We highly recommend this company! RCO and Roberto provide high quality, top notch craftsmanship type work at a very reasonable price. Roberto is very experienced, hands-on and extremely conscientious. He is meticulous in his work, has an eye for detail and is always customer service and customer needs focused. Capable of large and small projects with particular expertise in deck design and construction. Our new modern and elegant set of decks (one 3 level set of decks and 1 front entrance deck) came out even better than anticipated, at a very reasonable price. If you want high quality, honest, caring and well done work - RCO construction is a great choice. read more

Wow. From the client side, construction often feels like Russian Roulette with a five-chamber revolver - you're probably gonna be OK, but far too often it explodes in your face. Too rarely, the experience transforms into a world-class meal in one of them fancy restaurants with stars that sound like tires. That was our experience with these folks. It's not that they were reasonably priced - they were. It's not that they actually did what they were supposed to do - shockingly in construction it's not a given, but yes, they did. It's not even that though once they pulled out the old stuff, they found layers of pipes and other crap that they needed to figure out and work around and could easily have claimed thousands for in cost overruns...but they didn't. All of these things on their own would have easily made them a five-star operation. But then they went above and beyond. The people working on the new floating deck were all wonderful. The grace they showed repeatedly as they needed to shift plans and figure out a new way to handle things midway were exemplary. The ingenuity in finding creative solutions to allow us to keep our trees or deal with some unexpectedly awkward angles that emerged was practically like having an architect on hand. This was a complex, difficult project in the hills. Roberto, the owner, was always so involved and just...there...when he was needed, plugged in the whole way through, pleasant and easy to work with. It all comes from the top, and his attitude clearly informed the crew. So no Russian Roulette here. We will without question bring them in again if we need another project like this. I already referred them out a couple of times since they completed the work a few weeks ago, and I'm writing this to let you know, too - zero hesitation in recommending them wholeheartedly. If there were a sixth star to hand out, I would. read more

RCO General Construction - New deck (before staining) - Decks & Railing Near Me

I made the easiest decision when it came to doing business with Roberto Orellana and RCO General Construction. Roberto was very knowledgeable and understanding when it came to what I wanted for my back deck. He worked around my budget and provided a quality product in a timely manner. With just a photo of what I wanted Roberto and his crew completed my back deck in a week's time. Top notch rating to the professionalism his crew provided. I will be doing business with RCO General Construction in the future. Highly recommend. read more

Roberto and his crew did a great job repairing our deck. He pointed out the issues, and gave us a couple options for how we could deal with it. Once we agreed on a solution, they showed up on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up everything afterward. The quality of the work was excellent -- highly recommend them! read more

I've interviewed 9 construction/deck companies before trusting my gut feeling and hired Roberto and his crew. I knew the deck project was no easy task, with a sliding hillside, no proper drainage and the many unexpected surprises once the digging began. From beginning to end, Roberto was readily available, helping us with design, ideas on how to handle existing problems and rethinking/recalculating when new unexpected problems were discovered.......and he did it in his calm and friendly manner all within the given estimate. Great contractors are a rare find these days and Roberto and his hard working, knowledgeable crew showed dedication, integrity and pride in their workmanship. So glad I found Roberto's company and know he will be the one I call for any of our other remodels/repairs/rebuild. Well deserved 5 stars and highly recommend RCO read more

Roberto and his team were great! I would give them 6 stars if I could. They replaced our old dilapidated deck with a new much stronger and more beautiful redwood deck. Cheers Roberto! Mike E read more

Best experience I've had with a contractor and that's saying a lot because I'm also a property manager/realtor. Roberto is easy to work with. VERY knowledgeable and skilled at his craft Communicates clearly. Transparent with costs. And has an excellent crew working for him. I cannot say enough good things about RCO. Plan to use him for a very long time... HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Roberto and his crew were fantastic to work with. His quote was comparable to other quotes we received and we chose to go with him because he's also a general contractor so we knew if we ran into any issues, he's be able to asses, make recommendations and complete the work. Our house is very old so we knew we'd run into something. If you want a contractor that's able to trouble shoot and make suggestions to your design, go with Roberto. His crew always showed up on time and throughout the whole process Roberto kept in touch and came over daily to review the progress. The final deck is beautiful, high quality, attention to detail. I will be using Roberto in the future when we're able to complete more house projects. Wonderful to work with. read more

