I needed a a section of walkway and a concrete step replaced in connection with a drainage project…read moreI was working on. I called Ben and he came out that day and gave me a quote at a fair price. Ben and crew came out the next day and set-up the forms. The following day they completed the pour and finished the concrete which looks great. Ben also did a good job of letting me know when he was planning to do the work and kept to the schedule. I would definitely recommend him for concrete work.

Gary was hired to repair water damage to a basement bedroom and kitchen ceiling. His estimate for…read morethe bedroom took 2 weeks; he inspected the kitchen twice and never provided an estimate. Gary's drywall work seems solid, and his suggestion that we add more outlets while we had the walls open was great. In 5 working days, he only arrived as schedule twice, texting me in the morning to change his mind about the other 3 days. He left the room half-painted with a partially disassembled and broken closet door frame. He wanted more money to finish the painting but never provided an estimate for that, either. He also left a trash bag as big as my garbage bin that will take several weeks to throw out with my usual trash. After he saw my poor review, he reiterated that he didn't think he was obligated to finish the painting, but offered to anyway. This was the 4th time he said he'd paint it. By then I had lost faith in Gary, and was working with another painter.

Gary and crew were highly recommended by a friend who said "best contractor I've ever worked with",…read moreand did not disappoint. They helped us replace ceiling drywall after mold remediation, which they completed quickly and quietly (we just arrived home from the hospital with a newborn the day before!) Gary was super helpful and gave me lots of advice on other small things I've wanted to do at the house, including a bedroom closet modification which they just took care of right away. They were all friendly, always on time, communicated well and all pricing discussion was clear and upfront. Can't recommend them highly enough. We'll certainly be asking them to help us with additional work in the future.

Eduardo has done two projects on my house in SF and I've been very happy with the results…read more The first was a laundry room where he had to move the plumbing, electrical, and gas lines as well as finish the flooring. He expertly walked me through the permitting process, which can be difficult in the city, and worked with me through all the details. He was recommended to me by a friend and I would gladly recommend him again. We also did a mold remediation and closet rebuild, this was incredibly time sensitive and somewhat difficult because I am the landlord and had to work with my tenants to make sure they were ok with the process as it was happening. He helped talk both me and my tenants through what the process would be like, making sure that there were plastic walls to protect us from the mold as the job was being done, and beautifully completed the project within a very tight timeframe at the last minute. Very grateful for his expertise and his concern for my tenant's well being. I actually have another project that I'm planning to reach out to Eduardo for in the future!

I don't normally leave negative reviews but this was the worst professional experience I've ever…read morehad in my life, and if I can keep even one person from having the same experience, it'll be worth it. The company did the classic thing of taking twice as long and costing twice as much as quoted but when they were done, the work was terrible too! The walls began cracking almost immediately and we had to have other contractors in to fix all the errors they made. Their people smoked on the job site (so, in our home) and whenever we would try and talk with company representatives, they would try and gaslight us into believing it was somehow our fault. I cannot say strongly enough that you should hire literally anybody else.

Josh is a great salesman and my confidence was never higher in his team's work than when he was…read morearound. At the end of the day, I am really happy with the quality of 90% of the work, which is why I'm giving 4 stars. I think underlying Covid-related problems caused most of the grief in our 2021 kitchen remodel: supply chain issues & illnesses causing delays that chain-reacted to stretch a 3-month timeline to 6 months, plus Josh's workload was double of normal with the same number of subs because all his 2020 jobs had been paused and came back ready to resume earlier than expected. I was accordingly understanding, but I still felt like we often got deprioritized as clients-- maybe because I wasn't calling to yell at him, like I overheard once. I almost tried to pitch my project management services to help him manage! We also had a stickler inspector who asked us to expand the scope of the initial project beyond what we budgeted or that Josh wanted to make time for (to rewire the rest of the house vs. just the kitchen). Despite (or because of) these external problems, Josh struggled with managing our expectations/communications. He knew we were first-time renovators who don't know when to ask questions vs. wait to see how it turns out. I am also a project manager in another field, so I love context and details. He seemed defensive and frustrated with us at times despite us trying to be as patient as we could be. I'm sure we weren't perfect clients, but we were trying to be really easygoing about it. Quality-wise: I love just about everything but the paint, which was sloppy in many places and in some cases peeled less than a year later (I suspect it wasn't sanded/prepped properly). I was also disappointed in the visual execution of the plumbing (it works fine), which Josh told me would not be plumbed on the exterior of the house, but was anyway. Plumbers also forgot to add an exterior water spigot but after the 3rd reminder, I gave up. The "construction cleaners" Josh hired to wrap did an okay first-pass on the dust and small debris, but it wasn't really livable until I did my own second pass, then hired another cleaner to do a third-pass deep clean. We also made the classic first-timer mistake of sending the final check before the last punch-list was ever complete. For a few months Josh kept saying "oh yeah I'll be by to take care of that next week" until we gave up and DIY'd a few finishing details and got rid of stuff the crew left behind. None of it was too complicated and it doesn't kill us to practice these skills: quarter round moulding for one wall of the floor, a couple gaps to close between cabinet and wall, capping the old sink pipe, caulking the sink fixtures, and paint touchups throughout. I hope I *never* need to do this extensive of a remodel again (at least not while I'm living in the guest room downstairs!). But if I do, because of the overall quality I would give Josh the benefit of the doubt on those extenuating circumstances.

He is a dedicated concrete contractor and specializes in foundation repair/replacement, structural upgrades, seismic work and drainage. I hadn't heard of MR Construction, but I did my due diligence before selecting him. Well known, high quality contractors in the Berkeley/Albany use his services frequently. In fact, one of the general contractors that I spoke to told me he used Randolfo for his own house, so that made me feel confident that Randolfo could get the job done to a very high level. His prices are fair and his work is clean and carefully executed and he doesn't cut corners. I'm a very demanding client, and Randolfo made sure that the work was done to the highest level. My architect who didn't know his work was impressed with the end product. If you need a dedicated concrete contractor for your project, I highly recommend getting in touch with this contractor. You will not be disappointed.
