Ricky and his team started construction on a retaining wall for us. They left a huge gaping hole in our backyard for over 4 months, allowing rain to erode the hillside and create a dangerous situation for us and our neighbors. They took $40K from us and left us with a nightmare. Ricky also took money from my neighbors and did not complete the promised work in their yard. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY. read more

We hired Ricky and the team at Valenz Construction in early 2023 to do a huge renovation on our house. It involved gutting out and starting over for the entire house, as well as reconstructing one end of it from the foundation up. It was complicated by the fact that we continued to live and work from the home throughout. We can honestly say that Ricky and the team from Valenz were a genuine pleasure to work with. Their care and willingness to work with us--and around us!--at every step of the project was nothing short of remarkable. We also always felt that Ricky was treating us fairly, honestly, and profoundly honorably throughout the entire project. The careful work, flexibility, and never-ending good cheer from everyone was simply remarkable and touched us deeply. We think of it every day as we enjoy the wonderful house Ricky and everyone at Valenz Construction created for us. read more

David and his team did a great job remodeling our bathroom. Alvaro did all the plumbing, but he is really multi-talented, a jack of all trades. Henry is the texture/paint guy. He is young, but I considered him an artist. I can sometimes be a perfectionist, but everyone was very accommodating and I am very happy with the final product. read more

David and his wonderful workers remodeled our bathrooms and resurfaced and painted our walls. We loved them from start to finish-- they did beautiful work, were honest, fair, diligent, and trustworthy. We feel so lucky to have found them. read more

We had Ricky and team come out and refurbish an old shed and even built a new one along side it once we knew how great of work the team has done. Ricky was communicative throughout the entire process and I felt like the pricing he quoted us was very fair and transparent. I also appreciated Ricky's suggestions and recommendations when it came down to making my vision come to life. After the project completed, we had a very minor issue, but Ricky was able to follow-up in a timely manner and was able to work around all this rain we've had this season. Really felt like I had a trusted partner throughout this process. I know moving forward, if I needed any contracting work done, I'm calling Ricky. read more

Ricky and his team did a wonderful job! Him and his team helped us remodel 3 bathrooms at a competitive price. I had other walkthroughs with other contractors and they all gave me higher price points. Ricky, always had a smile on his face, was very easy to communicate with, respected our wishes and vision for the space and implemented it well. Sure a few mistakes were made along the way (but that's bound to happen with anyone) however with each one his team was quick on the scene to help adjust/fix whatever we requested and/or noticed. There were also small task I needed help with like moving a heavy washer and dryer and building some shelves for a closet and his team handle that for me no problem. His office assistant - Hannah, is also very lovely. She responds quickly and very easy to communicate with. I Would highly recommend hiring Valenz Construction! read more

Ricky and his team continue to impress. I've recently completed a few major renovation projects including an ADU, and I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Ricky takes a lot of the stress and guesswork out of the project and he's honest. I recommend him to my own friends and family! read more

Valenz Construction did a complete renovation with our 50 yr old family home in Pleasant Hill Project included full renovation which included new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, roofing, painiting, electrical, concrete, plumbing, etc. You name it, David and his crew stepped up and assisted us here. Fair pricing, solid work and good people. A great experience with a contractor is not the norm imo. Solid contractor I'd work with again and recommend. read more

Ricky remodeled our Piedmont home's exterior in 2021, including the addition of an ADU. Then in April of 2022, I learned that we would be relocating to Europe. The interior remodel that Ricky and I had been planning needed to be started and finished in a hurry. Ricky completed the whole job on time and within budget and our renter was able to move in on August 1, 2022. We could not have accomplished that with just any contractor. Ricky and his team worked days, nights, and weekends, and they helped us line up subcontractors for cutting the kitchen counters, and refinishing the hardwood floors, etc. I would say that I am pretty easy to work with, but I am also a perfectionist. All the work that Ricky and his team did on my home was of the highest quality and I could not be happier with the results. My home went from the Ugly Duckling on the street to one of the prettiest. Ricky and his team are good people who do great work and I would hire this team again and again. Thank you Ricky! read more

Valenz Construction - Ricky replaced windows and doors, added insulation as well new siding and finally painted the exterior. - General Contractors Near Me

