We experienced a fire which resulted in the entire home needing abatement due to severe smoke damage and asbestos being found in the drywall mud. That being completed, we had a home that was stripped down to the studs in need of a complete rebuild. It took a while but has been worth it. Duarte construction did a great job. Ramon Ramos was the point man for insurance company interaction, remodeling and monetary inquiries. He was always responsive to our phone calls, quoted multiple iterations of possible changes we could make, provided timely updates on all matters, and was willing to meet with us anytime we wanted to discuss things or do walkthroughs of the site. He was extremely easy to work with and we appreciated his thoroughness and attention to detail. The job foreman was Ryan Huckaby. We can't say enough good things about him. He always answered the phone and was willing to take as much time as needed to discuss the build and our concerns. He has a wealth of construction knowledge and was happy to share it with us any time. He guided us rookies through multiple options and consistently made great recommendations. The quality of work he supervised was consistently excellent. He knew the subcontractors well and stayed on top of their work. It was easy to see that he wanted the work done to be of high quality and took pride in the job he and Duarte did. Camie Kern, the selections coordinator at Duarte, was also great to work with. She was always available via phone, text, or email and made many good recommendations on the interior of the house from doorknobs to appliances, paint, electrical and plumbing fixtures, etc. She was infinitely patient. Chad White, also with Duarte, did a great job on the cabinets and met us in his showroom in Loomis to discuss specific details. And Layla Splawn reached out to us on the day of the fire to offer support and advice. We were most appreciative having never gone through something like this before and we were a bit traumatized. Throughout the rebuilding process she would periodically check in and ask how my brother was doing as he was living in the house at the time and had to relocate. That concern meant a lot to me. So, a big thank you to all at Duarte. The home turned out great! read more

We enthusiastically recommend Duarte Construction. In February 2019, our recently purchased home had been destroyed right down to the subflooring by a massive Ponderosa Pine that crashed through our bedroom at 2:30 a.m. during a storm. My wife and I had zero knowledge of how to choose a general contractor, and much at risk if we made a bad choice. We asked a knowledgeable man we trusted, Karl Grove of 888 Abatement, who seemed quite savvy about our predicament and strongly urged us to contact Duarte Construction. "They specialize in working with insurance companies on reconstruction and are the top of my list." I made the call and Duarte responded rapidly. They met with us on site the next day, bringing all the key people who became the team we worked with throughout the project, and started walking us through the process, answering our several concerns and many questions with candor and expertise -- my wife and I felt relaxed and confident of a good outcome. We both remarked afterwards what a great relief we felt. From that day and throughout the project, we felt well taken care of. Ryan Huckabay, the Project Manager, was exemplary: we were kept informed, continuously received timely updates, help whenever needed, superb suggestions, and were always pleasantly surprised with the excellent craftsmanship of subcontractors. But we will be living daily with the visible fine work of Duarte master carpenters, Jimmy and Serge. It is rare indeed to meet generalists of their skill level. Allan Fontanilla, our Estimator, worked painstaking with the hundreds of line items, thousands of details, dozens of critical expert-to-expert phone calls and negotiations with our insurance adjusters -- and through several updates and supplements to the estimate.  Camie Kern, Selections Specialist, helped us make very pleasing choices on everything from major appliances to cabinetry, tile, wood flooring, paint colors and bathroom fixtures. And kept us within budget. While we might imagine a rougher takeoff scenario than a massive tree fall destroying our home almost a year ago, we could not dream of a smoother landing. We consider it a matter of great fortune to have found Duarte Construction. read more

Hopefully you will never have to go through the experience of a house fire. That said, if it does happen it is crucial that you trust the company you choose to rebuild what is basically your most important asset. Your home. I first learned our house had burned when I received a call from Damon at Duarte. As I was still in the dark as far as the fact that the house had burned, I assumed he was just some form of solicitor, took his information an hung up on him. But it made me think. And I called our tenant. She burst into tears and the rest is history. For the next year and a half I had the pleasure of dealing with the good folks at Duarte as they walked me through the rebuild. It was an incredible learning experience yet one I do not care to repeat in my lifetime. I had no idea what all it would entail. And, to top it off, this happened in the middle of the Covid crisis so everything took much longer than normal. Everyone at Duarte was so understanding and patient with me beginning with Damon who was my first contact with them and was pretty much the reason I decide to go ahead and have them do the work. Everyone was incredible! My project manager, Jason, went above and beyond offering assistance. Even after the job was done. I kept reaching out to him for one thing or another and he was always there to answer my questions. My team of Ramon and Camie, as well as Jason, led me through the process that would ultimately result in the reconstructed upgraded home. I could not have made a better choice. Everyone at Duarte was super easy to work with. That also includes Jade in their office as well. She patiently supplied me with forms and figures that I probably kept somewhere but could not locate whenever I needed help. There is so much to keep track of! I will be forever grateful I went with my choice of Duarte. With luck, you will never have to go through an experience like mine, but if you ever do, choosing a trustworthy company like Duarte will be one of the soundest decisions you could ever make. It will help you sleep better at night! read more

