We recently hired E&E General Construction (Eduardo) for a major exterior project, and we couldn't be happier with the results! The scope included demolishing our old balcony and installing a brand-new one, exterior painting, adding window trim, wrapping a post, installing balcony flooring, adding shutters, and even running electricity for new light fixtures. From start to finish, Eduardo made the process easy and stress-free. He communicated daily, kept us informed of progress and any issues, and was always accommodating to our requests. His crew arrived promptly at 8 AM every morning, worked efficiently, and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding. Our home looks completely refreshed, and the new balcony is beautiful and solidly built. We also passed every City of Concord inspection without delays, which speaks to Eduardo's professionalism and quality work. If you're looking for a contractor who delivers excellent results, clear communication, and a smooth process, we highly recommend E&E General Construction (Eduardo) and his team! read more

I hired Eduardo about three years ago to remodel two bathrooms at the same time. He and team were friendly and the finished appearance looked good, but unfortunately one bathroom developed a hidden moisture problem that has now required full remediation and reconstruction (thousands of dollars worth of repair) When I opened the wall, I discovered that the exterior bathroom wall had old insulation, old vapor paper, and no proper moisture management behind the new drywall. This created a condensation trap in winter that eventually led to mold inside the wall cavity and peeling paint on the surface. The other bathroom--built at the same time--did not have this issue, which is what helped us figure out that this was not a house-wide moisture problem, but instead a wall-assembly oversight specific to that remodel. To be clear: I'm not questioning their friendliness or effort, but proper bathroom remodeling requires evaluating insulation, vapor control, and the condition of exterior walls during demo, especially when replacing drywall on an exterior-facing wall. That step didn't happen here, and it ultimately created a significant expense and inconvenience down the road. I've removed my initial positive review because, while the bathrooms looked nice on day one, this kind of behind-the-wall oversight matters. I hope the company takes this as constructive feedback for future projects. Customers should make sure that insulation, vapor strategy, and exterior-wall conditions are verified when remodeling a bathroom - especially one with drywall on an outside-facing wall. read more

I've known Eduardo and the team at E&E General Construction for about 10 years now, and I'm happy to write this review because I truly believe they make life easier. They've become an integral part of both our home and business improvements. Eduardo started with handyman work, and we quickly trusted his team with a full bathroom remodel. Years later, they transformed our kitchen into a beautiful space we love, all while following our design vision. Over the years, they've handled everything from minor repairs to urgent fixes at a mixed-use building we own. Most recently, they took on a major project--converting our two-car garage into a fantastic ADU and building a one-bedroom apartment above it. Their craftsmanship, dependability, smart problem-solving, and fair pricing are top-notch. Whether it's a large remodel or an urgent repair, they are our trusted team. I can't say enough good things about Eduardo--you'll love working with them. read more

Great work. I love E&E and recommend them for any and all projects. I've hired them for 3 bathrooms and a kitchen and they continue to impress me. Their prices are fair and affordable. read more

Always a fantastic can-do attitude and reasonable prices no matter the job. I've been hiring Eduardo Alvarado for projects large and small since 2018 and there is no job he can't tackle. He can do anything-- ANYTHING. He's remodeled a bathroom for us, built walls, made built-ins, installed counters and hanging shelves, installed new electrical-- way too many jobs for me to count. Here are some photos of a built in refrigerator Eduardo made by hand and him installing a redwood kitchen counter. Building furniture was his father's family business. He's also an honest businessman and a pleasure to work with. He's the first person I contact when I need help. read more

Eduardo and his team are really really good. I came to him with just a loose idea of what I wanted and he was more than happy to help me flesh it, explain logistics to me and save money! The work that his team does is extremely high quality. They were always on time to arrive and work and was always respectful of using our space. No matter what curve balls we threw at them, they not only worked with us but helped us make decisions accordingly. 10/10 I will be asking Eduardo to help me with more future projects! read more

