Maria has been great to work with. She is available by phone, text, and email. She is quick to respond, patient, thorough, and incredibly kind.
Her extensive network of subcontractors has been able to help us with all aspects of our remodeling projects. For example, we tried on our own to go directly to businesses for work/quotes and were met with, “no, not possible,” or “that will be custom and very expensive,” and when we let Maria take the lead she was able to find us multiple quotes for windows and skylights specifically, and all for less than what we were able to find on our own.

I would like to thanks Maria deeply. I called 50+ handyman companies, they all can not do my work, only Maria! I got her number from referral. She is so nice, and so detail to explain everything to me. It is my first time to handle this kind of issue, I do not know anything about it. She is so nice and patiently to describe and explain everything to me. Highly Highly recommendation. When every time I have issue with my property, I will think Maria at first! highly recommendation!

We purchased a condo in Laguna Woods and needed new flooring. a friend who lived in Laguna Woods referred us to Project Build. e had a challenging project too, they need to match a curve in the existing tile with the new flooring. Maria and her teams did such a fantastic job. We were so please we hired her team to redo all the flooring and paint our house before putting it on the market. We sold the house in 1 day and at over the asking price, which would not have been possible without Project Build doig their magic. I highly recommend Project Build!!

Being an investor doing house flips, it is important for me to stay on budget. Maria of Project Build is a joy to work with. She listens closely to my needs and goals. I am fortunate that she also helped me with the design and source reasonably priced finish materials. I will definitely recommend her. They were on time in finishing the renovation and stayed on budget. More importantly, she kept me in the loop on every phase. Their customer service is remarkable!

Maria is quite simply the best. She was our contractor for a complete home remodel and the results are wonderful. She was on top of every detail, kept the project on schedule and was a joy to work with. Maria was open and honest, full of great ides and very sensitive to our wants and needs. The subcontractors she used were both very skilled craftsman and very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a contractor. I have nothing but praise for her.

Maria and her team did an an awesome job remodeling our entire house. Over the course of the 18-month project we modernized all of our bathrooms and the kitchen, put in new floors and windows, upgraded the electric and plumbing, made structural changes inside and out, painted the entire home, and repaired many small and large issues that had developed in our 30+ year old house. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. At every step of the process, Maria was actively engaged in ensuring the work was done to the highest level and on budget. She and her excellent team earned our trust and confidence

We wanted to create a more open space between our family room and kitchen. We spoke with a few general contractors regarding removing a wall and we decided on using Project Build Construction. They did great and were so pleasant to work with. They re-enforced the beam and supports. Moved electrical outlets and switches and installed new recessed lights. Their drywall, texture, and paint work is so good that we can't hardly tell where a wall used to be. Will use them again for any work we will need in the future.

We just had Maria Nicholson helpi us with a kitchen remodel and changing the floors thruout our house.
We had a great experience working with her. She handled everything quickly, kept up with what her subs were doing on a daily basis (sometimes even more frequently), and kept us current on what to expect. We weren't blindsided with additional costs. But of course, we added work requirements which she promptly wrote additional invoices for.
We are happy with the result and were very happy with the process. We look forward to working with her again.

This past year I had some really bad luck at my condo with severe water damage paired with an incapable HOA Management company. After interacting with several contractors, I came across Maria at Project Build Construction Group and I immediately knew I wanted to work with her. Unlike all the other contractors I had dealt with, Maria was very in-tune and focused on my particular situation and needs. In addition to being very detail-oriented, she was very responsive and accessible every step of the way. She worked with me in communicating with my HOA's insurance company in securing the funding we

Project Build did a great job on my bathroom remodel! I would recommend them to anyone in Orange County. Maria, the owner told me they do everything from Kitchens to Roofs. Although they are based out of Laguna Hills, they were happy enough to work on my home in Irvine. Check out the photo of my new shower :)

We have used Calvin and Maria of Project Build Construction to remodel our home. We wanted to create a more open space and a bigger kitchen. The first time we met them, we already felt comfortable. They listened to our needs and offered great suggestions. After talking with two other contractors we decided to go with our gut feeling. And we were right. Maria helped us a lot in selecting cabinets, countertop, fixtures and paint colors. It was a very pleasant experience with them. The work was done in a very timely manner and their crew did a fantastic job. We love it!

For those of you interested in getting your bathrooms, kitchens, and roofs remodeled, Maria and Calvin are the best to reach out to! They offered excellent customer service, elaborate measures, and proficiency. I was very lucky to have these two come to my home to revamp my house into a beautiful home. I strongly recommend anyone interested in getting their homes remodeled to call them for business.
