Contractors near San Pablo

“We desperately needed a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel for our condo apartment in a historically significant 100 year old building. As with most condos, there were constraints on site access, hours of work, and unknown structural elements. Several contractors and custom builder-design firms made it clear they were not interested at all, or only if the budget was unlimited! Luckily we got a referral to Best Home Remodeling from Tom at All Natural Stone in Berkeley. Haim, Paul, and Edgardo came several times to review our plans and check measurements and the existing mechanicals before offering a written cost proposal for the construction that met our needs. Their designer, Amy Yu, re-worked custom cabinet layouts we provided to accommodate stock cabinetry at an affordable price point. Edgardo and his team gutted the outdated kitchen and bathroom down to the sub flooring and studs. They rebuilt everything, providing solid workmanship, and creative solutions to difficult design and structural elements. Their tile work is particularly impressive. The crew was quiet, pleasant, efficient, and tidy. Edgardo in particular responded to every question, managed every obstacle, maintained quality control, and is a genuine joy to work with. At the end of the project Best Home Remodeling hired a service to clean our entire condo to remove every trace of construction dust and dirt! We highly recommend Best Home Remodeling.“

“Mike is not only very methodical but accurate. He covers all bases and provides great input when uncertain.“

“Golden State Contractors were recommended by a neighbor to help extend our concrete patio. They did a great job! Very friendly, finished in a timely manner, and they were able to match our old style of concrete from almost 20 years ago!“

“I’ve worked with lots of contractors and construction companies before but these guys are truly the best. Amazing quality and craftsmanship. Communication was perfect and I felt confident in trusting this team with my dream home!“

“An HVAC tech checked out my house and found ducts wrapped in asbestos. The ducts were damaged and exposed and the tech told me I had to remove them before work can be done. (Asbestos is banned and causes lung cancer) Reached out to Andrew contractors and Frank had the most rates. His crew was professional and helpful. Best thing I like about Frank is that he reached out and offer me home improvement advice even at no gain to himself. Through him I found a good HVAC contractor who was very responsive and and did a great job working on my home. I highly recommend going with Frank as he seems to pride himself in taking care of his customers.“

“Emanuel and Co. remodeled the bathroom in our tiny 1907 house. It's beautiful and will help us age-in-place in a neighborhood we love. His communication with customers, expertise, experience, and easy-going manner made the experience painless.“

“We are so glad we chose Reliable Remodeling & Renovation for the remodel of our kitchen and two bathrooms. Igor and Ilya were absolutely amazing to work with and I would highly recommend Reliable Remodeling & Renovation for any project! This was our first home renovation project and they made the overall experience great. Ilya was always available to answer any questions, honest, transparent and a pleasure to work with. The whole team was knowledgable, professional and respectful of our home. It was important for us to stick with the timelines and they made it happen. Ilya went over and beyond to ensure we are happy with the renovation. We absolutely LOVE our bathroom and kitchen remodel. We love our new home and couldn't have done it without Reliable Remodeling!“

“Eli and his crew did a wonderful job on our outdated bathroom. We would definitely recommend SRY Construction to others. They were all very hard working, trustworthy and tolerant of our crazy dogs!“

“It's hard finding good and reliable electricians these days, and I'm very happy that we found Momentum. We've worked with them on several projects, including installing whole home surge protectors and wired smoke alarms. They are professional and thorough, and I'd definitely recommend reaching out to them if you need work done in the Bay Area!“

“We are very happy to have chosen Tinka Construction to remodel our bathroom. The result is exceptional. George was always quick to respond to any of my texts and emails no matter what the news may be. Our bathroom needed a complete teardown to expanding one wall out an additional foot. His crew was outstanding whether it be reconstruction of a wall, plumbing, electrical, painting or cleanliness. And to complement George's crew, he uses highly skilled third-party specialty contractors, such as, for our custom shower install. What amaze us most was how the work was all done as seamless as possible by being creative and resourceful at solving any potential obstacles or issues. We are looking to hiring George and his crew again on another project.“

“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.“

“If you want something done right the first time. These guys are amazing! My wife and I wanted an ADU for our home in Walnut Creek CA. My father is very particular about construction, Silvio has a lot of experience and was able to guide us in making the smart and correct decisions for our project.“

“I had the Nicholas Roofing team inspect my roof and quote a replacement. They were prompt to reply, reliable in showing up and communicating when they said they would, and offered a competitive quote and detailed quote and report on the state of my roof. They incorporated details I wanted done, such as adding insulation and sky lights to my roof, and made this conversation easy. Most importantly to me, they were honest about the level of work my roof needed, and thanks for their honesty, I learned my roof had a few more years in it before I needed to replace it - this is what I am looking for in a great contractor. Months later when I asked for a written assessment of their inspection for another use, they just emailed it over no questions asked, and didn't try to upsell me into a new inspection or something. I really appreciate this team as honest, reliable. Nicholas roofing will be my first quote when it's time to get my roof done.“

“I really appreciate Mary & Matt for the honest communication and work they did replacing three fiber glass doors at my property. Took a few weeks to get scheduled, but they came and installed in all in one day. I'm really happy how the new doors are working. I saved some money painting the doors myself.“

“Excellent, professional window cleaning.
Pleasant customer interaction.
Willing to call again for future service.“

“Fantastic work! Erol was reliable, professional, and easy to work with. The fence is solid, beautiful, and exactly what we wanted. He handled our tricky grade and tied it seamlessly into the existing retaining wall. Highly recommend!“

