Contractors in Oakland

“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!“

“I obtained several quotes to trim a large pear tree and Francisco's quote was the best quote I received. He showed up on time, was efficient, and left a clean work site. My prior tree contractor retired after 20 years and I will be using Francisco's services moving forward. Recommend!“

“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!“

“Fourth job with Momentum. I will continue hiring them for electrical going forward. They are precise and thorough!“

“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!“

“I could not have been happier with a company than I was with All Seasons Construction. The entire drainage project was clearly delineated, the project (digging down 10 1/2 ft. and covering the foundation with impermeable material so that the studio below the garage would no longer have water damage). On some days, there were 12 men working to complete the project before the next rain storm! So appreciated the speed with which the project was completed.“

“The first and most important point is that Juarez's work is immaculate and beautiful. The worksmanship is truly amazing. In addition, we are not remodeling experts and trusted Job with decisions. He came through with flying colors, suggesting beautiful but cost effective approaches. When we needed help, for example, moving out of the home at the appropriate time, he helped us with everything - packing our things, suggesting places to store them, and then conducting the move. When Job and his team were working in our home, it is as if a family member was doing the work. We absolutely love our remodeled home.“

“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.“

“When you embark on something as big and overwhelming as a home remodel, it’s incredibly reassuring to work with a contractor you can truly trust. With Anderson Moraes and his crew, that’s exactly what we had when we remodeled our Berkeley home.

Our project was significant: we added a bedroom and bathroom, reframed the entire roof, remodeled the kitchen, and re-sided the house. Our architect recommended that we get a bid from Anderson, and from our very first meeting, my wife and I could tell that he is a genuinely kind and honest person.

When we received bids, Anderson’s came in right in the middle. While we were reviewing them, he was always available by phone to answer specific questions and was open to thoughtful negotiation when appropriate. Ultimately, we felt confident that his team would deliver quality work and that Anderson is a trustworthy man who understands the responsibility that comes with the work he does.

Over the year-long process, it was a pleasure getting to know Anderson and his crew. The care they put into their craft is inspiring, and their skill set is impressive—they truly do everything: foundation work, roof framing, electrical, finish work, custom cabinets, and cedar shingle siding installation. A literal jack-of-all-trades team.

That said, not everything was rainbows and unicorns all the time. We had a few minor disagreements along the way—details around the foundation, pricing for window trim, electrical panel costs, and similar items. But throughout it all, Anderson remained calm, reasonable, and solution-oriented, and we were always able to find outcomes that worked for both sides.

In the end, I’m happy to say that this year-long remodel was remarkably low-stress, and much of that is due to Anderson and his crew being hardworking, skilled, and, most importantly, trustworthy.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We are so SO happy with our garden! Lara was perceptive to our ideas and synthesizing them into what will actually work for our ability and the climate. Besides that, her communication and organizational skills are excellent, and she's a gosh darn delight, besides. Shout out to her crew, too, they were wonderful. I highly recommend Bountiful Botanicals.“

“Friendly, on time, and within the estimate. There were no surpised with testing, they communicated quickly and pro-actively submitted my Sewer Lateral compliance cert day-of completion without asking. Evelio was friendly and answered my questions patiently, thanks y'all!“

“Mano, Nico, and Crew designed and installed my greywater system about 5 years ago. I had a maintenance visit maybe 18 months after, and none in the last three years. Oops! My bad! The system has been working great though, despite lack of maintenance. The pump is solid and the lines out to the garden are all patent. Hoping to install a rain water system soon. Thank you Dig Cooperative!!!“

“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.“

“Peraza Construction is on of the best contractors I have had in my 7 year journey of remodeling my home. Hands down Alex has provided solutions that no one else could think of including cost, quality and timeliness. He really listens to his client and provides options. I would high recommend him for any project. He is the only one I would hire to do anything in my house.“

“After water began to seep into our basement, we engaged Mycodry. They were quick, effective, and very informed. Our space has been meticulously restored by the workers, and it now appears better than before. I'm so grateful to Mycodry for their fantastic work!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Raul and his team on a major home restoration, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

The project was extensive—from installing sheetrock, a new door, a kitchen cabinet, closets, and flooring. Every aspect of the work was carried out with impressive skill, care, and attention to detail.

What truly set Raul and his team apart, though, was their professionalism. They were reliable, punctual, and consistently communicative throughout the entire process. They stood by their guarantee and responded promptly when follow-up work was needed, which gave us great peace of mind.

We highly recommend Two Sons Handyman to anyone seeking high-quality, dependable workmanship.“

“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 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“

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

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