We hired Bay Area Moisture Control to install a sump pump with trenching to address standing water…read moreunder the house. On the positive side, the crew (Antonio) was punctual, easy to work with, and efficient. The whole job took 3.5 hours. The issue came with the placement of the sump pump discharge location. I had talked to their sales lead (Bill) about having the water be discharged to the street where there is a storm drain. Instead, the sump pump "pop up" was placed 8 feet from the front of the house, way too close. Water can flow back under the house, defeating the purpose of the sump pump entirely. When I called Bill during the job to talk about our options, he dismissed our concerns and immediately pointed to the contract, implying that this was our fault because we signed the contract. In reviewing the contract, the design was completely unclear about where the sump pump would exit water. Bill continued to skirt the fact that that we had discussed pumping water to the street, and instead, he baked a different design into the contract with unclear markings. We are dissatisfied with the poor communication, but even more so, the lack of accountability from the company. If you hire this company, just a word of caution to walk through the design with them before signing and make sure you're on the same page about everything. We are going to have to bring someone else out to fix the issue. One more thing ... I was flabbergasted that when talking to Bill on the phone about the iffy sump pump discharge location, Bill was trying to upsell me on encapsulation! Read the room, dude.

We had Cardona construction come out to check out some work we needed done on the foundation of our…read morehome. Was really happy we had someone out from Cardona Construction first. The person they sent out (Mauricio) explained everything clearly, gave us a lot of information about what to consider before making big changes etc. Ultimately, we decided to get more information from a structural engineer before making any changes, but once we figure out precisely what needs to be done, we'll reach out to Cardona for the quote!

Cardona Construction built a French drain and did some other related work on our house. Although it…read morewas a relatively small job, we always were treated like important customers. They followed through on every step of the process; they did excellent work, cleaned up perfectly and finished the job strong. They were responsive, on-time, friendly and best of all -- the drain work was top notch. We highly recommend them!

We started working with Drainage Pros back in 2023... it's taken us awhile to write this review…read more.. buts it's a review that's well deserved. We had a significant drainage issue when we first bought our home and we talked to all sorts of professionals about possible solutions. Nothing seemed to make sense until we called Drainage Pros. Tom came out to visit our property within a week or so of us calling - his assessment was thorough, transparent and he was more than happy to offer consultation on our situation. We felt relief immediately. We soon met Rich who walked us through each phase of the project- no delays no hidden costs . Even 3 years after getting our drainage installed we are still in contact with Rich and drainage pros for our yearly maintenance and for any questions we might have regarding our system.

I did not use this team. But they came promptly and gave me a very professional quote. The sales…read moreguy was super knowledgable.

We feel lucky found Miguel and his team for our drywall repair and water leak repair work. His team…read moreis always on time. They shows up always 5 minutes early before the start time. I have had many contractors in the past not on time at all. The drywall repair work is extremely well done. Miguel's team was able to match to the old texture. He also helped to corrected many mistakes left by previous contractors. Also the price is fair. We will definitely have Miguel's team for future work.

Completely fixed our water problem in our crawlspace, quickly and for a very competitive price!…read more Great customer service. Miguel even came to help us later with an unrelated water leak to make sure our crawlspace was dry. Highly recommend and would use again!!!

If you're looking for a contractor in the Bay Area, you know how hard it is to find someone you…read moreactually trust. After consulting with a few different teams to deal with some serious leaking at our front stairs and rear door, we decided to go with David and the SF Remodel team. Their proposal was the most reasonable, and we especially appreciated that they specialize in water intrusion and mold remediation, which were our two biggest headaches. David, Saul, Jordan, and the entire crew were fantastic. They didn't just patch the problem; they fixed the root cause. They pulled out the old stairs, rebuilt them with proper flashing and drainage, and sealed everything with an elastomeric membrane. They also replaced all the damaged drywall underneath and added a moisture barrier, cement, and extra drainage as a failsafe. The real test came right after they finished: we had a massive rainstorm, and I'm happy to report we didn't see a single drop of water leak through. Overall, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, extremely responsive and communicative. We're already talking to them about a much bigger project to add a bedroom and bath in our garage. We couldn't recommend them enough!

SF Remodel converted half of my garage into a pantry and bathroom, and overall I'm very happy with…read morehow it turned out. They handled everything -- planning, architecture, permits, inspections, and construction -- which made a complex project much easier to navigate. The finished space matches what I had envisioned, both functionally and aesthetically. Throughout the process, the team was consistently nice, honest, and flexible. They were easy to work with, willing to accommodate changes, and I never felt pressured or intentionally misled. Their direct employees, in particular, did excellent work and were professional on site. There were a couple of drawbacks that keep this from being a full five stars. First, the project took significantly longer than expected. There didn't seem to be much formal project management, so it was often unclear when work would happen or who would be coming by. If you value tight schedules and proactive communication, you may need to push for updates. Second, the subcontractors they used weren't top-tier. The plumbers and electricians I've worked with independently were faster and more reliable. Again, their in-house crew was great -- the inconsistency mainly came from subs. That said, the final result is excellent, and I would use SF Remodel again -- just with clearer expectations about timeline and subcontractor quality going in.

Edwin Perez, Mike and the team did an excellent job. They showed up everyday and started promptly…read more They communicated throughout the process, didn't try to nickel and dime, and finished before they anticipated. We worked with them for some voluntary seismic retrofit, bolting, strapping, sheer walls, replacing some rot, installing a cap foundation and doing stucco work. They kept the job site tidy, and kept the project moving smoothly. Won't hesitate to call them again!

Back when Paul Carty ran the company, great can-do attitude and great customer service. We…read moreinstalled french drains and sump pump. Now with Edwin Perez as the lead, not a person to be trusted. After installation, we had issues and he promised to come out multiple times and did not. You can see here that most of the positive reviews are for Paul Carty, not Edwin Perez. Would avoid.

Marshal and his team did a fantastic job repairing and replacing our door. Marshal is…read morestraightforward, knowledgeable, communicative, and clearly holds his work to a high standard. His crew was skilled, fast, efficient, and very respectful of our home throughout the process. Most importantly, Marshal is someone I trust to give an honest assessment and make sure the job is done right. I'd absolutely recommend him, and I'm already looking at future projects to work with him on.

Marshal is amazing! He came out to the property I'm buying, gave a thorough analysis of the…read morefoundation and drainage, and explained in a way that gave me a chance to learn a lot. He also didn't charge for the consult, saying he could do it for free if I didn't need a written writeup. I'll definitely go with him when it's time to do this work. 100% recommend! More small businesses need to take a page out of Marshal's book.

He went over industry standards with me. He was professional, gave great advice and is truly human-centered. I can see he has a lot of integrity and pride in his work, business, and community. Thanks Edwin!

Things changed and we ended up using Edwin and his crew for this project! The other contractor we…read morewere going to work with gave us a funny feeling and we decided to give Edwin a call back to see if he was still interested in the project. When I reached out to him again, he immediately stopped by to talk about our goals and vision for the repairs and overall look. He gave me a very competitive updated quote, and generally put me and my husband at ease about the project. We really felt like it was collaboration where we were able to go back and forth with ideas. Edwin and his crew were always making great suggestions to help things look their best and be the most functional. I wanted to do some of the painting and finishing work myself (trying to be handy/creative) and got several great tips from Edwin and his crew. Every day they arrived on time and kept the work area so clean and tidy. We loved working with them and will be sure to use Edwin again for our future projects!
