From planning, to budgeting, to tracking and explaining the many construction phases, SCB was extremely well organized, knowledgeable, and worked closely with us to make the vision we had for our home into a reality. They are prompt, thorough and execute to precision standards. We were not present for much of our project, but they communicated well with us to keep us informed. All the subcontractors brought in were experienced, professional and did top notch work. > > Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. So-Cal Builders exceeded our expectations and we have an amazing home to show for it. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend them for any project. **★★★★★ — angienstout, Feb. 2018** > So Cal Builders completed a renovation of our la Quinta condo while we were living in Kansas. They did so in an incredibly tight time frame and we LOVE the results! Mike and his team are completely professional and I will sing their praises to anyone who will listen! **★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2017** > Mike Roberts and his team at So-Cal completed my renovation on time and on budget. Mike listened carefully to my wants and needs, had great attention to detail and was always cheerful and accommodating. He has great tradespeople and insists on high quality workmanship. The site was always kept clean. The whole renovation experience was a positive one. Many thanks Mike! **★★★★★ — Alana Hedley, Dec. 2017** > So Cal Builders are true professionals. They can create your dreams on time and on budget. Mike's crew are the best. Always willing to make you happy even when you are super picky!! **★★★★★ — Dwayne Newton, March 2017** > Mike and his guys did excellent work on our house. I really appreciated the customer service they gave us throughout the project. They finished on time and were a pleasure to work with. They completely delivered on our requests and were really easy to work with. This is not common in the construction business and I really appreciated it. **★★★★★ — Brad Miller, Jan. 2017** > We purchased our Mission Hills - Legacy - home in July and were introduced to Mike Roberts of SoCal Builders by our realtor - who knew we were planning a major remodel of the home. Mike took our ideas and back of napkin plans and returned to us an incredible finished product. Through his leadership and the superb team of sub-contractors he has assembled over many years - our best goals were realized. The project far surpassed our expectations. From project accounting to timeline management - we have been amazed by the level of detail Mike and his team provide. This was a "major" remodel in every sense of the word. At the end of the job - we have had exactly zero disagreements or disappointments. That's quite a compliment - especially when you consider we live 1200 miles away and only visited the job-site 3 or 4 times - from beginning to end! Great job Mike and team!!! Thank you for what you have done for our family. **★★★★★ — Daniel Solomon, Dec. 2016** > We have now had So Cal do 3 remodels for us over the last 13 years. Each time the job has been completed to our complete satisfaction. > The most recent job was completed this fall and include: new flooring, a complete kitchen make over, a new slider, paint, lighting and a complete master bath make over. **★★★★★ — rj\_morris3, Nov. 2016** > I have had the pleasure of working with Mike Roberts of SoCal Builders on two large clubhouse remodel projects with a combined budget of over $1 million. His experiance and attention to the process helped bring the costs in under budget. I look forward to working with him in the future. **★★★★★ — csgroup1, Oct. 2016** > SoCal Builders has provided me and my companies excellent service and quality craftsmanship an all projects big and small at a competitive price. I have used them repeatedly on many occasions. They are extremely professional and keep clean and professional workplace. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — kingly13, Oct. 2016** > We were pleasantly surprised! We've had bad experiences with painting crews, but not this one. Everyone was professional, courteous and knew what they were doing. The crew did a great job! We'd definitely recommend them. **★★★★★ — grood44, Oct. 2016** > I found Mike Roberts and his company to be the best contractor I have ever worked with in the last 20 years. I would highly recommend him to anyone! **★★★★★ — David Bahnsen, Oct. 2016** > Mike and everyone at So-Cal Builders were incredible to work with.
