Left Coast Builders

We've worked with Anthony on rebuilding our barn, which we use as a pretty extensive gym setup. Our prior barn was built by previous owners and was not enclosed and had no electricity, and was basically just sheet metal put together on top of a concrete slab that was sat on top of the ground. We wanted to have a proper concrete pad, with a fully enclosed weather proofed and temperature controlled barn, with electricity and the easy conversion to an ADU for resell. My brothers run their own general contracting operation in North Carolina so when we were vetting contractors for this project, I had a pretty high bar of the type of contractor I wanted to work with, and that mainly included someone who was upfront and honest, communicated, and had value alignment with us. Anthony's been great to work with - he's responsive via text and email, good at giving feedback and taking feedback, great at working with the contractors (electrical, painters, concrete, roofing) and with vendors to get options for ideas we had on various design aspects. His carpentry skills are awesome (he built wood beams for the vaulted ceiling inside our barn). Importantly, he helped us stay in budget and when there was potential to go over budget, he worked with me to help identify alternatives that would keep us within our budget. I was upfront about my budget and where we did and didn't have wiggle room, which he stayed in top of, and he was always willing to check in on the status of our spending/costs as the project progressed (since some things evolved as the building came to life). He made it easy to get contractor contact info just to have on hand to coordinate between Anthony and contractors when the contractors were on site (if needed; Anthony was onsite for a lot of the times when the contractors were on site). He was willing to provide design ideas and get his input and experience, but he was also comfortable knowing that end of day the decision was up to me, and he was prompt at giving updates on timelines for all the moving pieces. For the last point, I was happy to initiate this although many times Anthony provided those updates without me explicitly asking. I also asked questions when I wasn't sure about something or had no idea the difference between two options he was suggesting, and he was great at explaining things in an objective, easy to understand manner. We are thrilled with the result of our project! And we are looking forward to working with Anthony in the future and have already discussed multiple additional projects we want to do!

Left Coast builders remodeled our kitchen, bathroom and main living area, they even designed and built a custom bookcase for us. They assisted with the design from the beginning and made the billing process transparent and clear. Communication throughout the project was smooth and timely. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is outstanding. Next time we need remodel or new built Left Coast builders is the one for us.

Anthony did wonderful work, was honest and fair in his dealings, and finished the addition exactly to our liking. If things went wrong, he fixed them and let us know, absorbing costs along the way. He responded to our comments and communicated with us often and effectively. The timeline for the project was much longer than any of us anticipated, partly due to unforeseen issues and partly due to scheduling. In the end, we are very happy with the project and would recommend Left Coast Builders and would hire them again.
