    I contacted Be James Team with an oddly specialized request: to build ramps along the side of my two indoor staircases for my aging miniature dachshund. The team responded almost immediately that they could help me out and had the carpenter, Alex, come next day to see what he was working with. A few days later, work commenced and was finished in two days. The ramps are beautiful and incredibly study, which is what is needed for my little old dog to feel comfortable using them. Alex did such a professional job on my strange project and took everything very seriously to ensure it would be just perfect for my house and dog. (He also left the garage and house cleaner than when he arrived!) I'm excited that he made the ramps removable, in case I ever need the full staircase, or move -- but he used great, sturdy locking mechanisms to ensure each ramp was fastened tightly to the wall and to each other - genius! And Larry, who coordinated everything, was easy and fast to communicate with. I never felt like I was waiting for a response or uncertain of next steps or being ghosted... They truly care for their customers. Definitely recommend.

    Fixing my rotted door base

    I called this place because I needed some repairs on my heater duct, doorway fixes. They were super responsive on yelp and even told me they could send someone over the same day in the afternoon. I opted for the next day to collect the things I needed fixed. Slav came by on time the next day and took a look and I appreciated his work on not only fixing the basic bits but the problem solving involved for the other stuff (they turned out to be a bit more complicated than either of us expected). I was able to pay with credit card and it was really quick and seamless. Thank you so much!

    Gaslighting?  Screenshot 3

    We hired them to replace a vanity. It seemed to go well at first, but afterwards we noticed that the drain in the sink basin was higher than it should be, which resulted in water pooling around it instead of draining entirely. We were told that "that's just the design of it." We gave them the benefit of the doubt and reached out to the manufacturer about the drain being faulty (and they believed us because the pictures showed it was installed so high off the basin). About an hour later, we discovered the whole thing was leaking significantly into our brand-new vanity. When we reported it, they claimed it was because we had used it too soon. (For the record, we hadn't touched it since the plumber left hours earlier.) This didn't sit right with us--after all, the basic expectation of new plumbing is that it doesn't leak. We had the plumber return, and he was able to stop the leak. It turned out he had used a layer of putty that the installation instructions didn't call for. Even as he removed it, he tried to blame the issue on our "old pipes." Honestly, if they had just acknowledged the mistake, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But the whole experience felt a bit gaslight-y (we included screenshots of the messages--you can decide for yourself). It seemed like they were trying to take advantage of the fact that we're not professional plumbers. We no longer feel we can trust them and will not be hiring them again.

    Fast communication, excellent work, done quickly. Replaced entire front door and repaired dry rot damage. Price was very reasonable, and they were upfront about options to meet my needs at different price points.

    After vanity and toilet install

    I ultimately chose this company because of their communication through messages on yelp. I was messaging questions all day and they had tremendous amount of patience for me! They also very quickly and kindly explained everything, they were so nice. I also liked how they kept me updated with who was going to be arriving, at what time (and they were on time!), approximately how long the job would take and any additional fees that might pop up. Allan showed up on time, was focused the whole time, and did a wonderful job tearing out our old toilet, vanity, and vanity top and installing a new vanity and fancy smart tankless bidet toilet. The bidet toilet was a complicated install. They asked for the link ahead of time so they could review the manual and be ready on site. Allan did a great job patching the wall, installing, and cleaning up. Highly recommend Allan and Be James Team company.

