Dan B.

NorCal rebuilt and expanded our rear deck. It was quite a project because the deck is 20 ft off the ground in places. The scaffolding alone was a masterwork. Their craftsmanship was excellent and they were easy and pleasant to work with. Their price was competitive. We bid this job around and were very pleased with our choice of Norcal.

DAN AND JAKE ARE THE BEST!!! We usually don't write reviews, but they definitely deserve one! We wanted to extend our deck to have a space for our girls to play on, but we were pretty indecisive on the color, material, and size to go with so we kept going back and forth on what we wanted. They were very understanding and knowledgeable on helping us make that decision. Our deck came out to be everything we wanted and much more. They are very meticulous with their work! Thank you Dan and Jake for not only making our deck look beautiful, but for going above and beyond for us!!! The girls are so excited with their new deck that they go on it every day to play!

Fascia mounted aluminum deck railing with stainless steel cables

Different year, different project, different crew working with Dan (Francisco and his son), same impeccable outcome. This time I needed a fence rebuilt against an existing retaining wall and Dan and his team once again came through. This was not a traditional fence build. The challenge was to build a plumb fence mounted to a concrete retaining wall that is angled into the hillside. Not to mention that it was situated at the top of a steep hill. I reached out to Dan on the off chance that he would take on a smaller project like this and thankfully the timing worked out to squeeze this in. Once Dan agreed to do the project I had zero doubt that it would be done right. As usual his communication was spot on, the work was started on schedule and finished in a timely manner, pricing was very reasonable, the work site was left clean and tidy each day, and the final product speaks for itself. If you want peace of mind knowing that your project is done right to the highest standards, search no further. Dan is the man!

Our pup enjoying the process. Will post completed pics soon

What everyone else has said is 100% accurate. It's hard to rate NorCal Craftsman without sounding hyperbolic, because they really are that great. Dan worked with us every step of the way, and helped us get the second story deck of our dreams. He worked thoughtfully and meticulously, but also very quickly. At the end of each day, everything that could be cleaned and tidied up, was. He is overall an honest, hard-working guy who felt like a friend by the end of the project. We can't recommend him more highly. We are thrilled with the final product, the attention to detail is obvious, and it was delivered on time and at estimated cost. Truly a Craftsman who takes pride in his work. Thanks Dan!

I can't say enough great things about Dan and his crew. My wife had designed the deck we wanted, and when getting estimates some of the other companies completely missed quoting out the design elements we wanted. Dan had a very thorough quote and clearly had spent time reviewing our plans to ensure he was giving us an accurate quote. I saw Dan every day of the project, he was either dropping by to check on the work or out there working himself (he even brought over his chainsaw to take down a small tree that was in the way of the new deck so that I didn't have to hand-saw it down). He and his crew are clearly very dedicated to providing the highest quality craftsmanship, and that shows in every aspect of our deck. They even sanded every single board smooth to ensure no snags or splinters were present! He even got a nicer grade of lumber for the posts and railing than what he quoted me because when he was at the lumber yard he didn't like the look of the grade he had spec'ed out - you won't find many contractors making that kind of call to ensure the quality of the materials is top-notch. Any time he or the crew had a question or design decision they ran it by us to make sure it was what we wanted, and they were very receptive to our suggestions and revisions along the way. I really can't express enough how pleased we are with how the project came out. I would highly recommend Dan and NorCal Craftsman.

Deck stained and ready for this weekends BBQ!

