Our school had a small broken patch of a concrete walkway that needed replacing, and potentially…read moresome larger jobs for the future when our budget allows. I contacted multiple companies specifying that I was looking for a "no job too small" contractor to replace the failed concrete patch. The contractor for the first company I contacted (Napa Valley Concrete) requested pictures, which I sent, and set up an appointment to come look at the patch to provide an estimate. That was the last I heard from him. He failed to show up at the appointed time, and neither called nor texted me again. So, back to the drawing board. I next contacted Connor and Sons via their web site. Paul Connor responded within one business day. He showed up at the appointed time. When I thanked him for doing so, he said "That's our job, right?" :-) I related the all-too-common story to him of the first no-show contractor. Connor and Sons was reliable and professional through the whole process. Paul was communicative when personal circumstances delayed the work. They ended up starting the work on a weekend in order to fit us in between their larger jobs and bad weather. In the end, the concrete itself and its replacement was harder than Connor had anticipated. To be honest, I think they may have lost money on our little job. But Paul honored his estimate despite this. I can't say enough about how good my experience with Connor and Sons was. When our budget allows for our larger jobs, I'm absolutely going to contact them again, and will look for ways to give them more business. Thank you Paul, P.J., Mike, and Dane!

I was pleasantly surprised it was more reasonable than I had expected and promptly booked them for the job. They were excellent at communicating, with speedy work as well as letting me know up front factors that affect the ability to get parts of the job done (wind, rain, etc..) Not only does it look stunningly beautiful but their friendly nature reassured us they were taking good care to get everything we desired accomplished. Thanks guys!!

Bedrock Concrete Construction did such a great job on our stairs, sidewalk, and driveway. I was…read morevery impressed with Alfonso and his entire team from start to finish. While working on the driveway, they discovered that the existing drain was not actually a French drain and that the piping was blocked with dirt. Alfonso explained the issue and offered a solution that worked wonderfully. They removed the old concrete along the side of the house and installed a proper French drain. I really appreciated that they didn't just complete the original scope of work--they helped us solve a problem we didn't even realize we had. We did hit a snag when the Shamrock Concrete drivers went on strike, but Alfonso kept us informed throughout the delay and was very transparent about what was happening. At the last minute, I also asked if they could repair a cracked set of stairs at my old house before our home inspections. Alfonso and his team were able to fit the additional work into their schedule and get it done in time, which I greatly appreciated. They also did a great job matching the color of the repaired stairs as closely as possible to the existing concrete deck, so the repair blended in really well. Alfonso and his crew are incredibly hardworking. What stood out to me most was their honesty, integrity, transparency, quality of work, and very reasonable pricing. I would work with Bedrock Concrete Construction again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend them. You guys rock!

I know I'm making a big deal out of these issues but integrity is important to me and having respect for my time is too. We've all been there where commitments are missed and you end up so frustrated. Not here. This company checked all the boxes for us, so the same day that I got the quote, I said yes. Now let's talk about the work! OMG! These guys are perfectionist and thank goodness because I have pretty high expectations. Now, I know this isn't typically what happens because schedules can be tight, but I said yes on Friday and they worked all day to finish my job on Saturday...the next day! Impressive! They listened to what we wanted and asked if I was pleased with where the project was headed. They are neat, pleasant, patient, and committed to getting it right. Superior customer service. I recommend this company 1000%!!!

From my first conversation with Alex Peraza, I was impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and…read moreattentiveness. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

I hired Mark for a medium-sized remodeling project (about 6 weeks) . He provided a low estimate…read morecompared to other bids. He then said that his workers were all covered by Worker's Comp, among other benefits, and that he paid a fair wage, and that he was the most ethical contractor in the industry, resulting in his workers' being highly productive and efficient leading to shorter project times. This sealed the deal for me. Furthermore, he claimed that the extra 30% or so that he was billing for his workers, was due of the worker's comp insurance, which only he provided to his workers (as opposed to the many unscrupulous other contractors that were around). As a property owner, you could be held liable for workers' injuries if the contractor did not carry worker's comp, and so, I agreed to Mark's deal. Within a few days, Mark had exceeded the estimate he had quoted, and was very difficult to get hold of. Furthermore, his workers would come and go at all times of the day (between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm) and I simply lost track of how many "cooks" were in the kitchen. As of last count, I noticed some 15+ names on the invoices, and some would appear for a couple of hours, and then disappear. But Mark would send me invoices claiming that his workers spent the entire day at the property - which was simply untrue. Mark would not be interested in even listening to me or investigating my grievances. Instead, he would brag that he did me a big favor by accepting my project, and that he typically only did multi-million dollar gigs, and not pittances like mine. Long story short, the project budget exceeded the estimate by more than 100%. Mark became extremely aggressive and feisty, and it was impossible to work or reason with him. I hired a Private Investigator to find out who this person really was -- like a Dr. Jekyl Mr. Hyde. Turns out that he had been sued for fraud, but more importantly, the whole worker's comp, fairness, ethical contractor, and so on, charade, was ALL ONE BIG LIE. It also appears that Mark may have left the Better Business Bureau due to bad reviews and that he may have hired a reputation defending company to increase his Yelp reviews to 5 stars by questionable tactics. Good Guy Builders license has been suspended for Worker's Comp violations and is under investigation. After my PI reported this, I found on the CSLB site: "License is under suspension for failure to comply with Workers Comp. A workers´ compensation certificate or exemption statement may have been received by the Board but not yet processed. Once the certificate or exemption statement is processed the suspension will be lifted retroactively to the effective date of the certificate or exemption statement. Ask the contractor for proof of worker's compensation and contact the insurance company to verify coverage." Here is the URL: https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=1016932 Please see image below. This is one of the greatest betrayals where I was charged an arm and a leg, and told a romantic story of workers being taken good care of, and so on, all the while, when Mark was simply pocketing the money that was supposed to cover his workers' safety and well being. Such greed, deception, and dishonesty, in my opinion, does not deserve a second chance. You decide whether you want to hire this company and deal with Mark. --- Addendum to Mr. Santosh R's note: 1. I am a real person. I was threatened by Mark that I would be sued if I posted anything negative on Yelp. 2. Yes, I did edit my posts before finally settling on one. Anyone in my position would do the same. 3. Finally, the facts remain unchanged. Good Guy Builder's license is under suspension and this may be independently verified on the CSLB website (see link). Likewise, the lawsuits against them may be independently verified. People like Santosh and Mark are the real culprits who boost their yelp ratings in a manner that skews it in their favor - by attacking anyone who posts negative reviews, and threatening those in dispute with defamation lawsuits. Do not believe anything Santosh or Mark say. The suspension is more than ample evidence that Good Guy Builders is a crooked business and not one that you should be patronizing.
