Mike is the best general contractor I have ever worked with, by far, and his team and subcontractors were all excellent. Mike did a total facelift of our home in Menlo Park two years ago, which included new windows and doors, replacing wood shingle siding with stucco, new stonework, new roof, down-to-the-studs remodel and soundproofing the Master Bedroom, front yard landscaping, etc, and we are very happy with the result. It feels like a new home, done the way we want it. The pros of working with Mike: 1) he stays on schedule. My experience with other contractors has been that they are not good at project management, miss their timelines and charge considerably more than their estimates. This doesn't happen with Mike. 2) highest quality materials and work, done with attention to detail. In many cases, I felt like Mike was correcting mistakes made in the original construction (such as reframing the master bedroom ceiling). 3) he had ideas for the project that we didn't have but made the project better (such as converting our garage to one large door instead of two small doors, finishing the eaves, using wood paneling on the ceilings of the front and rear porches, etc). 4) he was very quick to respond and solve problems, often within minutes. 5) he stays on cost. There were no surprises in the bills. The only time things costed more was when we decided to expand the scope of the project, which we did on several occasions. The cons of working with Mike: 1) I think he is more expensive than the average contractor. For us, it was well worth the cost to stay on schedule and have such high quality, beautiful work done on our home. Also, but not unique to Mike, don't underestimate how disruptive it is to remodel. It was hard on our family, but now we have a beautiful new home to live in, and I thank Mike and his crew and all the subcontractors for that. read more

We have worked with Mike Cacci on two remodels twenty years apart. Our first remodel touched most of the house and we just finished a remodel of two bathrooms as well as freshening other parts of our home. Mike is the only contractor that my husband and I would ever use. When Mike tells you he is going to be done on a certain date, he is done on that date. He picks excellent sub-contractors who match his commitment to quality work. We look forward to working with Mike again in 20 years! read more

We hired Mike to remodel our home after hearing about his attention to detail and his ability to stay on schedule, so we put him to the test: - We were having a baby two weeks after Mike's scheduled completion date for the project and planned to move back in before the birth, leaving little room for delays - We surprised Mike with requests to add significantly more scope to the project, totaling at over 60 change orders Mike succeeded, cramming a significantly larger project into the same timeline while maintaining a high quality bar for all work. The project covered most aspects of the home, including changing the wiring, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, roofing, windows, doors, and refinishing all walls inside and out as well as expanding some rooms and raising ceilings. Mike had a capable team, suppliers, and subs. Jason, the project foreman, especially stood out with strong communication and clever problem solving when surprises came up. One thing we appreciated was how Mike and Jason proactively offered ideas to make the remodel better. Many of our favorite details of the remodel are actually the result of their suggestions, such as flipping our living room layout and creating a storage area in the attic. We're now at 9 months since the remodel and it has held up well and we're happy with the results. A few areas did need minor follow-ups, but Mike and Jason have been responsive and handled everything. We had previous projects with other contractors who wouldn't respond or follow through on follow-ups, so this has been a relief and a reason we'd choose Mike and Jason again for future projects. read more

We are about to start our third project with Cacci Construction . After having major work done on the foundation, and a complete kitchen remodel, we are now remodeling our primary bathroom. At this point we wouldn't think of using anyone else. We have in the past used less expensive contractors, but we were not satisfied with the quality of their work. Mike hires excellent subcontractors; they stand by their work and take pride in the work they do. We are extremely happy with Cacci Construction and highly recommend them. Mike's motto is "Attention to Detail" and he and his associates very much exemplify that precept. read more

I am a little late with this review. But because of the results I thought I would post a review. They fixed my expensive kohler toilet seat which had a very odd connection. Since new, It would always come loose and wobble and you could not tighten it. But they changed it and it has been good now for years. Thank you for that. read more

I highly recommend Cacci Contruction. The quality of their work was great, on time and their employees and the subs were all incredibly nice, efficient and respectful. We couldn't be happier. The job included removal of a cantilevered deck, replacement of two sliding glass doors with windows and new stucco, insulation and paint. read more

We found Mike after a water leak incident caused by the faulty job from a previous contractor. Mike was very helpful right at the beginning with all the paper work requested by my insurance company. Our original plans were delayed multiple times by the pandemic, but Mike was respectful of our concerns. When we finally started the job, he did a great job enforcing safety standards. Everybody was wearing masks in the house. Mike works with some top-notch professionals. From plumbing to tiles, every team we interacted with was communicative, efficient and highly competent. We couldn't be happier with the results, and we truly appreciate the entire team at Cacci to wrap up our 2020 with a beautifully built home. read more

