Rodney is awesome. Great value with someone who cares about the project. Give them a call

We just had our first Christmas with our remodeled kitchen and baths. Excellent workmanship, the guys were great, project planning was flexible, on-time and on-budget with no surprises. Highly recommended. read more

We worked with Rod and his crew of experienced builders for over a year as we navigated a large-scale remodel and addition project at our house. Rod was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He provided valuable advice and guidance along the way. Work was completed efficiently and to a high standard. When any issues would come up (inevitable with so many things going on) we were able to resolve them together without much fuss or headache. Overall, great guy and a contractor I'd work with again in the future. read more

Rodney & Scott at True Craft Builders were incredibly knowledgeable and professional while being friendly and easy to work with. They completed a bathroom remodel and carved out a laundry room. They also replaced the interior doors, replaced a sliding glass door, and did a substantial amount of copper and ABS plumbing work in our 60+ year-old house. They also helped us get some stucco work and get the house painted using some really good subcontractors. They were on budget and on time and delivered a tremendous amount of value to the project. We can't recommend them highly enough. Eric & Holly read more

After some previous bad experiences with contractors I was thrilled to find Rodney @ True Craft Builders. He was knowledgeable and thorough. I finally felt excited to have work done in our home and couldn't be happier with the results! We LOVE our new flooring and the drywall work looks amazing. Thanks to the whole crew! read more

We wanted to convert a window into a patio door so we can have easier access to the backyard. The way our house was setup, in order to get to the backyard you need to go through the garage. We called in 3 different contractors. We only had one requirement, the contractor be licensed, insured, and bonded. Rodney came by, took some measurements, and within a few days prepared a quote for the work. His estimate was very competitive and we picked his company for the job. From the demo, the electrical work, door install, and the painting, everything was professionally done. One thing that really got my attention was how the guys kept things clean. They would pause the work and run the vacuum to keep the work area clean. Thanks to Rodney, Scott, and Ishmael for the great work. read more

This is an overdue but whole hearted big thumbs up review. True Craft Builders are top notch and highly recommended. Rod, Scott, and the guys are great to work with and do great work. They totally rehabbed our kitchen, including pulling out a fireplace. Their work quality is excellent. Scott was a great help when we had issues with our folding slider door. They also helped navigate issues with various appliances. Every morning when I wake and go into the kitchen, I get a big smile on my face! We will definitely have them back for our next project.

Great working with Lester and his crew. Will definitely contact his crew for my next project!! thanks guys

We hired True Craft Builders for a bedroom and bathroom remodel in our 1950s home. Let's just say our house had its fair share of older home surprises and challenges. We were also 6 months pregnant and needed the project completed on schedule in order to have enough time to complete the nursery. Not only was Rodney and his crew extremely professional and skilled, but they finished the project on time and on budget. Communication was great. They were easy to work with and responsive. The bedroom and bathroom are beautiful and just as we had envisioned. 3 years later we're planning our next home project and have already reached out to Rodney for planning. We would highly recommend True Craft Builders! They did a great job! read more

Water damage in my hall bathroom forced me to update an outdated eyesore. A referral sent me to Rodney at True Craft Builders. Rodney was a great partner to work with because he fully explains the remodeling process. Even a small bathroom requires a lot of detail from picking tile, faucets, bathtubs, shower enclosures etc. It can be overwhelming. Rodney's professionalism exceeded my expectations and every member of his crew is respectful and courteous. I am really happy with how the hall bathroom turned out. It's so beautiful. I will definitely be calling True Craft Builders again. read more

Yelp is great already at weeding out mediocre businesses..But with something like picking a contractor, this definitely requires some extra leg work. Before we started our bathroom floor tiling project, we used Yelp to find the top 3 contractors in our area. We then had each of them come in and provide a job estimate. With this process, we found some big variations. Our first 2 contractors were not only late but one of them quoted us an estimate that was over twice our budget! When we met Rodney of True Craft Builders, he was right on-time. He also quickly assessed our project and quoted us a price that was right within our budget. Given this, we decided to go forward with Rodney. Our existing bathroom shower and tub area uses a natural stone from Italy. We wanted the adjacent floor to be tiled with something that would match this. Within a few days, Rodney was able to locate stone tiles that were a perfect match. Given my crazy work schedule, Rodney worked around this and set aside a job date that worked for me. On the day of the project, Rodney and his team showed up again right on-time. They wasted no time and went to work immediately. In just 6 hours, our bathroom floor was perfectly tiled! We could not be more happy with the look and quality of the work. BOTTOM LINE: Really first-rate, high-quality work done with great efficiency and excellent prices. I will definitely be writing more updates since we plan to have True Craft Builders address all our future home improvement projects! read more

