Majestic Builders

Chuck is extremely professional and is able to tackle just about any job. He clearly has a wide range of skills and is excellent at figuring out how to solve problems. Chuck is very conscientious, and I appreciate his attention to detail. I was impressed with the quality of Chuck's work and would hire him again without question.

Excellent- every morning Chuck checks in and reviews his plan for the day's work, then checks back before he leaves. Worksite was tidy each day. We only used subcontractor for glass shower walls, custom vanity and granite countertop. Chuck will contract and supervise these if you wish however in our case we contracted with all three ourselves without issues

After a few guys came over and gave their prices, we decided on Chuck because he had the most professional and friendly manner of them all. He did a fantastic job, arriving on time and cheerfully tackling even the most challenging parts of our little projects. He was also willing to negotiate, making his top-quality services very affordable for us. We would recommend him to anyone!

This is the second project we've had Majestic Builders do for us. The first (a downstairs bathroom, four years ago) went so well that we looked forward to working with Chuck again. Here's why: He is very responsive: He's easy to reach by phone, text, and email. He is honest: He does what he says he will do, when he says he will do it. He is knowledgeable: He clearly knows construction, plumbing, and electrical and the product options available in each area, with recommendations for where to find the best sources, both in stores or online. We always feel his suggestions have our best interests in mind. He's straightforward: The information he provides in the planning stage is clear and easy to keep track off throughout the project: he lists each step that will need to be completed, what tasks and product will be required, and makes a good estimate of what it will cost. Both our projects have ended up very close to what he estimated, with variation primarily due to changes in our preferences as the work unfolded. He has high standards: He clearly cares about what he creates and fixes and the outcome reflects that -- he wants everything to work smoothly and look good. He works efficiently: Because he knows what needs to be done, he is able to organize tasks in the best order to get the entire project done as quickly as possible. He works with an assistant who helps keep things moving along by taking care of specific tasks and helping Chuck work on the bigger things. He keeps the work area as clean as possible given that construction is going on. He's a nice guy -- friendly, good natured, and patient, even with homeowners anxious about changes happening in their homes!

I give Chuck A+++ for his work. He always on time, professional, hard working, gives great suggestions, and did beautiful quality work. My husband and I love our bathrooms and would highly recommend Chuck.

Chuck is the best. He does beautiful work, gives sound advice, and is completely dependable. He goes out of his way to make sure the work is done well and helps you make decisions that save money and time. He gets my highest recommendation.

Graton is only 10 miles from Rohnert Park, where this business is located. They are 'builders'. Most builders I am aware of travel extensively for jobs. I was told by this company that Graton was too far for them to consider doing work. That being the case, NO, I will not use them for future jobs.

took about 2 weeks to update the bathroom

It is not possible to overstate how well this project went, start to finish, and how professional, skilled and personable Chuck and his staff were every step of the way. Chuck stayed in touch during the planning, provided helpful information regarding appliances (I needed to purchase 2) and such details as under cabinet lighting choices (also new addition to kitchen). The project itself, from demolition to final hardware installation, proceeded precisely as outlined. His written proposal was complete and detailed, and updated in writing as well, with clear explanations. (It turned out, e.g., that the kitchen already had a dedicated electrical line for a dishwasher, which I didn't know, so cost of this installation was deleted. Every addition or deletion was clear and noted in writing.) His work and that of the staff he supervised on site was precise, detail-oriented and clearly skilled. There were delays and changes necessitated by big-box store errors, etc., which Chuck took in stride, and worked with these changes and delays patiently, keeping in touch throughout. He was very helpful in keeping track of what needed correction, and following up with me as it proceeded. He was also responsive and patient with questions and design change requests I made along the way. He made every effort to accommodate my schedule as well, and went the extra mile (or ten) given all these delays not of his doing, to achieve final completion of the project after hours one last weekend. A superb experience in every way. It was a pleasure to work with Chuck and all his staff at Majestic Builders. His work and work ethic are exemplary, unmatched. I recommend him to everyone I know in need of contracting services.

Great service. Would definitely use them again should the need arise

Chuck was efficient, reliable, and cooperative. Quality of work very good.

The work product of Chuck Hinaman who is Majestic Builders is as close to perfection as anyone in the trade can be. In 1997 he added a second story onto our house: every detail was taken care of and he never had to be called back for any follow up work. His work ethic and consideration cannot be spoken of highly enough. If he was a preacher, he would be the Pope. This year we were looking for someone to replace our bathroom floor and since I had retired since 1997, I thought Chuck was probably retired as well and turned to Angie's List for a recommendation. Who did I find but Majestic Builders still working. Without hesitation, we contacted Chuck and told him we wanted him to do our floor and we were not interested in getting other bids. He came by and completed his detailed bid and fit us into his schedule. The floor was completed very quickly and is as solid as a rock. We intend to use Chuck's services in the future until he decides to retire himself. I could go into detail about the job he did on our bathroom floor as well as the second story he built by himself, but we have been living with the work he did for over 15 years and we are as happy now as we were when he finished our addition. What more can anyone say about another person's work. If you want quality work, a trustworthy businessman, and, one who considers details to be of utmost importance give Majestic Builders a call. (No, I am not related to Chuck or his family - just a very satisfied customer).

