Almeida & Son Painting & Construction Inc

ALMEIDA & SON WERE PHENOMENAL! RESPONDED TO MY PHONE CALL WITHIN THE HOURS, AND PROVIDED QUOTE REQUEST SAME DAY. CREW WAS CONSCIENTIOUS ABOUT CLEAN UP AND MAINTAINED AN EFFECIENT OPERATION. THEY WERE THOROUGH IN THEIR PREP WORK AND APPLICATION OF PAINT. DOOR WASPAINTED A RED, AND MOST CAUTIOUS ABOUT NOT SPREADING THE COLOR OTHER THAN ON THE DOOR! :) WOULD HIRE AGAIN IN A HEART BEAT CANT RECALL APPROX DATE OF SERVICE; OCCURRED IN SPRINGTIME

It all went as planned and Dennis was very communicative about what to expect each step of the way.

great; would hire again

Dennis is very responsive and knowledgeable. He came to give us estimate in a timely manner and was very patient to revise his estimate as we added more tasks since he was able to do all that we needed. Dennis and his team show up promptly everyday and cleaned up after the day's work. We are very satisfy with their work and is considering Almeida & Son for our next project, remodeling our kitchen.

We needed to remodel our original 1971 kitchen. We got one quote for $50,000 and another for $14,000 to do a reface. I called a well referenced firm in Hayward and they had a 10 month waiting list Based on Angie's List reviews, we contacted Almeida and Sons. Dennis Almeida came and measured our kitchen and gave us a very reasonable quote of around $13,500. Later, with changes I requested, it came up to $15,500. Almeida and Sons has a showroom in Stockton where they have a wide variety of cabinets, sinks, faucets, counter tops, drawer hardware, sinks, etc. We met Dennis there to pick out our cabinets, counter tops, faucet, sink and drawer handles and floor tiles. We paid in advance for the cabinets so Dennis could order. About 4 weeks later they began work. The first day they demolished the kitchen. Angel and his crew were quick and efficient and cleaned up thoroughly after the demo. After the demo, we found some mold in the sheet rock. Angel and crew removed and replaced the moldy sheet rock. Thankfully, the wood was ok. Over the next two weeks .. yes two weeks, Angel and crew built out the kitchen which included sunken LED lights and removal of old 1971 lights, adding new electrical outlets to conform with code, moved refridgerator water feed and electrical connections. They also repainted and put in new baseboards where the old were removed to fit the kitchen. Dennis stopped by every day to check on progress. He was also very good about emailing status. They showed up on time every day except one and Dennis emailed and called to make sure we knew they would be late. They cleaned up every day. We were amazed by our new kitchen at a very reasonable cost. For the cost of a new Ikea kitchen, I think we got better quality. Soft closing drawers and cabinets, pull out shelving, quartz counter top, new garbage disposal. Note that this cost did not include new appliances. We bought those separately at Sears. I would heartily recommend Almeida and Sons for kitchen or bath remodeling!

Quick response to request for proposal, good estimate. Showed up and painted the house on time and on budget.

My job was a little more difficult than expected, but they worked thru it with a smile.

The project went extremely well. Dennis and his crew were prompt, courteous, and professional in all phases of the project. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding...we could not be happier. We are already planning our next project with Alameida and Son.

It has always gone well, and so Dennis has done multiple jobs for me and I am in the process of planning my next one. Always very happy with his communication, pricing and follow up and everyone that works with him has been professional, courteous and gone the extra mile.

Dennis delivered on everything he said he would. His crew was always professional and we worked with the same people for the whole job (total opposite of the last guy, who cycled through people like crazy...very unnerving to have so many different people in your house). We love our kitchen. He was flexible on payment methods (important for us since the first guy took all the money we saved for this). Couldn't be happier, already asking him to come back to quote the next project.

Excellent work, clean, professional, and on time. Dennis had great design suggestions, listened to our concerns and dealt quickly with issues and concerns.

Dennis and his team did a great job on all of the projects.  Quality of work is high. I am overall happy with the results. I have received several positive comments from friends and family who visited my home. Dennis was also responsive to any follow ups that were needed after the projects were completed.  I would hire him again for future home improvement projects.

We started engaging with Dennis in Sep.2014, and have done our kitchen,dining,master bathroom, kids bathroom remodel in phases. Dennis and his crew are true professionals in every sense of the word. Dennis knows his job, is reasonable with the pricing, and above all is trustworthy. We would trust Dennis with the keys to our house.
Dennis started with the painting and crown molding install, in our family/dining rooms and then moved on to the kitchen remodel. The quality of work is really great, especially the tile and crown modeling. We purchased the Merit Cabinets through Dennis, and they are holding up well, and look great.  They then did our bathroom remodels, which involved total demo, including removal of sheet rock in the wall and ceilings, new doors, cabinets etc. Dennis also put in new insulation on the attic space over the bath room. Overall, we had a real sense of fulfillment when everything was completed. Dennis is very receptive to any changes or suggestions along the way, even after the work has progressed. 
We still have more work including our first floor remodel, and plan on having Dennis and his crew handle it. 

