Contractors in Oakland

“A2Z just completed our kitchen remodel, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Communication with our team, led by Dror, was excellent throughout the project. They were super-responsive, often answering our texts or emails within minutes, and were completely transparent about plans and schedules. It was clearly important to them to earn our trust and confidence, which they did from day 1. Eduardo, who was working at our house nearly every day, was excellent from both a technical and artistic perspective, worked extremely hard, and was always friendly and accommodating. He offered a number of design and construction suggestions that invariably improved on our design concepts. The tile backsplash was our design and fairly complex to install; Eduardo did a beautiful job (see photo). When our butcherblock countertop fabricator/installer, a contractor not associated with A2Z, made errors that delayed the project by nearly 2 weeks, our A2Z team did everything possible to make up the lost time and finish our kitchen by the end date they had promised. There were never any surprises or hidden costs; in fact, when challenges popped up, they came up with and carried out elegant solutions, at no extra cost to us. Our kitchen is gorgeous, and we will happily hire A2Z again for any future remodeling in our home.“

“Very responsive, he was available to remove the tree pretty much immediately and did the work really fast. He did a great job and cleaned up the debris. Fair rates. I would hire him again“

“We had minor water intrusion from an exterior staircase that leads to a rooftop deck on our San Francisco home. The original stair finish was a fabric-and-latex system that wasn’t meant to be a wear surface, and over time it started to fail.

After doing some research, we found Westcoat and decided their ALX™ system was the right solution. Westcoat referred us to M 7.24 Builders as a certified installer, and we couldn’t be happier with how things turned out.

Enrique responded quickly, came out for measurements and photos, and had the job scheduled within just a few weeks. As the project moved forward, we added some much-needed railing repairs to the scope, which they priced fairly and handled smoothly.

The crew was fantastic—professional, respectful, and incredibly clean. Since they had to bring materials through the house, I appreciated how careful they were in protecting the interior.

The finished project exceeded expectations. If you need deck waterproofing or exterior work done right, I highly recommend M 7.24 Builders.

They're a licensed contractor and do much more than Westcoat systems. They're knowledgeable, flexible, and resourceful—well worth considering for other construction needs as well.

I'm including some before and after photos of stairs.“

“Highly recommend for ESS (Earthquake Soft Story)! Altamira just finished an ESS seismic retrofit at our house in Oakland and my wife and I are very happy. Oscar was a great communicator and educator on the project and navigating the CEA ESS program related plans and permits, and ensured the project was competitively priced and well managed. Daniel and his crew performed the work, and were very professional, courteous, and tidy. They completed the work on time and within budget, and completed almost all of the CEA ESS application for us. A wonderful team and experience for us. Thank you, Altamira!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Berkley Roofing Just fiished the installation of my new roof in San Francisco on Friday last week. They did an excellent job starting from Miles (sales and Estiator) by explaining and providing a complete proposal. Elina coordinaitng and scheduling the work, Carlos ( Project Manager) came out few days earlier to discuss the project and figure out the site logisitics and Victor (On site Foreman) performing a clean, safe and quality installation. Very happy with their service and performance. Highly recommend them.“

“Job Juarez and his team has helped us with a couple of remodel projects - 1) adding a deck and double doors to walkout to the back deck/patio and 2) renovating our kitchen which included taking down walls and adding beams.JJ has been great to work with - worked with us through surprises that come along with renovations, is patient and conscientious and doesn't cut corners, and is thoughtful in the recommendations/ideas that he proposes. His crew is polite and easy to work with as well.“

“We hired Build Group to take our dirt yard and build corten metal pathways and to build a concrete slab. Fidel walked through with me and gave me a bid after crunching the numbers. I got two other bids from existing crews I have used and hired Build the next day. They got to work immediately, and they were the most professional team we have had working here. We were so impressed with their attention to detail and smart solutions and diligent labor every single day they were here. So happy so far with their work. I will update with photo of the final, compacted DG. Thank you so much Fidel and team!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Lara and her team were wonderful! They built a beautiful deck in our backyard, and now we plan to hire them for future projects. Highly recommend!“

“Mano, Niko, and Nick are knowledgeable, very thorough, friendly, and conscientious. They redesigned and simplified our over-complicated system (originally designed and installed by others) for much more efficient operation, then later did maintenance service. I wish I had known about them when we first designed the house. Highly recommended!“

“Vinconstruction is the company I can highly recommend to anyone. Their proffesionalism, and communication to details are awesome. This company is still on my top list for any work at our church facility located in downtown Oakland. They have done so much including remodeling out church kitchen which looks amazing. I have hired this company to do a lot of work at my property just after seeing what they did at the church. They work 7 days with no day off just to make sure to meet the completion time. They work good with customer for approaching the better deal of their dream projects.“

“I was introduced to Alex when he was remodeling a home for a friend of mine; that went well! Since then I have used him several times. He built a cantilevered deck for me, off the master bedroom at my home. I am a Realtor by trade, so I have also used him several times to help to prep my listings. He has done plumbing work and countertops for me - and is currently doing a large whole house remodel, which includes all the things; paint, floors, new kitchen and bathrooms, new windows, tile work, plumbing and electrical, new deck and landscaping etc. His bids are clear and detailed and he is super responsive. I am happy to recommend him.“

“It is a very professional company with very high standards in its quality and professionalism. I definitely recommend this place.“

“Jeff completely handled our kitchen remodel with expert craftsmanship and a wonderful working relationship. Jeff was flexible with creative changes. He had great contacts and completed remodel on time in middle of holiday stress! We would highly recommend Jeff and his team for any remodel!“

“Jesse and ethos built did an awesome job with our custom built in banquette seating. The workmanship is high and they did the job at a very reasonable rate. We had some challenges around schedules and timing but all in all I would definitely recommend ethos built if you're looking for any sort of carpentry / cabinet work.“

“I used SK Builders to build my very first home. I was moving from CA to SC and I contacted Stacy Gross and we immediately hit it off! She had moved from CA as well so she knew what I was going through with not being able to be there all the time. During the whole process, Stacy sent me pictures, provided me updates and gave me status of the house. I am so beyond happy to have had her as my agent! When something was installed incorrectly she made it right! She even went above and beyond by getting me a barn door for my bathroom door just to make it right! When it comes to agents, she is the best! Even being 2300 miles away, I felt like I was still a part of the process every time something big happened!I am so in love with my home and I am so happy I chose SK but I am so lucky to have gotten Stacy as my agent! She made the process so fun and SK is lucky to have such a great person on their staff!Service: General construction“

“Call Carl for all your Insulation needs, floors, walls, ceilings , They can supply and install it cheaper than you can buy it! Good crew, easy to work with, been in business along time with a Great reputation!“

“Major remodeling in 2014. Minor additions to our street-side. Excellent quality and design.“

“They were in and out, quick!. Super kind. Always answered the phone and all my questions. GREAT quote! Great price, better than the rest. I needed new sewer laterals for compliance, they handled everything with EBMUD too!“

“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’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.“
