From Homeowners
We get too many kind words from our customers to put all of them on this page, but every now and again will be posting what homeowners have said about our service.
Carolina of Alhambra, California just had her bathroom remodeled and had this to say,
"Calfnder was of great assistance, helping me find a contractor. I had a fast response from numerous contractors. I would definitely use Calfinders again for assistance on any future projects."R.L. used CalFinder Contractors to have several things done to his home including replacing windows and doors and installing new floors. He describes his experience.
"I am writing this letter to express my appreciation along with my thanks for helping my wife and I remodel our home. We undertook replacing Windows, doors and installing hardwood floor in our home virtually unprepared for the volume of work such tasks entail and frankly naive to the expense involved with such projects.The good folks you put us in contact with were by and large all professionals and ever so informative about not only the work but they all exhibited willingness to work with us so as to make the projects affordable. My wife and I selected WindowMax for the windows and French door installation, and we selected Golden Hardwood floors as they tailored their costs to fit within our limited budget. Again, we wish to thank you and we will be happy to serve as references for your site to any and all who have need of professional contractor services."
Sincerely, R.L.
Chuck had this to say:
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance. Your services have been extremely helpful with the contractors whom you have had gotten in touch with me, I assure you that whoever I come in contact with that has home projects in mind . I'll refer them to you."
Jorge found the right contractor for his job,
"I will like to thank you for all the help. More than 5 contractors called for appointments on estimates and quotes. A couple of them were chosen for appointments and quotes Your service helped me find the right contractor, for the right job! Once again thanks for everything."
Meredith had this to say about CalFinder Contractors.
"Thank you, Calfinder, for your help with our window project. I contacted, or was contacted by, four different contractors within 24 hours of receiving your list. Each contact was courteous and positive. I saw three of them, learned much from their presentations, and was able to make a decision and sign a contract w/ one. Your service is indeed very helpful. I will recommend you to my friends."
Ginny of San Rafael has this to say about some recent concrete work completed by Luis Diaz Concrete, a certified CalFinder contractor.
Our driveway (and steps, front walk and porch) now look fabulous -- thanks to you referring Luis Diaz, Luis Diaz Concrete to us. Luis is an artist who just happens to work in concrete and acrylic overlay. He can make an ordinary concrete driveway look like beautifully tinted flagstone -- amazing! He is highly professional, is reasonably priced, delivers on time and more than exceeds one's expectations. Most of his work has been up in the North Bay (we went to Windsor to look at actual sites), but judging by the interest our driveway, etc. has generated, I think he will be getting more jobs in the San Rafael area (at least Mont Marin!)Thank you for your service. I had no idea of where to start to find a contractor to do the driveway repair. Now, not only is our driveway repaired, the entire front has received a face lift! Thanks again.
Padita just recently submitted a request to add a ground level addition to his home. He shares his experience with CalFinder.
Thank you for making this kind of service available. I wish your service existed 10 years ago when I had some major construction completed and had very, very bad experiences. Now it's a peace of mind for me (especially a woman) to know that I ONLY deal with the good contractors who meet your standards and requirements. I dealt with 3-4 of them already and they seem to be ethical.
Homeowner Bill Penn described his recent experience using CalFinder’s service.
“I most appreciated their valuable feedback and thoughtful recommendations throughout the project. They’re true experts in the field and helped us throughout the whole process, from getting the most competitive bid, to making design decisions and obtaining permits. They did a splendid job and had excellent ideas—and it’s free!”
Sharon Fassio valued the tremendous timesavings from CalFinder’s comprehensive research and appreciated receiving a narrowed-down list of reliable prospective contractors.
“I didn’t have time to call around and hope that the contractors I found were worthwhile. CalFinder did all the homework—which went beyond checking references to making sure they’re adequately licensed, bonded and insured. They also made sure each contractor has an impeccable job history and a favorable review from the Better Business Bureau. I just don’t have time to collect all that information—but it’s important to know.”
Contractor Clients of CalFinder
Greg Blue of Blue & Blue Construction explained how CalFinder helped him grow his business during times of heightened competition.
“Our business would not have grown as it has in such a short period of time without CalFinder. It’s hard for a small business to do all the work while also trying to generate business. Advertising costs are high, and it doesn’t always bring qualified leads. CalFinder costs a lot less, and through their personal interviews with each homeowner, they filter out everything but the best, qualified projects. We experienced a huge surge in business after joining CalFinder, which is extraordinary, given how competitive this market is for contractors.”
Finding legitimate projects is very time-consuming for contractors, and for Taylor Phan of Perfection Construction, it’s all about weeding out all but the serious leads. He explained,
“Ads bring a bunch of calls from people just fishing around. CalFinder personally analyzes each lead and matches our area of expertise with homeowners who are ready to do the work. This really helps us streamline our business and allows us to treat new projects more efficiently.”
Real Estate Professional
Remodeling certainly helps to sell a home, says real estate agent Pam Shaffer.
“I show dozens of homes, but it is the newly remodeled home that buyers want.”
Remodeled kitchens and bathrooms are the biggest selling points, and even smaller touches such as fresh paint, crown molding and refinished floors really help to increase a home’s value, she adds.
