Working with OT Bay Builders on our house renovation was an excellent experience. The team was really professional and kept us updated every step of the way. They were able to keep on schedule and within budget, which was a tremendous relief. The craftsmanship was exceptional, and they took great care to ensure that every aspect was flawless. We couldn't be happier with the completed product, which is exactly what we envisioned. OT Bay Builders is a reputable company that provides high-quality general contracting services, and I would suggest them to anyone planning a home renovation project.

We recently hired OT Bay Builders to renovate our entire house, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Throughout the procedure, their crew showed us a great deal of skill, courtesy, and consideration for our area. They converted our dilapidated house into a gorgeous, contemporary, and useful living area. From the elegant new carpeting to the custom cabinetry, every element of the makeover was done with care and precision. We are so grateful to OT Bay Builders for their tireless efforts and commitment in turning our dream house into a reality.

I recently engaged OT Bay Builders to renovate my kitchen, and the entire process was great. The crew was professional, knowledgable, and took the time to truly understand my idea. They offered valuable feedback on design decisions and kept the project on track, both in terms of money and timeline. The work exceeded my expectations, and I'm quite pleased with the end outcome. My kitchen is now the focal point of my home, thanks to OT Bay Builders. I would suggest their services to anyone searching for a high-quality general contractor.

After 10 years living in my house I decided to renovate it. I pretty much remodeled the whole house: my kitchen, my fireplace, 2 bathrooms and all the flooring throughout the house. I met with 4 contractor firms and the one that stood out the most was NuHome Remodeling. We had a meeting with Tony who was the project manager. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He had a designer work with us and she made a 3D design and was able to show us how the house would look even before the remodel started which was AMAZING. It helped us decide what we wanted!
NuHome Remodeling has an actual office instead of a PO Box like many other contractor firms. We received excellent customer service by the production team who was always helpful when we had questions regarding the project.
Yes, their bid wasn't the cheapest but It was totally worth it. They were able to finish the project on time and they were always very professional. I would definitely recommend Tony and NuHome Remodeling!

When my wife and I needed to hire a contractor to renovate our kitchen and 2 1/2 bathrooms we turned to Thumbtack for references. We needed a contractor whom we could trust and have confidence that the job will get done on time and within budget. We interviewed 3 companies but finally decided to go with Guy and Nuhome. They were not the cheapest bidder to be honest. But When deciding to do a project with substantial funds involved it came down to who we felt we could trust and have a good working relationship. We found that person in Guy. From beginning to end he helped us through the entire process from design concept to construction and finish. All the while keeping us constantly informed on the process through whatsapp. As with any project of this size there were hiccups along the way but his constant communication and helpful suggestions smoothed over the rough spots. Budget wise as I stated previously there were some unavoidable changes that had to be made but they were handled quickly and for a reasonable amount and we were able to stay within our time table. Overall we were exceptionally pleased with our experience with Guy and Nuhome. The finished product exceeded what we had envisioned for the project and my wife is very satisfied with the outcome so I'm satisfied.

When they say, ""third time's a charm"" it's true. I thought I had been lucky with my first 2 remodels, until I met Guy. Never have I had such an enjoyable experience, working with someone. I learned from him, I was allowed to be creative, and I cannot be more pleased with the final results.
From the moment I met Guy and NuHome Remodeling, he stood out from the other contractors from whom I asked bids. NuHome’s business model of providing all labor, getting permits and assisting/guiding you in purchasing building materials was the perfect fit for me. On my end, I was responsible for choosing/buying flooring, lighting, doors, etc. which I loved.
Guy was always there, when I asked for help. He offered suggestions when he saw I was out of my depth. His happy, high energy kept the job at a quick pace. Total construction time for my amazing space was 1 1/2 months. Visitors are amazed that the space was filled with old furniture, vines and spiderwebs for over 17 years.
My recommendation to anyone is that you give Guy a call. The exuberance Guy displays during the consultation is never-ending. Guy is a person who keeps his word and wants to see his clients happy. This is someone you want to work with.
I do. I'm already planning for my next renovation.

We recently completed a major renovation with Clarity Construction, including a kitchen remodel, master bathroom upgrade, guest bathroom remodel and an open-concept redesign. From the very start, the experience was seamless and well-organized.
Initially, we had an architect design our plans, but once we started getting bids, we realized the project was way over budget. The cost estimates were completely off, and we felt stuck. When we met with Daniel and his team, they carefully reviewed our plans, asked about our priorities, and helped us adjust things to fit our budget while still achieving the look and functionality we wanted. The ability to get real-time pricing feedback and practical solutions made a huge difference.
Once permitting was completed, the construction process moved fast. Demolition started immediately, and within a few days, the space was cleared and prepped. Communication was outstanding the entire time, with regular updates, photos, and video clips through WhatsApp. The team was highly responsive, always available to answer questions and address any concerns. Any small issues that came up were handled quickly and professionally.
What really stood out was how efficiently the project was managed. We had expected a timeline of 6-8 months, but Clarity completed everything in under five months—well ahead of schedule. Friends and family were amazed at how quickly and smoothly everything came together. Even after we moved back in, Daniel’s team remained available for any final touch-ups, ensuring everything was completed to perfection.
The pricing was transparent, the craftsmanship was excellent, and the entire process felt stress-free. While Clarity wasn’t the cheapest option, the quality, efficiency, and level of communication made it worth every penny. If you’re looking for a contractor who delivers on time, communicates clearly, and produces top-notch work, Clarity Construction is the way to go.

