Bobby Watkins2023-12-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough great things about this company. We decided to go with them for our kitchen remodel after getting multiple other bids. They were not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. However, when I contacted them for an estimate and David came out, I quickly became very comfortable and happy with what he had to say/offer/ and explain what was possible. From the original estimate to the final completion of work David was always happy to communicate and explain what they were doing. They were always on time, clear on communication and all of them professional and with a smile. They all took great care in our home. We are extremely happy with the results of our beautiful kitchen and would not hesitate to recommend 1 Degree Construction for any kitchen remodeling project you may have in mind.

The other half of the American dream of home ownership is knowing who to call when your 80+ year old house needs repair. In our case, it's 1Degree Construction. PROJECTS 1Degree Construction worked on several consecutive projects for us. We started small. When we saw the quality of their work, we had them do more involved work, including doing mold remediation and fully repairing a termite ridden wall that had been waterlogged. Among other things, this involved redoing the yard drainage while paving part of the yard in a manner that would blend in with the look of house. PLANNING With each project, Omri, the production manager, consulted with us on what we wanted and the accommodations that had to be made to allow us to stay in the house while the work was ongoing. This was important as it related to our health and life circumstances. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. His input helped fine tune our planning for the more involved work that had to be done. BUDGET Pricing was very fair and reasonable, and the payment terms very clear. Everything was done on time, or sooner, and on budget. WORK QUALITY 1Degree’s workmanship was first rate and thorough. Their team always showed up on time. They didn’t consider the job done until we were happy with every detail and were at all times respectful of our concerns, property and time. BOTTOM LINE We were so impressed with 1Degree Construction that we have already recommended them to friends. They took a typically stressful experience and made it as painless and affordable as possible. We will not hesitate to use them again. Kelly Hu2023-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I collaborated with Thai on my second-floor addition project. Initially, my plan was to demolish the entire house and rebuild it from scratch. However, due to budget constraints, I was unable to proceed with that approach. Fortunately, 1 Degree proposed a brilliant alternative by extending the second floor and remodeling the rest of the house. I couldn't be happier with this solution, especially considering the budget I had available.
