I met with Fermo's representative in Napa so Fermo could view our project and provide a quote for…read morewidening our RV slab. Since our RV is heavy (a large diesel pusher) we agreed to use 6" slab on 3" of compacted rock for our 4' x 30' pad widening project. We discussed everything including re-bar reinforcement and dirt disposal. The quote was competitive and the exchange amicable so after consideration I called back a few minutes later and we agreed on a day to start. Later the day of site visit I received an email from our contact indicating he had quoted incorrectly figuring for 4" thick slab on 2" compacted road base and switched to a different, MUCH HIGHER price for the 6" slab (and now changed 2" compacted base)....$1350 HIGHER than original quote (40% higher). When I emailed back 2x to ask our contact to honor his bid or comment further but we received no response. Quick communication up until the changed price didn't go over too well. While I can't comment on the quality of work I would say it's not professional to quote a price then withdraw it entirely. I get it. People make mistakes, and I can see coming to some sort of solution, but to just change the price higher after agreeing on a lower price and agreeing to a start date...then to go silent...when I didn't just take it large, not so cool.

After we discussed my plans and envisions regarding the job, he made it very clear that he was a reputable specialist in concrete. He designed my patio, driveway, and the job came out amazing.

The price was competitive and fair for the excellent work. I highly recommend and will use them again!

From my first conversation with Alex Peraza, I was impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and…read moreattentiveness. He listened carefully, offered thoughtful recommendations based on my home and priorities, and provided a detailed proposal that reflected our discussions. This gave me the confidence to keep Peraza Construction at the top of my list during the bidding process and ultimately select Alex and his team. One of the things I appreciate most about Alex is his communication. He is clear, responsive, and consistent, ensuring everyone understands the scope, timeline, and costs. The project is well documented and stays on track. If I decide to refine an aspect of the project, Alex explains any impact on cost or timing, allowing me to make an informed decision while keeping the work moving forward. His crew is equally impressive--punctual, skilled, respectful, and committed to quality. They follow the agreed-upon schedule, and Alex promptly communicates anything that may affect it. His regular check-ins have kept me informed and confident throughout the project. I am incredibly happy with the improvements and how everything turned out. The transformation reflects what I envisioned and has made the space feel much more like my home. Having work done on your home requires a great deal of trust, and Alex and his team have fully earned mine. I cannot imagine trusting anyone else to work on my house and recommend Peraza Construction without hesitation.

What a surprise! Renovating and building doesn't have to be stressful. We actually had FUN with…read moreour project, our licensed contractor, and with all the people who did the work. We worked with Arrowtown Construction--707-934-7465. Clayt is the owner-operator of the business, and most likely, he is going to be the person picking up the phone when you call. With Clayt's help, we added a 10' x 14' room to our rental cabin and replaced all fixtures, including a new entry door, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, a wood floor, gas stove, sliding door, and windows. We also replaced the old siding and painted the exterior. We spent a lot of time with Clayt making decisions and problem-solving when issues came up on this older, not-to-code structure. He is calm and so easy to be with. My husband knows quite a bit about construction, and I know very little. Clayt worked with both of us as equals. Right from the start, all the way through to the last small tasks, he was responsive to our questions and what we were trying to do. He is someone who will take the time to explain, is happy to answer all questions, and doesn't make you feel that you should know this stuff. He uses phone, text and e-mail to communicate in a timely fashion. He almost always answers his phone calls on-the-spot and returns texts within minutes. Important to us, Clayt is budget conscious and gave us information and guidance to help us decide when items might contribute to going over budget. The carpenters and workers who Clayt works with were a delight to have on our property. The cabin is on the same property as our home, and I work out of a home-office; so we saw the work and the workers up close as the renovation progressed each day. The workers were highly skilled, hardworking, here on time every day, friendly, and always happy to show us what had been done that day. They kept the work site clean and free from the evitable debris that accumulates on the job. Clayt also knows and has good relationships with local materials suppliers. We talked with many of them, and they too commented about his reliability and pleasant nature. We're at the end of our project now. What had been our funky 340 sq ft 80+ year old cabin, is now a beautiful space with an open kitchen and living room, windows that bring the outdoors inside, a cozy bedroom and a laundry room. The workmanship on the window casings, wood floor, and baseboards is particularly beautiful. We got really good quality work for very reasonable prices. We can't help but think of the nightmares that friends and family have told us about and breathe a big sigh of relief at how pleasant our renovation was for us.

