David arrived at my home and spent considerable time assessing my job and discussing recommendations with me. He called his lumber supplier while I was present and quoted me a material price which was exactly what I had overheard! Since his visit, the scope of my job changed and I no longer needed a replacement. I am confident that this company would have been easy to work with and the work itself outstanding. I will absolutely consider them for any future projects.

I can not say enough good things about Cowperthwaite Hininger and I can't wait to hire them for…read moremore work in the future! First, they are incredibly professional: they show up when they say they will, do what they say they're going to do, go the extra mile and then clean up thoroughly after themselves. Secondly, Dave (co-owner) has been in the business for many, many years and very seriously knows his stuff - and yet he's very helpful and patient - without being patronizing or exaggerating the scope of work: this is a rare and very welcomed quality, especially when you're a female dealing with male contractors. Most importantly, the work they do is just beautiful - thorough, DONE RIGHT, and executed at a high level of quality. If you're looking for a contractor who is going to do half-assed work that will fall apart in a couple of years, by all means go with someone else. I, for one, wouldn't dream of letting anyone touch my home that wasn't Cowperthwaite Hininger (or someone who comes highly recommended by them). Dave and everyone who works for him has *earned* these five stars!

Jesse was recommended by my neighbor. He responded to my call within 24 hours. His free estimate…read morewas a couple days late but accurate and while with disclaimers. there were no hidden cost in the final price. I added more work to the original request for quote (like pouring gravels in my backyard and cement in a couple areas). For that, he charged $300 more which was fair Jesse has been in this business for 37 years and really knows what's he's doing. After seeing the area, he gave us good recommendations, which were spot on. I would describe Jesse and his crew in four words--fast efficient, quality and honest. Since I didn't find him through Yelp, he didn't ask me to write this comment, but I do it anyway because he has earned it.

I recently purchased a 112 year old home in Oakland. The city REQUIRES you to redo their public…read moresidewalks AND go through them for permits, approvals, payment, etc. AND you HAVE to have a licensed contractor pull the permit. Needless to say after 5 months, I couldn't find ANYONE to help me with my sidewalk replacement at a reasonable price (some even quoted me over 10k to replace a city sidewalk), and had to get an extension from the city so I wouldn't be fined.  I was in a real bind. In comes a MIRACLE in the form of Jess Gonzalez. The most patient and kind contractor i've ever met. He walked me through the process step by step and helped me understand what needed to happen. He promptly started reaching out to the city to obtain permits on my behalf. I had to reach out too because Oakland is very challenging to get a response from. Jesse gave me the BEST price I found. He organized a date with the inspector, met with both of us, walked us through. Followed all the city's requirements. And was done in two days! My sidewalk went from a crumbling hazard, to the prettiest on the block. He organized the final city approval and has stayed in touch actively ever since to make sure that i was completely satisfied. I can't recommend Jesse highly enough! Here are some before and after pics!

Unfortunately, after a miscommunication about part of the project, which I thought we had resolved amicably (I compensated him for the materials he had already used), he later admitted he was upset and had been purposely avoiding my follow up communication. He left the original job on Friday saying he would return the following week to finish a few remaining items. After that, I spent over a month trying to get a response, with little to no communication and no explanation for this treatment. When I finally expressed my frustration, he admitted he had intentionally been ignoring me because of the earlier misunderstanding and offered to send someone to finish the outstanding tasks, "if that's what I was upset about." That level of unprofessionalism was far more disappointing than the few remaining tasks on the project. Misunderstandings happen, but they shouldn't result in giving a customer the silent treatment and leaving a job unfinished. I cannot recommend someone who responds to conflict by avoiding communication completely.

Peter's main positive attributes are honesty, integrity, knowledge of his craft, a fine aesthetic…read moresense, agreeableness, swiftness, and the ability to work within a reasonable budget. He has done several projects for us over the past fifteen years; we're really happy with all of them, but perhaps the best are the renovation of the lower part of our house and the erection of a sunroom in our back yard. The downstairs renovation took an old funky apartment that was partly built into our house when it was first erected in the 1920's, and included a bathroom, a kitchen, one main room, and a back room. He completely tore out the bathroom and re-floored it from the dirt up; the other rooms received less-complete makeovers, but the entire apartment ended up looking better than the rest of our house! The sunroom in the back was put over a large concrete slab that had floored an open shed for decades; additionally, the sunroom was the kind meant to be added to the back wall of a house. Peter got it up with an attached back wall in a matter of days. We began using it about two weeks after he began. Fast, friendly, fiscally prudent; his work is lovely, too; he has a wonderful sense of style and artistry. We can't recommend Peter more highly.

Whenever something didn't come out the way we wanted, he came back and took care of it without hesitation or complaint. He even did some other minor items around the house for us when we didn't ask, but he did so anyways as a gesture. I work with contractors for a living and he is without a doubt one of the better ones. Integrity and honesty all come to mind. His prices are very fair as well. He's my first call when I need more work done, and the GC I would refer to my friends and family.

A lot of companies try to overcharge, so I definitely recommend people do their research and not get ripped off. We had a great experience with Champion Scaffold Services while replacing our roof. Their team was professional, reliable, and always focused on safety from start to finish. The scaffolding was set up quickly, securely, and made the entire roofing process so much smoother for everyone involved. Communication was excellent, and they were always on time and respectful of our property. I truly appreciated how efficient and organized they were throughout the project. A special thank you to Lai and Ray who truly went above and beyond to make the experience even better. Their professionalism, kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to help did not go unnoticed. They made a stressful project feel easy and seamless, and we really appreciated their hard work and positive attitude throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing scaffolding services. Five stars all the way!
