumbing, recessed lights, appliances, installed cabinets and arranged for tile work, custom shower glass, mirror. Also installed heated floor in bath. He additionally arranged for painting throughout upper floor of house and staircases, installed recessed lights in living and dining rooms and hall, replaces and added fans in dining, living and office. Lastly, over saw the demolition of brick wall separating kitchen and living room and the remodeling of the fireplace. He also came back to take out the cabinet in another bathroom and put together and install a set of cabinets from IKEA - not at all a simple task!

Any permit process when dealing with a city is time consuming, and expensive. Mick took care of everything. He came to see what needed to be done, and from that point on, it was in his capable hands. He kept us informed at every single step and gave us projected dates for each subsequent step. We knew what was going to happen, and when. The work performed was professional. Thank you Mick!!!
Description of Work: We had permit issues resulting from the former owner. Mick knew exactly what to do, who to call, who to see, and got the job done.

We hired Mick (MK Builders) after interviewing over 8 contractors. We got pricing from 5 and he was in the middle on cost. I am so happy we chose right and went with MK Builders. Mick is is general contractor and also an electrician. He text me every evening and told me what was happening the next day. If I was unhappy with anything he quickly fixed it. Mick is a total professional and a great guy. From start to finish it was 8 weeks. In our last house we did a smaller remodel and went almost 4 months. We passed all inspections first time, and we were right on budget. We are thinking of doing our mater bath next and I wont even talk to another contractor, I'll go right to Mick.
Description of Work: Total kitchen remodel. We took down 2 walls and expanded the foot print of our kitchen. Everything was new.

Since we are seniors (in our 70's) and had never undertaken extensive remodeling before, we went into all this naively and with some trepidation. We weren't even sure what materials we wanted, let alone where to get them. As soon as Mick realized this he helped us get to the right people and good businesses that we could rely on going forward. A lot of people were involved in this job, and I can honestly say that they did excellent work. Mick is very personable and easy to work with.

Smooth as silk. Mick and team were always right on time, and very fairly priced. They cleaned up nicely at the end of each day they worked, and you could hardly even tell they had been there at all. We are planning a Major kitchen renovation in a couple of months, and went straight to MK Builders as our first choice for this huge project. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

Mick is very particular about his work, using only skilled subs, and paying attention to the most minor details. When the marble slab we had ordered showed up with dents and scratches, he refused to accept the material. Had he not been paying attention, he could've allowed the installers to install a substandard countertop in our showpiece kitchen, which would've been a disaster. Additionally, he is very organized and keeps the job site extremely neat. He completed the project in a timely manner, while paying attention to our budget constraints. We are very pleased with the results.
Description of Work: This is the third project that Mick has completed for us. We remodeled an entire house (kitchen, 2 baths, new flooring, replaced a few windows, skylight, interior and exterior painting and landscaping).

As soon as we met Mick, we knew we could work with him. We interviewed other contractors, but came back to Mick. He is personable, reliable, organized, and he always kept us informed via email, phone or in person. We tend to micromanage and he was very accommodating and tolerant of our involvement. He treated us equally as far as decision making went. There were a few change order issues that were worked out. We've had to have the tile guy come back a few times to finish some details, but everything looks great and functions well.

If you are looking for a contractor with integrity, honesty and a most importantly attention to detail and a strong, professional work ethic, I would highly recommend you call Mick Velasquez for your remodel. He is an excellent communicator and always kept us up to date on the progress of the project. We will use him again for future projects -- no other contractors will be bid.
Description of Work: I chose Mick Velasquez as our general contractor after an extensive interview process with approximately 10 other contractors to completely remodel my father's home for resale. This was a daunting task give the fact as owners, we were living 500 miles away, the house was empty and the contractor would be left on his own to complete the project without daily owner oversight or supervision.In today's world of horror stories about contractors, I can, without reservation, recommend Mick and his crew for living up to and beyond our expectations. Mick completely remodeled our family's 3000 square foot home with tremendous attention to detail. With only a set of plans in hand, Mick's transformed the house into a home. All materials chosen were top quality and the finished impeccable. Mick's initial estimate was on target and there were never any "hidden costs" or surprises -- he had a budget, and stuck to it. Included in the remodel were: complete remodel of kitchen (down to studs) with install of new appliances, cabinets and granite countertops, 3 bathrooms(including new plumbing, electrical and travertine tile on floors and showers.bath), the addition of a new powder room, living room remodel, numerous recessed lights throughout, flooring install, carpet and interior/exterior paint supervision, new main electrical panel, new water heater install, new heater install oversee, all new baseboards and door casings throughout, all new interior door fixtures and new living room fireplace surround (travertine) and mantle. All in all, it was a complete interior remodel from top to bottom
