Beyond Green Construction recently completed a one-bedroom, 600 square foot ADU in my backyard in…read moreAdams Point. It is beautiful! The exceptional precision that Alex brings to every aspect of construction really shows - flush baseboards, trim and walls are flawless; the seams where countertop meets backsplash in the kitchen and where tiles meet wall and floor in the bathroom are immaculate. Working with Alex was a great collaborative experience. He respected my input and perspectives and didn't condescend like other contractors I've worked with in the past. At the beginning of the project he recommended options for the foundation, framing, and drainage, with cost/benefit information that was really helpful to my decision making, and the finished building is rock solid and will always be snug and dry. His guidance as I selected flooring, lighting, cabinets, HVAC, plumbing, etc. was always spot on. He has an excellent eye for design, color, texture, too - a real plus! - and I'm very happy with the final finishes. I also want to say that Alex was always up front with me and transparent with his invoicing, planning, everything, and I would hire him again without question.

I met Alex through a friend and learned about the services that his company, Beyond Green…read moreConstruction, provides. Alex is a top notch professional; he is very transparent, very knowledgeable about his industry, and passionate about his work. I've worked with him in the last few years for his consulting services for several projects including: 1. Evaluating the current state of my house's electrical wiring, where he provided recommendations (from nice to haves to urgent fixes), rough estimates, and how to review bids. 2. Developing a plan for my drainage in my yard. He and I walked through the lot, pointed out high and low points in my yard, and used tools and instruments to provide accurate measurements. 3. Checking my crawl space for potential structural and foundation issues. After that, he helped me figure out next steps: hiring an engineer, evaluating contractors and their services, and helping me review bids. Since he's been busy, I haven't been able to hire him for major projects for my house, but he's been great to work to get second opinions and additional guidance. However, I am trying to get in his schedule soon to take on a major construction project, since I know that he will deliver high quality results.

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. His crew is just as impressive--they show up on time, work hard, pay attention to every detail, and leave the job site spotless at the end of each day. 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.

They were always on time ,(you don't see that alot), very polite, and extremely knowlageable about the work they were doing. No constrution job goes perfectly smooth. So when a situation arose, Javier explained ,and showed me & my wife,exactly what was going on, and layed out all options available to us. He actually suggested that spending more money would not be in our best interest. How many contractors do that ? A few months after our kitchen was completed,Javier replaced a door to our patio. If he told us once,he must have told us four times that cutting into the stucco was nessasary. He very much wants the client to know exactly what's going on every step of the way.If you're looking for the best.........CALL AGGO CONSTRUTION !

Javier is very personable, easy to work with and definitely knows his craft. His vision and suggestions were invaluable. They stayed within budget and finished the project in a timely manner. We will be using their services again in the near future and highly recommend them.

My neighbor personally recommended me Farallon Company.  Upon thorough research, I discovered that their satisfaction rate was way above their peers. I decided to contact the company. Fernando and Jonathan Oliveira were very professional from the beginning to the end of the project. Their crew worked tirelessly to complete the job, putting in long hours and even working on Saturdays. Whether or not Fernando or his son, Jonathan, was present to oversee their work, the crew remained focused, efficient, and methodical, handling the challenging job with ease despite its difficult conditions. Fernando's expertise, coupled with Jonathan's flexibility, enabled them to navigate any obstacles that arose during the project. I really enjoyed that it is a family-owned business and that Fernando came from Portugal over 40 years ago, bringing with him his knowledge about construction from the old continent to the Bay Area. You can tell he knows what he is talking about when he goes over details with you. I am glad to see his son taking over the business and learning from his dad. I might need excavation work in 2024 on a different property and will definitely use their services again! Thank you!

The wall involved piers going into bedrock 15-20 feet below the soil surface, then a 10 foot retaining wall on top.

They also gave me some complimentary guidance on my future plans with my backyard. During project, their crew were there often onsite for 10+ hour days, sometimes 6 days a week. They even worked through some 100+ degree days. I was always happy to see the consistent progress on the project over the 3 months it took. I would highly recommend Farallon for their attention to detail, execution, and quality.