Being a Real Estate Broker and business owner of over 17 years, I've dealt with a ton of contractors. To find Dan's company was like hitting the lottery. Day 1 - Pressure washing my 18+ years deck and installation of Posts for gate Alex pressured washed the heck out of that deck. It looks better than brand new wood. It seems to actually sparkle. My deck had privacy cloth panels around it that had been stapled around the deck all which had been in place for 18+ years. Needless to say, the staples were rusty and very difficult to remove. I removed the privacy cloth panel and the staples remained. I figured they would pressure wash the deck and call it a day or inform me to remove the staples. While checking out the deck since it so beautiful, I noticed not a staple in sight. They took every staple, to my surprise! Both Alex and Dan did an exceptional clean up as well! (This is very important as I board dogs. They were very concerned about securing the yard since the gate was removed so the concrete for the gate posts could dry. Very detailed oriented bunch both in work and clean up. I always hate having to spend a lot of time cleaning up after a contractor has left for the day. Not a problem this time! Day 2 - Trex stairs installation started, Stair railings added and Gate erected ( I love my gate.) It is very sturdy and made with care! It's not completely finished but it feels so good to open. It is so level that it basically stays shut even without the hardware installed. A neighbors who likes to piggy back on using my good contractors liked it as well. Upon my arrival home my neighbor was seeking a bid to have his large dry rot deck repaired. Re: Stair railing and a few Trex stairs - I don't know how the prior contractor got away with installing stairs without sufficient side railing. A kid or 4-legged kid could have fallen out from the top. No longer as Alex did a magnificent job installing side railing. He angle cut several boards that lined up with the existing ones just perfectly. One of my tenants said to me the other day, it's only day one. Well it's day 2 and I feel the same. Day 3 - Trex stairs, Gate completed and Deck Staining - Trex stairs are coming along swimmingly. They only thing left are the risers to be secured in place. All cut and ready! Deck staining began today and is mostly done and looking good. Dan brought a helper today and his main job was the staining. Gate is complete and hardware is on. This gate is SOLID. It closes like a Mercedes door and you will want to open and close it a few times, or is that just me! The hardware Dan picked is both classy and very practical. Should I want extra security the hardware can be slid forward and a pad lock used so it can't be operated from inside or out. I swear it's like Dan and I are the same person. He is working and picking items without any input from me as if I was doing the job myself. Another great work day it seems and nothing for me to clean up. Thankfully! Possible finish tomorrow but Dan is not one to cut corner so he will keep me posted. I'm in no rush. Day 4 Deck staining / sheets of plywood installation - Everyone arrives early and ready to work. Dan and Alex have a 3rd person helping again. I noticed this guy (who I think is a different guy than yesterday) was able to help Alex with things he was working on. Deck staining continued/finished, sheets of ply-wood installed to reinforce fence from jumping dogs completed per contract. I decided to add an additional 2-3 sheets so this job will run 1 more day for that work and final clean up. Deck staining and stairs looks amazing. I couldn't be happier. Dan was able to seek out a thicker than normal Trex which is very heavy which allows me to save money since the thinner ones requires a 3rd center support for all the stairs. No other contractor who provided a bid even mentioned there were different thickness options. Dan, out of the box thinker. Day 5 Sheets of plywood installation finished / clean up (small add on fence repair) Things are winding down and just a few sheets of plywood left to erect and some clean up. Oh wait, the homeowner (me) has one more "small" request. Three is a sliver size of fence that is in need of repair. No, problem Alex says, he will rip the wood and make the repair. These guys are great. Dan is a great person, owner & leader and Alex is a great and very skilled person. They both go way above and beyond in their work and without hesitation I recommend them for any construction job you might have. I will definitely be reaching out to them for future work. Conclusion: Great with time management, very competitive pricing for the above and beyond service, fastidious, great listener and a contractor who doesn't leave nails, empty packages or water bottles about your property. I think this is just a first in so many years that I can't stop praising his work.

Dan and his crew just finished my deck today and all I can say is wow it came out beyond our expectations. It took 2 weeks to complete every night they cleaned the site and left everything nice and neat. Dan communicated every step of the process before doing the work and is very meticulous and detailed oriented. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a deck built.

Deck framed around tree

I asked Dan to reconfigure an existing 10-year old redwood deck that was being impacted by a rapidly growing redwood tree. He and Francesco did a great job. - In two days they had framed the deck around the tree, reused the existing lumber and balusters where possible, and matched the detail of the existing deck.

