I am writing to highly recommend Stephen Dickinson and the team at Tri-Valley Construction…read more From start to finish, Stephen proved to be an incredibly wonderful and helpful contractor to work with. What sets him apart is his deep expert knowledge; he doesn't just execute a task--he takes the time to explain the 'why' behind his process, ensuring the job is done right the first time. His professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond made a significant difference in our project. If you are looking for a contractor in the Tri-Valley area who is reliable, skilled, and genuinely invested in his clients' satisfaction, look no further than Stephen.

This involved removing sheetrock, cutting pipes, installing new valves, then replacing the sheetrock, applying plaster and texture, and finally painting. This was way above my pay grade, so I reached out to Steve. Within minutes, he got back to me. He asked for photos and provided an estimate with a range, depending on the complexity of what they found. Steve sent his crew over just a few hours later to begin the project. Victor and Edgar arrived, and within minutes, the Sawzall was going to town on our wall. I'll admit, I had my reservations, but it quickly became clear that these guys knew what they were doing. Each phase required a return visit to allow the individual coats of plaster to dry, etc. Our water was only turned off for about an hour or so during the entire project, and the finished product was very good. We're now considering TVC for other projects. I would not hesitate to recommend them!

From the very first conversation, it was clear I was speaking with a true professional. Triangle Construction (Daniel Curtis) was incredibly responsive, transparent, and thorough, all qualities that are surprisingly rare in this industry. He took the time to walk me through the process, answered all my (many!) questions with patience and clarity, and provided insights that made it clear he has deep expertise and a passion for doing things the right way. His professionalism, integrity, and clear communication gave me so much confidence. If you're lucky enough to work with him, you're in excellent hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality work and a contractor who genuinely cares. If my timeline had been more flexible, I would have hired him in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

I hired them more than three years ago and I paid for the full scope of work they recommended. My bedroom and closet have continued to leak every time it rains. I have given GMBC numerous attempts to fix the leak over the past 3 years, but the leaking persists.

A Nightmare Experience with GMBC: Poor Craftsmanship and Unreliable Service…read more Hiring GMBC for our renovation project was a terrible decision. The experience was a complete nightmare, with their shoddy craftsmanship and unreliable service leaving me deeply dissatisfied. We worked with Moshe and had numerous conversations about the quality of work but he did not care. The project initially estimated to take three months, dragged on for over a year. Here are the major issues I encountered: 1. Poor Quality Craftsmanship: The work done by GMBC was riddled with errors and executed in a sloppy manner. The foreman was rarely present, and when he was, he consistently overpromised and underdelivered. Their lack of skill and attention to detail was evident in poor flooring install, uneven paint jobs, and a complete disregard for precision. A few examples of their subpar workmanship, but by no means comprehensive: -A small deck featuring cracked spindles/railing. The wood was so discolored that we paid them more just to try to cover it up, with the end result looking even worse. -We paid them thousands to level our floor and install flooring, but the end result was warped and bouncy. After we pointed it out, they suggested drilling holes all over our new floors and trying to glue everything down. -A sliding shower door installation that was unlevel and featured a half inch gap all the way around. It was so bad that we couldn't even shower in the room without the bathroom filling with water. There were several issues such as drill marks and permanent marker drawn all over from where they made errors trying to install the first time. -We paid them to install soundproofing on a shared wall with our neighbor. Moshe himself noticed there was absolutely no change when he came over to check on the things, and could hear our neighbor's music as if it was in the same room. There was no suggestion on how to resolve or make the situation right on their end. We ended up paying thousands with absolutely no result. 2. Unreliable and Unprofessional Crew: The crew assigned to my project displayed consistent lateness and unprofessional behavior. The foreman was rarely around and the crew was often on break, resulting in wasted time. Their lack of professionalism extended to a disregard for my property and basic safety protocols. They installed a stacked washer and dryer without the provided stacking kit and when we were told it was ready for use, the washer ended up walking itself out of the laundry room and into a wall, further damaging the unit as well as the brand new floors we had installed. GMBC's reluctance to take responsibility for their mistakes and their laborers' inability to perform as professionals further added to my frustration. GMBC did eventually reimburse me for the dryer. 3. Missed Deadlines and Extended Delays: Despite GMBC's promises of efficiency, the project suffered from poor planning and an inability to adhere to timelines. The extensions of the project disrupted my daily routine and caused unnecessary delays. Inspections were missed multiple times, leading to wasted time and frustrated inspectors. I brought this up to Moshe and he told me the guy was in his car for one of the inspections and didn't see the inspector ring my doorbell. How is that acceptable? 4. Dishonest Practices: GMBC exhibited a lack of honesty and integrity throughout the project. They lied about placing an order for a specific closet door, stating that the one we had requested was out of stock but when we called the store ourselves, they had 5. GMBC just didn't want to admit that they had made a mistake. We had a similar scenario with the original shower door that they had installed where a subcontractor they sent to replace the original door stated that they had installed it incorrectly. Their poor record-keeping was evident when they failed to provide complete receipts for reimbursements. Additionally, they attempted to charge me for something I had already paid for. 5. Lack of Design Sense: They failed to deliver work of which they could be proud and omitted showcasing it on their website or social media. The solutions provided for an eyesore firewall and poorly done concrete work in the driveway were unsatisfactory. Their lack of effort to find acceptable options and costs left me disappointed and seeking help from other contractors. On top of everything, I was pregnant when the project started and then had a newborn when they were still working at the house. It was an absolute nightmare and so stressful. Moshe's attempts to fix things later were too late, and the inconvenience wasn't worth it. Eli got involved towards the end and seemed reasonable when it came to deducting items on the poor work that was done. My husband ended up fixing a number of things after they completed the job. Overall, my experience with GMBC was a disaster. Their lack of professionalism and poor workmanship make them a company to avoid.

