“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 had All Things Good help me with insulating and air sealing my home, and their whole team was great! Everyone I interacted with throughout the entire process was kind, reasonable, and easy to work with. They were prompt, I knew exactly what to expect, and they were happy to make adjustments on price when appropriate. I highly recommend them, and would definitely work with them again.“

“The All-Electric California team is the BEST. When our gas water heater sprung a leak, I did a bit of research and learned about heat pump water heaters. I reached out to several places for a quote, and was extremely pleased when AEC got back to me within two hours! The quote process was painless, all I had to do was email in some photos. They were extremely knowledgeable about the various rebates, tax incentives, and bill credits through SFPUC, and they included them all on the quote so I could see just how much we qualified for. The overall cost was even cheaper than what we were quoted to replace it with a new gas water heater!

When it came time for installation, their whole team was awesome. Efficient, friendly, and clean! They had to run some new electrical wiring to the heat pump water heater and they did it along the ceiling where it is not an eyesore. They also took the time to route the water drip pipe out into my back garden where it is currently making my plant very happy! After the install they showed us how everything works and helped us set up an app to enroll in our utility demand response program, which would help us qualify for incentives. Their team was very educational and very communicative at every step of the process.

We are very happy with our new heat pump water heater and look forward to working with this team on other home electrification projects!!“

“The engineering department is one of the best, if not the best in the area. Whether you have a problem with temperature, or humidity they have a solution.
The technicians quality workmanship, attention to detail and professionalism is second to none.“

“While scheduling can be a bit challenging, Roman is a fantastic, hard-working contractor with a positive "can-do" attitude, and he is able to get things done on the competitive and affordable side of the spectrum. We definitely plan to consider hiring him again if we have other repair needs or construction projects in the future.“

“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.“

“We use ward for foundation replacement. Communication was good and responsive. The work ends on time which is great.“

“My experience with Sima is one of great quality work, very detailed customer service and great follow-up. The managers are good, caring and generous.“

“I decided to hire GHS Landscaping Inc after receiving several proposals for my new patio project. I'm certain that I made the right decision to hire them. From the beginning, starting with my first meeting with Dan to assess the project, he was straightforward and he knew what he was talking about. I'm a retired civil engineer, so I appreciated Dan's knowledge and his ability to communicate clearly with me about project details.
Every man that worked on my project had the same great attitude on the job -- they enjoyed their work, they were proud of their work, and they didn't waste any time. I would surely hire GHS Landscaping again for any future landscaping project.“

“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!!!“

“I recently hired SBC Construction to complete a full bathroom remodel in my home, and I could not be more pleased with the entire experience from start to finish. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, their professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and overall workmanship consistently exceeded my expectations.
Their team took the time to understand my vision, my style preferences, and the function I needed for the space. They offered suggestions that elevated the design even further and helped me make the best decisions regarding layout, finishes, fixtures, and materials. They stayed transparent throughout the entire project, kept me informed at every stage, and always made sure I felt comfortable with timelines, any adjustments needed, and overall project progress.
The quality of their work truly speaks for itself. Every detail is clean, precise, and built with craftsmanship and integrity. My bathroom now feels like a luxury spa — elegant, modern, and beautifully executed. They were respectful of my home, punctual, organized, and efficient. They also cared just as much about the final result as I did, and that is something rare to find.
I genuinely appreciate the level of care and professionalism SBC Construction demonstrated. They made the remodeling process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. I would highly recommend SBC Construction to anyone looking to do renovations or major remodeling. Their quality of work, honesty, communication, and expertise makes them stand out from many other companies in this industry. I feel extremely grateful for the transformation they delivered, and I will absolutely use them again for any future projects in my home“

“Skyline Construction is one of the best commercial construction companies in the Bay Area. We had the opportunity of working with them on their San Francisco Headquarters and found their team to be incredibly collaborative, innovative and professional. They are great communicators who know how to efficiently anticipate their client’s needs. This is a company that values their clients, industry partners and employees at the highest level. They focus on building high end, well-crafted interior projects and can deliver on a fast track schedule. Throughout the design process they consistently sought to create spaces that reflected their clients and employees wants and needs. We highly recommend Skyline Construction to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable and creative firm to partner with throughout the construction process.“

