"We spent 3 months trying to find the right contractor to tear down and rebuild our deck. We hire Brian ONeill after receiving a bid and discussing the project with him. He listened to what we wanted and worked with us to come up with the correct deck configuration that we wanted. He is a true craftsman and exceptionally easy to work with. We couldn't be happened with the finished product and that he did everything he said he would do and was a complete pro before, during, and after. Thank you Brian!"

"Canâ t say enough good things about these guys. Our Willow Glen home dates back to 1947 and required a lot of prep. They spent over a week, laboriously preparing the siding, going over it in great detail. I have never seen people work so hard at such a painstaking and arduous task. Sarai, and Ivan were great to work with and were very accommodating of the scheduling problems involved with getting other necessary repairs done. Sarai, worked with my wife to get the color just right, and we went through about 10 color samples, and finally ended up with a custom mix. All in all, a fantastic house-painting job!"

"As stated in other comments, the company did the job, and worked cleanly. Rolando (owner/operator) was personable, and easy to work with. He was quickly able to meet with us, survey the project, consult, and give a quote (and the next open date). He started the job and completed on the scheduled date."

Customers say: True professional

"Kris, Aaron, and their crew are absolutely phenomenal at what they do. They are absolutely craftsmen with extremely high standards of quality. They are very easy to work with and flexible to receiving feedback and changes along the way. Our front yard looks amazing and it's entirely their artistic creation, with a huge amount of engineering work hidden beneath the lovely surface. Very highly recommended."

"The Bayside Builders Group is an exceptional company with the customer service to match. They were kind enough to help me on my deck project, and they definitely went above-and beyond what most contractors do! From Shai's informative talks before starting up the work to his efficiency displayed as he led his team. It made things go smoothly without sacrificing quality! I'm glad we found them for this job - thanks again!"

"I needed to have the opening for a new garage door reinforced to support the new door, and have the cracked and uneven concrete floor of my pre-1947 garage repaired. Sebastian confirmed our appointment by phone and arrived on time to take a look at the project. He understood what the garage door installers needed to have done in order to install the new door and suggested a couple of alternatives to complete the project. He clearly explained the work that needed to be done. Sebastian's estimate arrived when he said it would. He kept me updated during every step of the job. He and his crew cleaned up after themselves after each day's work. I was very impressed with Sebastian's professionalism and attention to detail and would definitely him again."
