After getting quotes from 6 different contractors, I was close to giving up on the project altogether. Quotes came in all over the board and we were left with varying degrees of confidence that people could execute or understand our vision. Then we met Idan. He called when he said he would call, delivered a detailed quote, and answered every single question we had (which were many). Idan was easy to talk with and understood our vision, it felt like he was invested and willing to collaborate. Construction on your home feels high stakes: it's a ton of money, it's destructive to your routine, it's messy, it's a freakin emotional roller coaster watching the sausage get made—and Idan stayed with us the entire time. No problem is a problem for Idan, "Don't worry, we'll fix it. Be there tomorrow." He keeps a good attitude and isn't ruffled when you are (and you will be). The thing we most appreciated about Idan and his team was the level of transparency and communication. Being in a client facing role myself, I would never dream of making myself as available as this team does. I imagine it is rare in this business: when you ask a question, no matter how trivial, Idan and his team jump on it in near real time; it's incredible. Idan is creative, a practical problem solver, and a go getter—he wants to find a way and he does it as fast as possible. He tells you what he thinks and he wants to do what makes sense; he's not in the business of inventing expensive solutions. Our house is old and uneven and quirky and they just continued to work with what they had to achieve the aesthetic I was after. They didn't stop until I was happy. Having made it to the other side, I am so happy with the end result. Idan will have your back.

I've always dreamed of remodeling our bathroom, but the thought of tackling such a big project was overwhelming, especially since I didn't know where to begin. Initially, I reached out to various contractors for quotes, and fortunately, I stumbled upon Sunset Home Builders on Yelp. It was a stroke of luck. When Idan and Rotem, visited our home to assess the bathroom, their professionalism and helpfulness during the quoting process immediately stood out. When it came time to submit their quote, Rotem made a special effort to personally visit our place and explain every detail included in their proposal. This level of personalized attention was something I hadn't experienced with the dozens of other contractors who submitted quotes. I had narrowed my choices down to two contractors, but what truly convinced me to choose Sunset Home Builders was their unwavering determination and genuine enthusiasm for the project. Throughout the remodel, Idan went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. His exceptional project management skills made him a pleasure to work with. He was always available and maintained excellent communication throughout the project. He was attentive to my requests, addressed any issues promptly, and ensured that no shortcuts are to be taken. Most importantly, he was a great problem solver especially to unexpected challenges that came up. Idan's daily visits to the job site ensured everything was on track. The crew who came to our place everyday was very kind and respectful and showed professionalism from start to finish. Hiring Sunset Home Builders was a decision I didn't regret, especially as a first-time remodeler needing guidance and assurance. They truly made the entire project so easy and smooth. I feel extremely fortunate to have found them and will undoubtedly turn to them for all my future home improvement projects. I recommend Sunset Home Builders to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and dedicated team for their remodeling project.

Many thanks to Idan and team for making our primary bathroom a dream come true. The work was surprisingly fast, and the final result was better than we could have hoped for. From the planning stage to the construction and then to the finishing touches, the crews acted professionally and carefully. Idan was here every day keeping an eye on things and directing traffic. He accommodated our requests for changes along the way, and was incredibly easy to work with. We would recommend Sunset Home Builders for any home renovation project, big or small.

I wanted to remodel our old kitchen. All four bids were about the same, so price wasn't the issue. I just wanted someone to see my vision, and That person was Idan of Sunset Home Builders. The whole project was finished in less than six weeks. We were helped with the design, & finding the places to choose for tile, cabinets, appliances, etc. We are very happy with the results and look forward to working with them for our next project. We highly recommend them