We have worked with Duarte Construction since the night of the fire as they were the company on call to secure the home along with the fire department. Duarte Construction made the first contact quickly and it was with Damon Conn. Within 4 days of the fire we had the adjuster and the architect out to the house things got moving, this was from the advice given by Damon. We asked Duarte Construction to build our home as fast as they could, our home burned down May of 2021 the race was on. Billy McBroom Project Manager, ran a clean job and that is a saying a lot since the home was torn down to the studs and most of the roof had to be replaced. We are so grateful to Billy for his skill and knowledge and continued due diligence to complete our home quickly. Camie Kern, one of the tough jobs, picking out all the stuff and when your home burns down it is a lot of stuff. Camie was wonderful to work with, with a great eye and even better ideas. Jeff Thomas the contract guy, he was always available for questions, he handled the paperwork with the insurance company for the constructions claim and his skills are excellent in this area. Chad White cabinet man, our cabinets are amazing, I do not have the words for this man and his skills. There are many others that we did not work as closely with but thank you for the assistance on our home, you are not forgotten. The best thing about Duarte Construction, it is not just a job for them, they get it, it is your home. They helped us in more than the construction of our home and we will be very grateful for their patience, cooperation, and kindness. It was a tough job during a pandemic, supply chain issues, and high shortage of workers. We moved back into our home Feb 2022, 10 months after the fire. We are forever grateful and thank you Duarte Construction for being there for our family. read more

We had water damage December 2023. I came home from work with 2inches of water in my kitchen and family room. There was water dripping down the ceiling and walls. The water was everywhere from kitchen to family room, stairs and master bedroom. It was devastating. I met Ramon Ramos from Duarte who did an estimate of how much water damage there was at our house. We were skeptical of who to go with for construction as we heard a lot of unpleasant stories from friends. Our claims adjustor suggested we go with Duarte as they are experienced in handling this cases. When construction began, I met with Ryan Huckleberry ( project manager), Camie Kern and Chad White. They walked me through the process of rebuilding. They are very professional and courteous. They accommodated our schedule to get the work done. Ryan Huckleberry always made himself available. He responded to every questions I have anytime of the day. He is prompt, polite and very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond with every request we had. Him and his team are exceptional. Camie Kern helped me pick out fixtures for the house. Camie was also responsive every time I had a question. She made sure we get everything we needed in time. Chad White was the one who build my cabinets. He does very amazing cabinetry work. Tell him want you want and he will make it happen. Jade Acosta dealt with our lender. She waited patiently no mater how long the hold is. She promptly responded to every email I sent. Ramon Ramos is the one who took care of the financial part of the entire construction. Ramon was always approachable. He made the process smooth. Duarte Construction did an outstanding job rebuilding our house. We are very pleased of the work ethic from this team. They are efficient, reliable and devoted. Thank you Duarte! read more

Losing your home and all of your possessions to a fire is a traumatic event one hopes to never face, but my family did in 2018. When you face such an event you want the right people beside you to help you rebuild. The folks at Duarte Construction are those people. The first person we met at Duarte was Greg Walker. He has vast knowledge about all things related to construction and the patience to walk through the smallest details time and again. We changed our minds many times and had thousands of questions. Greg was always available and worked through every step in the process with us to make our dream home a reality. Ryan Huckaby managed our project...I hardly know where to begin. It was clear from the beginning that he wanted our house to be perfect for us. We weren't just another client or job. We added some challenging features to our home. Ryan researched each element extensively, spoke endlessly with vendors, and sweated every detail to make sure all was perfect. He orchestrated the complicated dance with all of the subcontractors to assure the finest workmanship and attention to detail. He cared as much as we cared. Camie Kern helped us with all of our design elements. She has such an eye for detail and spent hours upon hours finding exactly what I wanted, from paint colors, to countertops, to kitchen hardware, to bathroom tile. Chad is Duarte's cabinet craftsman and created cabinets that are both beautiful and functional. He worked with us to make sure that every door and drawer is exactly as it should be. We are back in our home, and I often look around me in wonder at what Duarte helped us create. I must admit that I was a bit sad when our project ended because it meant I wouldn't be seeing these fine people regularly again. They took care of us like family. read more

