This review is for the solar system installation I had them do. I signed a contract with them in December 2015 and put down a deposit. They said they could start sometime in January. January turned into February. I never got any firm answers about when the installation would happen, just that it would be soon. February turned to March. I'm getting annoyed and still not getting any explanations about why there is a delay. In mid April, I finally get an installation date for later in the month. There were probably some other annoying delay details in there somewhere, but it's been awhile and I'm trying to forget the horror. To my surprise, Anthony does finally come at the end of April and finishes the job. Nick finishes the hook-up with PG&E in a week and I'm running. I'm ecstatic. Nick says that to compensate me for the long delay, they will install bird wire around my panels for free. (Note: you need this to keep pigeons from nesting beneath your panels if you have them in your area) As a gesture of goodwill, I refer one of my neighbors to them for a solar installation. I don't hear back from them for awhile. I periodically check back with Nick and he says they'll get to me eventually. In a few months, my neighbor tells me her installation is beginning. I ask Nick if they will be able to install my bird wire when they're in the area doing my neighbors install. He gives me the runaround and says they'll get to me later. Frustrated, I try a different tact. I say I want to add another panel to my system so they can make some money while doing my bird wire install. I continue to get the runaround. Eventually, Nick says that Anthony will come in November when he has an install in San Ramon. That date passes and Nick doesn't respond to my calls or emails. The next month, he tells me to ask Anthony directly about when he can come. I do this and Anthony ignores my inquiries. In the meantime, the pigeons have infested my roof and making a mess. My neighbor is complaining about all of the pigeon droppings on his property due to all of the birds. During the big rainstorms, I notice my gutters are overflowing....no doubt from clogging due to the pigeon droppings. After waiting a long nine months of broken promises and non-responses, I give up and hire someone else to do the bird wire job. Honestly, if they had just told me to pound sand, I wouldn't have had to waste my time waiting for them and give the pigeons a chance to mess up my roof. Remember, this is how they treat someone that gave them a customer referral! So in summary, long....long........long........delays before they start your installation, non-responsive customer service, and not following through on promises they made. What happens if you have something break while the system is under warranty? I don't think they will come out to fix it based on how I've been treated. I wish I'd have gone with one of the bigger name-brand installers. read more

I say this without irony: besides our children, Anthony was our biggest blessing of our ten year marriage. Let me tell you why. We hired someone we trusted to help set us up for success in our half-DIY kitchen renovation: build a beam for a supporting wall, add in other framework, and additional work with plumbing. Not only did all of this guy's work fail during the inspection, but he ran for the hills after collecting payment (luckily, not the full amount--we learned later though that he didn't deserve even a quarter of what we paid him). After more investigation, we learned that we were looking at a completely gutted kitchen with work that had to be COMPLETELY redone, from the new-but-wrong beam, to the plumbing. I was weeks away from delivering our fourth child and completely lost. All other contractors we called (and we called SO SO many) either didn't return our calls, were too busy, or clearly were delighted to take advantage of a desperate pregnant woman's situation and ride all the way to the bank. (Luckily, we were wiser by this point and were able to identify those people quickly.) Anthony was connected to us by some Facebook miracle and since January is a slower month for his usual business--solar--he was able to fit us in. The amount of work this man did in a week's time is extraordinary. He worked ALL day every day, not even pausing to eat, and dealt with the hardest of situations. Nothing he did was simple--even things that should have been still presented tricky problems that had to be thought through carefully and executed with exact detail. Not only was Anthony on site and doing all the construction himself, but he did so with level-headedness, craftsmanship, and a sense of honesty that completely blew my mind, especially after our first experience. I was brushed off and dismissed by other men we had worked with before; not with Anthony. I was treated with respect and 100% fairness, and involved with things--which I absolutely wanted. Also, the work he did was exceptional. Finally, every single thing Anthony did passed with flying colors with quite the picky inspector. The inspector clearly respected Anthony, his thought processes behind things, and his actual work. Because of Anthony, ALL our problems were fixed beautifully, we passed inspections the first time, and were able to move forward with our renovation so that this baby came home to floors and walls that we wouldn't have otherwise had without him. So whether you end up working with him on solar or construction projects, I absolutely cannot recommend Anthony enough. He restored my belief in humanity again (not an exaggeration). Both my husband and I credit him to blessing our lives during one of the most stressful times of our lives. Thank you, Anthony!!!!!! read more

Anthony Durst Construction came highly recommended from my neighbor who also used him for his solar project. I had a 7KW system installed by Anthony and had my roof replaced at the same time, by one of his subontractors. Anthony and Nick were very easy to work with and very timely. The quality of work was impeccable. And we also had Anthony installed a front entry double door for us. The work was excellent. He and his people work very quickly and efficiently. The meter is running backwards. They did not overcharge and they also had a special payment plan which we did not use. I am very please with the quality, timeliness, his inpu/options and outcome of his work. I would use him again for any of my future projects. read more

Anthony came over on a Wednesday evening to look at the bathroom we wanted remodeled. He listened to what we wanted, provided great instruction to us on what we needed and we had the work completed by the following Tuesday. We had a new wood floor put in and it couldn't look better. Really amazing craftsmanship. I'm so pleased with how the floor looks, I want even more wood installed in the hallway. Anthony also installed a new vanity and two toilets. I"m so happy with how things look. I definitely want to work with Anthony on future projects and highly recommend him. read more

Anthony was recommended to us by friends he had done work for. We wanted an addition and some special features added to our home. It involved everything from new foundations to roofing, plus the electrical and plumbing work. Anthony was very helpful in walking us through planning process - architectural drawings, city approvals, and detailed costs, etc.. The work was done according the schedule/costs he provided. He was very open to additional requests we added along the way. The work areas were left clean at the end of each day. All the workers were courteous and efficient. He was very helpful by showing us at each step options we had for controlling costs and/or adding something to make it more functional for us, since we had health concerns. We are very happy with the work. We highly recommend him. And, if we had more work to do, he would be our first choice. read more
