Not sure what the other reviewers are talking about in terms of responsiveness. I wrote an email to Jason via the email address on his website with a list of projects we are considering. It's been a week, and we've received no response--no phone call, no email, not even a "sorry, we don't/can't do that." read more

What can I say... I had a nightmare situation involving black mold and Jason solved it beautifully! I live in a basement apartment that had some serious water seepage issues. When he showed up I had water on my floor and drywall as wet and soggy as old cardboard left out in the rain, and of course evil black mold. I've been sick from black mold before so I was terrified of what was going on with my poor apartment. But Jason came in and safely removed all the mold. Not once did I have any feelings of mold sickness. He also fixed all the water seepage problems with the foundation and re-drywalled the areas that need it. Not only did Jason fix all my problems and prevent me from getting sick, he also left my place in better condition than he found it! My apartment is now dry and gorgeous! Oh, I also want to mention that after having him do several home repairs and shopping around I know I'm getting a great deal with reliable service from him. It's actually gotten to the point that I don't even bother getting other peoples estimates anymore because I know Jason's always gonna give me a fair price for outstanding work. read more

We had a terrible experience with this company. They provided us with a quote but it was not for the work that we had requested. When we raised this, they blamed us. A waste of time and frustrating. read more

It's been a few months now, and I'm chastising myself for leaving it so long, to shout from the rooftops about just how spectacular the service we recieved from Jason and crew was! Seriously. We had an awful invasive smell of mildew coming from the bathroom. Just in the nick of time, we stopped ourselves from going with 'mold expert teams', whose suggestions looked more and more like overkill (that might not kill anything 'mold-wise'!). Jason's patient one step at a time approach absolutely took care of it, and with a lot less trouble and money involved. In addition just having Jason and his team in our house was a pleasure. The level of honesty and integrity was as good as it gets. I feel so grateful that this company exists. Seriously. And my wife does too! read more

Jason and his team have done a number of jobs on my mid-century Oakland home, including sheetrock repair, refinishing of wood paneling, electrical, painting, repairing an ornamental fountain pump, among other things. They took care of a wide variety of repairs, of different types and magnitudes, always with the care and attention to detail of true craftsmen. They are always prompt and professional, and clean up completely when they're done. And Jason's prices are reasonable. I give Home Healing Renovations my highest endorsement. read more

Can't say enough good about my experience with everyone! The work was done on time, professionally and beautifully. I will definitely call them again as needed. read more

We had been talking for years about redoing our bathroom and kitchen, but were always afraid of the price and the impact it would have on our live. We finally caved and decided to go for it, in addition to replacing almost every single window in our home too. As soon as we met Jason we knew that he was an honest guy, and a hard worker. We still met with (many) more contractors just to be sure, but each time we met with another builder, we kept thinking back to Home Healing Renovations' bid, and how our gut instinct was telling us that Jason was the guy. Throughout the whole process, he has been available, quick to respond, and very attentive to our needs. Halfway through the process, the crew discovered a huge amount of dry-rot in our exterior wall that had to be addressed, and we felt that Jason was incredibly fair and compromising to ensure that we got a solid job done. We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen, bathroom, and windows, and feel that we found our builder for the area. We're definitely calling Home Healing Renovations for our next project! read more

Jason was very professional and straightforward in the esitmation and proposal stage, and his team delivered great work on several roof and exterior repair work areas. His team was respectful, and timely. And his prices were very reasonable. I would highly recommend him and his team. Mike E read more

As soon as I read these fabulous reviews, from work, I sent an email to Jason with what was going on at our house. Basically, last weekend, my cousin was over admiring our new house [cuz we just moved here in November] when he noticed a bubble in the ceiling and some water spots. Right below the shower stall where, just an hour before, I was taking a shower and had run some water rinsing out the stall to clean it. But as soon as I saw that there was a lack of caulking, and that a small hole was apparent, did I realize where the seepage originated. I immediately got on Yelp and started looking for General contractors, and I found one, NOT JASON, who received stellar review and called left a message. And there was no response from that. Then on Monday morning, after calling my first contact back and getting voicemail, I realized I had to continue looking. Thus, I found Home Healing Renovations, and I hadn't even finished reading the third review, and my gut instinct told me to contact. So I wrote an email, from work, sent it, and in less than 30 minutes I got a response BY PHONE. And he came out on the next available time that I could arrange from my schedule. After a brief walk thru, he was able to surface a "quick fix" for the short term, then go on from there with pointers on the final solution. This would take three stages, but he quoted me a price [I had a budget, which he stayed within], and got it fixed same day, and I was able to take a shower the next morning. I have to say, I felt taken care of. THis is a review that probably is not over yet ---- work in progress .... but nab him, if you need something done. He'll honestly share his experience, and offer some much needed relief from my anxiety ... for sure! And he's a quick turnaround --- and "service to others" is the name of the game for him. YOU WON'T GO WRONG!!!!!! read more

