concrete 5/2025
Tom Y.

When my sister and I decided to have concrete work done, we called Ecostar; our decision was based on a flyer we received at the front door. Our sales meeting with Tom Goldring convinced us that we made the right call. He was personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. After listening to our request, he gave us a few options. Once we decided on a plan, everything began to fall into place. Tom's timeline, total cost, and outcome were spot-on. He was in constant contact with us - in person, or by text, letting us know what has happened that day, and what will be happening over the next few days. On one or two occasions, Tom's supervisor, Jacob Suissa, showed up to give some suggestions, and to review the progress. He was friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. When the crew showed up, everyone was efficient and professional. They were respectful of us and the neighbors, and always cleaned up each day. On the last day, they made sure the yard and surrounding area was clean and free of any debris or unused materials. It looked as though they had never been there. It seemed like, between Tom and Jacob, there was only one way to do the job......the right way. Although i don't remember them actually saying that, it seemed to be the theme of the whole job. Whenever we would tell Tom "thank you", his response was always "of course!" - with a smile. If and when we need any other work done, we will definitely call Ecostar, and cross our fingers that we have Tom as our guy again!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Eli and Tali from Ecostar for a large project in my front yard, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive. - **Expertise**: Eli and Tali brought a wealth of knowledge to the project, helping me choose the best options for my yard. Their suggestions really enhanced the overall design. - **Quality of Work**: The quality of their work is outstanding. They transformed my front yard into a beautiful space that I can enjoy for years to come. - **Communication**: Throughout the entire process, they communicated clearly and were always responsive to my questions and concerns. - **Timeliness**: They completed the project on schedule, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Eli and Tali from Ecostar to anyone looking for reliable and skilled professionals for their landscaping projects. Thank you, Ecostar, for a job well done!

Pavers laid on side of the house.

EcoStar replied to my Yelp Project request for doing 700 square feet of pavers. They replied within 24 hours and upon my reply, arranged for phone contact. The job required removal of old red brick, removal of old leveling substrate, compacting the surface, distributing leveling sand, and installing the concrete pavers. Pavers were supplied by me. Removal of the old sand and bricks were done by EcoStar. They had the most reasonable quote and had someone (Eli) come out to measure and make sure that the scope of work was understood. I had purchased pavers for the project two years prior and just didn't have the time and energy to do the project myself. In retrospect, I should have allowed EcoStar to supply the pavers, as they would have been able to secure better materials than what I procured through Home Depot. Work was done by a small team and finished in a timely manner. Old bricks that had been removed were stacked nicely and then reused. My neighbors liked the work so much that they hired EcoStar, so I supplied my old bricks - reuse at its best. They did what they said they would and did a nice enough job to get the attention of the neighbors. I would likely call upon them in the future for other construction work.

I needed a tall custom window replaced in my Oakland home on a specific schedule due to roommates. EcoStar gave me an on-the-spot quote, I paid a deposit and a subcontractor came the next day to take measurements. I was told the window would take 3 weeks to arrive. In the meantime, the sales rep contacted me several times, wanting me to meet his boss on the day of installation which I found pushy and unwelcome. They wanted to offer me discounts on additional work which I explained I was not ready nor looking for more work right away. During installation, they asked for another payment. I noticed a 5% credit card surcharge, which is illegal in California as of July 2024 (Senate Bill 478). I had to cite the law, but the rep insisted it was disclosed, therefore permitted. Not true. After installation, upon examining the work, I noticed the window had a green tint that I did not request. Completely inappropriate for a north-facing small room with just one window and the scope of work DID state "clear" glass. On the same day, the rep urged me to sign their completion paperwork. When I explained that their contract says I have five days to use the product before signing their completion form, he persisted, wanting to know why I would not sign immediately. I then requested the manufacturer warranty, which their documents say I am entitled to. When I asked for a window brand name, I was told Premier Windows. I had to leave several additional voice mail requests, and then only received a vague one page warranty - with no brand mentioned - that arrived via text one full week later. This experience did not instill confidence. Afterward I checked the BBB and saw 8 complaints in three years. Most were met with defensive responses, rather than accountability. It seems clear this team does not understand the business concept of "the customer is always right." Between the sales pressure tactics, the questionable added surcharge (that was not on the original quote,) the lack of transparency about the manufacturer and the delayed product warranty, plus receiving a green-tinted window when I thought I was getting a clear window, I doubt I would work with EcoStar again. They did not offer the professionalism I initially thought I would receive.

