We had two projects and Alan completed both of them. Our upstairs bathroom had a soft floor near the shower which turned out to be due to water damage. However, the source of the water was not clear. One contractor suggested we demo the entire bathroom and remodel it for $35k-$50k. Another suggested that he could spray something to slow the dry rot. Only Alan suggested starting by identifying the source of the leak. After eliminating several possibilities, I made a couple of suggestions which Alan rejected as "too expensive". Finally, he opened the outside wall to expose the plumbing and there found the source of the leak. He made the repair and when the wall was closed up, the stucco repair was flawless. Our downstairs exterior door from the laundry room gets heavy weather during storms. Over the years water had come in and the floor was damaged with dry rot. The original contractor made several attempts to make the door water tight but was unable to do so. A specialist in weather stripping declined the job as impossible. I suggested to Alan that we might need a new door but he rejected that option as "too expensive". With a new threshold, and by making the door close more tightly, he solved the problem at minimum cost. Alan and his workers were very responsive, prompt, and professional. Highest marks.

Bill came out and inspected the roof fully then suggested repairs. Took a lot of time to show me the problem areas and explained fully why we had leaks. He also referred us to a sheetmetal contact directly for the gutters to save us money vs going through him.

I had such a disastrous leak! I even tried to turn off the house water and it still leaked. I'm so glad I could get Dale Plumbing to come out over the weekend. He was very efficient, he knew how to do it and he made it really simple. I would definitely use them again!

"We were looking to remodel our kitchen or bath for a few years. We kept getting estimates from different companies and always felt the price was off or the person was not a good fit. Then, finally, we met Shai with Cal Green Remodeling. What a great guy! He is very upfront and honest about what we can expect in terms of cost and work flow. Because of his honest approach, we hired him. We felt he gave us the good and bad and how to resolve the bad as well. In the end, the process was fairly smooth, and the few hick-ups we had, for example, the city and their permit process, were well explained to us at the beginning, so we were ready. Our kitchen or bath looks amazing, and I plan to work with Cal Green Remodeling again. Thanks Shai!"

"Oscar truly stands out as a contractor who cares deeply about his clients, and that’s exactly how he made me feel. I reached out to five different contractors to assess my bathroom and offer ideas, but my experiences varied significantly. Some were overly sales-driven, others dismissed my ideas entirely, and one didn’t even follow up with an estimate. Oscar, however, was a breath of fresh air. He arrived on time, listened attentively to my ideas, and offered thoughtful suggestions. He was highly collaborative with the other workers on site, making sure everything was well coordinated. Oscar's expertise in the industry is evident, and he’s exceptionally creative when it comes to problem-solving.

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Saratoga, CA
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