I highly recommend Cacci Construction/Mike Cacci. I have used Mike and his team for several years now for a variety of residential projects, both big and small. He is a professional, detail oriented, highly organized, and trustworthy. A huge callout is that he completes projects ON TIME. His guys show up each day according to the agreed upon schedule, which schedules are consistently well-communicated. He is very accommodating with construction surprises and other intervening factors. If you get a bid for a lower quote, it is highly likely you will be trading quality and scheduling commitment for any savings. Thank you, Mike. read more

We are done with Phase 1 of our renovations and we are over-the-top-happy with the outcome. We had a 70's kitchen with white tile with brown grout - combined with strange architecture. We now have a modern and beautiful kitchen, bathroom,and living room. Extra bonus - our Belmont home with a stupendous view looks fantastic from the street as we had a great amount of work to adjust the roof and siding. Our construction lasted between mid-February to July. The whole time Cacci's crew and sub-contractors were our guests and they were always polite, respectful, and tidy. We never at any moment felt insecure with this crew in our home. Both my husband and I were ill-adept to design and to give input to the process. Cacci Construction both put us in the hands of the right vendors and gave us input during the process that led to a fantastic outcome. They are - simply put, perfectionists - at every level of detail. I can't tell you the difference in price point - but I can tell you that I have had numerous amounts of friends who have told me stories of disasters with their contractors. All their stories were consistent - schedules not adhered to, lack of communication, expectations not met-- we NEVER had any of those problems. read more

The Best Contractor I have ever worked with, Hands Down. I found him through a recommendation from two friends who had work done. One had his whole house remodeled and the other had some insulation, Hvac, paint, garage loft, and electrical work. Referring back to my first comment... they agree. Mike was always on time, answered my questions and e-mails quickly, had a process that worked. He created a schedule from at the beginning of the job and even with the addition on gutting and remodeling a guest bathroom, he finished on time. So my project was a condo in San Carlos. It dated back to the 1980's and never had any work done to it. I had a vision on taking out the fireplace, opening up the kitchen, making the area modern, etc. Mike helped me with the vision and connected me with a great designer - Lynn Moore. There were several little questions and issues that came up and Mike just explained the situation and took care of it. All of his suggestions down to choosing the right lighting to recommending where to buy bathroom fixtures were spot on. I got to know his team and whether they were your contractor, doctor, dentist, or mechanic, you would be happy to have any of them. They are very particular and professional The final product is exactly what I wanted. He hires the right people and makes sure that every thing is just right, down to the cabinet doors being adjusted just right before the job is finished. If you need any work done on your house, you need to contact Mike Cacci and use him as your general contractor. read more

See all

We added a room to our townhouse and felt that the quality of work was excellent (which is what matters in the end). The work involved, new concrete floor with hardwood, new roof, walls and electrical for approx 100 sq ft. All of the subs were professionals and completed their part with quality. The schedule slipped a bit in the end and I thought could have been better managed. I am sure prices are not the lowest, but again, you get what you pay for and I am happy with the quality of the outcome. read more

My husband and I have used Cacci for three major house projects: a large kitchen, a family room and dining room, and master bedroom remodels over the past 8 years. The reason we always go back to this company is for quality, reliability and trustworthiness. We have never had a problem with any subcontractors that Cacci works with and we can always expect and receive the best workmanship and results. The vision we had in every job exceeded our expectations because they listened and their subcontractors listen and worked with us to achieve the look we wanted. When they schedule the work it gets done and when they say it's going to get done. They were accommodating to our schedule and inevitably when changes came up they still try and keep to the schedule or work around it. Remodeling is difficult, but Cacci Construction makes it pleasurable, especially when the job is done and we get to enjoy our beautiful new space and investment. read more

