One of our biggest fears as first time home buyers were the initial set of items we needed to fix…read more Where to start? How much would it cost? And could we find a contractor we could trust? We are so grateful we received two separate referrals for Zen Construction! We worked with Dimitry from Zen Construction to relocate washer/dryer hook ups, paint majority of the house inside, and update some must-fix in bathrooms. From the time we first reached out for an estimate throughout the two weeks we worked together, Dimitry was extremely helpful and responsive. Dimitry took time to provide his thoughts/advice (always where relevant) in a very helpful and professional way. My husband and I also really appreciated that Dimitry did not try to up-sell us at any part of the work - if anything unexpected came up, he clearly distinguished what was a must-fix versus optional fix for us at a later time. Dimitry was also flexible when we decided to add a completely new component to our previously-agreed work. Dimitry's crew were extremely hardworking and professional. Every day the work areas were left clean and at the end of the project, all work was done and everything was spotless. We continued to be impressed by the speed at which Dimitry and his men worked all while delivering exceptional quality. As most home owners know - the wish list of items to be fixed never ends and we can't wait to work with Dimitry and his guys again!

Stay far away from this person, he is a schemer and a conniver and a nickel and dimer. We wanted a…read moresimple bathroom remodel. It has taken 3x as long as he said (because he took another job before finishing ours). He convinced us to get a slab counter top instead of a vanity because he said it would look better. He somehow broke the second slab, went back to the place he bought it and got the cheapest thing he could buy and installed it - it is not even the same color........ Also he used on-hand paints because he was to cheap to actually go get the colors we wanted for the bathroom that were not what we wanted and then blamed the lights on the off coloring lol!!!. He told us to go get two slabs that we wanted and we did at a cost of 1K. Today he had the nerve and the audacity to email us asking to send him a check for the finished job - that he did not finish and left us holding this situation. Come back and fix the slab problem you created and paint the walls the color we wanted. Again STAY AWAY!

We've had a great experience with Essa, and we're feeling so thankful that we found him and…read morereceived his help in our home! We definitely recommend him to any of our friends and family! He always arrived on time first thing in the morning, the projects were completed when he estimated they would be done, and the work is well done and beautiful. He cleans the space nicely when the project is finished. He is a straightforward and responsive communicator and offers a fair price. I also really appreciate that he easily helps out where needed, like helping to move furniture or doing smaller repairs. Over the past five years we've done multiple home improvement projects with three different contractors before Essa and each time the projects ended with frustration and disappointment, each time for different reasons, and it left us feeling always worried we could never find someone new who is trustworthy, on time, and delivers well done work. Essa was all of those things for us, and we have now hired him on three recent projects, two large projects (floor installation for entire floor of our home and opening an outdoor stair and drain and replacing everything) and also a collection of small repairs, painting, and installations around our home, and all has gone well and looks great! Thank you Essa! We will definitely be in touch for any help needed in our home in the future!

Best thing was he was with us during the entire process of choosing and designing our cabinets which we bought from a local business. We removed walls, installed new floors, new paint, he did it all. We are very happy with his work and that's why we had him do one bathroom as well. Very polite, always on time and his work is Amazing. I'll let the pictures do the talking, highly recommend him.

From start to finish, Reinaldo was an absolute professional. He was always responsive to our questions and ideas, kept us updated on his progress with texts and photos, and made sure we understood all our options without ever pressuring us. His communication is excellent, and he truly listens to what you want your home to become. Reinaldo's workmanship is outstanding. His attention to detail is second to none -- if something isn't perfectly straight or aligned, he notices and fixes it before you even have to say a word. Our new kitchen is both beautiful and incredibly functional, with a layout that makes cooking and entertaining a joy. The bathroom remodel is equally impressive -- the tile work is immaculate and the overall finish is flawless. His crew reflects his professionalism as well: polite, friendly, and respectful of our home. They always left the job site as clean as possible at the end of each day. Reinaldo is not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable contractor but also a genuinely great person to work with. His goal is always to make your remodeling dreams come true, and he absolutely succeeded with ours. We can't recommend RP Builders highly enough -- whether your project is big or small, you'll be in excellent hands with Reinaldo and his team.

