Project 2: Replace cap on patio wall.
Frank H.

I hired Chuck last fall to work on two projects that were too big for most handyman services but too small to be of any interest to general contractors in town. Chuck and team did an excellent job on both projects and I am completely satisfied with the results. The first project was replacing a dozen or so boards of vertical cedar siding that showed signs of dry rot. Chuck and I agreed that I would source the boards from Big Creek Lumber - custom milled since this kind of siding is no longer made. Then Chuck and team did an outstanding job of removing the rotted boards and installing the new boards. The second project was to completely replace the wood cap on the stucco wall surrounding my front porch. Again, I sourced the lumber. Chuck had it planed to shape (slight ridged slope for water drainage) and then installed on the wall together with new finish trim. It was not an easy installation and Chuck and team did a GREAT job. It looks as good as the original and, more importantly, they carefully fitted and sealed the corner junctions - which will prevent the wood rot that destroyed the original cap after just 10 years. The cost of these two projects was quite reasonable. Chuck charges by the labor hour. And Chuck and his team worked as quickly and as efficiently as one could expect. I would definitely hire Chuck again to work on projects, big and small, on my house.

Side gate and fence he did (lattice added later).
Heather M.

We used Chuck to create and build us two exterior gates. I had some pictures of what I liked, they weren't exactly basic, as I wanted curved tops and a little window in one of them. Chuck did a beautiful job creating and installing them. And when we had a slight issue during our first wet season he came out and fixed it, no problem. Chuck also rebuilt a fence between us and our neighbors. He had a good idea on how to save some money in materials by reusing a few good boards and orienting it so that the boards didn't overlap, but both sides had a finished looking fence. His crew was very professional and it went up quickly. Prices were reasonable and in line with other quotes.

Walk-in shower with bench, new plumbing, tile surround, marble floor. New vanity, mirror, door and lighting not in the picture.

We used Chuck's Construction to remodel two bathrooms sequentially in our home. Both jobs involved water damage repair, fixing/moving plumbing, etc. The build was to a high standard with new vanities, beautiful marble bath surround, shower, floor and counters. Lots of details to work through between the various trades, all of whom were easy to work with and had been on Chuck's team for a long time. The overall project was done professionally, competitively priced and well-managed.

a bathroom with a sink and toilet

Mid to late last year when we purchased our home we knew we wanted someone with a "can do" attitude to help us remodel our previously carpeted (blegh) 2.5 bathrooms. Chuck was eager and willing to get started right away with our project tearing it all down to the studs and starting over. While we had a pretty specific vision for design, his team was knowledgeable and gave great advice on some pretty tough and strange instances where the usual would not work. We are very happy with the finished result and while major renovation on a home during a pandemic is never a "fun" experience Chuck was excellent to work with and made it relatively easy. Chuck also helped us with some light demo work and electrical and matching cabinetry work in our kitchen which turned out exactly how we wanted and imagined. Thank you Chuck!

Before old stone fireplace.

Chuck did a great job in transforming our old fireplace in a modern center piece of the house. He was very responsive to our needs, he completed the project timely and his price was fair. We are very proud of our new fireplace and custom mounted tv, we were very happy with his work.

The curtain rod he installed....

Very disappointed with his work. I had a large mirror that I wanted to be placed at a specific spot on a wall. He had to redo it three times and still did not do it right. First time it was too low, second time the fixture was visible behind the mirror. He also completely ruined the wall while placing curtain rods. Even though he promised to come back and paint it over, he never showed up. I texted him about it weeks later and he asked to pay for the paint! Stay away.

Installed wine fridge in wall.

From start to finish, the entire team was reliable, on time, and within budget--something truly rare in construction. The management team, Jeff, Vitt and Justin, were fantastic partners throughout the process. Their architect, Valerie took all of our ideas and turned them into a design that exceeded our expectations, creating the dream home we hoped for. They guided us through key decisions, from fixtures to finishes, and connected us with excellent local suppliers like Mission Tiles in Soquel. They utilized Oxford Cabinets, who created an amazing custom kitchen and dry bar for us that perfectly complements our open-plan dining, kitchen, and living area. Their craftsmanship truly elevated the space. We couldn't be happier with the final result and highly recommend this team to anyone considering a custom home.

