We had Cardona construction come out to check out some work we needed done on the foundation of our home. Was really happy we had someone out from Cardona Construction first. The person they sent out (Mauricio) explained everything clearly, gave us a lot of information about what to consider before making big changes etc. Ultimately, we decided to get more information from a structural engineer before making any changes, but once we figure out precisely what needs to be done, we'll reach out to Cardona for the quote! read more

I highly recommend these folks. Their pricing is reasonable, their work was excellent and they are nice people!

Great company. Highly recommend them for any concrete needs. Will definitely use them again for other projects. Extremely professional, honest, on time, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Overall experience was great. They are definitely experts at what they do and provide much valuable recommendations to make any job easier. They kept communication with us through out the project from start to finish to ensure a smooth and on time completion. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

This is long overdue but oh wow Cardona Construction did such a wonderful job with our French drain project. Rene provided clear communication and his crew were amazing too, they were efficient and respectful. Rene is definitely an expert on the drainage systems, he offers great pricing and best customer service too. If you have a drainage project, go with Rene! read more

Highly recommended. I live in Richmond Annex and recently had a French drain installed at my home by Cardona. After speaking with Rene, who came across as honest and sincere, and seeing the company's strong reviews, I felt confident choosing them. The project was led by Fernando, who was extremely professional, and I highly respect his professional ethic. The whole team was excellent to work with. Their quote was slightly lower than others I received, but the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. The results were exceptional. I highly recommend this team. read more

Our home had some drainage/moisture issues so we had a French drain installed by Cardona Construction last week and I highly recommend them. They installed a French drain with a surface drain line on top, connected the downspouts, and installed a channel drain at the bottom of our driveway. They also installed a sump with a battery backup. I took bids on this project in July/Aug and Rene Cardona's bid was both competitive in cost, and included all of the elements we asked for (including a battery backup and city permits), which was not true of the other bids. Rene came out twice to explain their design and how the process would work. Once we accepted the bid, we were on the schedule for late October. In the meantime, Rene got the permit approved from the city. When it was time to start, Fernando (Rene's father) led the team of six to start the work. It took six work days for the team to complete the drain and their electrician set up the outlet for the sump pump and backup pump/battery on the 7th day. Fernando's team was efficient and cleaned up after each day. Once the work was done, Fernando explained how the system worked and how to properly maintain it. The project was efficiently done and between Rene and Fernando all of our questions were answered. Their work passed all city inspections and the inspector told me they did good work. We haven't had any heavy rains yet to test the new drain, but we're confident it will address our drainage issues. Again, we are grateful for the work Cardona Construction on our French drain and highly recommend them. read more

I highly recommend Cardona Construction. Last year they waterproofed and rebuilt my brick, front porch. I had years of bandaid fixes and was so relieved after heavy rains that to further leaking occurred. Rene and his crew were easy to work with and fairly priced. read more

Needed a french drain to help mitigate moisture in our crawl space (we live on a hill). Spoke with four people on how we could best mitigate the problem and Renee at Cardona was clearly the most conservative on their approach and was the best value we got. More than anything we felt like we could trust them. His Dad was the foreman on the crew and they did the project faster than they first estimated. These guys worked hard. Renee came by after and walked us through everything, showing us how to check if it's working when it rains. After the rain this winter so far so good. We'd 100% use Cardona again and will strongly recommend them to friends. read more

I highly recommend Cardona Construction. We hired them to dig a French drain on the uphill side of our house. Rene visited several times and discussed my options in detail. Their bid price was very reasonable. The work proceeded quickly and smoothly, with no issues whatsoever (incredibly rare for a contractor project!) During the work, they were very proactive about asking questions about project details to make sure they were delivering what I wanted. The finished product was gorgeous; they took the time to make the pavers and backfill look nice and pretty. They also cleaned up the site thoroughly before they left. And last but not least, they were just about the friendliest construction team I've ever interacted with! read more

