He took on the challenge of narrow, hilly roads and made 30+ homeowners happy with nearly 5000 sq ft of newly paved asphalt.

Bay Area Paving did a great job replacing our close to 100 year old driveway in Napa Valley which…read moreis very long, and steep. The crew did top quality work, were fast and efficient, and cleaned up carefully once the job was done. They were sensitive to the areas near our house and garden, and very respectful of the old rock walls that are meaningful to us. The long and critically important drainage swales and runoff trenches that they also installed will handle the winter run off we get each year. We would recommend Bay Area Paving to friends and family and will be using them again when it comes time to apply a seal coating. The pricing was very fair and we know they will stand behind their good work. I think we are good for another 50 years!!

In addition, they created a two path walkway and small patio in our backyard using pavers left over from a side patio project years ago. They also replaced our very repaired city sidewalk with a new one (which we paid for since the city would not) Owner Junior was immediately responsive from the very beginning to any questions/concerns or to any changes needed; the same was true for Gabriel, the project manager. Since I was overseeing everything due to my husband's declining health, I really appreciated that they treated me as a woman as an equal. Although there were unexpected delays due to city permitting and weather, the wait was worth the finished project. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

That was back in 2019 and it still looks amazing! Almost no weeds grow through the cracks, unlike the existing pavers in our backyard. I love the way they installed the new pavers at an angle and added a border.

Installed new 18" ceramic tile floors in the kitchen, laundry, and bathroom. In the bedrooms and family room we went with an upgraded pile carpet . Helped me with the decisions on the colors and brought many samples that helped with the design. Installed 5 new windows a sliding glass door and a new front door. Installed a new granite countertop in the kitchen with stainless steel sink, faucet, disposal and plumbing. To match the rest of the condo they upgraded the kitchen with LED Caned recessed lights on the ceiling and sprayed on new knock down texture. Dialed in the bathroom installing a high quality cabinet, sink, faucet and plumbing . Painted the inside of the whole condo with a great looking base color and a nice contrast color for the trim and baseboard . No Drama and no surprises with Tim and Alexis. They're quotes on there estimate are to the point, fair,easy to read and understand. Their attention to detail is thorough and the quality of work is solid. I highly recommend Tim and Alexis Foote owners of TAF maintenance and painting company for your home improvement needs.

We chose TAF Maintenance and Painting mainly because 1. His company carries general liability…read moreinsurance and worker's comp. 2. TAF is BBB accredited. 3. He has a team. Tim made sure that he wouldn't start painting the exterior of our house until the unusually rainy Santa Rosa weather cleared up. We had to postpone a couple weeks before the conditions were just right. This gave us time to think about the colors we wanted. We picked two colors for the body/trim but we were stuck on deciding a color for our gutters! Tim took the time to get some samples, give his input, and help us make a final decision. He and his team started work on Monday morning and were done by Friday afternoon. Mon - Pressure washed. Tues - Primed, chalk, remove rotten wood. Weds - Paint front door/side door/garage, replace rotten wood. Thurs - Body color! Paint trim. Friday - Paint gutters, touch up, and clean up. My husband and I were very appreciative of Tim's prompt emails and keeping us in the loop during the whole process. He and his team were nice and professional. We are extremely happy with the care, thoroughness, and quality of work the team put into our house. Thank you, TAF!

We hired Brian Daigle Construction after we lost $100k to a crooked contractor who left our home…read moregutted and in total disrepair while we were in lockdown elsewhere due to covid. I was in a vulnerable position after this experience and desperate to complete my home renovation asap, and Brian reassured me that he would "save my project." I put my faith in Brian and agreed to a lump sum project with a significant portion up front. The contract stated the project would be completed in 6 months, but Brian promised it would only take 4 months. We became concerned about Brian's conduct soon after beginning to work with him. He sent me inappropriate/flirtatious texts while drunk and also revealed to us that his own wife had kicked him out of his house for drinking too much. I had my husband confront him about this and he apologized and reassured us that he would conduct himself as a professional going forward, so we decided to move forward with him. Things went well for a couple of months before the project started to fall apart. Brian was increasingly behind schedule and the renovation was somehow going over budget even though we weren't adding to the scope of the project. We went out of town for two weeks in the 4th month of the renovation and came back to find that the project had completely stalled, and that Brian had "fired" two crew members (later I learned he let them go because he couldn't pay them). I also found out that the last remaining crew member quit because hadn't been paid in three weeks and was owed $2000. I confronted Brian with my concerns that the project was months behind and only a quarter of the way complete although we had already paid him three quarters of the budget. He swore to me that he was going to do right by us, made a bunch of empty promises, and then proceeded not to come to work once for a week straight. At that point I fired Brian and then touched base with all the sub-contractors and the crew. I was shocked to discover the depth of Brian's deception and mismanagement of my project. It turns out that he had pocketed most of the $140k I paid him and failed to make payments to the subcontractors which should have been paid in full at this stage. I also learned that he had instructed the crew to only work part-time because he didn't want to pay them more than that. And the subs expressed to me that they were about to leave the project because he kept putting them off and blaming it on me. In short, he was lying to everyone, he stole funds from the project, and his addiction issues were obviously interfering with his capacity to work. The financial losses I've sustained due to Brian's theft of my installment payments are significant. I rehired all the crew and subs and had to repay them what I already gave Brian to pay them. I gave Brian a chance to make this right and refund me the money he owes me: I allowed him a month and half to recover the funds and I offered him a payment plan. He has refused to take responsibility and even attempted to slander me to his former subs and crew (who aren't buying it) and tried to convince them not to work with me. We have been basically homeless for a year during the shelter in place due to negligent and dishonest contractors and now we will continue to be without a home for the entire holiday season. It is a shame that this happens so frequently and it's almost impossible to find a trustworthy and reliable contractor. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone and I intend to take legal action against Brian Daigle Construction as well as file a complaint against his license so he cannot do this to anyone again.

We sought out their help in finding privacy trees for our deck. They came back with options and an estimate. We agreed on their recommendation... and then everything fell apart. They called the day before install to say sorry we cannot find the trees you wanted (the trees that they recommended and provided a signed estimate for). Then they showed us a variety of too small trees and trees that were incompatible with the sun/shade composition of the area. Finally we found ones that they assured us would accomplish our original goals for privacy. Two weeks late they arrive with 3 foot tall trees that were brown and clearly insufficient for providing privacy. They assured us that these would grow fast and once planted would look better... and now here we are 4 months later with 5 dead 3 foot tall trees that we need to pay a new landscaper to dig up andreplace. What a nightmare... and truly a disappointment. Hopefully this is helpful to the next unsuspecting homeowner.
