SR Construction

DID NOT COMPLETE WORK.   I AM LEFT WITH UNFINISHED WORK (NO DOORS TO LAUNDRY OR GARAGE) AND NEED TO HIRE 2 ND CONTRACTOR. <br /> DID NOT REFUND MY DEPOSIT- $2500. <br /> WILL NOT REPAIR DEFECTS IN WORK-  PAINT CRACKING AFTER FEW WEEKS. <br /> 8 WEEKS OF PHONE CALLS TO COMPLETE WORK-  STALLED OR DID NOT RESPOND.   MADE UP EXCUSES FOR DELAYS. <br /> STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT USE THIS CONTRACTOR. <br /> <br />

He finished on time and within budget.  He did a couple of extra things for me without charging, which was really nice of him.  I recommended him to several of my friends already.

Sean and his various crews were always on time, cleaned up after they were done working for the day and were respectful of the entire household.  Prices were fair and he is able to give design opinion very well - we changed some ideas after talking with him.  Paint guys and drywall texture was great.  Very happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely use SR Construction on future projects. <br />

I initially had Sean come to give an estimate on painting the interior.  I realized quickly he was a General Contractor and painting is only a portion of the services/experience he provides.  He also has an eye for design - he kept making the same comments/observations the interior designer we used had made.  Painting the interior of the house quickly became remodeling the bar, ripping out an ornamental bump-out to open the family room space, adding accent lighting, moving electrical to better fit today's wall-mounted TV/entertainment system and a beautifull remodel of our small downstairs bathroom.  <br /> He offered design tips and recommendations for color/hardware/material choices all the while listening to what we wanted.  His vendors worked out great for granite, tile and glass and his subcontractors were all polite, professional and on time.  We have teen/preteen girls at home and as the daughter of a construction family I have to say - my father would have approved of the character of every subcontractor we had enter the house.  Very important when you trust your home to others.  <br /> The costs never exceeded what he told us they would be - we were adequately prepared for the material costs which for stone and glass have increased but his vendors did a fantastic job.  He was present at the showroom for bathroom tile selection and had an owner meet me for selection of the granite at that showroom. <br /> I also had an ornamental brass piece I wanted affixed to a piece of unfinished wood (he provided) to put in the house to display - we collaborated and it turned out great. <br /> Our master bath will need a complete overhaul in a few years - I hope Sean is still in the area as we will definitely be calling him back.

The work was stalled for over 2 years  from our side due to financial reasons, When we contacted Shaun earlier during 2011  summer, he promptly replied and was ready to take up the work. Shaun helped us pick the tiles.  Once the work started early August 2011,  it progressed rapidly. Shaun and his team were very organized. They were punctual and clearly communicated what will be done and what, if any, inputs were required form us.  He also accommodated  changes that had to be done due to mis-communication regarding the layout of the tiles.  At  the end of the day everything was completely cleaned up.  Shaun and his team were also very prompt and responsive to complete few follow-up issues.  The price is a little on the higher side but  the quality of the work is excellent. Overall, we are very satisfied.

Shaun and his crew have done a great job. Their work is well done. They are friendly and responsive. They take very good care of the house and work sites. And their prices are fair and reasonable. The quality has been very good. We are looking forward to completing more projects with SR Construction in the future.

Everything was good and he did a great job.  We are just having problems with our wiring.  We need him come back and fix it but we can not get a hold of him.  

How do you write a review that makes it obvious that this is the contractor to select? I contacted Shaun shortly after closing on our new house because there were several things that needed immediate attention and there were also some things that my wife and I wanted to change prior to moving in. Shaun arrived 10 minutes early to our appointment and listened to what we were looking to have done, plus he offered several ideas of his own to help make our decisions easier. I asked for his quote to be broken down by job since I thought there was a chance we were asking to have more done than we could afford. I received the quote later that day and was pleasantly surprised that I could afford to have everything done. He asked when we would like to start work and I told him the sooner the better since we were waiting for the work to be complete prior to moving into the house. His crew started two days later and after each day they cleaned up any mess that was made. As they were working, my wife and I kept finding other things that we wanted done. All that was needed was a quick phone call to Shaun and it was done. I knew that we were adding to the total bill but the quality of work was fantastic and worth the extra cost. I would rate every job that SR Construction performed as 10 out of 10! I have already recommended them to two different friends that have just bought houses and I can honestly say that if you are looking for a contractor, Shaun is a great choice!

The main contractor was very professional.  He had a great vision of things that could be done at the house.  He offered ideas to us.  They were responsive, very thorough, very respectful and friendly.  They did quality work.  The main contact Shawn could have made us have a better idea of the daily process of what was going on.  They might have to improve on that aspect.

Overall, I'm very happy with the entire work. Minimal supervision / intervention from my side. The crew was great.

They did a great job and I would have no hesitation in recommending or hiring them again.

very satisfied and will be using them again.

We got SR Construction off of Angie's List. They did an excellent job. They stayed within the estimated cost they gave us. They were not cheap, but they were fair. We got more than our monies worth. I liked everything from the design ideas to reliability to the quality.

See work performed write up.

