I'm a doctor, and I recently worked with Ingenious General Construction on a home addition (garage extension, master bathroom, and master bedroom). I was impressed by their exceptional professionalism, clear plans, detailed project and payment schedules, end-to-end coordination with Carlos handling sourcing and execution, 3-D design visualization by their designer, excellent communication from Karla, clean on-site work, and overall high level of excellence, to the point that I would highly recommend them to family and coworkers for a seamless, all-in-one service; tip: ask about their end-to-end service package early to ensure design, permits, materials, and scheduling align with your timeline. read more

Carlos was able to bid and complete a bathroom remodel for me within an ambitious timeframe and budget. The bathroom was original to my condo -- 35 years old -- and desperately in need of an update. His team were so friendly, hardworking, very respectful of my home, and did a great job cleaning up at the end. I'm grateful for their expertise and how well they worked with minimal supervision, since I left during the day for work. Having this project finished feels like a dream come true! Highly recommend. read more

Our neighbor recommended Carlos from Ingenious to come out when a section of our fence fell during the high wind storms. With a pool on our property it was very important to get it fixed immediately. Ingenious came out with a very reasonable bid and was able to do the work the next day. After they left I noticed we had a section of fencing on the other side of our yard that fell during the same storm. They were able to fix it on the same day and button up our yard. While they were here I had them take a look at installing a new retaining wall and it came out fantastic! They did the work at the same time as the fence and it turned out very nice. They put in proper drainage behind the wall to make sure it will last. Next time I need work done, Carlos will be my first call. read more

Contractors.....they can really make you scream. Carlos hasn't made me scream yet. That's super valid internet fam! His people have done two jobs for us so far. One run of cement in the front of the house. And one run of cement in the back of the house. Both were the middle bid but, listen to me here - the guy answers his text messages and I can pay him on Zelle. That is huge! Do I want to spend like 5 weeks trying to coordinate with some dude about picking up a check from a mailbox or some other kind of nonsense shenanigan? - no very much I do not! I reallllllllly appreciate the speed and organization with which things happen with Carlos! He sends the bid. We agree on the bid. He sends a dude. The job gets done. I pay him. And at least, at the time of writing this, he is willing to take smallish jobs. A+ read more

Carlos & his team have done a number of projects for us over the last 3 years ranging from a complete remodel of the back yard (retaining wall, pavers, pergola, sprinklers, grass, etc) to small jobs (electrical work, plumbing repair, drywall, etc). Carlos is very quick to respond and reasonably priced, and the quality of his work is very good. I have recommended him to several family and friends who need work done and I have a long list of projects to for him in the future! read more

Carlos and his team did an amazing job on our pergola and other wood work. I've used dozens of contractors over the years and they executed quickly and were very reliable. I'll be using them again, and recommending them to my friends and clients. read more

Another project with Ingenious in the books and we couldn't be happier. They built a deck off our front porch and it looks amazing. We are extremely happy with it. We've worked with Carlos since 2019 and will continue to work with him as we move through projects at our house. Thanks Ingenious! read more

Carlos and his team are amazing ! I contacted them with the need to landscape yard done asap. Carlos came the same day to give us a quote. He offered some suggestions and gave us not only a realistic timeline, but a competitive price. Carlos was able to come sooner than he originally expected and finished the project within the timeframe given. The crew was polite , showed up , and cleaned up every day. I one million percent recommend ingenious construction and have referred a few people already. Thank you so much to Carlos and the team. I will add more pics once we get the flowers in. read more

Carlos and his team was great. After speaking to Carlos on the phone he came by that same evening to b take measurements. His guy came the next day and started working. They made sure that the job was completed on time so that the HVAC company can come in right behind them to do their work. They are very professional and prompt. arrive when they say b they're gonna arrive. Estimate was fair and comparable to other companies Will definately call them again for any future repairs. read more

IGC came out and did a quote for our landscaping project. After we informed the representative that we wanted to hire them, IGC became almost non-communicative. They weren't responding to email, and text communication was spotty. They wouldn't follow-up with requests they made so we decided to go with another landscaper instead. read more

