Contractors near Fairfax

“Two preliminary notes: First, we are in central Marin (despite my out-of-date SoCal location). And, second, this is a long-overdue review, because Sam and his team remodeled our kitchen and master bedroom in late 2019 / early 2020. Sam certainly deserves a strong recommendation, and I also think this late post is a testament to how well his work has held up. We talked to a number of contractors before hiring Sam. He came across as the most genuine and honest, and we were very happy that the person he presented as when we talked to him was exactly who he was throughout our project. In addition to being a highly skilled builder (and carpenter), the thing we appreciated most about Sam was his integrity. We never once had any issue where we felt like he was trying to "get one over on us" (something we have heard about with many other contractors). If there was an area where the cost might go beyond the quote (something that happened shockingly infrequently, based on the horror stories we've heard about other contractors), he always flagged it well in advance, and it was always a genuine issue that seemed unforeseeable. Sam really earned our trust--so much so that we asked him to do a sliding door replacement a few months after the kitchen / bathroom work. He and his crew did a great job with that as well. I will follow up to this post in the near future with some pictures of the great work that Sam did on our kitchen and bathroom. But 1.5 years later, I'm happy to report that everything's in great shape and we've been loving the remodel. Sam has our high recommendation!“

“Such a great team, I reached out to Maldonado Jessy Construction and was very respectful, kind and helpful for my full bathroom-remodel. We truly are thankful for him to help us with a big project and others as well. The job was done very efficiently and timely.“

“In my experience, the Design-Build team has always been professional, detail-oriented, and has completed their projects on time and within budget. The quality of the work is exceptional, and they are great at communicating throughout the process. Will definitely recommend them again to my clients for future projects!“

“These guys are great. They remodeled my kitchen of our SF home. Did a fantastic job. Andre was communicative through out the process. I was scared with all the horror stories I have heard about contractors!“

“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!“

“Working with Jon and the G family team on our remodel was an excellent experience from beginning to end. Jon worked with me on my budget and his crew got the job done sooner than expected. We are thrilled with the outcome. Throughout the process, Jon and his team were highly organized. Every conversation was noted and summarized via email. The accounting was also spot on as we made revisions to the plan. We also had a great experience working with Angel and the G-family design team who helped us with all the finishing touches. I would highly recommend G-family for your next construction project.“

“Replaced our very long sewer line on a steep hillside. Great communication, reasonable cost compared to many others.“

“Wow. The (3) fences built by Above the Rest recently have far exceeded our expectations. They are well-built, stunning fences, and after having gotten a number of estimates from builders in Marin, feel as if we got the best value possible. They have three teams of builders and we had a number of guys here-- they are all great. There were a number of nuances and untraditional elements to what we were asking for and they went out of their way to execute in the best way possible. Sergio and family/team were absolutely amazing, even returning a couple of times after completion to ensure some finishing touches were tip-top, and working in the blazing heat/full sun remaining dedicated to correcting a tricky problem-- TRUE PROFESSIONALS. HIGHLY recommended.“

“I bought a Valor gas insert here 9 years ago. It's worked great until recently I had trouble shutting it down. I called Hearth and Home and Scott helped me determine the most likely cause over the phone...the receiver, which needs to be replaced every 7 years on average. I came into the store and he showed me how to remove it and change it out with a new one myself, saving me an expensive service visit. I successfully changed it out and it's working perfectly again. This store sells a great product with wonderful customer service!“

“I hired Jose and his team to do a siding replacement on our 2 story condo. His pricing was very fair and the work that was done was excellent. Jose was very personable and easy to talk to and his staff were also very friendly. I would highly recommended his services and he will be the first person I will call for future repairs.Service: Home renovations“

“Walter is wonderful -- he's responsive, works quickly without compromising quality, and is very easy to work with. I will be calling him again soon!“

“I have been working with Mike Millsap and Doug Degnan on several projects for our home renovation and they are great. I've always felt communication was clear, and expectations were realistic. I've really appreciated their guidance throughout several processes, whether it be design considerations, recommendations for various specialists across tile, soil or electrical and knowledge sharing in our preparation to submit applications to the county. These guys are just genuinely helpful and nice people.“

“Tomas and his crew helped me with significant electrical, plumbing, and carpentry on my residential property. They were fast and professional. They also let me know if they were going to be late or delayed. I highly recommend them.“

“There are so many contractors in Marin but Kerr Construction is the best of the best. Jeff is a fantastic person with so much building and business knowledge. His professional crew repeatedly deliver the highest quality of home construction. His office employees are always friendly and helpful. Construction can be stressful but it is so much easier to navigate the land with a company that is all around excellent in its class. My husband and I have worked with Kerr Construction on several projects and will definitely work with them more in the future.“

“As a person entering my 70th year I have had many homes and undergone numerous renovations. All were tolerable but full of the typical frustrations most have encountered. Until I met Eden Roc/Dan Nowell and his crew. I cannot imagine renovations being done more hassle free, and with such attention to detail. Dan has built a guest house and, later, a wine cellar for me. The first was a very substantial project. He helped find the right architect and always had sound advice for dealing with the various permitting issues. Invariably, he had excellent suggestions to make to the architect and later the decorator. They mentioned numerous times what a delight he was to deal with for them. In the same timeframe, I was heavily involved in renovation that my daughter was doing in Marin. The work was fine. It was not, however, the same flawless project experience from start to finish that I have had with Eden Roc.The construction process was perfect, even down to the (trivial?) detail of how clean the premises were left each day (we lived there during construction). Recently I moved to Yountville and had a very substantial landscaping project done. This was not a project appropriate for Eden Roc but Dan took the time to look at the landscape architect’s plans and made several absolutely key suggestions that everyone else had missed. His communication skills, his ability to work with others are simply unmatched. I cannot recommend Dan and his crew highly enough.“

