Contractors near Moraga

“Our retaining wall project was pretty straightforward, but the town made getting permits quite difficult. Dave was persistent and persuasive in getting the necessary supporting documents and, ultimately, the permit. He and his guys did a fantastic job on the project and the communication was excellent. We are super happy with our new wall and Dave was very enjoyable to work with.“

“So, these guys built a house for me. It is approximately 3300 sq ft, with 5 bedrooms and 3++ bathrooms. In any construction project of this size, there are bound to be some "bumps in the road." That is when you get to see what kind of contractor you really have. Bob McLaughlin is an excellent contractor. He is fast, fair, and smart. He did a great job, and he did it quickly. I have other construction experiences, but none as good as with Bob. I give him the highest recommendation.“

“We wanted to remodel our guest bathroom. After seeking 5 bids, we chose Itay and Top Remodel & Design. From the first moment we reached out to Itay he was super responsive throughout the process. We had the same crew (Luis and Jaime) every day from start to finish. They were diligent, hard-working, communicative, and finished ahead of schedule. Both Itay and Luis offered ideas that contributed to a beautiful finished product. We love our new bathroom and we highly recommend TR&D.“

“Lisa and her team were simply fantastic from the beginning to the completion of our project. Lisa posses keen insights into kitchen layout as well as taking into account the style of the house and the style and preferences of her clients. Our house is a 1920s house in Alameda with many quirks. Lisa came up with a curved countertop to address the funky architecture and it is one of the best features of the kitchen. We've never had someone so involved in managing a project, choosing materials, colours, and touches. Lisa brought in excellent contractors who were respectful, professional, and timely. The project also came in right on budget, which we've never experienced before. Lisa is an excellent guide and sounding board through the whole process. Our experience was excellent and we would do another project with her in a heartbeat!“

“I’m so thankful Nick and Jake had same day availability for a job that had been on the to do list for way too long! So happy with the outcome and their ability to overcome a wonky electrical issue we were having in order to get this light in!“

“Very pleased with the landscaping job performed by Atlas Pavers. We had pavers and turf installed in our backyard. Junior was great with communication and the crew was professional and efficient. Quality work from Atlas!“

“They took great care in preparing the surfaces to be painted and paid close attention to detail throughout the entire painting process. The end result was a beautifully painted interior that exceeded my expectations.“

“Half of my dad's home was filthy with mold. Robert came out and made a quick assessment, offered a good price. It was not the cheapest but there was something about his demeanor and professionalism that led to believe, saving a few bucks wasnt worth going with someone I wasn't as confident in doing the job right. My dad, who is a crusty old Army Corp. Engineer was pleasantly surprised. "They sure do have all the tools to get the job done right." Hire with confidence. My dad's private, sorry, no photos.“

“We requested quotes from several contractors for our attic conversion project and decided on LRL. Raz came to the house to discuss our plan and let us know we would need an engineer to look things over before he could bid (this was the common thread of all of the companies we considered). We had an engineer draw up plans to shore up the house so it could hold the added weight of a new room and then got quotes. After meeting with Raz, we were pretty sure we would go with LRL. He told us he wouldn't be the least expensive quote, but might come in a little higher because he treats his employees well, and pays them a living wage. That is a win-win. He has a loyal team of skilled individuals who all work well together and he doesn't have to keep training new people to provide the level of service and expertise required to make customers happy.

Everyone has heard the nightmare stories about contractors who start a job and then disappear, or drag things out, or are just generally difficult to work with. LRL is the exact opposite of those horror stories. Our project was completed on time and at the agreed upon price. It seems like that would be the standard, but I don't think it is with other contractors.

The whole team was great. Everyone was very respectful of our home and they seemed to work efficiently together. While they were doing the main attic conversion project, we asked if they could put up a new chandelier for us, which they happily did. They also repositioned an kitchen island pendant for us. When we had ideas mid-project, Raz and the guys were happy to work with us, consider our design thoughts, and either make them a reality, or help us find a great alternative.

They connected us with an AC expert who sold us a mini-split unit, and his crew worked with the LRL team to reposition our heating return. Raz also has an electrical expert who got everything wired up to take the additional load that a whole new room adds.

