I called and left a message for Steve at Tri-Valley Construction, (TVC), regarding a defective…read more1/4-turn water supply line valve that needed to be replaced in our laundry room. This involved removing sheetrock, cutting pipes, installing new valves, then replacing the sheetrock, applying plaster and texture, and finally painting. This was way above my pay grade, so I reached out to Steve. Within minutes, he got back to me. He asked for photos and provided an estimate with a range, depending on the complexity of what they found. Steve sent his crew over just a few hours later to begin the project. Victor and Edgar arrived, and within minutes, the Sawzall was going to town on our wall. I'll admit, I had my reservations, but it quickly became clear that these guys knew what they were doing. Each phase required a return visit to allow the individual coats of plaster to dry, etc. Our water was only turned off for about an hour or so during the entire project, and the finished product was very good. We're now considering TVC for other projects. I would not hesitate to recommend them!

His professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond made a significant difference in our project. If you are looking for a contractor in the Tri-Valley area who is reliable, skilled, and genuinely invested in his clients' satisfaction, look no further than Stephen.

I had a very challenging experience working with Daniel Stamatoiu of Horizon Building for a…read morebathroom remodel in 2020. His bid was reasonable, but I found him difficult to trust for numerous reasons, causing me a lot of stress, necessitating my close oversight of his work, and making our many change orders difficult to negotiate. On multiple occasions Daniel misrepresented facts to me, including those related to a) his abilities, b) his material costs, c) availability of materials to meet my specifications. (Item B on that list was particularly glaring - where he tried to charge me $40/piece for heartwood redwood when he was using $11/piece plain old pine/fir! "Oops," he said "I must have misread the Home Depot website." As if an experienced contractor doesn't realize what a 2x4 should cost!?) I can acknowledge that many of our other issues arose from a dry rot issue he had not anticipated in preparing his bid, but it was him who elected not to go into the crawl space during his job walk, resulting in his bid failing to include this issue. Even after I forewarned him of the issue before work started, he elected not to inspect it. He acknowledged a lack of experience dealing with dry rot, but he later assured me that he'd address the problem as part of the job (unfortunately for me this was a verbal agreement, not one in writing). His failure to be forthright about his ability to address wood-destroying fungus meant that the necessary expertise was not brought in and therefore the problem was allowed to propagate and later re-infect portions of the work Daniel performed. On top of it all, much of his finishing work was shoddy at best. Gaps between the baseboards and floor, poorly textured wall paint around a new window (despite repeated request to correct the issue by me over multiple days and multiple failed attempts), a door that does not swing smoothly (again, despite me pointing it out and asking him to address it), a bathroom vanity that is not perfectly level, a window sill plate that was never smoothed so the rough/sharp edge from the manufacturing is glaringly obvious. I was hesitant to post this review because Daniel did claim he would warranty his work. Though I appreciate him coming back out to have a look at the issues he created, this has done me little good in the long run, as his "warranty" has summed about 2-3 hours of labor and did nothing to permanently correct the issues identified.

We had a really great experience with Daniel and Horizon Building, and would definitely recommend…read moreto folks looking for a reasonably priced contractor. In fact, I've already recommended him to a few friends. They renovated two bathrooms for us, and they both look stunning. We were particularly impressed with the quality and service for the cost, and would give him very high marks for value. We could tell when Daniel first came to bid the projects that he was very detail oriented (he was the only one of four that took notes and gave us an itemized bid), and that proved to be both true and helpful. He and his team made sure things were perfect before they were done. Small things came up of course (different batches of grout were slightly different colors, our tiles were too irregular in length to do the tile pattern we wanted and there was some miscommunication around this) but they worked with us to get everything as close to perfect as possible. His brother Andrei lays the tile and his work is really gorgeous. Daniel's also just a really nice guy and a particularly good communicator, getting back to us with answers to questions right away and troubleshooting issues that came up. For example, our stone fabricator cut the back edge of the stone too close to the sink, making it quite difficult to install the faucet, but Daniel found a way to make it work and had a good attitude about it. He and his team were also incredibly considerate in the amount of noise they made, making sure they waited until our baby was awake before doing the really loud stuff. One thing to be prepared for in working with Daniel (rather than a designer/builder team) is that you have take on the project design and materials sourcing yourself. For us this included some complex tile math and finding our own stone fabricator, though he did introduce us to excellent custom cabinet maker (https://millenswoodworking.com/) and shower glass company who we were very happy with. We probably could have used a bit more help knowing when we needed each component to be ready (sometimes they were stalled waiting on pieces), but he and his team were really patient with the delays. They were also very respectful of our time, and overall had wonderful customer service. Would absolutely use Daniel again for projects and wholeheartedly recommend him!

Although I ultimately couldn't move forward with Daniel/Triangle Construction due to timing on my…read moreend, I have to leave a review because the experience I had just during the vetting process was outstanding. From the very first conversation, it was clear I was speaking with a true professional. Triangle Construction (Daniel Curtis) was incredibly responsive, transparent, and thorough, all qualities that are surprisingly rare in this industry. He took the time to walk me through the process, answered all my (many!) questions with patience and clarity, and provided insights that made it clear he has deep expertise and a passion for doing things the right way. His professionalism, integrity, and clear communication gave me so much confidence. If you're lucky enough to work with him, you're in excellent hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality work and a contractor who genuinely cares. If my timeline had been more flexible, I would have hired him in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

We had Mark and team recommended by a friend who just had their bathrooms remodeled by Baird…read moreConstruction. Called Mark and he came out the next day for the quote. Mark was right on time and ready to go. He explained his process, time lines, showed us pictures of his previous work and gave us some ideas. We had a quote the next day and it was in line or under the other 3 contractors that had provided previous quotes. We signed the bid and we were off and running. It took him about 4 weeks to start but you are going to need that because we had to source all the material like tile, bath tub, toilet, bath fixtures, vanity, mirrors and countertops. Baird does not render designs, but Mark did offer up suggestions and gave all the measurements so we knew how much to buy. We were ready to go when Mark, Edgar and Pablo showed up for demo! The first thing they did was put down floor protection, put up plastic and taped off the vents to the limit the dust during construction. Demo went quick and thankfully there were not too many surprises. Once we were ready for construction Mark went through everything with us again so we were all on the same page before construction started. This is one of Mark and team's strong points. We checked in constantly and they listened to us! We made some last minute changes and guess what...no problems. He made sure we got what we wanted. Edgar and Pablo were true professionals. Edgar was truly a master at laying tile. It was incredible. He drew or chalked out all the patterns prior to laying the tile so that we could see what it was going to look like, measured perfectly, and then laid it down like a master! It took 4-5 weeks to get it all done but it was worth it! What an amazing result. The thing that I appreciated the most was that after a long day of work Edgar and Pablo left the work space and the rest of house as clean as it was when they got there. The last thing that I want to mention was that Mark's bid for the job was accurate. We were lucky that there were not a lot of surprises, but we paid what bid came in at. For me that's a sign that the man really knows this business. I paid in 3 installments and the first one wasn't until demo was done and we settled on our final layout. Mark, Edgar and Pablo were true professionals and good people. I would recommend them to anyone in the Tri-valley!
