We have a historic (Mills Act) craftsman home that's over 100 years old. Jon is not always…read morepunctual, but it's because he *cares* about his projects, and he takes the time to really talk to you; it's worth the wait. Unlike Lars and other companies (who have project managers who drop in maybe once a day for about 15 minutes) he had one of his guys on-site during the entire duration of our project, not only working, but also supervising all the subcontractors, with the authority to fire any slackers. Our project included remodel of the kitchen, master bath, and guest bath; conversion of an office into a powder room; adding a foundation underneath a two-story addition; conversion of a bedroom into a walk-in closet and laundry room; replacing the furnace; adding central A/C; re-building of a chimney; widening and paving a driveway; building a retaining wall along the driveway to hold back the front yard; adding electrical to the garage; replacing historic windows; and that's just the major stuff. Jon takes pride in his projects and the work of his crew, and in a large job like ours that can rack up a tab pretty quickly, he offers options and gives his honest opinions. He stands by his crew's work and takes responsibility if things go awry. We have recommended him to others, and we will use him again.

Very unprofessional company! I waited 2 weeks for my…read moreappointment with the owner Jon, took off work and drove out to the job site to meet with him. The Project Manager showed up and stated Jon couldn't make it. When asked, he stated he did review the plans that I was asked to email back when I scheduled. I figured he was the project manager and he was familiar with the plans so lets get it done. After walking the job site and answering all my questions with positive answers and him further stating that "this type of job is definitely in our wheelhouse" I was excited to have a company that could finally get this project across the finish line. I confirmed he had my email address and so I waited for the quote. 1 week, 2 weeks...nothing! So I call Amanda to let her know that it's been 2 weeks and I don't have the quote yet. She tells me, oh he had Covid and that's why you haven't gotten the quote yet. She said she was going to get in touch with the owner Jon. An hour later this is the email she send to me: Hello, Thank You for the opportunity to walk through your project site. At this time we will not be able to provide the type of services you are looking for or need for your project. We thank you for your consideration and wish you the best going forward. I was shocked at their response that they were "unable to provide construction services" as they were in possession of the plans for weeks and I was insulted at the "we have no need for your project" statement! I left a voicemail for the owner asking politely for a return call to explain a little better, honestly still hoping this was some misunderstanding. I also replied to Amanda's email asking for the owner to call me. That was 9 days ago on the 21st of Jan. They have ignored all of my requests to date. I have dodged a bullet not using this company, the last thing you want is to hire a contractor that cannot communicate.

They finished the job before the target date Kimberlee the project manager and Bill provided us with excellence.

Bad experience and a complete waste of our time. We saw the good reviews on Mike and his company…read moreand asked him out for an estimate. The only word I can use to describe Mike's demeanor was arrogant. He walked around the house as I told him what needed to be done. He didn't offer ideas or even seem very interested. Aside from the main job, I asked him to measure some windows in a small office, and he said he didn't need to. He could measure them by looking at them . He also told me that replacement windows for this small room would start at $35,000. I've had several bids on those windows, and that's about three times the highest bid I received. In fact, that is the only bid Mike gave me. After walking around with his nose in the air for an hour around my house, he promised to send me a bid in the next week. I never heard back. My husband sent an email, a text, and called Mike, but still no response, no bid. The work done on my home so far has been done by an amazing finish carpenter from Rancho Santa Fe. He has, unfortunately, retired . I think that once Mike saw that I was not open to the crazy pricing he was offering, he lost interest. I think this company might be for you if you don't care about price or budget and will pay whatever bill they send you. In any case, it was extremely unprofessional not to send out a bid , or at the very least inform us that he wasn't interested in the job.

We hired E2 to remodel our kitchen in our condo. We met with Frank at the beginning so that he…read morecould get a sense of our needs - we wanted to basically gut the kitchen and install new cabinets, flooring and counters as well as lighting and 2 new appliances (stove and microwave). We had met with two other contracting companies and we were given a similar quote as E2 but to be honest, meeting with Frank gave me a totally different level of confidence than meeting with the others. He listened carefully, was very honest with us about expectations and I immediately felt comfortable. This is the first remodel me and my husband have ever done so we were nervous! Frank and Alex made very quick progress with our kitchen - it's a more complicated inspection process with condominiums so inspections were the main hold-up for us. Along the way they made sure we were getting the results we wanted and were quick to make changes if we had any requests. Alex was great to work with, he is very detail oriented and does great work. He and his team always left our house and the common areas in the condo building extremely clean (cleaner than it was originally, honestly). I always felt great greeting them in the morning, knowing that the place was safe in their hands. We ended up having a weird water heater valve issue from a previous installation that had to get fixed before our final kitchen inspection and Frank came over to offer his expertise on what he thought the fix could be. I was very appreciative because I wanted to be able to talk to the plumbing company with confidence about viable solutions. Frank and his team really went above and beyond in making sure we were comfortable and happy with the work. Frank asked us to leave a review and I am happy to do it because I was very pleased with their work and would truly recommend them to any one who is looking to have remodel work done.