My wife and I highly, HIGHLY recommend Ricky, David, and the whole Valenz Construction family! From the first meeting until the final day, Ricky was knowledgeable, handy, responsive, responsible, courteous, friendly, the list goes on. Long story short, the remodeling of the entire front exterior of our house (as well as painting the entire exterior of the house) went remarkably smooth, and any hiccups that occurred, Ricky was there to immediately address and fix. We will be using them for any other renovations and are so happy to have gotten to know Ricky and his family. This was the first renovation we've ever done, and like everyone else, we were pretty worried about the costs of construction and getting involved with a bad contractor (we have heard so many bad stories). We actually had a contractor before Valenz Construction, but we did not feel he was willing to take the time to walk us through all the details, costs, and concerns we had about the project, he was more of a "my way or the highway" type, so we parted ways with him. My advice here is to trust your intuition on hiring contractors. You can terminate your relationship with them any time until they start breaking ground. Ricky, on the other hand, on our first meeting was warm and engaging and willing to slowly walk us through all the steps and how he would go about doing the remodel. Every step of the process with Ricky was great: the estimate included a breakdown of all costs, a timeline of each step to get to completion, and an estimated time of completion (they finished on time!). His costs as compared with other estimates we got were very reasonable and transparent. When the work finally started, Ricky and his dad, David, and his team of brothers and other workers were all incredibly friendly to us and our neighbors, and were very respectful of our property, cleaning up every day. David kept my worries in check, telling me not to worry about the process, that they had it under control, and walked me through any questions I had. Any questions that they had of me, they would also offer recommendations if I asked, and were very patient with my lack of knowledge about so many nuances of construction. We had one hiccup when a subcontractor did the concrete demolition and broke an underground pipe but didn't tell anyone and then covered it in freshly poured concrete. Ricky felt terrible, but took full ownership and said whatever additional costs were incurred to fix the issue, his company would pay for it. They fixed the issue in one day, and we were moving forward. Amazing. I'll note that sometimes problems will come up that are up to the homeowner to cover. For example, we didn't know that there was no plyboard underneath the stucco on our house, so once the stucco was demo'd out, we had to install plyboard before we put up the siding, which was an additional unknown cost to us, but something that had to be done. My wife and I really can't say enough about Valenz Construction. We have gotten SO many compliments on our house, and it's all thanks to these guys for helping us craft our vision into reality. They've gotten a lot of deserved recommendations from our neighbors, and we hope you will take this recommendation to heart as well. One last thing that I have not mentioned specifically about Ricky, David, and Valenz Construction is integrity. Every interaction and every cost or additional item discussed was detailed in full and I always felt they were working in my best interests to do the best thing at the right cost. It's really hard to know when you have someone with integrity in the construction business because it's so easy to change things here and there that will add costs to the homeowner over time, but after working with Ricky and his family, I always felt that their integrity led them to do their jobs the right way all the time. 5 Stars and more for Valenz Construction, you're the best!! P.S. If you're curious, Valenz Construction was responsible for all work on the remodel of the house except the following - all of whom, by the way, I have provided 5 Star reviews because they were amazing as well! Who knew we could be so lucky on our first ever remodel: Garage doors - Reliable Garage Doors of Concord Landscaping - Jannisse & Sons Pavers - Solo Pavers read more

Professional, prompt, easy to work with, I strongly recommend Valenz Construction. Ricky remodeled our bathroom in two weeks, new tile, new shower, new paint, and gave a brand new life to the room. He dealt with the plumbing, the painting the electricity and the tiling with ease. Very safe in terms of Covid, always wore a mask. He and his workers were polite and professional. Ricky always got back to us right away. This is our first time using Ricky, and we will be using his company again. read more

Valenz Construction - Shower - General Contractors Near Me

Complete bathroom and subfloor remodel. Beautiful tile and workmanship. Stayed with the project until complete/and I kept adding on things to do as it went. No problems at all. I finally have a responsible, reputable licensee contractor to use going forward. Not only that, Ricky had great ideas and a sense for what would look good, and he was right. Dependable and reasonable, easy to work with. read more

Ricky and his team did an excellent job on our project! We needed two bathrooms updated, along with the entry way of our office building. Not only was his pricing the best out of the 5 bids that we received, his crew took their time and did it right! I have worked with dozens of contractors and I have learned that it is best to communicate, trust, and verify as the work is happening. Ricky's easy going nature made him really easy to work with and once I got a sense that he understood exactly what we needed, there was nothing more to worry about. I work with Valenz Construction again in a heartbeat!!! read more

Ricky and his crew were professional and efficient in doing a basement touch up and concrete installation job for me (updating existing concrete). I'd highly recommend him and his crew, from accurate and competitive estimates to a job well done and being responsive to customer needs! read more

