I had Omni painting my extensive outdoor railings on my 3 level house 4 years ago. I know railings…read moreare a pain in the behind and Omni is not a cut rate business. But here is why I will continue to highly recommend Omni. I noticed the other day a strange peeling on the rod part of the railing. At first I thought someone had scraped it. But no, the paint was actually peeling. I focused and saw it on different rods. I took a snapshot and sent it to Omer and he called me instantly and Dee came out and verified it. Dee returned with one of his great crew and they are working on it. Now that is a very very good business when they respond like that. We can't figure it out, was it a bad can of paint, why is it only on the rod portion. Carefully looking at all 3 levels, it's the same pattern. But Omni didn't hesitate and are graciously resanding and painting.

Home Healing Renovations completed a comprehensive remodel of my house that included some serious…read morefoundation retrofitting and concrete site work. This was a big 10-month project that involved coordinating with an architect and multiple engineering disciplines. I hired HHR on a personal recommendation, but also because I could tell that Jason cares first and foremost about doing quality work, and is a straightforward and honest communicator - not always easy to find in a contractor. The house looks great, tons of neighbors walking by keep telling me so, so it's not just my opinion - but also, several neighbors have commented on how nice and friendly Jason's crews are. That was my experience too, if you hire this company most or all of the work will be done by employees who - as best I can tell - like their jobs and the owner. That makes a big difference in how the project goes. Shout outs to Rafael, Costa, Santos, and everyone who put tons of work into fixing up the house.

Jason again coordinated the planning and permit process seamlessly and also worked with the City of Alameda to upgrade the electrical service to our house. They created a stunningly beautiful total remodel of the guest bathroom with new bathtub, gorgeous tile work and perfect installation of new vanity, fixtures, grab bars, lighting. There was excellent timing of the many stages of construction, with a smooth daily sequence of the teams of highly skilled and professional electricians,plumbers, carpenters and painters. We always received excellent communication for the schedule of work. There was hardly ever a weekday without substantial work taking place. All the workers were highly skilled, tremendously helpful, cheerful and professional. It was truly a pleasure to deal with the entire team. With these two renovations, HHR has now totally redone our three bathrooms, installed pocket doors, reconfigured closets, installed new wood flooring, and performed many electrical and lighting improvements. We are 100% pleased with the results of both of the renovations. Home Healing Renovations are the very best and are highly recommended.

We really appreciated the no-pressure sales approach -- everything felt easy, transparent, and comfortable along with great and fair pricing. The crew took their time, paid attention to every detail, and the results truly show. Our house looks beautiful, and we have already received many compliments from neighbors and friends. In my eyes, they are more than just painters -- they are artists. Their craftsmanship transformed our home, and we could not be happier. We highly recommend Rayco to anyone looking for exceptional quality, honesty, and a team that clearly takes pride in their work. Sandra and Ruben Oakland, CA

Maintaining a home requires a lot of maintenance. In early spring I decided to get my house's…read moreexterior dry rot repair and a new coat of paint before the winter. I went to Yelp to review the painting contractors in my area who also did repairs for dry rot and siding. I selected three contractors with a rating of four starts and above and scheduled an appointment with each of them to view the house. Within a week I received all three proposals, and I reviewed and compared them to ensure the contractors were providing the same services. Two of the proposals came in with a higher cost and the third was lower for the same amount of work-- so I selected the latter, which was Rayco. In addition to the great rate, Tony L. arrived early to the appointment for viewing the house and we had a great rapport. After we selected the paint scheme and received approval from our HOA, we scheduled the work to begin the last week of June. Tony L. and his team arrived at 8 am with their equipment and porta potty. He introduced me to the team and said that the first day was to power wash the house. I asked him if he could also power wash our cement, and he said that it can be spotty. I told him that it was okay, and he obliged. Tony L. and his team communicated with me every day to let me know if there were any issues we needed to address and consulted with me about the paint scheme. The team was very professional and hard working: they did a great job painting, repairing the dry rot, and the siding, which was about forty to fifty percent of the work. Each day the team made sure to clean up the area to ensure its safety. It took a week to complete the job, and they even worked on July 4th. During this time my wife needed to paint the interior of her tea business. She had just signed the contract for her space and needed to get her business up and running within a month. Lucky for her I was already working with Tony L. and recommended that she speak with him. She scheduled an appointment with him, and they met at her new space. After they met, he provided her with a quote, and she accepted it because his cost came in much lower than the previous quotes. Tony L. and his team completed the paint job within a week. We have received so many compliments about the paint job and color scheme. In short, I would recommend Rayco because Tony L. and team are great, they have the expertise and knowledge to get the job done on time and on budget. Their work is excellent!

