Unfortunately my experience with this company wasn't a good one. I contacted Blu dog for an estimate on both my bathrooms to be remodeled and Brent the owner came out to take measurements, pictures and sketches, ect. After receiving a quote, because his "promo" price of 5.5k was apparently for tub only and anything else was additional costs, I asked Brent how much it would be for a grand total for both my bathrooms. He seemed upset that I now wanted to make additions to the quote (add new ceiling fan, recessed light and vanity) Despite having already taken pictures, measurements and sketches of my bathrooms, vanity areas and all, he seemed upset that I asked for these additions. I don't know why, I'm proposing to spend more money with him and he already had all the info needed. He told me he was going to be going on vacation for two weeks and if I wanted to add the items to my estimate then I'd have to wait till he returns. He said he would have to come back to my home and write up a new estimate. Why? He has all the measurements, pictures and sketches he took when he came over the first time. Just doesn't seem professional that he has no one else to run his business and told me i have to wait an additional two weeks while he takes a vacation. Red flags I wouldn't recommend. read more

Earlier this year, Blu Dog completed a partial remodel for my spare bathroom. The result was so good that I decided to contract with Brent for work on the master bathroom. Once again, the results are stunning. My neighbors asked for feedback and I highly recommend Blu Dog for their needs. Our complex is 25 years old so many of us are looking into bathroom/kitchen upgrades. It's been a pleasure to partner with Blu Dog Construction. Brent and his workers are respectful, professional, they show up on time and they get the job done. Thank you! read more

We hired Brent, Blu Dog Const. to remodel our master bath and bedroom. They took MONTHS to complete it but it looked just as I wanted. I called him a couple of years later to report that the floor was making popping sounds. Like loose tiles. He finally came out to look at it and treated me like I should be grateful he looked at it. When I mentioned construction defect he got all defensive and then told me he had a one year warranty and I should have been nice to him. He also then refused to fix it and told me to find another contractor. We gave him several tens of thousands of dollars for this bathroom and we were very patient thru the 3 to 4 months he took to complete it. He was also PAID on demand! If you choose to do business with Brent get your warranty in writing and have him explain what it covers. read more

So glad we found their ad for a bath/shower replacement...Brent and his guys (Scott and Victor) turned our 1970's tub/shower embarrassment into a showpiece. They were professional, on-time and reasonably priced. The tile-work is perfect. My husband and I appreciated Brent's input and expertise when making choices...he was spot on for everything. When the job was complete Brent came by to make sure it was perfect. My only regret is that we didn't know about Blu Dog for our Master bathroom remodel...Finding a reliable, honest contractor who takes pride in their work and their word is a rarity...but with Brent Urton and his crew you can't miss. Thanks, Blu Dog! read more

Owner is way to touchy to work with customers. I was not able to schedule time for quote since the company does not come out times outside of business hours. No evening or weekend. No big deal except that Bruce replied that he regretted thanking me for understanding his hours. A respectable owner would simply had said he understood and was sorry we could not do business together. Wow!!! I have seen previous reviews regarding issue like this. Be careful before selecting this company. read more

It is hard to give a rating because we did not actually use Blu Dog Construction - we just responded to their ad, got a very timely response, and scheduled a very timely visit to get a quote (from Brent). Brent was quite polite and easy to talk to. So, we got the quote. Since it is possible that every bathroom is different, your quote may be different. Our quote was extremely disappointing. The 'ad' said "50% off Shower remodel special - complete only $5445 Reg price $10890." But, we sensed something was wrong when he said (while taking measurements) 'that advertised special is for a standard shower' and went on to say 'doesn't include... and only includes'... and so forth - none of which was mentioned in the ad. Anyway, the quote came in. $9975 Not quite double the ad. But, close enough to double the price to prompt me to write this review. We ended up using Google (and Google pointed me to Yelp) prior to calling Blu Dog. Reading the reviews on Yelp, the reviews seemed positive enough to proceed. If I had read my review (that I am writing now), I would not have bothered calling. So, again, your bathroom may be different, but I wanted to share our disappointing experience. Brent says he has been in business a long time and does top quality work. I suspect that is true, but I have no experience to justify it. I suggest he get a different ad man that is more focused on a more accurate ad. I cannot say there was anything untruthful, simply that the ad failed to have any mention of limitations, restrictions, and items not included. On the other hand, the ad had a beautiful picture of a beautiful shower that looked, to me, to be the exact size of our shower, except the tile went all the way to the ceiling (so a fair amount larger than ours). During his visit to our house, I mentioned that we had talked to Sosa (Livermore). He said that Sosa does very good work, but that they are quite expensive. They probably are expensive, but they turn out to be less than his quoted price. I think I have an apples-apples comparison. And, BluDog's 'regular price' ($10890 before "50% off"), with the limitations of what it includes and doesn't include, is outrageous. I have had email exchanges with Brent about my disappointment and he promised to review/revise his ad in order to establish better expectations. read more

This contractor is unresponsive. Will not return my phone call for an estimate. Must not be a good business man...beware...

