Reviews of local pros in Poway, California

Thank you Need For Build for remodeling two amazing bathrooms for us. We signed up with NFB to do the two bathrooms first to see how they work before we sign on a much larger project. We met with Danny and Avi and connected with them right away. Avi, our main contact, walked us through everything, from design to shopping for stones to the final details. Their work is high quality and with integrity. My husband love the results and he is not an easy person to please. Needless today, we signed on for several more projects with them.

Concrete is now setting! Need for build has been so fast, communication has been fantastic! The office staff are super helpful and the workers are very respectful of our space and area. Definitely recommend them for any interior or exterior project!

When we moved into our new house it came with no backyard, just a lovely pile of dirt. After getting several bids from various companies, we decided to go with Need For Build and I'm so glad we did! They did a retaining wall, pavers, a patio covering with lights and a fan, turf, and river rock on the side of the house. They even framed our driveway with leftover pavers at no charge! From start to finish, the project was a breeze. The Need For Build team was amazing and easy to work with. I highly recommend them for any home project, inside or out.

I took down my other review of Need For Build because I was requested to as they tried to fix the problems with their handling of my project. Once again, the communication with Need For Build is extremely poor. Now Need For Build is trying to extort money from me by trying to apply the entirety of a project that they failed to complete to another portion that they neglected to finish in a five month span. While their representative, Angelo is great at selling you on how they do their projects, actual communication completely breaks down after that, and no timelines are given, and promises are made that never materialize.

At this point, I believe that there are actually three teams. The first is sales that over promises, The second that under delivers as the build team, Third, the team that recovers money for failed projects.
Incredibly disappointed as part of the contract was displaying their Need For Build sign in front of my house as advertising.

Btw, our project was time critical as we were selling our home. Even after speaking to the owner, nothing is completely resolved and having the company come after us for work they didn’t complete is disgraceful.

Need For Build is a wonderful company to work with. I am so happy with the master bathroom that they created for me. I went from a small, outdated, falling apart, single sink master bathroom to a beautiful master retreat spa bathroom. I'm still in shock at how perfect it turned out. Angelo, the project manager, was easy to work with, and a really nice person. His crew of brothers Ramiro, Miguel, Adolfo and their friend Freddy are talented, fun to be around, and care about their work.
Thank you all for changing my life.

We had a great experience with Need for Build from start to finish. We had an issue with my driveway and hillside eroding away due to the recent heavy rain and needed a retaining wall with a drain to properly fix the issue, which our insurance denied covering. Not only was Need for Build highly responsive when we reached out, but they also came by the very next day to check it out.

In that first meeting Darrell identified the problem, gave us numerous quote options based on our financial options, desired functionality, and overall material appearance/durability, and offered to provide us with the necessary supporting evidence to rebuttal the insurance company's denial as this was a common issue in our area at the time and should have been covered. He also explained the company's financing options and warranty for the project, which were better than we had gotten from any other quote. It made it easy from the start to pick them.

Once we decided on an option for the cost, materials, and financing, the project was done within 5 days. The crew was fully certified, extremely respectful, and arrived promptly first thing in the morning without being disruptive at any point in time. Darrell was with them every day and kept us updated with the status of the project the whole time, so we weren't left wondering about any issues or delays.

The support didn't end there as the team continued to clearly communicate and assist us even after the wall was fully built. At the conclusion of the project, we faced an issue with the financing company and were still discussing the reassement with the insurance company. Darrell, Danny, and Dannie ensured everything went smoothly with both of these issues and made it clear we were a priority for them.

We would highly recommend Need For Build for any project you need and have no doubt in my mind that they would treat you with the upsmost respect and attention. We will forever be grateful for the work and support they provided and will definitely be using them again in the near future!

My experience with Need for Build was nothing short of outstanding. Aaron and Angelo were with me every step of the way building a much needed retaining wall in my front yard to address years of erosion on a steep slope. They even helped me pick out plants that will spread to further address the slope erosion. Joe Joe and his crew were wonderful. They did what I thought was the impossible and had my retaining wall done in 2 days. With the torrential rains that occurred after completion of the wall there were some issues. I called Aaron and the crew was quick to respond to address and correct the issues. Need for Build is not the cheapest but they're not the most expensive either. I will be using them for future projects including a botched pavers job I had done in November 2022 by a substandard contractor. Thanks much Aaron & Angelo!

