    Newly built fireplace
    Raveesh N.

    We worked with Carlos to redo parts of our bathroom and dining room and build a new fireplace for our living room. They completed the job with a great finish and transformed the areas we got work done (please see attached before/after pictures). They proactively addressed any concerns we had and were also willing to help us with few minor jobs that we needed help with. One problem we ran into was slow procuring of materials for the job but we hear that's a common issue right now due to covid.

    Top Deck built by OC Construction
    Rod O.

    OC Construction did a project for us that started in April 2017. I found Carlos on Yelp under his previous business name Olguin Drywall and Painting. Initially, I asked Carlos to give me a quote on Drywall Repair and Painting. We noticed water damage in one of our rooms and we wanted to get it fixed. Lesson for all homeowners, once you open a wall you have no idea what's behind it. It was like being one of those people on HGTV where you kept finding more damage. A project that we thought was going to be drywall repair in one room turned into Re-Siding the whole exterior of the home. There was water damage throughout the house and our deck had termite damage. To my surprise, Carlos informed me that he would be able to do the whole project. He had recently got a license as a construction contractor and his work went beyond drywall and painting. For a project that was this big, it was difficult getting contractors to come out and even provide a quote. We decided to go with Carlos. The project included: - Drywall and paint in one of our bedrooms - Install new wood flooring in that bedroom - Demo of old wood siding on exterior - Replaced nearly all windows on exterior of the house - Add Insulation and Waterproof layer to the exterior walls - Stucco Siding and Paint on Exterior of the House - Replace Electrical Panel - Patch up and paint drywall in certain rooms of the house that had damage as a result of the demo of the siding - Install two new exterior decks in the backyard. The original timeline was around 3-4 months. The project extended to around 7 months. Part of this was due to weather and us deciding if we were going to get a new deck or not. The other part was that Carlos had problems with the City to get an approval on the permit for the deck. Some cities are more strict with their rules when providing a site plan for the deck. I had to hire a third party land surveyor that would draft out a site map that showed the property lines. This was the last step I needed to complete in order for Carlos to get the final approval on the deck Overall, my wife and I are very satisfied with the work and service provided by Carlos and OC Construction. I've learned that big projects like this don't always go as planned in regards to timeline. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because getting the deck approval from the city was a headache. Other than that, I thought OC Construction did a great job on our project. I would consider using them again in the future.

This was not my first time working with Leo and his team -- I've partnered with them several times over the past ten years at different properties, and they continue to exceed my expectations. Leo promptly returned my initial call and scheduled a site visit within just a few days. Shortly after, he provided a detailed quote, and we arranged the project timeline around his understandably busy schedule. When rain interfered with our original installation date, Leo was quick to coordinate a new date as soon as the weather cooperated. On installation day, Leo and his crew arrived on time and fully prepared. The team was outstanding -- communicative, professional, and respectful of the property throughout the entire process. At the end of each workday, the site was left clean and tidy. The project took nearly three days to complete, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. It was truly a pleasure working with Leo and his team once again. I would not hesitate to contact HH Fence and Deck Company for future projects and confidently recommend them to anyone seeking quality craftsmanship and dependable service.

From day one, the team really listened to what we wanted and paid close attention to every detail that mattered to us. Throughout the project, everyone was collaborative, organized, and easy to work with. We always felt supported and confident that we were in good hands. A heartfelt thank you to Leandro, our Project Manager, whose leadership and coordination made the whole process feel completely seamless. We're also truly grateful to Cejana and Wesley for their knowledgeable deck consulting, Millena for her responsive and thorough customer service, Thalia for her beautiful design work, Danilo and Gabriel for their excellent hardscape craftsmanship and professionalism, and Sergio and Hector for their exceptional deck work. Throughout the project, the team was attentive to every stage of progress and worked incredibly hard. They were consistently organized, and at the end of each workday, everything was put back neatly and in order, which we truly appreciated. The finished backyard is truly a piece of art to us. It looks exactly like the renderings we fell in love with and has completely transformed our space into somewhere we love spending time in. We've already recommended Techwood to friends and family and would do so again without hesitation. Wishing this amazing team and the company continued success -- they truly deserve it!

Final results are beautiful, quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Very happy with all the work they did in the back of the house so we hired them to do additional work to the front of our house and replaced all wood with PVC product and all handrails and banisters with metal. They look absolutely gorgeous. I found their communication software very user friendly. Payment process was disclaimed at front based on milestones. Of course there's always glitches in the process and it wouldn't be fair to leave a review without mentioning them. 1- working to get architecture and engineering completed took a few months. 2- a significant surprising unsightly design change was not disclosed. There were additional costs to cover it up. 3- designer renderings showed all wood posts and joist in black paint but this was not included in the original cost, this was another significant cost increase. 4- all decks were to have lights on all railings, that was on the original contract. However, we were told later that the cost of an electrician was not included in our contract. This was yet another cost surprise. Overall, I am very pleased with everything as they addressed every single item that needed to be addressed and it looks beautiful. I will definitely hire them again, but just make sure to ask all posible questions no matter how silly to ensure that everything is included in that upfront quote and there are no surprises.

They helped us get the permit when the city of San Carlos refused; they designed, engineered and planned every detail to our specifications; and they built the entire thing over the winter, with only a few rain days. It was beyond impressive.

