Juan has done work on four of my rental properties recently. He is very good at keeping his guys working efficiently while picking up supplies needed. He made great choices of all of the fixture replacements and was good at deciding exactly what to update to encourage quick tenant replacements. He emails pictures of his choices on the spot for my approval when needed. He emails any record keeping and job updates regularly. He calls when he and his crew arrives and leaves the jobsite. My rentals are in Dublin and Pleasanton but I live north of Sacramento so I appreciate that he is fantastic at keeping me in the loop all the way. Juan has lots of experience doing tenant turnovers and made many choices better than I could make even though I've had rentals for 20+ years.

Jim was a very easy and pleasant contractor to work with. His crew was on time and professional. Since he is a veteran, it helps that he can get 10% off at Home Depot (hey, every little bit helps!). I would highly recommend Jim and his crew for any home improvement project.

sergimaxuelas@gmail.comEverLast Construction, as soon as they looked at our kitchen, pictured it as an empty space. The design that followed from this strategy gave us a VERY efficient kitchen. Even though it is small kitchen, it was laid out so that we have the best utilization of space. All the work was done while we were out of town. When we returned, we were pleasantly surprised by the excellent workmanship. And even found that some things were done that were not in the contract, but added to the beauty of the kitchen. There was a small punch list that was taken care of without any hesitation or problems. All in all it was a GREAT experience using EverLast Construction!!

AD: I have had the pleasure of working with David at my mixed use 6 unit building in SF for at least 15 years. He is completely trustworthy and very good at interacting with the tenants. David is a problem solver, he not only fixes the immediate problem but will figure out what is causing the problem and work on implementing preventative strategies. He takes allot of pride in noticing how things can work in a more efficient way and will make suggestions when he notices something that needs attention. I have also used David as a General Contractor supervising various subcontractors when there is a big remodel going on. Please contact me if you have any questions as I highly recommend David Tejeda.

I hired Marcos through Thumbtack to give me an estimate on what it what cost to repair a rental property garage I own. INITIAL MEETING Marcos was not just on time; he was early. He brought tools to measure and estimate. He asked questions and offered solutions. He did not try to upsell me. Furthermore, he did not treat my partner who is a woman, like she didn't know anything because of her gender. I was impressed. ESTIMATE Marcos was comprehensive in his estimate. There were no hidden costs. He was clear in listing the labor and materials as line items. He did the same for subcontractors. He was explicit about timelines. His contract made payment easy. PERFORMANCE Through out the project, Marcos checked in via text message. He sent photos of the progress via email and text. There were some surprises with the work once he removed the wall but Marcos made sure he contacted us before he moved forward. His solution was thoughtful in terms of our budget and long term use.

Raul is responsive, professional, and personable. And most importantly, he does beautiful tile work. As a general contractor, he has become one of my solid go to" subcontractors.

As a general contractor I know the challenges of finding quality and competent help, as well as the many problems that can arise with contractors/ subcontractors, and because of this, I am very glad to have been able to work with Edgar. I highly recommend hiring Edgar if you want things done right the first time and by someone who is very experienced, professional, punctual and also a pleasure to work with. I have hired Edgar for several projects and look forward to several more!

We had Outstanding construction do a full interior remodel (Kitchens/Bathrooms) including landscaping front/rear. Concrete patio and side walkway of my Moms home in Belmont. House was in need of major upgrades throughout. Entire interior was re-textured / crown moulding / kitchen demo/replace including appliances. Because KC has his own dump truck is very convenient for haul out of debris as well as pickup of landscape and other materials for the job as the job progresses. KC did have good suggestions and has the contacts to get good pricing on quality products such as Brick/cabinetry/foam accents/windows etc. Kirk and his team work very hard are conscientious and keep a tidy jobsite. He will work with any of your own subcontractors but will also provide contact details for folks he has worked with in the past. Pricing was fair after the whole job was done although it did take longer and cost more than originally estimated but from what I hear this is normal for larger re-model projects because there are so many moving parts. He had the plans drawn up and went to the city to obtain the permits...so no problems with any of the intermediate city inspections and achieved permit sign off . Our realtor who was checking in periodically on the projects progress was very impressed with the end result as was his colleagues who came to see the finished product. As testament to how well the finished product was received, when we put it on the market it sold in 7 days with multiple offers over asking. Granted alot of that had to do with the location but it also had a lot to do with the "Pop" the house had after the remodel was completed... people that looked at it were very impressed with the finished product.

Bella Home Builders created an awesome kitchen / family room. Excellent subcontractors & quality. The project has been admired by all of our friends & relatives. This also created a great setting for a small wedding at home.

At the referral of a friend, we contacted Evolve Construction to discuss a complete kitchen upgrade in our home. From the start, we found the project manager to be friendly, professional, and extremely helpful. He was always very patient in working with us and helpful in his advice on design ideas. Never once did we feel rushed or that he was pushing for our business. Evolve's crew (they don't use subcontractors, a major plus) is also fantastic, friendly, hardworking, and professional. We found the cost and time frame of the project both to be very reasonable. We are thrilled with our beautiful new kitchen! Thank you Evolve!

Chris McDermott did a major remodel of my house in Berkeley (including kitchen and bathroom), increasing the value of my home significantly. Chris can do nearly every aspect of construction, from framing to finish, and knows when to turn it over to subcontractors. Chris is accommodating, hard working, honest, and professional. He's also easy to talk to and fun to be around, and is able to help translate ideas and preferences into an awesome finished product while staying within budget. ~Erin

General contractor for residential remodel for which I prepared documents. Contractor was thorough and suggested some useful changes, had access to multiple subcontractors and crews, and was flexible in response to owner changes.