I concur with the first reviewer. So glad to know Rod is on his own and doing well; but not a surprise. As a kitchen and bath designer, I worked with Rod for years when he was a foreman for a well established construction company in the bay area. He was the one I dealt with on a daily basis during the entire remodel. On top of things and never dubious about expressing his need to keep the job on schedule and running smoothly, Rod would keep me very much in line. And I never wanted to let him down. Looking forward to working with him again. Congratulations to Rodney Pacheco of True Craft Builders. read more

Hands down the best contractors out there. I've worked with a lot of contractors, and am truly blown away by their professionalism, QUALITY of work, courtesy, PRICE, respect, service. Rodney was really great at communicating from start to finish. Whenever a change was made, he'd send over a change order that clearly specified what we both agreed. Rodney's entire crew was incredible, their quality of work was a 10. Sean/Chris, specifically, were incredible to work with. Sean always stayed in top of schedule, and made sure things went smoothly. Chris' work speaks wonders, and he also went the extra mile to design a porch for us that we love. We were lucky to find these guys on yelp! We will certainly use this guys again :) read more

Rodney and True Craft built a detached office on concrete slab for us earlier this year. A high quality job, on time and on budget. He matched the look of our house perfectly. Even though ours was a smaller job for him, he was responsive and took time to swing by whenever we had questions. Great work all around. We love the new office. read more

Rod Pacheco and his team are fantastic. We worked with them on a large ($170K+) project in redesigning and relocating our kitchen, removing interior walls, putting in new windows, and creating a great room in our home. The very best thing I can say is that he was on time, on schedule, and on budget. He estimated the job would take 7 months, and he closed in out in 8. After the estimating and contract signing period, the project started on time and the 4 week delay was due to permitting administration with the city. During the delay he communicated with us at every step to inform of progress and what the issues were -- we really appreciated that. The budget overages from the initial estimate were due to our choices in upgrading some materials; we never saw changes in pricing due to issues on his end. His crew was fast, smart, offered suggestions when appropriate, and the worksite was immaculate at the end of every day. His subcontractors were as professional as he is. This guy is a serious pro. Polite, creative, sensitive to budget, communicative, and extremely calm (a quality I came to appreciate). He was on site frequently and collaborated very well with our designer. And when any problems came up - not strictly within his responsibility, even - he solved them. read more

Truecraft rocks! We recently used Rod for a significant remodel job that included the inside and exterior of our house. Rod was highly organized, responsive, and always reasonable in his pricing. He also works with great subcontractors and was careful to inspect their work as thoroughly as his own. The project was well managed from start to finish. We only wish we had found him sooner. We used one of the ultra-expensive (and well known) contractors in the East Bay for a previous remodel, and they didn't come close to the quality of the work, overall project management, and value we received from Rod. He's also a great guy. We couldn't be happier with him and recommend Truecraft without hesitation. read more

We were lucky indeed to have True Craft Builders do a remodeling project for us. The quality was superb. Rodney worked well with both me and our architect, and he was always happy to accommodate as new ideas occurred to us. When problems arose--even those not strictly within his baileywick--Rodney was there to help make things right. Rodney and his carpenters Ozzie and David ensured that the carpentry was done not just according to plan but with added details and touches that might have gone unnoticed by some clients but were highly appreciated by me. If you value quality work, they're your guys. Then he managed a series of tradesmen who transformed a rough, unfinished space into a beautifully finished room. read more

All I can say is that Truecraft builders were the best contractors I have ever used. They did two jobs for me on my old house and for both the work and the customer service/communication was fantastic. One of the jobs was a kitchen update and finishing off an unfinished area into a den and the other was a significant amount of exterior and water damage repair. The second was during the start of covid and they were incredibly respectful of the protocols and we always felt safe as the worked. Rod who was our main contact gave very honest, clear, and accurate estimates and was constantly in contact throughout the work providing updates almost daily. For me this was so nice as I was never chasing them down for information or updates. On top of all that they work they did for us was top caliber and I would totally use them again and recommend them to anyone in the Bay Area! read more

