After finding a major leak from an exterior wall, we invited half a dozen contractors to come out…read moreand estimate a fix. Clearly it was going to be a very large - and, of course, completely unexpected - project. We felt a ton of pressure to find the right balance of cheap, fast, and - most importantly, this being a major structural wall of our home - good. Given how critical and involved the job was, we needed to have confidence every step of the way. From the get-go, Marlon provided that. From the initial estimate, it was clear that J O Builder doesn't cut corners and wants to do the job right. Where some of the other contractors proposed patchwork solutions that would likely have resulted in having the same problem again in five or ten years. Ignacio from J O estimated a more comprehensive job that would avoid that. J O isn't just interested in securing a job but rather taking care of your home as well as if it were their own. Marlon, Ozny, Daniel, and the rest of the team were always incredibly responsive and understood our concerns immediately. They were able to talk us through any concerns we had throughout the job and proactively gave us a heads up on what was coming next so we were never surprised by anything. When the job was finished, our wall was in better shape than ever, with better insulation and a clean facade inside and out, as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile we know it's built well and will last a long time, and we had confidence at every step of the way. We'll be reaching out to Marlon again for all our future jobs. If you want your job done right, I strongly recommend that you do too.

This is our second time hiring Marlon and his team for work on our home. Earlier this year, we had…read morea drywall issue, and they handled it with precision from start to finish. We met with a few different contractors for quotes, some offered slightly cheaper pricing but after speaking with them, we knew Marlon and his team were the right choice. When you're having a project done in your home, trust is everything, and we trust them 100%. Even during heavy rain, they were able to keep working by setting up a tarp tent over the work area, which kept things clean and minimized disruption to our neighbors. This time, we had our whole house painted, our entrance door replaced, and our porch tiled. Once again, they delivered excellent results. Our new entrance door looks beautiful, and the paint job is phenomenal. I feel like we have a brand-new home. We will definitely hire them again for future renovations, no doubt! They are fast, meticulous, and truly trustworthy.

Alex and his crew have painted both interior and exterior at our house over the past few years…read more Each time they are thorough, careful, and respectful. They just finished the exterior of our house, which required them to go through the house to reach the back. Each day they tidied up the first floor areas and picked up their drop cloths so we could access the living areas on that floor without going through a work zone. I was really impressed with the amount of preparation they did on the house before they even started painting, and feel the house is well protected now in addition to the aesthetics of a crisp paint job. I would definitely work with Alex and his team again in the future and recommend them for any painting job!

Alex and his team is amazing. We got his name along with a few others from Bob Buckner "Dr Color"…read morethat helped pick our colors for our house repainting job. Alex's quote wasn't the highest or lowest of those that I received. It was very fair. He also spent the most amount of time checking over our house and walking me through how he would have his team prep the house for the best results. Once they started working they were extremely through. I think all in all they were working on our house for 6 weeks? There were about 4-5 coats of paint on the whole house. It's very thick and I expect this paint job to last much longer than the prior one. We also had a lot of repairs that were discovered that needed to be done once the scaffold went up. The prior owners had deferred a lot of maintenance as well as left over 30 years of cords on exterior which Alex's team cleaned up. Alex was extremely kind to help find tradesman to come help fix things for us. We paid extra for that but the prices were all very fair. I would definitely recommend anyone that needs their house repainted to call Alex. His team lead Gaby is also equally great to work with.

This project was truly a complete makeover of the space. New tub, toilet, sink/ vanity, shower, fixtures, and wall/ floor refinishing. It couldn't have turned out better thanks to Bruce Construction. They were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. Always on time and kept to the proposed schedule. I would absolutely use them again. They've inspired me to redesign my kitchen!

Nathan is a life-saver. He saved me from the pain and anguish of getting a contractor to call me…read moreback, give me a bid, and do the work I needed done in my new apartment. He's done a lot of work already, most notably installed a granite countertop. He chose the stone (I trusted him to choose this on his own, I never even saw a sample) and brought in two additional men to put it in. It is perfect, and their attention to detail is stunning. They left without a trace, and can't wait to have them back to work on other projects. I will be recommending him to all of my friends and people in my building AFTER we're done with the rest of the project.

Nathan and his crew are fantastic! I reached out to him because we wanted to add a deck to our…read morebackyard. Nathan responded immediately to my inquiry and came over within 48 hours to assess our space. He asked all the right questions to fully understand our vision and thoroughly explained the options we had given our budget. It was a very collaborative and productive discussion that made me feel very comfortable and confident that he was the right person for the job. So we hired him! The experience only got better from there. We had a narrow week to work with since rain was in the forecast before and after. His crew showed up right on time every day and worked very hard until day's end. They were very professional, courteous and just all around great guys. Our yard isn't easily accessible without coming through the house, but they took such exceptional care that you couldn't tell. Nathan made it a point to touch base frequently and consistently throughout the project just to make sure that they were meeting expectations every step of the way. This really made me feel involved and informed. I have such respect for the all the hard work and attention to detail that Nathan and his team did. The finished product came out 10 times better than what we imagined! We have been outside enjoying our deck, retaining wall, and new fence every day since. It's a great space that feels like an extension of our home and no doubt it has added a ton of value!

I'm planning on using him again to do some remodeling and upgrades.

Beginning with the bidding process, Chris showed up on time, submitted a thorough proposal when he said he would, and was very professional. Yes, there were hiccups and surprises along the way.

I highly recommend considering CGC for your remodel.

I am a residential building designer who strives to build strong connections with my clients up…read morefront so that I can experience the project through their eyes and collaboratively realize the design based on their needs and wishes. We also sometimes realizes permit drawings for other designers who would rather not go through the challenges of assemble drawings and legal documents required by cities to acquire building permits. Such was the case was the when I received a phone call. "I'm Christopher Gates and I'm working on the O. project in San Francisco and I think we're missing a real opportunity." Chris went on to explain that the upper and lower levels of the project were connected by a set of non conforming stairs, which were grandfathered in by not touching them, but were't the most enjoyable to navigate. The previous designer had elected not to touch those stairs. But Chris suggested something extraordinary: "Perhaps we can carve out some space from the adjacent closet, a bathroom, and a light well, and make a set of beautiful stairs with a skylight above that unifies the home right when you walk through the front door. Are you interested in checking it out?" As one who wants my clients to really love their new home, I was a little embarrassed that I'd miss the opportunity myself. But even more, I was super grateful for Chris's suggestion as well as his palpable enthusiasm, especially when so many architects and builders are willing just to gloss over it just to get it done quickly. "Hell yes!" I said. We scheduled a time to meet, trouble shot the challenges, and over the next 10 days, co-created an amazing solution together. Yesterday, nearly nine months since that first meeting, I had the chance to check it out the (nearly) finished project. Chris and his fantastic team had totally transformed the place, from a chopped up, piecemeal layout to a spacious, light-filled home with all the essential amenities a family needs. Thank you, Chris, for making me a better designer through your curiosity, fantastic work, and service to your clients!

My friends who visit are completely wowed by this place. I am too, and can't thank him enough. For example, the former owner asked him to install bathroom tiles that "look like a waterfall." He executed that request beautifully. He was also very helpful the two times I called with questions about the windows, and he even came over one day to inspect a window leak that was not his fault. He called the glass company and helped me get the window replaced free of charge, even though he stood to make nothing on the project. Professionals like this are impossible to find these days. Check him out!
