This review is soooooo long overdue and I feel like a jerk-hole for not writing it sooner. If…read moreyou've ever had a handy person or contractor do decent work but then you end up swearing for days or weeks because of the huge mess they left behind, your experience with Ace will be a ray of golden sunshine!!! Background: I live in a duplex with shared attic space; it was originally a single family residence with just one attic door. I wanted access to the attic without hassling my neighbors/tenants. Ace not only created a fantastically-functional attic opening, she also took the time and care to make it look beautiful (i.e. like it was part of the original house with decorative trim and multiple coats of paint). But the BEST PART is the care she took to protect my home and and that she left me with no clean-up chores. I've had so much work done on this home and previous homes (small jobs to remodels and major construction). And this is the first time that I've had this experience--of not cursing like a sailor at the dust or grime all over my stuff. Ace did a superb job of containing the dust when she had to drill and cut into the ceiling. I forgot what it's called, but she basically created a tent in the area where she needed to work. There was no drywall dust or sawdust in my storage room or near my laundry area. Bless her!!! She also helped me identify the source of some cracks in my ceiling. They were there before she started her work, so I cropped the photo of my new attic opening. Did I mention that she's nice, easy-going, and that she patiently answered all of my questions? Did I mention that she was very communicative and pro-active in giving me updates on her arrival time, etc.? If you haven't figured it out yet, I was and still am extremely freaking happy with her work and her work ethic. I will definitely be hiring her again.

This review is embarrassingly overdue, but better late than never. Ace did an amazing job with my…read moreprimary bath remodel; living/dining, bath and kitchen painting (with some demo work to remove built-in cabinetry); recessed lighting installation; and some custom carpentry (e.g., bench for primary bath shower, countertop between kitchen and dining area, sleeping den for my dog with a nice sliding door). This project required a lot of attention to detail and workmanship, and together we navigated through the whole project successfully with a couple of curve balls along the way. I appreciated Ace's proactiveness in planning and communication. Her small team is efficient and and reliable, and overall the work done was a great value. I am very happy with my updated living spaces, which make my home feel like a sanctuary! I highly recommend Ace with Kannon Construction and would definitely use her services again.

I asked for a few quotes from different companies on a new heat pump system, and thought Alex had a…read morereally smart, modern approach to heating and cooling. Compared to the other two companies I got quotes from, the system All Things Good ended up installing was both cheaper and more energy efficient, further reducing my costs. Now I am really happy with the heat pump and new ducts. So I would say they are great HVAC company with long-time employees that are knowledgeable, considerate, and super hard working.

I hired this company to do the work on my house that was recommended in a home energy assessment…read morecompleted last year. Initially Alex Minaboo, the owner, came to look the job over and in that visit recommended replacing all the heating ducts in the house. He tried to sell me a heat pump system which I did not want to do since the existing furnace is only three years old. There was nothing in the home energy assessment report indicating I needed to replace the furnace or the ducts. A few weeks later, the foreman (I think that is his role) came by to assess the job, and said he did not think the ducts needed to be replaced as they were still quite new. I opted to not replace the ducts but to proceed with the air sealing of the heating system that was recommended in the home energy assessment. Alex later said the air sealing could cause a problem for the furnace, which he said was too large for this size house. He suggested that adding an additional heat register might mitigate a potential problem with rapid cycling, and I opted to do this. In the course of All Things Good sealing the heating ducts and adding the new register, the blower on the furnace stopped working. Alex deflected and denied responsibility for his company causing the problem, disparaged another company that had installed the furnace, and argued that his company could not be held responsible for damages when something breaks in an old house while they are working on it, referring me to a clause in their contract. To fix the furnace, All Things Good charged $1200.00 in labor costs (for a job that took no more than 2 hours on site) and the blower was about $700 more). I have always thought "if you break it, you fix it" and I was floored by how this was being handled, but since I do not know HVAC systems and could not in good conscience argue that I was certain the breakdown was caused by their work, I proposed we split the bill for fixing the furnace. My offer was refused. Alex then had the gall to argue he was already giving me a discount on labor costs, and threatened that if I did not pay he would put a lien on my house. I paid the bill because it was not worth my time to fight with All Things Good. I see a number of positive reviews here and at least one that is like mine. My experience was very unsatisfactory and I will certainly never use this company again.

I had a great experience with Bama Builders. Jose helped me evaluate some severe cracks in my…read moregarage slab-on-grade and assess the adjacent house foundation. He was very courteous, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He walked me through the entire evaluation, answered all my questions, and explained the potential causes of the cracks in a way that was easy to understand. He was also very easy to talk to and never pushy about getting the repairs done right away, which I really appreciated. He's very professional, and his prices are very reasonable. I will definitely consider Jose for the repairs. Highly recommended!

We have worked with Jose Madrid on multiple projects over several years, and I honestly cannot say…read moreenough good things about him and his team. Years ago when I was looking for someone, I read the reviews closely, and some folks wrote some great and 100% true stuff about Jose (who also owns Madriz Tree Services), so I'm here to pay it forward. Our first project was a big one: we needed a large tree removed because the roots were actively damaging not just the sidewalk, but the street itself. Jose and his team did a beautiful job removing the tree, repairing the sidewalk, and fixing the road. The root structure was massive, and yet, three years later, nothing has popped back up through the sidewalk or street. Since then, we've hired Jose for several additional projects. He repaired our front stairs with a design that was clean and perfectly matched the aesthetic of our house. He also removed an old fireplace and seamlessly repaired the flooring. Whatever wood and technique he used, it genuinely looks like the fireplace was never there. Most recently, Jose built us a stunning, high-end spa bathroom. It includes a beautiful sauna and an integrated electronic system that controls heat and music. (He actually invited us to visit another open house where he had built a similar sauna and we appreciated being about to see and touch it all first.) Throughout the entire process, Jose was incredibly communicative. He sent regular updates and photos, flagged issues early, and when we needed to make decisions, he sent us thoughtful options and walked us through the pros and cons. The final result clearly reflects both our preferences and his design expertise. It's beautiful. One thing that really stands out about Jose is his attention to detail and problem-solving. For example, during the tree removal, he noticed damage to some underground pipes. He stopped the concrete work, coordinated the pipe repair, fixed it properly, and only then completed the job. He's knowledgeable across multiple areas, and when unexpected issues come up (which they always do in older homes), he knows how to handle them. For context, we live in a small California bungalow built in 1915, so surprises are part of the package. Jose consistently worked with what the house gave us and found solutions. It's worth noting that Jose is in high demand, so projects can take time. That said, the quality of his work is stellar, and for us, it has always been worth the wait. I would 100% recommend Jose for anything from tree removal and concrete repair to high-end interior renovations. His expertise, responsiveness, communication, and final craftsmanship are all excellent - and it pricing was highly competitive!

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.

5-Star Review for ProModeling…read more I hired ProModeling and Guy, the owner, to help me convert the lower level of my home into a professional office space where I can meet with clients. I originally considered building an ADU in my backyard, but after deciding that the cost was too high for now, the team helped me pivot seamlessly to improving my existing space instead. They completed minor electrical and plumbing updates to the bathroom off the office, and they also remodeled the entrance to make it more welcoming and accessible for in-person clients. Throughout the entire process, they were timely, responsive, easy to communicate with, and stayed within the estimated budget--which I really appreciated. The finished space feels polished, functional, and exactly what I hoped for. If I ever decide to move forward with the ADU in the future, I will absolutely be hiring ProModeling
