Contractors in Oakland

“Prompt response to our request for a bid. We are moving into drawings and preparing to pull permits.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“Francisco and his team are amazing tree removal experts. They are hard working, professional, punctual and efficient. Their pricing is also probably the best quote you'll get although they don't do stump removal. To have insurance over your project you'll contract with Encinal Tree Service but Francisco will.run the project. If you go without insurance you may be able to sub contract him directly for a discount. He came almost immediately upon calling for an estimate, with his daughter, he is a hard working family man. They did a massive pruning of a 80-100ft eucalyptus as well as removal of 2 acacias and crown pruning of a loquat. I'd hire him again for sure.“

“Job Juarez and his team has helped us with a couple of remodel projects - 1) adding a deck and double doors to walkout to the back deck/patio and 2) renovating our kitchen which included taking down walls and adding beams.JJ has been great to work with - worked with us through surprises that come along with renovations, is patient and conscientious and doesn't cut corners, and is thoughtful in the recommendations/ideas that he proposes. His crew is polite and easy to work with as well.“

“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"!“

“Miles Walker of Berkeley Roof Services is someone we've leaned on for years -- and his company's workers have repeatedly done excellent work for us. Miles himself has been personable, professional and patient, not to mention honest, and has never put pressure on us to do anything. His company has successfully replaced our roofs and gutter screening and we've had no complaints whatsoever on either of our properties. We can recommend the company for almost any relevant job.“

“Vinconstruction is the company I can highly recommend to anyone. Their proffesionalism, and communication to details are awesome. This company is still on my top list for any work at our church facility located in downtown Oakland. They have done so much including remodeling out church kitchen which looks amazing. I have hired this company to do a lot of work at my property just after seeing what they did at the church. They work 7 days with no day off just to make sure to meet the completion time. They work good with customer for approaching the better deal of their dream projects.“

“Super fast, efficient, and friendly team. Best on price, too. Thanks for the awesome event, BASS!“

“DIG installed our graywater system and rainwater tanks. Throughout, Mano, Niko, and others have been fantastically patient, calm and competent. They've also gone over and beyond with followup help when we've needed it. We couldn't recommend them more highly.“

“Jesse and ethos built did an awesome job with our custom built in banquette seating. The workmanship is high and they did the job at a very reasonable rate. We had some challenges around schedules and timing but all in all I would definitely recommend ethos built if you're looking for any sort of carpentry / cabinet work.“

“Matias crew did a great job on my yard! Agustin is great at attention to details and easy to communicate with. They are truly crafted at their work and made sure the end results are to my liking.Services: Concrete footings“

“Working with Chuck was a great experience. As an owner of a historic Victorian, any repair work is always an adventure. Chuck ensured we understood each step as we addressed structural rot and replaced exterior siding that had to be matched because our home is on the city's historic registry. Chuck kept the job on track and exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely work with Chuck again.“

“A2Z just completed our kitchen remodel, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Communication with our team, led by Dror, was excellent throughout the project. They were super-responsive, often answering our texts or emails within minutes, and were completely transparent about plans and schedules. It was clearly important to them to earn our trust and confidence, which they did from day 1. Eduardo, who was working at our house nearly every day, was excellent from both a technical and artistic perspective, worked extremely hard, and was always friendly and accommodating. He offered a number of design and construction suggestions that invariably improved on our design concepts. The tile backsplash was our design and fairly complex to install; Eduardo did a beautiful job (see photo). When our butcherblock countertop fabricator/installer, a contractor not associated with A2Z, made errors that delayed the project by nearly 2 weeks, our A2Z team did everything possible to make up the lost time and finish our kitchen by the end date they had promised. There were never any surprises or hidden costs; in fact, when challenges popped up, they came up with and carried out elegant solutions, at no extra cost to us. Our kitchen is gorgeous, and we will happily hire A2Z again for any future remodeling in our home.“

“Great service for a great value. I coordinated for my aunt who lives in San Francisco and needed new insulation and air ducts in her old Victorian home. Rami and his office communicated with me the entire way through. They were very patient with my aunt and careful to clean up after themselves. The attic looks great (from the pictures they sent). We are very pleased and would recommend to anyone looking for work in their attic.“

“Absolutely top notch. The Bay Area is filled with shoddy contractors who take ages to do mediocre or poor work. All Seasons is a bit pricier but is absolutely worth ever penny. They are professional, fast, efficient and do top quality work. My driveway looks incredible and the process (though a bit delayed due to the weather) was seamless and easy. They also did my foundation retaining wall several years back and also did outstanding work. If you want it done right, All seasons is the contractor to go with.“

“We reached out to Eric for a quote and he was quick to respond and gave answers to all of my questions. In the end we choose to not use concrete for our driveway project, so we did not hire him and his team. I think they would have done a great job, we just went in a different direction.“

“I had bought a new prehung front door and had M 7.24 Builders installed and painted it for me. They did a great job. I also had a leak issue with my bathroom air vent. M 7.24 was able to diagnose the issue after cutting up section of my ceiling in the bathroom. Turns out to be a corroding vent duct. They were able to replace it and patch up the ceiling with the same texture and paint it. I would recommend this company for any repair and remodeling around the house. Henry and his team were great“

“Call Carl for all your Insulation needs, floors, walls, ceilings , They can supply and install it cheaper than you can buy it! Good crew, easy to work with, been in business along time with a Great reputation!“

“Anderson and his crew were a delight to work with. We wanted a complete remodel of our old kitchen. Anderson helped us develop our design ideas. He is an excellent communicator and the design that we ended up with was exactly what we wanted. They got to work on schedule and were professional and thoughtful of us as we remained here in the house during the remodel (and I had a total knee replacement right as the project began)! All the workers took great care to keep their materials organized and mitigate noise and dust. They were all hard-working and skilled. The end result is a beautiful, functional kitchen.“

“We hired Build Group to take our dirt yard and build corten metal pathways and to build a concrete slab. Fidel walked through with me and gave me a bid after crunching the numbers. I got two other bids from existing crews I have used and hired Build the next day. They got to work immediately, and they were the most professional team we have had working here. We were so impressed with their attention to detail and smart solutions and diligent labor every single day they were here. So happy so far with their work. I will update with photo of the final, compacted DG. Thank you so much Fidel and team!“

“I received a grant through Earthquake Brace and Bolt for a seismic retrofit. When I contacted E&F Construction, Tony got back to me almost immediately, walked me through the process, answered all my questions, and recommended an engineer to draw up the plans.
Then, when I messed up my deadline and needed to get an estimate on short notice, Tony was there for me again. He took time out of his busy schedule to get me what I needed before my deadline, taking a ton of stress of my shoulders and saving the day.
I would highly recommend this business to anyone in need of a seismic retrofit (and in general as well).“

“Major remodeling in 2014. Minor additions to our street-side. Excellent quality and design.“
