We hired Ricky and the team at Valenz Construction in early 2023 to do a huge renovation on our…read morehouse. It involved gutting out and starting over for the entire house, as well as reconstructing one end of it from the foundation up. It was complicated by the fact that we continued to live and work from the home throughout. We can honestly say that Ricky and the team from Valenz were a genuine pleasure to work with. Their care and willingness to work with us--and around us!--at every step of the project was nothing short of remarkable. We also always felt that Ricky was treating us fairly, honestly, and profoundly honorably throughout the entire project. The careful work, flexibility, and never-ending good cheer from everyone was simply remarkable and touched us deeply. We think of it every day as we enjoy the wonderful house Ricky and everyone at Valenz Construction created for us.

We had a great experience end to end with Miu and Jay. She replied quickly to my request and I knew…read morefrom our phone consultation that it would be a strong partnership. She asked a lot of questions that showed her engagement and interest. We had a general sense of what we wanted for our kitchen remodel and Miu guided us with some ideas and suggestions to polish our vision. Throughout the process they were highly communicative, organized, and regularly dropped in to provide direction to the project team and ask us questions. Each day the project team would clean everything up and vacuum the outdoor area so that our child was protected from construction debris. Being licensed contractors, everything was built to code, which was important for a complete tear down remodel for the kitchen. Their price was about 20-30% lower than the other contractors who came to see the project and the timeline was 2-4 weeks faster. The crazy part is the project was delivered exactly on budget and even a bit earlier than estimated. We love the new kitchen and feel like we bought a new house. It's the best investment we've made to our living space. Thank you so much Bay Modern Build!

Working with Bay Modern Build has been fantastic; they were great at communicating throughout the…read morewhole process, they were very conscious of our budget, and their workmanship exceeded our expectations. We hired them to help us design and remodel our kitchen and second-story porch in our 1914 Oakland triplex. They were great at taking our initial ideas and putting together a clear plan to bring them to life, and they were very willing to fabricate a few custom elements that other firms were spoke with were unwilling to consider. They navigated the byzantine city permitting process with expertise, and once the project was underway, the crew always showed up on time, worked hard all day, and left the job site clean at the end of the workday. When the inevitable hiccups arose, we were so thrilled with the way that Jay and Miu navigated the pitfalls and pivoted to solutions. They were both very communicative about change orders and additional costs. And in the end they finished the project early and on budget! We could not be more thrilled with the results, and would not hesitate to work with Bay Modern Build again and recommend them to anyone considering a major remodel. Thank you Miu, Jay and crew!

We sustained damage to our home from a tree falling onto it during the storms in Jan. We needed a…read morenew roof/supporting structures, and repairs to the interior and exterior walls. We had interviewed several contractors and chose Creekside Pro Construction, and we're glad we did. From our first meeting with one of Creekside's Project Manager, Barak, his professionalism and demeanor left us with a good feeling. This positive impression held true throughout the entire project, reinforcing our confidence in Creekside Pro Construction. Working with Barak was a truly positive experience from start to finish. He consistently demonstrated excellent communication skills, actively listening to and addressing concerns throughout the project. Barak's patience and timely estimates made the entire process smooth. The project was completed on schedule and within the agreed budget. I highly recommend Creekside Pro construction and our project manager Barak for his professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction. Thank you Barak and Creekside Pro Construction for getting us back in our home before the holidays.

Update after the company's response:…read more For transparency, I am adding screenshots from the signed contract and project email correspondence. The contract (Quote #3975 - $150,000) clearly includes upgrading the main residential electrical service to 200 AMP and installing the awning above the ADU access door as part of the project scope. These items were presented in the company's response as if they were additional work, but they appear explicitly in the signed contract. I have also included an email dated Aug 20 from the project manager confirming the project was "on track for completion in 3-4 months." The project ultimately took around 6 months to complete. Additionally, the electrical work referenced in their response included an EV circuit, which is typically required for new construction and ADU projects under the 2022 California Electrical Code. This is a standard code requirement rather than a discretionary upgrade. These screenshots provide context for my experience during the project. Throughout the build I frequently had to verify measurements, coordinate ordering timelines, and raise planning questions that would normally fall under project management. The on-site crew worked hard and treated the property respectfully, and I appreciate their effort. My review reflects the overall experience managing this project as a homeowner and is shared to provide transparency for others considering a similar project.

