They really listened to our concerns about the existing condition of our home and what I (assumed) could/couldn't be fixed and done, he explained the process clearly, and gave great recommendations along the way. The crew worked SO hard, including long days and some weekends, and put so much care into the job and dedicated to doing it RIGHT. My house was built in 1924, and somehow they made it look brand new again which was beyond my expectations. They sanded everything down, checked the health of the wood, and even let us know where replacements were needed. They were also super thoughtful and worked with us on our color preferences and really made sure everything came out perfect. What impressed me most is how detail-oriented they are. Every step (from grinding and priming to caulking and painting) was done with so much pride, precision and mastery. They care and take pride in their work, and it absolutely shows in the end result. It is not a surprise why so many of our neighbors have worked with them. These young men are incredibly hardworking, respectful, and professional. PERIOD. They went above and beyond, and we feel grateful to have made the call to work with them. We 10000% recommend them to anyone, and we will definitely be calling them again for future work.

They stained the wood shingles and painted the trim. The house looks amazing. The crew showed up on time and worked so hard to clean each and every shingle before staining. They just finished prepping and painting the house we live in yesterday. They prepped and painted a stucco house where it's been about 20 years since the last painting. Phill's son Phillip worked with me to match colors and textures all along demonstrating his experience. The house looks amazing and I'm super picky. The price was good for both projects and I received multiple bids on both. I highly recommend them based on their exceptional work with us on our two homes.

My neighbor personally recommended me Farallon Company.  Upon thorough research, I discovered that their satisfaction rate was way above their peers. I decided to contact the company. Fernando and Jonathan Oliveira were very professional from the beginning to the end of the project. Their crew worked tirelessly to complete the job, putting in long hours and even working on Saturdays. Whether or not Fernando or his son, Jonathan, was present to oversee their work, the crew remained focused, efficient, and methodical, handling the challenging job with ease despite its difficult conditions. Fernando's expertise, coupled with Jonathan's flexibility, enabled them to navigate any obstacles that arose during the project. I really enjoyed that it is a family-owned business and that Fernando came from Portugal over 40 years ago, bringing with him his knowledge about construction from the old continent to the Bay Area. You can tell he knows what he is talking about when he goes over details with you. I am glad to see his son taking over the business and learning from his dad. I might need excavation work in 2024 on a different property and will definitely use their services again! Thank you!

The wall involved piers going into bedrock 15-20 feet below the soil surface, then a 10 foot retaining wall on top. Along the way, Fernando and John gave me great feedback and worked with my architect, structural engineer, and soil engineers to keep costs down as much as possible. They also gave me some complimentary guidance on my future plans with my backyard. During project, their crew were there often onsite for 10+ hour days, sometimes 6 days a week. They even worked through some 100+ degree days. I was always happy to see the consistent progress on the project over the 3 months it took. I would highly recommend Farallon for their attention to detail, execution, and quality.