I hired Brent and his team to do a full remodel of my hall bath. After interviewing several contractors I choose Blu Dog for two reasons. First was Brent's communication style. He was very forthright and answered all my questions. There was no beating around the bush. When I asked a question I received a full and complete answer. His openness and willingness to answer questions allowed me to learn a lot during the remodel. The second reason for hiring Blu Dog was their price. His final cost was in the lower range of the quotes I received. Going with the lowest price is not always the best deal, but this turned out to be a very good deal because his employees were excellent to work with, Bret provided daily progress updates and all materials and workmanship was as promised. I'd hire him again. read more

We hired Brent and his crew to re model our Master Bathroom in July 2015 and it is about time I posted the review. The job was started the day Brent said he would and completed on time, they work Monday to Friday and did not take any unecessary day off in between. Brent would come and check on the work few times in day and at the end of the day email us on what was done for that day. They did an excellent job, we got custom made pan for the Standing shower which we love.Our new Bathroom looks like a model bathroom now. :) My Husband and I would recommend BluDog Construction to our Family and Friends . read more

We had the pleasure of working with Brent and the Blu Dog team earlier this year, with our master bathroom remodel. What they did was turn our 1983-faux-granite-bland-blah bathroom into what I can only describe as a luxury-hotel-experience bathroom. The price was very fair, even after all the upgrades my wife chose with tile, fixtures, etc. The workmanship is excellent, and real attention to detail was given. We also appreciate that Brent gave us great ideas and economical solutions, such as a few built-in cabinets we added mid reno. Brent was here pretty much every day to oversee our job as it went, and his crew was there every day right on time, and they work hard. Brent came back after the job was complete, to check that everything worked perfect, and made sure that we were 100% happy. And we are! My only downside is that I now have a bathroom that we enjoy so much, we'll never want to move. I guess we'll have to put that dream of property in the countryside on hold. Until then, every morning shower feels like we're on vacation somewhere. Thanks Blu Dog! read more

These guys advertise $4999 bathrooms in the local Dublin magazine. I decided to call them and try them out on a rather large job I had. It took 3 calls to finally get someone out to give me an estimate. A lady came out and measured and said she would get back to me. Well two weeks later I called asking where the estimate was and she said she quit and my estimate was passed on to the owner Brent. I have called Brent 3-4 times and left messages but I still do not have a return call. I have decided that I am not willing to do business with a company as FLAKY as this one. Its a shame since the job I had was a rather large one. read more

My husband and I contracted with BLU Dog Construction to remodel the tub/shower in our hall bath and shower in our master bath. We were very happy with the quality of work and thrilled with the final result. Brent and his crew were very professional. read more

Brent and his crew were perfection. Brent went on several buying trips with me and was very patient. The work was done in a timely manner and I was apprised of each day's agenda. The crew were wonderful their work was perfect. Brent checked in several times a day and made sure that everything was done just right. Couldn't have been better!. read more

Left 2 messages to get an estimate and neither call was returned. Not sure how you get an A+ rating from the BBB when you run ads, discounts and deals in home publications and don't return calls. I guess the business is so good, they just can't handle it all. read more

Brent treated my small job (revising a cabinet to fit in a smaller space) with professionalism, just like it was a major remodel. The results were excellent. We plan on hiring Blu Dog again in the future for bigger remodeling jobs. read more

Brent of Blu Dog Construction just completed a bathroom remodel for me and I could not be more pleased. Prior to beginning the job and throughout the job, if I had any questions, he would respond to my text messages or emails within hours! His crew was at my door at 8:15am on the day he said he would start the job and was there everyday after until the job was completed. Brent readily advised me on design issues which I greatly appreciated and his crew of workers were very pleasant to have at our house during the remodel. The resulting remodel is just lovely! Everyone who has seen it is so impressed with the transformation. I would not hesitate to recommend Blu Dog Construction to anyone needing a contractor and I will most definitely request his services when I begin the remodel on my master bathroom. Brent is truly a professional and a delightful and positive person to work with. Again, I couldn't be happier! read more

We had been looking for a contractor to re-do our master bath for a while. After striking out with several companies who did not call back, prepare bids on time (or over bid) and basically burning a lot of time, we came across an ad in the Homes Magazine. We checked out the license board and some references, then got a bid from Blu Dog. We stumbled upon a gem of a company. The owner walked us through the design element as he understood our vision. The crew was amazing. Always on time, clear about what was to be accomplished every day and they stuck to the schedule. There were no mistakes, the workmanship is above par and the price reasonable. Our home was spotless when they left every evening. We are sorry we found them on our last bathroom remodel and not our first. We are also very happy to find a company in our own town that we do not hesitate to recommend. It doesn't hurt that they are animal lovers, too. read more
