“Exceptional Remodeling Team — Quality, Care, and Craftsmanship

We completed a major remodel of roughly half our 1951 home with LB Construction & Remodeling, including reconfiguring walls, adding a brand-new bathroom, and completely reworking an old one. Because the house is older, we needed thoughtful ideas to make the space work better for how we actually live today. Liran came in with creative, practical suggestions that we ultimately moved forward with, and designers were brought in to prepare plans and permits.
Throughout the project, Adi, our project manager, was an absolute standout. He is one of the kindest, most attentive people I’ve ever worked with—always communicative, frequently on-site, and uncompromising when it came to quality. His attention to detail was exceptional, and nothing escaped his notice.
I also have the highest admiration for Flavio, the lead contractor. His craftsmanship is outstanding. We didn’t choose the easiest design solutions, but the end result—especially our primary bathroom shower tile—is truly a work of art and something everyone comments on.
We are extremely pleased with the entire LB team and highly recommend them. They hit that rare sweet spot: high-quality work at a price we could afford.“

“They took great care in preparing the surfaces to be painted and paid close attention to detail throughout the entire painting process. The end result was a beautifully painted interior that exceeded my expectations.“

“Was awarded by county for Earthquake Brace and Bolt (EBB) program through Alameda. I've called a few contractors but only requested 1 inspection and it was with these folks because they've provided confidence from initial contact. Extremely patient, answered all of my questions and thorough at every step of the process. Timeline for scope of work was accurate. Price felt fair for the work, thoroughness, and confidence. Highly recommend.“

“Helen from Artistic Stone has given excellent customer service since the first day I met her. Not pushy, knowledgeable, has a good eye, helped me to be selective in choosing the slab as of it was her own kitchen. Will refer anyone to Helen and this business. They’re craftsmanship is also very good.“

“Bathroom sink was badly clogged! Needed this issue resolved quickly. I called gladiator around 5 pm. Tech showed up at 7:30 pm & fixed my clogged sink! Really like how fast they were able to show up. Tech was very friendly, detailed as well.“

“We asked Oscar to help us remodel our condo and from the get-go, we realised that we made the right choice. Oscar was very patient, and understanding and went above and beyond to ensure that our home looked great.

As we were both newbies, he had very helpful advice on where to buy materials from, and he also pitched in with things that he thought would enhance our aesthetic. For instance, we bought a kitchen backsplash tile that had to be special ordered and Oscar got us an accent end for our backsplash that complemented the tile perfectly.

I could go on and on. The project took about four weeks from start to finish and I don't remember feeling any anxiety about it at all. Oscar has this way of putting your mind at easy.

At the end, the work was exemplary and our condo looks like a million dollars! I will recommend Oscar's services for anyone who asks. If you want to make your house look beautiful and want complete peace of mind, please look no further than Oscar's Construction and Remodeling.“

“I highly recommend Villatoro Construction. They performed a number of renovations at my home and in addition to being extremely competitive in price, they created a realistic schedule and stuck to it. Victor Villatoro was very easy to deal with and his crew was wonderful. I could not have asked for better communication or more painstaking care of my home and its contents. They are careful, thorough, and take pride in their work. Best of all, any issues I had during and after the work was completed were speedily and satisfactorily addressed. This is the kind of company we all wish we could find, but which seems to be increasingly rare today.“

“A year ago, the total remodel of our kitchen in our 1936 home was completed. I waited to write a review to determine the lasting satisfaction of the remodel. The remodel was a full demo of the old kitchen including removing a wall to add an arch between the kitchen and the dining room. Replacement of two windows. Full custom cabinetry allowed us to have exactly the fit and function we desired. All new up-sized appliances (from Friedmans Appliances in Pleasant Hill...highly recommended). The new kitchen was fitted with new hardwood floors that were made to perfectly match the existing floors in the living room and dining room Overall, the kitchen is gorgeous and its function fits exactly how we want to use a kitchen Welte was great to work with. It started with a thorough review of the plans and a detailed proposal which included what work was planned, expected timeframe and committed costs. The project itself went very smoothly. Protection of the existing spaces was always top priority (including awareness and care of our two indoor cats). Some change orders along the way were added to cover requests that were not part of the initial plan. Welte used some subcontractors for things like flooring and dry wall construction. They stood by the quality of those that did work for them. The people were very professional and personable. It was a pleasure to work with them, which included a project manager (Andrew), project coordinator (Julie), lead craftsman (Rick who was on site every workday) and assistant (Al), and specialists as needed (e.g. electrician). Bill Welte, the owner, was always accessible and oversaw the project to assure top quality, a very easy job for him as the skill and talent of his crew was top notch. There may be less expensive contractors but we got full value from the high level of quality and workmanship. As a thank you from Bill for trusting Welte Construction with our remodel, after the project was completed he paid to have all the windows in our home professionally cleaned. A very nice touch. So, one year later... We are still totally enamored with our kitchen. The quality was put in from the get go and I know it will stand up for years to come. I highly recommend Welte Construction for any projects you may be considering. The bigger the better I believe.“