This is a review from someone who has actually hired and worked with Mike and Cacci Construction. We have hired Mike and his company two times over the last ~10 years or so and were very pleased on both occasions. The cons: Yes, he charges more for his work then some other contractors you'll find. Yes, he is booked out many months in advance. Yes, he has a very direct manner of speaking and dealing with people. But don't you want to work with a contractor that is in high demand and talks straight? That's why we hired him twice and have gone to him for advice in between projects and why we will hire him again. The pros: 1) He insists on excellence, you will love your remodel and won't do a half-assed job. That means he'll make strong recommendations where he thinks you might be cutting corners in ways that will lead to disappointment and why he probably doesn't take every job. Every detail is attended to all work is very high quality, to spec, no corner cutting. 2) He manages his subs well and gets the best subs. We've worked with other contractors and heard nightmare stories about contractors who can't manage their subs; that is a terrible experience. Mike's subs are on time, show up when expected, polite and professional, high quality, reliable. 3) The work gets finished on time. He plans every detail to the hour and (unless you increase the project scope) your job will finish when he says it will. 4) He handles all the details. He handles all the details like permit pulling and getting all the necessary professionals for your job. I've heard from some general contractors that told me I'd need to hire my own structural engineer - what? That's why we hire a general - to pull in all the needed subcontractors. I'm so happy with both big projects he's done for us. Most recently, this year, he totally ripped out and updated our smaller closed in kitchen. He knocked down a wall to open a previously cramped kitchen up and put in a slider to the outside. All K&T wiring was replaced, plumbing re-routed. It was a big job and we are so happy with it! read more

Cacci Construction - After (top) and before (bot) images of our kitchen remodel in Aug '17. Photos taken from same vantage point. Totally opened the kitchen up! - General Contractors Near Me - San Carlos, California

I don't know about the quality of their work. I'm only writing for the quality of customer service. I called to request for a bathroom remodel. I spoke with Mike and basically his attitude is arrogant. Unless your bathroom budget is upward of $50k, don't even bother to call. They are not interested. He wasted my time as well. Thanks! read more

We've used Mike Cacci for two significant interior remodel projects 10 years apart -- first a bedroom/bathroom, and then a bathroom/living room. Both times, we were completely satisfied. He wasn't the lowest bid, but a friend of ours who was one of his subcontractors told us we wouldn't go wrong choosing him, and we're glad we did. Mike is obsessive about keeping to schedule, and you can tell that his subs respect him and want to work on his projects because their time is never wasted waiting for earlier steps to be finished. Our experience has been that he is obsessive about keeping his word to his homeowners and subs, and it shows in the finished product. One tip for working with Mike is that he's loath to give personal opinions about your design choices, so you have to know what you want. But once you make your choices, he'll build it to a very fine quality. read more

Mike, along with all the folks and/or subcontractors he works with, is a professional who makes things happen. He runs a well oiled organization that produces quality construction on a time-line that is always either met or beat! In fact, scheduling is something that Mike takes pride in maintaining - punctually! We completed a planned, massive interior/exterior remodel during a scheduled period over 2007-09. This was a complete overhaul. As our three phases unfolded, each time we finished at least 3 days earlier than projected. On top of that, we couldn't be happier with the end result. Why am I writing this review in 2018, you might ask? I felt it necessary to point out that above and beyond completion of our project in May of 2009, Mike has quickly followed up with all issues that arose (not that there were many), and continues to provide guidance and expertise in any/all "tweaks" and maintenance projects that we've created though the years. Going forward, we will continue to work with Mike and highly recommend to anyone in need of a general contractor. Simply stated, Cacci Construction is awesome! read more

Home renovation is not as easy as it looks like it is on popular tv shows, and finding the right contractor to trust is even harder. Thankfully my wife found Cacci Construction via Yelp, and once we met Mike for a walkthrough our fears subsided. Mike's attentiveness to detail from coordinating the kitchen cabinet layout with our supplier, walkthrough with all of his subcontractors, to mapping out a detailed project timeline gave us confidence in the quality of his work. He was always responsive via phone call or email, and you never felt neglected as a client. We originally were only planning to renovate our kitchen, but eventually formally converted our garage to an office and updated our living room because we trusted the quality of work that Mike and his team showed. read more

