Smith Builders Group Inc Reviews
5 out of 5 stars, based on 31 reviews

  • By Jason B.
    September 13, 2021
    Renovate kitchen, bathrooms, floors, and electrical
    $76,000

    This company is dishonest, malicious, lacks integrity, and has ZERO idea of how to provide customer service. Smith Builders is NOT a building company, they are a lead generator that will simply farm out your project to their subcontractor network who provides them the lowest bid.

    I made the mistake of hiring this sham of a company after they promised they could finish by the time my household belongings would be shipped to my new house. They promised attention to detail and high quality work. FACT: they delivered on NONE of these things AND they didn't even complete all the work they promised for my renovation, then threatened to sue me and put a lien on my house if I didn't pay them for an incomplete project as agreed (they purposely write you a VERY vague statement of work contract so they can later claim that the details they promised you in person or on the phone are "out of scope")

    I hired this company to remodel 75% of my home. I was on a tight 6 wk timeline. They hired a subcontractor who would only assign TWO PEOPLE to complete 90% of the work, minus some electrical and structural work, and some painting. No matter how much they promised they would finish on time, they refused to add extra people to the project and it took them 12 WEEKS to complete, but this isn't just a case of the typical "it always takes longer" contractor story. Keep reading...

    They give you a so-called "project manager". These are not project managers; they have no PM skills, do not write any of your design or work details down, and have no concept of how to manage a renovation. Their "project managers" are nothing but salespeople that begin blaming the delays on YOU, not on the fact that their workers install the wrong things, don't know how to lay tile, rebuild your shower incorrectly, or that there is one or two people at a time trying to complete a massive renovation. We had to fire their first "PM" Lia (Liora) Green because she was incapable of managing our project effectively. She couldn't remember any detail that we requested, never wrote anything down, and blamed me for "making changes" when work that was done was subpar and I insisted it be done with higher quality and attention to detail, like she initially promised. Oh, she also looked at the architectural plans before we began our work and told us that the opening we wanted to expand between our kitchen and living room was not load-bearing; well, IT WAS, and so we had to remove work scope from the rest of the project to cover the cost because Lia and Smith Builders would not take responsibility for Lia's uninformed mistake.

    Lia was replaced by Sean, who also made big promises but added absolutely ZERO value. He, along with his unethical and malicious boss David, inserted themselves to try to "fix" our project quality and delay issues on July 1, days AFTER the project was supposed to be done. They both promised the remaining work would be done correctly and within two weeks. Neither of those were true, and they finally "finished" the job in late August, but refused to complete multiple electrical projects that we detailed at the beginning and hired them to do. This delay cost my fiance and I money as we had to extend our stay elsewhere, then cost us our quality of life in the home for an entire month as we lived in the house that was basically a construction site, which the workers left dirty on a daily basis. Sean would also come to my home and pressure me to make work progress payments during the project despite the associated work milestones not yet being complete. In case you don't know, THIS PRACTICE IS ILLEGAL for a contractor to do. I cancelled a check on them for this reason, until the work milestones were complete.

    As for their work, they would lay the wrong tile, lay it incorrectly and have to redo it (backsplashes and multiple wall tiles) at my expense, they broke one of my vanity sinks trying to install it, they flooded out my kitchen cabinet and hardwood floor then tried to tell me "it was like that when we started" (hint, it wasn't), they installed the wrong kitchen cabinet hardware TWICE, causing extensive rework of painting and wood-patching the cabinets (increasing their delay, which they found ways to try to blame me for), they refused to complete electrical work I paid them for because Lia "didn't make an arrangement" with the subcontractor to do so (she forgot, and she didn't keep any records of our multiple walkthrough conversations).

    When I asked him why he was refusing to complete work that both of his salespeople promised me THROUGHOUT our project, he said verbatim "This is the explanation I have for you. The next time I'll explain it on my lawsuit". Then he proceeded to threaten to file a lien on my house for not paying them on the day after they deemed they were "finished", which was TWO MONTHS late and incomplete

    These are the facts of our nightmare with this company. Would you hire them after reading how they treat their customers?

