"We chose Sami and Sons over 3 other contractors we interviewed with to remodel our bathroom, and we couldn't be happier. After meeting with Abel and Sami himself we discussed a very reasonable cost estimate for the work that needed to be done. Abel even took us out shopping to several tile and home improvement stores to fan our imaginations of what could be possible for our new bathroom. Throughout the entire process the staff from their front office to their onsite project manager Paul were always very responsive and helpful. This was our first major remodel and laborers were very knowledgeable about creating the bathroom we wanted to achieve while keeping up to date with building codes and city permits. Mario and Erick always asked us questions on how we wanted details in the bathroom to turn out. Always gave us suggestions when we were clueless, and always advised us properly when choosing fixtures and other materials for the build. It was very helpful and reassuring that the managers used the BuilderTrend scheduling app so we knew what tasks were to be completed and on what days so my wife and I could plan things ahead of time. There was a miscommunication about the work at one point, but once we were able to talk to the project manager and other managers on the job they were able to resolve the issue very quickly and to our satisfaction. Scheduling work per day could've been more efficient, but overall we loved the results and our bathroom turned out exactly the way we envisioned and we've been loving it ever since it's completion. Thanks again Sami and Sons for making our dream come true."

"Karen was tremendously helpful in guiding us through the process of ordering cabinets for our whole home remodel. We would have been lost without her. Not fully understanding how forward-thinking you must be when designing the spaces for your home, Karen went on and beyond to show us a variety of design options to meet our needs. She was also extremely patient and kind with us while we were making our decisions, all the while, keeping us aware of timing deadlines and discount options. Whenever we had questions, she was there to assist us. She answers her phone and responds to messages in a timely fashion. My husband and I felt very well taken care of and that she was excellent regarding service and support. I would highly recommend Karen and Kitchen Design Services."

"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."

"Exceptional Kitchen Remodel Experience I recently had the pleasure of working with Pat on the remodel of my kitchen, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the entire experience and the final result. Pat truly went above and beyond in every aspect of the project. From the moment we began discussing my ideas and preferences, Pat displayed an incredible work ethic. He took the time to listen carefully and understand my vision for the space. His attention to detail and commitment to delivering a design that aligned perfectly with my needs was evident throughout the process. Pat made sure to keep me updated on the progress, explaining design choices and suggesting alternatives when needed. One thing that stood out was how Pat handled challenges and setbacks. He navigated unexpected issues well, always keeping me informed and involved in the decision-making process to the extent I wanted to be. It's rare to find someone who can tackle problems head-on while maintaining such a positive and friendly attitude. Pat also effortlessly incorporated my requests and suggestions into the design, showing remarkable flexibility and a genuine desire to bring my vision to life. His creative approach and willingness to explore different options truly set him apart. Finally, Pat has curated an impressive pool of skilled folks he can pull in to execute on the vision. From Frank, who was a cabinet installation superstar, to Abby the plumber, Margarito the electrician, and Edgar, who could not have done a better job at the final painting work - all true professionals. In summary, I recommend Pat highly. His work ethic, problem-solving skills, positive demeanor, and clear communication created an outstanding design experience. The finished kitchen is a testament to his expertise and dedication. Thanks, Pat, for transforming my kitchen into a space that's not only beautiful but also perfectly functional for my family's needs."

"Working with Kent and his team was so easy. I put off having the work done because I thought it would be stressful, and my vision would be ignored. NOT with Terra Natura! I couldn't be happier with the garden, outdoor kitchen and lighting. A real joy to work with, on time and exactly what I envisioned."

"Good"
