Ico, Inc.

We hired Ico Construction company to convert our attached garage to a ADU. After interviewing other companies for the big project they were the best choice because They were willing to work with us on our schedule and budget. They explained the hurtles ahead and worked through the city's process which practically changes every time an inspector shows up. They are very responsive and professional and I highly recommend this company and would hire them for any other construction project in the future. AAA+++ rating

On October 17, 2019, the California Jazz Conservatory experienced a devastating sewer backup that shut down the schoolâ s entire campus at 2087 Addison Street, in Berkeley. The school was faced with having to undergo a major renovation of a 7,500 square foot facility, housing classrooms, practice rooms, a bookstore, concert space and bookstore. I called ICO to request a site visit and estimate. From the first day I met ICO owner Ivan Pinedo, I knew the school would be in good hands -- and, as it turned out, it was, hands down! Ivan and his crew were simply remarkable throughout this very complex project. Here are the many reasons why I highly recommend this wonderful company: â ¢ Their customer service was top notch from beginning to end. It was all about accommodating the schoolâ s needs, rather than the companyâ s needs; â ¢ Their flexibility with regard to scheduling the work was a godsend given the many challenges the school faced at one of the most critical times in its 22-year history; â ¢ Their estimate was completely reasonable given the complexity of the project; â ¢ Their estimate was also remarkably accurate, resulting in the need for only one change order; â ¢ The crewâ s workmanship was impeccable; â ¢ The crew was professional, courteous and accommodating; they were incredibly good-natured and willing to address our every need throughout the construction process. Nothing I asked them to do was too much trouble; â ¢ The project was completed ahead of schedule, which is unheard of! This company earned my trust from day one; I would hire them again, and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a contractor. Many thanks to Ivan and all at ICO for all you did to get the California Jazz Conservatory back up and running in such a consummate and timely way!

ICO built a 600sf master BR suite addition for us. Their proposal had a superior format and was moderately priced. Their staff is very competent, courteous, and easy to work with. Ivan is very responsive and communicates quickly which made it a pleasant experience. There were very few change orders requested by us. The workmanship and final result were very good. The specialty subcontractors utilized were all experienced. We would recommend ICO to anyone looking for good value and quality.

Ivan is the best contractor you can ask for... period! From the moment I met him, I could tell that he was an honest man of integrity. That was the primary reason that we hired Ivan to rebuild our house. Our project was a complete teardown of the existing structure and an addition of about 1,000 sq/feet. My main concerns with selecting a contractor were: staying on budget, staying on schedule and quality. 1) Budget - our project, which was massive, was exactly on budget. The only things that exceeded our budget were finishes or changes to the plan that I wanted. (Note to user: if you want to stay on budget, go through every single detail. Small things such as power outlet location, ceiling light locations, and switches, etc. when you submit your plan. You are being quoted for a precise plan, and any change or a new idea you get may not be accounted for). 2) Schedule - Ivan quoted our project to take 8 months. We moved in 8 months to the day from when we moved out. It was amazing. 3) Quality - I can't say enough about the quality of his team's work, the integrity of his product and the final outcome. Ivan spent a lot of time with me during the construction phase making sure we planned every single detail perfectly. He accommodated all of my crazy needs (sensor LED lights in the closet, unplanned skylights in the kitchen, etc) and was super flexible and honest in every discussion we had. Thanks to Ivan and ICO, we are now living in our dream house. Ivan has become a family friend of ours and is always welcome in our home. I strongly recommend Ivan to anyone looking for a contractor.

Would highly recommend Ivan and crew to anyone looking to remodel. They finished the project on time (despite home owner related delays), good attention to detail and did not spring any surprise fees on us through the course of the project. Pleasure working with them (which is hard to say about contractors!).

Very honest, straight forward, and the price is very good for the work that was done. I would refer them to anyone!

We were so satisfied, beyond thrilled with how everything turned out.
