It was time to replace a deteriorating privacy fence at my home. I decided to replace it with a…read moreblock wall in order to minimize future maintenance. It was shared fence with two other neighbors and they agreed to share in the cost. I asked four different Companies to bid on a new cinder block wall. In the end only two Companies provided quotes. The prices were similar. I chose National Concrete based upon Brian La Fuente and his honest and straight forward approach. The project consisted of demo an existing wood fence and build a 219 linear feet cinder block wall with Orco split face blocks. The National Concrete team for my project was 3 highly skilled and very efficient craftsmen. I was amazed at the fast pace of the work for only three guys. They did not take short cuts. The crew worked straight through on the job. In the end it took four weeks to complete the fence including all city inspections. I think the work quality was top notch. Brian La Fuente and the guys at National Concrete were reliable and a pleasure to work with. Brian and the crew were always respectful and very responsive to my requests during the project. Very pleased with the end result. I would highly recommend Brian and the National Concrete crew for your concrete project.

Brian was ~7 mins earlier waiting in his pickup truck when we met onsite for the first time. He was polite, professional, and he listened very carefully. He got back to me by EOD first day we met whether my original plan needs a city permit or not, as well as all the additional expenses and the timeline. I interviewed 3 other contractors for the same project before Brian. All of them gave wishy washy answers when I asked about permit. Brian was the only one who provided me clear and professional answer to this question. I knew I would work with this gentleman at that very moment. As to time management, Brian was also great. He started working on the project on the exact day he promised, and finished it as scheduled as well. When there was any change, he would keep me posted without me having to ask anything. I appreciate this very much, as I waited for months beyond the original start date with another contractor who seems popular on Yelp, yet ended up being told to find someone else cuz he was too busy. Several months were wasted and everything got more expensive at that point. Brian is very responsive and thorough. He has very high standards for himself as well as the team. Whenever you raise a concern, he'll deal with it instantly and deliver results. He really means it when he says he wants everything perfect. You can tell he really enjoy doing what he's been doing and is very good at it. We got so much compliment from neighbors when the project is completed. Even some strangers passing by would stop to say "Nice work". I would have no hesitation to recommend Brian and his team to anyone.

Then, I got a slab leak. No choice but to do something. I have two bathrooms. At the time, they could have been on "world's worst bathrooms"; hideous 1970's "décor" with disco lighting and stained, pattern linoleum flooring. The shower stall had a plastic, accordion-style door with magnets on each end (who DOES that?!). I figured, whatever a contractor does, can't be worse. Then, I found Zachi of S & B Construction on yelp. Best thing I ever did for my home was to call Zachi. My house and my quality of enjoyment of it, and my view of what a contractor can be, have completely and utterly changed. I could tell from the moment he came over to do the bid he was great, and he only exceeded all my expectations throughout the job. He and his team completely gutted both baths, and now I have two bathrooms that are essentially luxury hotel baths. They are beautifully done (everyone says so!). He put in stone tile showers (with glass accent tile - it's so awesome!), a deep soaking tub, custom glass shower doors, stone floors, wood vanities with granite countertops, and custom lighting. They're bright and colorful (that's my taste!), and it makes me happy just to enter the rooms. The job was done from start to finish in three weeks. Yes, that fast! That included Zachi arranging for the plumbing inspections and everything. We never had to worry about any of it! Zachi was there every step of the way, from design (he met up with us to buy the materials - it was great!) to finishing touches, and we could not have done it without him. Actually, his intuition is terrific, because he even had some better ideas than we did! I liked all the workers on his team. They were polite and courteous, very hard working, and always on time. Zachi was constantly supervising their progress, as well as always available and responsive to questions. Here's what I'm certain of. Zachi wants the customer to be happy. I asked lots of questions and wanted specific things. I only ever had to ask for something once; Zachi ALWAYS remembered without my reminding him of things and always got them done! Even things I just mentioned once during the bid got done. This is important, too. He always left us with a "usable" house during the renovation. Although he did both baths, he staggered the demolition and renovation, so we always had the basic facilities. At night and especially on weekends, he'd make sure the house was cleaned up enough for us to do what we needed. Budget? The job was done to the budget on the nose (I went over by a few hundred, because I picked out an extra accent tile), even though things happened (e.g., the plumber had to put in an access panel for one of the showers). The budget was extremely detailed (way more than any others we had been given), so you knew exactly what to expect. Amazing! On a personal level, Zachi is smart, super nice and pleasant to work with. I can't thank Zachi enough. Bad day at work, I head to my gorgeous soaking tub, the world falls away and aaaahhhhh! Can't beat that. I love my house. Actually, it's more of a home now. Because of Zachi. You'd be very lucky to work with him. So, Zachi, there's this matter of my kitchen, now...

