This is the third time I have used this group, and it has always been a great experience with the workers, follow-up, and accounting.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Raymond.

We happily recommend Next Stage Design + Build services. We were concerned that we didn’t want the costs to inflate so we worked to avoid any significant change orders. Next Stage worked closely with us to achieve the no surprise result. The final cost was what we originally signed up for and it was done per the agreed schedule. That, in itself, is a huge testament to Next Stage.
Had we not spent the time upfront to carefully consider the design choices and instead made changes during the construction process we may not have had the same results of on budget and on time.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - They all had a high level of attention and service to our project.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - The team we worked with was pleasant and handled our concerns professionally. Since we were living in the rest of the house while the remodel was going on it was easy to communicate questions and updates. The Builder Trend application helped keep us up to date on schedule and made payments easy.

Employees Professionalism

Employees Professionalism - All employees listen to your requests and try to figure out what they can do to keep you happy.

Recognized Excellence - They all did a good job.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I have used Next Stage Design + Build for years, so I have previously left them a Google review.

I chose Next Stage Design + Build because I knew there would be so many decisions to make and so much coordination needed in my limited-access building that I might lose my mind. I appreciated so much the professionalism of the whole team, especially their clear communication with their team members, partners, me, and building management. The design help I received was invaluable and their ability to respond to last-minute changes of mind (just a few) and unexpected issues was impressive. The approvals and permit process with my building HOA and the City was managed with no headaches for me. Best of all, my project was finished ahead of schedule! I love the results and am looking forward to another 10 years in my home with all of my wish list checked off.

Employees Professionalism

Employees Professionalism - Everyone I dealt with was organized, clear, efficient, and thorough.

Sales Knowledge

Sales Knowledge - Gary was great at scoping out the project and figuring out the projected costs, then keeping me updated and informed. He captured changes and kept great notes, proving to be a valuable resource for all.

Project Designer Knowledge

Project Designer Knowledge - Dianne and Joy did a great job at figuring out my style and giving me some options to be a little daring if I chose. They coped well with last minute changes and all my questions. I was hesitant about a few things but decided to trust their knowledge, and am so happy with everything we planned.

Professional & Organized

Professional & Organized - Spreadsheet masters. Schedule was clear and adjusted as needed, mostly because they moved quicker than they'd hoped. BuilderTrend was a good resource and I appreciated the photos and project information posted there.

Communication

Communication - I was always able to get in touch with any team member if I had questions. It wasn't often because they kept me informed every step of the way.

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - I know that some of my appliances were tricky and the flooring was a challenge. But they figured it out.

Schedule

Schedule - Finished AHEAD of schedule! That never happens.

Clean & Safe

Clean & Safe - Every time I visited the site, usually on the weekend when nobody was around, everything was in good shape. They took a lot of care to keep my remaining fixtures and belongings safe and secure.

Work Done Right

Work Done Right - There were a few issues along the way, but these were handled quickly by Neera, Chip, and Tim.

Project Manager

Project Manager - Tim was super responsive to all my questions and was great at making decisions on the fly to keep everything on schedule and completed to his satisfaction. He was masterful at developing good relationships with my building management and the security/lobby guards who allowed access to my unit. This was essential in keeping the project on schedule and making everyone happy. Timlet me know when something came up—he didn't hide it from me but kept me informed about issues and their resolution. He was also respectful about my property and making sure others showed the same respect.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - I feel like Tim went above and beyond my expectations, especially in wrapping up the final details and making sure everything met with my satisfaction.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I know I could have done this remodel for less money, but I wouldn't have had the quality of workmanship and materials that I have. Most importantly, I probably would have had a physical, emotional, or mental breakdown somewhere in the process. Next Stage Design + Build gave me peace of mind through what is normally a stressful and complicated process. It's not easy to do a project like mine and bring it in close to or at budget and keep on track with the schedule, but they did an amazing job. Well worth the money and time!

