    They redid my drainage. They were great; on time, polite, thoughtful, efficient - I wouldn't hesitate to retain them again.

    If they offer to give you a home survey for a fee you should decline. You can get them for free from other contractors.

    We used East bay retrofit construction for re-framing my house structure in Montclair, Oakland,…read morebecause the house got unfortunate building structural damages by termite and Dry rot. The Construction work includes replacing wood beams & joists, concrete work with new French drain, stucco, exterior painting, and many others. Martin and his team did outstanding professional work with honest fair price. Their fee was best among 5 other contractors. Multiple professional staffs had worked over 3 weeks on a great amount of work. I surprised they work extremely efficient and beautifully. Even they were willing to take care of fixing unforeseen undesired condition. Their hard work and knowledge of what they are doing is outstanding. Martin is a great communicator and extremely reliable. I can not be happier the result what Martin and his team brought to us. I've recommended the Martin and his team to all my friends. You will be pleased if you get to work with them. Wishing all the best to Martin and his team. Sincerely, Yuji N

Not only do they do absolutely fantastic work - fast but never rushed, thorough but never onerous - but they also excel at communication. Martin responded clearly and quickly throughout the project. We could not be happier with their work. The team was also cheerful - a surefire sign of a healthy work environment. The price was very competitive, and we are extremely satisfied. Our project included raising an entire section of our house, and installing a new foundation below it, with a retaining wall and piers. They also did a full retrofit on the new foundation. I wish we could hire Martin and his team for every project!

    I can't say enough good things about the work that was done and the great people who did the work…read moreon leveling my home. Levi Sanchez made the process seamless in its execution and follow through. Francisco paid close attention to every detail along the way. The whole process was fascinating. Never have I have any work done on my house where the workers left the place cleaner and more picked up than it was when they arrived. And things looked pretty darn good when they got here. I told them they made the neatest mess. Even the stones along where they dug down for the project were replaced better than I had arranged them. I could go on and on ... Considering how everything went so smoothly before during and after the construction, I don't think I could beat the service and value that I received. I passed Perma Level's info on yesterday to my handyman who sent it to a client of his who may give you all a call. Thank you for a great experience overall.

I had no doubt that our home was in competent hands. The workers worked very hard for about 18 days. We had 33 push piers in total. Francisco took the time to show me how the push piers worked and shared with us all the steps. Both Levi and Francisco were patient in answering all of our questions. The team was thoughtful and showed up on time every day. They secured our home when they left for the day. Our home is noticeably level now. To add, they were priced fair. The icing on the cake is when they mailed me the certification that the construction done meets all the structural requirements for structural pier placements and copies of all the pier logs and their measurements all nicely put in a folder for our records. We are all set for the roof top deck now! Thank you Levi Sanchez and Francisco for a job well done.

    It's been a few weeks since our project with Golden Gate was finished and wanted to make sure we…read moretake the time to make a post somewhere. We knew we had foundation problems for years our floors were slanted and wall cracks around three windows over the downhill side but isses have worsened over the years. We painted over some cracks but knew it was time to address the underline issue before starting a relatively large remodel. Our neighbor had golden gate foundation repair fix their crawlspace last year and they recommended them so we had them come out. We had two companies inspect the foundation so we could compare some estimates. Jonathan came over on a Saturday which was helpful and did the inspection and went over the issues with us. What he recommended made the most sense to us. The other contractor was nice but was another salesperson and we had just spent months dealing with salespeople while planning the remodel. Golden gate gave us more confidence their bid was more involved and the price was fair. And they're a local small business, which we appreciate. We did our diligence and are very pleased with our decision. We would like to thank Ashley for helping with our scheduling conflicts. Thank you to their engineer Clifford for allowing me to pick his brain a little, and for all his work with the city. Our permit went faster than we expected and I suspect Clifford played a part in that. Equally important we want to thank Kevin, Farren, and everyone who worked on the concrete part. We installed steel pier underpinnings around the downhill side of our foundation and they leveled the house over 3inches at the worst section. Those guys worked hard and didn't leave their trash around the yard. In my experience some contractors don't keep us in the loop as much as much as they should so I appreciate the updates we received throughout. I hope we'll never need foundation help again but if we do, we'll be using golden gate. We recommend. Thank you to the GGFR team -A & D