When I moved into my condo, I wanted the hardwood floors to be renewed (not refinished since they…read morewere installed 1-2 years ago). The scope of work was to buff down the current top coat and then reapply the protective top coat/gloss. The square footage was about 500-600 sqft (hallway + living/dining room area). I called Frank and he was very responsive. I made an appointment for a walkthrough and he gave me estimates for everything I wanted done (although I went with another person for painting/other jobs). He was nice and explained everything very well. So his people came to do the floors (only took about 1.5-2 hours to complete) and he stopped by at the end to check on the work. Since the topcoat was oil based, I wouldn't be able to walk on the floor for 24 hours (which was fine because the entire condo was empty anyway). The next day, I went to check on the finished floor. I was very disappointed! There were dust particles all over so the floor felt bumpy/dirty (there were some places where it was ok but some places where it was very very dusty looking). Frank called later that night to see what I thought of it and I told him that I was dissatisfied. He went to take a look and agreed that it was unacceptable. So, he scheduled his people to go to my condo again to redo the job. I showed them where the worst places were and they said they would vacuum and wipe down the areas after buffing (I guess they didn't wipe it down afterwards?). They were in and out of the condo in 1.5 hours. The next day, I went to check on the final result. Disappointed again! There was definitely less dust particles but it looked like they buffed down some parts and recoated while other parts it just looked like they recoated on top of the existing top coat. As a result, you can see the streak/brush marks from the top coat (almost like when you paint your nails ... you put on the first coat of nailpolish but you don't wait long enough when you paint the second coat, and then you get that horrible clumpy streak). Also, you can clearly see that on the edges of the floor, there is no clear coat at all! I was very frustrated at this point because I had already scheduled other work to be done, so I didn't have time for him/crew to come in again to redo the floors. Frank called again the next day and I told him that I wasn't satisfied but I didn't have the time to have him redo it again. And with that, he charged me the price we agreed upon and my floors look actually worse than they did before they did any work. 2 stars: 1 star - Great communication ... will call you after the work is done and responds to emails quickly. 1 star - He did redo the work when I was dissatisfied ... but if you're redoing the work, it better be done correctly! But that's about it ... the work is the most important and they just didn't do a good job. I would not recommend E2 Remodel and would not use them again in the future.

We've had a really good experience working with Elias and EG Construction. Elias runs a tight job…read moreand does a great job keeping everything organized and moving in the right direction. From our side as an electrical subcontractor, communication has always been clear and the jobs have been well coordinated, which makes a big difference in the field. It's always appreciated when a contractor respects the trades and keeps the schedule realistic, and that's something we've consistently seen working with Elias. The projects run smoothly and the expectations are always straightforward. Overall, EG Construction is a solid team to work with, and we look forward to doing more projects with Elias in the future. -Valley Electric

EG Construction was the general contractor for us on a junior ADU conversion project for us last…read moreyear (2024). They did good work, were relatively responsive, and generally stayed within our budget and desired schedule. They also worked relatively well with a handful of subcontractors that we wanted to use for different aspects of the work that needed to be completed.

If we have another significant project in the future, we'd definitely consider hiring them again.

I will start this simply: We had a very positive experience with Brasseur Construction! 5 stars all…read morearound. We did a large and complex remodel that involved moving interior walls, demo down to studs, new appliances, new floors, electrical and plumbing. We lived in the front part of our home while the construction was completed, so we had a front row seat to the process and navigated people working while we were home for months. If a remodel was going to go south, this would have been it. It didn't, and the final product is remarkable. There are so many elements I could speak to, but this review would be too long! I'll hit the highlights as they are worth mentioning: Price: Let's be real, cost is a central component to a remodel. Ed Brasseur was up front with us about costs, including the possibility things could cost more than expected. When prices changed, because of the market (labor, cost of lumber, etc.) or because of our choices, he let us know right away. He helped us source local vendors and made practical suggestions for where spending money was worth it and where it wasn't. Communication: I think Ed Brasseur is a straight shooter. He let us know the best ways to reach him (text vs email vs calls) for each type of concern, he was available, and his tone was helpful, kind and direct. It's a balance I haven't found in another contractor. He was also clear about timelines, payment, and kept us posted as things progressed. The Work Itself: Our home looks amazing. It is like a different house! They supported our design choices, checked in with us as they went, and made detailed suggestions that enhanced our ideas. I cannot express it well enough, so I've included some before and after pics below. The People: There are some stellar folks working with Ed, and they deserve direct shout-outs in this review: Eduardo: Eduardo is a solid team leader. He was clear, helpful and hopeful when we had concerns. When something needed to be managed, he said "no problem" and he meant it. Interactions with him felt both authentic and professional, and his work is really good. He delegated well and stepped up to handle things himself when he needed to. That's gold in a foreman. Erick: There is a real pride in the craft evident in Erick. He has a mix of a clear work ethic and a sense of humor. That made a big difference in our day-to-day experience. Working in someone's home while they are there, working from home themselves, is no easy task. He handled it personably and professionally. (PS: Our closet is great, Erick!) Moises: If you want someone to do the work both quickly and well, Moises is your man. He got right to the task, was efficient, detailed, and he's just a nice guy. He protected our furniture and other property when things needed to be masked and covered, and, to be frank, we could tell he gave a shit about us and the project. Thanks, Moises. There are others I could name, but I think the gist is clear: this is a good team, led by a solid foreman, directed by the head of a company who really knows what he is doing. Thanks, y'all. You changed our home, and made a difference in our day-to-day life. We appreciate you and all your work.

**BEWARE OF FAKE REVIEWS**…read more This business reached out to me asking me, likely because of my Yelp elite status, to leave them a review without even having experienced their services and offered me a $250 credit towards their services after leaving the review. I told them I wouldn't be able to leave an honest review without hiring them for a service first. I later noticed that the account that had messaged me had left a fake 5 star review so I "oh no" it and they somehow removed our messaging thread and stopped replying to me. Yelp sends me emails of messages so I still have their messages. Now I'm questioning which reviews are real and from actual customers. So, beware if you plan to hire this company and you are someone who relies on Yelp reviews.
