It was a pleasure to work with Better Builders on our bathroom remodel. We did a complete tear-out of one bathroom (even two of the walls and part of the floor) and a few small items in another bathroom. Everyone we worked with was personable and respectful. The design team took extra pains to make sure our plumbing would be up to code, which required a second opinion due to the challenges of our site. Our construction manager, Chris, did an excellent job of rolling with the punches as items were back-ordered and scheduling was tight. We now have a beautiful bathroom with a respectable ceiling height that has plenty of storage for the three teenagers who share it. After my husband tried out the new shower, he said the bathroom made him feel like he was on vacation. We are well pleased!
2025-10-05We hired Better Builders to remodel our lower level living space and the results are better than we could have imagined. From start to finish, Better Builders was professional and easy to work with. The communication was clear, updates were consistent, and they showed up when they said they would. The quality of the work is excellent and the attention to detail really stood out. The demo was down to the studs and concrete. They handled everything from the ground up, including floor leveling, new ductwork, plumbing, and electrical with a new panel. Even when we ran into a couple unexpected issues behind the walls, they explained the options and handled the fixes quickly. They managed the timeline well and coordinated trades superbly. The workmanship is exceptional and the finishing details are what we notice most—edges, trim, paint lines, and overall consistency. They didn’t just ‘get it done’; they made sure we were satisfied with the final walkthrough. One of my favorite parts is the large new window—the amount of natural light it brings in completely changes the space. The layout also came out exactly how I hoped: the small kitchen is the perfect size and works beautifully for day-to-day living, without feeling cramped. Overall, we’re thrilled with the transformation. They delivered a complete, functional, and thoughtfully designed lower level that now feels truly like its own home. We’d recommend them to anyone planning a remodel.
2026-07-29We are very pleased with the overall outcome of our bathroom remodeling project. The BetterBuilders team delivered on all aspects of the project, including both the design phase and execution of the work plan. Pete provided clear guidance up front with respect to the cost, process, and work phases, ensuring that we understood all aspects of the project. Importantly, the work plan included an upfront damage/dust mitigation effort which provided protection to the infrastructure of the house and minimized dust dispersal. While this aspect of the project does not show up in the final product, it was greatly appreciated. The work flow was conducted in a timely manner facilitated by frequent updates provided by Chris Cody and an open line of communication. The subcontractors employed effectively completed their assigned tasks within designated time frames. Importantly, the BetterBuilders team (particularly David and Cooper) provided valuable support throughout the entire project, often bridging efforts of the individual subcontractors. On multiple occasions, we pointed out minor issues to David and he graciously (and with a smile) corrected these to our satisfaction in real time. The design phase of the project, spearheaded by Mayra, provided an opportunity for us to view and select options which we would not have considered on our own and incorporated desired safety enhancements. As a result, the cabinetry, tile, and fixtures selected are contemporary yet blend seamlessly into the legacy style of the house. The quality of the items employed helped to create an outstanding visual appearance, highlighted by the craftsmanship of Norberto Garcia’s guest bathroom tile and curbless shower installation. From beginning to end of the project, the BB team was polite, courteous and a pleasure to work with.
2026-04-03We had a very good experience with Better Builders on a full basement remodel including the addition of a new bathroom with shower. They were very open, honest, and personable from the start. They were very helpful in challenging our choices and decisions on our project - ultimately making the outcome even better and more to our liking. We had a very basic basement with 70s style paneled walls, concrete floor, and open ceiling. We used Better Builders to add a wine closet, nice family room, a workout room, a pantry, utility room, and a new bathroom. They worked well with our designer to get to our plans finalized including a spec sheet. They were outstanding at managing their subcontractors, permits, inspections, and general contracting work. Their communication throughout the whole process was excellent - their use of recurring weekly updates was very beneficial. The final product is outstanding and quality is exceptional. We would not hesitate to hire them for any future projects.
2025-12-08Working with the Better Builders team was fantastic. They provided white glove service to make my remodel a reality. From the earliest ideation to the final sign off they provided clear communication about timelines, options, total pricing and everything in between. I was even able to live in my place with my big dogs during the entire renovation as they kept the site spotless enough for me to walk through in the evenings/mornings! I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to do some major changes to their place, I could not be happier with my outcome!
