"A few years ago we did a simple remodel of two bathrooms in Menlo Park with FVR. By the time we finished the project we just wanted these folks out of the house. After a few years I felt it was necessary to share our negative experience and how poorly much of the work has held up. Specific issues; 1. Substandard workmanship: a. Heating vent under the house was left unconnected--I was heating our crawlspace and not the bathroom for 6 months. This went undetected until I went under the house for something else! b. Looking in my attic, the electrical work to hookup the bathroom fan is clearly not up to code--junction box is not closed and there are multiple exposed wire splices. c. Gang box for the newly installed light switch is clearly not level and out of square. 2. Numerous examples with low quality finish carpentry: a. Gouge on a newly installed sliding door from the aluminum frame--supposedly fixed then recurred. b. Spackle and paste used to patch the casing around the door frame where it contacts the bathroom tile--looks terrible c. A supposedly 'straight' wall that was rebuilt by FVR, clearly bulges with an obvious curve in the baseboard. d. Sloppy work on the plumbing cover plates for one toilet--half smeared with paint and not attached to the wall properly. 3. Low quality of painting: a. Two slightly different colors of white used in one bathroom with sloppy caulking around the trim. b. Numerous blotches of paint on hardwood floors around the hallway baseboard--the kind that would be easily have been avoided by using masking tape. 4. Sloppy personnel and poor cleanliness: a. Folks were working while we were on vacation, and we came home late in the evening to find construction debris scattered in our front yard including razor blades, paint on our front walk (where stains can still be seen). b. For a year afterwards we found trash (food wrappers & empty bottles) behind the bushes or buried in the shrubs. c. I saw workers 'free handing' a circular saw for trim and baseboard--where one guy would hold the boards and another would use the circular saw. For sure not a safe or effective option--just glad nobody was hurt at our house by these substandard practices. Nobody could be bothered to bring a jobsite saw. I will add that we pointed out most of these issues to the company reps while they were happening-- most responses 'Just an honest mistake' and/or 'We will send somebody over to fix that'. At a certain point you stop trusting anyone from the company and just want these 'less-than-competent' folks out of the house. The customer shouldn't have to check all these details--especially about heating/plumbing/electrical work. Would not ever trust this company again to touch our house."

"One of the biggest benefits is the fact that they have both the home design and the building aspects of the project. The owner of the business is very creative and even after the design is completed, he still brings improvments to the design as it goes along!"

"The entire team was very professional, kept everything clean and neat, and they met the time frame even though it was an extremely difficult job."

"Benny's crew was amazing. They remodeled my Kitchen, Bathroom, Painted, and removed a 15 year old rug and put in new floor.They are very easy to work with. They explain to work done for the day and get the job done quick and with great quality. Would recommend them to anyone."

"I was very happy with the work they did. They did an excellent job, were always on top of everything and made sure I was ok with the results."

"We couldn’t be more thrilled with our kitchen remodel by Karol Herman Construction! From the start, Karol was one of the first to respond, and his professionalism stood out immediately. He was respectful of our time, took the time to listen to our needs, and made sure we were always on the same page throughout the process. The remodel was seamless and went exactly as planned. Karol worked around our schedule, always followed up on questions at the end of each day, and ensured everything was on track. His attention to detail is second to none—he is truly a perfectionist at his trade. Plus, he was extremely conscious of our living spaces, keeping everything clean and organized. We are so pleased with the results and highly recommend Karol Herman Construction to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and thoughtful contractor! Check out our dream Farmhouse style kitchen!"

"We decided to remodel our entire hone. We bought the home in 1998 and have never done any major work to it. We needed the kitchen, both bathrooms, flooring and painting. We wanted just one company to handle it all. After interviewing a few we selected Cal Green Remodeling. We had the pleasure of working with Shai. He brought a lot of great ideas that really made the process go smoothly for us. He handled all the permits and the dealings with the city. The team's attention to details was impressive. Shai was very attentive and involved. Our home is absolutely a work of art. We would highly recommend this company."

"I contacted Blues Bro back in late 2020 and then we went over some things. In the mean time I contacted other agencies as well trying to see where I get the most value for my money, it was here. I locked in the contract, to the person getting work done please go back and forth and negotiate. I hired them so that I would not have to deal with contractors for my adu.. I was happy on my results and how my project turned out to be. I gave my own rough blueprints to Blues Bros which helped a lot. Project mgn was Sussan and cordinators changed but Renne was very, very helpful. Payments were done in installs of each step the project goes through.. they have an app it tells you when the payment will be done. I bought most of my own stuff, even though they have inventory inhouse. I would recommend to future client, negotiate, read the contract and be upfront with budget and leave a little buffer. Have communication with both contractors and Blues Bros. Be on top of things right away from the first second. Get the number of the contractors and there boss and ask for weekly of daily status of work. If something is off have chat with both Blues and Contractors right away. Everyone has the same end goal, which is to finish the job so stay on top of it."
