Top-Rated Remodeling Contractors - Napa County,

Hiring the wrong contractor, especially one that seems cheap, is an expensive mistake. Often a bid seems lowest because it’s not accurate, with the contractor not spotting mistakes in the design or staying quiet about it until later when they turn in costly change orders after work has begun. Even in the lucky instance that everything seems fine immediately upon completion, it’s the ongoing repair and maintenance costs over the years caused by their shortcuts that make those cheap companies the most costly choice possible. The contractors who save you money are the ones that do quality work using good materials.  In fact it’s possible to build a virtually maintenance-free house or remodel but you need the right contractor. The Napa Valley firm Vintage Builders in Napa CA is one that has stayed very busy since it was founded 17 years ago mostly through customer referrals. We interviewed owner Curtis Hayes to find out why customers of Vintage Builders are so quick to recommend them to family and friends as the contractor who gives honest, accurate bids at the outset, and who saves them money by doing work that looks better and lasts longer, whether it be for remodels or repairs, a new custom home or their specialty of concrete work including foundations and floors.

The Solano County firm GoldenWest Renovations, formerly known as Goldcrest Designs, in Benicia CA is run by owner Jim Pawloski, who has more than 40 years of experience and has built a local reputation for trust throughout Solano County and Contra Costa County. We interviewed Jim to find out how what GoldenWest Renovations has been doing that has contributed to their reputation for trust. Trustworthy Estimates from GoldenWest Renovations in Benicia CA We’ve heard how some contractors take advantage of unsuspecting customers by giving dishonest, rock-bottom bids to get the job. Then, in order to make a profit, those shady contractors submit change orders that add thousands of dollars to the job, leaving homeowners frustrated and sometimes without enough left in their budget to finish the project. Jim Pawloski has heard of this too. "We recently went to look at a job in Oakland where the homeowners had run out of money in the first phase of the job because of add-ons the contractor didn’t tell them they needed until after the job was started," he shares. To avoid this type of financial stress, GoldenWest Renovations talks with their clients ahead of time and lays out accurate bids based on the scope of work and all the materials needed to do the job right. Jim explains, "I personally don’t like change orders because they’re hard to explain and they don’t make customers feel confident that they’re being treated fairly, so...