He was fast and professional and in and out of my house 3 times within 3 days in total and both sets of shower sliding doors are now fixed. He charges by hours, but his charge was very ethical and reasonable. I felt that he undercharged me. We hadn't used one of the showers for years because the shower doors were falling apart, so I am so grateful that it's finally fixed.

In November 2025, I decided that my 60 ft. redwood fence had to be replaced. Approximately 40 years…read moreold, it had been aging with grace until the last few years. The wood was severely damaged by wood beetles, storms, wind, rain and overall decaying wood. I spoke with a representative from Jacob Construction who confirmed that they do specialize in this type of project. I booked an appointment for a free assessment. I previously sought out other companies who gave me extremely high estimates of what a fence of this size would cost using redwood. One estimate as hight as 28k. Arriving on time was a professional gentleman, Leo, who understood my need for a new fence and the best way to begin this project. We spoke at length and I had some pleasant surprises. Leo was quick to assess the safety factors and the practicality of a certain type of fence. Above all, he had different resources for my situation, for keeping the fence at a reasonable price. This company really knows their business! THEY ARE WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH! I live in a house that was built in 1950 and was partially rebuilt after an electrical fire in 2017. After assessing the status of my home, they proceeded to ask me more about the foundation considering the year the home was built. The foundation, crawl space and sub-floor was in tact after the fire, but in all those years the original foundation had never been updated. I live on the coast, south of San Francisco, California and earthquake concerns are very real. Leo was able to offer me a free inspection, considering the possible hazard risks, I agreed and the inspection definitely was a blessing. After viewing photos of a crack and the lack of supports to the existing structure, a retrofitting was definitely needed as a preventative measure. Leo and Joseph met with me and explained all the details, answered all of my questions. We reached an agreement and the work was completed and passed a city inspection. They assessed my home with the goal of making it as safe as possible and preventing further very expensive mishaps. I appreciated their approach which undoubtedly would have cost me more than I can imagine. I have a policy with the California Earthquake Authority. I am now able to activate a reduced annual cost due to proactive repair against possible damage. I have rental properties and am quite aware of the need to hire construction people you can trust. I would not hesitate to hire Jacob Construction again. To be explicit, Leo, as Project Manager and Joseph as V.P. completed a superb project in every way. The crews were real pros. They were detail oriented and timely. They kept a clean, organized, professional work site. The overall workmanship was excellent. This includes the retrofitting project as well. Leo and Joseph were able to work with me on a price that I could handle! Who could ask for more than that?

Thankfully, Joseph was able to also communicate with them in Korean which made it easier for my parents to communicate everything they wanted. That was a HUGE relief! They underwent a major renovation (all new floors, gut-renovated the kitchen, gut-renovated all bathrooms, knocked down walls to expand space, new ceiling/lighting fixtures, etc). The finishes were impeccable and my absolute favorite feature were the heated wood floors in the living room/family room. My parents' house was always freezing and this was such a lovely feature so we don't have to blast the heater or turn on the fireplace. We shopped around quite a bit (I'm all about finding the best deal!) and for the quality of the work and the glowing reviews (a friend referred us), we found their pricing to be incredibly competitive. I'm also queen of complaints so I went through to find any possible issues and I'm really surprised at how happy I am with the work. It literally feels like my parents moved in to a brand new home. Very happy with the results and highly recommend!

Firstly, Craig and Tim were both great to work with. I felt comfortable with both of them from the start. I am a meticulous DIYer, and have high expectations for the work on my house. I also wanted to do some pieces of the projects myself to save some money. They worked around my schedule, and we were able to do everything we wanted. We asked to have regular meetings to connect about plans and progress and to go over any work. Whenever there was something we wanted fixed, they were quick to take action and made things right. They were also always happy to take a call or answer a text, and they kept us in the loop every step of the way. Because I'm used to doing it all myself, and they were usually working while I was away, this really helped me to feel a part of what was going on! Not only was the quote we received from Strong Builders VERY competitive, they stayed on budget! Any increases were due to choices we made along the way and were always talked about in advance. We knew just what to expect and there were no surprises at the end. The whole team was friendly and polite. My wife always felt safe at home while they were there, and I appreciated what a clean job site they kept. I was also impressed with some of their creative solutions to challenges in the project. We highly recommend requesting George for any tile project you might have. He worked with precision and always checked to make sure we were satisfied. We were annoyingly particular and he happily met our OCD-like expectations! Donado (sp?) was their jack-of-all-trades and around all the time. Everyone was really pleasant and many felt like friends by the end of things! The whole thing did take longer than we expected, however, all along the way we told the fellas that we didn't mind wait, as long as things were done well! But we feel that it's worth mentioning for full disclosure. We would absolutely recommend you give Strong Builders a call for your next project!