Y Group is local to us, and while their quote wasn't the cheapest, it was very reasonable for the scope of the work. Overall, the project went really smoothly. Of course, with a full house remodel, there were some hurdles along the way, but what really stood out was how the crew and the foreman handled them, they always found a solution. The crew is incredibly fast, efficient, and honestly, just really trustworthy. Whenever a mistake or an unexpected issue popped up, they were completely transparent about it, walked us through the options, and asked how we wanted to proceed. They are incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful. I'd definitely recommend them to friends and family.

My bathroom was very outdated and probably hadn't been updated since the house was constructed in 1960. I met with more than five contractors and from the start, Yovel proved he had experience, a point of view on what would work for us, and an easy going manner. LB's quote was fair and they were upfront about potential change orders or other costs that might come up (not surprising for such an outdated bathroom!). Throughout the project, Yovel kept me updated on progress and sought my opinion when different options were available on how to proceed. In one instance, he came up with a great way to cut the tile so I could avoid paying for a whole extra box. The updates were particularly important for me because I didn't stay at the house during this renovation, because this was my only bathroom. I gave me the peace of mind that everything was under control when I couldn't personally be there to oversee things or give input. The bathroom turned out AMAZING and it's easily my favorite room in the house now. I would happily work with them again on my next home renovation.

Thank you to Kirk and his expert team of artisans. They have completed the first part of my…read morewindows project for my residential home. As all professional and licensed contractors, it was very simple to do business with Golden State Stucco. Kirk conducted a free estimate walk through of the project and provided a fast around time with the proposal. The price was very competitive and met my budget. Once I approved it, they immediately set a date and they showed up on time and began work right away. This project took two weeks to complete. On the first day: - They torn down my horrid wood panels from the 1970's and clean up any old / loose debris. Completed visual inspection for any terminate or major dry rot. - Laid out the Jumbo Tex weather-resistive barrier and wire mesh netting. - Applied the scratch coat and add on metal window barriers to secure the existing windows. For the next week and a half: Allowed the scratch coat to cure; keeping it damp by periodically misting with water from my garden hose. As with all scratch coats, slow, damp curing provides the greatest strength. Allow the coat to dry slowly. That's the secret! On the final day: - Applied the new stucco and matched my existing texture. I was very pleased that they were able to match it. At first, I was worried... but Kirk took care of me. - Cleaned up all their mess and made sure my front yard landscaping wasn't damaged. I've worked with some poor contractors that didn't care about their work surroundings. In this case, I was very impressed with their attention to detail. Today, I am proud to have them as one of many Elite contractors for all my future home projects in the field of stucco and exterior work - Earning five stars for this accomplishment. Special Thank to Cynthia - friendly and fast service: invoicing online and sending photo attachments of the project.

I got another back up quote as well. I went with Golden State in the end, it was a little higher but some things you just don't go cheap on and this was a huge investment for me at least so I wanted the best of the best. Kirt (owner) was top notch from start to finish and even went out of his way in the to do extra touches to make the house even better, in addition to a TOP NOTCH stucco job. I love it! Kirt and I put our heads together early in the game and came up with a custom color that is so pleasing to the eye. Because of his expertise and keen eye for the details he made trim suggestions that while of course adding to the contract, only enhanced the overall look, and it just gave the house that extra "wow" factor. And me being a single woman, naïve to the process, would have never known to add "trim" and he helped with that process as well, noting what trim would look best. I'm just thrilled with my home and very happy with the entire staff at Golden State. They did a great job and I would recommend them to anyone looking to refresh an old look like I did. I went from wood siding to a wrap around with stucco, so very happy that I did. GREAT JOB GOLDEN STATE!!
