I called and left a message for Steve at Tri-Valley Construction, (TVC), regarding a defective 1/4-turn water supply line valve that needed to be replaced in our laundry room. This involved removing sheetrock, cutting pipes, installing new valves, then replacing the sheetrock, applying plaster and texture, and finally painting. This was way above my pay grade, so I reached out to Steve. Within minutes, he got back to me. He asked for photos and provided an estimate with a range, depending on the complexity of what they found. Steve sent his crew over just a few hours later to begin the project. Victor and Edgar arrived, and within minutes, the Sawzall was going to town on our wall. I'll admit, I had my reservations, but it quickly became clear that these guys knew what they were doing. Each phase required a return visit to allow the individual coats of plaster to dry, etc. Our water was only turned off for about an hour or so during the entire project, and the finished product was very good. We're now considering TVC for other projects. I would not hesitate to recommend them! read more

If you are looking for a contractor in the Tri-Valley area who is reliable, skilled, and genuinely invested in his clients' satisfaction, look no further than Stephen. read more

We have been using Tri-Valley construction for few years and every visit is more wonderful than the last one. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly people and you can rest assured that they will not charge you for every single item they use. Stephen is a great guy to work with however I have met few of his team members over the years and love their work just as much. I am a very happy customer and will continue to work with them and recommend them to everyone. read more

I couldn't be happier with the remodel Tri-Valley Construction did on my master bathroom. The project included a new window, toilet, vanity, walls, flooring--everything--and the results are beautiful. He was incredibly patient while I took my time choosing materials and finishes, never rushing me and always offering helpful guidance. Just as important, he was reasonable and stayed within my budget, which I truly appreciated. The quality of the work is excellent, and his crew was professional, respectful, and great to have in my home. They showed up when they said they would and paid attention to every detail. It's clear they take pride in what they do. I'm so pleased with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Tri-Valley Construction to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and considerate contractor. read more

We recently had a great experience with Tri Valley Construction. We generated a list of handyman task we wanted completed and sent them to Steve for review. A few days later Steve came to our home to give us a fair estimate. I gave Steve the green light and we were placed in their schedule two weeks later. The technician arrived on time and was able to complete the task list in four hours. Thumbs up for Tri Valley Construction. read more

Tri-Valley Construction framed and installed a new wall in our loft, making it into a closed-in bedroom. Steve and his crew were excellent to work with. Very pleasant and professional. The new wall looks great! Would definitely recommend Tri-Valley for your next home renovation project. read more

This review relates to a job 3 years ago, so I can't speak to current workmanship. Steve and crew completed a full kitchen remodel plus several other projects. Overall, the result was great, however, there were several concerns regarding poor workmanship and lack of accountability, which meant I was thrown in to play general contractor on occasions. In the demo phase, Steve and his offsider broke a floor lamp, laughed about it and never replaced/compensated. Not a big cost but unprofessional. After running a new gas line behind the new wall, they punctured the pipe and had to cut into a perfectly fine section of drywall in our front entranceway. The drywall patch job was horrible (it's still noticeable) but Steve absolutely refused to correct the quality of the work. When he installed a new wall oven, after I had provided him with the install manual with specs and location data, Steve installed the internal (wall) connection in the wrong location, and instead of being directly behind the oven and out of sight, it is in the middle of the storage cupboard above the oven and impedes usage. Absolute amateur mistake and he never corrected it. The fact that a professional didn't take more pride in his work and reputation, and not to stand behind it to ensure customer satisfaction is no way to run a business, IMO. It's a shame as Steve seemed like a nice guy. Hopefully, my experience was an anomaly. read more

Steve and crew have done several projects for us including interior skylight well addition, laundry room remodel, flooring, indoor/outdoor electrical projects, drywall work, and various other small projects. And whenever we need more work done, we're calling Steve because we're so happy with his work. Steve is so easy to work with - flexible, friendly, conscientious, and reliable. And Victor, one of his employees, does great work too! As an example of how responsive Steve is - our water heater started leaking recently. Not sure what to do, I called Steve (even though he was had completed our remodel project weeks before). He came over within 20 mins, drained the water heater for me, and referred me to a plumber he knows (had we wanted to install another gas water heater, I would have asked Steve do it, but we decided to switch to a heat pump). And he did all of this at no charge! I also think that Steve's prices are competitive and reasonable. And it's very important to him that the customer is happy with his work. Love Steve! Highly recommend! read more

We had Steve and his crew first remodel our master bathroom adding a shower and another sink. They did such a nice job I then hired them to remodel our upstairs bathroom. Steve is very professional and a great communicator. He had good advice when needed. They always go the extra step. The only delays were caused by changes I made. Highly recommend TriValley Constuction for your remodeling needs. read more