Next Stage made the remodeling process easy and stress free. Since this was our first ever remodeling project, we relied heavily on their expertise for everything from design advice to managing the permits and inspections. They thought about every single detail so we never had to worry if we were missing something. Everyone we worked with was kind and knowledgable and we felt supported throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Next Stage and we're looking forward to working with them again on future remodeling projects!

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - We really enjoyed everyone we worked with - Keith, Joy, Tim, Chip, Brad, etc. We want to give a shoutout to Shaun because he was extremely helpful, kind, courteous, and contributed a lot to the success of our project. We appreciated the notes he'd leave for us, which included his willingness to come by anytime to help turn the electricity back on, etc. In the words of Darren, "Shaun is a badass."

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We had a great experience overall and are looking forward to work with Next Stage again on future projects!

My brother recommended Next Stage to me for the home improvement. If a friend is considering home improvements, I would recommend Next Stage to my friends. The Next Stage team was good to work with for the home improvement. From Sales to Project Manager to all the team that did the dry rot repair, the kitchen drawer guides, dishwasher installation, the electrical repair, and bathroom improvements, all were great. Even though this was a small project the work was well done. It's a good feeling to have a good home improvement experience after all is done.

Quality of work and customer service was great. The job was done to very high standards. It was quite expensive, but that is the tradeoff with having a reliable contractor you can trust to take care of every little detail.

Subcontractors Professionalism

Subcontractors Professionalism - Everyone was great - they did excellent work, and were very pleasant to work with.

Value

Value - I feel like you can save a lot of money by doing things piecemeal or going with some questionable contractors - but this is the tradeoff for having peace of mind knowing that we're working with an upstanding company. We've heard horror stories from friends who try to cut costs and all kinds of bad stuff happens with unethical contractors. With Next Stage we paid a premium knowing that the work will be done right, they are fully insured, and the project requires minimal effort on our part since they take care of so many details.

Project Manager

Project Manager - Brad is a real expert, and very honest and straightforward. Always made himself available when needed.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Francesca, Keith, Chip, and Brad were all great to work with.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - This is our second job with Case/Next-Stage. They really excel with complex projects like the floor extension or full kitchen remodels. Again, you're likely to find much cheaper bids, but that comes with potential risks and headaches.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Overall, working with Next Stage Design + Build was a pleasant experience. Every employee we dealt with was highly professional and skilled at their position. My wife and I went into the remodel aware of the challenges, and Next Stage approached the project professionally and fearless. There was no hesitation on the company’s part to communicate with us.

The subcontractor for installing the backsplash was a real craftsman with his work. All the subcontractors were very professional and supportive of our project and in providing their quality effort to make our kitchen remodeling successful.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - The remodeling effort is a daunting set of activities to do and coordinate. If we had to be the prime contractor for our kitchen remodeling, it would have taken us an ungodly amount of time and effort, a need of experience that we do not have to guide us. We appreciate the coordination, the resources, the allocation of special subcontractors needed to do the work, the scheduling, the permits needed, the new appliances that had to been chosen, and on and on. Thank you to our team at Next Stage Design + Build.

We’re so glad that we found Next Stage Design + Build. The results of our remodel are breathtaking.

Employees Professionalism

Employees Professionalism - Next Stage team is exceptional in the professionalism from the early estimation phase through planning and construction. They always listened to our concern and addressed them promptly. And for some difficult issue, they always did their best to problem solve the issues. They also did a clean up after each phase of the construction. Of course It could not be as good as professional cleaning service but the site was cleared of construction waste and we could easily move in and enjoyed our newly remodeled house!

Sales Knowledge

Sales Knowledge - Rita helped us set the scope of project and provided us corresponding quotes for different options so we had the flexibility to adjust the scope the project and set the proper expectation for the budget. She also helped us with the transition plan to divide the project into two phases which made our life much easier during the construction.

