One of our biggest fears as first time home buyers were the initial set of items we needed to fix…read more Where to start? How much would it cost? And could we find a contractor we could trust? We are so grateful we received two separate referrals for Zen Construction! We worked with Dimitry from Zen Construction to relocate washer/dryer hook ups, paint majority of the house inside, and update some must-fix in bathrooms. From the time we first reached out for an estimate throughout the two weeks we worked together, Dimitry was extremely helpful and responsive. Dimitry took time to provide his thoughts/advice (always where relevant) in a very helpful and professional way. My husband and I also really appreciated that Dimitry did not try to up-sell us at any part of the work - if anything unexpected came up, he clearly distinguished what was a must-fix versus optional fix for us at a later time. Dimitry was also flexible when we decided to add a completely new component to our previously-agreed work. Dimitry's crew were extremely hardworking and professional. Every day the work areas were left clean and at the end of the project, all work was done and everything was spotless. We continued to be impressed by the speed at which Dimitry and his men worked all while delivering exceptional quality. As most home owners know - the wish list of items to be fixed never ends and we can't wait to work with Dimitry and his guys again!

Stay far away from this person, he is a schemer and a conniver and a nickel and dimer. We wanted a…read moresimple bathroom remodel. It has taken 3x as long as he said (because he took another job before finishing ours). He convinced us to get a slab counter top instead of a vanity because he said it would look better. He somehow broke the second slab, went back to the place he bought it and got the cheapest thing he could buy and installed it - it is not even the same color........ Also he used on-hand paints because he was to cheap to actually go get the colors we wanted for the bathroom that were not what we wanted and then blamed the lights on the off coloring lol!!!. He told us to go get two slabs that we wanted and we did at a cost of 1K. Today he had the nerve and the audacity to email us asking to send him a check for the finished job - that he did not finish and left us holding this situation. Come back and fix the slab problem you created and paint the walls the color we wanted. Again STAY AWAY!

I've worked with William Hernandez and his team on 5 + projects, all deep remodels. He has a…read moresuperior work ethic, is honest, fair, and is one of the best professionals I've connected with in this business. I would trust him to do any remodeling project.

I called William and gave him a description of the work I needed done at my home in Novato. He was…read morevery cordial on the phone and he was out the next morning to scope the job. He took notes and pictures and said he would email me the quote. After a week I called, left a message, no response. I sent him an email, no response, two more phone calls and messages over a three week period and still no response. If this is the way he responds to customers maybe it was a good thing he is not going to be doing my project. This is not a way to conduct business. If he was too busy or didn't want to do the work he could have said so and not wasted so much of my time. Not very professional in my opinion.

Cameron was pleasant to work with, very straightforward, and hardworking. I thought he communicated well with us, and we really liked his subcontractors (whomever he used for painting was truly wonderful). He was always pretty much on time, and who ever says that about their contractor? We'd say, "we're moving in in June," and people would just roll their eyes and say, "let's see if you're in by Christmas." Well, we moved in in June, and the place is beautiful! Of course, there were finishing touches, and for the first few weeks we were in the place, Cameron and his trusty cute dog, Comet, were always around; it was like having a bit larger family, and I thought it was fun. My husband is going to write a more technical review at some point, but from the (less involved) wife's point of view, I give him an enthusiastic thumbs up, and recommend cb construction without reservation.

He does not have good customer service and at times was very rude. He took a very long time to answer and turn things around, and then would provide something completely different than what we had discussed, as if he didn't even listen at all. We ended up having to put our project on hold due to my husbands health. He kept a large portion of our money but did not provide solid detail to justify what he kept. Even knowing our situation, he would not work with us at all to come to an agreeable and justifiable amount and caused a great amount of stress during a difficult time. I would have fought it and taken him to small claims but had to walk away because of our situation. My husband was a contractor and has worked with many people in the industry and FIGO, specifically Fred was by far the worst he had ever worked with. He sells himself on work he does not provide.

We tried looking for a local…read morecontractor to complete the job but we couldn't find a reasonable rate or find someone to do the entire job. One would do the kitchen but no floors, another the kitchen but no paint. We eventually looked father out and found Roberto, the owner of the business. He came out, gave us an estimate and not only was the amount fair, he would do everything we needed. Best thing was he was with us during the entire process of choosing and designing our cabinets which we bought from a local business. We removed walls, installed new floors, new paint, he did it all. We are very happy with his work and that's why we had him do one bathroom as well. Very polite, always on time and his work is Amazing. I'll let the pictures do the talking, highly recommend him.

I have made it clear in no uncertain terms that he needed to quite touching things that don't belong to him and to stay off our property. Imagine my surprise yesterday when two of his "workers" were dismantling our gate/fence area without permission because this guy told them too. And when I told them to put it back and get off my property this is how they resolved it. Now I'll have to go buy some fencing and replace it all myself to make it look right. This guy has NO BOUNDARIES. Proceed with caution.

What a range of reviews they have…read more I'll add this short one. I had a slider that let storms into the ceiling of my bedroom below. Previous contractors failed to repair it diligently. The rain has not yet come this season but AMAC was the only vendor that ran a hose and deluged the slider after making a patch. The deluge did not enter the bedroom. My fingers are crossed. Since they were in the house already and since my bedroom was tore up to get at the inside of the ceiling and with the curtains all open the carpet really showed its age and I had been considering having a wood floor put in so in for a penny in for a pound and I requested a quote and it was reasonable. They asked if I'd like to procure the materials so as to save the markup and I have a stout ride so spent a day at all the Lumber Liquidators in the Bay Area for as none seem to have everything you need in stock at the same location and 1,000 pounds of floor schlepped from the garage to my living space what a workout and I was ready for them and happy I saved 500 clams of markup. Because of certain details the job took twice as long as I expected. I just gave them my keys and got used to wondering where my bed would be tonight as they moved it from one place to another each day. Baudelia, the service rep who put up with my incessant whining was awesome and as soon as she realized I needed constant updates she gave them without having to be asked. And. Even though the job took longer than they anticipated they honored their original estimate no questions asked. The men in my house over the summer months were courteous, diligent and friendly. Their work when it was finished gave my space a much needed upgrade. Even now two months after they finished when I walk down the stairs they did into the room they did I smile. Not enough smiles these days. Thank you Baudelia and all your men for making my spaces happier.
