"I hired B.H. Developers to do concrete demolition and then repouring around our entire house after a foundation repair. Samuel went above and beyond to deliver a product that we absolutely in love with. A beautiful new retaining wall with steps, new steps on the side of the house, driveway, and a path with new steps in the front yard. All with integrated lighting."

"Great communication, very professional and I feel I received excellent advice on how to deal with the hillside that was pushing against the fence, voila I now have a concrete retaining wall to guard against the natural movement of the earth in addition to a beautifully crafted redwood fence. The new gate reflects a true craftsman. Ron George got the job done ahead of schedule too! I would highly recommend Babylon Gardens."

"We met with a few companies regarding our kitchen project before we ended up choosing Shai with Cal Green Remodeling. We picked him because of the knowledge he had and confidence he gaves us. He provided us with great ideas and a detailed estimate and timeline of what we could expect. His price was not very different than the others, however, his presentation was. Some of the other companies missed the mark on the details, which for us was very important considering this project was not cheap. Shai, had an answer to all of our questions and he offered us realistic expectations. Upon completion of our kitchen, we must say, we are super pleased with the results. We especially love the new island we added. Everything came out well and clean. The workers were efficient and kept the area clean during the renovation process. Shai was also readily available if we had any questions. I only wished we have used him for our bathroom remodeling project last year. Iâ m sure we will be using them again in the future!"

"Tomer and Roberto have done a great job remodeling my entire house. The house has been completely transformed. It looks beautiful and functional. I appreciate most the quality they delivered but also the fact that they were always polite, accommodating and responsive to my concerns. This helps a lot as house renovation can be stressful with many big decisions to make. In terms pricing and pay schedule and scope of work they were fair and kept to the letter. I would recommend S&L for any remodeling project."

"Excellent Architect We hired SSA, Inc. for the exterior and interior remodel of our Autobody shop building. It is a challenging project since the building was never upgraded to be current code compliant. There are existing items to be legalized as well. Sharmila, Owner/Principal Architect is very knowledgable, experienced and familiar with city process, current building and fire codes. She is very personable, creative and suggested solutions and design that are both effecient for our setup as well as acceptable by the City. She and her competent, effecient team of engineers delivered design plans, renderings, drawing sets in a fast paced timeline so we do not have lags in our operations. SSA, Inc and team have expereince working with the building departments in all cities in the bay area. They communicate promptly and effectively with plan checkers and building officials. She is a fantastic architect who always works for the best outcome for her client. We are very thankful to have hired her and highly recommend her companys services for your remodel, addition or new construction project."

"They are unmatched in their knowledge of this subject. I needed a retaining wall built, and Yard Creations Landscape addressed the task with accuracy and creative creativity. They meticulously designed and carried out the project, producing a retaining wall that is both aesthetically pleasing and structurally robust. 10/10"

HomeAdvisor makes it easy to connect with pros near you. You can read reviews, get quotes and book appointments all in one place.
Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.