The finished product is what really matters though, and LRL delivered! We couldn't be happier with our new bonus room. The added storage capacity has made other areas of our home more comfortable as well. The quality of the work is outstanding. LRL stand behind their work and makes sure that the job is done right. We noticed our front porch wood had been slightly damaged while they were bringing wood into the house, so when everything was done, they sanded and painted it back to its original condition. Once the dust settled and we were able to be in our space again, we noticed something that wasn't quite right. Raz sent the team over a few days later, and they made it right. I have never heard of another contractor being so willing to make everything perfect. I can't recommend LRL Builder highly enough. You can stop looking, you've found the best contractor in the Bay.“

“Yay! We have a new roof!After Terrence finished patching the part of our roof that we were both concerned about back in May, we did not communicate again until he emailed me on July 29th to ask if it was okay for the work to begin the following Tuesday, August 2nd. Going back to April, when we first spoke, Terrence was upfront that he did not know when the work would begin simply because weather cannot be accurately predicted. We had no issue with that and had the utmost confidence that he would take care of business. Fast forward to the 30th and we chatted over the phone about what color roof we wanted. Our house has been painted gray the last two times so we asked for something that would go well with gray and also keep out as much heat as possible. At 9:30am, the tear-down crew arrived. We had moved our vehicles out of the driveway to make room for their truck. By 12:30, our old roof was gone. At around 2:30, most of the supplies for the new roof including our gutter guards (additional cost), roof vents, lumber, and shingles. Most items were staged on the roof while some was staged in our driveway. Then the work began. They worked late in the afternoon before leaving for the day. They returned the next morning and went straight to work. Because our roof was half-naked and there was a slim chance of precipitation, Terrence worked late into the evening by himself by headlamp to make sure that all exposed areas were covered with Visqueen to prevent any chance of water damage. By the end of the day on Thursday, the work was done and all that was left to do was the final inspection by the City. I received an email from Terrence that a member of his team would be putting up a ladder so the Inspector could climb onto the roof. We didn't need to be home. As luck would have it, the Inspector arrived just as we were leaving for lunch. He wanted to first inspect our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. This was in spite of the fact that we had already filled out an affidavit stating how many of each we already had installed plus how many, if any, we needed to install to be in full compliance. Our house is small with two bedrooms, one of which does not have a bed in is but is being used for a home office. The Inspector still required a detector in each bedroom. Not a big deal, but we already had two smoke detectors in the hallway, one connected to our alarm system and one free standing that is a combination unit. We also have a combination unit in the garage (think water heater and gas dryer) but he didn't care about that. A quick trip to Costco and 10 minutes of installation time took care of that. So we now have four combination units and one smoke detector in a 1000 square foot house. Anyway, Terrence did not even ask me for payment until after the permit was signed off. He offers a 2% discount which I forgot to subtract from his invoice when i used his Intuit payment method to transfer funds from our credit union to him. I sent him an email informing him of that and he returned the 2% to me via check. The invoiced price was to the penny on his estimate at the beginning of the project. There was a minor amount of dry rot (a couple of boards), which he took care of at no additional cost. He also removed our old aerial antennae and our DirecTV dish (DirecTV didn't want it back; I checked first) and disposed of them for us. The crew worked quickly and efficiently. Everyone was polite and greeted us whenever they saw us. In turn, we put out an ice chest of sparkling water, Gatorade and soda so the crew could stay hydrated. Questions were answered without hesitation. If they didn't know the answer, they referred us to Terrence. We've already had a couple of neighbors come by and ask how we liked their service. I highly encourage everyone who needs a roof to call Terrence and ask for an estimate. He's down to earth and obviously cares about his customers, crew and work.“

“Avant Garde helped us complete an earthquake retrofit for our early 1970s house under the EBB program. Matthew and team were great partners and are very familiar with the rebate program.

The process started with a paid inspection and we were glad we did this. Their tradesperson will go inside the crawlspace and perform a detailed inspection for the scope of work that needs to be done. In our case they even reported a plumbing leak that we were not aware about. They also identified additional work needed related to our pier and beam foundation. At the end of the process the inspection fee will be credited back.

Once inspection is completed, they submitted a proposal which in our case was very competitive. It was also accurate because of the inspection, rather than ballpark estimate by others. Last but not least, Matthew is very familiar with the process and requirements of foundational work.

Once the project started, the crew were very professional and tried their best to keep the work area clean. Concrete damage (common for retrofit) were patched and painted like new. They also cleaned up after themselves and took care to remove materials from the crawl space.

At the end of the process, they also timed the city inspection perfectly and we passed with no issue. Matthew then provided exact instructions on claiming the EBB rebate check, which came promptly.

With the EBB part complete, we were also able to get a discount for our earthquake insurance.

Finally, they also sent lots of pictures of their work.