My expecting wife and I recently purchased our first house and needed a contractor to do some remodeling. Our simple renovation unexpectedly turned into a bigger job and I can't imagine getting through it without Mike's expertise. Overall, Mike is top notch, reliable, transparent, responsive, hard-working and performs exceptional work. We found Mike via Yelp and we were impressed from this first moment we met him. We had other contractors come by, but Mike was more organized and knowledgable than the others. Our renovation turned into a classic episode you would see on HGTV where unexpected issues popup up during the process. Needless to say, I was so thankful that Mike was our contractor. He walked us through all the issues and was totally professional in getting things done right. He doesn't cut corners and I trust his workmanship completely... very important since we are starting a family in our new house. I now have peace of mind. I echo the comments about his subcontractors as well. They all respect him and Mike can really get things done. He was able to pull some strings and get his concrete guys to level my floors within a few days after they initially said they were booked up for 3 weeks! The most amazing thing is despite the extra work to our house he was still able to stay on our tight schedule and get everything done on time. My favorite example of the type of contractor Mike is has to do with our doors. Our new place had non-matching doors/trim for every room. Also, after our new floors the bottom of the doors were different heights. The non-uniformity and quality really bugged Mike and after some convincing we replaced all the doors. He was right and the new doors look amazing and really make a difference in the house. Oh, did I mention that my wife wanted all the doors in before our housewarming party so Mike rearranged his schedule to get them done in 1 day! I have numerous more examples of times when Mike's recommendations were spot on. He knows what is important and what is not and I learned to trust his recommendations. As a newbie to remodeling and hiring contractors I feel like we really got lucky finding Mike. We really needed someone who knew what they were doing and could guide us through the process. It was a great experience working with Mike and I have been recommending him to everyone I know. Also, please feel free to message me for additional questions or pictures! read more

Simply put, Cacci Construction is as solid as it gets. I was introduced to Mike Cacci by my realtor, Raziel Ungar, after we purchased our home in Burlingame and I was immediately impressed with his transparent approach, straight-forward demeanor, and successful track record. In fact, before we gave them the final go ahead, we visited with a past client to hear about their experience and to see the quality of work. Sold. While we initially engaged Cacci to remodel the interior of our new home, not including the master bath, the scope of work began to steadily increase -- no surprise, right? Once the demo was on its way, my wife and I decided to stretch the budget and just go ahead with the master bath remodel so we wouldn't have to deal with the dust and disruption at a later date after we moved into the home. We also relocated our patio door, installed sliding doors, and new window framing. Yet, despite these additions, Cacci got the entire job done on-time... and it was even a day early. Amazing. The initial walk-through was also a memorable experience. Mike had each vendor arrive at the house in 15-minute increments and they were all on-time, professional, and it was clear that each deeply valued their relationship with Cacci. While we primarily used Cacci's preferred vendors for our job, my wife and I did ask to use a vendor that we had used in a past renovation. Mike was not only flexible enough to allow for this, but he went out of his way to meet them at the house and he also worked extremely well with them. His team, which included Jason and Steve, were extremely skilled, professional, and detail-oriented. They maintained an on-site port-o-potty and thoroughly cleaned-up at the end of each day. In fact, the house was so tidy throughout the renovation that my new neighbors kept asking me how they were able to do so much yet leave so little trash behind. So, in essence, their cleanliness helped me get off on the right foot with my new neighbors. Lastly, a few months after the remodel was complete, we had a defective shower fan light and Mike had the electrician return to repair it and eventually replace it. They also took care of several other "punchlist" items without delay or additional cost. In sum, while you may find cheaper options, you will not find better value for your hard-earned money. High quality work and tremendous attention to detail. read more

I want to echo the reviews from everyone else. Mike did a large remodel to our home in San Carlos a few years ago, and is now back building a new bathroom and master suite. His work is top quality. There are no hidden fees. He gives you a contract cost at the beginning and he sticks to it. He provides a schedule day by day and is able to stay right on track. In terms of cost, I think there is a premium compared to the competition. However, we have worked with several contractors over the years at various properties, and he is by far the *BEST* of the lot, by a long shot. Given the quality of work and attention to detail, I think the extra cost is more than worth it. To give you an example, we had a small problem with a fireplace he built for us a few years back. It had nothing to do with his workmanship, but rather with an electronic component of the starter. Nonetheless, he had someone come and fix the unit within a few days (and this was more than 2 years after they finished the fireplace). Basically, he takes pride in and guarantees his work, period. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. And here, you are getting the best. If you are at all on the fence about working with him, let me save you the time. You should absolutely do it. read more

