The project: a room and bath addition

To start, I'll highlight what they aim to provide (taken directly from their website), and the grade we gave them. The reasons are explained in more detail further on

"We at Addition-Specialist understand that communication and accessibility are key to making this a truly Stress-Free Process for you. Encounter the highest level of integrity and quality of product available. 
Simple and direct communication channel - Grade: D
Minimal scheduling and cost over-runs - Cost Grade: A, Schedule Grade: F 
Projects are complete on time - Grade: F
Stress-free commitment - Grade F-
Highest level of integrity and quality of product - Grade B

Communication: Our key contact was the project manager Zion, who was in charge of multiple projects and was back and forth to Israel etc. leaving large chunks of time without a clear line of communication. When he was gone, not much happened. At the beginning of the project, he was more available for discussion. Later, when the project was about 70% complete, he became really difficult to work with and a major struggle to get consistent work committed to the project. We ultimately had to work directly with the owner, Nir. At that point things improved considerably, but we still had kind of confusing three way conversations between the project management and the crews. Details would fall through the cracks, and it wasn't until we had a dedicated crew on site that we were able to consistently see the results that we had been promised.
Communication Grade: D

Cost Over-runs and Scheduling: 
Cost was one area that we were happy with. Early on in the project there were corrections that they had to make with the plans that were under their responsibility to correct. They did so in a way that left us with a higher quality result, even when it clearly cost them more to do so. There was some work that they had to do that the city engineers requested, they took care of it without requiring anything additional from us. We stuck very closely to our original plans. When we did get an estimate for work that wasn't in the contract, it was always about 3x more than we were quoted by other reliable companies. Overall the work was of good workmanship.
Cost Grade: A

Scheduling was a struggle. They clearly had multiple projects and their main crew was pulled in multiple directions.1 or 2 days of work would get done, and then nothing for the rest of the week. They consistently passed inspections, which was great, but at the same time the minute we had a successful inspection, the team would vanish for a couple days. To the middle and end of the project, Zion and Roy were hardly in the picture - my wife and I felt like we had to take on the project management and scheduling to make sure that the work progressed smoothly. This was exhausting. The problems with scheduling caused the project to go a full FIVE MONTHS past the initial due date
Scheduling: F

Project complete on time: Due to the communication, management and scheduling issues - the project was five months late. Schedule was one of the highest priorities for us, we clearly communicated this to them repeatedly.
On time Completion Grade: F

Stress free: Absolutely not, early on they were engaged. As the project progressed, the stress increased as they lagged and we began taking on more and more of the work of the project. There was a lot of conflict over the payment schedule. By the end of the project, we were completely exhausted, and we had no life except for work and the house. 
Stress-free: F-

Quality product: The crews actually doing the work did a high-quality job. What I'm also including in the "quality" category is the overall scope of the project. There were two significant items that the contractor had to cancel because they could not complete as we originally agreed. The credit that they gave back to us for the cancelled work was 1/5th of the value. So for that reason, I have to dock it down to a B. Integrity would mean a refund of a fair value for work that was not completed. 
Quality Product: B

Well it appears they have expanded to the San Jose area and they are still bad.  Their representative, Zion makes promises and then doesn't keep them.  They sub-contract work to unreliable parties.  They are not responsive, expensive, and do mediocre to shoddy work.  In the San Jose area they DBA Addition Specialist.  Do NOT hire this contractor.  I regret having anything to do with them.  The job of replacing cracked concrete driveway and sidewalk with pavers was supposed to take 1 week.  Eleven weeks later and the job is still not completed.

Never work with this company.  They are all liars, false advertisers, and breech of contracts, is their specialty.  They will low ball all other bids you have, make you sign contract, then call you back and say we cannot do it at that price.  Waste your time.  Trust me, just pick someone else, there are many nice ppl to work with.  Stay away from this one, and its DBAs such as Equisolar, and Addition specialists.
Their Sales man, Eric, big liar, manager Sarah, the same, and the owner, Nil, just as bad.
