Edwin was the best decision I made for our renovation/remodel.

Edwin remodel the kitchen / master bathroom and added an addition of 240 sq ft to our 102 yr old house. The remodel took 5 months and he saw every detail through to the end.

He took care of permitting, revising and adapting our original drawings, and advising us on improvements that were needed outside the original scope of work such as new insulation, new incoming water pipes, and modern techniques to improve upon architect's design.

I was constantly price checking him, and found his pricing very fair. He was timely on a day to day basis and kept us well informed on what work was happening and if work was not happening, why.


We would definitely recommend Brivenca Builders and would use them again.

Strongly recommended.

Edwin Brito is a fantastic contractor. Organized with great attention to detail, he is easy to work with and puts a lot of thoughtful effort into his work. We did a major renovation of a 102 year old house (complete gut and rebuild of the kitchen, half bath, and master bathroom, plus we knocked off a back wall of the house to expand our kitchen eating area and added on an office).

Edwin kept a close eye on the budget and worked hard to keep it on point - we ended up going over, but this was because of things we changed or he couldn't have predicted (e.g., when we pulled the drywall off we discovered major problems with the AC system).

Throughout, Edwin was easy to reach and we found him a creative partner in puzzling through how to make our house functional and beautiful to live in.


If we ever do any other work on our house, Edwin is who we will call.
