Featured Reviews for University City, CA Home Builders

Jantz Construction

University City, CA Home Builders

October 20, 2016

“Ryan is the consummate professional. He embodies honesty and quality, consistently exceeding our expectations in every way. Both himself and his subcontractors are clean, courteous and polite. My wife felt very comfortable being home alone with them in our house (we have four daughters as well who adored the whole crew). He has done numerous projects for us: two full bathroom remodels, a family room addition and an additional bedroom add-on. We have known Ryan and used his company over the course of 8 years. Look no further, he is the best!!!”

If you are planning on doing new construction or a remodel, make sure you get a quote from House to Home.”

Marrokal Design & Remodeling

University City, CA Home Builders

June 6, 2013

“We raised our family in the same neighborhood over 26 years. Our home yearned for updating. Some goals were: eliminate fall risks from multi level flooring, make downstairs bathroom senior safe, open up family room and brighten up downstairs with new doors and windows. We chose Marrokal because of their impeccable reputation. We did not seek other bids because ours would be the 7th Marrokal remodel project in our small cul-de-sac. All our neighbors praised their work. The Design Team exceeded our expectations and incorporated creative innovations into our home AND helped us stay within our budget. The production phase required a bit of oversight, but this job, remodeling all of the downstairs, was completed on time in 5 1/2 months. We lived in our home during the project and Marrokal always kept the job site clean! The caliber of subs was top notch. The final product turned out fabulous! Finally, we rarely need to utilize our extended warranty due to the quality of workmanship, nothing breaks! There is no doubt in our minds that we will hire Marrokal for future projects. You should too!!”

Berg Construction

University City, CA Home Builders

September 28, 2013

“Complete master bath remodel and outdoor shower. Steve Berg is awesome!!! He was referred to us by a friend who used Berg construction for a small bath reno. We had an extremely long shower that we had made smaller due to the unused space. New tiles, shower heads, tub and completely new cabinets. Steve had an idea of the style we liked and gave us sooo many great options. He has a great eye for design and was always available when we had questions. Steve gave us a very competitive bid that included EVERYTHING. His tile guy, Julio was meticulous. Our bathroom came out even better than we imagined. We are absolutely thrilled and are considering renovating other parts of our home with Steve Berg.”

Hill Construction Company

University City, CA Home Builders

June 27, 2013

“Hill Construction totally gutted and rebuilt my kitchen & breakfast room, and replaced flooring throughout my house. Pete Hill's workers have been with him for years. They were careful and considerate, which I especially appreciated since I white-knuckled it and stayed in my house for all but a few nights. Phil Hartmann, the cabinet maker, did a superb job on the custom cherry cabinets. Pete, Phil & I sat at my dining room table & did the kitchen layout. Magically, it worked & is exactly what I wanted. The demo guys had experience, and did not wreck my furniture or walls moving everything into the Pod in my driveway. There were a few minor glitches, which were handled well, and expediently. Friends suggested I request a penalty clause if the project ran past completion date: No. As I told Pete, I wanted it done right, not fast. And it was. I am very, very happy with the result, and recommend Hill Construction at every opportunity.”
