Capital Builders, LLC

David has been unprofessional. He decided early on that he didn't want our business and stopped responding for weeks on end. We asked for very specific estimates and he would never deliver an estimate to the spec of what was asked.

When asked simple questions such as what power of exhaust fan should be used, he insisted we pay $100+/hr for his expertise to even get an answer.

If he would have been up front and told us that he didn't want to work with us, the rating would be different, but the fact that we contacted him and he led us along for weeks to ultimately ghost us is frustrating. I would not recommend working with Capital Builders.

Capital builders has been amazing more than once. They have been responsible, respectful and diligent. They did a downstairs remodel and it was great. I will continue to use them and refer them to friends, family and anyone looking for a professional team.

I can’t express how happy I am with the work Capital Builders that did on our house. David and his crew stepped into a nightmare when we discovered dry rot and termite damage to the back of our house of a scope we could not have foreseen. It was definitely nerve racking to face not only the initial damage we found out about, but how extensive it became. David was sensitive to how he communicated bad news to us as he kept us informed. Since the scope of the work was unknown, David charged man-hours instead of a flat rate which made sense due to the nature of this job. It was very difficult, though, not knowing until the end of the job what the total cost was, which, while it was higher than expected, was totally fair due to the top notch quality of work and attention to detail. Since man-hours were charged, updates to follow the costs would have better prepared us to know what to expect for the final invoice. David took pictures to share all the damage with us as he found it since we weren’t there during the day, so we could stay informed. David’s transparency and honesty was very refreshing. Because of his transparency, we completely trusted David and his crew with all the work that they did. He patiently explained anything we didn’t understand, spelled out where our money was going and gave us choices to keep our costs down. He communicated in a timely manner answering emails when we had questions. We found it worked best to get answers to our questions by keeping emails short and asking a direct question in the email title. There were a few extra things done free of charge for us which we were extremely grateful for. One project in particular went way above and beyond what either of us expected, but they saw it through to the end without hesitation or taking any compensation. David and his crew take pride in their work and it shows. Miguel’s dedication to his work and the quality of his work were admirable. Besides this huge month long job David did for us, we also hired him for two smaller jobs. In the course of one of those jobs, more damage was found on the front of our house, which David shared with us through pictures, that we also had him repair. This damage would not have been discovered if Miguel had not found it as he was caulking the rest of our house. I know repairing this damage now will save us from extensive damage in the future. At times, we were offered the possibility of Saturday work being done, which we agreed to. He has since re-sided the remainder of our house and it looks great! We had a hiccup with determining window trim that would work aesthetically for us and meet the builder's requirement to prevent future damage, but after much consideration and a lot of thinking outside the box, a solution was found. David sticks to his principles to ensure he can do the best quality work that will stand the test of time. I highly recommend David and his crew for repairs or any home projects or improvements!

The project delivery was excellent. David under-promised and over-delivered. His crew was punctual, efficient and very courteous. The final product exceeded expectations.

The Capital Builders team helped us out with several exterior improvement projects we had been struggling to complete, let alone, start. His team did work in 5 days that would have taken me 6 months (on top of the 2 years I've been sitting on them). Being in the construction industry myself, it was difficult for me to accept hiring an outfit to come in to do work that I can (theoretically) do myself (but not as well). But after meeting David, evaluating his quote (very fair) and considering his zero-pressure (solution-based, not sales-focused) and very concise modus operandi (no wasted words), I became absolutely comfortable with the endeavor.

The result from our experience is an eye-opening lesson in the value of time. Moving forward, I will now ask myself, "what will this duration of time be worth to me and my family?" Because unlike dollars, I cannot earn up lost time that could have / should have been spent with my family; especially since our kiddos (5 year old boy/girl twins) are only half way through the period of life where they still enjoy our company. And that element of time savings is really where we found the most value in Capital Builder's delivery. No worries. Accurate costs. Swift and strong delivery.

We have absolutely zero reservations about calling up Capital Builder's again for our next home improvement challenge.

David and his crew rescued me from a botched job (so embarrassed). They did not make me feel bad for having hired a dud. Instead they did a magnificent job! Always on time, clean, respectful, communicative and major attention to detail. David carefully researched products that would work for my house and budget. Hire this company. Doing it right will save you money in the long run, plus, you'll have a gorgeous finish. The job they did for me was to rebuild my deck, upper and lower, including framing. Plus they installed a new cable railing, super sleek. They also secured my spiral stair case, not a small thing. All of this was done on my floating home. I'm so happy with Capital Builders.

Capital Builders did a fabulous job with our recess lighting job. David and his crew are amazing, patient and efficient. I would recommend them for any home remodel, build or construction need.

David and his crew were courteous, responsive and very professional. They did great work for a reasonable price on a tricky fence repair job. Strongly recommended.
