We were extremely pleased with the workmanship of the cabinets. He and Justin were very easy to work with and had many great ideas in our process. Small details like creating a spice drawer under our cooktop is an example of the extra touch that makes the kitchen complete. We especially love our soft close cabinets and brand new drawers. His painters and cabinet workers were on time, courteous and always cleaned up after the days work. The finish product exceeding our expectations. We would recommend him highly and have already recommended him to several of our friends who are considering any type of remodel. Looking back at our pictures we cannot believe we did not do this sooner!

Dave and his crew, shout out to Angel, remodeled our 1966 bathroom with custom made cabinets, new wall texture, new paint and new tile, sinks, fixtures... everything! It looks beautiful. We, believe it or not, enjoyed having the guys here working for a few months. Angel was our main worker and what a professional! He truly knows how to do everything and does it well! After the bathroom was finished, they tore out the tile in our entry way and replaced it with hardwood floors. Then they took out ( ripped out/demolished) our flagstone fireplace surround and replaced that with a marble surround. They did a great job on everything and brought us into the 21st century! I am thinking of another project so I can have them back! I highly recommend Dave Fontan and his crew.

I hired Jason Smith (aka Black Oak Construction) in October 2016 to work on my house in Oakland…read morewhich needed a new foundation and some work on the interior. I had the single most unprofessional experience working with him and one of his two subcontractors that I have heard of anyone having with a contractor. A job that, according to Jason's own paper contract, was supposed to take 4-6 weeks, ending December 7th 2016, dragged on until February 24th 2017 when I fired him. It was a rainy winter and he started calling his men off the job sometime in mid December because of too much rain, and I, trying to be understanding, allowed it for a few weeks, even though they were already way past schedule before the rain started. But when at the end of December I mentioned the interior still had not been finished and that I didn't understand why his men couldn't work on that if it's raining, he left me an angry voicemail and came up with excuse after excuse, and finally, in early January, rallied his men to put in 3 solid days of work on the interior. They didn't finish, but he had already moved them on to other contracts and didn't have time, one subcontractor kept saying so the few times he'd show up in the week to put in an hour or two at my place, he would often leave abruptly saying he has other jobs to go to. This is after being 2.5 months late on finishing the job I had hired them to do, they behaved like they were doing me a favor by coming once a week, even though I had paid for the entire job at that point, and I found myself begging 50-something year-old men to show up and do their work. It was demoralizing, disgusting, and unprofessional, and Jason was the only one my complaints went through so he is entirely responsible for how the situation was handled. He treated me like a little girl who didn't know any better and so he could make up excuses and reasons I was wrong not to expect things to be finished. I paid fully for a job that was 300% late in the end, and never finished, and which he refused to partially refund me on when I fired him. His guys eventually had done most of the work, which is why I had paid, but I fired them after I finally got the permit through the city for my new foundation in hand February, because I felt I could safely break ties with his circus at that point without having to hire someone else and start over trying to communicate with the city inspector. I have heard several stories from my friends about dealing with shady contractors but even they were shocked by how blatantly disrespectful Jason Smith was of my time and money, and how openly he lied about prioritizing other, newer contracts when he was beyond late on mine. This guy has no business running a construction "company" and I would caution anyone considering working with him to run the other way. During this whole ordeal I became aware of other customers who were unhappy with his work and with whom he'd had to settle with out of court, and I came to understand that I should have fired him in late November when it became clear he was egregiously late, instead of trying to help him get back on schedule by ordering materials myself. This was my first time dealing with contractors and I will never again, after dealing with Jason Smith. My house was far from a fixer upper for Oakland standards, and yet I lived with their unprofessional mess and trash for 4.5 months and was expected to not ask questions about why nobody was showing up. The only positive thing about the entire experience was one subcontractor, Daniel, who showed up and finished his work and did a great job on the foundation, and, as far as I know, never ran off to other jobs before completing his work.

I had multiple projects with Vahids team and never had to go back and ask them to redo something.

I wish I could give 10 stars for Shaddle Construction's work on our master bathroom addition…read more Working with Shaddle Construction was like night and day in comparison to the original contractor we hired who did a horrible job. Shaddle's level of workmanship, attention to our needs, and old-fashioned customer first attitude was clear from the start. The honesty and professionalism of John Shaddle, his subcontractors and his crew were evident in every interaction we had with them. It took us almost a year to find Shaddle Construction after the debacle of the prior contractor, but it was worth the wait. John and his subcontractors figured out how to correct the innumerable errors in workmanship in the bathroom interior and the exterior stucco. The shower needed to be completely demolished and redone. Subcontractor Chris Field meticulously made sure the floor slope was correct, the walls were plumb and painstakingly measured and rechecked his measurements before cutting each tile. Chris used a laser beam and a level to check each tile he installed to make sure the tiles were even. He was patient, professional, exacting and a joy to work with. The resulting installation is absolutely beautiful. Subcontractor Armando, of Armando Plastering, fixed the exterior stucco. He is an artist who managed to match exactly the style of the original 80-year-old stucco. The crew made sure that our house was protected from any dust and debris, cleaned up daily and were respectful of our house and us. We love our new bathroom and are so grateful to Shaddle Construction for making our dream finally come to reality. Our faith in people and contractors was restored. Thank you, John!
