“We chose Tom for our kitchen and bath remodel after seeing the quality of his past work, and he absolutely delivered. The bathroom now features a gorgeous curbless shower, and the kitchen looks incredible with custom cabinets and granite countertops. Everything stayed on schedule and on budget, and the team was professional and reliable the whole way through. For a two-room remodel, it all felt a lot more manageable than we expected.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It was a pleasure to work with Jacob and his team!
Exceptional build quality and work on my home. The team's professionalism and attention to detail resulted into a stunning remodel. Jacob's communication and expertise was outstanding, highly recommend! Thank you!“

“We recently had our bathroom renovated with Adval Construction. They did a wonderful job. We are very happy with their work. This is our second project with them. Last year they renovated our kitchen and they also did a fantastic job. The entire crew is very friendly. We would recommend them to anyone.“

“Nate Biron of NAB Construction restored our 110-foot 100-year-old
driveway with pavers and rebuilt our retaining wall, drainage channel, steps, and walkway. The work is handsome, indeed elegant, and meets our needs. Neighbors compliment it every day.
The crew were friendly and dedicated. We are older clients,
and Nate helped us through challenges with care and support.
We recommend him with great enthusiasm.“

“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.“

“We remodeled a bathroom and our fireplace and received the most professional and exceptional service from Raz and the whole crew with LRL Builders! As a first time remodel, we are so pleased with the quality of work and attentiveness of the team to meet agreed deadlines. We are already planning another remodel next year and will absolutely use LRL Builders again! Highly recommend them, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“5 stars across the board. Udi and his team are amazing. We did a project to reconstruct a corner of our house, replacing a slider and another window. The crew was amazing, finishing the job quickly and the work was absolutely perfect. So happy we found Udi, and we’ll definitely be working with him and his team for future projects. Highly highly recommend.“

“Fantastic work! Erol was reliable, professional, and easy to work with. The fence is solid, beautiful, and exactly what we wanted. He handled our tricky grade and tied it seamlessly into the existing retaining wall. Highly recommend!“

“I've had the pleasure of working with Karl Kardel Company on various major projects over the years and continue to be thoroughly impressed with the quality of their work and service. Most recently, they replaced all the windows in my home and fixed a rather large dry rot issue on an entire wall. I have good friends who are contractors that always compliment the workmanship when they come visit. I also used them to rebuild my driveway and couldn't be happier with the outcome. The workers are great, quality is unmatched and one of the few honest construction companies remaining. Can't recommend them enough!“

“Big Red has been my contractor for over 20 years for my 1923 house. Projects Big Red has done for me: Complete Kitchen remodel (2023), Deck extension (2023), complete Bath remodel (2005), and many other smaller projects. Projects start on time and end on time; workmanship is high-quality; cost estimates are reliable; the work crews are a pleasure to deal with. Most importantly, when something isn't quite right, Kathy will work to make it right. It's great not to have to worry! Big Red will never be the cheapest bid on a job, but in the end Big Red delivers value for the money.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 had a complete house build done in Danville that started in Sept. 2016 and finished in Jan 2018. We couldn't be more happy with the end result.4200 square feet of brand new house on the west side within walking distance of downtown was a great way to start 2018. Kraig and his skilledcrew did an outstanding job of timing, quality and budget sensitivity.If we ever get around to building another house, we know who were going to call.......WCI Construction.“

“The most honest and amazing service. Fair priced and good quality work. They did a bathroom for me, floors, redecorating and kitchen work. Can handle and level of job. Totally satisfied and no hassle. Turn up as they promise. Will definitely use again.“

“Ricki and his team at all things good did a great job on our house. They worked on insulation removal and installation and air draft sealing in our attic and crawlspace. They also installed a new heat pump and upgraded our ducts. The team was punctual, professional, and skilled. Toward the end of the project we had a couple of unanticipated requests and they were accommodating and so easy to work with. Now it’s months later and we have enjoyed what is clearly a more insulated and energy efficient home.“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Nature Builders on a landscaping project, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Ed's workmanship is top-notch, and his attention to detail truly sets him apart. Throughout the project, communication was excellent, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Nature Builders to anyone in need of quality landscaping services. Thank you, Ed, for transforming my outdoor space into something beautiful!“

“Stop scrolling and call Nisan ASAP for any foundation needs!!! I was accepted into the CRMP's residential seismic retrofit program and started looking for Earthquake Brace and Bolt (EBB) program contractors. I had 8 companies come out for bids. Some never showed up, others showed up late despite them setting the appointment time and date... imagine the frustration! Then came Nisan! He is no non-sense and honest. He won't waste your time! Out of all the contractors, he was the only one that went over the EBB requirements and proposed work, and was honest about another issue with my foundation. Imagine my surprise when all the other contractors ignored a pretty significant issue that needed to be addressed. His bid was very competitive and he took care of everything!!! Other contractors wanted me to pull the city permits for them, and deal with inspections and uploading pictures and documents onto the EBB portal, but not Nisan! He handled everything, was on time, and very professional! You won't be disappointed!“

“David's exceptional project management skills made our remodeling experience seamless. Quality craftsmanship, professionalism, and transparency - 5 stars!“

“I am evaluating options for my first major whole-house remodel, and as part of that convoluted quest, I have found the feedback from Berkeley Craftsmen to be both thoughtful and informative. Michael & Lauren have been generous with their time, as well as with authentic assessments and guidance. There is really no doubting either BCs commitment to supporting the most rational approaches to a given project/purpose, nor their commitment to client service. The experience was night and day compared to the “hey, sure we can do it, whatever your budget!” hustle of so many contractors. Bottom line, get in touch if you’re considering a high-touch, high quality local project!“

“I was in need of a kitchen remodel but was not wanting to be overcharged for things that were not needed. A friend referred me to John at Blue Jay Construction and let me tell you, it was the BEST decision! They did such a phenomenal job. I absolutely love being in my kitch now. So much space and his suggestions really did help. I am looking forward to my next project with them.“

“Did a wonderful job remodeling our family home. Was done in a timely manner and kept me informed on each phase of the job. Worked with me to keep costs within our budget.“

“I could not be happier with my decision to work with Jim and his crew on our Kitchen and Bathroom remodel. Jim worked closely with me and my designer to make sure I was getting the best results without wasting any money. The subcontractors he worked with were all terrific, he was able to expertly navigate the inspection process, and he made sure everything moved along like clockwork. He and his crew did truly remarkable work and I fully plan on working with them on future projects at our house - he finished on time and within his budget. I'm thrilled I've found a builder I can fully trust and look forward to being able to skip the difficult decision process that is typically a part of home renovation.“

“Worked for Mike in the Mid-Eights. Was proud to work for a contractor with such a demand for perfection. Wish I still worked for him“