So this will probably be a review in progress. I called him a year ago to fix a simple grout problem in my shower. I had called around but other businesses had refused to send someone out because it was "too small of a problem". However, he sent someone out and had done so because that was his way of building his customer base. The guy that he sent out was courteous, fun to talk to, and made sure that the all old grout, bacteria, and all the icky stuff was gone before he put in the new grout. The job took a little bit longer, but he didn't charge anything extra. I called him recently to do some remodeling around the house. Jason has been so flexible in terms of changing the terms of what we're going to do and because I have a HOA, was very open to working within their timeline and restrictions. He's very open and willing to work with you on price and I trust that he will do a very good job, just like he did with the grout in my shower. Will update as soon as my job is finished. Highly recommend! Everyone should be as decent, honest, and hardworking as he is. Update: 02/15/12 They have just finished the work. Everything was done within the deadline that was set. (There was a little delay due to rain, but they promptly sent someone out the next day to finish the work). After the work ended, someone always walked through the site with me to make sure that everything was satisfactory. I had pointed out something towards the end of the job (something extremely minor), they made sure everything was done correctly the next day. It's been a true pleasure to work with them. I was in constant communication with everyone and the Julien and Saundra were calling me to update me on the progress. The garden turned out beautifully and they took painstaking care to make sure that the stones laid out beautifully so that not only was the job done, but it was done professionally and very pleasing to the eye. Everyone was very accommodating. They had brought in multiple runners to lay down on my carpets since i had just got them cleaned (new runners too!) and they limited the number of people that were in and out of the house. The electrician was great and even made sure to wipe down the cabinets and surrounding fixtures before installing the range because he wanted to make sure there was no dust left over. Will definitely call them for my next project :) Highly highly recommend. You can't go wrong with them!! read more

Recently, Home Healing Renovations repaired a long exterior window sill for me, returning it to its original profile, including priming and painting it, and also painted the rest of the trim around the window for me. Jason was able to schedule the repair so it was completed before there could be a change in the weather. His crew of three arrived on time, they were easy to talk to, very professional and very willing to answer my questions. The crew members worked well together and the repair was finished quicker than expected. They left the work area as clean as it was when they arrived. I am pleased with the result and my experience with Home Healing Renovations. Jason was easy to work with, responsive by email or phone. Staff in the office as well was very receptive and helpful when I called with any questions. read more

Jason major foundation work for the property that I rent. He worked with us on all the scheduling re: access and the floor sure feels secure now! His workers were all very polite as well. Great job, great communicator. read more

These people are amazing! Very professional. Because of the hard work and going above and beyond, we were able to get the quote we needed and get our property sold. Alexis is the best! Highly recommend this company. read more

Jason and his crew did it again! I had begun a kitchen renovation and took it to the point I could, and they came in and saved the day beautifully. I was so amazed at the quality of their workmanship and level of pride they took in their work. They really went the extra mile to make sure everything worked and looked great. From finishing the tile work and moldings and trim, to the cabinets and counter top...not to mention the electrical work, painting, rebuilding walls and moving the gas and hook ups to put in a new heater. The kitchen looks amazing...time for a dinner party! read more

Jason is awesome. He is accountable and has very high integrity. He will work with you inside of your budget, and do very high quality work. read more