TLDR: The two male project managers who came to my house appeared to be sexist, and when I asked them to leave after disrespecting me, I was asked why I was snapping at them (when at no point did I raise my voice). This has been the most unprofessional, questionable, and unqualified encounter I have ever had with any company.
I made an appointment to have a project manager visit my childhood home on Thurs, 2/8/2024 between 10-10:30 am. There was a change in my work schedule where I needed to change my appointment the day before, and the person with whom I was texting was kind enough to accommodate my request. My appointment comes along and two men knock on my door -- one appeared to be in his late 30s and was shorter than the other; the other man appeared to be in his mid-40s, with a gray/white beard. Once I opened the door, neither men said anything; no hello, no introduction. In fact, the expression on their face showed that they were surprised, almost as if they did not expect a woman. To prompt them to say something, I said hello, asked if they were there to see the room, and which company they were with. I thanked them for coming and asked where they needed to start and what they needed to see. The younger one had an attitude, answering that they do not know what I want done and pressed me for details of what I had planned. This struck me as odd because I had previously spoken to someone on the phone from their company to discuss the project. This showed me that they were unprepared or failed to review the notes before coming to assess the property; or perhaps whomever I was speaking did not enter notes regarding our phone call. Once I explained what I wanted done, they said that they had to take a look inside. I showed them the way to the room. They again asked what I wanted done and I repeated what I had envisioned. Rather than work with my request, the bearded man asked why I did not just renovate the entire room. This struck me as strange and felt almost like a tactic to upsell me. I explained that the timeframe that it would be to add an extension versus renovating an entire room seemed more feasible for me with my timeline as I was moving back in 2 months and I did not want to be inconvenienced for too long while the work was being done. In response, he sneered and said that it would take longer than 2 months. I told him that I understood that the project would take longer than 2 months, but the 2 months I was referring to was simply the time I was moving back, not the time at which I expected the completion of the project. I further explained that I had an idea of the timeframe and understand that it would take somewhere between 7-8 months. He had no reply and only looked at me with contempt. Next, he asked what kind of bathroom I wanted and what size. I let him know that as this was just the beginning stages, I have not considered size but I wanted a shower, single sink, and toilet. He looked at me appalled and exclaimed that there were various bathroom sizes and I had to figure it out. I was taken aback from his response as it was unnecessarily aggressive especially for an initial site visit. Following this, he then asked me how I found their company. I explained that I have been consulting with various companies, so I could not remember the exact method in which I found them, but mentioned that it might have been on Google. The bearded man then asked if I visited their website, read reviews on Google or Yelp. I thought that this was a strange question, and it gave me the impression that they may have had poor reviews since they seemed very invested on what I had already known about them. I stated that I do a thorough review before inviting project managers to my family's home, so of course I reviewed their website and did my fair share of reading reviews on Yelp. Without provocation, the bearded man then said that a business and Yelp are not the same. I responded telling him that I take reviews on Yelp with a grain of salt as one of the other companies I had an appointment with had raving reviews on Yelp; however, they failed to show up to my appointment, so Yelp is not always reliable in my experience. He proceeded to MANSPLAIN how Yelp worked. Yes, you read that correctly. This man who was older than me, explained how Yelp worked because (as he probably saw it) I am just an uneducated Asian woman. I asked if he was explaining how Yelp worked, and he lied and answered "no," essentially GASLIGHTING me! I asked if they needed anything else and when they said no, I thanked them for their time, and ask they leave my house. The shorter man then had the audacity to ask why I was snapping at them. There was no point where I raised my voice nor was I anything but cordial the entire time. I explained that from the beginning, they were talking to me in a condescending manner even when they half-heartedly explained the process. The bearded man continued to disagree and was starting to argue with me, saying that he was not being condescending. I had to ask them to leave an additional two more times and the entire time, the bearded man kept saying I was wrong and he was not being condescending. Both were insistent that they were not being condescending and I was wrong about the situation. I said that they were being condescending at this moment, trying to argue with me. The shorter one said they did not mean to act that way and I told them that despite what their intent was, they were coming across as disrespectful. I even pointed out that bearded man was rolling his eyes and not being accountable for his behavior, only insisting he was not being rude. I received no apology for their unprofessionalism and poor behavior.
