We have had the pleasure of working with Jonathan twice: During Covid he made bookcases for our…read moreliving room (see photos) with storage cabinets underneath. The results were outstanding- they look like they have always been part of the house. This year we had Jonathan replace our ramshackle front balconies, create a door for the exterior under our house and fill in some flashing work. All excellent work. See photos below. Jonathan is super easy to work with and highly communicative. I have had numerous issues with contractors in the past who don't show up, don't return phone calls, etc. Jonathan does none of this- he is on time, calls/texts if there is any delay, tells you exactly what is going to happen and when, and truly works with you to ensure that you are happy with the project. Jonathan is incredibly personable and treats you more like you are a friend he is helping out then as a client; however, he is highly professional. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Jonathan again- and you shouldn't hesitate to hire him, either!

AJ was referred to me from my realtor. I hired him for a full house renovation, and the entire…read moreexperience was exceptional from beginning to end. Taking on a full house renovation can feel overwhelming, but his professionalism, organization and communication made the process smooth. What really set him apart was his problem-solving and guidance. He offered smart design suggestions, handled unexpected challenges without hesitation, and always made sure to explain options before moving forward. He gave me great suggestions for my bathroom renovations. He suggested a floating toilet and figured a way to add a stand alone shower and bathtub in my small primary bathroom. He also collaborated with me in designing my powder room, and gave me exactly what I was looking for. Most importantly, AJ enjoys his job, takes pride in his work, and enjoys working with his clients . He's patient and answered my never ending questions and always explained what was happening. I'm so happy with the transformation of my house and to find a contractor that is trustworthy, reliable, and knowledgeable.

Their estimate was detailed and thorough. The workers sent in were respectful and did fantastic work. They were flexible when we wanted to make changes in the project.  I was also happy that Frano was always available to answer any questions. When surprises were found during demolition, Frano was clear as to what was found and made solid recommendations as to what we needed to do. Only issue during our 3 months remodel was delay in delivery of new kitchen cabinets which postponed our move in date for ten days. I recommend Sol Builders for your next project.

In summer 2019 I discovered I needed to complete a bathroom remodel in a short timeframe as I was…read moremoving out of my house and preparing it for rental. Floorboards were rotted out around the shower. Mike had the time for my project, and I am so thankful he was able to do the work for me. His prices are fair. He communicated clearly, completing the project on time. Each day he arrived on time and stayed on schedule. I was also impressed with how he noticed details that were necessary to the project and improved the result: adjusting the size of a vanity, adding a towel rod, designing a hallway arch to work with pipes. Mike was also considerate of my needs as I was moving out at the time-he facilitated deliveries, went beyond the call of duty with clean-up-awesome-and offered to be on-call as I was out of state for part of this project. The end result is beautiful, and I have retained Mike to also take care of my house as needed into the future. I recommend Mike 100%. Honest. Conscientious. High quality work. Punctual. Great communicator.

He is a dedicated concrete contractor and specializes in foundation repair/replacement, structural upgrades, seismic work and drainage. I hadn't heard of MR Construction, but I did my due diligence before selecting him. Well known, high quality contractors in the Berkeley/Albany use his services frequently. In fact, one of the general contractors that I spoke to told me he used Randolfo for his own house, so that made me feel confident that Randolfo could get the job done to a very high level. His prices are fair and his work is clean and carefully executed and he doesn't cut corners. I'm a very demanding client, and Randolfo made sure that the work was done to the highest level. My architect who didn't know his work was impressed with the end product. If you need a dedicated concrete contractor for your project, I highly recommend getting in touch with this contractor. You will not be disappointed.

In brief, these guys are amazing. They worked with incredible efficiency and professionalism. With only four guys, the right tools, and experience, they demoed the entire interior of the house down to the studs (lath/plaster walls and ceilings and removed a chimney in the center of the house), the entire rear exterior, and removed stucco from all of the windows that are going to be replaced in just 5 days! I visited almost every day and each day I was (literally) shocked at how much progress they had made in just an 8 hour shift. What's more, they recycled a good deal of what they pulled out of the house and spent a great deal of time cleaning up every day, making sure that there was as little dust or nails/screws left behind as possible. I worked alongside them for half a day and they were very personable and their foreman, Jorge, was very communicative and helpful. All in all, I can't be happier with these guys. They are fast, professional, and genuinely pleasant. You really can't ask or get more from a Service provider.