    I don't even know where to begin. So I'll just start from the beginning…read more What I thought was going to be a partial deck repair turned into a full reconstruction. And look -- that could have gone sideways real fast. Like, real fast. It didn't. Thank God. Here's the thing about this crew -- and I mean every single person who showed up -- they were just genuinely friendly. Not "we want your money" friendly. Actually friendly. The kind where you don't mind them being at your house for weeks. And on top of being friendly, they actually knew what they were talking about. I asked a lot of questions. Probably too many. Nobody fumbled. Nobody gave me the blank stare. Nobody redirected me to someone else. Just straight, confident answers from people who clearly know their craft. That goes for the construction crew, the painters, and the membrane repair team. All of them. Damn consistent across the board. Now -- I'll be real with you. Their quote came in a little higher than some of the other estimates we were getting. And yeah, I side-eyed it a little at first. But here's the thing -- the other quotes were coming from general contractors. And with something like this, I didn't want a generalist. I wanted a team that actually specializes in this kind of work. And that's exactly what I got. So honestly, the higher quote made complete sense once I thought about it. You're not paying more for the same thing -- you're paying for people who actually know what the hell they're doing at a deeper level than your average contractor. And as the project grew from a partial repair into a full deck reconstruction -- which, by the way, nobody saw coming -- the cost didn't blow up the way you'd expect it to. It stayed fair. It stayed honest. Nobody tried to squeeze extra money out of a situation that was growing by the week. When you zoom out and look at the whole picture, it's a no-brainer. You get what you pay for. And I couldn't be happier. Sammy and John were on it the whole time. Responsive, communicative, never left me hanging. And even after the project wrapped up and I came back with follow-up questions -- because I definitely did -- they were still right there. Patient, thorough, zero attitude. I had a lot of anxiety going into something this big, and somehow between Sammy's leadership and John keeping everything moving in the right direction, that anxiety just kind of... dissolved. Which, if you know me, is not easy to do. These guys just get it. Oh, and they cleaned up after themselves. Every single damn day. No nails. No debris. No "that's not my problem" energy. They treated my home like it was their own. Like, genuinely. I didn't have to ask once. Special shoutout to Sammy for always being reachable, to John for keeping the whole operation from going off the rails, and to Fernando, Armando, and Salvadore for their hard work and dedication on the ground -- these guys showed up every day and just handled their business. And honestly, the entire construction crew, the painters, and the membrane repair team deserve a shoutout too. Every single one of them showed up like it mattered. Because it did. These are good people doing great work and it shows. Most importantly -- I finally feel safe enjoying the outside of my home again. And honestly? That's everything.

Jose brings an incredible amount of expertise, hard work, and enthusiasm to every job. He is very communicative throughout the process and works efficiently while still maintaining a very high standard. It is clear he cares deeply about doing the job right. I hired him for two projects to restore wood that had been badly maintained over the years. From the start, he was upfront about realistic expectations and worked closely with me so the final result would be both beautiful and aligned with my personal taste, even with the challenges from past wear and damage. His process is meticulous. He carefully preps, conditions, and treats the wood so the finish looks great and will last. One of the projects he worked on was restoring our outdoor patio seating, which had been heavily worn down by the elements. It had become rough, uncomfortable to sit on, and even left little splinters. Jose transformed it completely. The wood is now smooth, almost velvet to the touch, and looks beautiful again. He also took the time to tighten loose planks so everything feels solid and well cared for. If you need help restoring decks, outdoor wood furniture, benches, railings, or other exterior wood, Jose is exceptional. I am thrilled with the results and will absolutely work with him again.

    5/5 - True Craftsmanship and Professionalism from Perretti Builders…read more After building fences and decks for many years and eventually becoming a general contractor specializing in custom homes (including our own), my husband has extremely high standards when it comes to construction quality. He personally designed and built our home's deck twice over the past 50 years--each one lasting 25 years. Now, at 88 years old, he decided it was time to pass the torch and hire a contractor to construct our third deck. We carefully interviewed several builders and reviewed examples of their work before choosing Perretti Builders, and we are so glad we did. Their quote was reasonable compared to others, and JorgePadilla, who speaks both English and Spanish, was incredibly receptive to our ideas and special requests, including built-in benches and flower boxes, while working within our existing footprint. The crew, led by Amalcar, arrived promptly at 8:00 a.m. every day. All three workers were highly skilled, friendly, and made sure to clean up the site daily. My husband, a true craftsman himself, was genuinely impressed by the quality of the workmanship and the professionalism of the entire team. The finished deck is absolutely beautiful--thoughtfully constructed, sturdy, and completed on time and on budget. If you are planning a new deck, pergola, arbor, or outdoor structure, we wholeheartedly recommend Perretti Builders. Jorge Perretti has our full permission to show this sample of his work.

Jorge and his team were super people. They were always smiling, always on time and Jorge kept me in the loop at every step of the way. The area where Jorge's team really stood out was around the design itself. I had worked the design with the Struxure company directly and, partially my fault, it was flawed. The fireplace was to pass through the pergola roof but since the fireplace had been placed a few inches off center, Jorge's team needed to adjust their cuts to make it fit. They didn't cut corners and they took their time to get it right. It's beautiful and without Jorge's team, I could have ended up with a real disaster. I would highly recommend Peretti Builders for any job needing detail work. If you just want something assembled and built quickly, anyone could do that. Jorge is quality and craftsmanship.
