His vast experience and attention to details helped see potential issues ahead of time which eliminated unnecessary delays. Our project included some challenging structural work and Wayne took care of it like it was not a problem at all (even though I know he worked really hard to make it all work). Wayne was able to perform all the contracted work per the contracted budget and was accommodating when it came to extras not included. The final product is the dream kitchen we had envisioned during the design stage. We could not be happier with the outcome!

The Cabinet Center from San Ramon suggested we try Wayne from Christian Construction to carry out…read moreour kitchen remodel. When he came over for the introductory visit, he was very knowledgeable and had lots of references. We signed up on the basis of that visit alone not realizing that signing up for Christian Construction is signing up for Wayne himself. That, we think, is an enormous plus point. Most contractors give you their spiel but then farm everything out to people who may or may not know their stuff. With Christian Construction you get Wayne and Wayne is very knowledgeable, very handy - a real craftsman of which there are very few left - , very resourceful, very honest, approachable, and very customer-oriented. He is very meticulous about everything he does and when he is not fully satisfied with something, he redoes it (free of charge). When we did not like how something looked (he had followed the design and we did not realize what the design really entailed), he took it all down and came up with a solution that we really liked. He really does wonders with wood. In addition, having installed many kitchens and baths, he gives very good advice about the little things like the placements of handles, lights, the ideal distance between cabinets etc. Since he is THE person, his clients deal with everyday, he has amassed a trove of ideas, and we were never disappointed when we took his advice. It was always just right. Wayne takes customer-friendliness and customer respect to a new level. He cannot be more approachable than he actually is. He came out late on a weekend night to light our gas water heater, even though I was the one who had previously told him it was an electrical water heater. He also installed appliances just so that we could live somewhat comfortably even though he would later have to take them out again. He installed our exhaust hood at least 3 times in order to help us out, knowing he would have to take it out again once the back splash came in. He really went out of his way to help us at every turn. Frankly, I have never met a contractor like him. Also, he sees himself as the contractor even for those jobs for whom the client contracted someone else. He went out of his way to help us with and be our advocate with the people who installed our counter tops and back splash, and appliance providers. When the people who delivered our cabinets, dropped one cabinet and broke it, he and Cecilia from the Cabinet Center dealt with them and Wayne installed the broken one in our garage, after having it reinforced for a small cost. However, there were many, many small extra things he did for us free of charge and he was always available, even on weekends. We called him up a number of times on weekends, to get his advice before we bought something for the kitchen. When we update our bathroom, Wayne will be our contractor. Greta - San Ramon

My wife and I delayed doing "the major remodel" for years because we had heard all the horror…read morestories. But the time had definitely come, and the perfect rental house fell into our laps in our neighborhood. So we decided to move forward and hired our architects. We were going to use a general contractor who had done some other remodels in our neighborhood. But our architects highly recommended Nick so we interviewed him as well. This was a major remodel, full kitchen with an addition, major structural changes throughout, full remodel of two bathrooms, a new deck and porch, new windows, in short, basically the works. From the first interview, it was evident that Nick knew what he was doing. He had thoughtful suggestions across the board and always provided a reasonable and pragmatic point of view. We decided to go with Nick, and it was the best decision we made. Nick managed to bring in our remodel on budget, on time, and with impeccable workmanship, all while dealing with the major obstacles of COVID19 and the shelter-in-place. It was quite incredible that he got it done. Nick is not overly dependent on subcontractors, and he knows how to line things up from a timing perspective and press those involved in the job so things run relatively smoothly and get done on time. At bottom, Nick is just a real pro, and I couldn't recommend him more highly. And to top it off, he is a good guy too!

How often do you hear these words about a general contractor? "I love my contractor and I cannot…read moresay enough good things about him". Any time anyone asks me about Nick, that is exactly what they hear from me. Nick Calder and his crew remodeled our 100+ year old home, adding a bedroom, a bathroom and an entry hall as well as updating the kitchen, putting in recessed lighting, painting, moving some walls around,and building a brand new two car garage. Initially we were concerned because he was the lowest of the four bids that we received, but after several conversations with his previous clients, we were convinced that Nick was our guy. And we were right. Nick is a very stand up straightforward person, who takes real pride in his work. When the inevitable hiccups came up, he handled them head on, made great suggestions and did everything at a reasonable cost. He has an amazing crew, who are careful conscientious and real artisans. We are so happy with the work they did and by the end (because we were living in the house while they finished up) they felt like family. I recommend him to anyone I know who is looking to do work on their home and in the the very unlikely event that we go through the remodel process again, I would hire him in a heartbeat.

I originally hired RF Construction to do a driveway replacement and new retaining wall project,…read morethen cancelled the retaining wall portion for the time being. I talked with four good contractors, but Felix (RF Construction) provided the best bid - knowledgeable, responsive, and at a reasonable price. He and his crew did an outstanding job on the driveway, disposing of the cracked concrete and replacing with a great-looking paver block design. Felix was meticulous in placing the blocks, and the result is fantastic! Afterwards, we talked over some possible modifications to my original retaining wall project, and I asked for his help to make it happen - which he and his crew once again did.

While at the time it felt like a headache, today we feel so fortunate to have DCB in our corner. From the start Barry was quick to understand our goals, priorities, and needs for our new space. We hit MANY speed bumps throughout the build-- strange floor adhesive, permitting woes, old ceilings etc. When challenges arose, Barry was quick to propose creative solutions to keep our project on track. A cornerstone (punny!) of a good contractor is the relationship they have with their sub-contractors. It is clear that DCB is well-respected and a firm that their collaborators are eager to keep happy. As the client, we never found ourselves in the position of having to "put our food down" or "demand more." If it was needed, DCB was a mile ahead of us resolving the issue and clearly communicating our path forward. Throughout the whole process I really felt like DCB treated our office as though it was their own. They looked for opportunities to make it better even if it meant more work for their team. Barry and his team expertly balance cost, time, and quality to create an awesome end product. I would recommend DCB without reservation!
