Joe and his team at JR's just completed a full tear-out and remodel of our kitchen, and the results…read morespeak for themselves. The scope of the project was extensive: all new semi custom cabinets, a new island, and new perimeter countertops, along with a complete replacement of our appliances some of which we wanted flush mounted (easier said than done). One of the trickier pieces was retrofitting a range hood, which added a fair amount of complexity to the install, but the team handled it without missing a beat. What really set this project apart was the level of coordination among everyone involved. Every craftsman on the job communicated clearly with one another, and just as importantly, Joe stayed in steady contact with my wife and me throughout the process. That kind of teamwork kept the project moving efficiently from start to finish, with minimal delays and no surprises. Even when we were out of town for part of the renovation, we never felt out of the loop as Joe sent regular updates with photos and progress notes, so we always knew exactly where things stood. The end result is a kitchen that's both beautifully finished and highly functional, and the process to get there was refreshingly smooth. If you're considering a kitchen remodel, don't hesitate to reach out to JR's, you'll be in good hands from demo day to final walkthrough.

I can't share enough positive things about Steve and the crew at Avon…read more Our home is relatively old for the area and has a specific look and feel. After seeing some stone work at a friends in Lamorinda we were referred to Steve and Avon and the work didn't disappoint. They were 100% on target with the style, their bid (when was the last time you didn't have to do a change order?!) and their layout and leveling recommendations. Also, and very importantly, the crew was always on time, patient with parking challenges, gracious and open to engage. The lead onsite took detailed notes, and the team was methodical and diligent. We have them coming back for two more projects and would refer them first for stone and masonry work. Project: front retaining wall customer cut around coast live oak roots. Back path with steps and landing in pavers, pergola patio leveled and filled with cross hatch brick, back patio in pavers with customer cut edging for grass, brick retaining wall and leveling for new sod, hothbub pad and walls customer cut to fit tub, planter box in pavers. They nailed the whole thing. So good.

We chose Avon Construction to replace our failing retaining walls. Steve came out to the house and…read morethoroughly explained how his crew would securely replace the walls. Throughout the job, Steve and his crew were friendly, very knowledgeable, hard-working, efficient. They kept us informed of each step and what to expect. They were very dependable: consistently on time, there when they said they would be there and completed the work in the time frame they estimated with excellent results. The walls looked great and there were no unexpected delays and they kept it all within budget. We highly recommend Avon Construction. Working with the entire company was a joy. From the office staff to the owner Steve to Oso and the other workers, they clearly know what they are doing and have a desire to do it right. Fantastic experience!

Brian, Holly, and Gerardo are the best…read more When I contacted them initially two years ago, within the first 10 minutes of talking they'd recognized that our house was not a simple brace & bolt project given its soft story and referred me to a structural engineer (who himself was excellent) for review/evaluation. I begin with this because that structural engineer mentioned he'd had Brian do his own retrofitting and highly recommended him, which was the only endorsement I needed. The scope of the work was soft story retrofit (incl. excavation at the front of the garage to install a Hardy frame, adding in shear walls with bolts, shear wall with URFP ties all along the house's perimeter) as well as adding in anchors (e.g., hand dug piers, rebar, concrete) in the front and back of the house to prevent the house from further sinking. We initially applied for and got into the ESS program, which Brian/Holly guided us through (pulling permits, getting photos, contacting our engineer for letters/responses on ESS program follow-ups). As in the first time and every subsequent time, they were swift and helpful in responding. ESS, if you don't know (like I didn't), goes through FEMA and requires FEMA review and approval of your plans at each step of the way, but the whole program came to a standstill in 2025-26. We had no updates despite us and Brian/Holly repeatedly following up. We gave up on ESS in April and decided to move ahead with the retrofit. Brian was able to work us into his schedule and work began early May and work was completed in just a little over two weeks, a full week faster than I expected. The whole time Brian/Holly kept us apprised of the status, schedule, and inspections; and forwarded us all documentation and pictures as they came up. The crew was efficient and detailed and did thorough clean ups of the worksite after each day. We felt in control and informed the whole time and are confident in the result; I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

We would strongly recommend working with Golden State Seismic. They are consummate professionals…read morewho treated us fairly and left us with great peace of mind regarding the safety of our home. Brian and Holly's help started way before the project began. Originally planning to do a basic brace and bolt retrofit, Brian was the first contractor we reached out to who identified that there may be a need for more extensive retrofitting as a result of our soft-story living space. He gave us the name of a reputable structural engineer, Dan Szumski, who came to inspect our house and concurred that we would need a soft-story retrofit. Holly proactively communicated about retrofit rebates available through our city, along with recommended messaging we could use when speaking to the city about an extension to the rebate deadline. Her efforts will ultimately save us thousands of dollars. Communication has been superb. Throughout the project, Brian would visit the site every day to ensure the work was being executed according to the engineering plans. Where practical considerations forced even minute deviations to the engineering plans, he would reach out directly to the engineer to verify the changes were satisfactory. He ensured multiple inspections were done in lockstep with the work so that we knew things were on track every step of the way.

I highly recommend KCK Construction & Remodeling!…read more They repaired my pocket door quickly and professionally. What really impressed me was their honesty--they actually reduced the final bill below their original estimate after completing the work. About a month later, the door jammed again. KCK immediately honored their three-month warranty, opened the wall, installed a completely new sliding door frame, and didn't charge me a penny. It's rare to find a contractor who is this honest, dependable, and committed to standing behind their work. Professional, courteous, and trustworthy from start to finish. Five stars!

Highlights are - Communication and Timeline: They were extremely responsive and kept us informed every step of the way. What impressed me most was their ability to stick to the agreed-upon timeline. They completed the entire project in exactly 3 weeks as promised, with no delays or surprises. - Attention to Detail: The quality of their work is exceptional. Every aspect of the renovation shows meticulous attention to detail, from the precision of the installations to the finishing touches. It's clear they take pride in their craftsmanship. - Cleanliness: Despite the nature of renovation work, they kept our space remarkably clean throughout the project. They cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day, which made living through the renovation much more manageable than we anticipated. - Flexibility: One of the things I appreciated most was their flexibility when we decided half way through to remove a cabinet that wasn't originally in the plan. They adapted quickly to the change without any hassle and incorporated it seamlessly into the project timeline (of course there were some change fees $$) I would absolutely hire them again for future projects and recommend them without reservation to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor.
