I've used Preferred Home Builders for two major projects on my home in the last decade. They are my go-to construction people, and I keep owner Tamir's cell number saved in my phone. Their work has helped my little house grow with our family. My first project was a partial second-story master suite addition nine years ago. We came back to Preferred about three years ago when we decided to do a garage conversion. They…
