It is exceedingly rare to find all the qualities you want in a general contractor--top to bottom throughout an organization--but Berkeley Craftsmen delivered them all: exceptional competence and skill, absolute reliability and trustworthiness, meticulous attention to detail, and a genuinely delightful team to work with. They should really be called Berkeley Perfectionists--in the best sense of the term. We would walk through the house, and someone would suggest moving something "one inch," and every time they were right. It's hard to believe, but they cared about our house just as much as we did. The entire team worked incredibly hard and steadily over the course of ten months. Even when we expanded the project scope--sometimes at their insistence, because they were committed to doing things properly--they stuck to the schedule and finished on the promised date. Literally no one could believe it, but we moved in on the day we had agreed to at the start. We cannot speak highly enough of the integrity, craftsmanship, and quality of Berkeley Craftsmen's work. And just as important, we were lucky to enjoy the camaraderie and collaboration that came with working alongside this remarkable team.

We are so eternally grateful for the introduction, and for their availability in taking on our project. I truly can't express adequately what a wonderful job they did building our home. The care and attention to every little detail, the excellence of every aspect of the work, and above all the quick, clear and responsive communication, at every stage of the huge project, were all outstanding. Mark Butler has continued to follow up long after most of the crews have gone, personally coming by to finish small punch-list items, making sure we are 100% satisfied. This project was very extensive, like down to the studs, with new foundation and drainage elements, all new interiors with drywall, new floors, complete new plumbing and electrical system, new exterior, solar system, windows, doors, everything, and we are completely in love with everything BC and all their subcontractors did for us. I can't recommend them highly enough, truly an exceptional company. It restores one's faith that there are still true craftsmen in the world who take their jobs seriously, and believe in honesty and integrity.

We had the pleasure of working with Abdullah and his team. From workmanship to professionals we were very satisfied. They not only treated our home with the utmost respect and care they finished the job in a timely manner. Showing up everyday and working diligently. One of the best parts that made it so easy and convenient for us is that they are a one stop shop. They were able to demo, patch, re-texture, paint, work on the electrical and so much more. I hate having to chase a contractor down, so trying to schedule a bunch of different contractors with different skills to finish one project is not practical. So when he and his team were able to do everything we were extremely happy. Hire Construction Pros! You wont regret it! Save yourself the trouble and headaches of other contractors. They are truly the best and the the way to go! Thank you so much Construction Pro! I've attached work they've done in our home. Ceiling patch work, demolition of our closet wall, along with repatching the ceiling back up. They had to come in to make sure it wasn't a load barring wall. Extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy team. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future our projects.

She asked a lot of questions that showed her engagement and interest. We had a general sense of what we wanted for our kitchen remodel and Miu guided us with some ideas and suggestions to polish our vision. Throughout the process they were highly communicative, organized, and regularly dropped in to provide direction to the project team and ask us questions. Each day the project team would clean everything up and vacuum the outdoor area so that our child was protected from construction debris. Being licensed contractors, everything was built to code, which was important for a complete tear down remodel for the kitchen. Their price was about 20-30% lower than the other contractors who came to see the project and the timeline was 2-4 weeks faster. The crazy part is the project was delivered exactly on budget and even a bit earlier than estimated. We love the new kitchen and feel like we bought a new house. It's the best investment we've made to our living space. Thank you so much Bay Modern Build!

We hired them to help us design and remodel our kitchen and second-story porch in our 1914 Oakland triplex. They were great at taking our initial ideas and putting together a clear plan to bring them to life, and they were very willing to fabricate a few custom elements that other firms were spoke with were unwilling to consider. They navigated the byzantine city permitting process with expertise, and once the project was underway, the crew always showed up on time, worked hard all day, and left the job site clean at the end of the workday. When the inevitable hiccups arose, we were so thrilled with the way that Jay and Miu navigated the pitfalls and pivoted to solutions. They were both very communicative about change orders and additional costs. And in the end they finished the project early and on budget! We could not be more thrilled with the results, and would not hesitate to work with Bay Modern Build again and recommend them to anyone considering a major remodel. Thank you Miu, Jay and crew!