Steve did a medium size remodel for us - small extension, kitchen and bathroom remodel along with the required electrical upgrades. Steve was very professional through the process, gave honest advice and was clear and prompt in his communication. Good pricing and ethical, got the project done on time despite unexpected challenges. He and his crew were respectful and easy to work with. read more

Steve and his crew did a total remodel of our small bathroom. We couldn't be more pleased, it is exactly what we envisioned for my dream bathroom! The job was completed on schedule and as mentioned in previous reviews there were no hidden costs. He is ethical and gave great advice. He and his crew were on time, worked hard and were always respectful. read more

Professional. Caring. Dependable. Ethical. BEST Pricing. Steve went above and beyond with my bathroom remodel. When Home Depot failed twice to deliver my prefab shower, and informing me that they no longer had one in stock (3 weeks after ordered and bathroom torn apart to bare wood). I was in despair. Steve never abandoned me, even after calling in his plumber twice when Home Depot failed. He checked in with me every few days and in the end came up with a Tiler who would do it for a fraction of the cost given by another company. Steve (Plumber & Tile) got the job done within a week after all else failed. I hear of so many nightmare remodels that have to do with the Contractor. Steve is above board and just a really nice person. read more

We found Steve and Tri-Valley Construction after someone recommended him on our Next Door app. We had already called several companies inquiring about replacing our old Trex deck with a new one. Either we never got a call back or were told that they were booked out for several months, but Steve came through! We had a tight timeline as the new deck needed to be ready by the end of the month. Not only was our timeline met (actually by a few days!) but the results were stunning (see pic that Steve posted of brown Trex deck in Pleasanton). Every call and text were responded to in a timely matter. Best of all, Steve and his crew were easy to work with, very knowledgeable and honest. read more

Steve was fantastic. From beginning to end, he delivered great, personalized service and very reasonable pricing for the labor performed. He was punctual and there were no hidden costs associated with any of the work performed, which is always appreciated. Will definitely be using Steve and his business for future projects! read more

Steve was great in the beginning when he came over to give us an estimate. He responded quickly when we asked him to do the bigger job. He actually had another person do the deck job. But when we asked him to come for the smaller jobs, he did not bother responding to my text and voice messages. I guess he's only good for bigger projects. I get that, but he should at least return calls. Quite unprofessional. read more

I needed to replace a water damaged under-the-sink cabinet floor board and found Steve on Yelp. Steve was very professional. He explained what he would do, and quoted a reasonable price. He even offered a reference to a professional cabinet maker if I wanted to replace with a cabinet quality board. It's refreshing to find an honest vendor like Steve these days. (My last recent experience with a contractor wanted me to replace my garage door when all was needed was a new circuit board for the garage door opener.) I will definitely call up Steve for future projects! read more

Steve made quick work of a stubborn dishwasher and a broken shower knob. What I appreciated most were his timely responses and flexibility. He was incredibly easy to work with, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. We would definitely recommend and use again! read more

Steve sanded and restained our deck. He came by the day I called to quote job, and scheduled the work to start just a few days later. Two days later, the deck is done and looks great. Steve was clear about what he would do and his pricing. Clear communication and great work, highly recommended. read more

Steve and crew did an incredible job repiping our house after a pipe break under the slab. I had called all the usual plumbers in Pleasanton, and was getting the usual delay/put off/lack of enthusiasm (they have plenty of work, so why be overly helpful?). When I found a referral to Steve on Nextdoor, I sent him a late night email, and had a response early the next morning. He came over right away, was very clear in what our options are, and came up with some great ideas on how to accomplish the repair, which far improved our whole house plumbing. He and his crew did a fabulous job (which was permitted through the city), used top-of-the-line materials (impressing the inspectors), and I would recommend him anytime for any project - his problem solving skills are tremendous, and he is a very kind and thoughtful person all the way through. It was not an easy job, but he kept a great attitude throughout. read more

Called for an estimate to replace my water heater, came out the next day and did the work the following day! Quality work at a fair price. Will be using these guys again! read more

Steve Dickinson, Owner of Tri-Valley Construction is a great electrician. He came right out to my house and solved a ceiling fan switch electrical issue. Great service and great prices. Highly recommended. read more

Steve was as professional as it can get, just fantastic to work with right from the get go, be it in getting an estimate, to scheduling and completing on time. I reached out to Steve (based on a recommendation on next door), when my existing contractor was messing up with my Kitchen remodeling. I used Steve & his crew to help me with Electrical work (Rough electrical, lighting & final electrical work). Seeing his quality of work & speed, i also asked him to help me out with Hood & Oven installation. Steve was very reasonably priced (no hidden costs!!!!), punctual and pleasure to work with (answering all my Qs, responding promptly to texts/calls). I highly recommend Steve & would hire him for other projects in my house. read more
