Alexander Zaytsev is a thief!!!!! He stole $7000 from me…read more He took $ for materials, promissed work to be done in a month or 2, then disappeared for a year=no work done. When I finally got hold of him, he admitted that he spent my $ 1000 for materials, and next day told me he will not return it. I hired him before. He did a good job, showed me his good side (a mask, beneath which is a very, very, very bad person who bites the hand that feeds him). Then, after he developed my trust, he asked for $6000 for 1 year to pay off high interest credit card debt. I gave it to him but a year later when I asked for $ back he started giving me excuses, made me wait till he sells his car, then, asked for 2-3 more month, then 2-3 more. I still thought he could be trusted and treated him as a friend. I gave him construction work to work for this $ and I gave him $1000 more for materials. He promised work to be done in a month or 2. But, 1 year later - no work, no $ and he did not answer the phone and did not return phone calls for over 6 months. I finally reached him through contacting his wife, asked her to help me get hold of him and explained situation to her. Alexander then called me, told me, that he wanted to return but will not return me my $ because I am contacting his wife, I am a threat to his family. He said: "I'm not going to return anything to you out of principle!." This is his formula/his way to justify his low/thief/ratlike behavior. I want to warn all good people not to fall into his trap like I did. Summary: He did work for me cheap 1 st. 2 nd I gave him more work but it was very expensive but good. After he developed my trust he stole my $ by using deceit and manipulation and showed his real -antisocial personality disorder face. Not only did he steal $7000, He also refused to return keys from my 2 houses and garage remote control (I gave him keys a year ago when I gave him jobs and $1000 for materials).

We hired Ricky and the team at Valenz Construction in early 2023 to do a huge renovation on our…read morehouse. It involved gutting out and starting over for the entire house, as well as reconstructing one end of it from the foundation up. It was complicated by the fact that we continued to live and work from the home throughout. We can honestly say that Ricky and the team from Valenz were a genuine pleasure to work with. Their care and willingness to work with us--and around us!--at every step of the project was nothing short of remarkable. We also always felt that Ricky was treating us fairly, honestly, and profoundly honorably throughout the entire project. The careful work, flexibility, and never-ending good cheer from everyone was simply remarkable and touched us deeply. We think of it every day as we enjoy the wonderful house Ricky and everyone at Valenz Construction created for us.

Friends, we just wrapped up a 6 month project with AAA. The pictures are what really does this…read morework justice, but I can say that AAA far exceeded expectations. We did a kitchen/living room remodel which included removing two walls and adding a 16' new sliding door and a new deck. Toward the end of the project we expanded scope to include a new roof and new siding and exterior painting. They seamlessly provided this extra work. We lived in the house during the construction and worked from home while the crew transformed our home. Andrey got us going and Art and Alex were our main contacts during the project. I enjoyed working with Alex. He has the best "no problem" approach and when we hit a design issue with our deck, he had a great idea of how to rework the stairs and we went with that approach. They also recommended a great architect, window company and other items. Every inspection passed. They responded quickly to my concerns. I will definitely have them come back and do our bathrooms. Thanks Andrey, Art and Alex for making my dream remodel come true!

Robert and his team are kind, communicative, creative but grounded, accountable and just an overall delight to work with.

We searched for a contractor to do a complete remodel of our Victorian flat with all of the…read moreassociated complications. The bid we received from Bay Remodels was not the least expensive, but based on our interview and subsequent follow up conversations I felt confident that we would be able to communicate with Arsen in a straightforward way and was impressed that during that process, he returned calls and showed up when he said he would. Fortunately, it was that way through the whole project. It was a difficult project with many unforeseen structural issues. Arsen and his project manager, Emilio, were responsive to every question and I always got immediate call backs or texts. Arsen has an obvious passion for craftsmanship and design and takes a real interest in assuring that the outcome is aesthetically and structurally sound. He went above and beyond to make sure things looked right even if they weren't specified on the plan. We have contractors in our immediate family that we would naturally rely on if they were in Northern California, but at the end of the project we felt like Arsen and Emilio looked after us like family. Our house is beautiful and we are thankful that we went with our gut feeling.

Ben and his team were fantastic to work with on a full bathroom remodel plus some other odds and…read moreends around the house - re-framing a door, painting over wallpaper in the kitchen, some light electrical work, etc. Ben took his time talking through options for the remodel (fixtures, tile options, etc.) beforehand, detailing a few different scenarios for us to wrap our heads around the pricing and scopes of work. During our initial walk through, Ben emphasized the fact that he pays all of his employees fair wages. We probably could have found someone to to the job for cheaper, but this was a major selling point for us. Knowing up front that the people working in our home every day were happy (enough) to be there and taking pride in their work helped seal the deal. Salvador was our foreman, and he was on site almost every day that work was happening. He was very responsive any time we texted with questions, and was always willing to talk things through when decisions had to be made. We were new to working with a contractor, and there were bumps in the road and some curveballs throughout the process, but we were able to figure them out as we went. My husband and I worked from home almost every day during construction, and the whole crew could not have been more pleasant to be around. They were incredibly respectful to us and our neighbors the entire time. We'd never done a remodel like this before, and it was such a good experience that Kimmich Construction would be our first call if we had anything similar in the future.

I can't say enough about how important it is to find a solid reliable contractor if you are doing any big project on your house.

I found Ben on HOUZZ and his reviews are all top notch because he provides the level of expertise that you are looking for and worth the time and money - you won't regret.

I have seen other remodels and additions, and I have to say, I have not seen finer work. When we tell people who see our house for the first time that they are looking at an addition they are shocked - the materials are consistent with the rest of the house that was built in 1912.