He came by to find out about our project. It's clear that he's organized and knows what he's doing. He was polite and professional. Looked like lots of transparency in his process. My guess is that he has enough work to choose which projects he does. There is a price premium, but in return my sense is you get a very reliable project. Also as a part of his standard process they have a honey-bucket put in for the workers to use--this turned out to be an awesome idea that I put into play when my reno was done by a different company. Worth every penny. In any case, my timing was bad because a week after he came by, he sent me an email that he had landed a rather large job that will be eating up all of his manpower for the forseeable future. I was able to find another contractor and get my project done so it turned out fine. A dilemma I see for businesses, especially contractors, is that there isn't a way to opt out of Yelp, especially if you don't particularly want Yelp as a source of referrals. In addition, I can see that it's disappointing to a potential customer if a contractor says "actually, your project isn't the kind that I'm good at / interested in." and the dilemma if a potential customer calls and are difficult. Hiring a contractor is just another type of battle for talent. read more

Cacci Construction did a full remodel of our new home and we are incredibly pleased with the final result. The project included new flooring, moving walls to create a more open floor plan, full kitchen remodel, master closet, new staircase, and so many details in between. Mike has impeccable attention to detail. He visited the job site frequently and fixed things before we even noticed them. He recommended details that make the quality of our home shine. And the best part - he was right on the mark with the completion date for us to move in. We have worked with other contractors that go over budget, over time, and working with Mike was so refreshing because he followed through on every promise he made. read more

We have relied on Cacci Construction for several remodel projects over the last 15+ years and couldn't be happier with the results. Mike is thorough in his cost estimates and timeline and we always know where the project stands. When we've encountered unforeseen problems during the job, he is quick to bring to our attention and offer solutions. His team and subcontractors are top notch and do quality work. We plan to use him for future projects and are happy to give him the 5 stars that he and his team deserve! read more

We hired Cacci Construction to do an addition to our kitchen and dining room, as well as updates in our family room and home office. Mike and everyone on his team were incredibly professional and courteous and cleaned up every day as we were living there through the remodel. They worked well with my interior designer and were able to accommodate her input. The quality of the work was exceptional and we have had no issues in the year since the project was completed. We get tons of compliments on our new kitchen. The best part was he gave us a detailed schedule by week at the beginning of the project and stuck to the schedule, ending on the exact date he said he would, even with some county permit issue delays due to no fault of his. I have never heard of this happening from anyone else we know who has lived through construction so we are very grateful. We highly recommend Cacci Construction and would use them again for future projects. read more

Cacci Construction built our 4000+ sq foot home from the ground up. Mike came to us by reputation as one of the top builders in the area, but it wasn't until we worked with him that we understood what that meant in practice. Here's what you get with Cacci Construction: - Access to the very best subs that deliver top notch work. - Highest attention to detail. Period. - Adherence to a schedule that is literally a day by day/week by week plan of how and when the work will be completed. - Generally speaking, adherence to a budget. Cacci construction is on the high end of the spectrum in terms of cost, but he delivers a better quality product. Mike presented us with a detailed budget that was the real deal across the subs with whom he contracted. - A willingness to work the problems in order to deliver a great product and ensure that the aesthetic achieved is what we wanted. - A complete straight shooter. What you see is what you get with Mike. He says it like it is and is very upfront with what he can and can't deliver. - His team is a dream. Unbelievably professional, knowledgable, and just genuinely nice. They work together as a team where there's tremendous trust. That says a lot and it means a smoother process overall. In general, you get what you pay for, and Cacci Construction is worth every penny. If you're looking for quality craftsmanship and want to work with the best, look no further. read more

Bottom line: You pay more for a professional, high quality job. Mike impressed me on day 1 of the project by having all of his subcontractors come for a walkthrough - and the owner of each of those companies came personally to look at the job and meet me. Mike drove the project to complete on schedule despite me adding some scope. Everything was done perfectly and all of the contractors involved were very, very kind people. I'd use him again in a heartbeat. read more

We originally hired Mike to renovate/rebuild our old 1950's pink bathroom. Once we realized just how many different contractors would be in our house to work on the bathroom (electrician, plumber, drywall, etc) we worked with Mike to take that opportunity and get other areas of the house fixed. Much of the house had not been touched since it was built in 1954 and it was also a rental for the last 10 years. We considered trying to get all the work done on our own, working with different contractors, scheduling them ourselves, but I am so thankful for the person that recommended Mike to us. From the first time we met at the house, I knew he was the most organized, knowledgable and would make sure everything got done. I had met a few other contractors, but none of them imparted the sense of confidence I got from him. And he assured us that his team was the best at what they do. Mike put together a tight schedule and his team kept to it. Every room of the house had some sort of work done, except the kitchen. Construction went on from August through October of this year. We encountered many problems along the way like once the walls of the bathroom were exposed we found 2 walls that were completely termite damaged to the point of having to be rebuilt. Mike's and his team's knowledge and skills were such an asset in fixing the problems they found during this project. We ended up going way beyond our original budget, but we felt good about every decision made. Every person that came into the house was friendly, courteous and really did a great job at whatever they were there to do. We are extremely happy with everything that was done and wish that we could have done more, but will have to wait until we save up more funds. It feels like we have a completely new house and not just a new bathroom. read more

