Wise Builders

AVOID WISE BUILDERS. THEY PAY ZERO ATTENTION TO THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK. PLEASE READ LONGER REVIEW. I IGNORED SOME BAD REVIEWS, AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH A KITCHEN I REGRET. If you do end up working with Wise Builders here is my advice: Double-check everything. Big or Small. Don't take anything being told you at face-value. Document everything. Verify with every contractor that they know what the work they should be doing is. Tile layer, painter, etc... Full Review: I reached out to Wise Builders for a kitchen remodel and room addition. We started with the kitchen remodel and were going to pick up talks for room addition afterward. At this point, I will not be working with Wise Builders on any future projects. Throughout the project, we have had numerous issues with the quality of work and project management. They range from minor fixes to redoing complete phases of the project. These have led to a complete lack of trust in Wise Builders and the kitchen they built. I've debated whether to write this review because, to their credit, Wise Builders has been responsive when I've brought up issues. However, the number of glaring problems left me with fears about work that I couldn't see. Today those fears came true when a shelf fell because they had used too small of screws, and only the tips had made it through the wood, which is why I'm finally writing this review. We had a number of issues, but I'm going to start with one at the end that highlights how bad their quality of work can be when left on their own. Midway through December (project started Oct. 16th), we were at the final steps, and I was excited to be finally down. However, I noticed a few things were "off" when I started using the kitchen. The Project Manager told me the slanted gap above our cabinets was because the ceiling wasn't level. However, after inspecting the ceiling, there was a slight slant, but it was going in the same direction as the gap; you would expect the gap to get smaller when it was instead getting bigger. This was because the cabinets were not level. I'm not complaining about "Oh, that bubble could be closer to the center" off it is "That bubble is going over the line" off. We have the countertops, backsplash, and all the appliances installed at this point. If something this glaring isn't caught by Wise Builders and instead is left for me, the customer, to inspect, what would be? I felt 90% of the problems, one only needed to look at them to realize they needed to be fixed. Because of this, they wouldn't have been fixed if I hadn't complained, as shown by not even checking if the cabinets were level. We had issues with the following: *Screws sticking out of the top of cabinets. *Wrong parts used during cabinet installation. (I found out that the person installing the cabinets didn't have the detailed plans with installation notes and parts list. They were just going off of the 3D rendering of the kitchen.) The wrong paint finish was used for the kitchen. *The quartz countertop was initially miss-cut, needing it to be notched and the overhang depth being changed to sit flush. *Issues with baseboards and molding. *Damage to cabinets. *Chipped tiles in the backsplash. * An open boxcutter left on high self. *And more! When made aware of these issues, Wise Builders did try to fix them to the best of their ability. However, since they have had to redo and repair so often, I'm left with brand-new cabinets with permanent damage. The mental toll of verifying all the work, simple or complex, has been exhausting. I will follow up with more detail and a bunch of pictures documenting all the issues. But, I just needed to get this out here and off my chest.

*PSA* Ask for Aaron if you’re looking for strong communication/reliable advice/great quality workmanship. He might be young, but this guy KNOWS construction more then guys with 20+years experience.. Terrific experience with Wise Builders, Aaron Abramov was my Project Manager. I had to remodel 2 bathrooms because of a leak that went into my neighbors garage. I had a total of 7 companies come out with numbers all around ( Wise Builders quote being in the middle area of bids) Some guys came by and didn’t measure at all. Aaron was my 3rd estimate, and the only one out of the 7 that asked me to see the neighbors garage. (why I had to remodel in the first page) Aaron took the time to understand what I needed and not once tried to sell me on something I didn’t need. I just felt outright comfortable, to the point I was ready to sign a contract on the spot. Just to show you the type of person he is, he refused to take payment and said something along the lines of “let me take these measurements and have the office/estimator create a detailed scope of work, sleep on it and if you have the same feeling tomorrow, let’s go ahead and sign up” When have you ever heard of a representative of company risk of sale like this??? Aaron is not a SALESMAN, he is a true Project Manager and professional. He then invited me to their exclusive showroom in San Jose and I felt at home and in great hands to move forward. Done deal. Communication is a key factor to me and not once did I feel like I couldn’t reach him. I had to go to Mexico for 3 weeks to visit my sister and must of called and texted him 100 times. I can go on and on about how happy I am with my remodeling experience, and the outcome really turned out better then I could have hoped for. All expectations met and as well as most importantly TIMELINE. Crew is amazing, respectful. Aaron and team even made sure my sheets were washed and set up for me as soon as I returned home. That’s next level. The hardest thing nowadays a contractor you can trust and meet timelines, period. For anyone that is looking for A++ workmanship/ experience I would recommend Wise Builders, and especially Aaron. This guy is sharp and on top of his stuff. Any word that came out of his mouth was done, and done with love. I come from a background in sales, and you can’t teach this stuff. Wonder who his parents are? Lol -Ross

I cannot recommend enough! Our project included a kitchen remodel, new flooring, and recessed lighting throughout the home. The final result exceeded our expectations and has made our newly purchased home more functional, as well as more comfortable. The project was completed in lightning speed (~40% faster than original quote, which was reasonable to begin with), but certainly without compromising on quality. Everything turned out beautiful!

They responded very quick to my email and sent me very competitive offer for my bathroom remodel. I needed a full bathroom remodel and wanted more expensive option. I also asked some other contractors but their offers were overpriced. The project lasted 24 days and it as non stop working. The house was always clean at the end of the day, they were very professional. The result of their hard work was a magnificent bathroom, I will recommend.

I went with Wise Builders to renovate my 2 rooms, my bedroom and living room. They responded at my first contact immediately and provided to me necessary details about their offer.

Sal was always available for any questions or other things, he kept eye on every single detail just to make sure that I will be satisfied at the end. And indeed, I was more than satisfied with their work, rooms are awesome, great job, I can't ask for more! Top contractor, highly recommend!!

They responded immediately about my question for bathroom remodel and I can't say that for other contractors I contacted. They were very informative, gave me several solutions and all their offers were very acceptable so I hired Wise Builders for my bathroom remodeling. They started work on project soonm after we made a contract. Adam was my project manager and he was amazing, he was alaways ready to answer on all my questions and he also gave me some great ideas and advised sme changes which was very helpful. His crew was also great, very professional workers. They completed a bathroom remodeling within promised time of 4 weeks and with no extra costs.

I was looking for reliable contractor to remodel my kitchen. After I consulted with several of them I decided to go with Wise Builders because their offer was closest to my requests, the price was fair and they were able to start soon after we signed a contract. The working crew where phenomenal, they worked hard and accurate. They were very careful about my requests but they also provided to me their solutions and ideas. The project lasted 6 weeks which was OK, the price was also within my budget and the most important my new kitchen looks just as I wanted, maybe even better. Great contractor, i will recommend to others
