    The channel drain at the bottom of the driveway.
    Mike J.

    Our home had some drainage/moisture issues so we had a French drain installed by Cardona Construction last week and I highly recommend them. They installed a French drain with a surface drain line on top, connected the downspouts, and installed a channel drain at the bottom of our driveway. They also installed a sump with a battery backup. I took bids on this project in July/Aug and Rene Cardona's bid was both competitive in cost, and included all of the elements we asked for (including a battery backup and city permits), which was not true of the other bids. Rene came out twice to explain their design and how the process would work. Once we accepted the bid, we were on the schedule for late October. In the meantime, Rene got the permit approved from the city. When it was time to start, Fernando (Rene's father) led the team of six to start the work. It took six work days for the team to complete the drain and their electrician set up the outlet for the sump pump and backup pump/battery on the 7th day. Fernando's team was efficient and cleaned up after each day. Once the work was done, Fernando explained how the system worked and how to properly maintain it. The project was efficiently done and between Rene and Fernando all of our questions were answered. Their work passed all city inspections and the inspector told me they did good work. We haven't had any heavy rains yet to test the new drain, but we're confident it will address our drainage issues. Again, we are grateful for the work Cardona Construction on our French drain and highly recommend them.

    I highly recommend Cardona Construction. We hired them to dig a French drain on the uphill side of our house. Rene visited several times and discussed my options in detail. Their bid price was very reasonable. The work proceeded quickly and smoothly, with no issues whatsoever (incredibly rare for a contractor project!) During the work, they were very proactive about asking questions about project details to make sure they were delivering what I wanted. The finished product was gorgeous; they took the time to make the pavers and backfill look nice and pretty. They also cleaned up the site thoroughly before they left. And last but not least, they were just about the friendliest construction team I've ever interacted with!

    No water entering the perimeter of the house!

    Under Promise, Over Deliver. I was really impressed with their overall process. Rene came out gave me an estimate in a timely manner, was able to slot us in for 2.5 days, but was able to finish the work in just over a day. They build 30 foot french drain into the street, excavated and built a sump pump. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat, but hoping not to have to!

    I hired Miguel to paint a small alcove in my San Francisco apartment (about 7 x 5 ft). After an…read moreinitial site visit and quote ($900), communication became very difficult--texts went unanswered and he even canceled once because he mixed up the job date. I had changed the color from white to a blue-green and texted him the exact flat and satin finishes. He confirmed twice that he had the correct paint, but on the day of service arrived with white instead. He then went to buy the right color, and his son and another worker did the painting. Unfortunately, the first job was poor: uneven coverage on each wall, holes and trim hooks left unpatched, light ceiling coverage, messy edges, and paint spots on the floor. They also didn't leave the paint cans behind. Miguel wasn't present, even at the end to look it all over. When I contacted him a few days later, he agreed to fix it and returned a week later with the crew. They repainted the whole alcove, and the result the second time was satisfactory. While I appreciate that he came back and corrected the work, the overall experience--miscommunication, bringing the wrong paint, poor initial workmanship, and the delay it caused--means I wouldn't hire this company again.

His team was courteous and effective, they used quality materials, state of the art procedures, and communication was great. He was flexible incorporating our change requests, provided a competitive estimate and stayed within the estimated costs (plus my added voluntary changes) and time frame. Highly recommend for your drainage needs! Update: a day after the work was finished, we had an atmospheric river. Unfortunately, it caused water entry in two of our rooms, which did not have water issues before. For part of the drain trench, the team overlooked that the foundation switched from crawl space to slab foundation and did not dig deep enough, backing the water right into two of our finished spaces. I reported the problem immediately and the team worked quickly to mitigate the issue by reworking the affected area under their warranty. I had to give feedback during the repairs to the team onsite that the foundation foil and protection was properly applied to the deeper level, instead of just lowering the trench on the bare concrete.
