Cavalier Builders did a fantastic job on a couple of projects at my home and at my rental property. I had a complete bathroom remodel. They did a beautiful job. I also had the exterior, of both homes, painted . They did needed repairs as well. I am very happy with how the projects were completed. All of the workers were neat and cleaned up each afternoon. I would definitely recommend Cavalier Builders and will be using them for projects in the future.

We had several areas in our house that needed to be evaluated and repaired due to water damage from the heavy rains. We chose Cavalier Builders for many reasons. Sharon was very prompt and communicated well. He is clear on the project goals. His crew was careful and easy to work with.
Sharon came frequently to check on the progress and made sure things were done to our satisfaction. Overall we were very pleased with the work performed.

We got recently our new roof done by Cavalier Builders and they did a great job. Sharon and his team are very knowledgeable and fast workers. They took care of the permit process and our additional requests. They always arrived on time and cleaned up every day and were great at consulting with us if any questions or concerns came up. Sharon was always very easy to talk with and he even gave us some feedback about a leak problem in one of our bathrooms. Overall we are very happy with our choice to work with Cavalier Builders and we highly recommend Sharon and his team. We are looking forward to working with them on future projects.

Sharon and his crew were the best!! Easy to work with and they did an excellent job!! They remolded our guest bathroom and it is beautiful. We were under a time crunch with guests arriving and they got it done. Have already recommended them to a neighbor. The crew were respectful and cleaned up at the end of each day.

Sharon and David were absolutely fantastic with our bathroom remodel! We dealt with another contractor last year for a different project and they were terrible. Over promised, under delivered, and gave me contractor PTSD. They had a 5 star review though so when I originally met with Sharon, I had my guard up.
Fast forward and I cannot recommend Sharon and David enough. The finished the project in the exact timeframe they said they would, and everything was done top notch. They were extremely communicative throughout the process, and were just a pleasure to work with. Will absolutely use them on any future projects we have.

We are the fourth in our family to use this family owned and run business, which should really say something about this business, and we continue to refer. It started with my aunt and uncle to added onto their home in the Hollywood Hills, another aunt and uncle to redid their kitchen and built an attached man cave, and my mom who had her kitchen and every bathroom redone. We just had our builder grade bathrooms redone and I couldn’t be happier. We had the opportunity to work with Sharon and his crew of Felix and Marcel. I have no idea how Sharon keeps everything and everyone straight, but he does and with a smile and such graciousness. He is available, responsive, up front and on site to check the work and progress. The pricing is clear and broken down without hidden costs. And the time lines are spot on. He is present at the end for inspection/walk through and asks you to do the same and is always willing to fix any minor thing that might not be to your liking. Thank you Sharon, until the next project…

We love our new kitchen! Cavalier Builders did a fabulous job in getting it done. Sharon, our contractor, was great in organizing the different jobs from demolition, painting, cabinet installation, tiles, to plumbing in a timely manner. His team, consisting of Carlos (cabinet), Fernando (painting), Eddie (tiles), and Sammy (plumbing), were excellent at their jobs. They were professional, punctual, and just very nice guys. They always cleaned up every day and were very respectful of our space. I originally wanted white upper cabinets and natural base cabinets. However, once done, we didn’t like it. Sharon was great in allowing me to change my base cabinet color to a greenish gray which in hindsight turned out better than we expected.
When it came to choosing a contractor, Cavalier wasn’t the cheapest or the most expensive. We decided to go with them because it sounded like he had a team of workers who'd been with him for a long time. On top of that, Sharon was very prompt in replying to all of my texts and questions which I appreciated. He’s also very knowledgeable about everything and will help you along the way. I’m so glad we went with Cavalier because everything went smoothly and promptly. My family is enjoying our new kitchen and how bright and open it is now. Thank you, Sharon and your team!

I renovated the shower only. Contractor was was responsive, scheduled the job promptly and stayed on schedule, communication was great. I was always kept informed. Workers were dedicated and brainstormed with me when a tile size didn't quite fit. The recommended alternative worked well. Thank you for that! I wanted to keep the same "old-fashioned" 1940s look and Sharon helped select the tile of that era. I had to switch to white because it's impossible to color match old tile, but it looks great and blends well. Sharon was knowledgeable and knew how to fix the major shower leak I had that went all the way to the sub floor. The tenant is happy, my sister said "Oooh it's beautiful! They did a very good job" and I'm glad it was done professionally and fairly quickly.

Two bathroom remodels: I interviewed six contractors who had over 100 reviews with an average rating of 4.8 stars. Among them, Sharon stood out because he was direct, patient with our timeline, and worked within our budget. I appreciated that we were dealing with the owner rather than a salesperson, which wasn't the case with some other contractors. Additionally, Sharon had a consistent team instead of random subcontractors, which ensured accountability.
Our team was Eddie& Rigo, who worked on our 2 bathroom remodel every day. They were amazing! Timely, respectful, clean, and detailed in their work. Sharon's communication was excellent; he even responded after hours or on holidays (which I tried to avoid but appreciated his insights).
Sharon is easy to work with and helps create practical solutions. I highly recommend Cavalier Builders. In fact, we liked them so much that we've asked Cavalier to handle the next project of our living room and kitchen expansion. Thank you, Sharon and Cavalier Builders!

