They stained the wood shingles and painted the trim. The house looks amazing. The crew showed up on time and worked so hard to clean each and every shingle before staining. They just finished prepping and painting the house we live in yesterday. They prepped and painted a stucco house where it's been about 20 years since the last painting. Phill's son Phillip worked with me to match colors and textures all along demonstrating his experience. The house looks amazing and I'm super picky. The price was good for both projects and I received multiple bids on both. I highly recommend them based on their exceptional work with us on our two homes.

I'd like to share my great experience using Den Defenders, as I recently had a security door…read moreinstalled by them in November of 2024. When I began my search for a security door install company, it was quite difficult, because I live in Vallejo, and I didn't see many reputable options. I eventually stumbled upon Den Defenders during my search, and after doing some research on them, and seeing lots of positive reviews, I decided to call, and schedule an appointment with them. For my initial consultation appointment, I was set up with their awesome employee Mike Carson. Mike was the best to work with, as he was a very professional individual, who seemed quite knowledgeable about the products, and services that Den Defenders offered. Mike helped me find the perfect solution for my home, and family's needs, as we needed a door that would allow more airflow into Our home for the hot summers, while keeping out insects, and also being very secure, so that we can sleep without worry of any intruders entering our home. Mike recommended the Viewguard security door, as it appeared to meet all of my family's needs. After Mike educated us on the door, its quality, and its features, We were sold, so we ordered one, and set up an appointment for the install date. When it was install day, My family was very excited, because when we first seen the door, it looked like a very high-quality, and sturdy unit. The install took about a few hours, as my home needed some stucco modification for the door to fit, but the Den Defenders crew had all of the tools/ equipment to get the job done, and they even kept the area clean as they worked, which was a huge relief, and very professional on their part. I'd like to point out that I couldn't be more happier, and satisfied with my purchase, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the market for a high-quality security door installation. Before ending my review, I'd like to personally say a big thank you to Mike Carson for setting everything up, and ensuring a very satisfactory experience for me, and my family. I'd also like to thank the rest of the Den Defenders team for doing an exceptional job (I've included a picture in my review of the two crew members who did my install, and they were awesome, and very professional as well!). If I had to sum up my experience in a single phrase to promote the use of this company, I'd say that "The Den Defenders team delivers a quality product, and top-notch customer service." Thank you Den Defenders, on a job well done!

I heartily recommend E Rodas Construction…read more I hired Emar to do a major renovation of my home (new kitchen, bathrooms, fireplace, deck, windows, doors, HVAC and more) and outside (new fencing, stairs, concrete pathways, retainer walls, and more). It was all completed to a high standard. I have a demanding work life and a priority for me was I did not want to be sidetracked and/or stressed out over this multi-year project; I got my wish. I actually lived onsite (downstairs) during the upstairs renovation. I was strongly encouraged to move out but I've lived in hotels on the road for many years and I know how old that gets soon. Emar and his crew were so pleasant to be around that they made it easy to get my wish and stay in my home. There are so many reasons to recommend Emar but one of my favorites is my designer and I would regularly come up with new ideas, sometimes unusual ones, and Emar never said no to making them a reality. Early on there was a big one, very high on my wish list, that a prior contractor had said no to - unless I was willing to spend an enormous amount of money - but Emar made it work beautifully at a very reasonable price. Even if a solution to implementing our ideas wasn't obvious instantly, he quicky figured out a way to make it happen and seemed to thrive on these challenges. Emar has superior social and management skills, gets along with everyone, and has the respect of his team and his subcontractors, all who are responsive and don't let him down. Other reasons for recommending Emar are: (1) Everyone on his team was highly skilled and the quality of their work was excellent. (2) He paid attention to the little details as well as the big ones. (3) He and his team were honest. (4) They were respectful of my house & furnishings, covering up floors, removing and/or covering up furniture and bubble wrapping my paintings before storing them. Their end-of-day clean-up was professional and thorough. In short, Emar is a find. My designer recommended/insisted I hire him. I am so glad I did. You'd be very fortunate to have him.

He kept everything on schedule and on budget, which gave us total peace of mind throughout the process. His crew is just as impressive--they show up on time, work hard, pay attention to every detail, and leave the job site spotless at the end of each day. Everyone was professional, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. We couldn't be happier with the results and would absolutely recommend E Rodas Construction to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled contractor.

My neighbor personally recommended me Farallon Company.  Upon thorough research, I discovered that their satisfaction rate was way above their peers. I decided to contact the company. Fernando and Jonathan Oliveira were very professional from the beginning to the end of the project. Their crew worked tirelessly to complete the job, putting in long hours and even working on Saturdays. Whether or not Fernando or his son, Jonathan, was present to oversee their work, the crew remained focused, efficient, and methodical, handling the challenging job with ease despite its difficult conditions. Fernando's expertise, coupled with Jonathan's flexibility, enabled them to navigate any obstacles that arose during the project. I really enjoyed that it is a family-owned business and that Fernando came from Portugal over 40 years ago, bringing with him his knowledge about construction from the old continent to the Bay Area. You can tell he knows what he is talking about when he goes over details with you. I am glad to see his son taking over the business and learning from his dad. I might need excavation work in 2024 on a different property and will definitely use their services again! Thank you!

The wall involved piers going into bedrock 15-20 feet below the soil surface, then a 10 foot retaining wall on top. Along the way, Fernando and John gave me great feedback and worked with my architect, structural engineer, and soil engineers to keep costs down as much as possible. They also gave me some complimentary guidance on my future plans with my backyard. During project, their crew were there often onsite for 10+ hour days, sometimes 6 days a week. They even worked through some 100+ degree days. I was always happy to see the consistent progress on the project over the 3 months it took. I would highly recommend Farallon for their attention to detail, execution, and quality.
