    After our modular home manufacturer unexpectedly canceled our order, we felt lost and unsure of how…read moreto move forward with building a new second unit on our property. That's when we met Doug -- and everything changed. Our project wasn't simple. The permit required us not only to build a brand-new house but also to renovate and legalize the existing old house. Doug stepped in, redesigned the new unit beautifully, and reimagined the old house so the two complemented each other perfectly. The construction of the new home went incredibly smoothly. Doug's professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were evident every step of the way. The quality of his work truly exceeded our expectations. The renovation of the old house turned out to be much more complex than expected, but Doug handled every challenge with steady leadership and creativity. He brought the right people together, found thoughtful solutions, and kept the project moving forward steadily through each difficulty. His dedication and calm problem-solving turned a demanding process into a truly rewarding experience. The whole process took nearly five years -- but in the end, we have two beautiful homes that feel cohesive, warm, and full of life. Doug's commitment, honesty, and heart carried us through. We're deeply grateful for his expertise and friendship throughout this journey. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your home as much as you do, Doug and his team are the ones to call. We can't recommend them enough. Please feel free to contact me if you want the reference. My phone: 408-800-6698. Michael

    Douglas Fernandez of Fernandez Design and Builders in San Jose remodeled my entire home in 2007 and…read moredid such an excellent job; my home now is so beautiful and unique & a great fit for my way of life. The good news is that he was so fair and honest; he really watched costs which is so unusual, and in the end, I could be so much more innovative and creative and do so much more than I could have been with any another contracting firm; even more importantly, we had such a good time working together (even the demolition which I dreaded was a piece of cake because of Doug). I left throughout the remodel on many business trips, & there was so much progress and usually a surprising new touch Doug added every time I returned home. Since then, Doug has been there for me on many other occasions. The good news is that Doug is happy with and enjoys smaller remodeling jobs as well. Last year my outside deck came away from its stucco wall & needed a complete retrofit, including adding more structural columns to further support the deck. He loves a good challenge and coming up with great creative and exciting solutions that are brilliant, yet not expensive. Doug's cell is 510-377-9711. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information; my cell is 650-804-8894. Best wishes, Kaaren Powers

    This owner Bruce is a total nightmare, stay away!!! He suggests solutions that are three times…read moremore expensive than anyone else and REFUSES to work with other engineers who say he is being far too unreasonable. Look at his other reviews! Three people just had to hire someone else and they are out $4000 because he is so horrible to work with. I am out $4500 and he is a completely unreasonable and he thinks he is smarter than anyone else, when really he is so full of himself no one can get through to him. He is super abusive, many many people have issues with his personality. This company should not exist anymore he is that bad. Will not listen and in my opnion is a complelety abusive and dishonest person. His managwr told me he does not work with push piers or do work for push piers AFTER I paid them and I ws very clear that the foundation fix I needed was being done with push piers, He took my money and he had no way to meet my needs, very dishonest, I hired Bruce Emam to do a soil test for my foundation repair and a possible addition. He called right when the workers were about to start and wanted $1000 more - shady. He tried to pressure me and yelled at me and called several times for more money before they would start working. Like he was holding me hostage. I tried to talk to him he just talked over me and was yelling over and over like he was beating me up with his words. He got off on being a bully. Very aggressive, very powerplay. He said much more extensive work was needed. I had explained the project throughly several times and all was well documented. He would just yell and not listen, total bully. The bait and switch was not appreciated. I cancelled the job and am asking for my deposit back. After calling many other soil companies I realized my job was too small and Bruce was the only one who would do it in the timeframe I needed. I called his manager and he said he would do it but I still had to pay $4500 instead of $3900. Bruce and he was upset at the bad review and wanted me to take it down. I said when I have a good experience and you guys turn out to be nice pople I can take down the bad review. He did the soils report and asked for my money before he would send the report. I said I paid him a deposit I would like to make sure he did the report before paying, but I ended up paying. His report apparently stated they needed concrete piers which are three times more expensive and according to the foundation company completely unnecessary. They said it completely over the top, Those are only used on a landslide or slopes in extreme situations and my ground is flat and totally not needed. He is just all about money. I feel He is intentionally trying to screw me over and make the job three times more expensive. I feel He is very much a power-play guy, holds people hostage has SERIOUS, SERIOUS control Issues, has "I have to be right issues". In my personal opinion, There is something psychologically wrong with this guy. It seems to me he enjoys being vicious and will try to destroy you if you disagree with him. I would never never never recommend this company to anyone and I feel he is a scam artist and highly unethical because he is such a control freak. I am thinking of calling the other people who have worked with him and had to get a totally new report to file a class action lawsuit with me against this terror of a man. Any takers??? He is all about money and a complete CONTROL FREAK AND YOU MUST OBEY HIM OR HE WILL BE BRUTALLY MEAN TO YOU. His own workers say there are many complaints about his personality. I need a full refund or I am seriously considering a lawsuit againt this unethical dishonest bully. This is my experience. This guy is BAD. This is my personal experience with this highly ABUSIVE and overly dominant individual STAY AWAY.

    Had a geotechnical report done. Took 3 months to get the report after the deadline. Also they wont…read moredo a review letter which is required by the county and part of the report. If your looking for a geotechnical engineer skip this one.
