I am *really* fussy about hiring contractors. So many of them conduct their business sloppily and…read moreunprofessionally I can't believe they stay in business at all. So I do my research and am VERY selective in who I hire when our house needs work. My wife and I hired Andy Fernandes and Adval and they proved to be the real deal. Andy was *always* prompt - every time he or anyone from his company was scheduled to arrive they arrived early. Andy and his crew were communicative, clearly very knowledgeable, and straightforward, which is to say that they told me *and showed me* what was really happening and not what they wanted to promise or what they thought we wanted to hear. And they followed through exactly as they said they would. The quality of their work was outstanding. We had a few kitchen cabinets that had gotten damaged by the 2014 Napa quake and were looking like they were going to fall off the wall. Andy sent over a master carpenter (he spent years building stuff for moneyed people on Martha's Vineyard, who can be quite demanding) who didn't "upsell" us by telling us one of the cabinets needed to be rebuilt (the build cabinet in their own shop), he showed us in detail exactly what the problem was and convinced skeptical me that a new cabinet built from real plywood instead of the particle board of the cabinets the flipper who sold us the house had installed was the way to go. They reused the facing from the old cabinets, so the match was immaculate. Price-wise, yeah, they weren't the cheapest I could have found, but they were most definitely not close to the high end, they were right in the ballpark, and I figure if I demand quality I have to be wiling to pay for it. And we most decidedly got what we paid for. I repeat again that I am VERY picky about contractors, but I unhesitatingly give Adval Construction my highest recommendation. Our job was pretty small, but I would hire them for a big job in a heartbeat. This is the way construction contracting is supposed to work.

When Ulysses arrived to provide an estimate, he brought additional samples, which we were delighted to see. The selection is simply gorgeous and amazing! Our living room had old, worn-out carpet, and the new hard floor complements the adjacent family room perfectly. One thing we wish we had known earlier was to cover our furniture and the rooms next door to prevent dust from circulating throughout the house. Ulysses's team, Rick and Francisco, were professional, punctual, and experts in their field. They truly deserve major kudos! I relax and enjoy my new living room. I highly recommend that others compare different companies, conduct thorough research, and consider patronizing a local business like All About Floors.

Wow, very impressed with Ulysses and his crew! Their professionalism is second to none.

If you are considering having a contractor install new floors with high quality and at a great price, I highly recommend this company!

Kingdom Gates and Fences was really easy and great to work with! A storm blew down a shared fence…read morewhile I was out of town. I looked up local fence repair on Yelp and filled out the quote form on their website. Within minutes I got a call from them! (I must have gotten very lucky with my timing. Please don't expect unrealistic instant replies every time.) They were available to go out there that day to take a look and give me an estimate. Being a shared fence we coordinated with my neighbor. Kingdom is very professional. They had a formal agreement, an itemized invoice, and you can pay through Intuit Quickbooks online. You pay a 10% deposit before the start and the rest at the end of the project. Be aware there is a 3% charge for using card. But you can use ACH to avoid it. They also split the invoice between my neighbor and I. The day of the project start they recommended using steel posts instead of wooden posts due to the weight of the panels. No additional charge. They even took the time to paint the steel posts on my side black to match the panels! I called on Wednesday and by Saturday the fence was repaired! Thank you Kingdom Gates and Fences!

David was the estimator and main contact person while Zerafin and his team did the tear down, haul away and construction. 40 feet of new redwood fence and an added gate. I opted for the steel posts upgrade over the pressure treated 4x4 wood posts as it literally was a small price to pay for even longer term reliability. Thank you! Phenomenal experience.

They asked me to send photos of what I had in mind, I received an estimate, and then we got a date set up. Kyle is very nice and did a great job installing some shelves and fixtures for a "cat wall", basically a cat jungle gym. The price was actually less than what I was quoted and he used better fixtures than what the product came with. Overall, I'm super happy with the service and quality of work I received.

We were scheduled for Wednesday morning. Deb called me Wednesday morning and let me know she was having car troubles and couldn't come. We rescheduled for Friday morning at 10:00. Deb called me Thursday evening to let me know her washer repairman didn't come that day and she would have to now cancel my Friday morning appointment to wait for her washer repairman in addition to her husband having a doctor appointment. It's clear this company either a) doesn't have the time for new clients b) doesn't understand customer service or c) truly doesn't want new business. Unfortunate!
