This review is for the solar system installation I had them do…read more I signed a contract with them in December 2015 and put down a deposit. They said they could start sometime in January. January turned into February. I never got any firm answers about when the installation would happen, just that it would be soon. February turned to March. I'm getting annoyed and still not getting any explanations about why there is a delay. In mid April, I finally get an installation date for later in the month. There were probably some other annoying delay details in there somewhere, but it's been awhile and I'm trying to forget the horror. To my surprise, Anthony does finally come at the end of April and finishes the job. Nick finishes the hook-up with PG&E in a week and I'm running. I'm ecstatic. Nick says that to compensate me for the long delay, they will install bird wire around my panels for free. (Note: you need this to keep pigeons from nesting beneath your panels if you have them in your area) As a gesture of goodwill, I refer one of my neighbors to them for a solar installation. I don't hear back from them for awhile. I periodically check back with Nick and he says they'll get to me eventually. In a few months, my neighbor tells me her installation is beginning. I ask Nick if they will be able to install my bird wire when they're in the area doing my neighbors install. He gives me the runaround and says they'll get to me later. Frustrated, I try a different tact. I say I want to add another panel to my system so they can make some money while doing my bird wire install. I continue to get the runaround. Eventually, Nick says that Anthony will come in November when he has an install in San Ramon. That date passes and Nick doesn't respond to my calls or emails. The next month, he tells me to ask Anthony directly about when he can come. I do this and Anthony ignores my inquiries. In the meantime, the pigeons have infested my roof and making a mess. My neighbor is complaining about all of the pigeon droppings on his property due to all of the birds. During the big rainstorms, I notice my gutters are overflowing....no doubt from clogging due to the pigeon droppings. After waiting a long nine months of broken promises and non-responses, I give up and hire someone else to do the bird wire job. Honestly, if they had just told me to pound sand, I wouldn't have had to waste my time waiting for them and give the pigeons a chance to mess up my roof. Remember, this is how they treat someone that gave them a customer referral! So in summary, long....long........long........delays before they start your installation, non-responsive customer service, and not following through on promises they made. What happens if you have something break while the system is under warranty? I don't think they will come out to fix it based on how I've been treated. I wish I'd have gone with one of the bigger name-brand installers.

I say this without irony: besides our children, Anthony was our biggest blessing of our ten year…read moremarriage. Let me tell you why. We hired someone we trusted to help set us up for success in our half-DIY kitchen renovation: build a beam for a supporting wall, add in other framework, and additional work with plumbing. Not only did all of this guy's work fail during the inspection, but he ran for the hills after collecting payment (luckily, not the full amount--we learned later though that he didn't deserve even a quarter of what we paid him). After more investigation, we learned that we were looking at a completely gutted kitchen with work that had to be COMPLETELY redone, from the new-but-wrong beam, to the plumbing. I was weeks away from delivering our fourth child and completely lost. All other contractors we called (and we called SO SO many) either didn't return our calls, were too busy, or clearly were delighted to take advantage of a desperate pregnant woman's situation and ride all the way to the bank. (Luckily, we were wiser by this point and were able to identify those people quickly.) Anthony was connected to us by some Facebook miracle and since January is a slower month for his usual business--solar--he was able to fit us in. The amount of work this man did in a week's time is extraordinary. He worked ALL day every day, not even pausing to eat, and dealt with the hardest of situations. Nothing he did was simple--even things that should have been still presented tricky problems that had to be thought through carefully and executed with exact detail. Not only was Anthony on site and doing all the construction himself, but he did so with level-headedness, craftsmanship, and a sense of honesty that completely blew my mind, especially after our first experience. I was brushed off and dismissed by other men we had worked with before; not with Anthony. I was treated with respect and 100% fairness, and involved with things--which I absolutely wanted. Also, the work he did was exceptional. Finally, every single thing Anthony did passed with flying colors with quite the picky inspector. The inspector clearly respected Anthony, his thought processes behind things, and his actual work. Because of Anthony, ALL our problems were fixed beautifully, we passed inspections the first time, and were able to move forward with our renovation so that this baby came home to floors and walls that we wouldn't have otherwise had without him. So whether you end up working with him on solar or construction projects, I absolutely cannot recommend Anthony enough. He restored my belief in humanity again (not an exaggeration). Both my husband and I credit him to blessing our lives during one of the most stressful times of our lives. Thank you, Anthony!!!!!!