Wow! Mike Cacci actually HUNG UP on me when I called him to get a quote. And his tone couldn't have been more hostile. Glad to have never entered into business with him. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH MIKE CACCI. read more

I fist learned of Cacci Construction when I lived in Belmont several years ago. Every day on my way to and from work I'd pass a beautiful home that was being built from the ground up. I was impressed at how quickly and seamlessly the project seemed to be moving (especially compared to other nearby projects that were limping along) and made note of the company name on the sign in front. I thought that if I ever needed work done, I was going to call Cacci Construction. Fast forward and we have now used Mike and his crew for two major phases of renovation on our home and know the quality of work they deliver is top-notch. I'm very picky and detailed and the Cacci team was very patient with me, answered my endless questions, and guided us where needed. Their attention to detail results in beautiful craftsmanship and quality construction. We highly recommend Cacci Construction for any size or type of job. read more

We hired Cacci construction for a project recently to construct a wall with shelving, cabinets, gas fireplace and tv. His team is phenomenal and the attention to detail/ability to stick to the timeline is what sets them apart from the rest. We are really happy with the finished project and would hire them again for future projects. They definitely aren't the cheapest out there, but well worth a little bit extra to ensure that you have peace of mind that you will have a finished project you will be happy with and an end date they are sure to meet. Thank you Mike and team for your work. We will enjoy it for years to come! read more

We worked with Mike one year ago to remodel our second floor and doing other minor work at our house and simply best choice ever !

Mike has done several construction projects for us over the years - a kitchen renovation, repairs after a giant rainstorm, and now upgrades to heating, lighting, and laundry. We could not be happier, especially given the conditions of covid. His guys always had masks, had to sign in each time they were here, and were extremely considerate of us. His subs are all great. We had no problems with scheduling any of the work, once he got the green light to go ahead after having to shut down for a month during the early months of covid. I have nothing but good things to say about Mike and his crew. read more

We hired Cacci Construction for a kitchen remodel and ended up touching the whole house with changes b/c his company was so great. Everything was done on time, per the agreed schedule. All his subcontractors are people that he always works with, so no surprises of who is showing up to your house. Everyone is professional, talented and I cannot recommend Mike and his business enough! We love, love, love our Cacci Construction home. read more

Mike Cacci gets things done. He's highly organized with his schedule, is up front about his billing rates, and can come up with creative solutions to maximize layout of needed space. Once we decided to hire Cacci Construction, he scheduled what he called a "job walk" for his subcontractors who wanted to see the project and bid on it. He kept the schedule in 15-minute increments with one contractor coming and going at their designated time. I called every single one of his references and they all had positive things to say - and the one comment that stood out for us was "he finished on time and on budget". We hired Mike to remodel our kitchen and open up the space this year (2017). We ended up with practically a new house. As walls started coming down - there were problems to fix and the scope of our job grew and grew. But we were always in the loop and we knew what we were getting into with Mike. He took care of the building permits and scheduled all inspections ahead of time according to schedule. Since we moved out of our house during the remodel, it was nice knowing that everything was being done properly, inspected and up code. It was a pleasure meeting his subs on the job. Everyone was very patient, professional, and courteous. They kept things tidy and organized. Was it expensive? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. We are very happy with the end result. We love our kitchen! We also ended up replacing the flooring throughout the house, replaced all the windows to double-pane, replaced all the interior doors and added some, enlarged closet space, and vaulted the ceiling in the living room. The house was completely painted inside and out. The other things we upgraded are things you cannot see - but we never have to worry about it again. We have HVAC - with central heat, LED recessed lighting, a new electrical panel to handle our electric car plug-in and brought all of our electrical up to code. And the biggest shock was - the plumbing. We ended up having to replace our pipes - to the city sewage line and all is good. It was a job well done and we would hire Mike Cacci again for our Phase 2 project! read more

Mike is very professional. He called me to let me know that he is booked for the next 3 months, which not many contractors call to let prospective customers know that. read more