Valenz construction is a great company. We had a limited time to get a lot of work done at our property, such as drywall repairs, interior and exterior painting, and many other tasks that they were happy to help us accomplish. Hire this company for great service and also reasonable pricing. read more

Ricky and his crew are efficient and most importantly do amazing work from top to bottom and the right way! No shortcuts! Everything is quality work! read more

David showed up on time to do the estimate, and quoted an ok price. I admit that I have some sticker shock on prices in California after moving from Texas, but I guess it was fair. He also said he could put up some light fixtures for me. His crew showed up on time and I have to admit, they did an excellent job. There was no mess whatsoever. They did an excellent job cutting lines around trim. They finished on time. I was very pleased. I would absolutely recommend them. read more

The work tiling my kitchen floor was beautiful. The communication was thorough and the follow-up has been wonderful. The men who worked at our house were professional, prompt, and knowledgeable. I would definitely work with them again! read more

Executive summary: I'd trust this vendor with any paint job I have. He's thorough, excellent, and reasonable. Price is fair. Attention to detail exemplary. Clean up and customer service first rate. You can trust this guy. Long story: I deal with vendors and contractors on a regular basis - it's part of my job managing properties around the Bay Area. But when it comes to painting my own home - well, that's where the antenna really go up and I really want to be careful. After getting thorough estimates from several painting contractors (each were highly rated on Yelp), I ended up with bids which unsurprisingly ran the gamut in terms of cost. When it comes to this kind of work, price is NOT everything - but I was encouraged that given the scope of work, Valenz Paint and Trim was very reasonable. Just as important to me, of all the contractors bidding Valenz was the ONLY one who really seemed to want the job. Sometimes your gut tells you who the right vendor is. Completion was timely. I was informed of small deviations from schedule well in advance. Every worker who came to the site was courteous, professional and did excellent work. I'm very pleased both with the final job and with the experience working with this vendor. Highly recommended. read more

I chose Valenz Construction to paint the interior of my home after reading through their Thumbtack reviews, all of which gave high marks on the company's quality of work. Even with expectations set high, Valenz Construction exceeded them by delivering an elegant paint job. They turned rooms that before were drab in color into ones that are warm, vibrant, and inviting. In addition, when inspecting their work, I saw no visible flaws (i.e. fading, discoloration, blotches, or streaks). I, along with my wife, couldn't be more happy with the results. Ricky, who led the project, was upfront and informative about the specific steps his team would take to move the project to completion, responsive to my questions, and diligent in ensuring that the end result was of quality and done by the targeted completion date. If you find yourself in need of help with substantial enhancements or repairs to your home, I'd highly recommend going with Valenz Construction. read more

We had a pipe burst in the heavy rains that happened in January and they got it repaired under the threat of rain.

They did a great job! Good communication, price and very trust worthy. Definitely recommend and will use again!

Ricky and his team at Valenz Construction did an amazing job taking down a dozen or so white boards that were adhered to our conference room walls. There was a crazy amount of patch work to be done and his team really knocked it out and made it look amazing in preparation for getting the office painted. Ricky was super professional and very friendly and his team was awesome. If we ever have work to be done in the future I know who to call! read more

Ricky and team are awesome and go above and beyond!! They redid the siding and painted my house and it looks great!

The people at Valenz Construction are as honest, efficient, friendly, helpful, and professional as you will find anywhere. They seem to be able to do anything, and they do it with care. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

David came highly rated on Angie's List but our experience was not favorable. Actually we thought he was horrible. It was a whole house interior job and his brother painted the baseboards with flat latex. I pointed it out to David and he said that was how they "always do it" with small (2" high) baseboards. No good painter would do that! Baseboards get scuffed and need to be washable, regardless of how prominent they are. He did send someone else back to redo them but he was sloppy and got a lot of paint on the carpets and onto the walls that weren't supposed to be painted. Worse, David called to say that the guy would be hours late because he son was sick, but when the guy showed up it turned out the he had a second job that he was on-call for and said that David knew that. I think David is a nice guy and he bent over backwards to try to make things right, but he seems to not be able to admit mistakes. I understand mistakes but I don't understand lies. We're nice people - we'd understand if the brother was new and didn't know abt painting baseboards with a washable paint and if the other guy needed to come another day. A simple apology instead of excuses would have made all the difference. In the end, we didn't let him come back to try to fix the mess - we just wanted them out of our house. Perhaps the reviews with a positive experience were serviced by David himself, but our job was handled by what felt like non-professionals. David did come by briefly a couple of times, but he never lifted a brush that I'm aware of. Additionally, he was no cheaper than the other bids. We selected him because of the glowing Angie's List reviews and were mightily disappointed and felt ripped off. The job and excuses deserved only one star, but he really wanted to make things right, so we give him an extra star for that. read more

