Gerardo and his team were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish and I could not be…read morehappier with the quality and beauty of the result! My job was large and timing was complex but he took it all in stride and showed the value of experience! I own a corner lot and needed front and two side fences constructed at 80 ft lengths on both sides. I wanted to achieve the beautiful design of horizontal slats but not break the bank doing so. Gerardo consulted me patiently and was incredibly flexible in his design allowing us to get ultimate privacy of 7' overlapping boards between my neighbor, slats in front, and vertical board with 1/2" gaps on the street side. So, what made Gerardo a cut above the rest? His communication, dedication to quality, and ability to get things done on a tight schedule while still being flexible enough to quickly deal with unforeseen issues. For example. I had to delay the project three times due to roadblocks from other home remodel inspections. I always gave him a few weeks notice but nonetheless he was always gracious with the requests. Another example: I made an assumption about the neighbor wanting to terminate their front/side fence flush with the front of their home (I mean who doesn't want more private yard space???) Well, you know what they say about assuming... when the neighbor asked to move the fence segment back Gerardo did not hesitate to give a fair price for the additional labor and execute still within the original timeline (an amazingly swift 4 days). In addition to his flexibly, his judgement was impeccable! Every recommendation he made about the design, from heights, to following the sidewalk curve, to whom he subcontracted for cement work on my pavers all turned out perfectly! Lastly, the quality of his work is truly next level! The tolerances, grading, levels, spacing show a dedication to his craft that is truly rare! We have a relatively challenging property with grades falling away from the home on each side and he made everything look effortless! I'm very good at finding issues with services and products (it's actually my profession) but in the case of Gerardo and Authentic construction I really have nothing to complain about... even billing and invoice processing (paperwork), which can be a sticking point with other contractors, was completely smooth and effortless (BTW, lo siento regarding the late materials deposit!) If you have a hardscaping or fencing project Gerardo is your guy! Looking forward to our next project!

He allowed us to control the design and appliance choices and readily provided in areas we were unsure of (ie, lighting, sources for countertop slabs, etc). He and his team were very responsive over the course of the project from initial consultation through final touch ups and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time given that it was started during the holidays (right before Thanksgiving and finished by New Year's). The area was kept clean and organized, workers courteous and the team communicated with us each step of the way. The final product is exactly what I had envisioned. We will not hesitate to reach out again to update other areas in our house or recommend Shefer.

The showers were only 2-3 feet of space, dark and uncomfortable to shower in. Hardly any vanity space and the places the toilets were, were well, not the most spacious. We knew eventually we would have to renovate the bathrooms. Well, when we met Yaniv, we hired Shefer Builders to redo our roof. I could tell instantly he was an extremely detailed person. This filters down to the staff. The entire staff!! Talking with Yaniv during the roof project, we decided to have the company redo our bathrooms. This included a 3D designer, and a mobile showroom that came to the house so I could choose all the fun stuff. Everyone is so nice and comfortable to talk to about design and pricing. In addition, the crew and foremans were very helpful in explaining what they were doing throughout the enire projects. As for the kitchen: we had a dishwasher go bad and it leaked water all over including out the back of the house!! Well....perfect time to have Shefer Builder renovate the kitchen!! What a continued blessing to have the crews come back again and help in such a fine way. I have always loved cooking and baking but even more so now with my beautifully desinged, perfectly crafted and functional kitchen!! They give so much attention to the little things I did not even notice! Exceptional quality from everyone!! The crews were hard working, fun and really made the process a joy to experience. We will definately be calling to use them for any further things we need beautified at our home!!

When I called Sun eve he said nothing was definite and had another job and he could do it the following week. Didn't confirm. Needed to ask the morning of if he was coming. He confirmed. He sounded sick. A lot of chest congestion and I didn't feel comfortable being around him. Next day he was in bad shape, needed quite a few rest breaks.I hired him to replace pergola and deck boards, power wash and stain. Missed some areas of the pergola with the power wash and asked about any other boards that needed replacement. He didn't act on that. Power wash on pergola was inadequate and left a lot of paint chips coming off on the deck. Anything above the estimate on the deck, The charge was a little excessive. Asked about sanding, he kept on evading the subject and just carried on with the staining. Didn't really give me a choice of stain. Says he uses brown on older decks. Not happy with the color.Noticed an additional board on the pergola that needed replacing after payment and asked if he would come back for that. Again, evading the issue. Finally told me he was not going to come back. I found his work to be inadequate at best. I'm sorry I hired him for my job and need to hire somebody else to address the issues.
