Dan from GeoForensics has been the geotechnical (soil) engineer for two of my homes. He produced a…read morethorough report for the first home in the North Shoreview area, where the foundations of many homes are settling and sinking. He recently helped me design a drainage solution for my current home after our basement flooded. Dan is very, very thorough. He took the time to educate me on how the construction is typically done for homes built in the 1950s and 1960s. Then he presented multiple options for waterproofing the home, giving me a variety of choices and price points. Once we got started with the construction, he came back and gave a ton of implementation details that were very helpful. His work was instrumental in helping me to get a permit from the City for the work. He educated me on multiple details, which enabled me to speak intelligently with the city engineers, resulting in a design that was approved by the City in just 1 day (the counter staff said the designs are usually approved in 2-3 weeks!). Dan was also very responsive. I had a very tight schedule and he made himself very available and accessible. I'm very happy with his work and got great value working with Dan!

My experience with GeoForensics was not great. We were pouring concrete next to our house, and Dan…read moreDykeman came out to to do an estimate. He quoted me over $5,000 to do the soil analysis; I said no-thank-you to that, and we both went our separate ways. Then several months later, I got a bill from him! I called GeoForensics immediately and told the receptionist that I never hired him: no written contract or verbal agreement. I politely left my number and asked Dan to call me back; he never did. Then A YEAR later, he sent me another (outstanding) bill! I called again and spoke with the receptionist. I again politely left my number and asked Dan to call me back; he never did. So I called a third time to follow up on this, and the receptionist finally said they will remove the charges. During this entire time, I never spoke with Dan the man himself, who initiated all those charges. Then Dan sent a letter to the City's Building department complaining that there was "theft of intellectual property." I can understand how he is upset because he misunderstood, but I would have at least expected to have a mature conversation with him. This entire experience just made him look like a jerky little kid acting out because of something that was actually his fault. Based on this, I would not recommend him to anyone who needs soil engineering needs. 1 star off: poor communication 1 star off: poor customer service 1 star off: poor accounting 1 star off: not so poor engineer if he is charging $5,000 to analyze a soil sample...

TL:DR; Will misled us into paying upfront for much of the work that he either didn't complete at…read moreall or did poorly/not up to code. When confronted, he agreed to give us our money back but has failed to make the full payment after 9 months. He also forged our signature to pull permits because he doesn't hold a license himself. We hired Will (aka Wisal) in October 2024 for a fairly large home project, and it was an absolute nightmare. The ordeal he put us through was an extremely emotionally taxing experience for our family. On top of that, he had not honored the refund agreement for the poor and incomplete work. We are now out of the money he still owes us, and we had to find another contractor to correct the terrible work he and his "team" did. Here were the main issues that led us to fire him from our project: 1. Forged Signature: We discovered that Will pulled permits under my name without permission by forging my signature on the paperwork, which he initially told us was pulled under his company's name. 2. Suspicious Electrical Work: Before the scheduled electrical inspection, Will had his team patch up the walls, which would make it impossible to inspect the wires. We found this suspicious, so we asked 4 separate electricians to take a look. Without being able to see behind the walls, they all saw that the work was not up to code. 3. Unnecessary Electrical Upgrade: We told Will we only wanted to rewire the house and to pull the permits. He told us we're required to upgrade our electrical panel. This caused a 3-month delay as we waited for PG&E to do the work. When PG&E responded to us, they told us we actually didn't need the upgrade. We suspect this was Will's attempt to charge us for unnecessary work. 4. Pressured To Pay Upfront: He pressured us to pay upfront for fees associated with the PG&E work (e.g. trenching fees, paving fees, etc). In California, you only need to make a downpayment of up to 10% or $1000 of the total contract price, whichever is less 5. Overpaid PG&E Fees: Will charged us $3,500 for PG&E's engineering advance. We asked PG&E about the charge and were told it was only $2,500. 6. Inconsistent Team: His "team" changed all the time. Will also did not seem to know when his team would work on our house. It was only when we checked and saw that either minimal or no work was done that he would then call his team to ask why they didn't show up. 7. Constant Delays: Will would promise us work would be done by a certain time (e.g. end of the week), but those deadlines were rarely met. For example, he told us the week of February 18th that interior painting and tiling work would be completed by the end of the week. By the time we fired him on the last week of March, that work was still not done. 8. Unprofessional Work: For basic jobs like painting, his team did not cover our floors. We now have paint splatters, scratches, and drywall residue all over our floors and cabinets. After all these issues, we fired Will and demanded a refund, which he agreed to pay on a 7-week schedule. That was back in April of 2025. It's January 2026, and he still has yet to pay us back fully. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs. P.S. If none of the above points convince you to stay away from this business, run some of the 5-star reviews through an AI detector. Many of them won't pass. I wouldn't trust a business with fake reviews. Would you?

