Katherine R

Sorin sent his architect Kasia to first talk about design options for adding a kitchenette to create an ADU. Kasia was thoughtful and careful in her plan. Then Sorin sent an estimate which was thorough and very fair in its price and scope. I talked with Sorin about possible modifications and he took the time needed to talk through my concerns. It’s no wonder he has all 5 star reviews! And I add mine. I highly recommend Feraru & Assoc

I highly recommend working with Sorin and his team. They recently remodeled our bathroom including updating electrical and plumbing. The crew was considerate, clean, and, most importantly, they care about the quality of their work. Sorin took time to explain issues as they arose and options for resolution without any pressure. They definitely have my business for any future projects.

Had a great experience collaborating with Sorin and his team to help me renovate my house. From earthquake retrofitting and structural reinforcements to a new garage slab, drainage, and beautiful hardwood floors, they handled everything efficiently and helped me land on time. Folks are professional, organized, and kept the site immaculate. Their expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the process easy and stress-free.

Sorin and his crew completed an extreme makeover to our beautiful home. The project was finalized in almost 4 months. His designer/architect was a real problem-solver and a very talented designer, and she helped us with city permits. The crew was just amazing to work with; responsive and easy going, always on time, and eager to please. Sorin was also a fantastic problem-solver—we received good advice, and the overall cost was more than reasonable. We are happy we decided to work with him, and we are happy to recommend him.

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Feraru & Associates Building and Design for a major renovation project on my home. As a family-owned business, their commitment to quality and personalized service stood out to me from the start. Before making my decision, I carefully researched and compared several construction companies, and Feraru & Associates Building and Design consistently rose to the top. Leading the team was Sorin Feraru, a highly skilled contractor whose professionalism and expertise made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Sorin and his team exceeded my expectations every step of the way. The project itself was quite complex, involving a complete overhaul of my kitchen, bathrooms, windows replacement, and installation of a new roof. Despite the challenges, Feraru & Associates tackled each aspect with precision and care, ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly. What truly impressed me was their dedication to fairness in pricing without compromising on quality. I found their rates to be competitive, and the value they provided was unmatched. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the renovation — every room feels transformed, and the craftsmanship is exceptional. Throughout the project, the entire team maintained a high level of professionalism and respect for my home. They were punctual, courteous, and always took precautions to ensure a clean and safe work environment. Whether it was wearing masks or covering floors, their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of their work. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Feraru & Associates Building and Design to anyone seeking top-notch craftsmanship and a seamless renovation experience. They are a team of skilled craftsmen who go above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. I am grateful for their expertise and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Sorin and his team recently replaced our rotted balcony with a beautiful new steel and redwood deck. It was a challenging project with very difficult access to the work site, cumbersome and heavy steel beam and posts, and of course the chaos of a global pandemic. Sorin was creative in solving any problems that arose and very collaborative working with us, including making a number of keen suggestions that directly improved the project. His team has a wide variety of skills and great senses of humor, we were very lucky to find Sorin and his crew, highly professional, great communication, and all-around top level craftsmanship and construction knowledge. I'll certainly be looking to Feraru & Associates first for all future remodeling projects.
