Unreasonable prices. Was hit with a 40% price increase on a service that they've done before, the price increase wasn't authorized or run by me. I tried to resolve it amicably with them and all they did was threaten to charge more if I don't pay in a few days. read more

I am wowed by the concern, carefulness and speed of Cecil Construction. I have never worked with such a responsive contractor. Trent Cecil went out of his way to make sure that my project moved along swiftly and smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend Cecil Construction to anyone, and certainly wish more people had the concern and care that I've seen with this company. Thank you! read more

worst follow through for a contracting company I have experienced. Sorry but I have built several houses and business exhibition spaces and I have never encountered such poor customer service. They have on numerous times not keep appointments and a small job has disrupted our live space ( with 95 year old parent) you know how challenging that can be and 3 months we have waited to have some water damage repaired which has required that the security camera be taken away and the window uncovered. He fell one morning and no one could see... and due to there being no window coverings he experienced a MD / seizure episode honestly .. I am sorry to go on but I have been waiting for an hour and 1/2 this morning alone .. have to leave another job to meet them her and no show thus far. Of course if you call and complain you will be informed that " you are not their only customer" GREAT customer service. Oh no it's it's kinda getting worse worse I mean honestly add a star rating for three months now read more

An amazing, conscientious local contractor specializing in restoration and remediation. One of the best things is that they work directly with insurance and have 24/7 emergency service for storm, water, fire or mold. read more

Bummer-- based on the other reviews here I was expecting to have found a good local contractor crew. But that was not my experience. I had a leaking hot water heater and it caused water damage. They came out and pulled out the damaged material and put fans on it and did a decent job. We discussed coming back for a repair of the damaged areas. Never heard back from them. They didn't even send me a bill for the remediation. Finally about 4 months later I get an emailed invoice, no contact re: the repair. I spoke to someone there who assures me that their "bookkeeper" was fired and this is a result of that employee's ineptitude. Of course, they were unwilling to provide any incentive or discount to make it right. Instead, they were content with me just paying the prior bill and losing my business. Thought I was getting a reliable local construction crew-- but this ain't it folks. I'd look elsewhere, luckily we have a ton of options in the area. 2 stars because at least they came out and did the initial demo lol! read more

I have had two very positive experiences with Cecil Construction recently. They repaired some dry rotted joists underneath the house and replaced the walking surface, railings and joists of the wooden deck on the second floor of my sister's home in Grass Valley in November 2024. Then, just before Christmas, her insurance company told us she needed to have a non-flammable walking surface on her deck, so I called Cecil Construction and they replaced the new wood planking with polymer materials per the insurance company specifications. I was amazed at how quickly they were able to schedule and complete both jobs. They even took pictures for us to send to the insurance company to prove the work was done correctly. Jacqueline was always kind and considerate on the phone and in emails. The estimator, Trent, listened to my concerns and took care to make sure their work met the insurance company fire mitigation requirements. I was very pleased and highly recommend the company. read more

When a tree fell on our roof this winter, a neighbor recommended Cecil Construction for managing the tree itself, as well as preventing further damage to the house. We called Cecil Construction and they were on it immediately. It turned out that they had a wide array of capabilities to help us deal with our situation. Despite widespread tree-based emergencies like ours, throughout the county, their crews were responsive, efficient and effective. They managed several aspects of the incident, including interfacing with the insurance company, and other service contractors skillfully and directly. I can recommend Cecil Construction with confidence. read more

Mother Nature was not kind to our home this winter, and Cecil Construction came to our rescue and ensured our living room ceiling did not collapse the rest of the way in. Even though our insurance failed to follow its mission and value statement in caring for its customers, Cecil Construction rolled up and made a massive statement by showing what good business values look like and helped us. They care about their customers and work hard to relieve the stress home repairs can cause the homeowner. Services like that are rare. So Thank you for staying faithful, Cecil Construction. read more

When I contacted Cecil Construction to repair water damage in my kitchen, I did so because I had had a similar problem 3 years earlier that they were the contractors on. That was a really positive experience. I am not sure what has happened to Cecil Construction is these 3 years but the experience this time was a complete disaster. In reading this recent one star review Cecil Construction has, all I can say is DITTO! Additionally, having to talk to their office staff was repeatedly such a demeaning experience! I have never encountered such a blatantly rude office manager for no apparent reason. read more

We were recommended Cecil Construction after a tree fell through our house on December 26th, 2022. Initially, they were quick to start the job and seemed great. However, as the months went by, their quality of work and work ethic became questionable. They spent more time fixing the problems they created than actually working. We were displaced from our home for 416 days because they did not have a crew working on the house, despite the job being expected to take no more than 6 months. Even after moving back 7 months ago, there is still a punch list that has not been completed by them. Today, my son went to get a glass from an upper cabinet they installed and the cabinet came off the wall, hitting him in the head and causing us to lose all of our glassware. My son now has a concussion because they did not use the cabinet frame to secure it to the wall. They drilled it into the wall through the back of the cabinet. Upon inspecting all of the upper cabinets, we found that they are all hung incorrectly. We will be hiring another contractor to hang the cabinets and will be having our home reinspected. The entire 416 days have been a nightmare of similar stories, but this incident has caused actual harm, and we felt it was important to share our experience. read more

Highly recommend Cecil construction! They were professional, very responsive, and do quality work. Trent was amazing and really helped me out of a jam. Thank you Trent! read more

We had an awesome experience with Trent and the team at Cecil. Before we found them, we had a faulty dishwasher that caused a bunch of damage in our kitchen and a contractor who took off in the middle of the job. The Cecil team came in and worked to meet the deadline to get our kitchen fixed. They stayed in contact with us, were at our house when they said they would be and just were super friendly. I can't thank Cecil enough for putting my house back together before my sons birthday! read more