Project Designer Knowledge

Project Designer Knowledge - Dianne and Noor are so wonderful to work with. They helped us find the design that suite our life style and also aesthetic pleasing. One of the biggest challenge is that our house has no square room but they made everything fit nicely! We have several customized spaces - an cozy nook for friends/family gathering and a laundry room/mudroom that's perfect for our ourdoor lifestyle and a specialized kitty litter room for our cats that's so much easy to maintain etc. Their design really improve our quality of life greatly!

Lead Carpenter Professionalism

Lead Carpenter Professionalism - Shaun always went

Schedule

Schedule - Sometimes things did happen and affect the scheduling especially for project of this scope but besides the communication from the NextStage team directly we could also find the updated schedule on builder trend so delays were anticipated and we knew the reason behind them. This is one of the greatest part of working with the NextStage!

Clean & Safe

Clean & Safe - All the construction wastes were cleared from the site after each phases were done.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - I just want to express my appreciation for the whole team here again. Our project was not straight forward and we really appreciate that team helped us with all our concerns regarding this project from logistics, the safety of our beloved kitties during the construction, a design that accommodate our life style and the willingness and ability to work around the quirky characteristics of this house. This remodeling project no only give our house a beautiful update, it also makes our life so much efficient and easier. Thank you for your excellent work!

Before embarking on our renovation project my husband and I were both very hesitant to even go down the route of a renovation. You hear horror stories of people who have had a terrible experience. I even had one family tell me they have PTSD from their contractor and will never remodel a home again. I knew that if we were going to do this, my gut would guide me and let me know which company felt right and would be the right fit for our project. I was not wrong. I told my husband right from the start that Next Stage felt different and I felt comfortable with them (we met with MANY different companies). If we were going to spend our money on a project as big as ours I needed to have absolute trust from the beginning. Throughout the yearlong process, I was reassured over and over again that the decision to go with Next Stage was the right decision. Each and every step throughout the process was smooth, professional, and genuinely fun.

Employees Professionalism

Employees Professionalism - Each and every employee my husband and I met was very professional and courteous, but that is not why we love you guys! What is most appealing about your employees are that they have the right balance of professionalism mixed with authenticity and friendliness. I loved that they shared tidbits from their personal lives along the way. Rita could recommend places for us to check out when we traveled to Healdsburg. I know Paul loves Family Feud and had an amazing trip to Italy. Dianne was always quick to share photos of her little boy during our conversations of how rambunctious young boys can be and Noor would share guidance on parenting teens as my daughter is now entering that same stage. I could hang out with this group on a Saturday evening over dinner and have the best time. Professionalism was always there and that is great, but authenticity is what stood out to me.

Sales Knowledge

Sales Knowledge - Rita was with us from day one and there was not a step along the way that I didn't feel taken care of by her. Her ability to answer any and every question we had with confidence gave us such a sense of comfort. We knew she knew what she was doing and we did not have to worry. Budgeting, change orders, close outs, it all went incredibly smooth. Rita, you even moved midway through our project and that distance didn't matter once. You were still available and attentive to whatever we needed. Thank you for staying on board with us to the end. We would have understood if you hadn't. Moving and job changes happen every day and it would have been understandable if you had left our project mid-way. Thanks for hanging in there with us!

Project Designer Knowledge

Project Designer Knowledge - To write a review of these three incredible women in one section is just not fair! Dianne, Noor, and Berfin, THANK YOU for guiding the ship in the design phase. My husband and I have talked extensively about what we love the most in our new home and it goes back to the original design. We are still living in only a 1,500+ sq. ft. home and yet we feel we have gained SO much space and functionality in our home. This design was everything to us and we cannot thank you enough. I am not kidding when I say that each and every day I have a moment where I look around and reflect on how grateful I am. I promise you that is a genuine statement, each and every day I can't believe what you have given our family. Dianne and Noor, I am incredibly grateful for the endless hours we looked at more design choices than I care to ever look at again for the rest of my life ;-) While you are both familiar with my type-A personality, that personality does not extend into design elements and I was often overwhelmed at what might look good or what would be a good choice. The fact that you came to each and every meeting with things narrowed down for me was such a gift. You were patient with me while also moving me forward with gentle nudges which I very much appreciated. Lastly, thank you again for sharing yourselves during this process. We could have only talked about tile, grout, and lighting choices, but you were so much more personable with me and I look back on our meetings with a huge smile.