I am going to be completely honest, I wasn't expecting all the amazing work Duarte Construction performed to rebuild my home from the fire.  All work performed by Duarte Construction left me very impressed with the company. Jeff, Camie and Ryan are a dream team and were extremely professional and courteous. They communicated so well and went above and beyond. Even though we were in a pandemic the work was performed very quickly and they cleaned up all the areas they worked in. Prices were reasonable and the service was top notch, they made sure I stayed in budget. When I say I would highly recommend them to anyone, I mean it. Jeff, Camie and Ryan did an amazing job. Thank you for always answering all my questions and calls. thank you for also making the process so easy in rebuilding my home from scratch and recreate my lovely home again! If anyone goes through a fire I will definitely 100% recommend Duarte Construction and have them specifically request for Jeff, Camie and Ryan for the job. If I ever go through anything like this again I would definitely request Duarte Construction and ask for Jeff, Camie and Ryan to oversee and head the project. Hands down.I can speak from first hand that Jeff, Camie and Ryan are all super responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable!! They came out and rebuilt 5 homes during the pandemic and pulled permits, listened to 5 different home owners and installed everything to perfection. They recognized that we all lost our homes and created a simpler solution for all of us and listened precisely. If you want logical, competent and reliable service hire Duarte Construction for all projects and ask for Jeff, Camie and Ryan to do the Job. They exceeded and have gone above and beyond to make sure my home was and is perfect. read more

The majority of Duarte Construction's clients are, as we were, victims of home or business fire. Confronted with the total loss of our house we were inexperienced in the process and did not know what to expect from a rebuilding standpoint. The staff's prior experience and opinions were very reassuring. At our early meetings with Damon & Ramon they took time to discuss the process and educated us on what to expect. Throughout the entire rebuild of our home the team at Duarte exceeded our expectations. After the fire our insurance company instructed us to contact at least three construction contractors to get estimates of the cost to rebuild our damaged house. The first two contractors spent less than an hour on site and submitted a per foot estimate. Duarte spent eight hours on site and prepared the required detailed estimate long before we signed the contract to rebuild. Duarte does not charge clients a percentage of insurance payouts. With their help ours paid the policy limits, ensuring our rebuild budget was adequate to build our home. The project manager, Shawn, demonstrated professionalism and attention to detail through the subcontractors he hired and his invaluable expertise. After touring our house during various stages of the build, all visitors commented positively on the quality of workmanship. Having Shawn, Camie, and Ramon working together to the end of our project was invaluable. Their experience and opinions of current building codes, products, and suppliers made the countless decisions facing us less daunting. Choosing Duarte to assist in this project was the best decision we made and will be the best decision you will make. read more

We had a building fire with 8 occupied apartment homes.... DUARTE was there on scene before the fire dept even put the fire out. Ashley, from Duarte, helped me with getting residents situated, speaking with the fire captain, contacting Red Cross, calming me down, etc. Ramon from Duarte was there calling his crew to get ready to board up doors and windows. They took care of everything. It was the biggest relief to have a company know what to do in an emergency situation. They took control and handled it all, so I could concentrate on helping my residents. Ramon is great, he has always been available to answer my questions by phone, e-mail or text, and to communicate with the owners, insurance companies, fire department, city of Rocklin, etc. He provided weekly updates & recaps that were so detailed. My day-to-day communication was with Tom, the project manager and team lead Brian. Tom arrived with his crew on time each and every day. They are very meticulous and want the job done correctly. Tom and Brian were so helpful, patient, professional and personable. Even when we changed our minds on items. They always went above and beyond my expectations. They are a start to finish company. We have our 8 apartment homes back, and rent ready for move in's. Tom reviewed the work completed at the end of each day to make sure we were on schedule. He has a great work ethic and was so easy to communicate with. He also took time to discuss the upcoming scheduling with me. I truly couldn't imagine working with anyone else during this catastrophe. Thank you for everything Duarte- I will miss seeing all of you. DUARTE FINISHED 1 MONTH AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!! read more

