Loved Shai and everyone at Butel! I have used several contractors for different renovations and I have never been as happy from start to finish on a project as I was with Butel. Shai helped me with ideas, was honest about what was needed and what was not. Miguel and Angel , who work for Butel, gave me new ideas on how to place the bathroom tile as well as the cabinet for the island both of which came out better than anything I was imagining. Shai always answered my text and emails right away. At the end anything I did not like they were willing to change because they only wanted me to be happy

We LOVED working with Butel Construction! It's rare you hear someone say they loved working with their contractor but it's true - we genuinely had a great experience with them throughout the wholeprocess. We remodeled and added onto our kitchen, converted our garage to an ADU and designed front/backyard landscaping. Shai and his crew werealwayson top of it and very organized. For instance - he sent me a weekly schedule every Sunday and if new or unexpectedwork popped up - he would send a docusign same day so everything was always agreed upon in a formal way. They showed

My home looks gorgeous. I interviewed three other contractors and am so glad that I decided to work with Butel Construction. Shai had many ideas and suggestions for ways to remodel my townhouse, to make the best use of a small space, and to create a kitchen that looks contemporary and airy. Shai listened to my ideas and incorporated my sense of design with the result being the perfect space for me, in terms of both my lifestyle and taste (the other contractors seemed to have one look that was used for everyone). The workers were professional and highly experienced. One of the cabinets was scratched

I finished my whole house remodel and 5 months later am beyond thankful that I chose Shai and Butel Construction for the project. Seriously, I have no negative comments. On time, on budget, great input, always professional, calm in the storm that was sometimes me! And all this during The Covid. You know when someone says, "Don't worry, we got it" and you always worry more? NOT the case with Shai and the team. When they say it they mean it. I cannot recommend them more.
