⭐ Real Reviews From Real Homeowners

Our project included the build out of an approximately 300 square foot crawl space under our townhome. The Truadditions team handled all aspects of the project, i.e., drafting of plans, permitting, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and a new concrete slab. We had a slight scope change shortly after the start of the project which necessitated plan revisions and a modification to the building permit. The Truadditions team ran interference with the city to make it happen. Rene and his crew did a fabulous job and were extremely pleasant to work with. We look forward to working with them in the future and would recommend them to anyone contemplating a remodeling project.

The buildout team headed by Rene are true craftsmen of their trade. The demolition and construction went extremely fast without sacrificing quality. Rene and the team treated the buildout as if it were their own home and ensured every detail was up to his high-quality standards. End result is a homeowner that could not find any flaws in the build quality. The new addition space blends right into the existing structure. No one would be able to tell an addition was constructed long after the original home was built.

We started our process with TruAdditions after seeing the amazing work they did on our neighbor's house. Our neighbor raved about their work and work ethic. When we decided to expand our balcony, we knew we wanted to use TruAdditions as well. The design process started with Chris and Jake as they helped us fine tune our design. They were VERY patient with us and all our questions and requests to modify the design. TruAdditions also took care of the whole process of getting city approval and also communicated with our HOA. TruAdditions kept us updated during the wait time with the city and kept us informed on the timeline for our project.

We recently completed a high ceiling conversion to loft. The process was smooth and the team was great to work with. Chris, Molly, Rene, and Jorge were all very responsive at any time. You can tell their crew specializes in high ceiling conversions with the quality and effficiency in the work.

The job was complete in less than 2 weeks from construction start and ahead of schedule. Would highly recommend.

As a designer who has had the opportunity to collaborate closely with this construction team, I can confidently say they are one of the most professional and reliable builders I’ve worked with.

From a design standpoint, what sets them apart is their attention to detail and respect for the design intent. They take the time to fully understand the drawings, ask thoughtful questions when clarification is needed, and execute the work with precision. Field conditions are handled proactively, and any challenges are communicated early with practical, solution-oriented feedback.

Their craftsmanship is consistent, clean, and well-coordinated with trades. Framing is accurate, finishes are carefully installed, and they maintain a well-organized job site — which makes coordination much smoother for everyone involved.

Equally important, they treat clients with transparency and professionalism. Timelines are realistic, budgets are discussed openly, and expectations are managed properly.

As a designer, I truly value working with a builder who sees the project as a collaborative effort rather than just a construction job. I would highly recommend them to homeowners, architects, and designers looking for a dependable and quality-driven construction partner.

As an architectural designer, I’ve really enjoyed working with TruAdditions. Rene, the CEO, is thoughtful and thorough, and you can tell he really cares about the quality of his work.

What I appreciate most is how involved he is throughout the entire process. Even during the design stage, he’s willing to visit the job site to review structural conditions and bring back valuable field information. That kind of input makes a big difference to the design. It helps the designer and the homeowner make informed decisions early on and minimizes surprises once construction begins.

During construction, Rene is very hands-on and proactive in addressing issues on site. If design adjustments are needed, he communicates clearly between the field and the design team, which keeps everything moving smoothly.

Overall, it’s a pleasure working with Rene and the TruAdditions team. They truly care about both the professionals they work with and the homeowners they serve.

We had an outstanding experience working with Truplans and Truaddition from start to finish. Building a home can be a stressful process, but their professionalism, organization, and attention to detail made everything smooth and enjoyable.

They really do a great job with the plans and Truaddition really delivered. Rene was exceptional throughout the entire project. He worked closely with us on the design, listened carefully to our ideas, and helped bring our vision to life in a way that truly exceeded our expectations. His craftsmanship, integrity, and commitment to quality are evident in every detail of our home.

Communication was always clear and timely, the team was respectful and reliable, and the level of care they put into their work really set them apart. The final result is a home we are incredibly proud of and excited to live in.

We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and dedicated construction team. You will be in excellent hands

Thank you True Additions for diligently working the 60 sf ft loft with railings, shelves, and support electrical, sprinkler, low voltage, and AC ducting so that the addition looks original, and not look like an addition. True Plans created the Permit drawings for True Additions to execute. True Additions mobilized quickly after City Plan Check, constructed the sturdy framing, coordinated City inspections, and completed the drywall and especially the stair railing with quality. They were respectful of the job site being lived in, protected existing finishes, and were flexible with some construction details.

We had a 21-foot ceiling in our living and dining room and wanted to add a second-floor loft. Since the project required structural changes, we researched extensively online for a contractor who specializes in lofts.

Fortunately, I found Trueplans and Truadditions. Both teams were reliable, provided good customer service, and were highly professional. Once construction began, they arrived on time every day, worked efficiently, and cleaned up before leaving, minimizing dust and keeping the area clear.

The project was divided into phases, and payments were made after the completion and satisfaction of each phase.

Every key decision was discussed to confirm they understood my request. Their attention to detail was excellent, and they were always willing to help, even when I arrived with the grocery bags!! The team was very committed to delivering the right solution. All of them arrived in the morning with good spirits.

Smooth project, well planned, high-quality materials, excellent communication.
I couldn't ask for a better contractor.

Jorge from TruAdditions helped design and remodel our kitchen, giving us a beautifully vaulted ceiling dining area. TruAdditions also redid our flooring across the home. Their quote was competitive and comprehensive, and the vendors they offered were truly top notch. Highly recommended!

Jorge and the Truadditions team went above and beyond for our family. Their work from beginning to end was professional, polished, and they completed it faster than we actually thought. I Won’t lie, I was assuming there would be bumps along the way and there was never an issue. They did everything for us and treated our home and family with care. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone go to Truadditions for a Loft edition like we did. It’s been three years since they completed the work and Everything is just spectacular!