February 2020 our family was the victim of arson. From the moment they arrived at the scene they were professional and comforting. They understood that we were in shock and they treated us kindly but also did not treat us like children. Greg and Ashley surveyed the house, a few days later introduced us to our project manager and foreman (Tom and Brian) at our second walkthrough. Again we encountered superior customer service. Tom and Brian have both handled our project with professionalism and kindness. I keep reiterating the kindness in this review because if you have gone through something traumatic you suddenly realize the importance of kindness and how much it is needed. Every person you encounter at Duarte will treat you with that kindness. It is important and each of them knows that. Lastly, I want to speak about the finished product of the home. It is perfect (perfect does not cover it but I can not think of a better word). They helped me redesign my kitchen and bathroom to be functional. They made sure that every single tradesman that came into our house did their job correctly and without problems. They also had the home finished ahead of schedule. There really aren't words to express our gratitude towards this company. If you are ever in our position and I hope that you are not, this is the company you should choose. It is a difficult time the moments just after the fire happens and the decisions you make are going to affect you for several months. Duarte will help you through them with no hustle, just straightforward good people. read more

I recently had repairs completed in my home by Duarte Construction due to damage caused by a neighbor's fire, including laminate flooring, carpet replacement, and tile work. The entire process was handled with care and professionalism, and I'd like to acknowledge the individuals who made a difficult situation much easier. First, thank you to Eric Jarvi, Estimator, for providing a clear and thorough assessment and helping set the foundation for the project. His professionalism and attention to detail gave me confidence from the very beginning. A special thank you as well to Camie Kern, Selections Coordinator, for guiding me through the material choices with patience, expertise, and a genuine willingness to help. She made every step of the decision-making process smooth and stress-free. I especially want to highlight the exceptional service provided by David Ellison, Project Manager. His professionalism, communication, and attention to detail truly exceeded my expectations. Even while managing multiple projects, he consistently made me feel like I was his only customer. That level of dedication and consistency is incredibly rare--and it made the entire experience far less overwhelming. The quality of the work was excellent, and the customer service was even better. I'm truly grateful for the entire team's hard work and commitment. I highly recommend Duarte Construction to anyone in need of reliable, professional, and customer-focused service. read more

A pipe burst in our home and created a huge flood in our home. We filed the insurance claim and went through the process of finding a construction company to fix home. The water damage was very extensive and affected all 3 floors of our home. We were already feeling overwhelmed and like a fish out of water with everything. We met with 4 construction companies and within the first 5 minutes of meeting Duarte we knew they were the one. They instantly put us at ease and took so much off our shoulders so we could focus on getting back to our lives. Matt Neff was our estimator and worked seamlessly with our claims adjuster getting the quote sent over and items that may have been over looked. Ryan was our project manager and he was on top of everything. Letting us know every step of the way what was happening and when. I felt like we had someone in our corner and on our side with Duarte. Our project was a large one and we had changes come up and Ryan and his crew made it all happen effortlessly. More than once through this process I have looked at my husband and said I'am so glad we went with Duarte I can't imagine having anyone better. Everyone at Duarte has been extremely helpful, professional and above all making us feel like we are their only client. They truly care about their clients and making them happy. I would recommend Duarte Contstruction a million times over. read more

We highly recommend the team at Duarte Construction to rebuild a home affected by storm damage. Living through having our 1920's home destroyed on New Year's Eve 2023 by a huge tree falling onto the house, we were pleasantly surprised to meet the Duarte team with our insurance adjuster and have them expertly walk us through the construction project when we were very unfamiliar with ALL that it entails to rebuild an entire house. The Duarte team supported us throughout our year-long project with constant communication regarding the status of each stage of the rebuilding process as well as answering all questions about our contract. When we needed to ask for special requests to be added onto our project, the Duarte team were very receptive and always followed through with estimates, advice and recommendations. Our home is now aesthetically beautiful but most importantly, very functional! Thank you Ramon, Ryan and Camie for bringing our family's 100+ year home back to life and it was a pleasure to work with you when our family faced such a tragic event! In the end, you turned our faces from tears into all smiles! Sincerely, Jones Family read more

