I am thrilled with the quality of work that was done in my remodel. Scott was very responsive and the sub contractors did a wonderful job. Only issue was delay in painting while trying to schedule painter because they were so busy. It delayed some of the project. However, the painting job of the cabinet was excellent and worth the wait.!! I would definitely refer Ceto Builders. Yvonne Riggan

Ceto Builders is a small Reno company. They have a team of external contractors - all who do really good work. This saves trying to find different trades people for different jobs. You know that they will get the right person for the job. The downside is that they are often busy, so there can be delays. Scott at Ceto is all about making sure the job is done correctly. We are remodelling a 2400sq ft condo and have used Ceto for all of it. We have been very happy with the work done and will use them again.

Scott and his team did a wonderful job. Any concerns i had were quickly and efficiently dealt with. In fact, we are so happy with the work that we are having Scott and his team perform a major remodel of our house early in 2019. We are adding a second floor to the house and doubling its size. We have every confidence the work will be performed to the highest standards.
Description of Work: Windows replaced and French Doors installed. We also had a wall removed and electrical modified. Lastly we had a tankless water heater and gas lines installed. Plus other small jobs done.

Response from CETO Builders Inc
Very disappointed to get any review from a member of whom I've never met, or worked with. Angie's list offers a really great service. One thing though that is a disservice, is allowing reviews that are based on zero interaction. I strongly disagree that reviews are allowed without any actual interaction. This review forum is to allow for clients to review actual experiences. As we are all aware, emails, texts, and phone calls can get overlooked and sometimes even don't get to their intended recipient. I do my very best to respond and look at every potential project. Sometimes though, I'm not able to do so in the time needed for some potential clients.

We chose Ceto Builders because the owner and his assistant do the majority of the work themselves. They did an outstanding job. All sub-contractors they used were excellent as well. Everyone was respectful of our home and our schedule. The work was completed as promised, on time and on budget. It just was overall a very positive experience and we would not hesitate to hire them again.

CETO Builders were wonderful to work with. Scott and his crew were great. We honestly have nothing but good to say about working them. Scott was always great about letting us know when they would be arriving, how the project was progressing, and keeping us informed every step of the way. We were very happy with all the sub-contractors Scott used also. Our daughter was graduating from the University of Nevada Reno and he made sure we met our goal of being able to use that new room for her graduation party at our home. We highly recommend CETO Builders.

Scott and his crew were a pleasure to work with. The finished project looks great and the work was top-notch. The original bid was a little higher than I expected, but given the quality of the work and the professionalism of all involved, it was a good value. I would definitely hire CETO Builders again.

Scott was very professional and gave excellent advice to the design throughout the remodel. Quality people tend to be busy and Scott had to juggle several other projects at once. This is not unusual. He communicated well in advance when he would come by and showed up on time. I made a couple of design changes and he was able to accommodate them without an interruption in schedule. I would choose CETO again for another project.

Both projects were quality work! We were very happy with the first project - It's amazing how well they were able to match the wood on the new kitchen island with the existing cabinet color. It looks great and gives us the open-concept we were wanting. Our large addition is the envy of the block! It doesn't look like an addition as many do. Everything matches perfectly. You'd never know the whole house wasn't built all at once. We LOVE the interior which includes a new master bedroom, bath, game room and den. It's beautifully done. Scott and his team are professional, leave the house orderly when they finish for the day and make sure that we have exactly what we want. One of the things I like best is that they are very good about staying in contact. That's super-important to me! Another truly important fact is that Scott doesn't waste our money. He's very good about making sure we get what we want but is always quick to suggest ways that we might be able to save a buck or two. I will never hire anyone else to do remodeling/construction work in our home. Ceto Builders is friendly, fair, timely and responsive.
Description of Work: We've had Ceto Builders do two fairly large projects for us - and we have them busy on a third right now. The first project was removal of a pantry and replacement with a large kitchen Island. The second project was the conversion of a three-car garage (plus an additional 200 sq. feet) into living space, which nearly doubled the square footage of our home and the addition of a four-car garage.

All the work Scott has done, and is doing for me now, is excellent. He communicates every step of the way, has a good temperament (I've had some contractors who are grumpy) and everything turns out like I expect it to. I've had no surprises or disappointments with his work or any of this subcontractors. He doesn't promise what he can't deliver - I guess that makes him honest and transparent. He services his work too. Once Scott was at my house, don't remember why, and I mentioned that my back door was sticking. He fixed it - and this was years after he had installed it. Things like that made him the logical selection to do my latest project. We just have a good working relationship. That's important to me.
Description of Work: Scott remodeled my kitchen, bath, closets and floors in my 1951 home. That was over 5 years ago. He is now building me an 240 sq ft addition.