My fiancee and I have hired Eduardo and his team many times and they always do such a great job! We've had them do many minor projects as well as lay down a new wood laminate floor in the laundry room and paint the exterior of our house. One recent large project (photos attached) was to redo our bathroom with a new floor, new tiled shower, new floating vanity with a custom top and vessel sink, paint the walls, and install new lights in the ceiling and wall sconces. I chose all of the materials and had specific patterns I wanted for the tiles, and Eduardo's team matched my vision perfectly! I was especially impressed with their tile work on the shower floor and inset shelf and how they matched the patterns while still angling the floor so it drains well. The work was done quickly (about 8 days total, I believe) and they cleaned everything up and took the old vanity, shower tray, and all fixtures away which was very helpful. I see some old reviews mentioning issues - we haven't experienced this. Yes, the guys doing the work don't speak perfect English but they're very nice, and Eduardo is easily available via text or phone call. In addition, I think with any large project there will be small things to fix at the end - we've always done a final walkthrough together and the team makes any changes needed. We've always been very happy with the final result and I would highly recommend their work! read more

We worked with Eduardo and his team twice. The first time they helped us with a deep remodeling of a condo we owned. The team did a lot of difficult work and I appreciated how Eduardo helped us find the best solutions and stay compliant with the state and city requirements. The end result was absolutely stunning. The second time we needed to repaint our house, redo the water proofing and the tiles on outdoor staircase + some other replacement and maintenance work. The price was super reasonable and Eduardo closely sticked to it. As we decided to increase the scope of work a bit he increased the price reasonably. And again the team did outstanding work. Our house looks new. read more

If you are looking for a construction company, look no further than E & E general construction. We had to replace a rotting carport that was attached to our house, with a garage. The project was reasonably price and the quality and expertise was excellent. Eduardos calm deamour eliminated any snags along the way, and the project was finished two weeks before schedule. I have never experienced a harder working crew than the guys working for E & E. I would not hesitate hiring this company in the future. read more

We hired Eduardo for our remodel that consisted of breaking down a wall and new flooring. His communication was great, his team was punctual, and rates were very reasonable even with a couple change orders. The project finished earlier than anticipated which was great and we are happy with the result. Looking forward to hiring him and his team again! read more

Eduardo and his team have done a bunch of work for us this year including deck repair, staining, drainage, master bath and laundry remodel. Eduardo is one of the best if not the best contractors I have worked with. He is very communicative, reasonable and is eager to deliver a quality product. We are extremely happy with the result and look forward to using Eduardo again for future projects! The first project Eduardo worked on for us was replacing the structure of our deck. The existing posts were rotted and the deck was sloping because of it. Eduardo installed new footings, posts and beams and was able to level the deck. During the project we decided to re-paint/re-stain the deck as well as repair rotted siding on the house. Eduardo was able to accommodate these requests and still finish the job within the original estimated timeframe. We were so satisfied with the result of the deck that we hired Eduardo to remodel our master bathroom and laundry room. Eduardo and his guys moved so quickly through demo and electrical that we had to wait many weeks for other delays due to the county. Eduardo accommodated these delays which were not caused by him and was able to work us back into his schedule when we were ready to close up. Towards the end of the project we hit another delay with our window order. Eduardo again was happy to accommodate this delay and sure enough, came back to finish as soon as the windows were delivered! At the end of the project Eduardo made sure to address minor finishing details to make us happy. This is really important to me as other contractors try to rush through the finishing process to get onto the next job. The result is exactly what we wanted. We are still in shock that it's our space! read more

A few weeks ago I asked for quotes from Yelp's highly rated concrete companies for replacing the sidewalks in my front yard in North Oakland. Eduardo at E&E General Construction was the first to give me his estimate, his estimate was the lowest, and he could start work the following week. He said it would take 3 days. They started on Monday and were finished on Wed. He provided me with photos of before and after photos, as I live out of state. He provided me with prompt, affordable, and excellent service. read more

We are incredibly happy with the way our deck turned out. The old one was rotting and unsafe. Eduardo and his team did an incredibly professional job. He told us a reasonable estimate of when the work would be done and delivered us a finished product ahead of schedule. The deck is sturdy redwood, stained beautifully to highlight the natural material. He even addressed a water damage issue in our bathroom and sloped the concrete outside to prevent the issue from happening again. I definitely recommend E&E. read more

