Kind Words from Clients…
“C&T was chosen to be the general contractor for the commercial tenant improvement of our smoothie stores in Pasadena & Bellflower, CA. They did a great job staying under budget and finished in a timely manner with approved permits. They were selected to be one of the preferred contractors from the regional franchise. C&T is very knowledgeable and has extensive experience in residential build-outs and commercial renovations. Would highly recommend C&T for an estimate of your projects.” -Robeks Juice
“Not only was this my first gut renovation on a condo but this was done entirely remote!!! Living in San Francisco, they put my mind at ease and had complete trust in Isaac and his team. Isaac was beyond organized (don’t know how he does it), responsive and generally a good counselor for my indecisive moments. Chisel & Tool is was full-service experience from start to finish with William corralling approvals from the HOA minutiae (again, I’m in San Francisco!) through finishing touches daaaays after completion. ** HIGHLY RECOMMEND **” -S.Y.
