Response from Walnut Creek Remodeling and Construction Company
Hi [Member Name Removed]. I just want to let you know I'm sorry we could not connect. Unfortunately, during the busiest time of year, I was gone for a week and a half on vacation, and then back to work for a week and then on vacation for another week and a half starting tonight (it sounds like I take a lot of vacation but I don't, its just how it worked out this summer). At any rate, I am sorry I could not look at your project. I am swamped like everyone else is right now. Way too much work and not enough contractors to do the work. Good luck on your project and sorry I could not help you. Hugh Walpole

Ed Cunningham (the fellow in charge at HW Construction) was responsible for overseeing and guiding the construction of my kitchen- and he did an outstanding job! Ed excelled at giving good, practical advice and helped to make the entire process go exceedingly smoothly. There were never any surprises, and whenever a decision had to be made, Ed would let me know what the options were and provide me with unbiased pros and cons. I first contacted Ed in February...he provided a very reasonable estimate, and also put me in touch with an excellent cabinet shop. The work started in mid-April, and the final inspection was signed off almost exactly five weeks later. Throughout all of the construction Ed and his workers were extremely conscientious...they took care to keep the dust and debris to a minimum and did a fine job of making everything look neat and orderly. My kitchen looks fantastic, and I couldn't be more pleased with the final result!
Description of Work: Complete kitchen remodel...all of the old items were torn out and replaced (new cabinets, sink, counter top, oven / hood, flooring, lighting, electrical). Additionally, one of the walls in the kitchen was shifted back a few feet, in order to provide some additional room in what is an otherwise relatively small space.

Removed a tub/shower and converted it to a walk in shower. When an issue with the plumbing came up they brought out a plumber for advice. Together with the inspector we all made the best decision for me and the quality of the job. I never once felt intimidated into a decision. I was included in every step of the process. Ed's attention to detail and perfectionism resulted in excellent tile work. These guys are great! And NO I did not know them before this project. I am just very happy with my experience!
Description of Work: Hugh and Ed are amazing! On time every day, great communication, amazing attention to detail, take pride in their work. I know this sounds too good to be true but it is all true for me. I have organized many construction projects both residential and commercial and this was the best experience I have had. Obstacles are going to come up in construction, Ed dealt with the obstacles professionally and made sure I understood what was going on and was part of the solution decision making process. Their bid was consistent with other bids.

Hugh and Ed were very professional throughout the initial walk-through, bidding, planning and construction process. They provided expert advice and throrough estimates. HW was selected after securing three other bids. Once the project started, Hugh and Ed did excellent work. They were always on time, did a good job of communicating status and identifying issues. Throughout the project they demonstrated flexibility and were able to knock off several smaller projects outside of the original scope (some of which they just included as part of the original estimate). The final work was of excellent quality and something that I am proud of as a homeowner. I definitely recommend HW. They do great work, are reliable and have a good eye for identifying / resolving issues. On top of the high quality work, Hugh and Ed are just great people and are fun to work with.
Description of Work: HW Construction installed a sliding glass door, did drywall work, installed closet doors and trim, sealed a hole in an eve on the roof, among other projects

I had HW construction out to build our deck on our front porch. We have a large area on the front of our house that wraps around with a railing and pillars. It all needed to be demolished and replaced. After interviewing several contractor the choice was clear. We choose HW Construction for several reasons. They met with us and were right on time. Hugh was very knowledgeable and had a quote to us the very next day. Once on the job they were there everyday until completion and the deck and railing turned out absolutely amazing. HW Construction communicated with us through out the process and the job turned out perfect. I would highly recommend using them

H and W was on time and extremely professional from giving the estimate to performing the work on time and completed the work within the prescribed time cleaned up there mess and I would use them again. Other contractors on Angie's list should use H and W as an example of how business should be performed.