What a range of reviews they have…read more I'll add this short one. I had a slider that let storms into the ceiling of my bedroom below. Previous contractors failed to repair it diligently. The rain has not yet come this season but AMAC was the only vendor that ran a hose and deluged the slider after making a patch. The deluge did not enter the bedroom. My fingers are crossed. Since they were in the house already and since my bedroom was tore up to get at the inside of the ceiling and with the curtains all open the carpet really showed its age and I had been considering having a wood floor put in so in for a penny in for a pound and I requested a quote and it was reasonable. They asked if I'd like to procure the materials so as to save the markup and I have a stout ride so spent a day at all the Lumber Liquidators in the Bay Area for as none seem to have everything you need in stock at the same location and 1,000 pounds of floor schlepped from the garage to my living space what a workout and I was ready for them and happy I saved 500 clams of markup. Because of certain details the job took twice as long as I expected. I just gave them my keys and got used to wondering where my bed would be tonight as they moved it from one place to another each day. Baudelia, the service rep who put up with my incessant whining was awesome and as soon as she realized I needed constant updates she gave them without having to be asked. And. Even though the job took longer than they anticipated they honored their original estimate no questions asked. The men in my house over the summer months were courteous, diligent and friendly. Their work when it was finished gave my space a much needed upgrade. Even now two months after they finished when I walk down the stairs they did into the room they did I smile. Not enough smiles these days. Thank you Baudelia and all your men for making my spaces happier.

I am a residential building designer who strives to build strong connections with my clients up…read morefront so that I can experience the project through their eyes and collaboratively realize the design based on their needs and wishes. We also sometimes realizes permit drawings for other designers who would rather not go through the challenges of assemble drawings and legal documents required by cities to acquire building permits. Such was the case was the when I received a phone call. "I'm Christopher Gates and I'm working on the O. project in San Francisco and I think we're missing a real opportunity." Chris went on to explain that the upper and lower levels of the project were connected by a set of non conforming stairs, which were grandfathered in by not touching them, but were't the most enjoyable to navigate. The previous designer had elected not to touch those stairs. But Chris suggested something extraordinary: "Perhaps we can carve out some space from the adjacent closet, a bathroom, and a light well, and make a set of beautiful stairs with a skylight above that unifies the home right when you walk through the front door. Are you interested in checking it out?" As one who wants my clients to really love their new home, I was a little embarrassed that I'd miss the opportunity myself. But even more, I was super grateful for Chris's suggestion as well as his palpable enthusiasm, especially when so many architects and builders are willing just to gloss over it just to get it done quickly. "Hell yes!" I said. We scheduled a time to meet, trouble shot the challenges, and over the next 10 days, co-created an amazing solution together. Yesterday, nearly nine months since that first meeting, I had the chance to check it out the (nearly) finished project. Chris and his fantastic team had totally transformed the place, from a chopped up, piecemeal layout to a spacious, light-filled home with all the essential amenities a family needs. Thank you, Chris, for making me a better designer through your curiosity, fantastic work, and service to your clients!

Sadly enough I'm giving Cornerstone Junk Hauling and Moving 1 measly little star! I like Vea, the…read moreowner, but his way of doing business leaves much to be desired. Here's my story. I decided to put my house on the market in June of 2021. At the recommendation of my Realtor I had some trees and shrubs removed. I hired Cornerstone to haul away the debris. I didn't bother asking the cost since my Realtor informed me that their prices were more than fair. Upon completion of the job I was beyond shocked when the owner of Cornerstone told me the cost would be nearly $5000! I reluctantly paid them but honestly felt that the work they didn't warrant nearly $5000! Fast forward a couple months. Again, my Realtor convinced me to hire Cornerstone to move me 90 minutes North. Vea, the owner, came to my home and looked at everything that would be moved and told me it would all fit in one load and the cost would be $2000. I agreed to that cost. Moving day fast approached and Vea and two workers showed up at my house to move everything. About 3 hours into them moving Vea informs me that there is no way he's going to fit all my belongings in one load as promised. I literally had to leave behind several valuable pieces of furniture and artwork. Vea told me he'd come back the following day to pick up the items left behind. It only took literally minutes for him and his worker (it was really a 1 man job) to load the rest of my belongings. They quickly unloaded my items upon arriving at my home and again I was shocked when Vea, the owner, told me that I owed him another $600. I was upset since he told me he'd fit it all in one load! The following day we began to unload the garage and that's when I began to notice the severe damage done to my many pieces of furniture. There was missing paint from one piece and deep scratches, dents and dings on many other pieces of furniture I love. I also had several broken items in boxes that were pack by a professional packer. I contacted Vea and he asked me to send him pictures and that he would make it right. I did so but instead of accepting liability he denied any wrongdoing. I'm outraged that this owner would do business like this. I trusted Vea and his two workers with my life contents and they blew it big time! My only recourse of action is to take him to small claims court. Sad!