    I could not be happier with the design process, the construction phase, or the end result. Project manager was particularly impressive with his fine workmanship and knowledge of his craft. The finished bathroom is truly one of a kind, tailored to my needs and I am very grateful to the Smith Builders Group team for all their time and effort that made it happen.

    This my first time using Smith Builders Group, after getting several quotes I decided to go with Jet Development, mainly due to the time David spent with me talking about the project and providing ideas to make my project better. The crew that showed up to do the work did an excellent job. I will definitely use them for my next project and they come highly recommended. Thank you Smith Builders Group for my Home Theater room.

    I am happy with the work and prices and can recommend them for sure!! The crew they sent us came by EVERY day to check the progress and make sure the work was done to his high standards. We LOVE the results, and have signed on to do our bathroom remodel already. I feel like we are in such good hands with Smith Builders Group and would highly recommend this company.

    I usually never write a review, but Rouven and his crew did a fantastic job on my kitchen and master bathroom. They were neat and cleaned up each day and more important - they finished on time. I highly recommend them, Rouven is a perfectionist so you are guaranteed quality work.

    I recently used The Smith Builders Group to renovate my bathroom. I decided to use them after they renovated my parents entire are apartment, and had a positive experience. Rouven and his crew were always punctual, worked neatly and efficiently, and kept communication open throughout the process. We now have a beautiful updated bathroom that a reliable and trustworthy crew built for us. Thank you!

    This company just remodeled my whole basement including a full bathroom. The job they did is perfect! They is not one imperfection that I can find. Everyone working on the job was very professional .. clean and there when they said they would be there. I have dealt with other contractors and can say Benjamin and his whole team are the best! I would highly recommend them.

    We just did a complete redesign of our master bathroom. David's crew did a phenomenal job. They arrived early every morning and stayed as long as needed to complete each task for the day. The crew was very clean and professional. We really liked that we were able to start several days ahead of schedule and have our bathroom done in 10 work days. David stopped by several times a day to check on the progress and answer any questions we may have. I would work with David and his crew for anything we would like to renovate in the future.

    Benjamin, David and their team were always professional and attentive during our renovation. They addressed any problems as they came up and always made their best effort to address any issues quickly and effectively. John and Wilmar always made sure their work was held to the highest standards. Smith Builders Group stands behind their work and we're very pleased with the finished product.

    Smith Builders Group did an amazing job on our kitchen remodel and bathrooms. Very professional and took care of any issues that came up immediately. They really support the client. The job was beautiful. No delays except in our part with our gorgeous back splash. I would highly recommend. My friends who have seen the kitchen comment on the fact that it's beautiful and looks like it should be in a designer magazine. You do get what you pay for and I would do it again!!!!

    I could not be more pleased with the professionalism they have shown me. The 2 bathrooms at my house needed some remodeling. The sight of the floor, the sink, and the tub looked so outdated. They did an amazing job in transforming it. I couldn't be more happy to use my bathroom. My son was surprised when he saw his bathroom. They remodeled his tub as well as the flooring. He is excited to finally take a bubble bath in it. Their pricing is very fair, the material they have is excellent, and I loved how they take the time to listen to what you want (especially if you are detail orientated like me). This company has been so helpful that I will definitely refer them to friends and family.

    Smith Builders Group recently renovated our kitchen and we were so happy with their ideas, personalized approach and professionalism that we then had them recreate our outdoor pool, entertainment area. What we loved about working with Rouven and the crew was, nothing we asked was too much trouble and when I changed the plan a little, again no problem. This just made our whole experience stress free. The service from start to finish was fantastic leading to a beautiful result. We will definitely have them back for our next project. Thank you Smith Builders Group!

    Smith Builders Group remodeled our master bathroom. It was outstanding job. One of my friends told me about them. They listened to what we wanted and not what they wanted to do. Their crew were on time, professional, hard-working and efficient. Each day making the bath remodel move forward and stay on target for our timeline. We couldn't be more satisfied and pleased with the outcome and LOVING our new bathroom. Thanks a lot.

The Forman also made sure everything ran smoothly and looked the way it was supposed to. Will definitely be hiring them again for our next project!