Over the last couple of years, I have had a few things around the house go a bit sideways. When looking for a team to come and help fix the troubles, I was connected with Roberto and his team. I can only say that they have been great to work with. Not only was he able to complete the ork, but he took the time to really build trust with me. Roberto first helped out with a window replacement in my ADU. The window had been installed incorrectly by the previous owners, and we were getting water intrusion and some molding. Roberto and team did a great job from sourcing a new window, cleaning up the mold and re-drywalling, to finding the specific siding and paint to match the existing. After that, Roberto helped replace a fence we had that was at the end of its life. While this should have been a simple job, it actually required rebuilding a crumbling retaining wall, and working around established trees without killing them. After that I had complete confidence in Roberto, and contracted him to partially finish my garage, including rewiring and lighting. Through all of these, Roberto was professional, open to working with me on the best thing to do, and focused on getting the job done. I would absolutely recommend RCO for any of you general needs. read more

Roberto and his team repaired the deck at my home was that recently purchased. The deck top layer was rotted and in it was poorly constructed overall. When he came over to see the porch and provide a estimate for services he was very patient and easy to talk to. He took the time to answer all my questions. His team works very quickly and efficiently and were very kind. They worked hard on every detail to make sure I was happy with the result. Roberto is a very good communicator and kept us updated during the entire project. I can't say enough great things. I would absolutely hire Roberto and his team again. We love our new deck! read more

Great experience with Roberto and his guys. They installed hardi siding on two sides of my 1950 property that has original cedar siding...which was rotting due to heat. No one else wanted to do a partial re-siding for a reasonable price. RCO came through with a fair price and great attention to doing things properly. Cleaned up each day so as to not disturb my tenants. Also did some other repairs that came up without overcharging. I'll use them again for several other projects. read more

RCO General Construction - Decks & Railing Near Me

Roberto and his crew recently finished a big job so I thought I would write another review. 16 years ago I bought a house built in 1957 from the original owners. Zero upgrades had been made. Over the years I had remodeled each room, one at a time, except the living room and kitchen. Hiring various contractors of varying skill and communication levels. I had been waiting for the right fit to do the two most important rooms in the house, as far as family disruption goes. Last summer Roberto did the living room, and I decided to take the plunge at the end of the year to do the kitchen. As anyone who has remodeled a kitchen can attest, this was going to be a big deal. A big deal not only because I grew up in the restaurant business and had exacting requirements, but also because I knew once we started there would be no turning back or getting off easy with "this old house". Throughout the process Roberto took all my unique requests and scope changes in stride. Investigated and upgraded things no other contractors had been brave enough to tackle (sewer lines and moving major waterlines). He even noticed a slight gas leak at the earthquake turn off valve nobody else had caught. Always pleasant, always helpful and most importantly; always making things right when they went wrong either by the hands of others or his crew, which invariably happens on any large project. Very reasonably priced and a consummate professional. All the rooms in the house are now done, but as any homeowner knows, the work is never done. He's the only contractor I will work with from here on out. read more

Based on the photos and reviews here I contacted Roberto late last year about replacing our aging backyard fence. He responded right way, came out and measured the yard and gave us a quote for the 120' or so of new fence. He worked with us to come up with a design that looked the way we wanted and was built to last. His crew was very efficient, did a beautiful job, and left our property tidier than when they arrived. The materials used were all excellent quality. We couldn't be happier with the work, and we have already talked about a couple of follow-on projects. read more

We just moved into our first home and desperately needed a fence for our pups. Roberto and his crew did such a great job and we were impressed by the quality and craft of their work! Dogs aren't happy they can't roam free in the world, but we humans definitely feel peace of mind that they're not gonna run away AND really feel the fence actually makes our house look better! We're getting a lot of comments from our new neighbors that they like our fence! :) read more

RCO General Construction - Decks & Railing Near Me

After atmospheric rivers took out large sections of our old fence, we decided to replace the whole thing, including two side gates. Roberto listened closely and responsively to our needs, while offering expert advice based on decades of experience. His crew were both meticulous and flexible--in one place creating a "V" nook to avoid cutting down a neighbor's tree. Roberto designs extra robust frames with three horizontal rails (including one in the middle), and with pickets resting on the kickboards. We're confident that the new fence will withstand more extreme weather for many years to come. It also looks beautiful. We're very happy. read more

As a first time homeowner, it can be hard to know who to trust. I took a number of bids for my deck project- and Roberto was far and away, the most professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy contractor I've met. His breadth of knowledge allows him to provide multiple solutions to complex problems with confidence, and his understanding and willingness to listen to the client is unparalleled. He worked with me to figure out exactly what I wanted, he dealt with any small thing that came up, and he's a great communicator. The RCO crew is courteous, quiet, and clean- and the pride in workmanship and craftsmanship shines through in the end result. Everyone who sees my deck immediately compliments it. I will not use anyone else from here on out! read more

I went with RCO Construction for my fence and I'm very glad I did. Roberto and his team built an absolutely beautiful fence for our new home. He used the highest quality wood and the craftmanship is superb. I found him to be professional, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. All the members of his team were extremely helpful and accommodating to all our needs. I cant recommend RCO enough. They come highly recommended, if I could give them 10 stars I would. I will be using RCO for all my future builds. read more

