I'm here to solidly recommend Dario Santiago - a serious paving pro. If asphalt work can look…read moreartistic - he's Rembrandt! It is beautiful! Dario communicated perfectly about the timing of all of the work and made sure he addressed all our concerns and needs. Dario's crew was wonderful, super skilled and friendly. Yes, this is pricey work but the price for the total job was in the middle of the pack of 8 estimates we got. He inspired confidence because he knows his stuff. This pavement is about 2.75-3 inches thick and should outlive us. The finished product is a total game changer for our lives - no more wearing muck boots to get to and from our cars in the rain. Bonus - they cleaned up every bit of stuff - extra material, water bottles, like they were never here. I highly recommend Dario. And when you hire him, you are hiring a local guy, born and raised in Sebastopol and Occidental, and now living here with his own family. He is also sweet, smart, kind - just a solid citizen! We are glad to know him and would not hesitate for a moment to bring him out for future work - and will be doing that!!

We hired Joe for what began as a kitchen fire restoration and ultimately evolved into a much larger…read moreremodel. This was our first experience with a fire restoration/insurance-related construction project, and we had heard plenty of horror stories about unreliable contractors. Joe was the opposite: professional, reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with from start to finish. One of the things we appreciated most was Joe's experience with fire reconstruction. He clearly understood the process and approached the project thoughtfully, recommended excellent architects and engineers, and the team worked well together, which helped the permitting process move along quickly. Joe was also a great communicator. He was responsive by phone, text, and email, and he sent us project progress photos almost daily. Since we were not on site every day, those updates gave us a lot of peace of mind and helped us feel connected to the progress being made. Any time we asked to meet in person, Joe made himself available on site. The finished product came out beautifully and professionally done. Joe has great attention to detail, is grounded, friendly and very easy to work with. Most importantly, he proved himself to be completely reliable and trustworthy and was flexible and collaborative as our ideas evolved. He also saw the job all the way through, including the final punch list items, which we really appreciated. Like any major construction project, there were minor bumps along the way. Joe always had a clear plan for timing and next steps. Because the project expanded from fire restoration into a full remodel, it was difficult to understand the full budget until closer to the end but Joe kept us updated as costs progressed, and in the end we feel like we received good value for the money, even though the total was more than we originally expected. The outcome was worth it, and we love the house - thank you Joe!

He worked under a reasonable budget, as I could not afford to simply re-do the whole kitchen. Those few pieces of the kitchen that were destroyed in the flooding, Mike re-built. Mike made good suggestions on small enhancements within my budget, and my kitchen is now better than ever. He did great work, came in as quoted, was a good communicator, and made me feel confident in the decisions were were making together. I was so happy with the experience, I immediately asked Mike to do a second project: he installed a front porch to my house and replaced my broken walkway with pavers. I left a lot of decision-making to Mike and he made good choices, so it fits with the existing look of the house. Good work. Mike is very trustworthy, easy-going, and takes pride in his work.

I hired Rising Starr Construction to remove and replace exterior building material which had been…read moreaffected by wood destroying pests & organisms - mainly dry rot & fungus - as identified in Home and Pest Inspection Reports. Most of the work required replacing approximately 50 ft x 3 ft of T1-11 siding along several exterior walls and replacing trim boards at various locations. Josh Kesecker is the Owner, and Antonio Martinez is Lead Carpenter and primary onsite worker. After reaching out to Josh, he responded quickly to setup a time to meet at my house and review the scope of work. He was quick to respond with his very clear itemized quote, and he scheduled work immediately. His price was fair considering the work involved and level of quality he and Antonio provided. Josh is a third-generation contractor with prior experience as an Inspector, so he knows how to address corrective issues. He is soft-spoken and calm, very straightforward, experienced, and friendly. Antonio was a gem - a very friendly, skilled professional that works very hard and takes pride in doing work correctly. For example, the trim at a window had been identified in the reports as having fungal damage. When Antonio removed the trim, he found that the damage extended to a narrow 2" and 12" section of siding under the trim on the side of one of the windows, and above the garage personal-door. He proceeded to dig out and replace this siding before replacing the trim. Another contractor would not have included this level of quality control and workmanship and would have simply replaced the trim and left the damage underneath. These guys were very easy to work with, and came through, providing outstanding quality work. I highly recommend them.

We had an…read more'extra room' behind the garage that was below-grade, had drainage issues, had terrible flooring, and the existing French doors and interior walls appeared to have water damage. We called and the owner Josh came out to investigate and assess what we needed to have done - within a day or two he sent a comprehensive and competitive bid. After we agreed to the work Josh returned with his team and within a several days created a French drain system around the extra room to mitigate moisture intrusion, installed a new sliding glass door, installed new flooring / baseboard, resolved some moisture intrusion / fixed and painted dry wall inside the room, and built an incredible post and pier foundation for our new shed we were having delivered. All of the work was done efficiently and with masterful craftsmanship; Josh and his crew were always nice and even cleaned up the work area at the end of each work day! We just sold the home and definitely made our money back and more! Can't recommend Rising Starr Construction enough... Josh and his crew are exceptional and truly the best at what they do.

Jason was hired to replace 2 sides of an existing redwood fence. The new fence was not put in the…read moresame place as the old-it was pushed in over 2' in some places. 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!
