The project was not an easy one and his crew had some ailments making the timeline a bit off but all in all we are grateful for the job he and his team did on our home! The tile work is gorgeous - thanks Robert! **★★★★★ — abby\_seitelman, July 2018** > Abraham and his team are more than anything you could ever hope for when it comes to contracting! We were impressed from the initial meeting and our expectations were exceeded immensely. Abraham is creative, listens to your desires, is communicative, honest, reachable at any time, follows the budget and makes the project seamless. Abraham always has a solution before presenting any issue to you. From start to finish, Abraham was there to make sure the project was perfect. His team > is impeccable. We love walking into our home everyday and living in the vision we had hoped to have one day. **★★★★★ — Jacqueline Angius, Nov. 2016** > Abraham was perfect from start to finish of our kitchen remodel. His guys cleaned up everyday and tried hard to keep the mess contained. Abraham addressed all my concerns promptly and beyond my expectations. You can't go wrong if you decide to go with Paradigm Building for you construction needs. **★★★★★ — Bay Area Waterscapes, Oct. 2016** > My wife and I hired Paradigm to fix problems with our home. We went through the house and had paradigm Building fix and upgrade transitions that were not done well along with their plan for phases to continue to upgrade the house. The kitchen will be next and we appreciate the attention to detail and the workmanship that this company provides. > > Thanks, > > C and S **★★★★★ — Andi, Oct. 2016** > Abraham acted as the General Contractor for our home renovation from August - October 2016 following the purchase of our new home. He worked with us to identify our vision and style and then helped create the home of our dreams. For the first phase of our home renovation, we decided to tear down the walls surrounding the existing kitchen and create an amazing great room, consisting of the kitchen, a dining area and a living room; all open concept. He brought in skilled subcontractors to support the effort and was meticulous about ensuring that every component of our renovation was exactly what we had wanted and more. He brought a positive attitude, even when faced with challenges, and very effectively managed his team(s) on the project. In the end, Abraham helped us create the living space we had only dreamed of, from incredible cabinets and counters to beautiful hardware and unique features (such as our reclaimed wood framing on our island and surrounding the appliances, as well as showcasing the fireplace, which also received a significant facelift. We could not be happier with Abraham and the outcome of our project. We finished pretty close to the exact time that Abraham had predicted and while we did go a little over on our budget, Abraham was very open about sharing ideas that could reduce our cost along the way. now that the project is done, I come home every day and am in utter disbelief that this beautiful place is our home. We feel fortunate to have found Abraham and look forward to continuing the renovation of our Master Bedroom/Office as the next phase of our project. Abraham is a delight to be around, ALL of the time, and is always a positive, shining personality. This is extremely important in big renovations, particularly if you are living in the home as the work is being done (as we were). We absolutely adore Abraham, we love our home and the end result and would recommend his unconditionally to anyone considering a contractor to manage their renovation project. We guarantee you will not be disappointed!!! **★★★★★ — Bay Area Waterscapes, Jan. 2016** > My wife and I bought a home in Walnut Creek back in 2012. We needed a good contractor to help with a new deck, and throughout the insides of the house we needed many different areas worked on and we also needed the finish work to look just like when it was built in the 50's. Abraham has an incredible eye for not only details but design as well. Knowing what works and his ability to get the job done and help us understand along the way different aspects was very valuable. If you want someone who has your best interest in mind, I think he is the best pick! **★★★★★ — Drafting Cafe Architects, Sept. 2015** > We are a residential architecture firm, and have worked with Paradigm building on several projects. All of the projects have been smaller scale residential remodels and additions, and have turned out great. Paradigm offers professionalism, quality, and value which is a hard combination to come by. Paradigm is on our short list of builders we recommend to our clients. **★★★★★ — Dream Business Coaching, Sept. 2015** > As a business consultant for contractors I've worked with hundreds of contractors over the years. Abraham is one of the best. His attention to detail and his use of technology make him one of the best in the industry. If you want your project done on time and on budget he's a great choice. Besides that he's a really nice guy and and