Duarte Construction is truly a 10-star company in every sense. After an unfortunate incident caused major damage to my rental unit, they stepped in with care, professionalism, and expertise that far exceeded my expectations. They worked directly with my insurance provider, making the process much less stressful for me, and approached the entire project with a thoughtful, personalized touch. Not only did they restore the unit--they made it even better than before. The team was consistently helpful, resourceful, and highly skilled. Their network of specialty trades ensured that every aspect of the repair was handled with precision and quality. I'm especially grateful that they graciously accommodated a few additional repairs that weren't covered by insurance, helping me make the most of a tough situation. To my surprise, they even offered a bit of extra help--at no charge--which speaks volumes about their integrity and commitment to service. In my book, Duarte Construction goes far beyond five stars. I'm deeply thankful for their support and would recommend them without hesitation. read more

We can't say enough to compliment the Duarte team. In April 2019, our world was turned upside down when we had a house fire and needed to have our house rebuilt. From the start, everyone was so helpful. Mike, Ashley, Jason, Camie and the entire Duarte crew worked diligently to rebuild our home beautifully. They answered all our questions and helped us through a very difficult process. Mike was there from the beginning with great information and advice. Ashley was so supportive and was helpful with each issue that came up. Jason has wonderful attention to detail that we greatly appreciated. He did so much to ensure that our home was done just how we wanted and completion dates were kept. Camie had the design eye that we needed to help pull everything together. They worked with us and our insurance company to stay within our budget. The Duarte team was truly amazing and helped us get through a very difficult time. We are so happy to be back in our beautiful home. We recommend Duarte Construction to anyone looking for fire restoration. David and Joni Browne Citrus Heights read more

About 30 years ago, we decided to have a foundation put under our two-story 1890 Victorian home. We hired Duarte Construction to do the job. It took several weeks and men to dig it all out by hand. Then they poured the concrete while on their knees. Not one crack in the lath and plaster. It was an amazing job! So last year when our rental cottage burned to the ground, it only made sense to hire Duarte for the rebuild. Our first contacts were Damon Conn, Marketing; Mike Baxter, estimator; Lance Harrison, President; Camie Kern, designer - all respectful and sensitive to our loss. Ultimately, we worked with Jason Roberts, project manager and his professional and thorough subs for the completion of the rebuild. Jason always brought his happy attitude and perfectionism to the work site. Of course, there were many other Duarte employees involved and it was a delight to work with each one of them. Obviously, we would highly recommend Duarte Construction. They are honest, knowledgeable and reliable. We are, indeed, grateful for our new rental cottage. read more

We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our house that got damaged by a house fire. Not knowing what to expect or what steps to take, we put our full trust in Duarte Construction, and they really helped us along the way. Ryan H. was our PM. He's patient, professional and easy to talk to. He's very knowledgeable and informed us on a lot of the new county code enforcements, which we appreciate. Even when he's got dozens of other projects going on, he made sure to keep us updated with what is happening at the house. We honestly did not think our house would be ready by the estimated time, especially with COVID and everything else happening, but Ryan and the team delivered. It just shows how hard-working and dedicated they are to their customers, and that means a lot. I want to mention how much I love the new kitchen (shout out to Chad for the lovely cabinets and bathroom vanity). We would definitely use Duarte Construction again, but hopefully under a different circumstance. Thank you, JK - North Highlands read more

We lost everything in a house fire in November 2019. Thank goodness we chose Duarte Construction in Loomis for our rebuild! Our house is in Rocklin and with my husband being self employed, we wanted to pick a company that would support local business. Best decision ever! Every member of our team was wonderful to work with. Special shout out to Ramon, Camie and Billy for being so amazing. Also, Chad who worked on our cabinets did outstanding work. They really listened to our ideas and were honest about what changes would work and what wouldn't. There were so many decisions to make, but we felt guided through the entire process. They encouraged us to reach out if we had questions, and I can't tell you how many times we called them for advice or even for reassurance that we were making the right decisions on everything from structural changes to paint colors. Duarte Construction came through for us during a devastating life event and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone! read more

Duarte Construction is the best! During winter storms, a massive eucalyptus tree fell on our large (2,000 square feet) barn, destroying over a third of it. Though perhaps barn repair is not their most common project, Duarte was amazing. From beginning to end, they exceeded expectations. At the start of the project, Derrick worked with our insurance adjuster so that we received the funds needed to complete the repair. And then, after obtaining the permits, they completed the job in just two weeks. We were expecting it to take much longer. From demolition, to delivery of materials, to scheduling, to completion of the repairs -- all work flowed seamlessly. Jason saw to every detail and we did not have to worry about anything. We so appreciate Jason and everyone at Duarte for their diligence, wonderful communication, professionalism, and meticulous work. Our barn is beautiful! Thank you Duarte Construction. read more