Cecil Construction - a kitchen with white cabinets and stainless steel appliances - General Contractors Near Me - Grass Valley, California

I neglected to attach a filter to my shop vac while cleaning out the fireplace, and spewed soot everywhere. I quickly became overwhelmed trying to clean my house and knew I needed to call in a professional. Jackie arrived within 30 minutes and did a fabulous job! Highly recommend. read more

We contracted with Cecil because of a recommendation from our pastor who knew Trent. Sadly, the promises made were not kept. We specifically asked if the job would be completed without interruption, to which we were assured it would take no longer than 5 to 6 days to replace our small deck and some siding. It took more than six weeks. It was explained to us that "emergency" jobs contracted out from insurance companies take precedence over regular contracted jobs. We had no access to our front door for several weeks which is not acceptable. The materials used were of poor quality and warped over the winter. Several slats had to be replaced. There were large gaps in the siding, leaving up to a half inch of space where we could completely see through to the other side. Instead of fixing it correctly, they just caulked over. As for the paint on the siding, they hired a person who did a terrible job of color matching, as the paint is at least two to three shades darker than the rest of the house. And while he was working, he had moments where he was shouting and cursing to someone, yet he was the only person working. This was a little frightening. The boards on the deck were coming loose after only a few months. The owner angrily came out and forced the deck screws in deeper leaving deep holes over the entire deck surface. Two years after the job was completed, the deck looks terrible and makes so much noise when you walk on it, you'd think it was 30 years old. Lastly, when the job was finished (but not completed because winter weather prevented staining), we got the bill which included the staining (We eventually stained the deck ourselves - twice). We asked for a correct bill which took several weeks. The owner made a snitty comment that we still had not paid our bill, yet we had contacted the bookkeeper several times for a correct bill. These are people we will never recommend. read more

Last month after that humungous storm........These guys were working across the street from our house, because our neighbors had their chimney blown off and sprung a leak in their roof. According to my neighbor, they did a good job fixing their roof.....and it just so happened that I needed to have an injured TV antenna to be moved to a safer place....its now strapped to our upper deck rail until its permanent silence in Feb 2009. Thanks to Trevor Cecil and crew, an antenna job that another company in the Yellow Pages quoted $200, only cost me $70. (I gave the boys a $15 tip, because they even took their shoes off when they needed to walk thru the upper floor of our carpeted house to reach the access deck). Anyway, the folks off Boole Rd. in Applegate---highly recommend Cecil Construction of Grass Valley, CA. If you're looking for a home remodeling contractor, or planning a room addition, this looks like one to consider in Grass Valley or Nevada county. read more

The storms of 2017 wrecked havoc on our home. We had water damage in our living room and two bathrooms, one being gutted. Both Robert and Trent Cecil were great to work with, and went beyond the call to get things repaired and back to normal. We will use them again if needed and have recommended them already to others. read more

These guys are amazing! We have had 4 leaks this year and each time I had Cecil Construction come out. They are so professional, polite and very knowledgeable. Every repair and redo was done in a timely fashion and worked with our schedule. We have had to use a few companies for clean up and repairs, Cecil Construction is the best by far. Others were always sloppy and didn't take the pride in their work as these guys do. Highly recommend them and I'm very very picky. Really good company they started for themselves. read more

We purchased a home last year where the previous owners had concealed 30 years of rot, mold and water damage. Basically the entire back wall our 2 story home had wet cardboard for support beams and studs. It was an overwhelming project and we needed a competent and experienced company that could safely as well as economically rebuild our home. Trent came out the same day I called his office and worked with my husband and I for 6 months planning and rebuilding our home. The project was not without some complications and frustrations, but what Cecil Construction was able to do for our home was nothing short of a miracle. They rebuilt it safer and stronger than it was originally, as well as figured out some projects that greatly improved the quality and value of our home. We are so thankful to have found Cecil Construction and would refer them to anyone dealing with a large water or fire disaster. read more

My house flooded last month . It was a huge mess. I was so lost with all the paperwork, insurance calls, and who was going to do what, when and how. It was crazy. The owner at Cecil Constuction called me personally and talked me through every detail. Offered friendly suggestion, gave me ALL my options even the ones that meant he wouldn't make any money. He was honest and fair all the way. Being a single mom/ widow he was patient and treated me like an intelligent human being. Not once did he talk down to me. I can not thank them enough for everything he did for me. He even called weeks later to see how things were going, offered advice and feedback and continued to let me know he would be available. CHEERS to Cecil Construction for being honest, kind, considerate and above all knowledgeable!!!! Will recommend them every time!! Mary LaRoche Lincoln Ca read more

Customer service is horrible. Called to ask for some reports and the lady answering the phone clearly did not want to help as she was very rude in her demeanor and kept making smart remarks like "I don't understand why you are calling us" . I was very disappointed and will not recommend anyone to this business. read more

Until today I have never written a review in my life. I felt it necessary to review Cecil Construction after receiving such horrible service and workmanship. To keep things short and sweet it took them over six months to complete the work that was supposed to only take "up to four weeks". In addition to their lengthy repair time they did not adhere to the job estimate created by AAA, instead I was told that they would not be replacing the broken fence as was quoted, they instead would just "piece it together". They STILL have not completed the opposite fence which was also part of the job and the AAA quote. This was a $4,000 job in which I was told by an employee that "they won't make money on". Not what you want to hear when someone is working on your home!!! They're unprofessional, the work is sloppy and subpar at best, they don't prioritize clients, they do they work on their time and the admin staff in their office is rude! read more