Lead Carpenter Professionalism

Lead Carpenter Professionalism - While we moved out of the home during our renovation we did not live that far away and often would swing by to check things out. Each and every time Ray was at our home we felt he took such good care of it and his attention to detail was as if it were his own home. He was so kind and courteous and his builder trend updates were always much appreciated. When we saw him on the schedule we knew after his visit we would have detailed images to view. While our interactions were not as frequent as they were with others on the team, please know how much we appreciate the care you took with our home, Ray!

Professional & Organized

Professional & Organized - Organization is my love language and throughout this process I have learned that it is also Next Stage's love language as well. This is why you guys were perfect for us ;-) Thank you for keeping things so streamlined and easy to follow throughout the past year.

Communication

Communication - Texts, emails, builder trend updates, phone calls, and visits. Can a client ask for anything more? Communication along the way from each and every person was phenomenal. Thank you for being available whenever we have needed you.

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - The entire process has been incredibly smooth for us and while there have been little things along the way that maybe you could classify as problems, they were dealt with in a very timely manner.

Expertise

Expertise - Without question we felt so safe and comfortable with our home in your hands. It sounds silly, after all it's just a house, but it was so much more than that. It was money being spent that we had saved for quite some time. It was our first home that we had purchased after moving to California in 2015. It was the home that sits next to our neighborhood school that our son attends. We handed over our home to you and that is not an easy thing to do. When you handed it back, you preserved the heart of the home while giving us years to grow into its new walls.

Schedule

Schedule - I don't know how it happened since everyone tells us renovation projects never end on time, but somehow it all worked out! We are incredibly happy to get back into our home before the Holidays.

Budget

Budget - Transparency around the budget, change orders, and closet outs were exceptional. We always knew where we stood with our finances and the budgeting of the project. Thank you for making that part of the project painless.

Clean & Safe

Clean & Safe - I cannot thank you enough for completing this project without disruption to the neighboring school, crossing guards, and hundreds of children that walk past our home on a daily basis. Right before you started demo on our home there was an incident in our district where a child was hit and killed by a car in a crosswalk going to school. It was such a tragic accident and I was terrified when you started construction that because of our home renovation, trucks and vehicles might hinder our crossing guard's visibility of the students. It was never an issue and I am so grateful everyone who came to our home was mindful of the traffic and children. I know some home sites are easier than others. Please know that the care you took to not block our streets is appreciate by me more than you will ever know.

Subcontractors Professionalism

Subcontractors Professionalism - Everyone we encountered was very professional and courteous!

Value

Value - We know that we could have saved money by going about our renovation in a different way or with a different company, however, there is no doubt in my mind that if we had, the experience would not have come close to being as good as it was with Next Stage. We had high expectations knowing what we were spending and you exceeded those expectations!

Project Manager

Project Manager - It speaks very highly of Paul that as soon as I hear his name, I get a smile across my face. He, of course, was the one behind the scenes managing every detail of our construction schedule but outside of that he is so personable and fun to chat with. Paul was happy to meet with us on a weekly or biweekly basis so we could see progress and ask questions, he responded very quickly over text and email, and dealt with any issues we had in a timely manner. The role of Project Manager is so vital to the success of a project and I realize that I say that not even knowing half of what Paul does behind the scenes. In fact, all the headaches and stress that he shouldered during our project so we didn't have to, makes him a freaking Golden God! I trusted him wholeheartedly every step of the way. You are good people, Paul, and I can't thank you enough for the time and attention you gave our home. The title of Golden God crossed my mind more than once of course (how could it not?!?!) but even more so Paul you are "the guy next door" which simply means, a neighbor and friend everyone would love to have.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Simply put, thank you for caring for our home as if it were your own. We are forever grateful!