Called and left a message on January 13th about a kitchen remodel. Scott called back on January 30th and left a message. He stated he just found my message, would be too busy to help but to contact him in future if needed. Seriously? Why would I even consider contacting this business again, knowing it would take 17 days to get a response! He could be one of the best in the area, but will never know as a prompt return call wasn't a priority. Gave a grade of "D" at least he did call back in the same month.

Response from CETO Builders Inc
Sorry to hear that you feel that way. Yes, I somehow missed your voicemail and I responded much later to your initial call than I would've liked. I do try and get back with potential clients as soon as possible. I personally return potential clients calls, and meet with all potential clients, I do not have a staff who does this for me. I prefer to keep it this way, as personally meeting and speaking with potential clients is important to me. As a result of this, sometimes I am busy and not able to meet and call every potential client in their desired timeline. I am always in constant communication with the clients I work with, great communication is crucial for project success. I'm glad to hear you state "he could be one of the best in the area". I feel that part of the reason for this success, is the attention paid to my clients and their needs. I am however, disappointed to receive a review and grade having never spoken with, met with, or let alone hired by this member. CETO Builders will continue to strive to achieve client satisfaction, and be reviewed by those clients of whom we work with.

CETO Builders have done work for us over the last 10 years and have delivered a professional solution every time. CETO Builders associates with a small select set of very good subcontractors who delivery quality services. The latest job that CETO Builders completed for us was a total kitchen and bathroom renovation with a cost exceeding $100,000. Their estimates were fair and the finished contract was within budget save for a change order. Scott (the owner) is an experienced craftsman with many years of contracting experience in the Reno area. He takes customer satisfaction very seriously and will do anything to make the customer happy.

Both projects went great! While on the job, Scott's team was very communicative and responsive to any issues and changes in design. Scott and team provided thoughtful suggestions regarding tile choices, stain colors, etc. At this moment, we are working with Scott and his team to start a HUGE kitchen renovation. With such a large job, I would not trust any other contractor.
Description of Work: Scott and his team have been the sole contractors assisting us with an entire home renovation - room by room. To date, his team has completely renovated our living room, main living space, and office, and we plan to start the kitchen remodel in the next 60 days. We could not be happier with his professionalism and quality of work. It also helps that his prices are comparable to other estimates we've received.

CETO Builders (Owner Scott) is a great General Contractor. I was a Project Manager for a Fortune 50 company for 35 Years and have worked with many contractors during that time. Scott is among the best I have seen. The true character of a contractor is when changes or problems occur on a project, as they always do, and Scott was able to handle this without additional problems or change-orders to the project. All the work was completed to our satisfaction and on-time. If you need a contractor Scott should be your choice. If I need additional projects Scott is my go to contractor.

A few days prior to this review, we were asked to do more work by the client at the residence, of which we politely declined. Overall a very unpleasant experience for my crew, as well as myself, working for this client.

Scott was courteous and professional as were all of his employees. First project was the indoor remodeling and I liked his work so much I asked him back the following spring to build a deck. His woodworking is pristine. All work was timely and within budget. Scott is upfront and honest about all costs. The initial quote is what I paid. Plus, he tries to recycle old cabinets and other odds and ends from the project and donates to Habitat for Humanity. I would definitely use him again and have recommended him to friends.

Scott was punctual, professional and very honest. I called him regarding these things I needed fixed. Scott is the only contractor I will call. I used him for the remodel of my home when I initially purchased it. Ceto builders was amazing. Scott's crew came in and did a fantastic job. I had used other contractors in the past, however after a friend recommended Ceto builders I have never looked back. Scott's work has always surpassed all my expectations. I highly recommend using Ceto Builders to everyone and anyone who expects nothing but the best.

We bought a house that had the people had started doing work inside that didn't complete it, so we got a good deal on the house and then they came in finished up the inside, and then in May they painted the outside. The experience was great. They are very personable and they were willing to work with us. Scott was willing to work with us. We have his phone number; we could call him whenever we wanted and to see how things are doing. He just took care of everything. All the people he had because he was the contractor, and all of the subcontractors were really good. They were fair. The things was for our loan that we got which is a purchase with a construction loan, you have to have only one contractor and then the contractor is responsible for all the subcontractors. He is the one that got lined up all the people and did it, so whatever the price was fine. He knew what he had to say with them for our loan, and he did and everything got that, so that was good. He is very good.
