I feel very fortunate to have had Brownstein Construction, a licensed contractor, do a remodel on…read moreour home. I met Clark at the permit office, in passing, while seeking a permit. He overheard me sharing my project, and introduced himself. From there, he had a simple and straight-forward bid process, showed up to meetings on time prepared, and is a very good communicator. He's friendly, fun to work with, and no-nonsense. More than anything, he cares to get everything right and safe. Through our months of work together he would listen to my ideas, always working with me to make my dream home. All of my questions were treated with respect, and nothing was left undone. His team was creative and positive as they navigated any unforeseen hiccups. Most of all, every member of the team showed up with an open mind and integrity in their work. In working with a contractor, one has to be adaptable to their schedules. From the top-down, these are blue-collar guys, giving 100% everyday physically. As owners, it is our job to treat them as the peers they are: they should be allowed to take family vacations, pivot to other clients while subcontracting takes place, and they can get sick just like anyone. Marin is a very wealthy area, and I did not take for granted that these gentlemen would get up at the crack of dawn to be cognizant of commute traffic, to be most efficient with their time on the job. Similar to other counties, the permit process stinks. But the permit process should be no reflection of the contractors. Both contractor and owner have to be highly proactive in the permit process, given the broken system we are forced to use. I have already referred Brownstein Construction to family and neighbors. And I will certainly use them for future projects.

Clark Brownstein and his company did the remodel on my less than 1200 sq ft condo. The job was to…read moreremodel 2 small bathrooms, the small kitchen, redo electrical, put in floors and paint. Unfortunately I would not recommend Brownstein Construction nor would I choose to work with them again. We had to wait 2 months for the County of Marin to issue the permit. The project started in July. We had a deadline for the project of October 15. Then we moved the deadline to October 30 then to November 1 then to November 15th. Despite the apartment not being ready I had to move in about November 20th. The guys had made a big show of coming down and working for a couple of days before i moved in but to my surprise they left without installing the shelves in any of the largest cabinets, not the kitchen or the linen cabinets. I wrote Clark and said the rolling retractable shelves aren't installed and he wrote me back saying watch a You Tube video and do it yourself. I lived here in the apartment with all the boxes containing kitchen items piled in my living room for well over a month. Also I couldn't put anything away into the linen closet. They did not come back to work for a long time after that. They did not come back to work for a long time after that. Then just 1 man would show up to work for some hours and then week or 2 later some other guy would come and work a little. There were meetings Clark scheduled with me for which he did not show up. One time I waited for 45 minutes before texting him and about 45 minutes later he called to say he is not coming to the meeting he is doing something else. I was ghosted by Clark more than once. Luckily I came to the apartment the day they were laying the floors and they were laying the floor crosswise the way you walk in the apartment. When we talked about the job Clark told what they could and would do and then did not do it. They said we can put that cable box in the closet behind the tv and no one will ever see it and then did not do that. Oh we will have a cleaning person come and clean it up before you move in and then took that back.. From the beginning of talking about the project i said i want cedar shelves in the linen closet and into the project he said no. I wanted a ceiling fan and had bought it and he said no after saying yes. As Christmas approached I said whatever is left to do please do it before i go out of town on December 18 and as the day approached Clark said they, or 1 of them, could only come on December 18 so I changed my plans for sake of getting the project done. Still it was i think January the 23 when I was finally able to shut the door behind Clark. That day he kept saying "It's always a rough road. It's always a rough road." and made a big deal about shaking hands. The work is ok. There was nothing complicated. It was completely straight forward. The tile in the primary bathroom is a little uneven and around the shower they did the seams with some silver joiner. It looks cheap and I would not have chosen that look and have never seen that silver capping used anywhere before. The grout on either edge of the silver capping is at uneven depths and needs to be cleaned all the time or it looks bad.

Now that the Holidays are behind us, I can finally write this review. Long story short, we had a…read morepipe break under our main bathroom which also involved sewage. Following the remediation work authorized by the insurance company, we decided that this unfortunate event gave us the opportunity to completely remodel our all original 1961 bathroom. I began looking for contractors and reading the reviews on Yelp. I selected three, two from Yelp and one which was a referral. Uriah, owner of Hawkins Remodeling & Repair, responded quickly to my request and set up a date and time that worked wonderfully with our schedule. He arrived as scheduled and we toured my complete wreck of a bathroom. He took measurements, pictures and we talked all while he took notes of everything including what our vision was. He asked questions and offered suggestions including installing a new bathroom door. Uriah sent back a proposal just a couple days later and while I was still waiting for the last contractor. In the end, we just liked everything Uriah and his company had to offer and selected them for the remodel. We agreed on a start date the Monday following Thanksgiving. Uriah asked if he could come over the on the weekend prior to drop of the dump trailer as the bathroom was going to be gutted with a lot of debris, so this made perfect sense. On Monday, Uriah and his team members, Carlos and Miguel, showed up promptly and right away began working by masking all the carpeted area with plastic sheeting where they would be travelling on. They also set up their 'shop' in our backyard for the duration of the project. Every day I came home to an extensive transformation. We had a lot going on in this little old bathroom including a faux divider wall removed, replacing the window with an obscure double pane window, which I asked for at the last minute. They were also moving electrical outlets and extending the plumbing height to accommodate our new fixtures but more so for all the tall bodies living in our house. They removed our existing cast iron bathtub, preserving it as we were having it refinished, so they removed it entirely so they could reinforce the main beams and redo the subfloor. Do you know how heavy those tubs are? Also, did I mention that this was a 1961 original AND was built on adobe? This means nothing in our home is level! Carlos and Miguel handled every challenge that was thrown their way. Uriah checked in with me on a regular basis and discussed any potential problems or issues that his team discovered and offered suggestions or solutions. It was very refreshing to know they just wanted it done right and for us to be completely satisfied. Near the end, we had the tub resurfaced and no one was allowed in the bathroom for two days following as it needed to cure. I didn't want to lose them for a that time, so I asked Uriah if they could replace our back patio slider, which too was old in need of replacing. He quickly gave me a bid, I accepted, and the team installed a beautiful new patio slider. It should be noted that it was pouring rain too! They came to finish up on the final pieces and what an amazing Christmas gift it was! I can't recommend Hawkins Remodeling & Repair enough. They truly transformed a "beast" into a "beauty". Thank you, Uriah, Carlos, and Miguel (The Hawkins crew)! We look forward to working on another project with you in the future!