Cardona Construction has been my first choice with my foundation repair needs. Their work is top notch and Rene has been extremely insightful, communicative and transparent. He made me feel very comfortable and confident during the repair process, and treated each project with care. I have recommended him to friends and family as well! read more

I highly recommend Rene Cardona. Our project involved a foundation upgrade. Many contractors ghosted the project because of its complexity. While we didn't get to work with Cardona Construction due to scheduling issues and permitting delays we found Rene to be very respectful and reasonable. He was the first contractor to respond to our inquiry and come on site to take a look at the project. His was very attentive to all our concerns and always open to communicate and very quick to respond which I really appreciated. read more

Under Promise, Over Deliver. I was really impressed with their overall process. Rene came out gave me an estimate in a timely manner, was able to slot us in for 2.5 days, but was able to finish the work in just over a day. They build 30 foot french drain into the street, excavated and built a sump pump. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat, but hoping not to have to! read more

Cardona Construction - No water entering the perimeter of the house! - Foundation Repair Near Me

Cardona Construction helped us resolve a water issue in our lower level that had been plaguing us for the last 3 years. They were on time, provided a reasonable quote, and were very professional. The owner walked me through how to maintain the pumps and told me that we could call them if we ever had an issue. In fact when it was our ADU roof that was causing water issues, Rene and his dad still came by the day I messaged to make sure that the drainage was still functional. They helped me narrow the issue down to the roof in pouring rain to make sure I got the help I needed. I can't stress how helpful they have been during these heavy rains. I have really appreciated their responsiveness post install. Would not even think twice before recommending them. read more

Cardona Construction exceeded my expectations. They installed a French drain in 1.5 days. From when we first met for an estimate to completion, Rene went in with a consultative approach. He gave me options and his professional opinions. He thought outside the box. Finding a local drainage specialist was difficult enough. Especially a trustworthy one. They went above and beyond their scope of work to protect my property. I am so glad I found them. Give them a call!!! read more

Rene solved our drainage problem with a French drain. We are super happy with the outcome which is no water inside our house when it rains. I was skeptical because I didn't really understand how the French drain works but it certainly does work, and I get it now :) The project took them about a week to complete and when they were done you couldn't even tell workers had been on our property. We would highly recommend this company. read more

I noticed some dirt movement around my foundation and was worried it might indicate a larger issue. Rene came out the very next morning to take a look. He grabbed a shovel to see for himself what was happening near the foundation, we looked together at the inside walls. In the end, no issue at all - he thoroughly explained what I was seeing, why it was a non-issue, and what to keep an eye out for in the future - and then he wouldn't accept any payment for his time. I hope I never have to hire foundation contractors -- but if I ever do, Rene gets my future business! read more

Satisfied Customer!!!! So I bought a home 2 years ago and knew very little about proper drainage. With all the rain last winter it was obvious that I had a problem. Water in the crawl space! I didnt know where to start so I reached out to Cardona Construction. Over the course of 3-4 months Ranae and I discussed my options. I was very skeptical beacuse the person I bought my home from cut alot of corners to say the least. Ranae spent hours discussing a plan, answering questions and really went above and beyond reassuring me that french drains were the most realiable option to protect my foundation and keep my crawl space dry. They did not stop there, once they started the job they ran into some serious roots from a large palm tree and without hesitation decided to double wrap the french drains to prevent any potential root problems. Ranae made himself available during the course of the install and always answered his phone or promptly returned my call. They also inspected my foundation while doing the install. I highly recommend this company. read more

We were highly impressed with the quality of work in constructing a drainage system for our house. Rene gave an excellent presentation of the planned work (French drain and surface drains), and Fernando and team did a great construction job: working in tight spaces around house, trenching in heavily rooted yard, leaving the yard looking better than when started. Estimate was also the best. They were very professional and committed workers. read more

Cardona construction connected my existing downspouts to a new drain pipe to move the water away from my home. Rene and his team were responsive from the first time I reached out to him. They communicated with me throughout the whole process and arrived on time and completed the job in a timely manner. I would recommend them to anyone needing their services. read more
