Valley Home Builders inc.

We had a great experience working with Valley Home Builders for our ADU. There's some inherent challenges with construction of this scope (especially when it comes to permits), and our project was no exception, but I felt that the process was made very transparent to us, especially by Yazan at VHB, and in the end we are very happy with the final product. I would recommend them to anyone looking to build an ADU.

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Yazan and Natalie on our ADU project! From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence truly stood out.

The project was completed right on time, which is a rare and much-appreciated achievement in the construction world. Their follow-through was exceptional—any questions or concerns we had were promptly addressed, and they kept us informed every step of the way.

The quality of their work exceeded our expectations. Every detail was executed with precision, and the finished ADU looks stunning. It's clear that they take immense pride in their craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend VHB to anyone looking for a reliable and talented home builder. Thank you for making our vision a reality!

I have had the pleasure of working with Yazan on multiple ADU projects, and each experience has been exceptional. Yazan and his team are incredibly detail-oriented, highly communicative, and great to collaborate with.

Their transparency in all aspects of their work is truly invaluable, ensuring trust and clarity throughout the process. I highly recommend Yazan and his team at Valley Home Builders to anyone looking for a professional and reliable General Contractor for their projects.

This review below was posted on Yelp but for some reason it is now hidden and listed under "not recommended reviews" at the very bottom along with many others. Now I understand why people say yelp reviews are not reliable.

As a real estate investor partner myself and part of the bay area real estate group, I now feel compelled to share my experience with Valley Home Builders to protect my community. Issue is still ongoing since October 2022 (over 2 years). We've had over 40 issues to keep track. They are a "No first" mentality and will make it challenging to get reimbursed for the damages they caused.

i.e. - I experienced two major water damages that damaged the hardwood floor after the leak (minor but visible) and increased my utility bill by $300 for two months to dry the wood after removing the newly finished dry wall. I have no solar panels. So far they have agreed to compensate $500 for the hardwood floor damage and $100 for the utility bill even with billing proof for the entire year.

I hope as a company, they will own their mistakes, be transparent with future customers, and work harder to gain trust.

=====Yelp review that is now somehow hidden==========
During the time of construction, I had to adjust my lifestyle because I relied a lot on Airbnb rental income as a single mom. Unfortunately the project unexpectedly delayed for 16 months (2yrs+ since demo) causing major financial damage and mental stress throughout these times.

Financial damage
1. Rental income opportunity loss - $26,400
2. Lost and damaged items in home - $2,945
3. Electricity bill to dry wood after the major water damage they caused - $650

Memorable incidents
1. After 1.2 yrs of patience, I texted "Do your job!!" to which, Alex Vatani responded "Nothing justifies your attitude". This is after extreme delay and two major plumbing/water damages.

2. Alex always kept saying he did us a favor by calling in the HVAC since it stopped working during construction but they "didn't touch anything". Months later, I hired another HVAC who discovered half the duct was filled with construction saw dust, nails, and screws (see images). My son and I struggled with no hot air throughout the entire winter. They failed to cover the vent during the 2 yr construction.

3. When I confronted Mehdi Vatani, the CEO, asking politely about when we can discuss about the property damage including cupped hardwood floors caused by their water damage, he responded "I'll see you in court".

4. After 2 years, about a month before completion, Alex Vatani said "I know you can't trust us and I have to earn it but let's sit together and review all the damages." (not in these exact words but similar) and then disappeared.

5. He said he re-ordered the house number because right now it's 3 different fonts and various materials...B is a sticker (see picture) but nothing came. They "just got random ones to pass the inspection".

I wanted to shed some light around their lack of empathy, customer service, and endless empty promises.

We recently built an ADU with Valley Home Builders and would definitely work with them again. From the beginning, the operation manager Yazan had always been transparent about pricing, respected our budget and kept us on track. The architect Natalie was so nice to work with; she considered our needs and got us through the permitting process with no comments regarding the architectural design. The project manager Alex was also amazing. The whole Valley team: their building works were beautiful! Like any big construction project, there’re some small hiccups along the way but Valley always tried their best to resolve and meet our expectations. All in all, we’re very happy!