Ah, the joys of homeownership. You think you're just fixing a little leak, and next thing you know,…read moreyou're starring in your own personal horror story--except instead of ghosts, it's a scammy contractor, a roof full of holes, and a rapidly draining bank account. Let me take you back to December 2024. After some heavy rains, we noticed a leak in our living room. Enter Will of Biohazmat (license #957784), who came in like a savior in a time of disaster. We were in a bit of a time crunch, planning to leave for a three-week holiday trip, and let's be real--it does rain in SF in December. Will assured us he'd take care of everything. Roof? Fixed. Ceiling? Restored. Peace of mind? Oh, how naive I was. Red Flag #1: The Mysterious Bathroom Leak One of the first things Will did was open up the ceiling--toward the upstairs bathroom. Now, I had explained, multiple times, that the leak happened after rain. Yes, there had been a small issue last winter, but it was clearly a rain-related problem. Still, Will was on a fishing expedition, hoping to uncover a more "profitable" issue. He eventually convinced me the entire roof needed replacing. I wasn't entirely sure, but hey, the roof was old. Maybe it was time? Spoiler: It was not time. It was a terrible decision. Red Flag #2: The Roofer Who Hates His Job The very next day, a roofer showed up to apply a temporary patch. He was barely inside when he launched into a rant about how Will had been delaying his payments for weeks and how he was planning to quit and work on his own. Now, a contractor's own workers bad-mouthing him before work even starts? That's a neon sign flashing "run" in bright red letters. But between holiday prep and wishful thinking, I convinced myself it would be fine. It was not fine. Red Flag #3: The Disappearing Act We left for the holidays. Will started work in January. I had set up cameras to monitor progress. It was a different roofer - I guess the first one has already quit. Three days before we returned, Will declared the job was done and demanded full payment. I got a few blurry, low-resolution pictures (classic), but on my cameras, I could still see workers moving around. Assuming they were just wrapping up (bad assumption), I wired the money. Terrible. Idea. The Disaster Unfolds Upon returning, I did what any responsible homeowner would do--I climbed up to inspect the work. Oh. My. God. Where do I even begin? Even without being a roofing expert, I could tell this was a train wreck. There were literal holes in my brand-new roof. You know, the thing meant to keep water out. I had a contractor neighbor take a look. Then, I brought in a few proper roofers. They all independently painted the same picture: total incompetence. Some highlights from my roof's tragic new look: The roofing material wasn't properly heat-sealed, meaning large sections could be peeled off by hand. Other parts were over-torched, melting the material and making it brittle. The seals around pipes? Instead of using proper metal flashings and sealants (as is standard), they smeared on some mystery black goo. Around chimneys and walls, instead of applying material properly, they just stuck it on without capping--essentially creating pockets for water collection. Drainage system? Not sealed at all. As if they just assumed water would avoid those spots out of respect. At this point, my frustration had reached Olympic levels. Red Flag #4: Will's "Fix" Was Even Worse I confronted Will, who eventually agreed to send someone to "fix" things. Enter Victor Hernandez, a supposed "partner" of Will's. I asked if he was licensed. Will assured me he was. Victor assured me he was. Fast forward through some back and forth, Victor himself admitted the roof was beyond repair (shocker). So, naturally, Will's solution was... to have Victor re-roof it. Because clearly, the guy whose company just butchered my roof was the right person for a do-over. When I asked what system they'd be using, it was total confusion. They claimed they'd heat-glue the roof but showed me materials meant for cold application. These guys didn't even understand the product they were using. So I asked for Victor's credentials. Nothing. No response. So I did my own digging. Guess what? Victor's license (#1071828) was suspended. He had no roofing license. His general contractor license was revoked due to a lawsuit. I confronted Will. After some discussion, he agreed to pay me back and part ways. Guess what? That didn't happen either as of now. And Then It Got Even Worse... It's been four weeks since that agreement. I'm still owed $9000. No payments. And just when I thought it couldn't get worse--it got worse. Before I had the chance to redo the roof, one of the drainages (the ones they didn't bother to seal) leaked and flooded my baby's room. So let's recap: Replaced a roof that probably didn't need replacing. Got scammed out of $9000. Ended up with more damage than when I started. Flooded my kid's room.

I am the service manager for a property management company. I started using Elite about 1.5 years…read moreago. I consider them a "go to" vendor. In my position, I need the rare combination of extremely competitive pricing, exemplary communication, follow-through, craftsmanship, and professionalism. Elite delivers the full package. Elite also brings an incredibly valuable marriage of handyman and contractor work. In California, unlicensed contractors (i.e., handymen) cannot do a project where the value in labor *and* materials exceed $1,000 (increased in 2025 from $600). Elite has positioned themselves to fill both ends of the spectrum by offering exceptionally competitive handyman rates for handyman work, while still being able to do the larger projects that end up exceeding the $1,000 limit and thus require a contractor's license. What that means to everyone from property management companies to homeowners is that you are working with a licensed and bonded company which offers you the necessary protections should things go wrong (I have never had an issue with Elite, but in my role as a fiduciary, it is critical that our property owners are always protected). I receive unsolicited reports from tenants after Elite completes projects to praise their professionalism, cleanliness, respectful and pleasant demeanors, efficiency, and quality of their work. Tenants aren't usually so ebullient with our contractors, but Elite is the exception. I can wholeheartedly recommend Elite for everything from plumbing and electrical work to substantial remodels, having seen first hand their ability to properly and economically perform everything I have sent their way.

First, the counters are large (the island is about 13' x 5') and required seams in obvious places. Second, we wanted to match an earlier, somewhat unusual edge profile.

The bookmatch on the island is beautifully done; most visitors assume it's all one piece, because the long seam in the middle is so well crafted. Manuel also created a sample of the edge profile and brought it to the house to make sure it achieved the correct look.