Mike Cacci rebuilt our master bathroom. The quality is first rate. It looks really good, too. The project had the normal schedule problems, and he still finished on time. The bathroom has 6 months of use now, and everything is still perfect. The price was high, but he was the only contractor who gave us a serious bid at the level of quality we wanted, so I'm not sure how high. I agree with the reviewer about asking for Mike's tile subcontractor Nixon. The tile work was really well done. The painter and plumber subs were good, too. read more

We hired Cacci Construction to finish out our garage, turn an exterior window into a sliding door, as well as other interior upgrades. Mike provided a clear timeline from day one and maintained excellent communication throughout the project. His team of subcontractors are the best. We are very happy with the quality of the work and would recommend Cacci Construciton to anyone looking to remodel. read more

Our satisfaction with Mike's service stamped from almost date one: We bought a rental property in San Mateo in 2013. The upgrades were so over due. When all the tenants moved out last year, we decided to completely renovate it. Based on Yelp ratings we invited 5 contractors to bid for the project. Mike Cacci was one of them. We scheduled time with each contractor, who would bring along the sub-contractors, to visit the property and to submit the bid. One came alone and give me a bid at the scene after a quick walk-through. Two of them each brought 3-4 subs to evaluate the job. The 4th one came with an army of subs and, when I opened the doors, they scattered into the property to do their respective parts of assessment. And then they came back with questions to me, several at a time, overwhelming to try and figure to whom to answer! Mike Cacci, on the other hand, was extremely organized and orderly. A week before the visit he sent an email to his subs for their respective windows to come. During the visit, Mike and I walked through the property and discussed some possible options for the renovation, with one sub at a time. At the end of the visit Mike even clarified that his bid would be bare-bone, any changed order would likely cost extra. After that visit we almost had our minds made up. Eventually we awarded the project to Mike, even though his bid was not the lowest, it was competitive (in fact all 5 were quite close). That decision turned out to be a great one. Cacci Construction did a great job on every front of the project. Mike was on top of everything at any time, and he made sure the smooth flow of work throughout the scheduled construction period. His subs respect him and listen to him. His blunt and yet charming personality gets through some of the difficult city inspectors. We were comfortable enough to often ask him to make judgement calls on our behalf, and he never disappointed. And oh, the work my wife liked the most was his billing. At the end we had perhaps close to 200 changed orders and Mike kept track all the details and rarely made mistakes in his bills. The project was finished one week ahead of schedule. And we have been very pleased with Mike's work. If "very pleased" sounds vague and superficial, well, we rented out all 3 units of the property within 2 weeks after the finish of the construction, at top dollars, and the tenants have been very happy with their NEW home! I need to mention one last thing: Mike Cacci takes the quality of his work personal. Recently one of the units had an issue opening or closing the door. We emailed Mike and he came out the next day to fix it. During the fix he discovered painting at some invisible areas wasn't done properly. From my experience with contractors, most if not all would pretend to have not seen it. But Mike was obsess with the quality of his work. He called his painter back and have him redone all relevant areas. We much appreciate Mike's taking pride of the quality of his work. read more

Project Scope: complete gut remodel (1 level, ~2400 sf) Proposed Project Duration: 7 months Actual Project Duration: 7 months Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! We interviewed 5 contractors, narrowed down to three and asked for final bids. Mike Cacci was the only one who had all of his subcontractors come to the house all in one morning to take a look at the scope of work and provide their estimates. I was so impressed with the coordination and how well all of his subcontractors interacted with each other. My initial impression was that this was a tight group and have been working together for quite some time. Cacci had the only proposal that had cost breakdown with each of his subcontractors quotes (+30 pages). The quote was clear and transparent. This was also true during the invoicing process. I appreciated the consistency and transparency. Throughout the 7-month process, Cacci and the subcontractors treated our home like it was their own. Jason and the crew were out to the house almost everyday....which was confirmed by our neighbors. We enjoyed the entire process. I can honestly say I have no stereotypical horror story about our remodel. In fact, I kind of miss talking to the crew... Mike and Jason, now that our project is done and they are off to bigger and greater things. Mike asked us to live in the house for awhile and generate a punch list. We did and his guys responded so quickly! Thank you! Here are a few words to describe Cacci Construction: integrity, talented, honest, fun, on-time, on-budget, experts, high end quality, opinionated, respectful, responsible, pleasant, has best subcontractors, a little too OCD on symmetry but in a good way, attention to detail, totally awesome! read more