I hired Mark for a medium-sized remodeling project (about 6 weeks) . He provided a low estimate…read morecompared to other bids. He then said that his workers were all covered by Worker's Comp, among other benefits, and that he paid a fair wage, and that he was the most ethical contractor in the industry, resulting in his workers' being highly productive and efficient leading to shorter project times. This sealed the deal for me. Furthermore, he claimed that the extra 30% or so that he was billing for his workers, was due of the worker's comp insurance, which only he provided to his workers (as opposed to the many unscrupulous other contractors that were around). As a property owner, you could be held liable for workers' injuries if the contractor did not carry worker's comp, and so, I agreed to Mark's deal. Within a few days, Mark had exceeded the estimate he had quoted, and was very difficult to get hold of. Furthermore, his workers would come and go at all times of the day (between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm) and I simply lost track of how many "cooks" were in the kitchen. As of last count, I noticed some 15+ names on the invoices, and some would appear for a couple of hours, and then disappear. But Mark would send me invoices claiming that his workers spent the entire day at the property - which was simply untrue. Mark would not be interested in even listening to me or investigating my grievances. Instead, he would brag that he did me a big favor by accepting my project, and that he typically only did multi-million dollar gigs, and not pittances like mine. Long story short, the project budget exceeded the estimate by more than 100%. Mark became extremely aggressive and feisty, and it was impossible to work or reason with him. I hired a Private Investigator to find out who this person really was -- like a Dr. Jekyl Mr. Hyde. Turns out that he had been sued for fraud, but more importantly, the whole worker's comp, fairness, ethical contractor, and so on, charade, was ALL ONE BIG LIE. It also appears that Mark may have left the Better Business Bureau due to bad reviews and that he may have hired a reputation defending company to increase his Yelp reviews to 5 stars by questionable tactics. Good Guy Builders license has been suspended for Worker's Comp violations and is under investigation. After my PI reported this, I found on the CSLB site: "License is under suspension for failure to comply with Workers Comp. A workers´ compensation certificate or exemption statement may have been received by the Board but not yet processed. Once the certificate or exemption statement is processed the suspension will be lifted retroactively to the effective date of the certificate or exemption statement. Ask the contractor for proof of worker's compensation and contact the insurance company to verify coverage." Here is the URL: https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=1016932 Please see image below. This is one of the greatest betrayals where I was charged an arm and a leg, and told a romantic story of workers being taken good care of, and so on, all the while, when Mark was simply pocketing the money that was supposed to cover his workers' safety and well being. Such greed, deception, and dishonesty, in my opinion, does not deserve a second chance. You decide whether you want to hire this company and deal with Mark. --- Addendum to Mr. Santosh R's note: 1. I am a real person. I was threatened by Mark that I would be sued if I posted anything negative on Yelp. 2. Yes, I did edit my posts before finally settling on one. Anyone in my position would do the same. 3. Finally, the facts remain unchanged. Good Guy Builder's license is under suspension and this may be independently verified on the CSLB website (see link). Likewise, the lawsuits against them may be independently verified. People like Santosh and Mark are the real culprits who boost their yelp ratings in a manner that skews it in their favor - by attacking anyone who posts negative reviews, and threatening those in dispute with defamation lawsuits. Do not believe anything Santosh or Mark say. The suspension is more than ample evidence that Good Guy Builders is a crooked business and not one that you should be patronizing.

Every person who walked into my home, has worked with Travis for the last 10 to 20 years. That made me very trusting of who was in my home when I was there and when I wasn't there. It is very challenging to find a trustworthy contractor who is not only good at communicating, but is also very good at their job. Thank you, Travis and team!

We can't believe this is our house! We've had a couple of friends hire him now to do their projects! Travis walked into our patched-together 50 year old house and understood our vision for opening up the floor plan and letting more light in. He worked within our budget to draw up a quote that met our vision, while also recommending items that could easily be isolated and saved for a later project date without having to re-do any of this initial work (like refacing the fireplace, re-doing the back patio). He was patient and helpful through the architect and permitting phase and had great recommendations for local cabinet, tile and plumbing stores that allowed us to get great quality finishes within our budget. Every sub-contractor that he brought in for specialized pieces like our master shower tile, shower glass, flooring and insulation were friendly and did absolutely top of the line work. He is also very clever at figuring out solutions to curveballs that our house threw and could take our crazy Pinterest pictures and piece them together to build custom solutions like the bench in the master shower. Overall our project included a major overhaul and upgrade to our electrical panel / electrical service to the street, major plumbing upgrades, new windows, a master bathroom addition and a complete interior paint/flooring refresh and remodel including a complete kitchen remodel (with removing load bearing walls to create an open concept) and hall bath remodel. Our house of 16 years is now a sturdy, safe home we can spend the next 50 years in - Travis didn't cut any corners and understood that this needs to be our dream home that will last "generations" as he put it. He's an honest guy with old fashioned values and you just won't find a better team to take on your project.
