Home Build S.A.

We've been considering renovating our small and outdated kitchen for a while. Considering our experience with smaller jobs, though, we were very scared because, with two kids, it would be hard to manage without a kitchen for too long and, in our experience, contractors simply did not meet their deadlines.

Rafael and his team not only met their deadline (5 weeks), but they surpassed our expectations in every way. They were on time every day, communicated very clearly what they were doing and the steps to come. Depending on what was getting done, Rafael would bring different people to help and every single one of them was professional and very respectful. Rafael has a "can do" attitude that simply put us at ease that he will figure out a way to make things work - and he had a lot of figuring out to do at our house because we put down structural walls and had to rearrange ducts and pipes. He also managed to put the farmhouse sink I wanted in an Ikea cabinet - other contractors we checked before said it could not be done and that we should go with custom cabinets. He was also patient answering all the questions I had, explaining what he was doing and waiting for my answers when we had to make decisions. Worth mentioning that we mistakenly thought we had to make one more weekly payment, even after Rafael telling us we did not have to. He patiently sat down with us to go through payments records and showed us that we were done with the weekly payments. Not sure if other contractors would have done the same.

All my friends that told me to expect weeks of delay are now surprised that Rafael and his team met the deadline, even though we added to the job and ended up renovating the whole floor. We will surely hire them again when we renovate other parts of the house.

No need to say that I love my main floor now - the kitchen, the powder room, the new flooring, closet doors. It feels like a different house! Cannot thank you enough, Rafael! Thank you!