Richard and his team - Federico and Gabriel just finished our bathroom remodel. I wish I could give…read moremore then five stars! We are absolutely thrilled. What really stood out to me was how the team respected our home...they kept it clean, fulled cleaned at the end of each work day...prepped each day just perfectly, went over every detail with us and focused on our job instead of leaving half the day to work on another project. The job was done on time and the price was fair. The whole team was punctual and always let us know when they would get there in the morning. And they were very patient with my barking dog. I would absolutely recommend Premier Construction for any remodel / construction job you have in your home.

I've kind of been procrastinating on this review simply because it won't be short! Ha! Initially…read moremy husband had one of those 'Honey Do' lists that included remodeling our front bathroom. C'mon, how difficult can it be? So we do the demo and find old damage to the framing of the shower and dry rot. Okay I agree we need to call in the professionals. We found Premier through the Diamond Certified booklet and gave Richard a call. When I explained what we wanted Richard said could take on the job immediately and he would provide an estimate. I thought the estimate he came back with was high since we had already done all of the demo. Including getting the beast of a tub out. All I wanted was a frame-less shower, tiled walls, floor, and paint. How can that cost so much? But we needed the bathroom done and they could begin immediately. More about that later. Richard promised the job would be done in two weeks which made us happy since we only had one to use and even with only two people it is tough. Richard came by every morning during the project to check on the progress. Federico and Angel were friendly and arrived early each morning and worked late into the day. They were even 'cheerful' while they worked laughing and chatting with each other. No grumpiness here. At the end of each day I took pics and was very impressed with the progress and how it was all coming together just like I imagined. About the finished bathroom. We really could not be happier. The tile work in the shower is impeccable. They tested the water tightness overnight before beginning to even lay down the shower floor. The floor is sloped so the water will drain properly and not puddle. They added a light/fan combination that wasn't there before and moved electrical outlets to accommodate fixtures. I felt really bad for Federico because he had to go into our attic on a very hot day to hook up the exhaust fan which we did not have before. They even had to shave off the bottom of the original door since the tile floor was higher than the old vinyl floor. My only caution to anyone who uses Premier is to get the shower door factored in early in the project. Like day one. It affects everything including tile and paint. Premier does not do the shower doors which requires getting a bid and conversation from a different contractor. We would have definitely made a few different decisions if we'd talked to the glass guy upfront. Getting back to the cost. We did have to pay for the tile and other materials. I will say that based on the level of effort, the quality of the work, and the finished product, that both my husband and I felt like Richard had underbid this project and we ended up with a product that could/should have cost quite a bit more. Am I complaining? No, we just felt like we were committing a crime. We now have a 'showroom' quality bathroom for the cost of a standard bathroom that will last for the life of the home. All on time and on budget! Thank you Federico, Angel, and Richard! I'll be calling for the other bathroom but please underbid that too! =0)

Alexander Zaytsev is a thief!!!!! He stole $7000 from me…read more He took $ for materials, promissed work to be done in a month or 2, then disappeared for a year=no work done. When I finally got hold of him, he admitted that he spent my $ 1000 for materials, and next day told me he will not return it. I hired him before. He did a good job, showed me his good side (a mask, beneath which is a very, very, very bad person who bites the hand that feeds him). Then, after he developed my trust, he asked for $6000 for 1 year to pay off high interest credit card debt. I gave it to him but a year later when I asked for $ back he started giving me excuses, made me wait till he sells his car, then, asked for 2-3 more month, then 2-3 more. I still thought he could be trusted and treated him as a friend. I gave him construction work to work for this $ and I gave him $1000 more for materials. He promised work to be done in a month or 2. But, 1 year later - no work, no $ and he did not answer the phone and did not return phone calls for over 6 months. I finally reached him through contacting his wife, asked her to help me get hold of him and explained situation to her. Alexander then called me, told me, that he wanted to return but will not return me my $ because I am contacting his wife, I am a threat to his family. He said: "I'm not going to return anything to you out of principle!." This is his formula/his way to justify his low/thief/ratlike behavior. I want to warn all good people not to fall into his trap like I did. Summary: He did work for me cheap 1 st. 2 nd I gave him more work but it was very expensive but good. After he developed my trust he stole my $ by using deceit and manipulation and showed his real -antisocial personality disorder face. Not only did he steal $7000, He also refused to return keys from my 2 houses and garage remote control (I gave him keys a year ago when I gave him jobs and $1000 for materials).