Working with everyone from True Craft Builders was a pleasure and we now have a beautiful new kitchen that looks simply amazing. Rod, always steady and calm, maintains a very professional crew that is extremely courteous, neat and really good at their craft. As any other projects it was not without some stressful moments but in the end when Rod says "Don't worry" ... he means it and he gets the seemingly impossible problem solved (Thanks Rod)! The subcontractors he works with are just the best ... all equally impressive and also very professional. Even when things didn't go according to plan ... it all worked out in the end. When we came to the completion part of the project the most impressive thing that Rod did was to critic the work finished and meticulously went over the project to put a fine point on perfection. Not the least expensive construction company in the area, I'm sure ... but as the old saying goes "you get what you pay for" really applies. Rod does not skimp or use low bid materials. Everything is as you would do it for yourself ... if you only knew how. If you decide to go with True Craft Builders you can do so with confidence in a quality job well done. They certainly are the ones we will call for our next home improvement project. read more

Plain and simple, Rodney was awesome to work with. We had to have some stairs fixed a rental condo that we own. We don't live in the area, and it's always nerve-wracking for us anytime we have to find a new worker (plumber, electrician, whatever) to fix the condo without meeting face to face. Thankfully, Rodney was a breeze to work with to coordinate with us and our tenants regarding times to look at the damage and go back to make the repairs. Rodney's bid was less than 50% of another bid that we received, AND he came in under the quoted price. The truth is, he could have charged us what he quoted us, and we'd have paid it and never known better - this guy is very honest. We'll probably have some bigger remodels to do in the future and we'll definitely be calling Rodney. Highly recommended. read more

A solid guy who does solid work. Professionals are hard to come by, in this field. I'm glad to see that so many people have the same high opinion of Rod as I do. It really reinforces the impression that he left on me. Whether it's beyond your skill set, or simply a matter of not having the time, you're in good hands with these guys. read more

These guys were nothing short of amazing. Their remodel work was fantastic (& they did it for less than the other contractors we talked to). But it doesn't stop there; they were polite, ontime, helped with some design questions, & even returned every phone call quickly (we all know how construction workers never do that!). Rod was pleasant & offered a lot of great advice & endless options on our remodel. Next time we have a project, True Craft Builders will get our first, & only call. read more

Rod is a great contractor to work with. Very detailed in his work and how he explains all aspects of the job.

Rod Pacheco is the kind of contractor we all wish we had. He is a problem solver, reliable, professional, and exceptionally skilled. His customer service is excellent & he sees the job through, doing whatever it takes to make his customer happy. His bids are fair and he delivers quality work in a timely manner. After two bath remodels, new lighting, and skylight installations my only complaint is that I don't have more projects to offer him. I would hire him again in an instant and would adopt him if he was available. He's a great guy & I give him my highest recommendation. read more

We were very happy with the work True Craft Builders did for us this past fall. We had a list of upgrades and tasks around the house that were a bit beyond our capabilities. Our list included bathroom upgrades, installation of exhaust fans (through the roof), electrical and more. Rodney communicated clearly for the few days he was at the house working. We felt more than comfortable leaving him to do his thing while we went off to work, and every night when we came home the work areas were clean and orderly. His pricing was comparable to other estimates and his professionalism was above and beyond what we have encountered with other contractors. read more

We hired True Craft Builders to replace another contractor that flaked out on us! Considering the doors were ordered and since Rodney did check the existing openings, he realized there would be extra work and allowed for that in his estimate, so it didn't create an extra. The installation on the doors turned out like they were part of the original house! Great job and would hire True Craft Builders again! Thanks, Dave and Laurie read more

Rodney and his team are awesome. We just bought a home and discovered dry rot, leaks and a crack in a beam under the house. Even during the bidding process Rodney and Sean thoroughly went went through the house and provided recommendations on the best approach to fixing the problem. Other contractors just wanted to put a pillar under the cracked beam. A pillar just seemed like a band-aide to me. Rodney and Sean thought we should replace it. We felt there quality and job ownership was excellent. Additionally, they are all nice guys! When the water needed to be turned off we were warned. They even made sure that we had enough water for our dog. I would not hesitate to use True Craft Builders again! read more

Have done quite a bit of work for these guys and all I can say is they are top notch. The owner Rod is very knowledgeable of the trade. From doing the estimate, to planning the job and materials everything is organized and prompt. All the work is detailed and their finishing skills are excellent. In construction that is huge. His crew is very professional, customer satisfaction orientated, and very clean. I highly recommend these guys for all your contacting needs. read more

Rodney and the True Craft Builders team are awesome! They remodeled my bathroom a few months ago and it turned out beautiful! I didn't use the most expensive materials but they made everything I chose look like a million bucks. They were friendly and professional at all times. Being a single female I felt comfortable with them being in my home, most of the time while I was at work. They were really good about cleaning up at the end of everyday as well. Rodney and his team always answered my calls and emails immediately and never made me feel dumb (this being my first remodel, I'm pretty sure I had some dumb questions!) Plus they went above and beyond to talk to my neighbors regarding some issues that arose during the renovation. I can't say enough good things about these guys and I can't wait to use them again! read more

