I am writing to highly recommend Stephen Dickinson and the team at Tri-Valley Construction…read more From start to finish, Stephen proved to be an incredibly wonderful and helpful contractor to work with. What sets him apart is his deep expert knowledge; he doesn't just execute a task--he takes the time to explain the 'why' behind his process, ensuring the job is done right the first time. 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 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!

A ~$250 charge to cut the hole in sheetrock for an electrical outlet, ~$350 charge to install and connect the outlet to the main electrical system. I lost interest at that point. May be there is a charge to turn the breaker off before installation and another charge to turn it back on. Every conceivable step was a line item. I feel sorry for the guy for going through so much trouble to even give me an estimate. I will not even consider that guy because I have no idea what this project could balloon into. He may find something wrong somewhere and all of a sudden I will have another 100 line items and 50k in additional charges. No comments about his quality of work. May be he is good. All I can say is either he is totally unrealistic about market rate of such projects (which I suspect he is not) or he inflates his rates to tells certain customers he is not interested in taking on their project.

Between the initial estimate and the final days of the job ending I changed my mind and added a few more major areas to this project and the crew accepted my changes and adjusted their schedules to still accommodate my current project while still keeping any new client jobs to start on time. This was very important to me that they were very flexible with my changes. We really appreciated their recommendations since this is their expertise and their help really made our changes come together. Our project consisted of electrical, plumbing, roofing, painting, flooring, interior and exterior doors and windows. We would definitely recommend this company!!

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!

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!
