"The job was done right the first time. Because of the quality of the drawings, the county approval for the permit process was approved over the counter. Also, the price was right!"

"Alexia is amazing! She went above and beyond to make our home remodel a success. Being able to see the 3D views of our home was extremely helpful in visualizing the entire concept. Alexia is professional and has so many great ideas that we never had thought of. I highly recommend Alexia with any project. We will be working with her again soon."

"If we could attach less than one star to this business, we would do that. We contracted with Ryken Building to do a remodel on our home. We hired Ryken because it was a new business and we wanted to give a new business an opportunity. Rykenâ s website ( https://www.rykenbuilding.com) says that he has a team . This is not the case. He is a sole proprietor with no employees. He has no long-standing relationships with competent sub-contractors, and we suffered because of this. The project suffered delays and issues from the outset. Even though Ryken says on his website that he has experience with the building permit process, this is not the case. He had no familiarity with the County building permit process and our permit was delayed several months because of mistakes made in the filing process. We finally had to get involved and made many trips to the County offices ourselves before permit was finally secured. Ryken hired several contractors who did sub-standard work. His electrician cut wires to our garage and caused the external lighting to stop functioning. We finally had to hire our own electrician to correct the work. He hired a flooring subcontractor to install engineered hardwood we purchased, and the subcontractor did not follow the install instructions that came with the materials. The flooring has unsightly nail holes in several locations. He hired a painting subcontractor who left blemish spots throughout the house which we have had to correct. Ryken himself made many mistakes which he had to correct. He mis-measured the shower surround and a $1000 glass shower door we purchased did not fit. He purchased a replacement door of inferior quality that does not fit properly. As a part of the remodel, we added a half bath. When Rykenâ s plumber installed the new drains, he removed HVAC ducting without a plan to replace it. The only solution was for us to install a new HVAC system at a cost of $21,000. The remodel also included replacing all the windows and sliding glass doors in the house. Because Ryken has no team to help with glass window and doors that weighed 500 pounds, we had to hire our own window installer even though Rykenâ s bid included the work. This added $12,000 to the project cost. The real nightmare occurred at the project conclusion where Ryken refused to finish items that were required to be completed in the project. Ryken refused to finish the work and abandoned the project. We finally had to find someone else to do this work at our own expense. Our contract had a retainage clause in which we were allowed to withhold payment to cover unfinished work that we had to do at our own expense. We withheld a small amount as we were allowed to do in the Agreement. In spite of this, Ryken has threatened to place a Mechanics Lien on our home. We had to hire an attorney to get him to back off. We have filed a complaint with the CSLB. If you want your project to run smoothly, hire someone else."

"My journey began when I met Mario from Be Home Remodeling. I started with just one bathroom remodel, and I was immediately impressed by the professionalism, attention to detail, and high-quality craftsmanship he and his team delivered. The communication throughout the project was clear and consistent, and they made sure every step met my expectations. Since then, I?ve trusted Be Home Remodeling with additional projects and have always been more than satisfied with the results. Highly recommend Mario and his team to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality construction work"

"It went well. They consulted me to assure I was happy with the trimming. The clean-up was acceptable. The city of San Jose picks up all the green waste, but is a little fussy about the debris piles. I had to restack some of the piles to meet waste company's requirements."

"They were so helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I made the process so much more enjoyable. And I look forward to working with them on future projects."
