FSP General Contractors
5.0
Review from perspective of first time home owner/buyer who had a long list of projects and home improvements that required a general contractor. I recently purchased a two bedroom home in Mill Valley and after moving in quickly realized that there were a littany of projects that needed to be completed in order to make my new home more comfortable and presentable. I received 3 referrals for different general contractors from friends/family and went on the meet and receive estimates from them. I decided to go with Fred and FSP general contractors for my initial set of priority projects based on my favorable impression of Fred, his fair and straightforward estimates, and clear communication of timelines to both start and complete the initial projects. I decided to continue to work with Fred/FSP for my 2nd/3rd traunch of projects based the high quality of work performed during my first set of projects, adherence to estimates and timelines, and ease of communication during the process. In particular, I appreciated Fred's flexibility with my evolving priorities and his availability to meet/speak/text about questions and/or recomendation pertaining to ongoing work. The work that Fred/FSP did and continues to do for me was diverse but probably representative of the type of work many people are interested in: 1. Remodling of bathroom including istallation of new fixtures and replacement of original tile. 2. A tricky and unusual rebuild of a fireplace and mantle. 3. A custom designed/made concealed wiring scheme for tv mounted over the new fireplace mantle. 4. Replacemant and installation of lighting throughout house. 5. A full review, recomendation (s), and upgrades for electrical integrity of the entrie house. 6. A long list of random tings I thought of along the way! I feel fortunate to have crossed paths with Fred/FSP and will continue to work with them for all home improvement projects moving forward. I highly recommend this company based on the honesty/integrity of Fred and his crew, the adherence to reasonable estimates and timelines, and the high quality of all work performed

Shamus has helped me keep my cabin in good working order. He is responsible, prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. He thinks in a 'big-picture' way, meaning he's a problem-solver. Shamus has helped me numerous times which is great since I live far away from my cabin. I completely trust and appreciate him, and will continue to maintain a connection with him, both professionally as well as personally

Charles was very professional, he showed up a few minutes earlier than expected. He accompanied me to Home Depot to make sure proper materials were bought the first time, didn’t over charge me on his quote. Also made the job seem super easy as any pro would.

We had a great experience working with Doug Hannan, who is a master builder with decades of experience. He is professional, patient, polite, and very fair. He was flexible and responsive while working with our changing plans, and offered quick and clever solutions to our issues. He doesn't waste time or words. In fact, we've never seen anyone work as quickly and efficiently. Even with our changes, he still finished the project ahead of time and on budget. The results are spectacular, and we are very thankful to Doug as we enjoy our beautiful new deck and pergola

These are good guys. Very responsive and professional. We are very happy with rhe work which was completed in a professional, workman like and timely manner. We had a hard time finding a tiler that could handle installing glass tiles and making the diagonal cuts needed. We were so lucky we found Fred. We'll definitely use them for other projects. Highly recommended

Fred and his team at FSP are fantastic. Their work was excellent, they clearly communicated progress and any issues discovered, work was completed on-time and on-budget, and we are planning using them again in our new house.

Excellent Doug is a very skilled craftsman and was able to figure out our challenging roofline of the new home. He always showed up on time and stuck to the schedule. We would definitely hire him again.

Had to have my 1 1/2 year old bathroom floor re-tiled. Original company refused to fix the creaking floor. Rod did a fantastic job in a timely manner. Super happy with the job. Would definitely hire again. Honest, professional and hard worker.

The remodel went very well. The workmen came on schedule and cleaned up well after each day's work. They took the room out to the studs, and re-designed the shower, that is tucked under a staircase, did beautiful tile work, and custom millwork to build two storage drawers in a soffet. I am very happy with the work they did

Texas Engineered Roofing & General Contracting
5.0
We live out of state and were searching for a roofer to replace my mother’s roof. We spent a significant amount of time online researching roofers, interviewing them over the phone, getting inspections, reading online reviews, and speaking with references. We came across all types and eliminated one after the next. Fortunately, we found Texas Engineered Roofing that stood out light years from the rest. We called the company inquiring whether they carried worker’s comp insurance and was provided with a packet that not only included certificates of insurance but also the owner’s credentials, certifications, recent jobs performed, accomplishments, and awards received. That in and of itself made this company stand out from all the others. Everything was so professionally and meticulously prepared, a sign of what was to come. We were very impressed with Brad’s (the owner) knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness, honesty and thoroughness. Brad is extremely qualified; he is a professional engineer to boot. That educational knowledge gave us even more confidence in him. He came at the beginning of the job to inspect the interior of the attic to make sure nothing would be damaged while stapling and to locate where the attic fans should be installed. At the same time he detected other ducts that had to be replaced and completed that repair as well. He was very accommodating with scheduling our job and got the necessary permits in short order. The crew manager (Elias) was on the job from beginning to end. He too provided stellar customer service. He oversaw the project and made sure that quality workmanship was being produced. The crew were very skilled in their tasks, (there was even a dedicated person experienced in turrets) dependable, hardworking, and punctual. They worked in assembly line precision and were very pleasant to be around. The work area was properly prepped and cleaned each day. The job was finished in the agreed upon timeframe. There was no damage to the property or injuries on the job!! They were very easy to work with and immediately responded to any of our concerns. They clearly wanted to make sure that their workmanship warranty would never have to be used. and that the customer would be happy. They took great pride in delivering a top notch roof. We highly recommend them and would use them again

