Chris showed up to give us an estimate and spent a good amount of time walking us through all the options. When we decided to go ahead with the project Chris got us in the schedule within the week. We are very happy with the work that was done, everything as promised and then some! Chris was great to work with. I would definitely hire him again!

After interviewing several General Contractors, we chose C L Richeson Custom Builders to manage the…read morerenovation of a 1937 historic home we had recently purchased. There were many criteria we used to select our GC (punctuality, skill level, experience, references etc.) but the most important thing for us as inexperienced homeowners was trust. By really taking the time to listen carefully to our needs, explaining technical details in layman's terms and presenting detailed proposals (with options for cost/quality) over a period of several meetings, Chris earned our trust and ultimately our selection to do this job. That trust turned out to be well deserved - Chris really became our advocate and champion. He showed real pride in the project and personal ownership of the transformation of this house. I'm sure we were not the easiest clients to deal with (picky and indecisive) but Chris was patient, unfailingly positive and handled all issues with a good sense of humor. During this renovation he saved us considerable heartache and money by helping us avoid common pitfalls; for e.g. when he could have subbed out certain aspects of the job (floors, HVAC, roof) and taken an easy % for little effort, he instead guided us through getting quotes, evaluating/selecting them, and then followed up on the quality of the work with these contractors. He showed us that he values honesty and doing the right thing above making a quick buck. I will confidently recommend him to my closest friends and family. Our once dilapidated craftsman home is now transformed! When we tried to buy this house the bank would not even give us a loan until we did emergency repairs it was that badly neglected! Now it's the pride of the neighborhood (and has significantly increased in value.). We are so happy - 100% satisfied with the high quality of the work and the excellent management of this project. Thank you Chris!

Now that the Holidays are behind us, I can finally write this review. Long story short, we had a…read morepipe break under our main bathroom which also involved sewage. Following the remediation work authorized by the insurance company, we decided that this unfortunate event gave us the opportunity to completely remodel our all original 1961 bathroom. I began looking for contractors and reading the reviews on Yelp. I selected three, two from Yelp and one which was a referral. Uriah, owner of Hawkins Remodeling & Repair, responded quickly to my request and set up a date and time that worked wonderfully with our schedule. He arrived as scheduled and we toured my complete wreck of a bathroom. He took measurements, pictures and we talked all while he took notes of everything including what our vision was. He asked questions and offered suggestions including installing a new bathroom door. Uriah sent back a proposal just a couple days later and while I was still waiting for the last contractor. In the end, we just liked everything Uriah and his company had to offer and selected them for the remodel. We agreed on a start date the Monday following Thanksgiving. Uriah asked if he could come over the on the weekend prior to drop of the dump trailer as the bathroom was going to be gutted with a lot of debris, so this made perfect sense. On Monday, Uriah and his team members, Carlos and Miguel, showed up promptly and right away began working by masking all the carpeted area with plastic sheeting where they would be travelling on. They also set up their 'shop' in our backyard for the duration of the project. Every day I came home to an extensive transformation. We had a lot going on in this little old bathroom including a faux divider wall removed, replacing the window with an obscure double pane window, which I asked for at the last minute. They were also moving electrical outlets and extending the plumbing height to accommodate our new fixtures but more so for all the tall bodies living in our house. They removed our existing cast iron bathtub, preserving it as we were having it refinished, so they removed it entirely so they could reinforce the main beams and redo the subfloor. Do you know how heavy those tubs are? Also, did I mention that this was a 1961 original AND was built on adobe? This means nothing in our home is level! Carlos and Miguel handled every challenge that was thrown their way. Uriah checked in with me on a regular basis and discussed any potential problems or issues that his team discovered and offered suggestions or solutions. It was very refreshing to know they just wanted it done right and for us to be completely satisfied. Near the end, we had the tub resurfaced and no one was allowed in the bathroom for two days following as it needed to cure. I didn't want to lose them for a that time, so I asked Uriah if they could replace our back patio slider, which too was old in need of replacing. He quickly gave me a bid, I accepted, and the team installed a beautiful new patio slider. It should be noted that it was pouring rain too! They came to finish up on the final pieces and what an amazing Christmas gift it was! I can't recommend Hawkins Remodeling & Repair enough. They truly transformed a "beast" into a "beauty". Thank you, Uriah, Carlos, and Miguel (The Hawkins crew)! We look forward to working on another project with you in the future!

I hired Brian to help prepare my home for sale based on a list of repairs and improvements provided…read moreby my real estate agents. Brian presented himself, when asked by my Agent, as someone experienced in plumbing work. He replaced the plumbing connections on top of the water heater; however, the unit continued to leak afterward. He was on-site for over eight hours that day. More than four of those hours were spent at Home Depot, and the remaining time was used working on the water heater plumbing. I later hired a licensed plumber from a professional plumbing company, who advised that the job should have taken approximately two hours, that incorrect parts had been used, and that the work had been performed improperly and unprofessionally. During one of his Home Depot trips, he was sent to purchase gutters for the house but instead returned with a large box of miscellaneous items (at least 20 insignificant items) that had not been approved or discussed. These items totaled over $400!!! There is no justification for treating someone else's money that way, with no regard for their approval or expectations. To make it better, he stated that he had used a friend's military discount card as if that was a good thing. The gutters were never purchased and when I returned the items to Home Depot, I only received a reduced refund, resulting in an additional financial loss. I asked him if the discount was charged back to his card and he said "no"??? I also observed him spend approximately four hours making a minor repair and painting the front door, which further raised concerns about the efficiency and quality of the work being performed. Overall, a significant amount of time was wasted, the quality of work was below standard, and I incurred unnecessary big expense as a result. The experience was extremely disappointing and resulted in both financial loss and delays in preparing the home for sale. He also left several tools at my home and said he would return after Memorial Day to collect them? Seriously? As a single woman in my 60s, I found this situation inappropriate and unsettling for numerous reasons.

Last June I solicited a bid from Sonoma-Marin Construction to replace a large 2,500 square foot…read moredriveway. They responded quickly to my email but I didn't hear back. Then, in September, I received a call from someone asking if I was still interested in a proposal. It made me feel like my project wasn't big enough. They finally sent the proposal at the beginning of September with apologies. So four months later I received a proposal that was 20% higher than the next highest. I think they were pricing themselves out of a project they didn't want to do. They could have just told me so in June. Today, with a different contractor we started the work of replacing the 2,500 SF driveway plus we are adding a patio and replacing our 50 foot public sidewalk and street curb for less than the total from Sonoma-Marin provided for just the driveway. I think Sonoma-Marin needs to treat ALL potential customers with the same respect they treat customers with bigger projects.
