We hired Ricky and the team at Valenz Construction in early 2023 to do a huge renovation on our…read morehouse. It involved gutting out and starting over for the entire house, as well as reconstructing one end of it from the foundation up. It was complicated by the fact that we continued to live and work from the home throughout. We can honestly say that Ricky and the team from Valenz were a genuine pleasure to work with. Their care and willingness to work with us--and around us!--at every step of the project was nothing short of remarkable. We also always felt that Ricky was treating us fairly, honestly, and profoundly honorably throughout the entire project. The careful work, flexibility, and never-ending good cheer from everyone was simply remarkable and touched us deeply. We think of it every day as we enjoy the wonderful house Ricky and everyone at Valenz Construction created for us.

They've picked up parts, toilets, faucets, sinks, etc., for us when other plumbers have told us to get them ourselves. Their response times are very quick and they always keep us updated. If it's an emergency, they are out super fast. They also do more than expected. Whether it's fixing another clogged sink that they notice while working or changing a washer that's about to go bad, they are on top of everything. And, my under-sink area is clean and neat when they leave.

Tim knows what he is doing, is happy to explain things, and has extensive experience working on homes in this part of the bay, which gives him a very helpful familiarity with common issues and home configurations in the area (as well as all the weird stuff various/past owners try to do to address these things). He got back to us quickly once he received my message, turned around a timely estimate after seeing the property, and work began very soon after we accepted his bid. The work was fast and minimally intrusive, and we are extremely happy with the results. Will be working with Tim on our future plans for the house, and so glad to have a contractor we know and like. Tim and his crew were a pleasure to deal with, were polite and respectful, showed up on time, communicated when issues or questions came up, and MOST importantly (to me), I didn't feel at all weird about leaving them alone in our home - trustworthy good guys. There are some sordid, strange, and scary characters in the construction business, but you won't find them in this company; Tim and his crew are intelligent, approachable, and hard-working - what more could you ask for? Very kind and conscientious with our dogs too!

This review is long overdue. Michael and his team, including Max and Alberto and the rest of the…read morecrew, were wonderful and easy to work with. We first hired Artifex for our home renovation which included new kitchen, two new baths, new windows and sliders, refinishing existing hardwood floors, insulation throughout, new electrical, and interior and exterior paint. We even removed a wall and installed new support beams. The work was completed in 4 months and that included a pandemic related delay. The entire team is highly skilled and professional. They offer smart suggestions and good alternatives. And I can't say enough about the quality of their finish work - tile and carpentry. We hired Artifex again for our deck and railing replacement project and experienced the same level of professionalism. We would definitely hire them again for any future projects....That is, if they can fit us in :-)

We hired Mike and his team to completely gut and redo our kitchen, master bath, and master bedroom…read more In addition, we asked for a face lift on the guest bath and new hardwoods throughout the house. There literally wasn't a room in the house that we didn't touch. We originally got 4 quotes on the job and Mike's quote was in the middle range but it was the most complete quote, and he also spent a lot of time even before we signed the contract answering our questions and walking us through each line item. For two people who had never gone through a major renovation before this was incredibly helpful. He originally told us it would take 3 - 4 months to complete the job and everyone who we talked to, who had been through a renovation, told us to expect at least double that. True to his word, Mike and his team completed the work in under 4 months and this was after we were delayed by two weeks when they had to fix shotty work that had been done before we moved in. In addition Mike was very conscious of our budget. He helped us pick cost efficient products and often helped us located less expensive alternatives when he knew of a good option. On the other hand, he and his team are very committed to high quality work and would also let us know if it was worth it to spend the extra money on certain items. If there were places where we could save money by doing the work ourselves, Mike worked with us to let us do that which was a huge plus for us. Throughout the process Mike and his head carpenter Luiz were responsive and did a great job of keeping the whole team on task. In addition, either Mike or Luis were on-site monitoring the work almost every day. This is not a company where you never see the general contractor. I also have to say they were both incredibly responsive to our calls and emails. We are both extremely detail oriented people and Mike took the time to answer all of our questions and he responded in a timely manner. The final product couldn't have turned out better. We have had people tell us that our house looks like it came out of a magazine. And, they are right...it turned out amazingly well, on-time, and within budget!! I would recommend Mike, Luiz, and the rest of the team to anyone.

This was after one of the big solar companies had declined our project because our main panel was not considered solar ready. Pete completely saved the project (and the day) for us: He installed a new main panel, elegantly kept the old panel as a sub-panel and also found a solution to keep the required distance from the gas aerator despite the relative lack of space where the new panel needed to be placed. He then installed solar panels for us at a fair price. Just like with the main panel, Pete completely followed through with this project, too. All of Pete's work has been done according to code, and we have now been enjoying the green energy from our solar system as well as the benefits of the NEM 2.0 program for several weeks - all thanks to Pete. Pete is a genuine, very friendly and incredible person. He is a very fine and fair electrician, he knows the local code and he keeps his promises. We can fully endorse Pete and assure you that you cannot go wrong with him as your electrician and solar expert.