TLDR: Cavalier Builders are trustworthy, great quality, extremely responsive and problem solvers. I will 100% use them again for my future house projects and happily refer them to my friends/family.
My wife and I are fortunate to be new homeowners. We met Cavalier through a friend/referral, knowing the many horror stories about people's experiences with general contractors. We needed (1) a primary bathroom remodel, (2) a closet to bathroom conversion, (3) a primary bedroom closet creation, (4) new floors and (5) full interior paint job. We poured our savings into purchasing the home, and we are a dual-earning household with no help, so we needed to pick the right contractor to get the job done quickly and correctly the first time since we both work full-time.
David, Tal and their team began work immediately after we signed our contracts. They were hitting all of their milestones and keeping in touch with us throughout the process. David is very good at what he does. He had great vision in the overall project, and also the more granular items like how colors and textures would complement each other. Aside from his calming and reassuring nature, his most notable trait was his memory -- he could recall small details from our early conversations with ease. Tal is a trustworthy, ambitious and knowledgeable person as well. From speaking with him, you can easily tell that he truly cares about (and loves) the work that he does, and it shows in his commitment to answering weekend calls, showing up early and staying until the day's job is finished. It was refreshing to see that level of commitment coming from Tal.
Cavalier finished the project on time and within the originally quoted budget, but as these things go, we did encounter some issues. Unbeknownst to us and to Cavalier, the bathtub that was installed in our primary bathroom was a manufacturer's defective bathtub. We texted David and Tal the morning after we discovered the defect, and they sent guys over to determine the cause. They had plumbers go underneath our house to check if there was a problem with the installation, but that was not it. Ultimately, David filed a claim with Kohler notifying them of the issue, and Kohler sent out technicians to check if it was a manufacturer or an installation defect (it was determined to be a manufacturer defect). Kohler noted they do not typically cover the cost of labor, but they were willing to pay for a portion of the removal/reinstallation costs. It was not an easy replacement of the tub, as the tub was built into the flooring/tiling, so David had his guys come out to remove the glass door, demo a portion of the flooring/tiling, cut the tub in half to remove it, and then reverse the whole process by reinserting the new tub, redoing the flooring/tiling, re-caulking the bathroom and re-installing the glass sliding doors. By the time they were done, it looked exactly like the first time, but with the correct tub.
When the bathtub job was complete, Cavalier was coming out of pocket for the additional labor because Kohler was not willing to cover the entire labor costs. David told me not to worry about the additional costs, and that he looked forward to our next projects together. Because the experience was so positive overall, and because they problem-solved this bathtub defect after the job was completely finished and paid for (when I expect most GCs would have become unresponsive), I sent their company a portion of the additional costs as goodwill.
They say that you can only have 2 out of 3: (i) speed, (ii) cost and (iii) quality. We trusted Cavalier to get the job done and I would firmly say that they basically got as close to all 3 as I've seen. Thank you David, Tal and team for making our new home into our dream home!!
(Sorry for lack of pictures (privacy) but everything came out beautifully)

I worked with David and Sharon on the remodel of two bathrooms. Their estimates were very reasonable and they were so easy to work with. They were quick to respond to questions and they provided really helpful suggestions. The work was done on time, without going over the budget, and the results were great! Both bathrooms look amazing and their suggestions were spot on. I will definitely work with them in the future on any other projects we have in the house.

Sharon from Cavalier Builders was the only contractor willing to work around my work schedule and come to my home on a (rainy) Saturday to give me an estimate on my balcony.
Throughout the whole project, if I was not at home, Sharon kept me updated with their progress whether it be through still pictures or through video. If I had any questions, he was very quick to respond back.
I appreciated the respect the team had for my home by placing floor protection on areas they would mainly be walking on, putting plastic coverings over my furniture to protect them from dust and completely cleaning up after themselves when the project was finished.
I would definitely use Cavalier Builders again.

I had previous project with Sharon and his team last year for one of my bathrooms renovation. Working with them was a great experience and I decided to go with them again for the rest of the bathrooms that needed some major updates.
Sharon, the contractor, has been very reliable from the beginning to the end of the entire project. He is beyond excellent at communicating with us, always responsive and helpful, answering all the questions I have. I had one last minute idea popped up, not sure if it was doable at the moment. But decided to ask his advice. Of course he came up with a brilliant solution that made my idea come true, and within reasonable budget range! He is definitely professional and responsible for all the work he takes in charge.
Also his team members, Felix and Marcelo, were wonderful guys to work with. They were very respective for our house, showed their work that had done by the time I stopped by to check in, and genuinely the kindest and the most hard-working people you'd ever meet for home renovation projects!
All of my family members are very happy with the final result :) There are a couple of spots that need retouch and it's not me waiting for Sharon and his team to come, it's them still waiting for me to reach out to them! For whatever projects that'll need to be done in the future, I will definitely call Sharon again and I know he'll get his job done beautifully. Thank you guys so much for everything!!

Could not have asked for a more professional contracting company! They came when they said they would and completed the project in an extremely timely manner. They do beautiful work!

David and his team are fantastic. Family owned and operated and you can tell! The attention to detail and level of quality are un-matched. I have used them on three projects and can't think of one complaint.
I see construction happening on my street in Burbank all the time, and my projects always finish faster than anyone else.
I highly recommend using David and Cavalier builders for any and ALL projects.
