His attitude is great, and his communication is excellent. For me that's a big deal with contractors. Proactive communication and clear timelines. We've been working with them for over a year now on various stages of remodeling and lately construction of a new deck integrated with an old one and burly enough to handle a large hot tub. Highly recommend Brett and Crazy Viking Construction.

I hired Mark for a medium-sized remodeling project (about 6 weeks) . He provided a low estimate…read morecompared to other bids. He then said that his workers were all covered by Worker's Comp, among other benefits, and that he paid a fair wage, and that he was the most ethical contractor in the industry, resulting in his workers' being highly productive and efficient leading to shorter project times. This sealed the deal for me. Furthermore, he claimed that the extra 30% or so that he was billing for his workers, was due of the worker's comp insurance, which only he provided to his workers (as opposed to the many unscrupulous other contractors that were around). As a property owner, you could be held liable for workers' injuries if the contractor did not carry worker's comp, and so, I agreed to Mark's deal. Within a few days, Mark had exceeded the estimate he had quoted, and was very difficult to get hold of. Furthermore, his workers would come and go at all times of the day (between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm) and I simply lost track of how many "cooks" were in the kitchen. As of last count, I noticed some 15+ names on the invoices, and some would appear for a couple of hours, and then disappear. But Mark would send me invoices claiming that his workers spent the entire day at the property - which was simply untrue. Mark would not be interested in even listening to me or investigating my grievances. Instead, he would brag that he did me a big favor by accepting my project, and that he typically only did multi-million dollar gigs, and not pittances like mine. Long story short, the project budget exceeded the estimate by more than 100%. Mark became extremely aggressive and feisty, and it was impossible to work or reason with him. I hired a Private Investigator to find out who this person really was -- like a Dr. Jekyl Mr. Hyde. Turns out that he had been sued for fraud, but more importantly, the whole worker's comp, fairness, ethical contractor, and so on, charade, was ALL ONE BIG LIE. It also appears that Mark may have left the Better Business Bureau due to bad reviews and that he may have hired a reputation defending company to increase his Yelp reviews to 5 stars by questionable tactics. Good Guy Builders license has been suspended for Worker's Comp violations and is under investigation. After my PI reported this, I found on the CSLB site: "License is under suspension for failure to comply with Workers Comp. A workers´ compensation certificate or exemption statement may have been received by the Board but not yet processed. Once the certificate or exemption statement is processed the suspension will be lifted retroactively to the effective date of the certificate or exemption statement. Ask the contractor for proof of worker's compensation and contact the insurance company to verify coverage." Here is the URL: https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/LicenseDetail.aspx?LicNum=1016932 Please see image below. This is one of the greatest betrayals where I was charged an arm and a leg, and told a romantic story of workers being taken good care of, and so on, all the while, when Mark was simply pocketing the money that was supposed to cover his workers' safety and well being. Such greed, deception, and dishonesty, in my opinion, does not deserve a second chance. You decide whether you want to hire this company and deal with Mark. --- Addendum to Mr. Santosh R's note: 1. I am a real person. I was threatened by Mark that I would be sued if I posted anything negative on Yelp. 2. Yes, I did edit my posts before finally settling on one. Anyone in my position would do the same. 3. Finally, the facts remain unchanged. Good Guy Builder's license is under suspension and this may be independently verified on the CSLB website (see link). Likewise, the lawsuits against them may be independently verified. People like Santosh and Mark are the real culprits who boost their yelp ratings in a manner that skews it in their favor - by attacking anyone who posts negative reviews, and threatening those in dispute with defamation lawsuits. Do not believe anything Santosh or Mark say. The suspension is more than ample evidence that Good Guy Builders is a crooked business and not one that you should be patronizing.

Very fair value and personal service, and they got the job done in a very timely manner- we LOVE how our kitchen turned out. Would recommend Sonoma County Carpentry to anybody looking to have remodel work done. We will be reaching back out to SCC when it is time to do our bathrooms!

