I am *really* fussy about hiring contractors. So many of them conduct their business sloppily and…read moreunprofessionally I can't believe they stay in business at all. So I do my research and am VERY selective in who I hire when our house needs work. My wife and I hired Andy Fernandes and Adval and they proved to be the real deal. Andy was *always* prompt - every time he or anyone from his company was scheduled to arrive they arrived early. Andy and his crew were communicative, clearly very knowledgeable, and straightforward, which is to say that they told me *and showed me* what was really happening and not what they wanted to promise or what they thought we wanted to hear. And they followed through exactly as they said they would. The quality of their work was outstanding. We had a few kitchen cabinets that had gotten damaged by the 2014 Napa quake and were looking like they were going to fall off the wall. Andy sent over a master carpenter (he spent years building stuff for moneyed people on Martha's Vineyard, who can be quite demanding) who didn't "upsell" us by telling us one of the cabinets needed to be rebuilt (the build cabinet in their own shop), he showed us in detail exactly what the problem was and convinced skeptical me that a new cabinet built from real plywood instead of the particle board of the cabinets the flipper who sold us the house had installed was the way to go. They reused the facing from the old cabinets, so the match was immaculate. Price-wise, yeah, they weren't the cheapest I could have found, but they were most definitely not close to the high end, they were right in the ballpark, and I figure if I demand quality I have to be wiling to pay for it. And we most decidedly got what we paid for. I repeat again that I am VERY picky about contractors, but I unhesitatingly give Adval Construction my highest recommendation. Our job was pretty small, but I would hire them for a big job in a heartbeat. This is the way construction contracting is supposed to work.

The Adval team is amazing! We researched a number of companies in the Bay Area for our master bath…read moreremodel/closet project and they impressed us from the start. Kurt came out and spent time with us to understand the scope of the project and really listened to what we wanted. He was professional with a warm and caring approach. Patrick did a great job spearheading the project and Andre and his team were onsite every week working tirelessly to ensure we stayed on schedule. The communication was top notch throughout the project and the team made sure no detail was overlooked which made us feel that our project was in good hands. I would highly recommend Adval!

(The store couldn't do it for nearly a week, but after my unscheduled major surgery, I needed it asap since I couldn't sleep otherwise.) My child found Carlos listed on Yelp, and only hours later, he and his assistant were at our door with our big ole chair. He maneuvered it inside and set it up where we asked, carefully making sure not to bump it or the walls. He literally saved our day. He's friendly, hard-working and reliable, regularly keeping us posted about status along the way. And to top it all off, his fees were more than reasonable. We were delighted to learn he's experienced in a variety of tasks requiring skill and experience. We will definitely be contacting him again. Thank you, Carlos & assistant! Because of them. I was able to sleep that night!