We got a fabulous result! Rodney and his team gutted and remodeled a full bath for us. From his recommended designer through final County inspections, we were completely pleased with everything he and his crew did for us. Rodney is managing the painting of our house as we vacation. We know we are in good hands when he is in charge. And, we know his pricing is fair and reasonable, especially considering the outstanding level of work he delivers. We have a master bathroom to remodel. We will use Rodney for that project. read more

True Craft Builders are amazing in my book. They are professional, on time, on budget, great price, and respectful of our home. I needed a contractor to fix the walls after our plumber made major holes in them to reroute all the plumbing in our house. Rodney's team did a fantastic job patching, matching the texture of old walls, and making it look as though nothing had ever happened in our house! They were always careful to clean up everything at the end of every day, so we weren't living with dust from the drywall, and they used lots of plastic sheeting to protect the house. Incidentally, Rodney recommended the plumber we used who was also fantastic. I will definitely hire True Craft Builders again if I ever need a contractor. read more

Not only was the workmanship superb with our bathroom remodel, but what a really nice group of guys that came to work on it. Rod is top notch in communicating every step of the way. When a mishap happened with another contractor who installed the window (sure wish I had had Rod do it to begin with), he took care of the problem right away without a fuss. I highly recommend him and his workers (who were spotless in cleaning up after themselves). We already have more projects lined up for him to do. It's so reassuring to know that anytime we need some work done on our home, we can call Rod at True Craft Builders and know the job will be done right. read more

Rodney and his crew were wonderful to work with. Rodney was professional, responsive, and respectful of my needs and budget. From the beginning Rodney was quick to return my calls and start our working relationship. He worked through all of the changes I wanted to make to our estimate as I tried to figure out what was the right amount of money to spend on my kitchen. He and his crew were extremely nice and concerned about giving us exactly what we asked for with high quality craftsmanship. We enjoyed having Rodney, Sean, Chris, and Dan in our home on a regular basis and look forward to working with them again! read more

Rod Pacheco did my kitchen renovation. Outstanding craftsman. Pays attention to details. Fairly priced for the quality of his work. I highly recommend him for any remodel projects. read more

Rodney and crew did an extension of my bedroom and closet recently. Great finished results. These things can be painful but Rodney clearly explained the steps and timelines needed for the process. They actually finished earlier than expected. Each day they cleaned up. The crew was professional as well as personable. I would recommend True craft for your remodeling needs. read more

Rodney and all of his staff are true professionals! Rodney came right over to try and get my small job completed, before the rain. His crew had to come in and finish a project that was started by someone else. They did a great job! Everyday they cleaned up and kept the area so neat, and we're always in good communication with me. Rodney was extremely fair and professional with his bid. I would not hesitate to use True Craft Builders again! read more

All the five star reviews are true. Rodney and Ozzy (not sure of spelling!) were excellent. Our project was smaller and after seeing some of the incredible before and afters of True Craft Builder's work I didn't know if they'd consider our little kitchen project. But Rodney met with me just days after my initial email and helped me get a clear vision of what could be done. He really knows his stuff but never made me feel dumb for asking what I'm sure are obvious questions. The quality of their work and and their professionalism really impressed me. I will be coming back to them for any future projects. read more

After receiving three different bids for a front porch remodel and added gable for my roof, I chose True Craft Builders. Rodney's prices were the most reasonable and I thought he was a really nice guy. I am extremely happy with his (and his crew's) meticulous work and finished product. They were all extremely professional, always on time, came when they said they would, kept me in the loop about planned inspections and what the timeline would be and cleaned their area each day. When problems arose due to architectural inaccuracies on the plan, Rodney was amazing in reworking the problem. He's very creative and is obviously an expert at his craft. The finished product looks amazing. He is definitely my new "go to " general contractor. Do not hesitate to contact him. read more

We had True Craft remodel the master bath at our previous home. They had done such a fabulous job, I almost hated moving and giving up our sweet bathroom. Turned out that our new home needed a master bath update as well. Of course we called Rodney. Rodney and his crew are always courteous, honest, and hard working. They communicated with us and made sure we were happy with how the job was turning out. They were good at problem solving when we discovered little snags after opening the walls and floor. True Craft did another fabulous job, and we got pretty close to the same bathroom in our previous home. read more
