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!

So excited about our new kitchen counters! We needed a major facelift to very old, outdated and…read morewater, damaged kitchen counters. Kitchen had new cabinets, but the counters and old sink were just an eye sore and not functional. New the area, I looked on Yelp for local contractors and came across Redwood Empire Construction. I reached out and heard from Tyler right away, and he carved out some time to take a look at the work we'd like to have done. Tyler is the most warm, friendly and clearly an expert in his field. He helped take some measurements and talk through our vision, and then worked with our schedule to find a time to shop for the countertops. Tyler made that process fun and easy as he kept track of the different samples we were interested in, and then helped us narrow down to a look that was within our price point and complementary to the rest of our home. Tyler coordinated the work including installing the plumbing for our new sink and all was completed exactly in the timeline estimated. The work was done each day quickly, and efficiently and by day three we had everything ready to go and nice and shiny. Forgot to take some great before and after photos, but here are a couple. Looks even better after we finished painting. So much more modern and clean. We will definitely be utilizing Redwood Empire Construction and working with Tyler again for some deck work soon!

I feel very fortunate to have had Brownstein Construction, a licensed contractor, do a remodel on…read moreour home. I met Clark at the permit office, in passing, while seeking a permit. He overheard me sharing my project, and introduced himself. From there, he had a simple and straight-forward bid process, showed up to meetings on time prepared, and is a very good communicator. He's friendly, fun to work with, and no-nonsense. More than anything, he cares to get everything right and safe. Through our months of work together he would listen to my ideas, always working with me to make my dream home. All of my questions were treated with respect, and nothing was left undone. His team was creative and positive as they navigated any unforeseen hiccups. Most of all, every member of the team showed up with an open mind and integrity in their work. In working with a contractor, one has to be adaptable to their schedules. From the top-down, these are blue-collar guys, giving 100% everyday physically. As owners, it is our job to treat them as the peers they are: they should be allowed to take family vacations, pivot to other clients while subcontracting takes place, and they can get sick just like anyone. Marin is a very wealthy area, and I did not take for granted that these gentlemen would get up at the crack of dawn to be cognizant of commute traffic, to be most efficient with their time on the job. Similar to other counties, the permit process stinks. But the permit process should be no reflection of the contractors. Both contractor and owner have to be highly proactive in the permit process, given the broken system we are forced to use. I have already referred Brownstein Construction to family and neighbors. And I will certainly use them for future projects.

Clark Brownstein and his company did the remodel on my less than 1200 sq ft condo. The job was to…read moreremodel 2 small bathrooms, the small kitchen, redo electrical, put in floors and paint. Unfortunately I would not recommend Brownstein Construction nor would I choose to work with them again. We had to wait 2 months for the County of Marin to issue the permit. The project started in July. We had a deadline for the project of October 15. Then we moved the deadline to October 30 then to November 1 then to November 15th. Despite the apartment not being ready I had to move in about November 20th. The guys had made a big show of coming down and working for a couple of days before i moved in but to my surprise they left without installing the shelves in any of the largest cabinets, not the kitchen or the linen cabinets. I wrote Clark and said the rolling retractable shelves aren't installed and he wrote me back saying watch a You Tube video and do it yourself. I lived here in the apartment with all the boxes containing kitchen items piled in my living room for well over a month. Also I couldn't put anything away into the linen closet. They did not come back to work for a long time after that. They did not come back to work for a long time after that. Then just 1 man would show up to work for some hours and then week or 2 later some other guy would come and work a little. There were meetings Clark scheduled with me for which he did not show up. One time I waited for 45 minutes before texting him and about 45 minutes later he called to say he is not coming to the meeting he is doing something else. I was ghosted by Clark more than once. Luckily I came to the apartment the day they were laying the floors and they were laying the floor crosswise the way you walk in the apartment. When we talked about the job Clark told what they could and would do and then did not do it. They said we can put that cable box in the closet behind the tv and no one will ever see it and then did not do that. Oh we will have a cleaning person come and clean it up before you move in and then took that back.. From the beginning of talking about the project i said i want cedar shelves in the linen closet and into the project he said no. I wanted a ceiling fan and had bought it and he said no after saying yes. As Christmas approached I said whatever is left to do please do it before i go out of town on December 18 and as the day approached Clark said they, or 1 of them, could only come on December 18 so I changed my plans for sake of getting the project done. Still it was i think January the 23 when I was finally able to shut the door behind Clark. That day he kept saying "It's always a rough road. It's always a rough road." and made a big deal about shaking hands. The work is ok. There was nothing complicated. It was completely straight forward. The tile in the primary bathroom is a little uneven and around the shower they did the seams with some silver joiner. It looks cheap and I would not have chosen that look and have never seen that silver capping used anywhere before. The grout on either edge of the silver capping is at uneven depths and needs to be cleaned all the time or it looks bad.

She spent time with us explaining the retrofit process and talking about the details...even down to the manufacturer of the bolts and hardware they would use. It was great. Jeff uploaded all of the necessary photos, measurements and whatnot to the EBB website and got our permit. It was a labor free process on our end. Once we were approved, they had a crew of five out to our property the next day and busted the whole job out in one go. Everyone was nice and friendly even though they had problems with their tools breaking and it was such a hot day. A week later, Christina came back out and handled the final inspection with the building inspector. It all went so smoothly. I've been under the house, and the work is of excellent quality. They left everything neat and orderly and I feel SO much safer living in earthquake country. I truly feel my house will fare so much better when the big one hits. Thanks Olvera Construction!!