In summary we are very happy to have worked with Matthew and Avant Garde for our EBB earthquake retrofit and foundation work.“

“I’ve been through 3 different handyman services in the past year; Best Value is the only one of those three services I will be calling back for future work. Manny and Frank were both prompt, professional and honest. Their foreman Edgar and his crew work fast and diligently, leaving me with a new garage wall that will last 100 years. They did all of this without leaving a speck of dust behind, and even touched up the exterior paint of the garage.“

“I had some drywall on the ceiling that needed repair. They did a good job, very reasonable prices. Very clean. They were also responsive over text message. I would hire them again.“

“I had such a a great experience with Altamira doing my earthquake retrofit. They responded quickly, came out to review the house shortly after, and handled everything just as efficiently. They are so professional and friendly. If you need anything repaired and it's a service that they provide, I'm telling you, it's a no brainer. Hire them for the most stress-free process. Thank you, Altamira!“

“Cerletti and Kennedy did a great earthquake retrofit job for us. One thing that made them stand out is how great they followed up on fixing a problem. While working under our house, a phone line was accidentally broken. ****, one of the owners, went to great lengths including paying a company to come out and replace the broken line. They are to be commended for standing up to the problem and fixing it without question.“

“Travis and his team did an outstanding job on my kitchen remodel. The process was seamless, minor hick ups were addressed immediately, everything was finished within the time promised. My kitchen is beautiful and I have no painful memories of the process. I did several house remodels in a past with other contractors and never wanted to use their services again. Travis and his team left completely different impression, I would hire them again and again. Highly recommend for any job in your house“

“XOtek is an excellent company in terms of service, communication, prices, installation and quality of product. What a lucky fine for my wife and I who needed a new outside sliding glass door and replacement window. We really like the end result.Maggie, Tony and Ghanna are the best in addressing our needs within our budgeti and guiding us thru the whole process.Simply, one of the best businesses around who handle door & window products.“

“First of all I want to express how satisfied with the work the work Anis Construction did with our project. We had a drywall project for our Family room Dmitry gave us a quote that was more than competitive . The project was finished in the time frame he promised ,they arrived each day on time and cleaned up each day. Was very professional. And in the end the final cost came in under the original quote ( Who does that) Whenever other remodeling projects come up , we will certainly call Dimitri and Anis Construction again.“

“Beyond expectations! My third project with Challenge Rooter was the biggest yet: to replace and upgrade the drainage system from the back patio, through the yard, to the street. PLUS during the same 3 days replace approx. 115 ft. of old clay pipe sewer lateral, including permit and inspection fees, excavation, proper traffic control, necessary concrete removal and replacement, replacing city WYE connection, obtaining the sewer lateral compliance test, off-hauling debris, cleaning work area, and more than can describe here. Basically, everything that needed to be done was done well! This was a relief, as my abundant past experiences with contractors, plumbers and other professional services often required me to keep a close eye to avoid pitfalls. With Challenge Rooter, Chebo the owner, Rosa and staff in the office, and the highly-experienced teams of workers maintained clear communication throughout the process, were responsive to any questions I might have, and the scheduling was precise. The big equipment came and went on time exactly as needed. The scope of project was clarified at the beginning, and the price and timing was completed as agreed. I could not be happier.“

“For cleaning our dryer vent, James was able to come the very next day of me calling. He was very professional, answered all my questions, and offered very good pricing.“

“Brian was very helpful and honor his price as he quoted. Even though we delay the project for a few months. We needed two patio door replace as it was molding. They were very responsible. They showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the projects quickly and as scheduled“

“We have had the best of experience in working with our property soil management and repair! Additional feedback is found on yelp“

“I have been using Best Roof for at least 10 years and am always satisfied with their work, responsiveness, solutions and professionalism. As a real estate agent, I always want to refer vendors that are reliable and reflect my commitment to customer service. Suzy, Ella and the crew really are the "Best"!“

“Based on the excellent reviews here and elsewhere on the web, I contacted S&B Electric today for help with a garbage disposal outlet not working.

Stewart was awesome... he asked me to send him some pictures and then after that, he called back to walk me through fixing the problem myself in just a few minutes.

I am definitely saving this company for future needs and for referrals.

Stewart went above and beyond, and that goodwill has definitely been noted and that's why I also wanted to share here.

Goodwill engenders return goodwill and the desire to highlight to others companies such as S&B that provide such great service & that have such a great attitude.

Thank you S&B/Stewart!“

“So happy with Paul, Steve, Felipe and crew. They repaired two of our decks and waterproofed them beautifully. They didn't cut corners and the quality of the workmanship was fantastic. We will definitely be using them for future projects!“

“We hired Villatoro & M Construction (VC) for a whole house remodel. Our project included everything from seismic and electrical upgrades to a full kitchen and bath remodeling. They literally took almost every wall down to the studs then rebuilt them with new windows, doors, wiring, insulation and wall board. The final result looks amazing. During the process, VC worked diligently to get the job done in less than six months. They have a large crew and were able to schedule whatever resource was needed in a timely manner- sometimes having 8 to 10 workers on site at a time. Several key staff were onsite regularly and seemed to take personal interest in the project outcome. But one of the key qualities that we appreciated most about VC is the integrity of Victor, Victor Jr and Milton. They provided a transparent proposal and fulfilled each requirement with professionalism and craftsmanship. They started the project strong and finished it just as strong!“