    We recently had Smith Builders Group to install a new kitchen & laundry. We needed more bench space, cooking facilities and storage capacity for our growing family. Smith Builders Group helped us achieve this within the existing space. They listened to our needs and ideas, whilst offering valuable advice and suggestions. From the office staff and salesperson to the installer and trades, everyone was very professional and reliable. It was completed on time, with no extra cost to the agreed price. We are very lucky to have had Smith Builders Group create lovely and functional spaces in our home. Thank you very much.

    We were extremely pleased with the thorough, consultative design process that assisted us in thinking through the options and deciding on just what we wanted in a new kitchen. The actual work started on time and finished on time, with no delays. Rouven and crew were courteous, kept us fully appraised at all stages and was responsive to all our questions as the work went forward. Great care was taken in keeping the workspace clean and minimizing the inconvenience to us as we continued to live in our house. We highly recommend Smith Builders Group to anyone!

    We wanted to replace our 20+ years old kitchen and. We contacted Smith Builders Group, and they did a fantastic job give my kitchen the upgrade it needed. I appreciated the suggestions Benjamin gave me regarding the tint of the window, tiling, plumbing, taps, fan and lightening which was very important and it turned out just perfect. We were also very pleased with the workmanship of the crew. They sealed and weatherproofed the window which helped lower our energy bills. They also cleaned up and hauled away all of the debris. We highly recommend Smith Builders Group for any remodeling job you might need.

    I hired Smith Builders Group to redo our 1970s bathroom. Benjamin was my project manager and he made the process as easy and smooth as possible. They did the work fast, and even with some hiccups in the process, I felt like it was easy. They pull all permits so no worries about unpermitted work screwing you in the future. The installation of everything is perfect, I went with nice tiles and flooring and they installed it to look like a million bucks! I will be using these guys again when I'm ready for some more renovation work, as I'm confident that finding better is near impossible. Call and get a quote, you won't be sorry.

    We have been through a lot of time consuming research to determine which kitchen and bath remodeling company would be the best fit for our upcoming remodel. We found that Smith Builders Group was the most attentive to our needs. We went to many kitchen and bath remodeling companies in the Bay Atra and Smith Builders Group was the most knowledgeable team that we dealt with. They had good designs and ideas. Even though Smith Builders Group was not the least expensive bid, we felt that we were receiving the best service and value for our budget. We are very happy with their service and the communication has been very good. Thanks.

    We renovated 2 bathrooms with Smith Bulders Group and can not recommend them more highly. Our Project Manager David, was really helpful and easy to work with. He was excellent! He visited the site frequently, was very attentive to detail, and was proactive about communicating with us. He also made sure that all the crew knew exactly what to do, were respectful to us and our space, and kept our home very clean. We worked with other contractors before and hated them by the end. Not the case with Smith Bulder Group! We will definitely use them for our next project.

  • By kendrickwestphal955

    I never thought that remodeling could be as hassle-free as David and his team made it to be. Last year, my husband and I had a grand plan to remodel our kitchen. We had been getting into cooking and loved entertaining that we felt it was time to make the plunge! I learned about Smith Builder Group from a friend who spoke very highly of them. All I can say is that our decision to get our kitchen remodeled and to work with David has been ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS for our family ever. The whole process went by smoothly. We set up an estimate and then they promptly started with the work. They made the house very livable and they were there to answer any questions. Now the finished product was wonderful! I don't know how we could have waited this long for the kitchen remodel. We got our dream kitchen and even if our home was built in 1986, it made our house look brand new. The cost was reasonable and very worth it due to high quality. Very satisfied and I cannot wait to get other parts of the home done by David and team too.

    My wife and I wanted our old home to wear a new look. So, we consulted the Benjamin of Smith Builder Group - with his crew- to make our dream come true. The task was deftly executed, and each day ends with a general cleaning even till the last day of the work. Our experience with them was quite awesome – every time they resume work, the atmosphere seems like a family reunion, Benjamin and his crew diffuse warmth and friendliness each day. Now, our home is a place of regular visit for our friends. All thanks to Benjamin and his crew for their best shot that changed our old house forever into the best we can ever think of.
