They really listened to our concerns about the existing condition of our home and what I (assumed) could/couldn't be fixed and done, he explained the process clearly, and gave great recommendations along the way. The crew worked SO hard, including long days and some weekends, and put so much care into the job and dedicated to doing it RIGHT. My house was built in 1924, and somehow they made it look brand new again which was beyond my expectations. They sanded everything down, checked the health of the wood, and even let us know where replacements were needed. They were also super thoughtful and worked with us on our color preferences and really made sure everything came out perfect. What impressed me most is how detail-oriented they are. Every step (from grinding and priming to caulking and painting) was done with so much pride, precision and mastery. They care and take pride in their work, and it absolutely shows in the end result. It is not a surprise why so many of our neighbors have worked with them. These young men are incredibly hardworking, respectful, and professional. PERIOD. They went above and beyond, and we feel grateful to have made the call to work with them. We 10000% recommend them to anyone, and we will definitely be calling them again for future work.

I selected and hired JLL Builders a couple years ago to make a number of modifications to a new…read morehome we had just bought for my mother in Novato, after hers was destroyed by a mudslide in Southern California. My mom is handicapped and uses a wheelchair, and a number of changes needed to be made to the home to accommodate her needs. I asked Jeff to reverse a number of doors (so they open out, not in), add handicapped bars to the bathrooms and make changes to the glass work of an all-glass shower so it could be used as a roll-in. This was all detail-intensive work that required quality work and an eye for aesthetics, and Jeff's work was basically perfect. Where his work was better than the original construction, he made the whole area better in quality than it was before his work. All the woodwork was flawless, and also the glass work. I was impressed for sure. Best of all, it doesn't look like a "handicapped home" yet it functions as one. Anybody would be happy to live in this house. We also needed to move an inside wall to enlarge a small toilet room (for better wheelchair access) at the expense of a closet. When the work was done' you couldn't tell that it hadn't originally been built that way, the result looked so good! We also needed the entrance between the master bedroom and master bath to to have a door added, and there were on obvious solutions we could think of that worked, especially considering the entrance had an archway. Jeff came up with an ingenious sliding double door that both looks top notch, and is easy to operate by a person in a wheelchair. Brilliant! And if that's not enough, Jeff and his crew also excelled in outdoor work. A concrete wheelchair ramp was added so that my mom could roll up the 12" climb from the sidewalk to the front door. And They also outfitted the back yard with extensive decking. The wood was chosen to be very durable and good looking, and two years later, all the work has held up well. And my final comment is that the cost of all this work was very reasonable. Jeff and his crew cleaned up beautifully, and all work was completed on schedule. Anything that remained to be done, he reliably came back and did it. It's perhaps the best experience I've ever had with a contractor. felt compelled to write this two years later, because I just celebrated thanksgiving at the property. And all his work still looks good as new. And I feel his efforts deserve a good review on Yelp. I would not hesitate to work with Jeff and his crew again.

My neighbor personally recommended me Farallon Company.  Upon thorough research, I discovered that their satisfaction rate was way above their peers. I decided to contact the company. Fernando and Jonathan Oliveira were very professional from the beginning to the end of the project. Their crew worked tirelessly to complete the job, putting in long hours and even working on Saturdays. Whether or not Fernando or his son, Jonathan, was present to oversee their work, the crew remained focused, efficient, and methodical, handling the challenging job with ease despite its difficult conditions. Fernando's expertise, coupled with Jonathan's flexibility, enabled them to navigate any obstacles that arose during the project. I really enjoyed that it is a family-owned business and that Fernando came from Portugal over 40 years ago, bringing with him his knowledge about construction from the old continent to the Bay Area. You can tell he knows what he is talking about when he goes over details with you. I am glad to see his son taking over the business and learning from his dad. I might need excavation work in 2024 on a different property and will definitely use their services again! Thank you!

The wall involved piers going into bedrock 15-20 feet below the soil surface, then a 10 foot retaining wall on top.

They also gave me some complimentary guidance on my future plans with my backyard. During project, their crew were there often onsite for 10+ hour days, sometimes 6 days a week. They even worked through some 100+ degree days. I was always happy to see the consistent progress on the project over the 3 months it took. I would highly recommend Farallon for their attention to detail, execution, and quality.

The exceptional precision that Alex brings to every aspect of construction really shows - flush baseboards, trim and walls are flawless; the seams where countertop meets backsplash in the kitchen and where tiles meet wall and floor in the bathroom are immaculate. Working with Alex was a great collaborative experience. He respected my input and perspectives and didn't condescend like other contractors I've worked with in the past. At the beginning of the project he recommended options for the foundation, framing, and drainage, with cost/benefit information that was really helpful to my decision making, and the finished building is rock solid and will always be snug and dry. His guidance as I selected flooring, lighting, cabinets, HVAC, plumbing, etc. was always spot on. He has an excellent eye for design, color, texture, too - a real plus! - and I'm very happy with the final finishes. I also want to say that Alex was always up front with me and transparent with his invoicing, planning, everything, and I would hire him again without question.

I met Alex through a friend and learned about the services that his company, Beyond Green…read moreConstruction, provides. Alex is a top notch professional; he is very transparent, very knowledgeable about his industry, and passionate about his work. I've worked with him in the last few years for his consulting services for several projects including: 1. Evaluating the current state of my house's electrical wiring, where he provided recommendations (from nice to haves to urgent fixes), rough estimates, and how to review bids. 2. Developing a plan for my drainage in my yard. He and I walked through the lot, pointed out high and low points in my yard, and used tools and instruments to provide accurate measurements. 3. Checking my crawl space for potential structural and foundation issues. After that, he helped me figure out next steps: hiring an engineer, evaluating contractors and their services, and helping me review bids. Since he's been busy, I haven't been able to hire him for major projects for my house, but he's been great to work to get second opinions and additional guidance. However, I am trying to get in his schedule soon to take on a major construction project, since I know that he will deliver high quality results.