“Brian and his team have now completed two different projects for us - a rebuild of our outdoor roof decks and a living area renovation project that included building custom floating stairs with glass. Brian and his team truly helped bring our design ideas into reality - we provided inspiration photos and they made it happen. They are also great at problem solving and helped us figure out to build our rooftop decks with adequate drainage that protected the integrity of our roofs and home. Brian's team is incredibly professional, creative, punctual, and tidy, leaving our home cleaned up and livable each day after they went home. They also have a great eye for detail and don't stop until they feel they've made everything perfect. They also stay on budget and don't nickel and dime you. We enjoy working with Brian's team as they are all fantastic humans and actually missed them when the project was finished. We highly recommend Wolk Development Company.“

“We put out bids for a ~$300k back yard project involving excavation, new poured concrete retaining walls, poured concrete stairs, a 650 sq deck and more. We knew that Rempe was likely to come back with the most expensive bid, and indeed they did. We took that bid because we had confidence that they had actually put some real effort and thought into the bid and that this would be the cost for the project, without overages unless we expanded the scope (which we did). It was broken down into fairly atomic pieces with costs attached to each one, showing us that they weren't just throwing a number out and weren't going to come back to us later saying, "Oh, this wasn't in the scope, the cost is going to go up." That's in distinct contrast to the other bids we got, which didn't give us nearly the same level of confidence that they'd thought our project through completely. We're EXTREMELY glad we went with Rempe. Working with them has been a simply fantastic process, from bid through to project completion. The answer to any request has always been "yes" (though of course some requests come with a price tag) and not only are they very detail-oriented but also concerned with trying to work around your life so they're only in the way as much as they need to be. As an example of their concern for detail: We had a couple very large outdoor umbrella bases sunk into the ground with 2'x2'x2' of concrete poured around them. I hate crooked lines, and when we put the umbrellas in after, I could see that one of the umbrellas was a little off. Measuring it, it was off by 0.9 degrees. Our foreman on the project (Dave Rempe, the owner/founder's brother), who is a construction superhero, immediately agreed that wasn't acceptable, jackhammered the base out, re-leveled it, and then repoured the concrete. Not only that, but he decided the OTHER one, which I hadn't even mentioned, was slightly off as well and redid that one without us even asking. I would absolutely use them again, and would recommend them to anyone who wants a project done very well for the price on the bid.“

“I hired Even to bolt my house's frame to the foundation. He did a fantastic job and went above and beyond. First, he helped me understand what aspects of seismic retrofitting were worth pursuing, and once I made the decision, he made it happen. His team worked quickly, and got things done in a very short time frame given the extent of the work, and they left the house looking beautiful. I would definitely work with Evan again (in fact I just asked him for a quote for another job).“

“Highly recommend. I needed help with a last minute project and Construbay went above and beyond to get the job done with a very fast turn around. Will be using them again for sure!“

“I had a great experience working with this company on my bathroom remodeling project. They did everything with great attention to detail, very clean and high-quality work. I really appreciate how professional and responsive they were throughout the whole process. The result came out exactly how I wanted I’m very happy and definitely recommend them!“

“I had an excellent experience with Lamperti. First of all, after I reached out, they were very quick to get back to me. Sean, the owner, was at my house the next day to do measurements. Realizing he also needed to check on electrical, he came back the day after for another look. Delivery of our equipment was quick and straightforward. His team was polite, timely, and very careful with both our equipment and our house. I would recommend them highly and use them again in a heartbeat.“

“We hired HousesSavers/Deckmasters to resurface and waterproof our driveway and 3 decks. Brandon and his whole team get an A+. The work was top notch and on time. The communication was excellent. If there was a problem, Brandon and his team truly went above and beyond to correct it. We will definitely hire them again.Highly recommend!Service: Waterproofing“

“Thank you so much for taking on our project. We really want to compliment you on the professionalism of your staff. We were so impressed with their focus on the job, their attention to detail, their consideration of our comfort and their attempts to alleviate disruption. Thanks again for everything. - MSMService: Interior structural repairs“

“Tony & his team were awesome to work with for the complete renovation of our bathrooms. Tony was excellent at communicating the process along the way, including when we ran into some discovered leaks & discovered plumbing issues which had been previously done incorrectly/were problematic— they helped get everything done correctly & back up to code. Very happy with the end result, thank you!“

“Towery Electric has been amazing to work with on several projects at my home. Every time, their work has been top-notch, and you can tell they really care about doing things the right way.
What stood out to me most is how respectful they are--not just to me, but to my home. They always made sure everything was clean and protected, so l never had to worry about my furniture or floors.
Each and every one of their installers l've met have been this way! They clearly have built a great company culture which we benefit from!
Communication with Alex, Kevin and James has also been fantastic! They kept me in the loop every step of the way, answered all my questions, and were always super friendly and professional.
I will continue to call Towery for all our electrical needs as they have proven time and time again that they are someone I can trust to deliver an excellent value and quality installation.“

“We had the pleasure of collaborating with Steve Frias on a recent demolition project in Hayward, which involved the deconstruction of a 10,000+ square foot building that previously housed a bar and restaurant. Steve provided a competitive quote and demonstrated exceptional communication skills, meeting with us multiple times at our office to ensure a thorough understanding of the project scope. His extensive experience of over 30 years was evident in the efficiency and expertise he brought to the project, which was completed with a skilled crew and heavy equipment in just three days. Steve ensured all necessary permits were in place and demonstrated a thorough understanding of demolition and debris removal regulations. His professionalism and dedication to quality work earn him a well-deserved 5-star review. We highly recommend Steve Frias and his company for any demolition project."“