We were in the market to repaint our hundred-year-old Craftsman home, and to be honest, we were…read moreextremely cautious. About ten years ago, we had a very poor experience with a painter who used improper preparation materials and techniques that were not suitable for a home of this age and type of wood siding. We ended up stopping the project midway and settling for a basic paint job from someone else just to move on. This time, we wanted our home properly repaired and thoughtfully restored. After watching a neighbor's home be beautifully prepped and painted by Level Five Painting, we were genuinely impressed and decided to reach out. The owner, Juan, came out for a walk-through and quote. He was gracious, knowledgeable, and patient with all of our questions. We immediately felt we could trust him and didn't feel the need to get other quotes. Our home was assigned to the project manager, Ivan, along with Juan and Daniel, who handled the preparation and painting. They spent about three weeks -- Monday through Saturday; meticulously sanding, repairing, priming, and painting. We were blown away by Juan and Daniel's work ethic. They worked incredibly hard, stayed focused, and treated our home and property with the utmost respect. Every day, they left the worksite clean, organized, and well cared for. Ivan was wonderful to work with as he was responsive, communicative, and present throughout the project. He checked in frequently, answered our questions quickly, and made sure everything stayed on track. What truly set this team apart was their deep knowledge of their craft and the pride they take in their work. Their level of professionalism, skill, and work ethic is something that, sadly, feels increasingly rare these days. It was refreshing to work with a team that genuinely cares about doing things the right way. The final result exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did they revive our Craftsman home, but they also corrected many of the issues left behind from prior poor workmanship. Our home now looks refreshed, cohesive, and truly ready for its next chapter. Because of the quality of their work and the trust they earned, we've already booked Level Five Painting for our next project -- preparing and staining the interior wood trim throughout our home. We highly, highly recommend Level Five Painting.

Never knew about life time warranty until last month, one of the window cracked. We didn't have any receipt or anything, just an email we did 14 years ago. We just contacted the company on their website and amazingly, they have the record by the address. The service department was so helpful, they contacted us and contacted the manufacturer to set up appointment with the case number to get it replaced. The windows were replaced 14 years ago in one day and we had many custom sized windows. The amazing thing is they know exactly which window that cracked by us describing the location of the window. Anlin Delmar (Milgard) called us and setup the appointment. They came and replaced the windows in a few hours. It was amazing and we're extremely happy. Now we know, go with the best and reputable company like Custom Exteriors and a good manufacturer like Anlin Delmar to have after service years after the work is done. Would we recommend Custom Exteriors and Anlin Delmar? The answer is obvious, YES.

He did offer to send someone to fix the mess his company left behind. Unfortunately, his crew left stained finger prints in the wood in addition to staining the windows in a totally different stain shade than the one I requested. As I have no confidence in his company's abilities, he offered to cover the cost. I DECLINED HIS OFFER. This company knew all along what was happening in my home. I sent pictures, I begged for a REASONABLE detailed quote, I was willing to pay extra for something that should have been included in my quote. NO RESPONSE NO RESOLUTION. Until this review this company did not care. I keep the 1 star review and my integrity as I cannot reconcile all the 5 stars with the horrific work and customer service I received.

He is one of the most honest and quality-focused contractors I have ever worked with. During planning, I spoke to a number of other contractors who wanted to use retrofit windows and just leave the siding in place. Alan took the time to explain the proper way that the building wrap, siding and windows had to interface to get waterproofing, and how we were better off replacing all three if we wanted to be sure we'd fix our problem. Even with this extra scope, Alan's pricing was very fair. Thank god we went with Alan. When they removed the existing siding, they found severe water damage underneath the siding and a subpar earlier repair job. When this surprise came up, Alan talked us through the damage and gave us our options. They ended up ripping up two layers of existing siding, cutting out damaged building sheathing and replacing it with new plywood, before proceeding with the job. The overrun costs were very reasonable and we never felt like Alan was taking advantage of us. The end result was great quality at a fair price, and peace of mind that our issues have been resolved and we won't have to worry about the front / roof for a long time now. I would definitely hire Alan again and would recommend him to anyone looking for this kind of work.
