His crew was skilled, fast, efficient, and very respectful of our home throughout the process.

We've been working with Nick from Sunrise Homestead on the design for a major remodel of our…read morekitchen and dining room, and the experience has been wonderful. We were drawn to his past work and trusted right away that he could bring our vision to life. Even in the design phase, Nick's attention to detail and thoughtful approach have really stood out. He is warm, approachable, and easy to talk with--our meetings have been collaborative, enjoyable, and often filled with personal touches and stories that made the process feel comfortable and inspiring. Nick has guided us through material choices with great care, bringing beautifully vetted samples and unique, locally sourced options for wood, tile, and finishes. His passion for quality and sustainability really shines through, and we've loved his creative solutions and ability to offer custom, one-of-a-kind ideas to make the space truly our own. So far, working with Nick has been both fun and reassuring--we feel confident that when it comes time to build, our kitchen and dining room will be even more beautiful than we imagined.

We had the pleasure of working with Nick on a relatively small rebuild/repair of our gate at the…read morefamily Russian River cabin in Monte Rio on a very high end custom home. Nick is a licensed general contractor and extraordinary carpenter with a great eye for detail. He is classically trained with a BFA in sculpture from University of the Arts in Philadelphia and exhibit buildout at SFMOMA. He checked all the boxes at our first on-site meeting and revisits. He was on time, on budget, an excellent listener and terrific communicator, highly skilled craftsman and problem solver, true to form with the best tools and matching materials, self-proclaimed nit-picky perfectionist, fine finish matching and all around nice guy. Nick is honest, quick to respond, perfect on the details, has very high standards, and is very caring and positive, gracious and modest. He used the existing design not reinventing the wheel and most likely would have improved the gateway design given the chance. Nick is an exceptionally talented contractor with many years of creative problem solving. To repeat, he has a great eye for detail and sculpted, integrated, seamless design with unique elements evidenced by his extensive portfolio. I never felt the need to micromanage him. He is terrific at remote site communication and management. We live in the East Bay and the owner is in Hawaii which adds a level of complexity to remote destination work. I stepped back remotely and admired Nick's process with timely before and after pictures. The end result was outstanding! We will definitely use Nick on our next project, very highly recommended!

I was referred to Luis by a coworker and he was fantastic!…read more In the past 5 years, I've probably worked with a dozen contractors in the Bay Area, from GC, drywall, electricians, plumbers, tile, HVAC, and landscape (after having completed a down to the studs renovation in 2021). I would consider Luis in the top 10% of people I have ever worked with. Luis was easy to communicate with, showed up on time, clearly outlined the scope of work, and delivered exactly what was asked for and more, at a fair price! My water heater was EOL and developed a leak which damaged the plywood housing supporting it. Luis cut out the damaged part, cleaned all the mess out, reinforced the subfloor joists, and replaced it with new plywood. All of this in time so that the plumber could install a new water heater the same day. While he was here, I also asked him to make some small adjustments to my cabinets. One of my cabinet doors had broken off and I ordered new hinges but struggled to get it back on level. Luis made sure that 3 cabinet doors which were a little off-level were adjusted and tightened to open and close perfectly. He even noticed my front door had the same issue and proactively fixed that too. He did such a great job that my fiance wants to hire him to do a fence for us. 5/5 stars!

Wow, so many reasons to recommend Luis and his wonderful crew. 1. Lovely and kind workers with…read moreamazing integrity (i.e., take pride in the excellence of their work, stand by their work no matter what issues arise, go the extra mile every time). 2. Beautiful craftmanship (shoutouts to Rene's gorgeous tile work, Juan's perfect paint job). 3. Clear and thorough communication and coordination of the work by Luis. 4. Reliability - always arrive when they say they will. 5. Knowledgeable about all aspects of construction. Lastly, Luis was just great at listening to us, providing helpful ideas along the way, but understanding our vision for the bathroom remodel. And he is the most calm and mellow soul, perfect for the, at times, stressful work he does. Thank you Luis!