    During repairing

    We reached out to the Be James Team to address cracking and water protection concerns on our front stairs. This is a long overdue project. In the past, I have made attempts through local community (NextDoor) and got nominations. The first attempt failed when the contractor did not show up at all on the scheduled date. The second attempt failed in the middle of several conversations. So we valued a lot for timely and responsive contacts. This is where Be James Team attracted me. From the beginning, they impressed us with their clear communication. They reviewed the photos we shared, explained the issues thoughtfully, and were upfront about what their team could handle and what might require a larger scope. I can see that they treat the information professionally. Scheduling was smooth, and they kept us well-informed throughout. The technician who came was courteous, professional, and worked carefully -- paying close attention to details and taking the time to do the job properly. The technician speaks limited English, and so we basically texted each other to communicate. However, from his work, he seems to have good knowledge and experience. So here is the timeline of our project with Be James Team. I sent request on Yelp on a Wednesday, and Be James responded momentarily and professionally (gave their insights, quotes etc). I reached out to them again on Sunday after interviewed a few other options. And we finalized the date for their technician's visit (the coming Wednesday). And the technician came on time, and it took 8 hrs to get the job done that day (including shopping for materials needed). While we haven't gone through a rainy season yet to fully evaluate how effective the sealing is long-term, the team clearly took the work seriously and addressed the vulnerable areas with care. We're happy with the experience so far and appreciated their honesty and thoroughness. Would recommend them based on our experience to date!

    The team was super responsive, friendly, and professional. I asked to have two TVs mounted in our new place and they did an amazing job. Vladamir made sure they were positioned where I wanted, and got started. They also charged a very fair hourly rate - other quotes I received were asking $300+. Larry followed up to thank me for the business! Awesome team and highly recommend.

They worked with me on figuring out how to hide a sump pump pipe and navigating through our neighbor's concerns. The build quality is very nice and the crew was great about making adjustments for issues we discovered during the build. They even made the back of the fence look nice for our neighbor by covering the sump pipe. Communication with Wilson and his onsite crew was great. They also did a very good job cleaning up. They didn't have the cheapest quote but I felt this is one of those kind of things where you get what you pay for. For something we see every day I wanted it to be right. Great job A1!

Homeowner experience I hired A-1 Fence to replace an aging fence at my house, and the difference is night and day. Matt took the time to walk the property with me, explain options, and give a clear, detailed estimate with no surprises. The crew showed up exactly when they said they would, worked efficiently, and left my yard cleaner than they found it. The new fence looks fantastic, feels solid, and has already gotten compliments from neighbors. Work on my mom's house After seeing the quality of their work at my place, I had A-1 Fence come out to my mom's house for a much-needed fence and gate upgrade. Matt was incredibly patient with her questions, never rushed her, and helped her choose something safe, secure, and attractive. His team treated her property with real respect, checked in with her at every key step, and made sure she was comfortable with the plan and timeline. Knowing my mom now has a sturdy, professionally installed fence gives our family real peace of mind. Matt and his team Matt is the kind of owner you want on any project: responsive, honest, and deeply knowledgeable about fencing and gates. He returned calls and emails quickly, kept us updated on scheduling, and personally checked the work when it was done. His foreman and crew clearly take pride in their craftsmanship--every line is straight, the posts are set perfectly, and the finish work is meticulous. You can tell this is a long-standing, family-run business that cares more about doing it right than just getting it done fast. Why I'd recommend them Between my home and my mom's, we got consistent, top-tier service, fair pricing, and beautiful results from A-1 Fence. They handled everything--from removal of the old fence to the final cleanup--with professionalism and courtesy. If you're in the Bay Area and need any kind of residential fencing, I would not waste time shopping around; call Matt at A-1 Fence and you'll be in excellent hands.

This was not my first time working with Leo and his team -- I've partnered with them several times over the past ten years at different properties, and they continue to exceed my expectations. Leo promptly returned my initial call and scheduled a site visit within just a few days. Shortly after, he provided a detailed quote, and we arranged the project timeline around his understandably busy schedule. When rain interfered with our original installation date, Leo was quick to coordinate a new date as soon as the weather cooperated. On installation day, Leo and his crew arrived on time and fully prepared. The team was outstanding -- communicative, professional, and respectful of the property throughout the entire process. At the end of each workday, the site was left clean and tidy. The project took nearly three days to complete, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. It was truly a pleasure working with Leo and his team once again. I would not hesitate to contact HH Fence and Deck Company for future projects and confidently recommend them to anyone seeking quality craftsmanship and dependable service.