    I've had Damon & his crew (Carlos, Carlitos, Marcos, Samuel) do a couple jobs for me now (these…read morethings tend to snowball, ugh, lol) & they've always done top-notch work. I had a fan in my master bathroom crap out on me, which was weird, since I only bought my place 4 years ago, it was newly remodeled, & I even remodeled some more on top of that. My wife pointed out it wasn't working, but it looked new to me, so I popped the cover to find out...not new at all. New COVER over a fan that was a year younger than the missus. Uh oh. The old "lipstick on a pig" boogie from the prior owners/ seller. Damn. Hate getting hoodwinked. So, I think "well, better check the 'new' fan in the guest bath too." Pop THAT shiny, nice cover & ...same drill but even OLDER. Some mid-80's (I think) giant 13" circular fan they don't even make anymore. Double ugh. Last stop: laundry room. Final fan, pop the cover...whew, it's actually a new-ish fan. 1 outta 3 ain't bad, right? /sigh So I put out the feelers for an electrician (I had 2 dead outlets, 1 indoor, 1 outdoor as well) & after doing the "online quote" thing w/ Yelp, I got in touch w/ Damon @ Berkeley Home Repair. Funny dude, super helpful, quick & responsive. He schedules his electrician, Carlitos, to come out ASAP, for what I think is gonna just be a basic fan install & outlet fix job. Nope. Carlitos goes into the attic & discovers the ducts are all wrong. 3 fans running thru 2 ducts, both bathrooms on the same 4" line, & laundry room on some weird 3" duct. Now, you can get away with 4", but 6" is code & preferred, & every fan has to be on its own dedicated/ independent duct, or you're just blowing moisture from room to room & into the attic. Not good. We crawl the attic together & confirm I need a 3rd roof penetration & new ducts. So much for cheap & easy. Damn. Damon adjusts the bid (as gently as possible, considering my costs just went up almost 10x) & I wind up with 2 brand new Panasonic Whisper Quiet fans (amazing. Almost TOO quiet), a new roof penetration & cap, new independent 6" ducts for each fan, an excellent sheetrock patch & paintjob on my guest bath ceiling (prior, old-timey fan was just way too huge compared to current models) AND Carlitos fixed both dead power outlets (one of which turned out to be an arcing short/ broken wire inside the wall, which we were lucky to catch before a fire). All the workers were amazing to work with & did great on their specific parts of the now much larger order. Everyone worked quickly &, despite the gig snowballing far beyond the expected, Damon priced fairly & had the work done as fast as possible with minimal intrusion & inconvenience (crucial during these pandemic "work from home" times) Tho it was obviously a bummer to have a small job turn into a much bigger & more expensive one, I always felt like I was in good hands with Damon, his communication was clear, direct, quick & honest, & the outcome was excellent. I'll definitely be using Berkeley Home Repair for future work, since homeownership often means nasty surprises like the one I got ain't all that rare, unfortunately. Heh. At least now I know who to call to get sorted fairly & quickly. Thanks fellas! Will try to post pics when I get a chance...but most of this was "behind the scenes" work, or what my buddy likes to call "invisible money", heh.

    I called this company and spoke to a guy named Damon who asked me to text him photos of the project…read moreI had in mind as well as a diagram with measurements. I did that. In fact, on the call he said I could text or email him and I asked specifically which mode he preferred - he said that text would get the fastest response. So I texted. No response. Called a couple times. No reply. This place has either closed or has awful customer service and communication. I'm grateful that I didn't spend long on this company but I still wish I could get my time and energy back spent schmoozing this guy who would end up ghosting me Edit: I got a notification 35 minutes after posting this review that he commented and I couldn't be happier that I left one star.
