Then in disputing the unapproved billing for dry rot repairs in violation of state law, I asked for a copy of the permit. My work was completed two weeks after my husband died on May 18, but the permit is dated June 29, the day after I requested it--also in violation of state law. Now they apparently are not seeking to finalize the permit while they squeeze me to pay for unapproved work. Be aware, they are very nice people but if they make a mistake they don't want to admit anything.

They put in their contract dry rot will be charged at $125/hr per a worker. However they never updated us or advised us that they encountered dry rot. Carl and Frank came about a week after completion and advised there was dry rot and it was an additional 25 hrs due to dry rot, which with materials was over $4,000 over the contract price. For the work I can see it looks wonderful - however as most people can imagine I was shocked at the final amount over contract. They need to communicate better with customers especially if the contract amount increases at such a rate that might be hard for some homeowners on a limited budget!

I heartily recommend E Rodas Construction…read more I hired Emar to do a major renovation of my home (new kitchen, bathrooms, fireplace, deck, windows, doors, HVAC and more) and outside (new fencing, stairs, concrete pathways, retainer walls, and more). It was all completed to a high standard. I have a demanding work life and a priority for me was I did not want to be sidetracked and/or stressed out over this multi-year project; I got my wish. I actually lived onsite (downstairs) during the upstairs renovation. I was strongly encouraged to move out but I've lived in hotels on the road for many years and I know how old that gets soon. Emar and his crew were so pleasant to be around that they made it easy to get my wish and stay in my home. There are so many reasons to recommend Emar but one of my favorites is my designer and I would regularly come up with new ideas, sometimes unusual ones, and Emar never said no to making them a reality. Early on there was a big one, very high on my wish list, that a prior contractor had said no to - unless I was willing to spend an enormous amount of money - but Emar made it work beautifully at a very reasonable price. Even if a solution to implementing our ideas wasn't obvious instantly, he quicky figured out a way to make it happen and seemed to thrive on these challenges. Emar has superior social and management skills, gets along with everyone, and has the respect of his team and his subcontractors, all who are responsive and don't let him down. Other reasons for recommending Emar are: (1) Everyone on his team was highly skilled and the quality of their work was excellent. (2) He paid attention to the little details as well as the big ones. (3) He and his team were honest. (4) They were respectful of my house & furnishings, covering up floors, removing and/or covering up furniture and bubble wrapping my paintings before storing them. Their end-of-day clean-up was professional and thorough. In short, Emar is a find. My designer recommended/insisted I hire him. I am so glad I did. You'd be very fortunate to have him.

He kept everything on schedule and on budget, which gave us total peace of mind throughout the process.

Everyone was professional, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. We couldn't be happier with the results and would absolutely recommend E Rodas Construction to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled contractor.

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.

The project involved removing a very large custom triangular glass skylight, reframing the slanted cap end of our roof and then installing 4 smaller rectangular skylights within the original triangular footprint. They also replaced our ceiling lights with updated LEDs and were able to troubleshoot a head-scratching electrical wiring issue that impeded our ability to use the original lights. On top of that, they shingled the roof caps; and gave all interior walls and ceilings a fresh coat of paint. All of this was done with top notch professionalism and expertise, excellent communication and exceptional attention to detail. CV Construction was a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to call them for any future projects.

When I began my search for a security door install company, it was quite difficult, because I live in Vallejo, and I didn't see many reputable options. I eventually stumbled upon Den Defenders during my search, and after doing some research on them, and seeing lots of positive reviews, I decided to call, and schedule an appointment with them. For my initial consultation appointment, I was set up with their awesome employee Mike Carson. Mike was the best to work with, as he was a very professional individual, who seemed quite knowledgeable about the products, and services that Den Defenders offered. Mike helped me find the perfect solution for my home, and family's needs, as we needed a door that would allow more airflow into Our home for the hot summers, while keeping out insects, and also being very secure, so that we can sleep without worry of any intruders entering our home. Mike recommended the Viewguard security door, as it appeared to meet all of my family's needs. After Mike educated us on the door, its quality, and its features, We were sold, so we ordered one, and set up an appointment for the install date. When it was install day, My family was very excited, because when we first seen the door, it looked like a very high-quality, and sturdy unit. The install took about a few hours, as my home needed some stucco modification for the door to fit, but the Den Defenders crew had all of the tools/ equipment to get the job done, and they even kept the area clean as they worked, which was a huge relief, and very professional on their part. I'd like to point out that I couldn't be more happier, and satisfied with my purchase, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the market for a high-quality security door installation. Before ending my review, I'd like to personally say a big thank you to Mike Carson for setting everything up, and ensuring a very satisfactory experience for me, and my family. I'd also like to thank the rest of the Den Defenders team for doing an exceptional job (I've included a picture in my review of the two crew members who did my install, and they were awesome, and very professional as well!). If I had to sum up my experience in a single phrase to promote the use of this company, I'd say that "The Den Defenders team delivers a quality product, and top-notch customer service." Thank you Den Defenders, on a job well done!