About three months…read moreago, I had my kitchen tiles replaced, so I have a good understanding of the current flooring market prices. I sent out a quote request on Sunday and only received three responses. However, when I saw the price Fillip offered, I knew it was the closest to my expectations. After Monday, as other vendors resumed work, I gradually received a few more quotes. However, many of them seemed to be taking advantage of the situation, so I chose not to respond. When Fillip came to inspect the situation, he confirmed his quote, which was largely consistent with his initial estimate. In the end, my condo management decided to take over my claim, but I had to use their designated contractor. Although this experience didn't allow me to follow through with Fillip, I still appreciate his transparency and reasonable pricing.

The patches looked awful, and a second attempt to correct them failed, too. Then I did some research and found Davis Stucco. From the very first interactions via email, I was impressed by how promptly and clearly Andy communicated. He came to my house on time and showed a depth of knowledge I had not found with other contractors. He also explained in detail what he could do and why each step was important. Then he executed on time and according to plan. The resulting patches match the historic edifice perfectly. They integrate with the existing stucco seamlessly, and this is a huge relief. His team was courteous, and they cleaned up beautifully. I would not hesitate to work with Andy again.

Wanted to share positive feedback on Andy with Davis Stucco. I called upon him for help when a…read moreprior general contractor wasn't able to get a matching stucco finish for a wall repair. We had gone quite a few rounds with the other contractor but the wall just didn't meet our quality standards. Andy was super responsive, professional, and very friendly. He was confident that he could match the stucco with no problem. He came over a few days later, shaved down the old stucco, revised the work with new stucco within an hour. It matched perfectly! I didn't realize Stucco was something that required a bit more specialization, and Andy is definitely your guy if you need quality stucco work. I would hire Andy again in a heartbeat if we had any stucco needs in the future!

It was a big job, and the crew completed everything in just one day. They were professional, efficient, respectful of the property, and did beautiful work. I especially appreciated that they noticed and repaired a few cracks in the walls that we hadn't even discussed as part of the original bid. They took the extra time to make sure everything looked finished and done properly. The building looks fantastic, and the whole process was easy from start to finish. I would absolutely hire them again and highly recommend them.

I called them out to give an estimate to redo the hardwood floors and also add some flooring to a house that my wife and I just purchased. The guy, who's name I cannot remember, showed up almost seeming as if he did want to be there. I spoke to him when he arrived and he barely spoke back, and refused to even look me in the face as if he did not want to be there. I hate to say this but this is what I thought, as I have dealt with this nonsense before, "what's wrong a Black man cant own a house." I may be off base with that but that is damn sure how I felt. Although he was extremely unfriendly, he walked through the small house and listened to my requests and made a couple of suggestions. He told me I would receive an estimate the following day. That was about 2 weeks ago--no contact at all. I shouldn't have been surprised at all since he seemed to not want to be there in the first place or be of any service to me.

The best! My mom hired Gilor Construction for a full ADU remodel at her house, and the experience…read moreexceeded expectations. They started in mid-December and finished by April 7, earlier than we anticipated, and that timeline included a major setback: an 80-foot redwood tree fell on the house during a Christmas storm. The roof was crushed, part of the structure separated, and we lost power for nearly a week. It was a stressful situation, and they handled it. They repaired all of the damage and still completed the full project within budget. That alone says a lot about how they run their jobs. Or Haim, the owner, is very communicative and genuinely cares about making sure everything meets expectations. That level of involvement made a difference. The fantastic onsite team was led by Jesus, who treated the project like it was his own home. He was thoughtful, detail-oriented, and clearly took pride in the work. We would absolutely hire Gilor again and are happy to serve as a reference.

We've done several other home improvement projects in the past and had such a headache with the contractors and sub-contractors not showing up when they said they would, or not paying attention to details, so I know how rare it is to find a contractor you actually like! Plus, their bid came in much lower than the three other contractors who quoted for us. We replaced four bathroom vanities which seemed like a small project, but required more skilled work than we originally imagined - including redoing plumbing and moving electrical to accommodate the new layout of vanity, mirrors, and lighting. The crew was very careful to cover surfaces to prevent damage (and also avoid dust getting on all our things) and to clean up their tools and equipment at the end of each day so we could have our space back. Arturo did really stellar work and clearly pays attention to the small details, like smooth caulking lines and patching each little area of drywall and paint to ensure a completely finished project. Their communication was great, and when we ran into a few hiccups with how to best install wainscoting, Jesus ensured we were happy with the plan before the crew moved forward with it. All in all, we really recommend Gilor and will be using them again for future home projects.