Tub to shower conversion. Eduardo was always responsive and answered all my inquiries. The cost of the conversion included: demolition, hauling of debris, rough in, installation and finish work. I provided the tiles, grout, shower hardware, shower doors, shower pan, paint, baseboard and lights. I sent him web links of what I had in mind before purchasing anything so he could make sure there were no issues. He said not to purchase a niche kit as they are prone to leak and that they would build it instead. I changed my mind on a several things on the fly but Eduardo was accommodating to the changes. They placed paper board on my hardwood floors and plastic coverings on the carpet and stairs to protect them. This is construction, so there will be residual dust and clean up afterwards but that is to be expected. Overall, I'm pleased with the process and outcome. I will use them again for future projects. read more

Eduardo and his team are the best! No matter how big or small my project is, they always take the time to listen to my vision and make my renovation dreams a reality. They just wrapped up a bathroom and kitchen remodel project and I couldn't be happier with the results. They were knowledgeable about the end to end process, including counter cutting, lighting fixture installation, floor replacement, tile, drywall, and painting. Eduardo kept in close contact with me throughout the project and was proactive about providing recommendations that kept the work moving efficiently while allowing his team to deliver high quality results. I won't hesitate to hire them again for my next project. read more

Eduardo and his team remodeled our kitchen and bathroom. It came out great. On time, on budget and very professional!

Our house needed a new vanity installed. The old vanity was not installed properly and the whole thing was falling apart after years. This needed to be done especially now that a family member was going to have hip surgery. Eduardo and his guy was great. He sent me an estimate and performed the work on a Saturday. They stayed within the original budget aside from a faulty faucet we'd previously purchased. This was great work and the guys were professional and courteous. We plan on using this company again as we need various other work done. Thanks a bunch. read more

I was able to get in touch with Eduardo through Yelp and it was the best thing to happen for my home renovation project. I had a structural wall that needed to be taken down and a new beam put up to support the load above (along with a ton of other smaller things). Eduardo provided a reasonable quote and timeline so we scheduled a date to start. Eduardo and his two-man crew got to work and got to things much faster than anticipated - all work was inspected by the city and permitted and never ran into a problem. Eduardo was polite and his crew was extremely timely. They poured additional concrete around the foundation, new subfloor, some insulation, drywall, flooring, replaced the front door, and paint. They did just about everything you would expect them to do and they did them extremely well. Overall I would recommend him to everyone. Definitely reaching out next year for the rest of the home!

Unfortunately, Eduardo chose not to show up on the day we scheduled to review the project. I had to message him at our scheduled time and he responded that he didn't have the address and wanted to reschedule. I can't understand that if I failed to give him to the address why he wouldn't call me, message me, or email me to get this information instead of just not showing up. What it shows is disorganization and the fact that put the blame on the customer rather than taking ownership shows a ton. Don't recommend. read more

Eduardo and his team did a superb job creating a stone patio and pergola in our backyard. They are skilled, hard-working and thoroughly professional. They finished the job in half the time they originally estimated! We could not be happier with their outstanding work---the project exceeded our expectations! Each step along the way, they demonstrated care, expertise and consideration. It was a pleasure to work with such reliable, friendly professionals, and I am looking forward to hiring them again in the future! read more