Lost a couple sections of my fence during one of our March storms. I thought the job might be too small for a good contractor, but a friend turned me on to Juan Carlos. Quick response, a very fair estimate, and then he had one of his crew, Andres, do a thorough and complete repair, doing extra improvements while on the job. Highly recommend. read more

At first glance it all seemed good but my pavers have separated in several places (half an inch gaps). In one border corner it has sunk and looks like it's about to fall off. Every couple weeks I have to fill the holes between the pavers. At this point I should've gone with cement stamping. I initially thought it was great they finished the job within a couple days but now I feel the foundation wasn't done correctly. The guys are very nice but constantly having to fill in these pavers has been very frustrating. I think their cement is good despite a couple hairline cracks. read more

Carlos came and gave us a bid for some paver repair work and building a step. He was very reasonable and his guys did great work. read more

We needed to redo our backyard (mostly involving building a wood deck, retaining wall, turf installation, and cement pouring) and requested several estimates. Carlos was quick to respond and provided a bid that's in the middle among a few others. Carlos was knowledgeable and professional and even made some good suggestion in the initial quoting process, which was why we decided to go with IGC. Carlos and his team started the job fairly quickly and were able to finish on time. The deck and retaining wall work were particularly impressive. While we ran into a few small unexpected problems due to weather and previous house setup, Carlos and his team were flexible and resourceful. They were easy to communicate and always came up with effective solutions. We would definitely hire them again for future home improvement projects! And highly recommend their work too! read more

We could'nt be more pleased with our new retaining wall. It was a pleasure working with Carlos as well as his workers. They were all awesome. They were always on time, clean, super hard workers and multi-taskers. Ingenious Construction does such a wide variety of projects that ours seems small in comparison. Highly recommended! read more

We called Carlos for our hot water, pressure issues, and to change our tub to a shower. I received my quote the same day, and he started work the following week. His crew is always on time and cleans up after themselves at the end of the day. His prices are reasonable and he is easy to work with. I recommend using Carlos for any of your construction needs. read more

After meeting with several contractors we decided to go with Ingenious general construction for our new addition/ADU constructions We not only love our new bathroom, kitchen and laundry room but we loved the experience of working with carlos and his crew (project managers, designer , Engeneer) Carlos was a fantastic communicator and when we ran into issues he had solutions ready to go and most impostando Our project was delivered on time.

Carlos and his team brought our dream kitchen to life. We live in a home built in the 1940s that had never been updated. Carlos and team took out the walls separating our kitchen, dining room and living room and opened our living space. It is beautiful! I've attached photos to see for yourself. They were all so nice and very hardworking. They were full of suggestions and never declined a single request we wanted to be done. If we wanted something, in particular, they made sure it happened; no questions asked. We look forward to working with these guys again as we have many future projects on the horizon. read more

Carlos & his team converted our garage into an ADU and finished way ahead of schedule. His team was always early and worked tirelessly every day to make sure the ADU conversion for my mother was done to her satisfaction. They were very patient and extremely knowledgeable. Their customer service exceeded our expectations. He was easily available over the phone and through text. Friendly and very professional. Hoping to use them very soon again for our landscaping project and future projects. Will recommend to our neighbors and friends! read more

These guys have the best price for concrete I found. Fast cheap and good. I recommend

We were introduced to Carlos through a neighbor down the street and his crew helped us rebuilt a retaining wall and fence. They did a STELLAR job on both and did it shockingly quick. We are so happy with his work that we actually hired him for additional work and plan to have him do pavers in our yard. Also, we ran into a few issues with the county (my fault) and Carlos worked with us to make everything right...absolutely first class. I can't recommend him enough! read more

