Original review: Requested some quotes for multiple projects around the house, and even have the materials for said projects. The team seemed very nice, and in person was eager to offer insight, advice and told me they'd get back to me for a labor only quote. they dropped off planet earth after that. Sent a message 3 days after originally seeing them, and now a week later the radio silence is loud and clear. I guess if money cant be made on materials, they are not interested ...

I wasn't sure how the rebuild should be done, but I had a few ideas. Jason was an excellent sounding board. I laid out my top priorities and how I thought they could be handled. He was easy to collaborate with, and whenever we hit practical limits to my vision, he was honest, clear, and quick to propose workable alternatives. His team showed up when they said they would and cleaned up every day, which made a big difference while living in the house during the job. They were also accommodating and able to work around four other projects I was managing in the house at the same time. The project did run a little longer than expected, but it was a negligible trade-off for the result: a bathroom that genuinely feels like something out of a magazine. What started as a plan to gain a bit of space and fix aging plumbing ended in something much better. I actually love taking showers again. Jason and his team delivered, big time. Only thing left now is saving enough to get him to do the rest of my house.

This review was originally about their rental business, but the same people work for both companies…read moreand there is overlap. Don't do business with the Palmieris. Buckle in because I'm about to take you on a wild ride through my experiences renting for a year from Liz and John. I'm sure they'll offer some half-hearted reply attempting to contradict what I say in this review, but at the end of the day I have the texts to back it up. I also believe I was a good tenant: I paid my rent on time and never missed a month. I lived at 3403 Dawson with four other people during 2019-2020. I'll give you a quick rundown of the landlords: John and Liz work together, but John mainly supervises renovations while Liz deals with tenants. Liz would randomly perform spot-checks of the house under the guise of coming in to "collect our rent checks". When we said that made us uncomfortable and we were more comfortable putting them in the mailbox for her at the front of our house, she said that was unnecessary and the random audits continued. However, we realized that when she came in, sometimes she'd turn our AC up. You see, they had written into the lease that they'd pay for electricity and air conditioning, so these spot-checks were opportunities for her to adjust the thermostat to try and save some money. Speaking of their electrical penny-pinching, when my roommates and I wanted to get a fish and five-gallon tank during quarantine, Liz told us the only way they'd allow it was if we agreed to pay them $20 a month "to offset the rise in their electricity bill". For those of you who haven't ever owned a fish, a five gallon fish tank is about the size of a small bowl and doesn't use power. One day, we came home to find our beloved porch table missing. Only after asking Liz if she saw anyone stealing our table did we find out that they had brought a truck to haul away the table because the neighbor didn't like the way it looked. I'm not kidding. The table wasn't exactly something you'd find at a three-star Michelin restaurant, but we were broke college kids and it's all we could afford. Call me crazy, but I believe if you're going to have the balls to silently destroy your tenants' property, you should probably have the decency and integrity to at the very least tell them. Here's my absolute favorite story about these landlords. While we were juggling college classes during quarantine and the pandemic, Liz asked us to move out a few weeks earlier than our lease end date because they wanted extra time to perform renovations. What had actually happened was Liz had made a mistake: she had promised the next group of tenants that they could move in early before asking us. We said no, and John and Liz pestered us until finally we agreed to meet in person to discuss it. When we told them we had already made plans to move out on the last day of our lease, they showed their true colors. Liz stormed out of the house and slammed the door yelling something about how "karma is a b****" and we'd "eventually find out". John took a less-explosive approach and tried convincing us that technically the dates on our lease were wrong, and that we needed to "go by what they said" and not the legal documents. When that didn't work, they tried holding the fact that they gave us $200 off our rent in the month of April over our heads. Finally, about a day later John offered us $2,000 to move out early. Although we had already made plans with moving companies, we were broke college students and we decided to agree to their terms but ask for it in writing. After being shifty about putting it in writing, not a day later John went back on his word and decided he had changed his mind: no more deal. You be the judge of what that implies. Say what you want about John and Liz, but I will say they're good at one thing: pretending they're someone they're not. For landlords that spent the whole year pretending they were the only good landlord in Oakland and reputable people of their word, they made us realize that they were just like every other slumlord in Oakland.

After not showing up there was little communication on his end, no response, etc. The steps were finally started in August of 20. The railing wasn't put up until Sept of 20 (took payment), but not completed. Steve has my additional railing pieces & was supposed to finish the job as the manufacturer sent him multiple parts and he confirmed he had the right ones to finish. Then started the 9 month ordeal of him stating he would be out on "X" next week to finish, never came, didn't answer his phone, respond to texts, etc for weeks/months at a time. He had "family" excuses so I tried to be understanding & held off on filing a dispute. He continues to blow me off with constant excuses on why he doesn't show and has asked me to delay filing with the BBB and leaving a negative review, that he "promises" he will be out (and still hasn't showed). I would not recommend going with Precision Cement. While the work they did complete, was standard - the probability of them completing the whole job that was paid for and having the communication skills of anything better than a 3rd grader are slim to none...

We chose Rick and Gregor Roofing to replace our roof after getting g estimates from other vendors…read more For us it came down to: solid reputation, knowledgeable crew, and fair pricing. We also loved that it's a family business...one that was recommended directly from my dad (Gregor redid his roof years ago). For the initial meeting and estimate, Rick gave us a wealth of information. He knew more about my roof that I did from walking around my home. He recommended a few different improvements including an attic fan and gave us options to extend the life of our existing roof or replace it entirely. We ultimately opted for a new roof and gutters to mitigate our water issues and extend the life of our home. Prior to the start, Rick consulted on color choices and made recommendations that would be the best for our home. The team was flexible on timing of the project to work around some other work, and from the time they started the project they completed the the roof work in 3 days -- and that crew worked hard to make it happen! The crew was super respectful helping move things if we needed to get in or out of the house and knowledgeable when we asked any questions. We love our new roof and we honestly couldn't recommend them enough! If you need a roof, gutters, or more -- Gregor is your next call!

Gregor Roofing did my son's roof last year and he was pleased with the work. I would recommend this company with 10 stars!