"We would definitely work with Ben again. His attention to detail and overall integrity as a contractor are excellent. He spent plenty of time with us on the front end of the project to select materials and set our expectations for how our kitchen would look when it was done. He helped us choose some special features that made the kitchen special. We were remodeling the kitchen as part of an overall plan to renovate and sell our home, and time got tight at the end of the project when we found another home more quickly than we thought we would. Ben stepped up and did a really good job finishing the final touchups, and we sold our home two days later.

"The price of the job was fair and the work quality was good but not great. They provided very little help in the design and helping pick out materials for the job. All of it was left up to my wife and myself, even thou they stated at the offset that they could help in this area. They also said the total job would only take 3-4 weeks and ended up taking 8 weeks if you count the final cleanup of trash and materials. Communication between client and contractor was weak. In most cases, the contractor would only notify me a day or two ahead when a worker will show up and there could be gaps of 3 or 4 days before I got a call. I would have to call him to fine out what the next schedule work would be. It is hard to plan your day not knowing when they would show up to work on the project. They also push customers to buy pr-fab counter tops because it easier and quickier to fabricate and cut down remodeling time, but I found out it not necessarily in the best interest of the client. The prefab size they recommended did not fit one side of my cabinets and had to buy an oversize piece which cost me 33% more than if I just bought a large slab counter top and had it cut to fit. The estimate of the work and cost is very general and does not give a complete detail of the work involves and the actual hours to finish a specific job. All payments were based on the general estimate and not on any specific detail billing for the payment. I only accepted this method only because I had remodeling work done before and know roughly what cost run. If I was a first timer in remodeling, I might not be so trusting. I do believe that the counter top company which they use on a regular basis is only average. I had a request to clean up the seams where the counter top was glue because it was slightly uneven, the company owner came out and said it was good enough to meet industry standards. What in the **** does that mean? I think a company in the business would want to better then standard and do an excellent job and not just an acceptable job. I didn't want to argue with the guy, so I let it go. The work in fine but the the paper work and billing is weak. Lack of paper trail made it hard for them to figure out how much was paid and what was owed. near they end of the project the contractor asked for my final payment when in fact I actually paid it a week before. The contract is a standard form which is not necessary cover all the work to be done and when installment payments a re to be made. Paper work is not their strong point and kind of a shame for a company that's been in business 20+ years.

"Corona Handyman service was an excellent choice for installing grab bars in the bathroom. My mother was very concerned about the tile in her bathroom cracking when the installation too place. Her home is very old and tile is irreplaceable. Corona handyman service installed the two grab bars and my mom was so happy and relieved that all of her tile was still in tact. He is also just a professional and great guy to work with. My mother will use him again if she needs any more work done in her home for sure!

"Victor Vilatoro runs a family owned painting business. He took over from his father and has carried on the tradition of excellence. Not only did Victor's crew (he has a foreman on each job) complete the work as contracted but went the extra mile by power washing the 23 concrete steps and the stucco walls lining the driveway, plus painted the mailbox to match the house. Then they went on to paint the wrought iron railing leading up to the house at no extra charge. They are the best. Their materials are top of the line. I recommend Victor Villatoro Painting to everyone.

"Linda, Mica and their team are amazing! They did a full demolition of our old laundry shed, built a stone patio and staircase with a custom iron railing, installed a new metal & glass door (which required a new door frame, too), patched the exterior with any missing shingles, and painted the back wall of the house. The team arrived promptly every morning at 8 am, working 5-6 days a week, and did it with smiles on their faces (so kind and friendly!). Linda checked in on our project in person every few days to address any construction challenges her team ran into and to ensure the quality of work was up to her precise standard. Her team started the job within a week of our inquiry and completed the hefty job within just 3 weeks. We could not be happier with the final product - ML Construction gave our old home a clean, contemporary look and gave us more usable backyard space for us to enjoy dinners outside with our kids. We will certainly work with them on any construction projects moving forward. -Lauren & Jeff Lamb (Alameda, CA)