if you do a project with him you're probably being a good friend. I think Abraham is one of the best choices for architects and homeowners in the bay area. I highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — Aaron Brown, April 2015** > I originally met Abraham through a client of mine who hired him to do a renovation on their Craftsman home in Rockridge. From the first time I met him I was impressed with his customer service and focus on the client, attention to detail and general positive demeanor. > > I have now worked with Abraham on two separate projects and have been very happy with the results. Abraham's pricing is fair, quality is high and he delivers on the commitment - both projects have come in on time (if not ahead of schedule) and within the budget. > > Your relationship with your contractor is critical. You need to be able to have clear and open communication and be able to trust the person. It's also important that your contractor knows what they're doing, and is good at managing their own schedule so they don't screw up yours. > Abraham rocks, is a pleasure to work with and does great work. **★★★★★ — m\_share, April 2015** > While living in Arizona, we purchased a house in Concord, California and set out to do a major remodeling project. We hired an architect to do the plans and then interviewed four potential contractors to do the work. Since we would be living in Arizona and only visiting every 2-3 weeks, it was essential that we hire a contractor who we could trust. Abraham Hopkins of Paradigm Building proved to be that person. He is extremely thorough and has very high standards. Abraham is a stickler for details and wants to make sure that everything is being done right and to my expectations. He is an excellent collaborator and helped establish a true partnership throughout this process. The project involved adding about 210 square feet to a 1380 square foot house and remodeling virtually every room, including new bathrooms and kitchen. The work was essentially done within budget and on time. As our project is now nearing completion we are thrilled with the result and could not give anyone a higher recommendation. **★★★★★ — sarahmarchick, March 2015** > Paradigm did executed a fantastic job on a very complicated 2nd floor bathroom build out. Abraham Hopkins', the Company's Founder, was detail oriented, on task, creative, easy to work with and incredibly communicative. He stayed on budget and schedule. Paradigm continues to be our preferred contractor for new jobs. ## Selected projects - [Modern Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-kitchen-pj-vj~3147842) - Location: Walnut Creek, CA - Photos: 6 - [Modern Farm House - Guest House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farm-house-guest-house-pj-vj~3147835) - Location: Walnut Creek, CA - Photos: 5 - [Eccleston](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eccleston-pj-vj~2424755) - Location: Walnut Creek, CA - Photos: 33 - [San Ramon Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-ramon-custom-home-pj-vj~1305695) - Location: San Ramon, CA - Photos: 5 - [Mid Century Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-pj-vj~1305713) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 2 - Description: Mid Century Modern Living Room and Dinning with fireplace. - [VanRipper](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vanripper-pj-vj~2424696) - Location: Orinda, CA - Photos: 24 - [Fyne](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fyne-pj-vj~2424715) - Location: Walnut Creek, CA - Photos: 16 - [Barclay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barclay-pj-vj~2424750) - Location: Alamo, CA - Photos: 22 - [Black Hawk Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/black-hawk-remodel-pj-vj~1305683) - Location: Blackhawk, CA - Photos: 3 - [Transitional Interior Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-interior-projects-pj-vj~1305729) - Location: Walnut Creek, CA - Photos: 3 - [Curved Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/curved-deck-pj-vj~1062360) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 5 - [Modern Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-bathroom-pj-vj~966816) - Location: Danville, CA - Photos: 5 - [Our Work](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/our-work-pj-vj~723576) - Location: Walnut Creek, CA - Photos: 7 [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/paradigm-building-pfvwus-pf~689039719) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/162460615/list/wish-list) — 1 idea - [Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/128061309/list/cabin) — 35 ideas - [Cabin Windows](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/138212087/list/cabin-windows) — 2 ideas - [Janes Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/37806185/list/janes-bathroom) — 1 idea [See all 4 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/paradigmbuilding) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the tile, where is it from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi there.
