We had it the least bad amongst the clients we know of. Not including the over billing and other work that I eventually had to get finished myself.

If you hire Proyecto, you're eventually going to have to hire someone else anyway to fix their work. Just a small sample of why: It took far longer than they said it would. And the work was shoddy. They didn't do work they contracted to do. There were obvious defects in the work that they did do, which they repeatedly promised to fix but never did. And over time, more fundamental defects keep appearing. Plus, they egregiously overcharged. One of their project managers told us we were not the only ones this happened to.

This is my first time using California Cut & Core. I am installing a 480v electrical service…read morethrough a concrete tilt-up building. I called California Cut & Core at 3pm to see if they could drill a 2-1/2" core hole for the conduit. Although we needed the job done quickly to keep the electricians moving, I had low expectations anyone could be scheduled that quickly. California Cut & Core had another job in the area starting at 8am the following morning and were able to squeeze us in at 6am ahead of it! Dan was on time and had the hole cut in no time. My electricians were thrilled that they could continue the job uninterrupted, and my equipment will be installed on time. They did a great job! I saw the 1-star review - who goes around a company and hires an employee under the table (only to get lousy work done) and writes a poor review on the company?? Stay above board Ruth and you might get quality work done!

I am not a believer in these ratings but I will bring forth the information and allow you the…read morereader to make your decisions on this company. I have been hiring KC to do some side cash jobs, well knowing that the company will not be liable for any errors, which is why I'm getting a cheap price. They are a hit or miss but for the price I take the gamble. But as of this last job there will be no more chances. Slurry was left running down my customers driveway into the drain. When I told the guy he sent in a CUT and CORE TRUCK he had the nerve to be upset with me. If your going to use a company car, tool ect..... don't piss off the customer. I know I'm paying a low price for a side job but the name and logo is still there keep it clean. I will not be using them again and will let my buddies know they lack professionalism, lack communication, and lack ability to fix the issue. I had to hire a buddy of mine to clean up the mess that was left. In that case I'll just call dispatch maybe cheaper just to go straight with the company! Beware! Deal with the company directly if you can.

Over the moon service!…read more We recently purchased and installed a gas fireplace insert through Berkeley Heat, and it was a smooth, flawless transaction from start to finish. The very first day we walked into their showroom close to closing time, Nick went above and beyond by staying late to walk us through the different models. He was incredibly patient and worked diligently to keep everything within our budget. The installer, Moises, and his team were absolutely amazing. They were highly professional, and the finished fireplace looks incredibly sleek! What truly blew us away, though, was their integrity. After the initial installation, Moises didn't feel 100% satisfied with how one element sat. Instead of just leaving it, he took the initiative to come back out and spend another four hours correcting it to perfection. That tells you exactly what kind of team you are dealing with here. If something isn't completely right, they have the conscience and professionalism to come back and make it perfect. They won't just leave you high and dry to rush off to the next job. I would highly recommend Berkeley Heat to anyone. Great prices, a quality product, and unmatched customer service!

Short version: they connected me to their preferred installer, sold me a Regency unit bigger than…read morewhat another vendor was willing to install, and the final result is beautiful and effective. Longer version: I actually started out working with another store (Penguin in San Jose) who did a truly spectacular job replacing an old wood burning fireplace with a Mendota gas insert, in another house. The other store was willing to give me a bid for our house in SF. Due to the existing natural stone opening being small vertically, they would only propose installing a Regency Gi25LE which is a beautiful insert but also super tiny. To get an idea what it looked like, I visited Berkeley Heat in person, and to my surprise they told me they could install the significantly larger Gi29LE by having their installer cut open the existing natural stone surround and modifying the existing zero clearance firebox. There was some back and forth with their installer; I also wanted to do this with permit and decided to have my own electrician do the electrical, and my own plumber install the gas line with a permit. (Their installer was not familiar with permitting in SF.) It took a couple months all told - and I had to do the follow-ups by phone to ensure we stayed on schedule - but the final result is fantastic. See photos I am adding.

We couldn't have been happier. The project came in on-time and under budget even with the long rainy winter. Roofs, decks, trim, siding, flashings, vents, metalwork, paint, and more. They even fixed a few unexpected issues without us even asking, at no extra cost. Avelar has a team of professionals with deep expertise, and they are kind and lovely people to work with. We highly recommend Avelar and RS!