Now that the Holidays are behind us, I can finally write this review. Long story short, we had a…read morepipe break under our main bathroom which also involved sewage. Following the remediation work authorized by the insurance company, we decided that this unfortunate event gave us the opportunity to completely remodel our all original 1961 bathroom. I began looking for contractors and reading the reviews on Yelp. I selected three, two from Yelp and one which was a referral. Uriah, owner of Hawkins Remodeling & Repair, responded quickly to my request and set up a date and time that worked wonderfully with our schedule. He arrived as scheduled and we toured my complete wreck of a bathroom. He took measurements, pictures and we talked all while he took notes of everything including what our vision was. He asked questions and offered suggestions including installing a new bathroom door. Uriah sent back a proposal just a couple days later and while I was still waiting for the last contractor. In the end, we just liked everything Uriah and his company had to offer and selected them for the remodel. We agreed on a start date the Monday following Thanksgiving. Uriah asked if he could come over the on the weekend prior to drop of the dump trailer as the bathroom was going to be gutted with a lot of debris, so this made perfect sense. On Monday, Uriah and his team members, Carlos and Miguel, showed up promptly and right away began working by masking all the carpeted area with plastic sheeting where they would be travelling on. They also set up their 'shop' in our backyard for the duration of the project. Every day I came home to an extensive transformation. We had a lot going on in this little old bathroom including a faux divider wall removed, replacing the window with an obscure double pane window, which I asked for at the last minute. They were also moving electrical outlets and extending the plumbing height to accommodate our new fixtures but more so for all the tall bodies living in our house. They removed our existing cast iron bathtub, preserving it as we were having it refinished, so they removed it entirely so they could reinforce the main beams and redo the subfloor. Do you know how heavy those tubs are? Also, did I mention that this was a 1961 original AND was built on adobe? This means nothing in our home is level! Carlos and Miguel handled every challenge that was thrown their way. Uriah checked in with me on a regular basis and discussed any potential problems or issues that his team discovered and offered suggestions or solutions. It was very refreshing to know they just wanted it done right and for us to be completely satisfied. Near the end, we had the tub resurfaced and no one was allowed in the bathroom for two days following as it needed to cure. I didn't want to lose them for a that time, so I asked Uriah if they could replace our back patio slider, which too was old in need of replacing. He quickly gave me a bid, I accepted, and the team installed a beautiful new patio slider. It should be noted that it was pouring rain too! They came to finish up on the final pieces and what an amazing Christmas gift it was! I can't recommend Hawkins Remodeling & Repair enough. They truly transformed a "beast" into a "beauty". Thank you, Uriah, Carlos, and Miguel (The Hawkins crew)! We look forward to working on another project with you in the future!

Whether a big renovation project or something on the smaller side, Rantissi Construction is truly…read morethe best of the best! They are a small licensed crew and Lou and Alex are two of the kindest, most professional, creative guys that are not only wonderful at their craft- but they are solution oriented, fairly priced and well connected in the community with other professionals in the field. We recently purchased a home in Petaluma that needed some major TLC and Rantissi Construction made our visions come to life within budget and on the timeline we had created together. We weren't living locally at the time, but we were still fully part of the process via excellent communication through text and email and they shared many progress photos along the way! Once we arrived to town, the guys still had a bit of work to do and it was so easy and comfortable being in the house with them with our three very young children in tow and everything! I know finding a great crew to work with that meets your needs, can be an overwhelming process and so insanely expensive and our experience was the opposite! My husband and I cannot recommend Rantissi Construction enough. Below are a couple of before and after pictures. Lou Rantissi: 707-396-7472

Lou listened to what I needed done and was able to accommodate all my requests. I had been working…read moreon a kitchen renovation and there were some things that needed improving and some other jobs I never knew I needed an additional contractor for. When I met with Lou he came and accessed what work needed to be done, he would be installing doors on my laundry room and converting it in to a pantry aswell as installing a backsplash for countertops that had been installed. In addition to that I requested a custom closet, a repair on a pocket door in bathroom and replacement of weather stripping on bottom of front door. He said no problem to all of it, came back with an estimate within 2 days and was ready to get started the following week. He always stayed in good communication and cleaned up well after every job. Lou and his partner were non intrusive and always kind in their interactions. I would recommend them for a variety of jobs for they seem to be quite knowledgeable in many areas. During this renovation I have dealt with many contractors and I would gladly say I would do business with them again

My husband and I are real estate investors in the Napa Area. We bought 2 multi family properties…read morethat needed extensive remodeling. Luckily, the seller of one of the properties recommended Tony to us. Before we hired him, I asked him for 3 references. I called all 3, and each one of them only had exceptional things to say about not only the quality of his work, but his efficiency, price, and most importantly his character and integrity of his work. Needless to say, we hired him. Since that first project, I ONLY work with RDZ construction for all our rental properties. This is a list of the projects he has done for us: - remodeled 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms - completely remodeled a 1 bd/1ba apartment - new roof and gutters - converted an old 1920s detached garage into a studio (included new plumbing and new electrical) - installation of wall and window AC units In addition to these major projects, he has been always available for minor handyman projects in all of our properties. I highly recommend Tony and his company to anyone looking for a contractor. He does quality work which he stands by, his price is extremely competitive, he gives great suggestions on how we can save money, he gets the projects done very fast, and he is an all around kind human being with a great personality. We still have several projects that need to be done in the next year or so which includes painting the exterior of our properties, cutting down large trees, and splitting a single family home into 2 separate units. We plan on hiring RDZ construction for all of our projects in the future!

And the final quote came in at $150K for our tiny kitchen. I went and solicited several other quotes and ALL of them came in at half the amount of his quote for the same scope of work.
