This review is long overdue. Michael and his team, including Max and Alberto and the rest of the…read morecrew, were wonderful and easy to work with. We first hired Artifex for our home renovation which included new kitchen, two new baths, new windows and sliders, refinishing existing hardwood floors, insulation throughout, new electrical, and interior and exterior paint. We even removed a wall and installed new support beams. The work was completed in 4 months and that included a pandemic related delay. The entire team is highly skilled and professional. They offer smart suggestions and good alternatives. And I can't say enough about the quality of their finish work - tile and carpentry. We hired Artifex again for our deck and railing replacement project and experienced the same level of professionalism. We would definitely hire them again for any future projects....That is, if they can fit us in :-)

We hired Mike and his team to completely gut and redo our kitchen, master bath, and master bedroom…read more In addition, we asked for a face lift on the guest bath and new hardwoods throughout the house. There literally wasn't a room in the house that we didn't touch. We originally got 4 quotes on the job and Mike's quote was in the middle range but it was the most complete quote, and he also spent a lot of time even before we signed the contract answering our questions and walking us through each line item. For two people who had never gone through a major renovation before this was incredibly helpful. He originally told us it would take 3 - 4 months to complete the job and everyone who we talked to, who had been through a renovation, told us to expect at least double that. True to his word, Mike and his team completed the work in under 4 months and this was after we were delayed by two weeks when they had to fix shotty work that had been done before we moved in. In addition Mike was very conscious of our budget. He helped us pick cost efficient products and often helped us located less expensive alternatives when he knew of a good option. On the other hand, he and his team are very committed to high quality work and would also let us know if it was worth it to spend the extra money on certain items. If there were places where we could save money by doing the work ourselves, Mike worked with us to let us do that which was a huge plus for us. Throughout the process Mike and his head carpenter Luiz were responsive and did a great job of keeping the whole team on task. In addition, either Mike or Luis were on-site monitoring the work almost every day. This is not a company where you never see the general contractor. I also have to say they were both incredibly responsive to our calls and emails. We are both extremely detail oriented people and Mike took the time to answer all of our questions and he responded in a timely manner. The final product couldn't have turned out better. We have had people tell us that our house looks like it came out of a magazine. And, they are right...it turned out amazingly well, on-time, and within budget!! I would recommend Mike, Luiz, and the rest of the team to anyone.

Our patio is beautiful and the varied plantings that Dave selected/recommended are perfect for the space.

Highly recommend!

Early this year, we purchased a short-sale house and was looking for a general contractor to…read morecompletely renovate the house end to end so I could rent it out. We had interviewed several contractors and wanted to give up until we met Ben - I knew within a few minutes he was the right guy for the job. Ben and his team are professionals. The contract is one of the more detailed that I have seen, permits are taken care of for you, no hassles with the city inspections, crew showed up when they said they would be, work and material is above standard. Ben is also very good at design and paint colors. He offered a number of suggestions to make the house more modern and higher-end. I must admit, we got lucky when we met Ben as the final product is a wow. I would highly recommend Ben for your project needs!

We had an undetected water leak in a difficult to access area. By the time we became aware of it,…read morethe resulting dry rot had compromised a 14' structural beam, several floor joists and other wood elements. While not a huge job, it was challenging. I contacted Benjamin Construction and was impressed by their response in several ways. 1. Benjamin responded to my initial inquiry quickly. 2. Within a few days, Benjamin came by the house to look over the problem. The communication was good and he was quick to respond to questions. A contract soon followed. 3. The work commenced within a couple of weeks. It would have been sooner, but the unusually wet May and as the work was being approached from the exterior, we lost a week. (Work included the removal of part of a deck.) 4. Once started, the work progressed continuously and with good workmanship. When the inevitable unexpected arose, Benjamin identified alternatives so that we could manage the work scope. Benjamin also had to drive some distance to find a match for our 30+ year old siding. To complete the job by the target date, the carpenter worked extra hours and cleaned up the site well before leaving. Benjamin Construction met all my expectations on this project, good communications, good craftsmanship, overcoming unexpected obstacles, and going the extra mile to meet the schedule target. I especially appreciated the focused effort, even though it was not a huge project.

I was referred to Luis by a coworker and he was fantastic!…read more In the past 5 years, I've probably worked with a dozen contractors in the Bay Area, from GC, drywall, electricians, plumbers, tile, HVAC, and landscape (after having completed a down to the studs renovation in 2021). I would consider Luis in the top 10% of people I have ever worked with. Luis was easy to communicate with, showed up on time, clearly outlined the scope of work, and delivered exactly what was asked for and more, at a fair price! My water heater was EOL and developed a leak which damaged the plywood housing supporting it. Luis cut out the damaged part, cleaned all the mess out, reinforced the subfloor joists, and replaced it with new plywood. All of this in time so that the plumber could install a new water heater the same day. While he was here, I also asked him to make some small adjustments to my cabinets. One of my cabinet doors had broken off and I ordered new hinges but struggled to get it back on level. Luis made sure that 3 cabinet doors which were a little off-level were adjusted and tightened to open and close perfectly. He even noticed my front door had the same issue and proactively fixed that too. He did such a great job that my fiance wants to hire him to do a fence for us. 5/5 stars!

Wow, so many reasons to recommend Luis and his wonderful crew. 1. Lovely and kind workers with…read moreamazing integrity (i.e., take pride in the excellence of their work, stand by their work no matter what issues arise, go the extra mile every time). 2. Beautiful craftmanship (shoutouts to Rene's gorgeous tile work, Juan's perfect paint job). 3. Clear and thorough communication and coordination of the work by Luis. 4. Reliability - always arrive when they say they will. 5. Knowledgeable about all aspects of construction. Lastly, Luis was just great at listening to us, providing helpful ideas along the way, but understanding our vision for the bathroom remodel. And he is the most calm and mellow soul, perfect for the, at times, stressful work he does. Thank you Luis!

I highly recommend Aaron Jackson…read more My husband and I recently contacted Aaron for repairs on the exterior of our house. This included wood rot repair and painting of siding, and replacement of an elevated balcony located off the master bedroom. Aaron had done major renovations for us in the recent past including a new master bathroom, fireplace installation, garage and loft repair, and landscape work with an fence installation. As with previous experiences, Aaron and his team worked in a very professional manner with attention to detail. He is very reliable, and very easy to communicate with. Also, he makes sure the project is cleaned up as much as possible at the end of every day. The best!

All workmanship was excellent and we liked his painters so much, we had them repaint our kitchen too. We would absolutely use Diego again for any remodeling projects.
