We recently hired Liarakos Construction to do a seismic re-enforcement of our single-family home…read more We were impressed with Nathan, the owner, as well as his workers, Drew and Patrick's work. Nathan stayed in communication with us until he was able to get to our project. He was on the job and working the entire 2 1/2 days it took to complete the job. The crew arrived precisely at the agreed upon start time and were well-organized and efficient. They were pleasant to have working around the home. We had a grant from the Brace & Bolt Program, which required Nath to understand the building techniques and building codes specified by the State. Because of his familiarity with the Program, he was able to help us through the permitting process as well as communicating with the State. It was a pleasure to have Nathan and his crew doing this work, which is making us feel more secure in our home.

I filed a complaint with the county and they found him guilty of not having an official contract with me and theft. So now the next strike he gets he looses his license. This man will pretend to be kind to you then turn into an asshole and damage and steal. If covid hadn't hit I would have been able to take him to small claims court and win. I filed the damage to his bonding company and they were as bad as he is and stated they can't help Me with my home damage and they can't get the money back. I have to sue him. He also has NO INSURANCE FOR WORKERS TO WORK WITH HIM! Yet he used workers at my house and allowed them to wear flip flops during constriction. This was also reported to the county license and they confirmed he was in violation of this. You can call the county to confirm the strikes he got from us working together and all of his illegal activity he was found guilty for. If I had the money for a lawyer this guy would have been sued. Never hire him unless you want to get messed with.

I had a serious situation with water damage at my home which necessitated removing bathroom walls, tub and shower. It was an ugly job that required hours and hours of really hard work. It turned out beautifully in a short period of time! Not only did I get a price that was more than fair (I got quotes from several other contractors), I was able to establish a working relationship with Robert that felt like real team work. I have not experienced this before, as I am a woman and in the past I have felt disregarded when it comes to construction projects. Not so with Robert! I felt respected, listened to, cared about and communicated with every step of the way. I felt so grateful for his consideration and his know how and also for his suggestions as to how to make the job more affordable. The sense of security his emotional sensitivity gave me, combined with his talents and know how made this the most satisfying construction job I've experienced yet. I would use him again anytime for anything! If you are looking for a person who will listen to you, demonstrate reliability, excellent communication and technical know-how, don't hesitate. You will not be sorry!

We hired Brian Daigle Construction after we lost $100k to a crooked contractor who left our home…read moregutted and in total disrepair while we were in lockdown elsewhere due to covid. I was in a vulnerable position after this experience and desperate to complete my home renovation asap, and Brian reassured me that he would "save my project." I put my faith in Brian and agreed to a lump sum project with a significant portion up front. The contract stated the project would be completed in 6 months, but Brian promised it would only take 4 months. We became concerned about Brian's conduct soon after beginning to work with him. He sent me inappropriate/flirtatious texts while drunk and also revealed to us that his own wife had kicked him out of his house for drinking too much. I had my husband confront him about this and he apologized and reassured us that he would conduct himself as a professional going forward, so we decided to move forward with him. Things went well for a couple of months before the project started to fall apart. Brian was increasingly behind schedule and the renovation was somehow going over budget even though we weren't adding to the scope of the project. We went out of town for two weeks in the 4th month of the renovation and came back to find that the project had completely stalled, and that Brian had "fired" two crew members (later I learned he let them go because he couldn't pay them). I also found out that the last remaining crew member quit because hadn't been paid in three weeks and was owed $2000. I confronted Brian with my concerns that the project was months behind and only a quarter of the way complete although we had already paid him three quarters of the budget. He swore to me that he was going to do right by us, made a bunch of empty promises, and then proceeded not to come to work once for a week straight. At that point I fired Brian and then touched base with all the sub-contractors and the crew. I was shocked to discover the depth of Brian's deception and mismanagement of my project. It turns out that he had pocketed most of the $140k I paid him and failed to make payments to the subcontractors which should have been paid in full at this stage. I also learned that he had instructed the crew to only work part-time because he didn't want to pay them more than that. And the subs expressed to me that they were about to leave the project because he kept putting them off and blaming it on me. In short, he was lying to everyone, he stole funds from the project, and his addiction issues were obviously interfering with his capacity to work. The financial losses I've sustained due to Brian's theft of my installment payments are significant. I rehired all the crew and subs and had to repay them what I already gave Brian to pay them. I gave Brian a chance to make this right and refund me the money he owes me: I allowed him a month and half to recover the funds and I offered him a payment plan. He has refused to take responsibility and even attempted to slander me to his former subs and crew (who aren't buying it) and tried to convince them not to work with me. We have been basically homeless for a year during the shelter in place due to negligent and dishonest contractors and now we will continue to be without a home for the entire holiday season. It is a shame that this happens so frequently and it's almost impossible to find a trustworthy and reliable contractor. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone and I intend to take legal action against Brian Daigle Construction as well as file a complaint against his license so he cannot do this to anyone again.

I could go on and on. He is not only a jack-of-all-trades, he is a master. Gerardo will treat your project as if it were his own, and he'll never take shortcuts that compromise the quality, longevity, or aesthetics of the end result. Impressive technical skills and knowledge aside, he is also happens to be extremely friendly, kind, and generous with his time, and reasonable with his rates. He thoroughly accounts for all material and labor costs and won't make a purchase for a project without clearing it with you first. In a field with a spotty reputation, infamous for nightmarish problems of every kind, Gerardo is a beacon of honesty, expertise, and professionalism. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Cross boards are inconsisten, some not cut at the correct angle, many not making any contact. There are nails that completely miss the wood, the pedestrian gate hardware broke immediately. The driveway gate (cheap cattle gate) began to sag the following week-he said he would replace it with a quality gate and would reinforce the gate posts. Rather than cutting the boards to the correct size when going over redwood roots, they ran a skill saw along the top of the fence boards, in a very uneven line. The entire job was horrible. When we brought these issues to Jason's attention (he was not on the job once after doing the estimate), he assured us that he would fix/ replace all of the issues. Then, the excuses began (from he and his wife-office manager): he had fired the 2 men that had done our job and was shorthanded. He injured a leg and needed surgery. He had an infection in his lungs- then a spot on his lungs...it went on and on for more than 2 years. Still, he has not fixed a single issue! Find someone else! You'll be glad you avoided Cambra Contracting!!! I wish we had!