Jason and the team did a wonderful job on rehabbing the back room of our house. This area was likely added to our 1909 house in the 1930s. It had a decrepit bathroom, failed ceiling, terrible floor, poor structural strength, old holes in the walls from old pipes, etc. They gutted it, brought it up to earthquake and other codes, created internal and exterior finishes (window frames, siding, picture rail, painting, etc) to match the historic features of the house, and created a beautiful tiled bathroom and pretty laundry / guest room. This was all accomplished very quickly based on our need, without my needing to manage the details (which I would like to but could not in this case). They implemented quick changes when needed (the flooring we thought we were going to order was not available, we needed a Simpson strong wall to support the sliding glass door which required another permit, etc), Like many projects that open up a can of worms (an old addition), the project requirements and price did grow some from the first quote, but that is primarily due to our rush - we had not realized all the existing problems in the walls, etc. I felt like they really cared sincerely about the project coming out perfectly, and they went above and beyond to make that happen, in addition to being both friendly and respectful of our privacy. When there was a surprise rain mid project, they came out immediately to cover it completely. When the cat walked though the wet paint (bad kitty) they repainted it. When we shifted to a hardwood floor they brought in subs to install immediately and without extra charge. The detailing was very well done inside and out, and accomplished within budget. Our friends are amazed at how beautiful it looks and how quickly the work was completed! Highly recommended. read more

I contacted several contractors to get bids to create a living space in our basement. Home Healing came in at a lower bid and with good reviews we decided to go with them. They did some extensive work digging out our basement, lowering the walkway, retaining wall work and most of the interior finishing. The crew was great, friendly and approachable. Jason, the owner was really good in terms of communication. We met once a week on the progress of the work. Whenever we had a question or something that needed fixing he always got back to us right away and took care of any issues. For that reason i would use them again. We felt like we could trust Jason to take care of things and make sure in the end that they were done right. read more

My husband and I hired Home Healing Renovations to do two jobs for us. The first was to replace the doors in the bedrooms of our Oakland bungalow. As anyone from the Bay Area knows, those turn of the century bungalows have a lot of character, but after many decades, the interiors get beat up, and our interior doors needed replacing. They did a great job with that. After experiencing them with that project, they were the top candidate in a larger project to replace the siding in the rear of the house. We were experiencing serious leaks through the rear siding of our house at the windows and through the siding at the basement level. The project to replace the siding and to stop the leaks included putting up scaffolding, ripping out the old siding, adding flashing to the windows and to where the base of the rear-side of the house met the concrete patio and sidewalk, putting up new paper underneath the siding, putting up new siding, installing new ventilation for the kitchen, painting the whole thing, including detailed painting of the gutters and other exterior fixtures, and then cleaning up afterward. It was a pleasure to work with Jason and his crew. They were very communicative with me, and patiently answered all my many, many questions and concerns, and they got the job done on time and within my budget. We selected HHR after getting 7 other bids. Most were higher and only one was lower--we were interested in the cheap bid but that contractor didn't return our calls and emails and his suggested fixes seemed, well, cheap. You get what you pay for. This is the Bay Area, so house are crazy expensive and construction work ain't cheap either. As new-ish home owners we learned a lot about the market for contractors. We even hired an inspector to go over HHR's work plan for our project. After getting a thumbs up from the contractor, we contracted with HHR to get the job done. You can trust Jason and his team. His work crew was always on time and polite and professional. I highly recommend HHR for your home improvement or repair project. If you click on my profile, you'll see a picture of the completed project. read more

Worked with Jason and HHR for a major project at my house. They installed a french drain, rebuilt my concrete stairs, installed/shored up framing & a support beam, installed flooring and drywall, installed external siding/sheeting/waterproofing, reset some windows, upgraded a bathroom, and painted extensively - they basically made the house bulletproof. Jason and his team are professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and always work to find the right solution. I'm a very picky person, and Jason was very open to hearing any of my concerns and addressing any issues. The project was just completed in June of 2020, and the HHR team was diligent to follow the COVID protocol. I never felt concerned even though I was in the same house. They always wore masks and even put up two plastic sheets at different points to help seal any work areas off. I also left a key with them when I wasn't available to be home, and I never felt like there was a security concern. Would definitely recommend HHR. read more

My husband and I worked with Home Healing Renovations in early spring 2019. I had contacted them after having a termite inspection (by another contractor) of our 1928-built home that we've lived in for 47 years. Their work included installing 5 new fixed bay windows, replacing wood siding, trim and a ledger board, replacing the decking and remedying some water leakage into our basement. Jason and his crew were excellent to work with, didn't bat an eye when we made a few changes from the original contract, were immediately responsive to fixing some minor items after we did the walk-through and did an excellent job. I enjoyed working with Jason and his foreman since they had creative ideas and were willing to brainstorm solutions with us, particularly when it came to the detecting and repairing the basement leak. His crew was prompt, efficient, kind and respectful about working in a neighborhood (no loud music or mess) and seemed to work together well. I would definitely hire them again. read more