Jeff visited us for a sunroom project, he said he could do it but he recommended instead another company that specializes in sunrooms and would be much cheaper. A few months later, when we decided to remodel our master bathroom, we called Jeff because he had earned our trust. Everyone delivered stellar service and top quality work and on time! Justin, the foreman is as precise as a Swiss clock. He kept me informed about everything without me worrying about anything. If I texted him a question, he would respond immediately. Vit is a genius, he can walk around and juggle the numbers in his sleep, he made some awesome recommendations when we were not sure, he is incredibly knowledgeable. Jose is strong enough to demolish your bathroom, but he can build a beautiful new one and always with a smile. Chris is quiet but he is obsessed with precision and let me tell you, that is ok with me. Raoul is the Da Vinci of the group, he does the electrical, the plumbing and can tackle anything, his talent is impressive. All the subcontractors were polite, on time, respectful and efficient, this is why you pay Costa Bella to do the work, they provide top notch workers and they deliver! I can't believe what I am about to say: They were all like family and they will be missed!

If you have a foundation crack, save yourself the time and trouble and call Avalon Structural first. I got multiple estimates for my fairly extensive ~23' horizontal crack. I found there are three types of companies. The first type will do the minimum to chip out the rusted rebar, throw some fresh rebar in there, patch it up with a "band-aid", and charge you handsomely for a quick in-and-out job. The second will glance at your foundation and immediately tell you it has to be replaced, for an even more handsome price, of course. And then there is Avalon Structural. They will perform a comprehensive and highly structurally sound repair, removing all compromised material, charge a fair price, and stand behind their work with a strong warranty. If you visit their website, read the articles, and watch the videos explaining the right and wrong ways to perform foundation repairs, you will be well-equipped to choose the right company for your foundation job. Or, you can save the time and just call them. We couldn't be happier with our repair. The foundation looks great and feathers in perfectly with the undamaged foundation sections. The repair team was amazing and extremely respectful of our property. The city inspector signed off with zero issues, which speaks volumes about the quality of their work. A big thank you to Roger, MJ, and the entire Avalon Structural team!

Knowledgeable team, but very poor communication experience…read more The response I received was dismissive, overly aggressive, and unprofessional. Instead of explaining their approach constructively, they criticized other bids and ended the conversation abruptly. I'd recommend getting multiple opinions and relying on an independent structural engineer rather than taking any one contractor's claims at face value.

We want to stay in this home until carried out "feet first". We searched for a local construction team that had knowledge and experience in ADA guidelines, as well as a track record for good design and customer service. The team needed to have a designer with these attributes, as well. In the past I had overseen the remodel of a bath, choosing and scheduling contractors myself. I did not want to do that again! Talmadge was an easy choice. Jeremiah Trask was our project manager and a delight to work with. Our designer, Kristen Totah, was the best (and I used to manage a design studio). She asked the right questions, and nailed it. Everything she brought for approval was perfect, and just as I requested. Jeremiah kept the subcontractors flowing on schedule. We hit one snag with a defective plumbing part that took a while to diagnose and even longer for the manufacturer to admit to it and send a replacement, but Jeremiah and the supplier kept at it until it was resolved. The bathroom now has multiple, attractive grab bars (I requested that even the towel bars be ADA grab bars), a large shower rather than a tub/shower, a custom vanity and new low-flow toilet. You can find a less expensive contractor, but not a better one. You get what you pay for.

The first was to rescue us from a half-finished bathroom remodel where the original contractor abandoned the project half way through. We could find no other contractor that would touch the project, because you never know the quality of the work already done, and you are kind of assuming responsibility for it. Joe stepped in, fixed some things the previous contractor had screwed up, and finished the bathroom just in time for us to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family visiting. The second time was similar. We had a water line break and it damaged the entire bathroom in the master bedroom. We were displaced from our bedroom and the house was hazardous. Joe was already booked with other projects, but was able to rearrange some of his staff and was able to start fixing the house that very day. Three weeks later, we had a beautiful bathroom. We hadn't anticipated doing another bathroom remodel, and certainly hadn't budgeted for it. Joe's price was very fair, considering the emergency nature of the project and the fact that he had to have people on overtime to help complete the job. I highly recommend JM Construction. They are life savers.
