Contractors in Davis

“Marty Morse and his colleagues at Morse Remodeling did a fantastic job for us when we remodeled of our house. We wanted to both redo our kitchen and to remodel the house to create spaces for the dining room table and grand piano. Even though there had been enough overall area in our house for this furniture, the space was chopped up in ways that prevented easy placement solutions. Meghan was incredibly helpful and creative in designing the space to accommodate what we wanted, especially given the constraints. She listened to our concerns and wants and came up with solutions to the problems, while also making suggestions which enhanced the space in other ways. We were on sabbatical leave while the physical work of the remodel happened, and Meghan, Kevin, and Matt all kept us up to date on changes and decisions that needed to be made. Matt was the onsite guy, overseeing the overall job and doing the carpentry. He not only created a beautiful and useful finished space but listened to any concerns we had. We couldn’t be happier that we hired this group of people for our job. One more, not unimportant, comment, they finished the job on time!“

“Painted my parents house very well. Hired Reynolds Painting to refinish a 5,500 square foot house. Did the interior and exterior. Excellent attention to detail, and preparing home for sale. The house fetched top dollar in the marketplace. I recommend this business. House sold for 1.3mil. Amazing work guys and gals!“

“We needed some major renovation work involving the conversion of a outdoor sun room into enclosed living space, and we knew it would be a complicated project so we hired a local building designer well-versed in Davis codes. With the plans and city approval in hand we started approaching the big-name local construction firms and were immediately met with resistance, as all insisted we shelve our design plans ($$!!!!) and use their own designers. They wanted to control all aspects of the construction, including the design, and although I respect that, I was not about to throw away $6,000 and an approved city permit. I contacted Mike Pesola, the owner of Bedrock Construction after doing some background checks, and he called back within a day. All I can say is I found Mike Pesola a true professional who was interested in how we wanted the project done, and was a project leader who made it happen. He took the plans and studied them and came to me within a week with an estimate that was within $5,000 of my own estimate of what the job should cost. We did it in two phases, starting in the fall, and then restarted again in April. Any costs outside of the contractual plan was clearly allocated, usually because we as owners decided to upgrade certain fixtures, but in all cases there were no surprises and the project moved forward on schedule and on budget. As a former contract administrator, I can tell you this requires both parties to pay attention to the details and keep both sides informed, which is exactly what happened. His crews were polite, cleaned up after the days work, and arrived when they said they were coming. When there were issues, and in construction projects there always are, Mike was there and things were ironed out seamlessly. Because of Covid 19 concerns, we delayed the planned 2nd phase by almost a month, and Mike worked with us in rescheduling his crews. Mike's father was a building contractor in NYC, and it was obvious Mike learned the business the right way. We are extremely pleased with the results and recommend Bedrock without any hesitation. It is a family business and run the way I would run my own business. Bottom line, project was delivered on time, on budget, with excellent results with no issues with the city or our neighbors! Thumbs up, Mike! Fine work!“

“MAK recently completed a second remodel on our home. The first, 15 years ago, has aged well, and their work made our home a much pleasanter place for our young family. Their work on the first go-around was so excellent, that when we started thinking about aging-in-place home modifications, we returned to MAK.

The recently finished remodel was extensive, and touched nearly every part of the house that was not modified in the previous remodel.

The design team helped us focus our planning and make specific choices. They did a wonderful job of asking us about our preferences, offering us a manageable range of design suggestions and helping us talk through our decisions, to make sure we ended up with a final product we liked. Thanks Ilse and Madelyn!

Our construction project manager, Carlos, was always available to us. We met once a week about project updates, questions and concerns. Carlos took care of interfacing with the sub-contractors. We always knew who would be in our house and when to expect them. He did a great job coordinating tasks around our life and schedule when he could, mitigating the disturbance the rest of the time, and making sure everything was cleaned up at the end of each day.

The sub-contractors were all craftspeople who worked to produce an excellent product. Steven, from JRB Drywall, filled a long crack in our dining room ceiling and took extra pains to be sure everything blended perfectly. Francisco, from Genoa Soapstone, came in late Friday afternoon to make a last minute cut the kitchen counter so our new cooktop would fit the space and was successfully installed before the weekend.

The tile installers were meticulous - thank you to Ulices at Top Notch Tile. Todd, from Country Bear Electric, saved us time and money when he found a way to run wires that reduced the amount of walls that needed to be opened. Arden Cabinets built and installed the wonderful bathroom vanity with rollout drawers so we can make use of the whole depth of the cabinet space.

I could go on. MAK did a wonderful job. We will use them again if we find we want additional work in the future. If you are considering a major remodel, do yourself and favor and meet with them.“

“I have used Pacific Craft Builders on several remodeling projects in Davis. Due to their workmanship, communication, and competitive estimates, I went from using them on rental properties to having them remodel my own kitchen and bathroom. No job is too small or big for Pacific Craft Builders. They are willing to share ideas and make recommendations, but also listens to their client's wishes. They provide great value in many different areas of the building process. In the past I have used 4 other local contractors on prior projects but from this point on I will only use Pacific Craft Builders. I highly recommend Pacific Craft Builders for any building project or repair.“
