We are very pleased with our recent remodeling experience with Caribou Builders. Josef was always in communication with us throughout the project, keeping us advised of progress and any issues that came up so that they could be handled immediately. His workers were all very good, friendly and helpful. They also cleaned up as they went along, which was appreciated. The results are amazing

I was looking for a contractor to do the remodeling of my house. As you know, when you are contracting someone to do your house, you have to be very careful because you plan to live in it. Also, I wanted to make sure that the contractor does not waste my money, my time and destroy my dream house. Therefore, I was very hesitant to go with just any contractor simply because I did not trust them. Furthermore, I usually get a contractor based on recommendations. However, in this case I decided to give Joseph a chance. I must say that only after the first few minutes of my conversation with Joseph, I noticed that he was very pleasant and honest. I trusted him so much that I decided to sign up with him right away. So, I signed up with him and he completed the project very nicely and without cutting any corners. He paid a lot of attention to details and even more details that did not even occur to me. Having said that, I am planning to

We hired Caribou to build an ADU, and the experience has been extremely disappointing and unprofessional. The contractor has been out of the country for more than two months, leaving the job in the hands of an assistant AJ who is clearly not knowledgeable or qualified to manage the project.He also refused to show his driver’s license when I requested it during a payment exchange, which raised serious concerns. Also he claimed the workers are his, not Josef, when I requested his license and workers compensation information, he replied with a emoji of a face with a palm.The quality of work is poor, and there is very little professionalism or supervision. Most alarming, there is a large hole inside the ADU, which the inspector asked about during the site visit. The project manager had no idea why it was there, and it is not shown on the approved plans. This raises serious concerns about building code violations and accountability. The contractor has repeatedly violated our written payment agreement, demanding payments upfront and threatening to stop work unless I complied. He claimed he doesn’t need workers’ compensation insurance because he hires subcontractors — but at least two workers were on-site, working unsupervised and unlicensed. One of these workers did all the plumbing without a license, and also another worker installed drywall alone for four days — again, without any licensed supervision. The work quality is poor, and the crew lacks professionalism and proper oversight. The site is constantly messy and unsafe, with trash left all over the property. The project is long overdue, with no valid explanation and very little communication. I have filed a complaint with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB), and I strongly urge others to verify licensing, insurance, and project timelines before working with this contractor.

I was lucky enough to have met with Josef from Caribou builders and he made me feel at ease right away. His knowledge of what we wanted for our home impressed me. I realized just how much effort the whole team put into this project.