After receiving a fair quote for installing a new stair rail Eli, Tony, and the Ecostar crew did a great Jon in executing the dismantling of the old stairs and the installation of the new. They were mindful of keeping the project site as clean as can be expected, and they completed the project in 2 days instead of the estimated 3. The quality of the work is very good, and I'll use this crew on future projects.

New garage ceiling! No more insulation to be seen!
Brooke M.

Johnny and his team did a phenomenal job on all the projects we hired them for! We got a new roof on our garage, a new ceiling inside the garage, a 150ft of custom white picket fence in our front yard, and new door seals on our front and back doors, just in time for winter. The work was done impeccably and in a very timely fashion. We are so happy with the value and work quality. Not to mention that all the workers were so clean, polite, helpful and kind. Cannot recommend EcoStar and their financing programs enough. We are over the moon! Thank you Johnny! It's been a pleasure working with you and your team!

part of our new shower
Sydney P.

We worked with Johnny and redid our main floor bathroom. We started with a three legged, claw foot tub and a shower with four different decades worth of tile. We ended up with a gorgeous, functional space that feels more like a spa, versus a bathroom. The bid was accurate even when pipes needed to be moved, support beams changed. I appreciated that the bid took into account that our 1918 craftsman was probably going to have a few hiccups but that it wouldn't affect us, simply was handled. We started this in early January, our city took about a month for the permit and 4 weeks later we have wrapped it up. Our glass door will be installed in the morning. I recommend Johnny and Ecostar without hesitation and look forward to a 2025 kitchen remodel with them.

Open, clean, and very pleasing to work in my upgraded kitchen.

How long does a small bathroom remodel take from start to finish? Does Ecostar devote a crew to one project from beginning to end so that the work is finished in a timely manner rather than spreading their crews around on several projects?

Hi - we did ours in about six weeks, for two bathrooms. It was a bit longer than expected because the inspection/permit process was delayed by the City and work had to halt (not anyone's fault). And yes, one crew for the project. The crew was with… Read more

IB Roofing was the clear best choice of the four bids I received to re-roof my Rockridge house…read more Their pricing was excellent for the quality we wanted, and Israel, the owner, was great to work with: punctual, transparent, patient, responsive, and never pushy. He clearly explained what was necessary versus what was optional, and I never felt upsold. When additional issues came up, including the need to replace roof decking before the shingles could go on, Israel reached out immediately. Even with that added scope, the total cost still ended up roughly in line with the next lowest bid, which had not included decking. He also went above and beyond on a skylight repair by having his crew prime the interior area to make things easier for the next crew. To top it off, when the job was done, Israel walked the roof with me and explained everything that had been completed. All around, this was an ideal contractor experience. I would absolutely recommend IB Roofing.

My neighbor, who is an electrician and electrical contractor (retired), recommended IB Roofing…read more They re-roofed his home not too long ago and he was pleased with the job they did. When I was climbing around on the roof installing Christmas lights I saw its condition and realized it needed replacing. I contacted IBR and German came out quickly to take a look and shared some initial observations, along with some preliminary options. A few days later he sent estimates on each option, clear and straightforward. I opted for the larger job of taking off the existing shingles--even though it was the first layer--and replacing any plywood as needed. I could have just had them put shingles on top of the existing roof but decided to go for the completely new roof, for peace of mind. I also added a skylight to the job, and German answered all my questions about the product details and costs. German and Israel responded quickly to questions, and communication throughout the job was great. The crew started on a Monday morning at 8am and finished by late afternoon on Tuesday. They even worked around my Christmas lights that were still in place! Overall I was super pleased with their work and the finished results. Fyi, payment is a $1000 deposit, half of the the amount upon starting and the rest on completion. City permit fees are extra.

Equinox Roofing - New Shingle Roof

Getting two new commercial roofs was a big deal for my partnership and there are lots of details…read morewhich concerned us. We went with Equinox and I am so happy we did-the price was excellent, the job was done really well, we had two commercial tenants which required specific scheduling and they were well accommodated for, and both roofs look great and, since its been a few months with rain, we know they are both sturdy. I could not be more satisfied and we have a couple of projects coming up in the next year and will definitely use them. We now have a roofer for any needs. My highest recommendations for Ben and Equinox!

