Construction Companies near Orinda

“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.“

“They have done a large amount of work at my husband’s workplace and did an excellent job. Our friends had a redo on their backyard and it looks amazing.“

“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 had All Things Good help me with insulating and air sealing my home, and their whole team was great! Everyone I interacted with throughout the entire process was kind, reasonable, and easy to work with. They were prompt, I knew exactly what to expect, and they were happy to make adjustments on price when appropriate. I highly recommend them, and would definitely work with them again.“

“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!“

“The team at Cruikshank was truly outstanding. We did a large project with them and working with everyone could not have been better. Everything came in on budget, the workmanship was outstanding, every punch list item was addressed and our yard is exactly what we wanted it to be. Could not recommend them more highly.“

“Great job restoring the clear story windows above our slate roof, guys! I'm thrilled we didn't have to remove any tiles. Great choice of green also!!!“

“Dan & his crew did an amazing job on our large home project! He truly is a one stop shop for all of your project needs- from retaining walls, drainage, driveways, grading, demo, dumpsters, and they do a beautiful job with all of it. Their price is also very reasonable and if there is an issue, Dan will make it right!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“WCI-GC did an excellent job on our San Jose office project. Chad, Chris, and their team were professional, reliable, and kept everything on track with our timeline. They were attentive throughout the process and made sure all details were handled. We’re very happy with how the project turned out and look forward to working with them again in the future.“

“Here’s a polished version of your review:

We had a smooth and positive experience with Bay Home Remodeling. They completely transformed our bathroom, and we are very happy with the results.

Tom is knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He guided us through the entire process, including when and where to purchase materials and fixtures, and kept us informed every step of the way, including scheduling and passing inspections.

His crew was efficient, skilled, and pleasant to work with. They maintained a professional attitude throughout the project and delivered quality workmanship. We were so pleased with the experience that we ended up adding a few smaller projects in our kitchen as well.

Their pricing was reasonable, communication was excellent, and they delivered on their commitments. I would highly recommend Bay Home Remodeling to anyone looking for a dependable contractor for their home renovation projects.“

“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.“

“Erol and his team at North Berkeley Design & Construction did exceptional work: Custom fence with matching gates, a porch railing with integrated privacy screen, and a dry stack stone retaining wall. Every element came out beautifully.
What set Erol apart was that his bar for quality and perfectionism matched mine. I come in with strong opinions and a high aesthetic standard. Rather than just executing my vision, he presented his own ideas and insight, which took it to the next level. Learning to trust his judgment was one of the best decisions I made on this project.
The craftsmanship from his crew is truly phenomenal. The carpentry in particular is the kind of work that's hard to find. Precise, considered, and built to last. Communication throughout was clear and professional, and the whole experience felt genuinely collaborative.
Highly recommend Erol for anyone who wants a designer and contractor who cares as much (if not more) about the result as you do.“

“Outstanding quality, professionalism and quick to start our project. Udi and his team did a fantastic job on our remodeled room and really understood our vision. Udi and his team provided reliable service and will be reaching out for future projects. If you're looking for top-tier work, I highly recommend Lion Group Construction. Thanks again for the great work!“

“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!“

“Montclair Construction did a great job on a structural support for my entry landing and stairs. Super clean and courteous. Overall they did a great job and very easy to work with.“

“Great experience all around having 2 vanities installed. As soon as he saw what was needed, we got right down to business and worked out a plan. There was no up-sell pressure or anything. He came back with a reasonable quote right away, scheduled a date and duration, and then stuck to both. The finished work is very high quality, despite some tricky work customizing an odd-sized vanity counter. Raz was honest and went above and beyond what was expected.“

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

“I approached Bear Remodeling with a massive challenge: the laundry room was cramped, and the half-bathroom was barely functional. I didn’t just want a facelift; I needed a complete rethink of the footprint. Most contractors see walls; this team sees potential.

The Engineering Edge Relocating the water heater to the exterior of the house used creative engineering to free up just enough square footage to fit a storage cabinet and sink & vanity that has completely solved my organizational woes.

Precision Where It Counts My laundry room was a game of inches. I wanted to transition from a stacked unit to a side-by-side washer and dryer, but the clearance was incredibly tight. Bear remodeling moved a door around the corner to execute the installation with surgical precision—it is a perfect fit that maximizes every single millimeter of the room.

The Ultimate Upgrade The crowning achievement was the bathroom. They successfully converted a small half-bath into a full bathroom with a seamless, curb-less shower. The craftsmanship required to pitch the floor perfectly for drainage while maintaining a level entry is top-tier. It has turned a utilitarian space into a luxury experience.

Integrity and Grace: Like any complex project, there were a few unexpected problems along the way. However, the team at Bear Remodeling handled them without complaint. They consistently came up with solutions that worked for everyone, navigating every challenge with grace and professional composure.

If you have a complex project that requires both architectural creativity and technical expertise, Bear Remodeling is the only team to call. They don’t just build rooms; they solve puzzles.“

“NAB did a great job with my 500 sq ft paver driveway. The workers were great and paid attention to detail. Nate was good to work with and he helped with keeping the project going.“

“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.“

“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!“

“After a washing machine leak, our downstairs flooded. They brought in fans and dehumidifiers. They worked tirelessly and I’d recommend them to anyone dealing with water issues.“