In a nutshell, working with Jitendra exceeded our expectations on several levels. The bookshelves…read morethat he designed, built, and installed really add much-needed warmth and life to our living room! BACKGROUND: We wanted bookshelves installed above a built-in cabinet unit in our living room. I sent Jitendra a sketch and described what we wanted. From my chicken-scratch sketch, he created a design and mock-up, then measured our space. While measuring, he flagged all existing flaws in the space (uneven/slanted walls) so that we were aware of all inconsistencies upfront. He has amazing attention to detail! RESULTS: We were simply blown away by how well he was able to match the custom shelves to our existing unit; all of the wood looks like it was manufactured at the same time! It truly looks like it was all constructed as one piece from the very beginning, which is exactly what we wanted. In addition, we really appreciate that he took initiative to incorporate crown molding/extra detail on the top of the shelving unit. This is something that I would never have thought to do. WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE HIM: There's good reason why the word "artisan" is in the name of this business. He goes above and beyond on quality, service, and workmanship, AND he's very personable, patient, and kind. I HIGHLY recommend working with Jitendra and his crew; worth every penny!

He is one of those contractors that you can trust without the need to be worried that things might go wrong.

He was the most reasonable so we went with him, I have had bad experiences with contractors who will give a low bid in order to get the job and then as things pop up the cost of the project will get higher and higher. Raully did not do that. He quickly filed permits for the job in tiburon, where permits can be tricky, his team put us on their scheduled quickly (hard to find contractors who would do this during Covid-where contractors were seemingly overwhelmed). His team was professional and timely, they did an amazing job on a luxury house and created the modern, classy bathroom my client was hoping for. He has designers that he works with (although we did not use them except to draw the plans). He was responsive by phone and email whenever I needed him. His team is professional, communicative, and detail oriented. Everything you'd want in a contractor. Cannot recommend him enough and will continue to do so with my clients.

They also referred us to a wonderful paint specialist (Escamilla's Painting Inc), which made the entire exterior update so much easier and more seamless. It was especially helpful having a trusted recommendation for the next phase of the project. We really appreciate their professionalism, communication, and quality of work. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable contractor for siding, windows, or exterior home improvements!

All workmanship was excellent and we liked his painters so much, we had them repaint our kitchen too. We would absolutely use Diego again for any remodeling projects.

My wife and I delayed doing "the major remodel" for years because we had heard all the horror…read morestories. But the time had definitely come, and the perfect rental house fell into our laps in our neighborhood. So we decided to move forward and hired our architects. We were going to use a general contractor who had done some other remodels in our neighborhood. But our architects highly recommended Nick so we interviewed him as well. This was a major remodel, full kitchen with an addition, major structural changes throughout, full remodel of two bathrooms, a new deck and porch, new windows, in short, basically the works. From the first interview, it was evident that Nick knew what he was doing. He had thoughtful suggestions across the board and always provided a reasonable and pragmatic point of view. We decided to go with Nick, and it was the best decision we made. Nick managed to bring in our remodel on budget, on time, and with impeccable workmanship, all while dealing with the major obstacles of COVID19 and the shelter-in-place. It was quite incredible that he got it done. Nick is not overly dependent on subcontractors, and he knows how to line things up from a timing perspective and press those involved in the job so things run relatively smoothly and get done on time. At bottom, Nick is just a real pro, and I couldn't recommend him more highly. And to top it off, he is a good guy too!

How often do you hear these words about a general contractor? "I love my contractor and I cannot…read moresay enough good things about him". Any time anyone asks me about Nick, that is exactly what they hear from me. Nick Calder and his crew remodeled our 100+ year old home, adding a bedroom, a bathroom and an entry hall as well as updating the kitchen, putting in recessed lighting, painting, moving some walls around,and building a brand new two car garage. Initially we were concerned because he was the lowest of the four bids that we received, but after several conversations with his previous clients, we were convinced that Nick was our guy. And we were right. Nick is a very stand up straightforward person, who takes real pride in his work. When the inevitable hiccups came up, he handled them head on, made great suggestions and did everything at a reasonable cost. He has an amazing crew, who are careful conscientious and real artisans. We are so happy with the work they did and by the end (because we were living in the house while they finished up) they felt like family. I recommend him to anyone I know who is looking to do work on their home and in the the very unlikely event that we go through the remodel process again, I would hire him in a heartbeat.