They did an excellent job for a fair price (I received 3 quotes). It was a tough demo job, and complex installation because of stairs and radius walls. The demolition was completed quickly and neatly (as possible). They provided me with great ideas for the tile layout in a diagonal pattern, and the work turned out much better than I imagined. The wood installation turned out flawless, even around a radius wall, and rounded fireplace. I hadn't planned on it, but because I was so satisfied with HW's work, I also had them install the trim and millwork for a very reasonable price. The total project took just over three weeks from start to finish. We have received numerous compliments from visitors to our home, and we would use HW again
Description of Work: I hired HW Construction to remove all existing downstairs flooring, and install 1,800 square feet of new stone and wood in my home. The material consisted of 17-inch travetine in the kitchen and family room, and hickory in the living and dining rooms. After the flooring was complete, they installed new 6-inch baseboard throughout, along with 4-inch door casing with accent pieces at the top. They also installed a new glass pantry door.

Description of Work: I spoke with owner, Mr. Hugh Walpole on the phone on 6-14-11. We discussed the extent of the work needed. We scheduled an appointment for a visit & estimate on 6-23-11. I waited for 55 mins. at my new property (hadn't yet moved in). Then I called him in case something had happened with cell phone connection. I had already given him both cell & home phone numbers. Could not reach him. Left my cell phone number again & waited a few more minutes for a return call. He never called me at either number to explain why he was a "no show".

Response from Walnut Creek Remodeling and Construction Company
I tried to go to this appointment and the address givin to me by this customer. Even though my vehicle has a GPS system I drove around for 30 minutes trying to find the home. I also tried the navigation system on my phone and came to the same result - driving around in circles for a half an hour. I called the customer twice and all I got was static on the line. This was in addition to the 30 - 40 minutes I spent on the phone with her just to get an appointment! She expalined to me in detail every aspect of the project even though I told her what services I provided and that I needed to see the project and it would be best to just set up an appointment. Eventually I was able to get an appointment and an address that appears doesn't exist. In all - from the phone conversation to the driving around looking for this house I wasted about two hours of time simply trying to go to an appointment. From my time in the Diamond Cetified directory (3 years) to BBB to Angies list I have never gotten a negative review. Just wanted to tell my side of the story.

Hugh was very responsive during his visit to review the project. He got back to me quickly with the estimate and was willing to complete the work within my required time frame. His pricing was very competitive and he and his partner worked quickly and efficiently. Some of the items to be installed were not delivered by the start of the project, and they were willing to come back to complete the project when these items were ready.
Description of Work: Installed a large, all glass chandelier from a two-story ceiling in the dining room, repaired and painted the ceiling where the old outlet had been. Installed a large mirror Installed a wall lamp and repaired and painted the wall where the old outlet had been. Installed a flush-mount light fixture in the hallway Installed a custom quilt rack on the wall at a two-story level Installed a custom bulletin board

The project progressed from start to finish in a logical and organized manner. Initially, our ideas and needs were helped along by the experience and creativity of HW Construction and also by the architect and designer we used. We always felt that our thoughts were listened to and carefully blended with what was possible to be constructed at a fair and reasonable price. Having work done at one's home can be very stressful. HW Construction paid close attention to keeping a safe, clean and organized construction area that made consistent progress on a daily basis.
Description of Work: Work entailed the addition of approximately 500 square feet of living space to our single-family home. The project included the foundation, framing, and all fixtures & finishes for a new guest bedroom with full bath and a family room addition with a rear entrance to the house. All home plans were coordinated with a recommended structural architect, as well as an interior designer.

He was responsive, gave recommendations and was very competitively priced. We scheduled the install they arrived on time and completed the project on time. The windows look great and work really well. There is no more air coming in from the sides cooling down my rooms. I was also impressed they cleaned up after themselves and didn't leave a mess in the rooms. I would highly recommend this construction company based on my outstanding experience.
Description of Work: They put in new windows for my home. I had some that they did new construction and others retro-fitted. They also trimmed the windows inside and out. They customized per the location of the window and what would be best. I liked their honesty of what to do and why.
