We also needed gutter guards all round. It was a big and important job for us. We decided on DYI after reviewing Sherman's incredible on-line library of how-to videos, and asking endless questions. Even though we didn't contract, they offered a continuing supply of resource lists, problem solving advice, tool use suggestions, and overall encouragement. From every person I talked with, from the owner on through the staff, there was no trace of frustration about losing a job, but just the opposite: reminders that we are all in this together, that completing the work is a community contribution, and that we can do it together. Hard to imagine a more satisfying relationship with any company, or to experience more proof and practice of that company's genuine commitment to help.

Eli Israel and Integrity Remodeling is that contractor. I have had the good fortune of working with Eli and his team on two projects over the last 10 years. One was a major remodel/addition, the second project most recently was a minor project that was very impactful to my home and family. Both projects were completed to my 100% satisfaction. The cost and scope of the project was clearly outlined at the outset, there was open communication throughout the project and the everything was finished on time and on budget. Just as importantly, Eli and his team are clean courteous and professional. My family and I lived through the remodel/addition and at the end of the day the house/job site was left in a clean condition, and Eli's team were always on time and professional.

We began in January 2020, unaware of the impending Covid outbreak. The project was slated to be ~12 months but Eli's team had to deal with a number of extenuating factors which delayed us to 16 months. Eli's team did a tremendous job navigating a complex and dynamic situation. I highly recommend Eli and Integrity Remodeling for a few reasons: 1. Quality. The quality of the work is outstanding. I fully trust that when the IR team approached any aspect of our project they would do so with a deep commitment to quality. 2. Communication. It's nerve-racking to approach remodeling, which demands making decisions across hundreds of elements, most of which we didn't have any expertise in. The IR team was great at helping us understand the process, what was needed when, and the factors that we should understand about decision making. 3. Expectation setting. Eli is up front and transparent about budgets and timing, which is so important to plan, both financially and logistically. 4. Great team. Eli and his team are a joy to work with. Even amidst hard moments in our project, we felt like partners. Eli works with great subs and they were all committed to doing an excellent job on our project. You'll be in excellent hands with Eli and Integrity Remodeling!

My wife and I are having new low maintenance landscaping work on our home here in Pleasanton done…read moresoon. We wanted to get the front of the house stucco redone so that the work would not have to be done after the new landscape was installed and workers would have to walk back and forth over it. As a consulting engineer in my prior life, I have done enumerable bids and award for all sorts of major construction projects. I requested bids for the stucco work. As usual, there we some no bids, some ridiculous bids but Dave gave us without a doubt the best bid. Now the best bid can be the one that makes sense, has a great timetable and explains the details of the work but in addition to that, Dave was by a wide margin the low bidder. Now that might be a caution flag, but you review the bids and there were no red flags in Dave's bid just the same details that some other bids had. Dave also showed up and walked us through the plan. So we went with Dave and he had his great assistant pressure wash the entire front on the house including the eves and windows. He taped and covered everything. The next day he came back with Dave and the two of them completed the both coats of the acrylic stucco and it looks great and they matched the color perfectly. Highly recommended.

He was professional and very knowledgeable about the work. His price was fair and he and his team were able to finish the job in two days. They cleaned up well after they were finished. The work looks great and seamless. We would highly recommend Dave and his team if you're in need of stucco repair.

The project was fairly extensive, even if just a kitchen remodel; we bumped out from the existing kitchen wall about 5'9" x 24'. The foundation had to be engineered pretty heavily and everything had to be tied in and reinforced, thanks to Oakland codes and the fact that we are on a hillside. Close friends of ours recommended Colin; he had done work on a place they owned in Orinda, their current home here in Oakland and for family members. We liked the way that Colin and Dan, who was the foreman on our job, were able to work with the architect. There were some practical solutions that needed to be worked out, and their ideas were of definite value. We especially appreciated over the long run that they -- and especially Dan, as he was on site almost every day -- were able to interpret the plans and, if necessary, suggest modifications that were doable and practical. The workers all ended up being reliable and on time, and they were very good about cleaning up daily. The work areas were kept very well separated from the living areas, and our personal space was respected. We did not move out, were on site daily, and when we no longer able to use the kitchen they set up a sink for us on the deck. Lots of lots of little things done "right." Dan said that they usually see that things settle over about a year's time, so they plan on being back in to take care of any things that need to be tweaked/touched up. That said, they took care of everything in a very timely manner. Overall, an excellent experience.

What stood out most was their ability to problem-solve and find solutions when challenges came up, especially when working with the city of SF, which is quite a feat.

I highly recommend them. There are some mechanical things about doing a major project that matter for your quality of life, on which RW&B is excellent. 1) The team is there every day. 2) Change orders are straightforward. 3) Specialists are scheduled promptly and are reliable. 4) Parts purchasing is well planned. 5) The job site is clean. 6) Communications are frequent and consolidated in the group chat. Where RW&B really stands out is design vision and finish quality. We took 5 bids for the project. We chose to go with Josh because in our first meeting, he took the time to inspect and understand the space and the opportunity. He translated our idea and improved on it--throughout the project. In the kitchen, he's the one who suggested moving the range to the other wall, freeing up the floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets and built-in appliances we wanted. For the covered patio space, all I had was a shape and vibes. He took that roughest outline, built it out, made suggestions for the finishes, and designed the beam wraps which took it to the next level. We felt that he & the team shared our desire to build something that mattered. Living in the space now, we can't even remember the before-time. It feels so natural, and fits what we wanted exactly. Highly recommend Red White and Blue Construction.