“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!“

“We have used Associated Builders for several projects over the years and are always impressed with the quality of their work and ease of working with them. Chris, John, Peter and the whole team have been fantastic. They have replaced our roof and most recently removed the shingles on the front of our home, repaired dry rot and replaced with new stucco. They did a beautiful job - feels like we have a new home.“

“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“

“Erol and his team at North Berkeley Design & Construction did exceptional work: Custom fence with matching gates, a porch railing with integrated privacy screen, and a dry stack stone retaining wall. Every element came out beautifully.
What set Erol apart was that his bar for quality and perfectionism matched mine. I come in with strong opinions and a high aesthetic standard. Rather than just executing my vision, he presented his own ideas and insight, which took it to the next level. Learning to trust his judgment was one of the best decisions I made on this project.
The craftsmanship from his crew is truly phenomenal. The carpentry in particular is the kind of work that's hard to find. Precise, considered, and built to last. Communication throughout was clear and professional, and the whole experience felt genuinely collaborative.
Highly recommend Erol for anyone who wants a designer and contractor who cares as much (if not more) about the result as you do.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Here’s a polished version of your review:

We had a smooth and positive experience with Bay Home Remodeling. They completely transformed our bathroom, and we are very happy with the results.

Tom is knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He guided us through the entire process, including when and where to purchase materials and fixtures, and kept us informed every step of the way, including scheduling and passing inspections.

His crew was efficient, skilled, and pleasant to work with. They maintained a professional attitude throughout the project and delivered quality workmanship. We were so pleased with the experience that we ended up adding a few smaller projects in our kitchen as well.

Their pricing was reasonable, communication was excellent, and they delivered on their commitments. I would highly recommend Bay Home Remodeling to anyone looking for a dependable contractor for their home renovation projects.“

“Where to start with the office remodel Zack came in visionary eyes gleaming Karla and Joey ran the show with precision the whole crew top-notch from designing foundational concepts to finishing touches it was a spectacle Roddy tackled plumbing quirks that cropped up out of nowhere scheduling with Josh ensured nothing ever fell through the cracks can’t forget dear Orna quiet hero her updates were spot on kept our spirits high it’s not just an office now it's a work of art“

“Exceptional Remodeling Team — Quality, Care, and Craftsmanship

We completed a major remodel of roughly half our 1951 home with LB Construction & Remodeling, including reconfiguring walls, adding a brand-new bathroom, and completely reworking an old one. Because the house is older, we needed thoughtful ideas to make the space work better for how we actually live today. Liran came in with creative, practical suggestions that we ultimately moved forward with, and designers were brought in to prepare plans and permits.
Throughout the project, Adi, our project manager, was an absolute standout. He is one of the kindest, most attentive people I’ve ever worked with—always communicative, frequently on-site, and uncompromising when it came to quality. His attention to detail was exceptional, and nothing escaped his notice.
I also have the highest admiration for Flavio, the lead contractor. His craftsmanship is outstanding. We didn’t choose the easiest design solutions, but the end result—especially our primary bathroom shower tile—is truly a work of art and something everyone comments on.
We are extremely pleased with the entire LB team and highly recommend them. They hit that rare sweet spot: high-quality work at a price we could afford.“

“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.“

“We hired Berkeley Craftsmen for a major remodel of a 1932 house, and they exceeded our expectations in every possible dimension. It is exceedingly rare to find all the qualities you want in a general contractor—top to bottom throughout an organization—but Berkeley Craftsmen delivered them all: exceptional competence and skill, absolute reliability and trustworthiness, meticulous attention to detail, and a genuinely delightful team to work with.

They should really be called Berkeley Perfectionists—in the best sense of the term. We would walk through the house, and someone would suggest moving something “one inch,” and every time they were right. It’s hard to believe, but they cared about our house just as much as we did.

The entire team worked incredibly hard and steadily over the course of ten months. Even when we expanded the project scope—sometimes at their insistence, because they were committed to doing things properly—they stuck to the schedule and finished on the promised date. Literally no one could believe it, but we moved in on the day we had agreed to at the start.

We cannot speak highly enough of the integrity, craftsmanship, and quality of Berkeley Craftsmen’s work. And just as important, we were lucky to enjoy the camaraderie and collaboration that came with working alongside this remarkable team.“
