“Thank God for Montgomery Sansome . After 2 companies told me I had to rip all the sheetrock in my home , Len said B.S . He was definitely the most knowledgeable person to visit our home .He explained the dew point to us which meant none of the sheetrock had to be removed at all .We laundered our clothes and other fabrics while Montgomery Sansome performed the abatement . We saved 2/3 of the cost of the other companies. We love this company because they are honest and fair .“

“I am a real estate agent based in the Bay Area. In the past 5 years, I have recommended Omri, the founder of Renova Builders, to several clients who have purchased homes requiring renovations and upgrades before being sold. I have received numerous positive reviews praising him and his team, from their project management skills to their impeccable attention to detail in finishing touches. Omri demonstrates expertise, clear communication, and a consistent ability to complete projects on schedule. He maintains a high level of organization, and his team is both knowledgeable and approachable.“

“Had a bathroom remodel done a few weeks back and we love the results. We highly recommend them!“

“We chose Tom for our kitchen and bath remodel after seeing the quality of his past work, and he absolutely delivered. The bathroom now features a gorgeous curbless shower, and the kitchen looks incredible with custom cabinets and granite countertops. Everything stayed on schedule and on budget, and the team was professional and reliable the whole way through. For a two-room remodel, it all felt a lot more manageable than we expected.“

“Montclair Construction did a great job on a structural support for my entry landing and stairs. Super clean and courteous. Overall they did a great job and very easy to work with.“

“M 7.24 Builders Inc completely transformed our kitchen. From the design stage to the final touches, everything was handled with professionalism and attention to detail. The team was punctual, tidy, and very communicative throughout the process. Our new kitchen looks modern, functional, and absolutely stunning. Highly recommend their services!“

“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!“

“Big Red has been my contractor for over 20 years for my 1923 house. Projects Big Red has done for me: Complete Kitchen remodel (2023), Deck extension (2023), complete Bath remodel (2005), and many other smaller projects. Projects start on time and end on time; workmanship is high-quality; cost estimates are reliable; the work crews are a pleasure to deal with. Most importantly, when something isn't quite right, Kathy will work to make it right. It's great not to have to worry! Big Red will never be the cheapest bid on a job, but in the end Big Red delivers value for the money.“

“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.“

“I reviewed this company two years ago. Please refer to that review. Not sure why YELP is requesting a new one. In any case I'm sure they are still at 5 star level“

“We weren't able to work with Sontag Construction because they are too busy to take on our project right now, however Peter was very kind and helpful and gave me some very valuable advices as well as some referrals. Thanks a lot!“

“Amazon was an option but I prefer buying local. They rent office space, pay local taxes, employ locally and on top of it all offered a great first time buying experience. No upsell. They even brought a heavy 5 gallon bucket out to my car on a dolly. Thank you!“

“Great job restoring the clear story windows above our slate roof, guys! I'm thrilled we didn't have to remove any tiles. Great choice of green also!!!“

“The team at Cruikshank was truly outstanding. We did a large project with them and working with everyone could not have been better. Everything came in on budget, the workmanship was outstanding, every punch list item was addressed and our yard is exactly what we wanted it to be. Could not recommend them more highly.“

“Ricki and his team at all things good did a great job on our house. They worked on insulation removal and installation and air draft sealing in our attic and crawlspace. They also installed a new heat pump and upgraded our ducts. The team was punctual, professional, and skilled. Toward the end of the project we had a couple of unanticipated requests and they were accommodating and so easy to work with. Now it’s months later and we have enjoyed what is clearly a more insulated and energy efficient home.“

“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).“

“I am evaluating options for my first major whole-house remodel, and as part of that convoluted quest, I have found the feedback from Berkeley Craftsmen to be both thoughtful and informative. Michael & Lauren have been generous with their time, as well as with authentic assessments and guidance. There is really no doubting either BCs commitment to supporting the most rational approaches to a given project/purpose, nor their commitment to client service. The experience was night and day compared to the “hey, sure we can do it, whatever your budget!” hustle of so many contractors. Bottom line, get in touch if you’re considering a high-touch, high quality local project!“

“Worked for Mike in the Mid-Eights. Was proud to work for a contractor with such a demand for perfection. Wish I still worked for him“

“Sewer lateral. Fast and professional service. Easy to work with. Definitely recommended.“

“Happy 50th anniversary to BBI Construction! Continue to serve our community for another 50 years.“

“I have found Alward Construction to be such a class act. Along with work they did on my house, they poured the perimeter foundation for my accessory building 10-plus years ago. Shortly after that, I needed to put the accessory building build on hold. Recently, upon resuming the accessory building build (on my own), it came to my attention that a hold-down was missing. It truthfully felt odd and embarrassing, on my part, to reach out to Alward Construction after so many years, But I did. Mark was understanding and treated the situation as if they had poured the foundation last week. Not only did they come out to install the bolt, Mark sent Rafael, the builder who was the Lead on the my project more than 10 years ago and Rafael's right hand person from more than 10 years ago! I was grateful and impressed by how Alward Construction has managed to retain these excellent builders and how Mark, without hesitation, stood by the work they did more than a decade ago.“

“Enrique and his crew were here bright and early every single day and worked, worked, worked. We only saw them break for lunch. They arrive between 7:30-8:00 and didn't leave until 3:30-4:00. Enrique was very accommodating with our requests and changes. We've had at least 5-7 quotes from different contractors and Live Oak General'bid came at a reasonable price. We LOVE our new deck!!“

“We enjoyed working with Luis Moreno, owner of Lema Construction and his crew and subcontractors. We did a whole house remodel and addition. It was a very positive experience. It was completed on time and on budget. We lived in our home throughout the process and Luis made it liveable for us to do that. We replaced windows, updated electrical and plumbing, new heating system, refinished hardwood floors, fixed plaster cracks and added 100 square feet to the house. We would highly reccomend Lema Construction and would use them again.“

“Moshe Ezra and his crew do excellent work. Shirlee Ezra is a superb communicator and will go to bat for you in the permitting process. Our retaining wall fortification via massive upslope tension piers was done on time and on budget. This was an elegant / hidden design that was masterfully executed by Ezra Construction. They adapted well to a few surprises. Moshe has "done it all" and his mastery is plain to see. We highly recommend them.“