From design and layout, to haul away and rebuild. Osher and his team were incredible. Not only did they save our home with a new retaining wall, they made it look beautiful in the process. Excellent communication during the whole project. We couldn't have hoped for a better experience.

Need for Build transformed my front yard from what was essentially a parking lot of paver stones, to a beautiful oasis! The difference is so stark that many of our neighbors have complimented the work. Isaac, Jonathan, and Mikey were a great team to work with.

Working with Need for Build was easy and collaborative. Isaac sent over a proposed landscape design, we worked together to finalize it, and I submitted it to my HOA within a few short days. Due to the way the company staffs its projects, Need for Build was able to get me on calendar within 2 days of my HOA approving my landscape design.

During the project, the team was efficient and asked questions when appropriate, to make sure I would be happy with the final product. I was able to give them some direction as the project was ongoing, and they were open to tweaks without issue. They completed the project within 2 weeks--which is exactly within the timeframe they proposed--and we are so happy with the end result. See for yourself! I would absolutely hire these guys again with all my home renovation needs.

We are happy with the work Need for Build did for us. We needed a custom patio re-done as our old one was falling apart. We first called a patio company but they said they were not able to build it the way we wanted. Need for Build was able to accommodate us. Their workers did an excellent job. They were very respectful and cleaned up after they were done with the build. Our project managers Avi & Jonathan were very knowledgeable & always available for questions. Overall we are pleased with our finished patio.

Absolutely amazed at how well this company delivered on its services. I had a retaining wall built in the backyard that had limited access, and they pulled it off as smooth as ever, professional, on time, great communication, and even finished the job earlier than expected. The wall and steps turned out beautiful! I am a very satisfied customer and highly recommend this construction company.

Need for build INC is a great company that is very professional and willing to work with their customers. We had part of our backyard cemented and rain gutters installed. NFB was willing to work with our budget and are worth every penny. Although we only cemented a part of our backyard the quality of their work far exceeded our expectations! Doron came out to our house for the initial meeting and he provided excellent customer service. He came by everyday to check on the progress of the work being completed and made sure we were happy every step of the way. NFB have a high standard and take pride in the work they complete. We are planning on having a huge house renovation in a couple of years and we will definitely be going with NFB. We highly recommend NFB for any interior/ exterior home remodeling. We can't thank Doron enough and NFB. We could not have asked for a better experience!

Ivan, Robert, Mikey and their team at Need For Build did an excellent job for us! They installed pavers, turf, poured concrete in our side yard, and built a water feature for us and also in collaboration with Moon Nursery they planted 14 trees and 16 jasmine vines and installed water irrigation and drippers. These guys go above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy and satisfied. They do high quality work at a pretty incredible pace. Two months after the project was completed I contacted them about one of the drippers and the next day they sent someone to take care of it. I strongly recommend them.

The contractor that we ever had. We have been living in our home since 1995 and here now and then we have some minor and major repairs and project and Need for Build, Inc. came to our rescue with a very professional crews and representative. Upon discussing and presenting the company and what can they do for us as far as cost, quality of work, required permit and paperwork, there was no doubt in our mind that Need fo Build is the best for us. We did ask 4 companies to assist our project and Need fo Build, Inc. has the best to offer.

We started a backyard and retaining wall project with Need for Build in October. The project was structured in two phases, with Phase 1 scheduled for completion in early December and Phase 2 in February. The total quoted price for both phases was $91,000.

We understand that construction projects can run into delays or minor cost adjustments. However, we are now two days away from March and Phase 1 is still not complete. Additionally, the projected total cost increased to over $120,000.

Throughout the project, communication was inconsistent. At times responses were quick, but there were also frequent periods where workers did not show up or did not arrive when scheduled. There were no formal submittals provided, and a custom fence was ordered that was not even close to what we had discussed.

Due to the delays, we hired another company to complete Phase 2. That portion of the project was completed in a week and a half and came in $35,000 less than the revised pricing we were given.

Two weeks ago, a representative came by on a Friday and repeatedly called requesting final payment for Phase 1, despite the work still being incomplete. Since then, there has been no meaningful communication or progress toward finishing the project.

Unfortunately, our experience has been marked by significant delays, major cost increases, poor communication, and incomplete work. We cannot recommend Need for Build based on our experience.

👌
