Contractors near San Lorenzo

“Valiant Construction has been my life saver for all my electrical needs. John is very responsive, they get out to you quickly, and they make the necessary repairs at a reasonable price. As an added benefit, John is quite honest and will inform you on what should be done immediately and what can wait. I don't even look for electricians these days, I just send John a message on Yelp.“

“I had Palm Construction build a paver driveway, and the experience was fantastic. Ben and his crew were respectful and very professional. They completed the job in a timely manner, and the fair price made it even better. I appreciated how clean they kept the worksite, and Ben’s communication was great, answering all my questions without hesitation. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail. I couldn't have asked for a smoother, more stress-free process.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Atlas General Construction to remodel my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From kitchen to floors to walls, their team transformed my space into a stunning masterpiece.

While there were some initial miscommunications and snafus, the Atlas team, led by my point of contact, Ruben, addressed these issues promptly and professionally. Their commitment to customer satisfaction was evident throughout the process.

The quality of workmanship is impeccable. Attention to detail, cleanliness, and organization were maintained throughout the project. Ruben's dedication and responsiveness ensured seamless communication, making the entire experience stress-free.

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Jose helped us with our kitchen cabinets. Excellent workmanship, quality and a good price. Responsive and committed to delivering a great product.“

“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"!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Dan and his employees were on time and did an amazing job. He helped me decide what would work best for my swim spa. They always cleaned up after themselves and I would recommend them to anyone that needs concrete. Thank you for everything“

“Y&K, Inc. just completed a project for me and I couldn't be happier. Their professionalism throughout the process was excellent. John is an excellent project manager and communicator, and very helpful in keeping everything on track as well. (They are also nice people to work with). They finished ahead of schedule (!!) which was a huge plus. Attention to detail was there every step of the way, and they never batted an eye when I expanded the scope of work (more than once). I look forward to doing more projects with them in the future!“

“We worked with Oscar to help convert our open loft into a proper bedroom. Oscar helped us with the whole process from planning to permitting, and everything was done very professionally.

“Francisco responded quickly and completed the job on time. His rates were very fair. I recommend you consider him for your project.“

“The kitchen remodel was a game-changer for my main floor. It expanded space and eliminated congestion near the front door. The crew from Frost Home Remodeling did a good job, giving it a complete makeover. The team was professional, timely, and communicative. The new kitchen island is a perfect addition, improving functionality and aesthetics. Overall, I'm delighted with the floor plan upgrade and the kitchen island addition, and I highly recommend Frost Home Remodeling for any space update.“

“Helen is fantastic! Great selection of both natural and man made stones. Great knowledge and will to help.

Will go back for our bathroom reno.“