We have worked with Ingenious on several occasions for work both inside and outside our home. They fully remodeled our kitchen, added a retaining wall, handcrafted a custom fence, installed a new sliding door, removed and added new windows, laid sod, relocated our irrigation system, relocated our ac, poured concrete to create an outdoor living space, and most recently added ceiling fans to 4 rooms and sconces on the wall on either side of our master bed. We absolutely love working with them. They are patient and have amazing design ideas, pointing out things we never would have thought of. Their prices are reasonable and fair, especially considering they work so efficiently and are THE MOST reliable company we've ever worked with (we've remodeled 2 other homes in the past and have never had a company this responsive and prompt). They are exceptionally professional. Every worker is friendly and accommodating to all our requests. We have several future projects lined up and will only use Ingenious. Give them a call, you will NOT be disappointed. read more

Glad to have my son contacted ingenious as part of our home remodeling/improvements. We are pleased and very satisfied with the work ethics. We'll definitely refer to our family and friends. We are still looking forward for more work done. read more

We had great experience working with Carlos at Ingenious General Construction company. Carlos was very professional and delivered the project at good speed of time. Due to heavy down pours in bay area recently, our house roof had leaked and soaked the walls and carpets at one corner of the house. He provided services for insulation, installation of dry walls, mudding, texturing and painting the ceiling and the walls. I will work with him again on future projects at our house. His services were reasonably priced compared to other contractors in my recent search which is a good plus for him. read more

Carlos and his crew were great to work with! They did the excavation and concrete work in my front yard which included pathways to my side gates and steps that outlined my driveway. They also helped cap some sprinklers. They got it all done in 2 days. They took my vision and design and made it look great! read more

So glad we found Ingenious General Construction on Yelp. Our front yard was covered in tanbark and overrun with weeds following all the heavy rain. We wanted to replace the tanbark with rocks and reached out to several different companies via Yelp. Ingenious General Construction was one of the few who had a verified license, and Carlos provided a fair quote in a timely manner. He was very knowledgeable, and his awesome team was able to get everything done in one day. We're really happy with their work and have already reached out for another project. I wish we took a "before" picture but am also glad that we didn't since our front yard was starting to look pretty wild. read more

We were scammed by Carlos. We got a quote for 162 feet to complete a shared fence with our neighbor. He completed 63 feet of the fence and said he was coming back to finish he remaining portion. I was going to be out of town so I left a check in the mailbox for the final amount. He told me his wife picked it up and he would come back another day to fix it. It has been weeks and now he refuses to answer our calls. We are left with a half completed fence and he has skipped out. Fraud. Will be seeking legal damages. Beware. read more

If you want a home project done well and in a timely manner, this group is the way to go! I had concrete work and partial landscaping done and.. wow what a difference, amazing. After the work was completed, my neighbors asked who had done the work and that they want to do business as well. Very satisfied customer here and will be a repeat customer for the foreseeable future! read more

Carlos and team were great. They installed a wrap around redwood fence and painted a masonry wall below. I am really pleased with the resulting work and look for the finished fence. I found Carlos and his team to be prompt, efficient and detail oriented. They actually came in to do it in lieu of my landscape contractor because it was way more efficient and cost effective. I would definitely recommend Carlos for any landscaping projects. read more

Carlos and team have been great to work with. They built a retaining wall and bbq for us. After several years of not using our backyard area, we are thrilled with the results and can't wait to hold our first bbq in the new yard. The prices were fair and work was completed in a timely manner. read more

Referred to Carlos by a neighbor and hired his team to do front and backyard pavers (including steps), artificial grass, sitting wall, gates, and other landscape items. Very happy with the results! Used to have a weed garden front and back and now proud to invite people to our house. Daughters are playing in the backyard constantly when it used to be wasted space. Communication with Carlos by text and phone is prompt and clear, pricing is fair and reasonable, and work is very good. Super fast too. I was a little skeptical of the timeline he gave us and he got it done. He is super on top of ordering materials on schedule so they are ready for his team to do the work. Carlos was good with helping us finalize our design ideas too. Minor problems came up as we were finishing and Carlos was quick to respond and fix them. I work with a lot of contractors and Carlos is one of the best. Looking forward to our next project with Carlos and team... keep up the great work! read more

