Inspired Builders built our dream home--and on budget! What we did: full kitchen renovation (2 supporting walls removed) and we changed the whole kitchen layout, full guest bathroom, reconfiguration of master bedroom and master bathroom (added walls, created a closet space and changed layout), interior updates (new doors, new flooring in the ENTIRE home, new paint all over the home, plumbing, electrical, removal of a front exterior enclosed patio, ANDDDD completely redid the exterior of my home, changing it from wood to stucco. Phew! Yes, they basically built us a new home in a span of 5 + months so let's just say, we know them VERY well by now! Warning: this review is long BUT detailed as possible so hopefully it can help you make a decision for your own renovation(s).

W H Y Inspired Builders? We already knew how expensive this was going to be so it was VERY important for us to find contractors that we could trust. We interviewed 5 in total and all seemed similar (3D renderings, emphasis on past work, etc.), and what initially stood out to me was David's honest opinions. Right off the bat, he suggested ways I could save money, he offered layout suggestions and price differences. I knew he wasn't just trying to make a buck, and I knew right away that if we worked together, he would listen to me and have my back. There was zero pressure. Because if there's one thing I learned with major renovations, you NEED to be comfortable voicing what you want (or don't want) and that starts with how well you work with your team. Plus, there are always going to be surprises and knowing your contractor has your best interest in mind (both logically and budget-wise) is invaluable as you go through this crazy renovation journey.

P R O C E S S: This was also a big deal for me because I have never gone through any remodel before. I knew absolutely NOTHING. After signing the agreement, you go through several meetings to discuss everything with everyone (the contractor, your project manager, the foreman, the engineer and the interior designer). Having everyone under the same company was THE BEST PART!! I can't even express how easy it was! Everyone is aware of everything so nothing gets lost in translation. As deadlines pop up and you're being asked a million questions, knowing everyone works together under the same roof makes the journey seamless. Less for you to worry about!
Also, having a designer work with us was extremely valuable. You can Pinterest all you want, but nothing beats visiting stores and suppliers with a professional who understands pricing, colors, layout logistics, and who knows other suppliers so your designer can advocate for you. Shout out to Nicole! She was always there when we needed her- for advice, for meetups, phone calls, etc. My home is beautiful because of you!

Once you have all your material picked out (yes, you pick out the majority of the material before construction begins) the team starts! Here you just to have to trust the process! But one thing I'd like to point out is our construction team was EXTREMELY TRUSTWORTHY and also very cordial and hardworking. Not only did I know that the personal belongings we left in our home were safe, but they were constantly covered and protected from dust, dirt and harm. Our foreman, Raul, was so easy to talk to that I had zero problems asking him for anything. Several times we changed our mind and sometimes, we were unsure about certain things. But the team was always available for meetings (in person and over the phone) and always made sure we were all in agreement before any decision were made.

C O M M U N I C A T I O N: Inspired Builders excelled in this area! Our basic form of communication was through Whatsapp group chat where everyone involved was included. This made it easy for me to search through past conversations, images, documents and videos.
I can't express how important communication is when it comes to renos, and David and his team excelled in this area! Every single day, we were updated through whats app and provided with progress pics. David never hesitated to call me or text me for both small and urgent matters. He helps you with your own task list (purchase this, think about this, measure this)--as a working mom, it was so helpful to have such an efficient project manger on your side.

I have zero regrets working with Inspired Builders. Take a look at my photos and you'll see the AMAZING work they did on our home. Not only do I love my home, but I can confidently say that the entire, lengthy process of building my home was made sooo much easier and stress-free because of Inspired Builders. No horror stories here! We are constantly referring to them friends and if I ever need anything more done (hmmm maybe my garage?!!), I'll definitely be giving them a call again.
