California Home Builders did a remodel of our home last summer. Our experience was fantastic every step of the way, including the final product which looks fantastic! From day one, our work with Sean was informative, and organized. He made things easy on us. Since that remodel, Sean has come back to the house whenever we've asked him to, to get his advice on other projects. He certainly has gone above and beyond what we would expect. We are happy with the work they did with our remodel, and continue to be pleased with the personal attention since.

My wife and I recently bought a fixer upper and hired California Home Builders to completely remodel it for us. Buying a house is stressful enough and adding a remodel to it makes it even worse. However, Sean at California Home Builders made the experience amazing. We got weekly email updates on what choices we needed to make and what steps were next. He also gave amazing advice that we would not have thought about.
It felt like they treated our job as if it was their own home. When we have people over we often get compliments about the finishes that were masterminded by the team at CHB. I never hesitate to pass their info along to anyone I know looking to build or remodel!

My wife and I had waited and planned for several years to do some home improvements, and as the time approached we talked with several contractors about what we wanted. Most failed to listen to us and simply told us what we should be doing. California Home Builders, Inc. listened to us and worked within our budget to help us realize our vision.

We had California Home Builders, Inc. do a complete renovation of our master bathroom. Sean was very attentive and responsive throughout the process. At the beginning of the project, he helped us choose materials and fixtures and iterate through design ideas. He gave us a very clear overview of the schedule and a carefully planned estimate of costs.

I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for your exceptional service. I'd like to think we were special but I am sure all your homeowners have the same experience as we do. But I know not all contractors provide the same exceptional service that you do. I thought this morning as I was leaving the house how very lucky we were and not with this just one instance.

In June 2016, we decided to do a complete remodel of our home. The remodel involved knocking out walls, adding a bathroom, updating 3 additional bathrooms, completely redesigning the configuration of the kitchen, new staircase, flooring, crown molding, etc. This was a big project.