We had some dry rot on our bathroom floor and needed an update/remodel to the room.  Our experience with Dennis and his crew was very positive.  They arrived on time, kept to schedule, were kind to my dog, were careful to minimize dirt and dust to other areas of the house, did excellent work and explained to me various options.

Great work, friendly workers, great overall experience.

Dennis was always prompt and professional.  He addressed my concerns as soon as I brought them up.  I am so very satisfied
with the finished product.  Thank you, Dennis, for making this a great experience.

Very happy with owner and crew.  They were professional, on time, clean and they performed quality work.  They provided good feedback to design decisions and were able to complete the job by the date requested.  We are definitely considering them for other bathroom remodel.

Dennis was very congenial and easy to work with.  He was even able to start the job a couple of days earlier than his original comittment.  He and his crew were on time.  They did a great job of protecting the surrounding areas from dust and debris.  The cost was right on target with his original estimate, plus we got an Angie's List discount.  Most important - the finished job is beautiful.

Dennis was very professional in his quotes and follow ups.  I contracted with him to paint the interior of the house, and also the kitchen cabinets. Walls and ceilings were painted with two coats of Kelly Moore paint and look great. The issue is the quality of the other work and general clean up. Previously the kitchen cabinets and trim were a dark drown, he assured me that he would use a heavy duty primer. I am very disappointed in the outcome of the kitchen cabinets & door trim and as you can see brown through the new lighter color paint. He came back to perform touch up's , as the bottom of the cabinets were not painted, but the quality of the workmanship is very poor. Examples : electrical plugs/outlets/switches were taped and left for us to remove. All wall plates were thrown out, and I had to replace. In the contract, he stated that he would mount new knobs and pulls, which he did. But the sawdust from the holes was still left on top of the microwave and on the floor. Paint was dropped into two sets of blinds. Slats stuck together, tried to unstick, now both sets need to be replaced. Paint dropped on the bottom of the mirror closet doors and not removed.







Where the ceiling stopped and top of wall started, paint was not level, very eye catching. No caulking was performed  on the trim.

Great! Dennis provided an estimate quickly and scheduling the job was a breeze. He and his crew arrived on time and spent the first day power washing, caulking and sanding. His crew continued with the painting through the week taking the time to do the job right. Our house had not been painted for several years and it was so "thirsty" that the crew used 3 coats of paint in some areas even though I had contracted for just 2. Dennis stuck to his original estimate despite this which I really appreciated. Great company and highly recommended

I contacted Dennis in May because he had good reviews on Angies List. He said he could not get to my job until then end of July/August. I agreed I would wait until he had TIME for my job. He and another worker did the tear down including disconnecting my kitchen sink plumbing.  Three days later I discovered my flooring and cabinet beneath my sink was flooded. Apparently the valves were not capped (I am not a plumber but this is what I learned from other professionals)and leaked over a three day period underneath my laminate flooring. I called Dennis immediately and he came over as fast as he could. It was a weekend. That is why he gets an A for responsiveness and punctuality. But that is where the good grades end. I understand plumbing leaks and accident happen but being told "Just wait and see if your floor buckles before you remove it," was totally inappropriate. There was water squishing under foot! I called a water restoration company and had to have my kitchen and some dining room flooring pulled up, my cabinet where the plumbing leaked replaced, couple inches of wall cut out that was wet and THREE days of dehumidifiers and blowers loudly blowing. My refrigerator was in my dining room.
Dennis came back after everything was dry and roughly patched the walls. My granite and kitchen sink was put in by a guy named Sergio who was professional and talented. I love my new counter tops. Dennis rushed Sergio out and said he would put a sealant between the new sink and the counter tops when he came back, but he never did. Dennis tried to engage me in the discussion about the leak, "I talked to a plumber friend..., this has never happened to me in 15 years." He NOT ONCE apologized for the total inconvenience and added cost the flood caused. I did contact my insurance because that is what homeowners insurance is for.
Anyway a friend and I painted my kitchen, built the new shelving, and put in a back splash. I asked Dennis by email when he might be able to finish my pantry and patch the drywall and he gave me a date at the end of August. I never heard from him again, so I sent him an email ending our professional relationship.
He was going to put a header in for my new pantry and hang the bifold doors but I have found another professional for that job.
I still have a concrete floor in my kitchen and some weird purple drywall that was never finished by Dennis. I would be very cautious with this contractor. Make sure he has time for your job. I heard over and over from him that he was very busy with other jobs. Very unprofessional.
