TurnerBuilt

If you’re new to remodeling and haven’t a clue, call Bruce at «TurnerBuilt» in Half Moon Bay. I have been planning my dream kitchen for years and when the time came to finally start my kitchen remodel, I had no clue were to begin. I knew I needed someone who could take charge and create the kitchen I had been planning. We had interviewed two other contractors and then my husband and I met Bruce. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative and understood what we wanted. Bruce explained the process and we knew right away we were going to hire «TurnerBuilt». Bruce is calm and very patient. After he had the plans drawn up, he helped us with the changes until we got it just right. Bruce worked with us to stay within our budget, although there were a few things I just had to have. Along the way I came up with more ideas and pictures, and Bruce and Chad, our personal go-​to guy, were very accommodating. They looked at my ideas and made them real; actually, the results were better than I imagined they would be.
If you have a dream kitchen or any remodel in mind and you want it done right, Bruce and his team can make it come true. They are all friendly and trustworthy and clean up every day. I love how friendly and responsible Chad (our go-​to guy; yes, you get one) was with our dog, Calvert. He made sure that the gates were always closed and the sliding door was open so that Calvert could come in and out while he was working. If you have questions, they have the answers. My advice to anyone working with this wonderful company (or any company) is to let them do their work and if you want to talk about anything, do it before or after they start the job. In the future if we need any work done, I know who to call, «Bruce». If you want a kitchen to be proud of and show off call «TurnerBuilt.

This guy is such a flake.
In Feb. this year I called Bruce, I had a huge remodel project (100k + budget) and I was looking for a bid based on his great Unilocal score. He was great over email communication (he was at a conference) came to my house when he got back, and told me in a few days he would give me an estimate. A week goes by and he emails me to say «you know, I don’t have the time for this, and I know you have other people bidding, so I’m going to bow out.» This was fine enough.
Now, in September, we have a substantial home repair that I am taking bids for (dishwasher issue with water damage in the kitchen) I have spent 5 weeks trying to track this guy down. He calls and says he’s coming, then leaves a message saying he can’t be bothered to sit in traffic and he’ll sync up with me the next week– week goes by, no call, so I call him, hear nothing… so I call his assistant and she has to call him to find out «he’s booked straight for another 2 weeks and they’ll keep my number.»
Umm… What? I’ve been really nice throughout all of these communications, flakey no-​calls and lazy «it’s just too much effort to drive 10 miles from my office» moments. But enough is enough. You don’t deserve a perfect Unilocal score, dude.

I first met Bruce Turner when he was recommended as an «expert witness» to help us evaluate the quality of a remodel (with another contractor) that was not going well. Bruce eased my mind and quickly earned my trust with his patient explanations and wise counsel. Fast forward to needing some additional work done, and TurnerBuilt was my first call.
Although it wasn’t a big project, Bruce’s communication was fast and friendly, and he was extremely flexible with scheduling. Most of the work was performed by his long-​time employee Steve, and we are just thrilled with the outcome as well as the process. Steve’s diligence, professionalism and demeanor were wonderful. He was unflappable in the face of surprises/​challenges, and came up with great solutions on the spot. I quickly learned to trust him implicitly.
It’s no small thing to say I wish I had met Bruce sooner and hired him to do our entire remodel. I wholeheartedly recommend TurnerBuilt whether your project is large or small — but I also secretly hope they never have so much work they can’t help us out with a little thing here or there. Thanks for being such a bright spot, Bruce!

TurnerBuilt just completed an extensive kitchen renovation for me. What a fantastic experience — Bruce Turner came over to look at the kitchen of a new house I’d just bought and worked with me to help create my dream kitchen — Bruce is awesome to work with. He’s extremely creative and several of his «creative ideas» resulted in opening up the house in a positive way.
His team is top notch — Chad is the person I got to know best — he’s such a perfectionist from putting up plastic sheeting to protect the rest of the house and new appliances from the work dust to calming me down when I had an anxiety attack when the work first began. When I’d ask for something outside the original plan he would think about it for a while, talk to Bruce and then offer suggestions that worked really well. I felt completely safe leaving him alone in the house while I ran errands and I know this may sound silly but after the project was completed I missed having him around to talk to.
I also got to meet Francisco and Steven who, once again, did excellent work. Bruce and his team insist on quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. A while after the kitchen was completed I found several of the kitchen cabinet doors that need tweaking a bit. Bruce had Steve come over to fix them — again impressive work and support.
I will definitely use them for future work that needs to be done.

TurnerBuilt just completed a kitchen remodel for us. The process was seamless and the results are just amazing. Bruce has been in the business for over 30 years, is an amazing communicator and follows through exceptionally. He is patient, kind, funny and just an overall great person to work with. He has the ability to make a stressful project, not stressful! We had his right hand man, Steve, leading the crew on our project and I just cannot think of a more thoughtful, organized and detail-​oriented person for the job. He, Chad and Francisco treated our home like it was their own and made such a large, potentially insanely messy job so live-​able with two young children (one of them with asthma so you can imagine the effects of remodel dust). I was grateful for how neat and tidy they kept their workspaces and our home. Steve did plumbing work, electrical work, added a large skylight and large window, coordinated the countertop, flooring and cabinet subs and did all the finish work from the very simple task of painting, installing plumbing fixtures, updating our old intercom system, etc. to the extremely difficult– installing a custom, super fragile glass tile backsplash. He is just awesome in his craft, is super hard-​working and honest. He is also pleasant, so fun, super kind, patient and great around kids. TurnerBuilt is very skilled at their task and can literally do everything involved in a home remodel. Besides this kitchen remodel, they have also helped us with a bathroom project as well as locate and fix a water leak at our front entry porch (not easy to find the source of a water leak but Steve did it!). We have had three years of history working with TurnerBuilt and look forward to working with them again for our future remodel projects.

We’ve had Turnerbuilt do two remodel jobs at our home. One was a kitchen remodel that included major structural work to take out bearing walls to make a great room out of three separate spaces. Coastal Kitchen Designs came up with a marvelous plan and Turnerbuilt made it happen on schedule and on budget. Their attention to detail and Incredible customer service made a very extensive remodel as painless as it could be.
The second job was a bathroom remodel. The quality of work was great. When issues arose they were quickly and professionally resolved.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Turnerbuilt to anyone considering a professional remodel with superior customer service.

I grew up in a contractor family, life as I know it has always revolved around building in one way or another.
A local friend of mine had me over some years back as his deck was being built and I had a chance to see it near completion and after the project was finished. I have to say it is one of the finest design projects I have seen first hand.
The finish and workmanship is second to none and the crew is among the best. After completion I watched his family of several generations sprawling out across the deck, some enjoying the hot tub while the parents enjoyed the sitting area built into the planter boxes. This was a thing of beauty, a place for family and friends to enjoy.
The fact of the mater is that this is not the only project Turnerbuilt has done for his family and I do not see it as the last.
Quality work and craftsmanship is sometimes hard to come by but I think that this company has both of these qualities to spare.
Ask someone for yourself.
Enjoy!
