Had a truly great experience with Alex. Cornejos builders just completed converting my crawlspace/basement into an ADU (studio with new bathroom and kitchen).
What made the experience even more valuable was that the owner himself (Alex) came over for a consultation. Other companies just send their sales reps and most of the time they don’t even know anything.
Feeling important is always a positive I can’t wait to work with them again. I highly recommend them. You can tell Alex is passionate about what he does, his clients, and his company.