Always remember that reviews are based on a personal experience, but one that may repeat itself. Despite a couple questionable reviews, I hired Eduardo and crew anyway. You will get an unbeatable price from this company, but it's the overall quality in the service and outcome that matters. Eduardo presents as knowledgeable, professional and friendly. All good characteristics for an unlicensed contractor looking to gain trust (and work). Initial issue(s): *wanted $300 more for work included in initial quote (corrected since I fortunately had estimate in writing) *texted Saturday to delay Monday start by another day Issue(s) during project: *would've liked to see Eduardo periodically during remodel to discuss progress (language barrier prevented his worker from communicating effectively about the job) Post-completion issue(s): *exterior electrical receptacle left hanging on wall from being knocked loose during job (Eduardo corrected when he came to pick-up final payment) *worker left gaping holes under new vanity (Eduardo sloppily patched & painted) *substandard bathroom paint job brought to Eduardo's attention upon completion *immediately experienced major ($800) plumbing issue in sink, shower & toilet (demolition debris backed up drain pipes) *walk-in shower door is aesthetically beautiful, but water leaks under frameless door onto bathroom floor (seal not properly installed) *diminished responsiveness to resolve issue(s) (set date then canceled last minute leaving me no option but to hire a plumber) *plumber found toilet installed incorrectly (screwed one side into wood subfloor & cap missing) *demolition materials discarded under home in lieu of being removed and hauled away *dozens of wood screws and debris from job found discarded in my backyard Eduardo has posted pics on Yelp of the completed job (walk-in shower with frameless door bathroom remodel)... beautiful on the outside, but if it doesn't work properly it is pointless. My suggestion... do your homework before hiring ANY contractor. Licensed or not, we (customers) expect a functional result. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful words about Eduardo Alvarado and his crew. We contacted Eduardo after a disastrous experience with a "handyman". We had hoped to have our deck redone by the beginning of July, but with all of the issues that erupted, it was not to be. Then, I contacted Eduardo! Wow! What a difference! He came over to give us an estimate, texted it to me, and within a short time, a member of his team was here removing the mistake (all of it), reframing and within 3 days, the deck was done! The workmanship is superb. In fact, it is awesome! Eduardo is personal, professional and a lovely person with whom to deal. I would recommend him without any hesitation. If you are planning on any renovations or any needed work on your home or business, do not walk but run to call/text/email him! You will NOT regret it. Thank you, Eduardo, for your excellent job and your incredible customer service! read more

Eduardo and his team do quality work. Their quotes are reasonable and each project was completed on time. They have done numerous projects for us and we have been very happy with each one. I would definitely recommend them for any big and small project. read more

I called Eduardo to fix a project that went wrong at the hands of a licensed contractor. We needed to install a garden door in a narrow space and all the licensed guy managed to do in a day work is to break the neighbors fence and install a wobbly post. I sent Eduardo a description and an approximate image of how the gate should look like. He came on site, took the measurements, examined the broken fence and the door opening and put me on his schedule immediately. He and his helper showed up on time, brought all the materials needed, and constructed the door from scratch in a half day! They cleaned the site after themselves as well. This is a work of a professional, experienced carpenter! Communication was easy and the result was superb. I highly recommend. read more

Eduardo did a quick project for us in the kitchen. From scoping the work to completion took only a couple days. And the workmanship is fantastic.

Amazing attention to detail. Always fair pricing and on-time performance. These are reasons why we always call Eduardo for everything we need on the house, big or small.

I am totally comfortable recommending E & E Home Renovations. Cheri read more

My experience with E&E home renovations was exceptional from start to end. My bathroom ceiling had fallen down due to a water leak from an upstairs bathroom so I was desperate to get it fixed immediately. Eduardo was able to fit me in for a free quote on a Saturday. He was very professional and his price was very reasonable. He also helped turn my water heater back on during his free estimate appointment- which showed great character on his part. He was able to text me with a quote for the work by Monday. Once I gave him the green light to start the project he was able to start quickly and finish the job in a day in a half. He was very responsive and communicated well via text. The job looks great and I am sure to call him for future projects needed around the house. Will definitely recommend him to everyone I know. read more

Super happy with everything. Eduardo provided a very competitive estimate, started on time, finished ahead of schedule. They stripped my standalone garage to the frame and put on a new exterior. Roofing, gutters, siding, doors. If you've done these projects before you know how stressful it can be when there is more work discovered when you tear everything apart. The additional work had a very reasonable price tag which made this job the least stressful contractor work I've ever been a part of. Eduardo also did a bunch of cement work for drainage and I like how we walked around testing all the drainage together. The end product was flawless and any questions or concerns I had were instantly answered or remediated. Another thing that I thought was kind of amazing: you pay at the end when the work is done and to your liking. It actually feels good to pay when everything is done right. read more