I hired Eduardo about three years ago to remodel two bathrooms at the same time. He and team were…read morefriendly 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.

I've known Eduardo and the team at E&E General Construction for about 10 years now, and I'm happy…read moreto 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.

Antone and his team at NS General Contractors exceeded my expectations. First, their proposal and…read moredescription of the course of works was clear and augmented by photographs and video. Easy to understand and appreciate. They expertly tackled a dry rot nightmare on the back of our house - a nightmare which we though had been remedied by another contractor years ago. Turns out that contractor made matter worse. Antone and crew were able to identify the sources of water intrusion - roof, gutter, a rotted window, wood siding, you name it. It took some time chasing down the dry rot, but the end result is that this side of the house looks as good as the time of original construction. The crew was punctual, neat and tidy, coordinated well with other trades, and they were fair in their pricing. All in all, a solid performance. I have referred NS Contractors to a work colleague, and will invites them back to address some fix-it items on the front of the house.

When we decided to remodel our tiny San Francisco bathroom into a walk-in curbless shower, we met…read morewith five highly rated contractors. Only one stood out from the rest. ProModeling earned our business through their strong reputation and high ratings -- but what truly won us over was the trust we built through personal, intelligent interactions with their team: project manager Alexandra Asaftei, designer Andrea Estalayo, and construction foreman Christian Mendoza. Anyone who has worked with contractors knows the anxiety of wondering whether things will be done right and on time. From our very first conversations, that anxiety was gone. Alexandra was friendly, organized, and thorough in explaining their entire process. Andrea used visualization technology to help us explore different textures, colors, and finishes, making it easy to imagine what our small space could become. Once we felt confident in the design, we gave the green light -- and the project moved forward without a hitch. From demolition to completion, the team was skilled, efficient, and professional. Christian went above and beyond to ensure everything met our satisfaction, and his attention to detail helped the project sail smoothly through the permitting process. Every aspect of the remodel -- electrical, plumbing, waterproofing, and tiling -- was handled expertly and on schedule. We couldn't be happier with the result or the experience.

Alexandra, the Project Manager, was easy to work with. She communicated clearly, returned calls and texts promptly, took time to answer my questions, and was very personable. Brian, the crew leader, was also easy to work with and was patient and thoughtful in explaining things I asked about. He and the crew were friendly, respectful, and cleaned up well each day. Everyone was very attentive to making sure the job was done the way I wanted it, and when I asked for some wall texturing and painting touch-ups, they were taken care of quickly. I felt good about Promodeling's price. The estimated cost was nearly the same as the final cost. I did authorize a change order to replace an old plumbing part, which was a relatively small cost. I had one bid from another company that was considerably lower, but the estimate was much less detailed and I don't think they anticipated the full scope of the work. Another company's bid was much higher, and the company had their preferred vendors and products, which I felt might limit my input into the materials. I am happy I chose Promodeling. I gave Promodeling a 4, rather than a 5, since I did need to ask for touch-ups the crew hadn't noticed. Also, the trim painting (window frame, and door and frame) was just OK and not as smooth as I might have done myself. I'm sure I could have asked them to redo it, but chose not to. I admit to being a picky painter! If I have another project, I will definitely contact Promodeling again, and I certainly recommend them to others.

He was incredibly responsive to text and email, thorough and professional with his transparent estimates, and started and finished when he said he would. Once going, his crew was terrific. Professional, yes, but also impeccably clean and with an amazing attention to detail. Romero and Giovanni took great care in their craft and were just a pleasure to have in the house. Everyday the jobsite was left spotless, all the tools and materials neatly arranged in the garage at the end of the day, doors and gates locked. In the end, the work was finished exactly to our intent, the fit and finish of everything was top notch, and everything was done on time and on budget. So rare these days! The job is done, but we find ourselves looking for other opportunities to work with him. We'd go to Eli again in a heartbeat.
