Contractors in Oakland picked by BestProsInTown
“My usual tree guy was not answering their phone and we had a big tree branch that broke and was about to fall on our shed. I checked Google and found Francisco and turned out to be way better than my usual tree service. He came right away and removed the dangerous branch, then came back later to clean up the area and dispose of the branches. Price was reasonable especially considering last minute nature. Pay in cash. Great guy, thanks.”
“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!”
“Momentum upgraded an outlet in my home to accommodate a new electric stove. The whole process was smooth from first contact to quote to the completion of the work. The guys who did the work were on time, efficient, professional, and very friendly. The job came in exactly as quoted. I highly 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!”
“We worked with Henry for our entire-house interior/exterior painting as well as flooring, and we couldn't be happier with the results. His workmanship is exceptional, and he pays close attention to every detail. Throughout the project, Henry was responsive and communicative. We were working under a very tight timeline before listing our home, and he went above and beyond to make everything happen on schedule!”
“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.”
“Anderson and his crew are absolutely wonderful. They've completed two major projects for me:<br>1. The most recent, a complete backyard remodel.<br>2. The first was a number of years ago when we moved into our home. He remodeled our garage to create a bedroom and added a half bath.<br>Anderson takes great care and pride in his work, is thoughtful and considerate, and has a team of guys who truly give all their attention to their work and frankly create beautiful things. I would not consider using any other contractor as long as Moraes Construction is in business.”
“Taumani did an amazing job! We are very happy to have a driveway now to park in a very busy neighborhood. He uncovered a pipe during his work and was very flexible and accommodating to how we should address it. He was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the process. It's been over 6 months and it's still looking great. I'd highly recommend him for any concrete needs!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Fixing our rotted balcony was the last project we needed to do on our house, and I sure wish I had found Best Value Home Improvements sooner to handle previous projects.<br><br>Having worked with many contractors over the years, the difference with Frank was clear from the start: he's collaborative and operates with old school integrity. When we didn't know what flooring or railing would work best in our space, he didn't just shrug and demand we tell him exactly what we wanted (like a previous contractor did) — he actually guided us through the options. This made this project feel completely different.<br><br>The crew was punctual and polite, the price was fair, and communication was seamless over text, calls, in-person check-ins. Frank kept us updated on everything: inspections, deliveries, material orders, even making sure the permit was printed on the right size paper for the city.<br><br>For permits and drawings, he connected us with Omid, who handled all follow-up with Oakland so we never had to worry about it. Having managed the headache of permits myself in the past, that service alone was worth a lot.<br><br>When we found more rot than expected on the balcony, Frank was upfront about what needed replacing and the added cost. No surprises, no pressure, just honest information. My goal with this project was to get it done ONCE, RIGHT. I'm glad we chose Frank to make this happen. I watched each step of the work from my office window and am confident in the quality. The balcony is sturdy and beautiful, and now we'll actually use it!”
“Great experience installing our greywater system. We're so excited to be using our water this way. So far so good! And fingers crossed, the system will last a long long while.”
“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!”
“From my first conversation with Alex Peraza, I was impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and attentiveness. He listened carefully, offered thoughtful recommendations based on my home and priorities, and provided a detailed proposal that reflected our discussions. This gave me the confidence to keep Peraza Construction at the top of my list during the bidding process and ultimately select Alex and his team.<br><br>One of the things I appreciate most about Alex is his communication. He is clear, responsive, and consistent, ensuring everyone understands the scope, timeline, and costs. The project is well documented and stays on track. If I decide to refine an aspect of the project, Alex explains any impact on cost or timing, allowing me to make an informed decision while keeping the work moving forward.<br><br>His crew is equally impressive—punctual, skilled, respectful, and committed to quality. They follow the agreed-upon schedule, and Alex promptly communicates anything that may affect it. His regular check-ins have kept me informed and confident throughout the project.<br><br>I am incredibly happy with the improvements and how everything turned out. The transformation reflects what I envisioned and has made the space feel much more like my home.<br><br>Having work done on your home requires a great deal of trust, and Alex and his team have fully earned mine. I cannot imagine trusting anyone else to work on my house and recommend Peraza Construction without hesitation.”
“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.”
“Jeffrey did our master bath cabinets (walnut-looking finish, soft close cabinets, with hidden handles) and it’s beautiful and sturdy. He’s very easy to talk to, professional and punctual. Thank you Jeffrey!”
“They helped me with a major moving emergency. My screw heads were stripped on a Murphy bed I needed to remove asap because my movers were already here. I called, they got here in less than 15 mins & removed the screws in less than 5 minutes. They even offered to charge me 50% less than their usual price but I paid in full because they were prompt & did great work. Will definitely reach out to them again if needed!”
“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.<br>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.<br>I would highly recommend this business to anyone in need of a seismic retrofit (and in general as well).”
“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.”
