Testimonial for Tony Tran Construction
Our family purchased…read morea duplex in San Jose last year as a rental investment property. We were very happy with the rental income, and because the property had a nice-sized backyard, we decided to build an ADU to further increase its value and income potential.
We searched through Yelp to find a contractor who could help us with everything from the design process to obtaining permits from the City of San Jose. We wanted a contractor who could turn our vision into reality without unnecessary headaches or complications--and that was not too much to ask.
We interviewed three contractors before meeting Tony and ultimately selected him for our project. Trust and honesty are extremely important to our family. What immediately set Tony apart was his calm, professional manner and his honesty. From our first meeting, we felt that we could trust him.
Tony operates a small company, which we really appreciated because he was our primary point of contact throughout the project. We never had to go through a receptionist, manager, or superintendent just to get answers to our questions.
Tony brought in his designer, Jimmy Dinh, to help us develop the ADU layout. He also immediately submitted an application to PG&E for a new 100-amp electrical panel. Tony explained that obtaining power from PG&E was one of the most critical parts of the project--and his experience proved to be absolutely right.
Tony also handled the inspection scheduling. As we learned, San Jose has many construction projects but not enough inspectors, and the normal waiting period for an inspection can be three to four weeks. Tony scheduled our inspections well in advance, which helped us avoid unnecessary delays.
Once Tony obtained the permit from the City of San Jose, his team began the foundation footings the very next day. One thing we particularly appreciated was that his crew worked six days a week and stayed with our project until it was completed. We never experienced the frustration of having workers constantly leave our project to work somewhere else.
Working with Tony and his team was truly a pleasure. We never had arguments or major problems, and there was always a positive atmosphere throughout the construction process.
Ben, Tony's partner and superintendent, supervised the entire project. His knowledge and experience in construction were exceptional. We always felt that our project was in very capable hands.
Communication was another one of Tony's greatest strengths. Whenever we had a question or concern, Tony responded to our calls or text messages promptly. We felt very fortunate to have selected him as our contractor. He genuinely cares about his customers and consistently goes the extra mile to make sure they are satisfied.
Tony even accompanied our family when we went shopping for materials. He patiently helped us select everything from kitchen cabinets and shower panels to the bathroom vanity, toilets, vinyl flooring, interior doors, sliding glass doors, and floor tiles. He personally guided us toward quality choices and helped us take advantage of his contractor discounts, which saved us money.
When the project was completed, our family was extremely happy with the results. The new ADU exceeded our expectations. We love everything about it--from the beautiful kitchen and backsplash to the bathrooms, flooring, doors, and painting. The finished unit is beautiful, comfortable, and functional, and we are very proud of our new rental property.
Even more importantly, our tenants absolutely love the ADU. They enjoyed living there so much that they decided to extend their lease for another six months. They told us they never expected to find a brand-new rental that was so beautiful and comfortable.
We would like to sincerely thank Tony and his entire team for all the hard work, care, professionalism, and personal attention they put into our project.
If you are considering building an ADU or taking on a major construction project, we would not hesitate to recommend Tony Tran Construction. We are very happy that we chose Tony, and we would gladly work with him again.
Thank you very much, Tony, for everything you and your team did for our family.
Sincerely,
Thomas & Marie, David & Jennifer