Juan Carlos and his crew work together like a well oiled machine. On day 1, six guys showed up to demo and remove an old concrete pathway and brick retaining wall in my backyard and they spent the remainder of the first week laying down pavers. I was impressed by how fast they work while doing a great job cutting pavers to fit perfectly around every odd thing in my garden. Week 2 was installing my beautiful new deck, which Juan Carlos did himself with some helpers. The best part is they seem to really love working together and were having fun the whole time. That's a good sign when the workers are happy. There are cheaper contractors out there but I learned the hard way to go with the ones who pay their employees a living wage even if it's a bit more expensive. The quality of the craftsmanship and ease of communication is worth the extra in the long run. Juan Carlos is very professional and easy to work with. He stood out from the rest of the contractors i met with because he understood my vision right away and helped me come up with ideas for the deck. He communicates clearly and responds quickly to any questions or concerns. I HIGHLY recommend going with Ingenious Construction. read more

This is a long overdue review and I am so happy for those that were able to give this company five stars. We hired Juan Carlos partly on the recommendation of a co worker and his bid which was not the most expensive but he was not the least expensive of the four. First impression was great and he came with another gentleman by the name of Saul. We were under the impression that Saul was also a licensed contractor and was told he would be managing our remodel. We hired them to remodel two bathrooms both small with no change in the foot print. Turns out he was not but we were not aware until we were ready for the first inspection and Saul was not able to sign the paperwork. They caused more damage to our home then we paid for the job itself which was well over $12,000 for labor. They damaged our wood floors with the tape they used it pulled up the finish. $42.00 sq ft tiles were installed crooked. They damaged our brand new spa tub when they dropped a tool on it which I witnessed and they took responsibilty for. The kept climbing in and out of our master bedroom window damaging the window sill even after being asked not to. At least $200.00 of expensive shower pan tiles were found in a trash heap. Apparently the installer wasn't very skilled at installing penny tiles. Grout is missing between tiles to which Juan Carlos responded we gave you a good price and water won't get through it's ok. They left trash, nails, pieces of glass, tiles, nails, broken mirror all over. The bathroom fan was installed incorrectly. It took me over six months to get them to come back and repair my tub and when they did it was laughable. They sent a so called big company to refinish the tub and they made it look worse then when it did with just the dent. He was supposed to pay the man who came out but did not and he demanded we pay before he left which we refused. We notified Juan Carlos of the extremely poor job that was done and he said don't worry I will have another company come out and fix it. Ended up being the same company just a different man. When he came back to fix the floor he had a pack of markers in his hand and proceeded to color in all the damage they caused. Didn't work and I now have to have my entire entry way replaced. The bathroom plumbing was installed incorrectly and we had to hire a plumber to come and fix it. It should have been caught during the inspection but obviously they were not very thorough. I wish we had never spent our hard earned money with this company. We did go with higher end tiles, faucets, toilets and maybe they take a higher level of skill to install. I would sue them but it would be a waste of time, they won't even fix the damages they caused or return calls. If you hire these guys watch them like a hawk and make sure if something is not right don't trust them to come back and make it right. Really poor service and very disappointed they made such a great first impression. read more

Best choice My back yard was in a tremendous need of an upgrade.. it was empty and dry.. I called carlos for a quote for synthetic grass. After he finished the job I noticed his quality of work and how affordable it was..I love it so much I continued to add more projects like irrigation system, pavers, flag stone. concrete and plants. It's nice to find someone who can do all that without trying to find other people.. I ended with a beautiful result and lots of compliments from my neighbors and family members.. I really recommend carlos and his team. They are so reliable and responsable and above all very honest. read more

In honor of the never ending drought, we wanted our lawn removed. The Ingenious Construction crew did a great job removing the lawn and planting our succulents.

My husband and I were in desperate need of a bathroom remodel. We wanted to bring our master bath from 70's drab to 2017 fab. We did our homework and interviewed numerous companys. We found this company very professional. Our MB experience turned out so well we had them continue on with our guest bath. The attention to detail, flexability, trustworthiness and workmanship were all there throughout the process. We constantly get compliments on our bathrooms we couldn't be happier and would definitely recommend this company. read more
