I hired Rising Starr Construction to remove and replace exterior building material which had been…read moreaffected by wood destroying pests & organisms - mainly dry rot & fungus - as identified in Home and Pest Inspection Reports. Most of the work required replacing approximately 50 ft x 3 ft of T1-11 siding along several exterior walls and replacing trim boards at various locations. Josh Kesecker is the Owner, and Antonio Martinez is Lead Carpenter and primary onsite worker. After reaching out to Josh, he responded quickly to setup a time to meet at my house and review the scope of work. He was quick to respond with his very clear itemized quote, and he scheduled work immediately. His price was fair considering the work involved and level of quality he and Antonio provided. Josh is a third-generation contractor with prior experience as an Inspector, so he knows how to address corrective issues. He is soft-spoken and calm, very straightforward, experienced, and friendly. Antonio was a gem - a very friendly, skilled professional that works very hard and takes pride in doing work correctly. For example, the trim at a window had been identified in the reports as having fungal damage. When Antonio removed the trim, he found that the damage extended to a narrow 2" and 12" section of siding under the trim on the side of one of the windows, and above the garage personal-door. He proceeded to dig out and replace this siding before replacing the trim. Another contractor would not have included this level of quality control and workmanship and would have simply replaced the trim and left the damage underneath. These guys were very easy to work with, and came through, providing outstanding quality work. I highly recommend them.

I was referred to Rising Starr Construction shortly after purchasing my first home. We had an…read more'extra room' behind the garage that was below-grade, had drainage issues, had terrible flooring, and the existing French doors and interior walls appeared to have water damage. We called and the owner Josh came out to investigate and assess what we needed to have done - within a day or two he sent a comprehensive and competitive bid. After we agreed to the work Josh returned with his team and within a several days created a French drain system around the extra room to mitigate moisture intrusion, installed a new sliding glass door, installed new flooring / baseboard, resolved some moisture intrusion / fixed and painted dry wall inside the room, and built an incredible post and pier foundation for our new shed we were having delivered. All of the work was done efficiently and with masterful craftsmanship; Josh and his crew were always nice and even cleaned up the work area at the end of each work day! We just sold the home and definitely made our money back and more! Can't recommend Rising Starr Construction enough... Josh and his crew are exceptional and truly the best at what they do.

The driveway JAM3 installed that cost over $20,000 started to crack and discolor after 5 months. In…read morethe beginning the owner was accommodating and helpful, but once I started to complain about the cracks and discoloring the owner was extremely difficult to work with and because of that the issues I had with the driveway were never fixed. Twice he sprayed a sealer on it but it just got worse after that. I asked the owner for a partial refund so I could hire another company to fix the problems, but he refused. The driveway that's supposed to be a terracotta color has a white waxy film and dark botches all over it. I am a very unsatisfied customer. What could improve? The owners willingness to fix the problem in a professional manner instead of arguing and finding blame OR give me a partial refund that would release him from any liability so I could hire someone else. But, unfortunately that did not happen. I am extremely disappointed and distressed every time I look at my driveway.

Jam3 Builders provided me with great ideas while listening to my concerns. "The wall" was constructed to provide more parking spaces. It was a complicated site due to close proximity to road, the many different elevations, flow of steps and overall visual aspects. I am very happy with the end result of the project. Tony and his crew worked well together, were polite, clean, and most important communicative to me. As a woman, I appreciated the straight forward conversations and respect for my concerns. They delivered all that was promised at a very competitive price. Leslie C

Very timely, professional and thorough with his work. Russell and Anthony were always available for questions throughout the project, and were quick to come up with solutions for anything that came up.

Very fair value and personal service, and they got the job done in a very timely manner- we LOVE how our kitchen turned out. Would recommend Sonoma County Carpentry to anybody looking to have remodel work done. We will be reaching back out to SCC when it is time to do our bathrooms!

Whether a big renovation project or something on the smaller side, Rantissi Construction is truly…read morethe best of the best! They are a small licensed crew and Lou and Alex are two of the kindest, most professional, creative guys that are not only wonderful at their craft- but they are solution oriented, fairly priced and well connected in the community with other professionals in the field. We recently purchased a home in Petaluma that needed some major TLC and Rantissi Construction made our visions come to life within budget and on the timeline we had created together. We weren't living locally at the time, but we were still fully part of the process via excellent communication through text and email and they shared many progress photos along the way! Once we arrived to town, the guys still had a bit of work to do and it was so easy and comfortable being in the house with them with our three very young children in tow and everything! I know finding a great crew to work with that meets your needs, can be an overwhelming process and so insanely expensive and our experience was the opposite! My husband and I cannot recommend Rantissi Construction enough. Below are a couple of before and after pictures. Lou Rantissi: 707-396-7472

I had been working…read moreon a kitchen renovation and there were some things that needed improving and some other jobs I never knew I needed an additional contractor for. When I met with Lou he came and accessed what work needed to be done, he would be installing doors on my laundry room and converting it in to a pantry aswell as installing a backsplash for countertops that had been installed. In addition to that I requested a custom closet, a repair on a pocket door in bathroom and replacement of weather stripping on bottom of front door. He said no problem to all of it, came back with an estimate within 2 days and was ready to get started the following week. He always stayed in good communication and cleaned up well after every job. Lou and his partner were non intrusive and always kind in their interactions. I would recommend them for a variety of jobs for they seem to be quite knowledgeable in many areas. During this renovation I have dealt with many contractors and I would gladly say I would do business with them again