I didn't have electricity going to the ceiling, and to make matters worse, I live in a condo without ceiling access. After several people turned me down for the job, Mike came through. Due to the height of the ceilings, Mike and his crew had to assemble scaffolding in my home. He took extra care and precaution to ensure that the hardwood floors weren't scratched. Mike was also extremely communicative and easy to work with throughout the process and explained everything he had to due to ensure the job was done to code. In just one week's time, the wiring, sheet rock repair, painting, and hanging of our three chandeliers was complete. Check out the photo section to see them :-) I cannot stress enough what a high quality and professional job Mike did. I highly recommend Mike and look forward to collaborating with him on future projects!

We hired Mike to install a ceiling fan in our living room, where there was no electrical wiring…read more Mike arrived on time and quickly completed the job. Mike took the time to make sure our living room was completely covered in plastic before starting the job. He did minimal cutting of the dry wall to run the wires. He updated the switch to include the controls for the ceiling fan. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. We are very happy with his work and would definitely hire him again! He did not patch the drywall, but he told us ahead of time that he does not generally do that. My husband is capable in completing this work so it was not a big deal for us. His prices are extremely reasonable and he was able to come on the day we needed him. We plan on hiring him to do more work very soon.

We had a great experience end to end with Miu and Jay. She replied quickly to my request and I knew…read morefrom our phone consultation that it would be a strong partnership. She asked a lot of questions that showed her engagement and interest. We had a general sense of what we wanted for our kitchen remodel and Miu guided us with some ideas and suggestions to polish our vision. Throughout the process they were highly communicative, organized, and regularly dropped in to provide direction to the project team and ask us questions. Each day the project team would clean everything up and vacuum the outdoor area so that our child was protected from construction debris. Being licensed contractors, everything was built to code, which was important for a complete tear down remodel for the kitchen. Their price was about 20-30% lower than the other contractors who came to see the project and the timeline was 2-4 weeks faster. The crazy part is the project was delivered exactly on budget and even a bit earlier than estimated. We love the new kitchen and feel like we bought a new house. It's the best investment we've made to our living space. Thank you so much Bay Modern Build!

We hired them to help us design and remodel our kitchen and second-story porch in our 1914 Oakland triplex. They were great at taking our initial ideas and putting together a clear plan to bring them to life, and they were very willing to fabricate a few custom elements that other firms were spoke with were unwilling to consider. They navigated the byzantine city permitting process with expertise, and once the project was underway, the crew always showed up on time, worked hard all day, and left the job site clean at the end of the workday. When the inevitable hiccups arose, we were so thrilled with the way that Jay and Miu navigated the pitfalls and pivoted to solutions. They were both very communicative about change orders and additional costs. And in the end they finished the project early and on budget! We could not be more thrilled with the results, and would not hesitate to work with Bay Modern Build again and recommend them to anyone considering a major remodel. Thank you Miu, Jay and crew!

We were extremely pleased with the workmanship of the cabinets. He and Justin were very easy to work with and had many great ideas in our process. Small details like creating a spice drawer under our cooktop is an example of the extra touch that makes the kitchen complete. We especially love our soft close cabinets and brand new drawers. His painters and cabinet workers were on time, courteous and always cleaned up after the days work. The finish product exceeding our expectations. We would recommend him highly and have already recommended him to several of our friends who are considering any type of remodel. Looking back at our pictures we cannot believe we did not do this sooner!

Dave and his crew, shout out to Angel, remodeled our 1966 bathroom with custom made cabinets, new wall texture, new paint and new tile, sinks, fixtures... everything! It looks beautiful. We, believe it or not, enjoyed having the guys here working for a few months. Angel was our main worker and what a professional! He truly knows how to do everything and does it well! After the bathroom was finished, they tore out the tile in our entry way and replaced it with hardwood floors. Then they took out ( ripped out/demolished) our flagstone fireplace surround and replaced that with a marble surround. They did a great job on everything and brought us into the 21st century! I am thinking of another project so I can have them back! I highly recommend Dave Fontan and his crew.
