I was referred to Luis by a coworker and he was fantastic!…read more In the past 5 years, I've probably worked with a dozen contractors in the Bay Area, from GC, drywall, electricians, plumbers, tile, HVAC, and landscape (after having completed a down to the studs renovation in 2021). I would consider Luis in the top 10% of people I have ever worked with. Luis was easy to communicate with, showed up on time, clearly outlined the scope of work, and delivered exactly what was asked for and more, at a fair price! My water heater was EOL and developed a leak which damaged the plywood housing supporting it. Luis cut out the damaged part, cleaned all the mess out, reinforced the subfloor joists, and replaced it with new plywood. All of this in time so that the plumber could install a new water heater the same day. While he was here, I also asked him to make some small adjustments to my cabinets. One of my cabinet doors had broken off and I ordered new hinges but struggled to get it back on level. Luis made sure that 3 cabinet doors which were a little off-level were adjusted and tightened to open and close perfectly. He even noticed my front door had the same issue and proactively fixed that too. He did such a great job that my fiance wants to hire him to do a fence for us. 5/5 stars!

Wow, so many reasons to recommend Luis and his wonderful crew. 1. Lovely and kind workers with…read moreamazing integrity (i.e., take pride in the excellence of their work, stand by their work no matter what issues arise, go the extra mile every time). 2. Beautiful craftmanship (shoutouts to Rene's gorgeous tile work, Juan's perfect paint job). 3. Clear and thorough communication and coordination of the work by Luis. 4. Reliability - always arrive when they say they will. 5. Knowledgeable about all aspects of construction. Lastly, Luis was just great at listening to us, providing helpful ideas along the way, but understanding our vision for the bathroom remodel. And he is the most calm and mellow soul, perfect for the, at times, stressful work he does. Thank you Luis!

There are four things I'm looking for in a good contractor…read more 1. Integrity - Can he look me in the eye 2. Workmanship - I want a contractor that takes pride in what he does. 3. Value - Don't get me wrong I'm not cheap but some of these guys will just come in so over the bid it makes me sick to think of I was an elder lady. 4. Customer Service - I mean nothing is better then that old school you matter to my business type feeling RIGHT! Dustin delivered on all four areas and thoroughly impressed me with his knowledge, workmanship, the price.... I mean I can't say enough. Him and his team showed up on time were clean and tidy even in the middle of the job. Always checked in in the morning and out before he left with a punch list and all. Look if you are looking for a good all around contractor well look no farther this guy is my go too! Thank you Dustin for your stellar work ethic and giving me some hope in this world again!!

This is a small owned business, but they are incredibly helpful and responsive.

Everyone that came out was friendly and professional. And we are very happy with their quality of work. Everything looks really beautiful.

He and his team did an implacable job cutting the existing tile and installing the niche like it was there all along. They also did three more projects for me all in one day.

Yoel did such an amazing job repairing the issues in our upstairs bathroom. Another company (we'll…read morecall them Company X) had remodeled it a few months earlier, and their work fell apart quickly. When we contacted Mazariegos Builder, we needed our sliding glass tub door fixed, our linoleum and trim by the tub replaced, and new caulking in the tub. Yoel was amazing! He is so knowledgeable and skilled at his job. Our sliding glass tub door wouldn't stay closed, and he fixed it so that it stays closed when someone is in the shower. His caulking work is flawless, and the linoleum he put down looks perfect as well. In addition to his amazing work, he was very kind! He even offered to get me lunch when he went to get his own! We are so grateful for his help, and will use him again the next time we need a repairman!

Our house is reborn…read more We have a cedar shingle house that was looking significantly worn and the integrity of the siding was starting to fail. We were torn between restoring the shingle siding or ripping it off and fully replacing. We are SO glad that we chose to restore with Marin Wood. Paul and Romy were amazing to work with - true professionals and artisans. They restored our shingles to perfection while resealing interfaces, and the restaining is a serious upgrade to the look of our house. We feel like we were able to maintain the architectural integrity of our home - even improve it - while not sacrificing visually or structurally. And all of this for a fraction of what it would have cost (in contractor woes and money) to re-side the house. We look forward to continuing to work with Marin Wood. 10/10

We can't say enough good things about Marin Wood Restoration and Painting…read more From our very first contact through project completion, Paul and Romy have been friendly, professional, and always there when we had questions. Romy did the estimate and made recommendations as to the type of finish to use (stain vs solid stain vs paint) for our project. He also helped us pick out a great color. The workmen were fantastic - skilled at their jobs and very efficient. They treated our house like it was their own, down to washing window screens after they finished staining around the windows. Romy was out daily to check on their work, which we really appreciated. One section of the wall wasn't taking the stain as well as the rest of the house, so he had them do additional coats until it met with his approval. Our house looks better than it ever has in the 20+ years we've been in it. Marin Wood's prices may be a bit higher than the big companies in the area, but you're not going to get this kind of personalized service from them. We highly recommend them without reservation.

We were introduced to Sergio, Fairfield Drywall Inc. by our insurance company…read more After doing the dry wall, Sergio volunteered to take up the wall painting too. It's a special type of texture and paint work. Having experienced the job outcome which was neat, we showed him a part of our main entrance where we wanted some work done. At the time of the first job too, keeping time and appointment was seen as a challenge. Several times he changed the appointment date and time and then too never made on time committed, but we considered it acceptable and an exception since he mentioned there were circumstances beyond his control. For the next job too where the job lasted a couple of days, keeping appointment time was a consistent problem. As the job was completed late in the evening, the exact outcome especially the defect were not fully visible, yet. On seeing the uneven and patchy work during the day light, made contact and an appointment with him. He assured that the job will be finished properly this time and he will give us "a beautiful outcome". He was to send the invoice for the materials and services, which is not received even now. On the appointed day, waited no one came. Called him after a few days, he said he missed noting down the appointment and said he din respond to the text or call as he was out of the country on an emergency but will come back that Friday to finish the job. Friday too passed and he did not come nor informed. Tried calling, then sent a text saying if he is not willing to fix and complete the job, he should send the paperwork atleast. No response. This is not just being unreliable but also quite irresponsible. We are now with an incomplete and not happy looking outcome :( when the whole purpose of engaging the services was to make the space look prettier !

I was in need of drywall replacement for our laundry room's ceiling and corner side walls after a…read moreWater Restoration company dried everything out and removed the mold. I used trusty Yelp project and managed to get one solid quote from a 5-star place, along with other inquires of interest from several painting contractors. Sergio provided a response a few days later and was transparent about the scope and gave a competitive bid. Plus his availability matched our schedule so we went with him. Sergio did an awesome job and was extremely meticulous. It took about a day to install the insulation, new drywall, and texturing. After 2.5 days of letting everything dry out, he came back on a Saturday and managed to paint everything to matching colors. He left our laundry room and garage nearly spotless. I highly recommend reaching out to Sergio for drywall repair needs. Our damaged area is about 30 square feet or so its probably too large a scope for most painting contractors and maybe a handyman. Its best to work with a specialist in drywall like Sergio and pay a little extra for the paint job afterwards.
