The scope was extensive, including entirely new HVAC, plumbing, and electrical throughout and we are thrilled with the results. As someone who works with many contractors professionally, I was particularly impressed by Anthony's "open-book" transparency and honesty. He was incredibly patient and collaborative with high-level finishing details, consistently working to meet our exacting expectations. If you want a builder who prioritizes integrity and craftsmanship, I highly recommend MCD. Thank you, Anthony!

They are the real deal; the workmanship is top-notch and their prices are totally fair. We had the inevitable project speed bumps, like unknown structural issues or 80 year-old plumbing issues; but Anthony and has team were quick to come up with solutions, and they were able to work with me to keep additional costs under control. We had no issues with any sub-contractors and were just as pleased with their work. He's chosen some great people to partner with. Even though the the project is now complete, Anthony has committed to coming back for a couple very minor follow-ups. 10/10, highly recommend and would definitely work with again.

We've been working with Nick from Sunrise Homestead on the design for a major remodel of our…read morekitchen and dining room, and the experience has been wonderful. We were drawn to his past work and trusted right away that he could bring our vision to life. Even in the design phase, Nick's attention to detail and thoughtful approach have really stood out. He is warm, approachable, and easy to talk with--our meetings have been collaborative, enjoyable, and often filled with personal touches and stories that made the process feel comfortable and inspiring. Nick has guided us through material choices with great care, bringing beautifully vetted samples and unique, locally sourced options for wood, tile, and finishes. His passion for quality and sustainability really shines through, and we've loved his creative solutions and ability to offer custom, one-of-a-kind ideas to make the space truly our own. So far, working with Nick has been both fun and reassuring--we feel confident that when it comes time to build, our kitchen and dining room will be even more beautiful than we imagined.

Nick is a licensed general contractor and extraordinary carpenter with a great eye for detail. He is classically trained with a BFA in sculpture from University of the Arts in Philadelphia and exhibit buildout at SFMOMA. He checked all the boxes at our first on-site meeting and revisits. He was on time, on budget, an excellent listener and terrific communicator, highly skilled craftsman and problem solver, true to form with the best tools and matching materials, self-proclaimed nit-picky perfectionist, fine finish matching and all around nice guy. Nick is honest, quick to respond, perfect on the details, has very high standards, and is very caring and positive, gracious and modest. He used the existing design not reinventing the wheel and most likely would have improved the gateway design given the chance. Nick is an exceptionally talented contractor with many years of creative problem solving. To repeat, he has a great eye for detail and sculpted, integrated, seamless design with unique elements evidenced by his extensive portfolio. I never felt the need to micromanage him. He is terrific at remote site communication and management. We live in the East Bay and the owner is in Hawaii which adds a level of complexity to remote destination work. I stepped back remotely and admired Nick's process with timely before and after pictures. The end result was outstanding! We will definitely use Nick on our next project, very highly recommended!

He walked us through every step of the process, and was always available for every question or concern that we had. Some contractors take a day or two to return your calls. Not Phil (or his wife, Michelle). He would either pick up immediately, or call us back in a few hours. He was always transparent, and willing to explain everything in great detail. His guys are fabulous to work with, and are such hard workers. Their craftsmanship and care for their work really shows. He also stands by his work. When we had an issue with some water leakage, he came immediately to fix it and covered all of the expenses. Hire Phil. You won't regret it. You won't get a flaky contractor. His work is beautiful, and we love our new home.

Even though it was a relatively minor job, he had someone come over the next morning at 7am to quickly repair it, at reasonable prices. The person who did the work - Barrett - could not have been more professional or personable. Huge thanks to Howard Construction - who I will be using for any construction work, large or small, going forward.

Not Justin, extremely hands on, responsible and integral. Albatross construction will always be the first call I make

Electrical, plumbing and painting work were also needed. Having never undertaken any type of project on the house before, I relied on photos and reviews of previous clients. Working with Daniel and his crew day to day for a total of 4 weeks, I have nothing but great things to say about the entire experience. Daniel's crew are punctual, respectful, professional and always cleaned up at the end of each day. Daniel carefully listened to all of my needs for this project and once completed, all stated needs were met. I will definitely be working with Daniel again for many upcoming projects. It was a pleasure working with all of them and I recommend them to anyone looking for any home improvement work to be done on their home.

This was a frustrating and unprofessional experience from start to finish. We initially received a…read moreproposal, but once work started, we realized some things needed to be adjusted. We asked THREE times for a revised price, and each time, we got nothing but excuses. He kept stalling and avoiding giving us an updated proposal, which was a huge red flag. I finally had to issue a stop-work order because I wasn't going to let things continue without knowing what I was actually being charged. Then, that night, he suddenly sends over a new proposal--full of charges for work that was NEVER done and an extra $1,000 that was never agreed upon. To make matters worse, there was never a signed contract. By law, a contract must be signed before work can begin, yet he completely ignored this requirement. That alone should tell you everything you need to know about how he does business. On top of that, I looked him up on the state contractor's board and couldn't even find a license. Maybe I missed it, but the fact that I had to go looking in the first place is a massive red flag. If he's unlicensed, that's a serious issue, and if he is licensed, he certainly doesn't act like a professional. The only reason I'm even giving one star is because the painter he brought in was actually great. Otherwise, this would be a zero-star review. Save yourself the headache, the stress, and the money--stay FAR away from this company

Highly recommend Brett and Crazy Viking Construction.

As a new home owner, having to do stuff for the house is still quite an unknown journey for me. And…read moreso, when we had wood rot on our balcony beam replaced, I was not excited to get it figured out. I read many reviews on Yelp, and after evaluating many contractors, I decided to use Yelp's project tool to contact Clark Innovative. When you do this, you get responses from many other companies too. Many reached out before Chris from Clark did. I ended up making an appointment with one of them to have them take a look at it. This person began has contract biz recently... and he did not seem confident. The way he was looking at it, he was reacting in a way that seemed like it's a bit of a pain in the you-know-what job and said it was going to cost a lot. He was a nice guy, but he did not instill confidence in me that he knew what he was doing. (He never even sent me a bid) After that, I wondered if I should reach out to these other companies that responded, but my intuition was telling me to wait a bit longer. Clark did eventually respond with apologies, and made an appointment to come look. They looked at it and just the way he was acting, I could tell this person knew what they were doing, and they came up with a solution to just replace the rotted portion, saving us half the cost! (So yeah, I believe the innovative part of their name!) It was all incredibly reasonable. Dates were pushed back etc, because of rain and other things, but I honestly didn't mind it. Chris tried to be a good communicator, and even when he wasn't, I could contact him and he'd respond. He was just busy. Sometimes, you can just tell with people who is being genuine. Who wants to simply do a good job for you, without gouging you or ripping you off. We need more of these people in the world right now. I'm glad I listened to my intuition, and waited for the right company to do the job. And I will definitely use them again for future work. It's really nice to have a good contractor in our back pocket.
