      We had gotten estimates from two other companies before Simon came to review requirements for two retaining walls and a drainage system in our backyard. He took the time to accurately understand what we needed and, before leaving, provided us with a written estimate of the work to be done along with a complete cost estimate for this work. This was the most complete and reasonable of the three estimates.

      Daniel was our project lead. Throughout the project, he and the office staff at Better Place Remodeling kept us informed on progress and were always responsive to any inquires we had. This level of commitment to customer service and responsiveness is a real rarity these days.

      The crew did an amazing job on the two retaining walls and drainage system. The quality was top-notch, and they completed the work in a very timely manner. We are so happy to have discovered Better Place Remodeling and look forward to having them return next year for additional work. I would highly recommend Simon and Daniel for any landscaping projects you may have.

      We were looking to renovate our backyard and came upon this company. We're glad we chose them after getting several quotes from other competitors. We had an excellent experience with Better Place Remodeling. Joe was our project manager and Caesar was the team leader. They were very honest, knowledgeable, and professional. Joe was quick, helpful, and precise with his planning. He went above and beyond to help us achieve our goal within our budget. He made sure to take all the necessary precautions needed for a smooth project and planned for possible future risks. Caesar and his team were diligent and thorough with their work and craftsmanship. From start to finish, they were always positive/friendly, always on time, and even finished earlier than expected. Overall satisfied with the outcome of the backyard. Highly recommend using this company for any future home projects.

      I had an outstanding experience working with Sean from BetterPlace Remodeling on our ADU project. From start to finish, Sean demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. Not only did he deliver an amazing final result, but his communication throughout the entire process was truly impressive.

      Sean's attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every aspect of the project. He took the time to understand our vision and worked diligently to bring it to life. His ability to communicate effectively and keep us updated on the progress made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.

      I was thoroughly impressed with Sean's dedication to ensuring every aspect of the ADU met our expectations. The final result exceeded our wildest dreams, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

      If you're considering a remodeling project, I highly recommend Sean from BetterPlace Remodeling. His skills, communication, and commitment to excellence truly set him apart. We are grateful for his outstanding work and couldn't be more pleased with the results. Thank you, Sean, for making our ADU project a success!

      Tried to get an estimate from this company... the job isn't huge, but it's definitely involved. They quoted me a min $10,000 per job without even coming out to see the site.. which is their way of padding the budget and overcharging for the small jobs so they can discount the larger jobs... Making the little guy overpay...

      How about you actually just give an estimate for what the job would ACTUALLY cost? BUYER BEWARE

      I have received 8 estimates to date... this is the ONLY company that had a minimum price, and I went with both small companies and large.

      Carlos and Nico were my contacts here at Better Place. I cannot state how amazing my experience was. Not only were they not pushy with their suggestions, the suggestions they were recommending were to save me money. Questions such as "how long do I plan on staying?" If less than 3 years, concrete, if forever home, consider pavers. Although I don't plan on staying at my home for longer than 5 years, pavers were ultimately my decision. Ofek, my designer, drew out the vision I wanted and it came out better than what I originally envisioned. BTW, these guys work FAST. The crew finished in less than a week... and to top it off, they CLEANED after EVERY NIGHT. Workers are respectful, kind, and detailed. Not to mention they provide 100% financing if you choose that route.

      The team at Better Place Remodeling has been incredible. They were creative in the solutions they provided... And they were not afraid of tackling an unusual type of projects. They worked on schedule, communicated if any delay happened, had regular meetings to make sure the project progressed to our liking. There are always things that don't go as planned: but the team at Better Place was always willing to work with us. Special shout-out to Omri for a project well managed

      These guys were great! Omri and Carlos managed my projects. They are both very friendly, experienced and a pleasure to work with...
      We had several major backyard projects after moving into our new home. This included unclogging and fixing our drainage, complete outdoor kitchen design and build with TV mounting, and turf installation. They managed to get my projects started quickly and did great work with frequent communication so I always knew where we were in the project. Highly recommend Better Place Remodeling!

      We had a mid-size hardscaping project in our backyard. Better Place realized the vision we had for our yard. We were happy with the quality of work, price, and communication throughout the project. They even accommodated a last minute change request. We will certainly go back to them for future projects. I'd just suggest adding a walkthrough at the end of the job would be a nice touch.

      Remodeled our backyard with our project manager Leo. We renovated in the Spring/Summer 2022 at the height of supply-chain shortages and US economic inflation, so inflated pricing reflected that and we understood. WE VALUE COMMUNICATION OVER PRICE. We've heard disasters from friends who went with remodeling companies that were much more affordable, but had issues with getting supplies, scheduling problems, or bad communication.

      Leo had good communication and was on site 2-3x a week while construction workers came Mon-Sat, approx 8am-4pm. We had a deadline, so Leo made sure he had his workers come 6 days/week to complete the project on time. Any issues, questions, or flaws during the ongoing project, Leo made sure to answer and correct pretty quickly. He definitely cares about upholding a good reputation and genuinely cares for your renovation as if it was his own.

      We are satisfied of the final product. We have lots more room for our growing family of two kids and two dogs to play and roam around.