RCO General Construction - Decks & Railing Near Me

Really disappointed! After seeing the other 5 star reviews for RCO, I requested an estimate to fix a sagging fence and to remove and replace another fence. They responded immediately and through a couple messages, they said they would be out that afternoon. No show! No message! No communication whatsoever. If I can't rely on them to keep an appointment for an estimate, I definitely don't have confidence in any schedule we might have set up to do the work. 6/24 - After posting my review, RCO General Construction said they read my review, apologized and said he lost his briefcase with my info in it. read more

Roberto the owner has been a gem to work with! He goes above and beyond on all aspects of the project. He and his team are pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely continue working with RCO in all future home projects. read more

My fence fell during one the rain storms and RCO was quick to respond and start work the next day after doing an on-site consultation. I wanted to design the pattern at the top 12" of the fence to preserve the view and have a more "arts and crafts" feel and RCO was able to work with me to make that happen. They also came up with a unique solution to deal with an existing tree so that it could be preserved which impressed me. All the posts had concrete footings which was a must for me given that my original fence did not have them. The crew on my job was small (about 2 people on average) so it did take longer than I had expected to finish all the work including clean up, but all in all it turned out to be a beautiful fence. read more

Roberto and his team did an outstanding job repairing a damaged outdoor stairwell.

RCO did a complete bathroom remodel for us In February. They did an outstanding job, on time, on budget and with excellent skill and care. Their estimate was fair. I highly recommend contracting them, and would do so again in the future. Their work included a totally new and expanded shower, tile installation, glass door installation, new vanity, new cabinet, electrical improvements, heater/fan, towel warmer and new flooring. read more

I had a humidity problem in one of the rooms of my duplex in Vallejo. Roberto said that the siding needed to be replaced on one wall. He completed the job as agreed, on time, using Hardie Plank as a I requested on 2 walls, installing insulation (which I could not verify), moisture barrier, and sealing the edges of the windows. The finished job looks great (he matched the existing paint pretty closely). I'm not a construction expert, but the work seems to be done correctly. We shall see if them moisture problem is gone when the heavy rains return next year, but for now I'm quite happy with the work and price. Communications & responsiveness were pretty good. read more

We had an old fence that really needed to be replaced. In the last big storm it was REALLY ready to go. I called Roberto and set up a time right away for a quote, and gave a great explanation of what the options are and the cost. He emailed for formal quote that evening and we decided to proceed with the project. They came by in it took a 1.5 days to complete the job. The fence is fantastic and it is very strong. His team left a very clean worksite afterwards and had no problem incorporating the new fence into the new landscaping and an existing fence. Just an observation is that Roberto didn't physically do any of the physical construction. read more

We needed a fence installed in our driveway, side yard, and a privacy screen installed on our back deck. We spoke with many contractors and received many quotes. Not only did Roberto seem the most trustworthy and capable of the bunch, his quote was also the most reasonable. Upon agreement, Roberto and team started work very quickly and worked efficiently. They were attentive to the details and asked frequent questions about the small mechanics of how gates would function or how details would look, which my wife and I greatly appreciated. The result is a beautiful fence which offers us much more privacy than we previously had. We could not be more pleased. I will be working with RCO again for future projects, no doubt. read more

I'm happy to share the great experience I had with Roberto Orellana and his team while they rebuilt my townhouse patio deck. From day one, Mr. Orellana has been a true professional, knowledgeable, courteous and a friend. Mr Orellana and his team were very respectful of my home with the ongoing covid situation. There is no outside entrance to my deck therefore they have to enter through my home. Mr Orellana covered my floor to protect the area they used to bring materials to and from the deck. I observed their work each day and was impressed with the care and precision of their work. Nothing was overlooked. They removed all debris from the area including some junk I had stored on my deck. When I added a request to lay down a ground wire mesh to prevent critters from nesting under the deck, Mr Orellana obliged and was honest when I asked if this would be of value? He's an honest man and I trust him. The end result is a beautiful redwood deck that my son and I will enjoy for years to come. I highly recommend Mr. Orellana and will use his company for future renovation projects for my kitchen and bathrooms. read more

Roberto and his team are consummate professionals.

I blew out a guest bathroom GFCI outlet which powered all the electrical outlets in two other bathrooms and in the garage (I was using an old shop vac in the garage which died suddenly and totally burnt out the GFCI outlet on a Sunday of course). Roberto was recommended to me, I called him and he offered to come out the same day. He arrived right on time, explained what the problem and the solution. Within an hour the GFCI outlet was replaced and he made sure the circuit and all outlets working properly. Very courteous and knowledgeable. Knows his stuff. The bill to my surprise was less than quoted on the phone. I am very grateful to Roberto, and highly recommend him for any electrical jobs needed. read more