I can only give the highest recommendation possible to Chuck Hinaman of Majestic Builders who remodeled my kitchen to perfection. His bid was fair and even with other bids I received, but the ideas he brought to my basic plan, the practical suggestions he offered, and his overall aesthetic sensibilities, ie he has good taste, combined with the fact that he is pleasant and easy going convinced me to go with him. He provided me with a detailed spreadsheet of all the costs and most extraordinary, he kept to his hid bid to the very end. No added padding. But best of all is his expert workmanship from the construction of the cabinets, (he is one of a very few who has the experience and was willing to work with putting IKEA cabinets together) to the finish carpentry. I had a kitchen remodel in another home I owned and had to put up with the contractor running several jobs at once, leaving his assistant to do important work, like tile countertops. Not with Chuck. He does all the work himself. His assistant is just that, someone who assists him. His long experience at doing remodels shows in both the quality of his work and his anefficient use of time.

Chuck's proposal consisted of a very detailed spreadsheet. It was thoughtful and complete. Each line item was priced reasonably and the total was reasonable as well. I would have hired him if that was the bottom line. However, after pricing labor and materials (which clearly included profit built in) and adding them up he added over 40% of the total cost for "profit", and 2 types of "overhead". This threw the budget completely off the chart. When I asked about it he explained that this is for all his other business costs such as vehicle, various insurances, telephone etc. After I inquired about this he said that these were "standard" in the area and then offered to reduce all these "overheads" to a total of 30%. The reduced price was still not competitive. Nobody else that I spoke to thought this method of pricing was reasonable, let alone "standard." I must add that Chuck comes across as professional and honest person. I have no reason to doubt that he would have done a good job had I hired him. He is just hurting himself by using his very unreasonable pricing method.

We bought a house in Santa Rosa for our retirement. We live and work in Fresno.There were a number of changes we wanted to make before we move in. We were very worried about working with a contractor 240 miles away. We were very lucky to have Chuck on our list of potential contractors. His quotation for the original project, renovating and upgrading the master bathroom, was presented on a very professional spreadsheet. After meeting with him, we had no hesitation in accepting his quote. Chuck constantly upgraded his spreadsheets so that we were constantly aware of the costs we were incurring. He was very responsive to emails and rarely let more than a few hours go by without getting in touch. We quickly found that Chuck was a reliable, skilled contractor who took pride in his work. He was very flexible and, as we dithered about some changes, he took them in his stride. He also made suggestions in a way that did not give offense and allowed us to accept or change them without hurt feelings. We had contracted a painter to paint the exterior of the house who did a great job. We also wanted to paint the house inside. Chuck offered a quote but made it clear that he would not be hurt if we awarded the contract to someone whose primary expertise was painting as they were often able to price projects more competitively. The painter won the contract, but Chuck worked very amicably with him and they helped each other out when needed. You will have to go a long, long way if you want a contractor with the expertise, care, honesty and integrity who moves projects to completion by deadline and at a reasonable cost. Moreover he is very personable and very easy to work with. Chuck is a jewel!

Chuck was wonderful, professional and answered all of our questions. We will definitely hire him for any future construction projects, big or small.

The job went well as usual. I give him the keys to my home as he is very trustworthy. Chuck is very professional and very busy which is a sign of an excellent contractor. I do let him know ahead of time, knowing his business is busy, allowing him time to squeeze me in. I am willing to wait for Majestic Builders to do my work if needed. You will be a satisfied customer when you hire Majestic Builders of Rohnert Park:)

The availability of the contractor was excluded further out from the work that we needed to be done. The guy had a project till the end of September and we wanted the work to be started before that. There was a little with the response. We had to reschedule the appointment because he couldn't make it to the first appointment.

I liked his punctuality, responsiveness, and detailed quote. He offered some suggestions and was just very professional.

Everything went very smoothly according to quoted price and schedule. Chuck is extremely responsive to requests and questions. We will be using him in the future for additional projects.

This was a relatively small project, but a significant investment for us. Chuck made the process as painless as possible. He listened carefully to our goals and explained different options for meeting them. He was available for guidance as we selected materials and he picked up, stored, and delivered everything we purchased. The amount of time required for the project was almost exactly what he estimated. His cost estimate was also very accurate because he uses an Excel spreadsheet that makes it possible for both him and us to track exactly what everything will cost. We felt that, although he makes his livelihood through providing these services, he was on our "side' in creating the result we desired at a cost we could afford. He and his assistant were pleasant to have in the house for the days they worked here, cleaned up at the end of each work day, and left the work area spotless when the project was completed.

Chuck is the best contractor experience I've ever had. Unlike the other contractors, he wrote out everything that we wanted done, gave us an estimate on how long it'd take and how much it would cost. While I was still showing him what we needed done, he fixed one item and told us how to do another ourselves. Amazing! While I had to wait 6 weeks for him to be available, he was worth it. He comes when he says he will, brings the right materials and tools, stays calm amid chaos, and does high quality work. He even remembers do to things that we forgot we asked for. Once I save up a few bucks, I'll have him back to work on my kitchen and bathrooms!

No work was actually performed

Chuck was very efficient and a pleasure to work with. He shopped for different door options for me and explained his work very well.

While he was doing the work, he noticed that the front door lock was not operating correctly and repaired that at no charge. He left everything as clean or cleaner than he found it. We found him to be pleasant, efficient and reliable. We will definitely call him again.