We had some water damage from the big rains in October 2021, and needed to rip out some old tile, and put in new tile in a storage closet - maybe 60 square feet. Not a big job, and I thought I'd have a difficult time finding a contractor right now. Ricky responded quickly, and they started a couple of days later and completed the job early. They also charged a VERY fair price - I had bids that were much higher. Very friendly, informative, on time, quality work and clean. I will definitely use them again for other work. read more

I chose Valenz Construction to remove and install a brand new toilet in my upstairs bathroom. Ricky and his crew were very nice and really professional. They were scheduled to come at 1, and they came on time. Ricky and his team were very quick as well. They finished within 40 minutes. I would highly recommend Valenz Construction to anyone. They are fast, reliable, and very professional. I will definitely be contacting Ricky and his team for future remodeling. read more

I have some valuable pieces of furniture that desperately needed TLC. After extensive research for someone who can renovate my pricey collectibles, I came across David.

Valenz construction completed a cantilevered deck remodel with a high degree of quality and professionalism. Ricky communicated frequently providing updates. Their crew left the site clean after the workday and at the end of the project. I will be looking to use them on new projects. Other deck remodel and repair contractors quoted outrageous fees and uncertainty. Valenz new what was required and no issues occurred. Very pleased! read more

We recently bought a home in San Ramon, CA. I found David on Angie's List and based on the reviews we received an estimate from him and two others. The entire process was by telephone as I was still on the east coast. David's price was competitive and my wife (who had already relocated) met David and we contracted his services. Originally, we only wanted to paint the exterior white trim of the house - but because David is so thorough, we were able to see the 'true' condition of the house after it was completely power washed. We ended up having the entire exterior painted and the house looks brand new. As for the interior, his team was courteous, immaculate, and did a spectacular job. We have soft corners (like many homes in CA) on the walls and these guys were able to cut one room into the next seamlessly. David was here while our floors were being installed and had to wait to finish the baseboard molding - he actually called me to let me know that a part of the floor was incorrectly installed and he wouldn't install the moldings until it was done right. Who does that? Sure enough, the flooring folks came back and corrected the problem. His team was great too - they signed for UPS packages, let in some other vendors, just all around great people and a great experience. After the movers came and went, we had a ton of scuffs of the walls from the move-in. David came back and touched up everything. As I have found from researching just about everything from service providers to appliances, people have varying degrees of satisfaction regarding the same people or products. Our experience with David was nothing short of great. Highly recommended. read more

Amazing company. Family owned business that did an amazing work on a painting and flooring installation. Worked with Ricky and he was just a pleasure to work with. Super responsive, very reasonable with price. He did a great job setting expectations and the job was finished ahead of schedule! I really appreciated his dedication to quality and was quick to spot and correct anything that wasn't up to his standards (which were higher than my own!). Great company and would definitely hire them again. read more

Ricky and his team can do it all! They have done work inside and outside of my house. Reliable every time. Highly recommend. read more

David came and gave me an estimate for a stucco repair job the very next day after we called him. While he was at our home, he noticed our old redwood deck was past it useful life. I told him we were getting it removed. David beat the previous bid we had recieved and did our demo job along with our stucco repair the next day. His son and another gentleman arrived with him the next morning and completed all the repairs and demo, and cleaned up 30 years of debris under the deck, and steam cleaned our old patio. I can't recommend them highly enough. Pleasant and professional crew. We will definitely use expert services again. read more

Deciding to go with which painter is a stressful decision and I'm very pleased the estimate & meet up with Ricky helped me choose Valenz Construction. They did a wonderful exterior paint job on my home along with some minor repair work, gave good suggestions with things to consider for the contrasting trim and doors. They arrived on time, cleared the work area daily, told me what to expect each day and finished the overall project on time. They're very good & give attention to small details. read more

After several very productive meetings with Ricky Valenz, a reasonable cost and great reviews, we agreed work to be performed on remodeling my condo. I requested that he send a contract for my review. He sent an invoice. I asked for a contract including such things as warranties and insurance coverages. He sent attachments to his invoice and said that is usually fine with his clients. I then pointed out that the invoice did not adequately list the work to be done. He then stopped responding to my calls or emails. I have since engaged another contractor with the appropriate level of professionalism. I was looking forward to working with Valenz Construction. The courteous thing would have been to at least reply that he was no longer interested in performing the work. read more