We did a room addition and altered our floorplan with TruAdditions. We found them to be very timely, wonderful communicators, and great at their craft. We were impressed by how well they managed the permit process with our city, and continually followed up when the city lacked response - their experience was very evident and we know it’s a very crucial part of the timelines which we really appreciated. Renee is wonderful to work with and we loved how involved he was as the owner of the company. When we need a couple small items touched up a few months after our project they had someone come out the next day. Top tier customer service, we are very happy with the end result and would recommend them for your house project.

TruAdditions added a bedroom to our high-vaulted living room. Their project quote was competitive, and they were willing to travel to the Bay Area. Rene and the crew were professional from start to finish. They thoroughly prepared the house and kept the worksite clean at the end of each day. They had a sufficient number of workers and did not drag out the project. The job was completed in less than half of the originally estimated time. Everything was straightforward and matched the contract—no surprises. The city inspector was impressed and my family was happy. I would absolutely recommend them and would call them again for future projects. Kudos to the TruAdditions and TruPlans team.

I could not have hired a better firm to work on my loft addition. From start to finish, the entire team was a pleasure to work with. Chris came out to do my initial consultation to build out an estimate and provided valuable recommendations which I incorporated into the final plan.

The project was a bit complicated as I wanted to allocate a portion of the new space to include a new walk-in bathroom and connect it to an existing bedroom. This required additional design and planning to extend hot & cold water supply, HVAC and sewage extended out to the new bathroom. Chris and Rene came out multiple times to re-assess the design plan before giving me an extremely competitive quote.

Willis and Mary in the back office ensured I was constantly updated and made the HOA approvals/permitting and plan check process headache free.

The buildout team headed by Rene are true craftsmen of their trade. The demolition and construction went extremely fast without sacrificing quality. Rene and the team treated the buildout as if it were their own home and ensured every detail was up to his high-quality standards. End result is a homeowner that could not find any flaws in the build quality. The new addition space blends right into the existing structure. No one would be able to tell an addition was constructed long after the original home was built.

Thanks again, Truadditions! I now have an amazing office space, and my daughter has an impressive newly expanded bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom!

I had an interior remodel for my townhome that they happened to be experts at. Compared to people locally in my area (San Jose) they were almost half the costs. They also had all of the required insurance coverage needed to do what I needed, which most contractors locally didn’t cover. Work was done within the time frame I needed, and ultimately when I was dissatisfied with something, they gave me a refund on a portion of their work. I would recommend them again.

Truadditions was a great company to have built our additional room from what was a high ceiling area. The process from start to finish was professional. They took care to protect all areas that were not in their work zone. I highly recommend them to do your additional room. Jorge and his team are very helpful and professional they listen to what we wanted to build and made it come true.

The team at Tru Additions has completed two major projects on our home (both loft additions), and a major loft expansion for one of our neighbors. They offer excellent quality of work, brilliant engineering, desirable aesthetics, emphasis on creative functionality of spaces, strong attention to detail, good communication, and timely completion. The team minimizes ambiguity and maximizes client input, whilst not making the process overly burdensome for the homeowner. My wife and I are planning to have Tru Additions remodel our kitchen in the near future. We feel no need to "shop around," since Tru Additions have shown themselves to be a "no-brainer," and always welcome into our home.

Tru-Loft/Truadditions is the most professional, communicative and conscience contractor/construction companies we have ever dealt with across many projects that we have done at our home. The design team is outstanding as we worked through several iterations of our plans. Their design tools help you visualize the project completely. Once construction began the crew was courteous, fast, thorough and worked very clean. Clean up happened at the end of everyday. They brought a large team to get the entire job completed in a month and it would have been faster if we didn't have delays related to custom railing we had to order. Most importantly the change orders and add ons were well communicated and minimal. For this type of project, these guys are the experts and their pricing could not be beat here in Northern California. We have already recommended them to many in our neighborhood.

We highly recommend the TruPlans and TruAdditions team and are excited about our new beautifully designed remodel and additional space they created for us!
We are very happy with the professionalism of the staff, a dynamic synergistic team, that helped us each step of the way. They created new ideas and were enthusiastic from the design phase through construction completion. Their state-of-the-art technology software allows you to “walk through” the planned remodel, and changes are made instantaneously. We were able to choose materials and finishes to customize our preferences. We would use the team again without hesitation and are impressed with their hard-working commitment and personal attention with the smallest of details.

This company did a great job building our loft and home office. They were always attentive to their work, their crew was very profesional and friendly, and the project was completed within the agreed time frame. If we ever take on another home project, we’ll definitely call them again.

We recently had a loft addition done by TruAdditions at our home, and the experience completely exceeded our expectations. One thing that truly surprised (and impressed) us was that the CEO, Rene, wasn’t just managing the project — he was actually onsite doing the work alongside his team. That level of hands-on involvement is rare these days and showed us how much pride they take in their craft.

From the beginning, we felt like we were part of the process. They took the time to listen to our ideas, showed us 3D models we could adjust in real time, and kept us updated every step of the way. Communication was always clear, and any questions we had were answered without hesitation.

The quality of work is top-notch — our new loft looks like it was always part of the original home. Clean lines, solid finishes, and an overall smooth experience from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier.

If you're thinking about adding space to your home, TruAdditions is the team to trust. They're fast, reliable, and incredibly skilled. Huge thanks to Rene and the crew!

Completed a loft addition in August of 2024. We had several companies quote us and truadditions came in with the best price and a fraction of the time to complete it. They finished the project in exactly the amount of time they said and for the exact price they quoted. The work they did was amazing and it looks like it is part of the house and not an addition. Highly recommend trusting them with your project. Could not be happier.
