Featured Reviews for New & Custom Home Builders in El Cerrito

Green California Builders Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in El Cerrito
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 20, 2019
“I can't say many wonderful things about Green California Builders. I wanted to built a new home and had no idea where to start in regards to design and construction permits. I heard about these guys because of my friend. I met EZ (the main project manager) after scheduling the appointment. He guided us through the entire process with ideas, advises and material selection. I liked his vision and we agree on the budget. Few days later the project started. After few months, we now have a wonderful new house. I'm so grateful to choose these guys and I recommended them 100%!!!”

Century Bay Builders Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in El Cerrito
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 23, 2020
“We hired Century Bay Builders to remodel 3 bathrooms and a laundry room. I was impressed with them right off the bat - the office called to confirm my appointment for an estimate and our awesome project manager Ariel arrived on time and was very professional, thorough, detail-oriented, and had a good sense of humor (very important when doing any remodel!). He was very responsive to emails and texts and always reassuring when issues came up. His crew (Carlos, Fredy, and Marcos) were courteous, meticulous, and did beautiful work. We were especially amazed at how quickly and cleanly the demo went and appreciative that they kept the dust to a minimum since we were living in the house during the remodel. Everyone always checked with me regularly to make sure I was happy with everything. The finished bathrooms are magazine-worthy and we couldn't be happier. When I'm ready to do my next project I'll be happy to work with Ariel and Century Bay Builders again.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 29, 2022
“Sal and his team did a fantastic job on our kitchen!

Sal was very responsive and a great communicator when we had questions. Also, the team always showed up on time and left our place clean before they left each day, which we really appreciated. We are thrilled with how beautiful it came out, and definitely would use them again.”

Patterson Custom Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in El Cerrito
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 30, 2012
“I have built two homes with Patterson Construction, a duplex in Corona Del Mar and a luxury bay front home on Balboa Island. I chose Patterson Construction after a competitive bid process with many other custom home builders in the area. Both homes were built on time, on budget and to exacting quality standards. I was impressed with the management at Patterson Construction and believe they represent a new generation in custom home building bringing a level of professionalism, flexibility, and ongoing customer support not usually seen in the industry. For example, Patterson Construction's billing and accounting, home specification documentation and warranty binder are comparable to what one would find in a Fortune 500 company, not a local builder. And Patterson Construction's "open book" policy provided a level of trust and honesty that made my decisions about design/construction modifications easy to make with full confidence. And finally, what truly impressed me about Patterson Construction was their commitment to stand behind their homes by providing continued professional, timely support for both warranty and on going maintenance issues long after my homes were completed. I highly recommend that anyone planning to build a new home, put Patterson Construction on their short list.”
MacLeod Design & Construction
New & Custom Home Builders in El Cerrito
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 12, 2016
“MacLeod D&C just finished rebuilding our house after a fire completely destroyed it. Other than taking longer than predicted, the project was a total success. We love the result. The design was not easy to build - odd angles all over the place and built over a swale that required a complex foundation. It took a lot of care and patience on Ian's part and the skills of several highly competent subcontractors to pull it off. Ian's professionalism, skill, and good humor made the project work - and kept us sane in the process. His ongoing relationships with the architects and his sub contractors kept communications problems to a minimum. We would definitely hire him again.”