Home Healing did an amazing job on a complete renovation of the house my father had lived in for many years. It turned into a huge job. They redid the foundation, retrofitting it for earthquakes, took out a wall to open it up, totally rewired it, replaced some of the roof, put in a completely new bathroom and kitchen among other things too many to mention. We knew it all needed to be done and when there were new things discovered they explained it all and worked with us to make choices to keep costs down. The workman were a pleasure to have around and helped make the process much more livable. My husband and I would recommend them to anyone needing work done. The work was all high quality and any small issues we discovered were immediately dealt with, even the punch list got done in a reasonable time. Nice people and high quality work, what more can you ask for. read more

We worked with HHR/Jason in early 2015 to redesign and remodel our 2nd floor (originally 2 bedrooms 1 bath into 2 bedrooms 2 bath). Being our first stab at home renovation, it was a great experience. The business side is professional -- super responsive, detailed quotes and change orders, permits, invoicing, etc. The design and workmanship is solid. Our design was challenging (maximizing very limited space but keeping it functional). They did a great job working with us through several designs. The final space feels great and surprisingly spacious. Most of the second floor was taken down to studs. We built two bathrooms and re-did a bedroom from scratch, plus we tacked on various smaller upgrades throughout the house (electrical, roof, and chimney work). The crews we worked with were all great guys; they kept our home livable and clean each day. On a few occasions, folks came on a weekend to get things done. Being a larger project, this did require a lot of time as home owners, communicating back and forth with Jason about the work/contract sometimes. But, we expected that and Jason was always very responsive. Most importantly, we are very happy with the results. Even afterwards, when a pocket door got stuck (likely wood expansion), Jason sent someone to fix it. Now, a year later, the work has still held up. We will definitely call on Jason again for future projects. read more

My house was a bit "sick" and needed some healing. I really depended on Jason to handle a lot of small jobs last year on an emergency basis. ( eg. mold remediation, drywall, plumbing, bath fan) Seems to me like Jason can handle just about anything around the house. It was great to be able to really depend on him to take care of everything, to do it carefully and according to my special needs. read more

As a first-time homebuyer, I was already very nervous about life in general in September 2009, and even more so as I ventured into the world of home renovation. Jason was great about answering way too many questions as I figured out what to do about the repairs my new home needed. He replaced the flooring in the kitchen, laundry room and bathroom, repaired water damage in the bathroom, and completely replaced the roof on the house & garage. I loved hearing the rain on the roof all winter, knowing that it wasn't leaking anywhere! I recommend him highly. read more

We have hired Jason to do two separate jobs for us in our 100 year old house and he and his guys did a fantastic job!! Both jobs entailed taking down a plaster ceiling, finding a water leak, fixing that and then fixing the damage. His crew was fast, neat and did a flawless job with the finished texture on the ceilings. We agree with the other reviews -- he works within your budget and does high quality work. He and his crew were pleasant , professional, and really really conscientious and neat with regards to our home. I will definitely continue calling him for future repairs! read more

We recently hired Home Healing Renovations to rebuild our back deck. It was a complex job, as part of the deck is three stories high and had settled over time. I solicited bids from four different contractors. The bid from Home Healing was not the lowest bid, nor was it the highest. However, it was the most thorough and detailed explanation of the work to be done. Plus, Jason and his team responded in a timely fashion to my questions and concerns, something I did not get from other contractors. Once the work started, it was finished on time and on budget. The guys working on the project were thorough, professional and considerate. Jason set up a weekly meeting with us to make sure we understood how the work was proceeding and to answer any questions we had as the work progressed. I was very happy with the quality of their work and wouldn't hesitate to reach out to them again for future projects. read more

We called a bunch of contractors for a room addition and bathroom relocation. Jason promptly called us back and met with us for an estimate which literally no other contractor at the time did. He was great to chat with and was very honest about code ,ethics and the general scope of the project. We were told that when the project started it should be about three months to complete and when we paid the final invoice it was 3 months and a day after the start of the project , that included all inspections. The crew at HHR was very professional, prompt and courteous and answered any questions we had in ways that we could understand. I was happy to see that we didn't run into the problems that a lot of friends said happened to them with contractors like overpricing, not showing up on time or making huge messes. We had weekly meetings with Jason and Briannah (project manager) and really felt like we were being heard on what we wanted done and the reality of what could be done within our budget . I would recommend HHR to anyone looking for a contractor in the east bay . read more