We recently had our entire roof replaced by Equinox Roofing and had a really positive experience…read morefrom start to finish. Dave was our project manager and he was great to work with. He explained the process clearly, answered all of our questions, and kept us updated throughout the project. The crew was always on time, very professional, and respectful of our property. They worked efficiently and what stood out to us was how clean they kept the area around the house during the project. At the end of each day they made sure everything was picked up, which we really appreciated. The project moved along smoothly and the roof replacement was completed within the timeframe we were given. The finished result looks great and we're very happy with the quality of the work. For a full roof replacement, the pricing felt fair for the quality and service we received. Overall, it was a solid experience and we're glad we chose Equinox Roofing for the project. Adding here pictures Dave were sending to us throughout the whole process.

Just recently completed an entire fascia replacement and new gutter installation with Hernandez…read moreRoofing (Alex and his team) and all I can say was that I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. After screening 5 different contractors, I've decided to go with Hernandez's Roofing and I was so glad that I made the right decision. Of the 5 contractors, Hernandez Roofing offered the best price for the project. During the demo they discovered some wood that needed to be replaced or repaired and the additional amount was very minimal. Alex's crew were very well trained, knowledgeable and well organized. They clean up daily after work and are always on time to start the day. If I have another roofing project, I would definitely contact Alex again. Hernandez Roofing (Alex) and his team are highly recommended!

Exceptional customer service and communication from start to finish…read more I requested several quotes to tarp our roof since we're still unsure about the long-term plans for the house. Most companies either declined the job as a standalone project or pushed for a full roof replacement instead. Alex reached out the next day for a bit more information, and shortly after, he sent a detailed quote for tarping the roof, complete with photos of the area he planned to work on. My husband was impressed; we're pretty sure he was the only one who actually climbed up on a ladder to inspect the roof, which our neighbor later confirmed. His team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and did an excellent job. After they finished, Alex sent another set of photos, which I truly appreciated since I wouldn't have been able to see the work from the ground. I highly recommend Hernandez's Roofing to anyone in need of roofing services. Their professionalism, quality of work, and outstanding customer service exceeded my expectations!

Scammers! These guys told me there were 2 options for fixing…read morea small roof leak - an expensive permanent fix or a temporary fix for a bit cheaper. I was told that the temporary fix would definitely get me through this season but not the next and the permanent fix would last until I get a new roof. I was considering getting a new roof, which they knew about, and provided a quote for, so I paid for the temporary fix only. The very next day it rains and it's clear the "fix" didn't work. I ask them to return and actually fix the leak this time so they come back and haphazardly throw some more tar on the roof. It doesn't rain for another 2 weeks but the moment it starts raining, the leak shows up again. This time when I ask them to come back, I'm told I need to sign a contract with them to replace the entire roof and that there are no refunds for the faux leak repair. CROOKS! Don't waste your money. Pay someone who knows what they're doing. Not this inexperienced father and son duo who will cheat you out of your money. Edit to address business response: I am thoroughly disappointed that you claim to state facts in your response. I was told specifically that the temporary fix would "100% resolve the leak". I was told the cause of leak was evident and the temporary fix would prevent leakage for the rest of this rainy season. I was given two options for repair - neither of which involved a full roof replacement. I was told the more expensive "repair" would last until I decided to replace my roof. I chose the less expensive option since I did intend on replacing the roof at some point. When your claims about the repair turned out to be false, you came a second time and explained why the temporary fix was inadequate. You then explained how the remediation performed that day would "absolutely fix the problem". This has nothing to do with the structural integrity of my roof or its age. There was no indication that the roof needed to be replaced immediately. The home water heater was recently updated and replaced. The area around its exhaust vent was likely damaged during replacement causing the leak immediately above the water heater. If you provided facts at the time of repair I would not be upset about your work and tactics. I was told the leak would be stopped with your repair. Period. It was not. I guess you get what you pay for. What made this worse was that you then tried to make me sign a contract for a FULL roof replacement locking me into your low quality services. Why on earth would I allow you to do anymore work on my roof when you lied to my face about the leak and your workman quality is clearly subpar? You also offer no kind of guarantee on your work so the risk is too high.

I requested a quote for flat roof replacement after discovering a leak and someone came out on the…read moresame day! For our job, I got 3 quotes. The first one was from a bigger company with lots of reviews and the other one was a smaller company like Astro. The smaller company basically gave me the same quote as Astro. The bigger company quoted me at 3X higher. I feel confident that Astro would have done a great job for us as well.