“Feraru & Associates did a complete makeover of our old and worn out kitchen-- new floors, ceiling, cabinets, all appliances, new paint--while keeping the original design intact. Sorin was the lead person, very knowledgeable and with over 20 years of experience in the local Berkeley, El Cerrito, Albany area. He obviously knows what he's doing and inspires confidence. He made timely and appropriate suggestions and solutions as unexpected issues arose (as happens in any construction project). The crew worked every day making steady progress without any delays and cleaned up well after each day. The project was completed in a timely manner and we are very happy in our new kitchen. Highly recommended.“

“Ken is wonderful person and excellent at his job. He first started wroking for me when I bought my 1926 home in 1998. It needed absoultely EVERYTHING. He put in a new water line from the street, bolted and sheer walled and reinforced a major beam to earthquake-proof it, all new electrical and copper plumbing, beautifully finished a large part of the home that only had a cement floor and sink with no interior walls, completely remodeled one bathroom, rebuilt an entire side of my home due to undetected termite rot, hooked up all my appliances and more. What I paid is irrelevent because it was so long ago.

What is relevant is that Ken is a magician. Every time you are upset about something not going right (because that will always happen with any big job), he will come into the situation and figure out a solution that makes everyone happy (including a highly problematic architect). I'm totally serious about this. This skill alone is worth everything. His crews' craftsmanship is excellent. He finishes work within the time estimates. This is how good of a contractor Ken is: He has been working in the East Bay since the late 1970s and since the 1980s he has been living in the same home in North Berkeley to the present. You will always be able to contact him. He will always get back to you right away.

In terms of cost, I think he is right in the middle--not expensive and not inexpensive for contractors in the Bay Area.

Ken has helped me with many small problems that have arisen over the decades (painting my house, leaking roof; leaking at bathroom window; flooding occurring at my exterior bedroom door; etc.), and he always comes by to give me his time and advice and to hook me up with reliable people who can help me at the lowest cost.

I just can't say enough about how wonderful Ken is to work with.“

“Anderson Moraes has been the general contractor with me on two new construction residential projects as well as a gut renovation of an existing house. I’m an architect that’s done several projects in east bay and worked with many contractors, often on fairly tight budgets. Anderson is one of the only contractors I’ve hired repeatedly as he’s easy to work with, attentive to details, and I appreciate that not only can he oversee complex projects, but he also has a furniture shop and is able to fabricate items for the interiors. It’s rare to find a contractor that will take on small to mid size residential projects at competitive prices that’s also willing to take on furniture scale interior work.“

“Hamad has been taking care of our gardens for years, but he just redesigned our backyard and it’s awesome! He is so talented in design and so knowledgeable about plants. He’s a great listener, and we love the result.“

“I would definitely use this business again. I needed my t-bar ceilings repaired with new tiles hung. I was in a time crunch. I called and they returned my call quickly. They came to bid the job and worked me into their busy schedule. It looks great. Thank you all!! Everyone here was nice with great customer service.“

“I cannot say enough positive things about Linda and Alfredo, and their quality of work. My project was small... a bathroom remodel and a kitchen update, in an older home in Oakland... They did beautiful work! The tile work and the painting was top notch. Such amazing attention to detail! They found some rot, after the demo, and made the repairs at an affordable upcharge. I was grateful knowing that everything about my project was going to be structurally sound as well as pretty. I found their pricing to be fair. Not the cheapest (but I don't want the cheapest - I want quality)... also not the most expensive.. their prices are FAIR. Also, they do What they say they're gonna do, When they said they were gonna do it, and for the Price they promised. AND they're always on time. Basically - that's integrity (to me anyway) So, in summary, if you're looking for Honesty, Quality and Fair Pricing - do yourself a favor and give these folks a try. You won't be sorry!“

“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.“

“Brian worked on a kitchen remodel with us and the results were wonderful. But more than that, the process was smooth, mostly due to his ability to constantly stay on top of details and keep us in the loop with near constant communication. His standards are very high, for himself and his subcontractors, and it was an all around pleasure to work with him over the three and a half month project. I can't recommend him highly enough.“

“Arthur and his team have an eye for design and are as professional as it gets. Back in February 2020, our patio awning blew straight off in one of those crazy Bay Area storms and was ripped from our house. We put repairs on the back burner, and when shelter in place orders were mandated, we decided it was time to finally look into our project. After a quick consult, Arthur recommended a couple of options: either we put the same sheet metal awning back on, or he could build us a wooden trellis. I chose to go with the wooden trellis, and figured now would also be a good time to put in the deck we had been talking about building for years since we had first moved in. Arthur's team - Tony (foreman) and his sons - got to work right away as soon as we reviewed the scope of work and went over a few design ideas. The before and after are phenomenal, as you can see in the photographs. We had a couple changes in design right in the middle, but in the end, I'm blown away by the overall look of how it is now than how it would've looked originally. Arthur and his team were very responsive to our questions and our requests, and his crew were very respectful and professional about their work. We have some other home projects we've identified that we'd like to do in the future, and we will for sure be choosing Hutton Construction for their help in these projects.“

“Wow - so many others coming to try to resolve an issue with a Viking hood fan motor not working - I should have started with Gerry!!! He was professional and friendly, explained everything each step of the way and solved our issue. Lesson learned - call Gerry for electrical issues first next time.“