I found SR construction through Angie's list. Honestly I became a member of Angie's list just for this larg e construction project and have found it very beneficial so far. Shaun Rang the owner of SR contacted me right away and came over to inspect the project and provide an estimate. I found him to be very professional, honest and straight-forward and to the point. He seemed to also have some good artistic sense and gave me good ideas on colors, themes etc. I then got references from him and called one of them. Actually the day I called the reference, she was on her way back from the funeral home but still took a few minutes to talk to me about her experience with SR and I was really impressed that she thought so highly of him and the company that she would take the time from a funeral. God bless her heart. I also checked the prices on the quote versus my own costs (I am an engineer and consider myself pretty good with numbers especially on complex projects). My own costs were about 20% lower than Shaun's which I explained to him. He had told me upfront that his costs would likely be about 15-20% higher than the average contractor but he really focused on the quality of the work and also used american workers that he has worked with for many years. I really wanted to make sure that I used the american labor for my job since I did want to do the right thing to help out other hard working families. Based on the reference and estimates I began the job. Shaun and his crew would show up everyday exactly at 8am as promised and work hard through the day usually finishing around 4-5pm depending on the tasks for the day. The crew was very professional, hard working and clean. They always made sure to cleanup at the end of the day. The project lasted a couple of weeks longer than we had originally planned (plan was for 4 weeks but took 6). Actually the reason for the delay was because of my mistake and not shaun's. My wife decided to skip the all important step of actually choosing the granite slabs from Sosa granite, Livermore and she found out that Sosa decided to install Kashmir white instead of Kashmir gold granite in the master bath which was not the right color. Shaun and Sosa could have easily have washed their hands off this because it was clearly our fault for not checking but instead they were completely professional and decided to completely remove the brand new Kashmir white granite and reinstall the Kashmir gold that we wanted. This caused a few days delay in the project because Sosa was backed up. However I though this was very professional and well done by Shaun and Sosa and commend them for it. They did not charge us a cent for this mistake. When Shaun started remodeling the downstairs bath he found a lot of water damage from years of a bad job done by the previous contractor. Even though this damage was not in the original estimate, he took the time and effort to completely strip down the dry wall down to the studs and redo the job properly. I am very thankful to SR for this. I also am confident that if I do have any issues in the future I can count on Shaun to come in and take care of it in a timely manner. Overall I am very happy with the job done by Shaun and his team and would highly recommend them to anyone. I will definitely use him for other jobs at home. As with any projects, take the time to plan the project materials and cost upfront with him and you wont be disappointed. I also used a flooring guy recommended by Shaun for the new Brazilian Tigerwood floors in my bonus room as well as new carpet upstairs (Gabe from Nor-Cal Flooring in Discovery Bay). Gabe also was very professional and did an excellent job at a very good price.

We are completely delighted with Shaun Rang and SR Construction. Shaun was always available, always prompt and responsive. Both he and his crew, and all the people he brought in for this project were professional, friendly and easy to work with. Special mentions are due for the painter, Josh, who was just excellent (clean, careful, and very skilled), Jason (et al) who did a beautiful job on the tile work, and Cris, who skillfully did carpentry and numerous other jobs. Everyone showed up on time ? every day ? and worked to minimize the disruption to our household. Shaun himself participated in the design choices we made, and he was very helpful. His eye is very good, and his experience and instincts make him invaluable in evaluating design elements. In addition to SR Construction, Shaun is a partner in a cabinet-making operation, from whom we ordered the floating vanity for our lavatory. The whole team was anxious that the project meet our expectations, and it did. We will be using SR Construction for several more projects.

We got him off the list. He charged us less than what the bid was and we ended up paying about $9,000. It was a wonderful experience. He is very good and very willing to work with you and help you come up with something affordable. He is prompt, clean and the guys that work for him are very friendly and competent. I wouldn?t use anybody but him.

Shaun is a rare find. He's a great general contractor and keeps everything going smoothly and on-time. And as an added bonus, he has a great eye for design and colors. He helped me pick out the tile, backsplash, granite countertops and paint colors. He's professional and does as he says. He bent over backwards to help us meet an aggressive finish date. I'm very happy with the way the remodel turned out. Although he's not the cheapest guy out there, he's worth the money.

Shaun was amazing. We were doing this long distance. From the time I first talked to him to the end of the project he was so professional. I found him on Angie's list and contacted him. He went out to the house and gave me a bid promptly and started work shortly after. He always answered my questions and gave great suggestions. He coordinated everything beautifully. He finished the whole project in less than two months and did a wonderful job. He completely transformed this home.

I contacted our insurance company for a reference to secure the door until I could get it fixed. The company they recommended wanted $500 just to secure the door and would give me a quote to fix it. Told them I would call them back and got on Angie's List and found Shaun and called him. He said he would be there in 10 minutes and was. He charged me nothing to secure the door. I asked if he would repair the damage, he said yes and he did. All work was completed as he quoted including re-texturing the damaged dry wall, reparing trim and painting inside and out - not to mention installing new door and frame. It actually looks better than before. I highly recommend Shaun. Reasonable, ethical and reliable.

I was impressed most with Shaun Rang's (general contractor) interest in the project and his attention to detail. From the start, he spent time with me in choosing tile or stone samples and had very good design suggestions for layout and placement of fixtures and outlets. He was very patient with me - as the bid occurred in May, but the actual job did not begin until September because of my difficulty in choosing my products. He seem genuinely interested in my project - even though it was relatively small. Shaun was always available for questions and concerns. His subcontractors were courteous and professional, did a great job, and were very careful to clean up when their job was done. The job was finished in 10 days - considering that it was almost a complete remodel, it was quick. I was impressed with Shaun's abilities to schedule his subs so that no time was wasted.

Shaun Rang is extremely efficient and represents a good balance between contractors who agree to anything and those who only want to do it their way. In a nutshell, he listens to input but also has good taste and a vision based on previous success. Mr Rang is responsive, reliable, and extremely punctual. His crew was talented within their skillsets and tidy in their approach. Mr Rang was willing to spend time during the estimate and with the various 3rd party vendors to help us understand the myriad choices and variables. Because Mr Rang is focused on efficiency in the process, those looking to spend extra time seeking the cheapest deals or who are unwilling to accomodate cost increases due to unforseen circumstances may want to consider alternative contractors. Mr Rang has learned to use those resources most reliable to him as a way to insure timely success and they are not always the cheapest. Overall, Mr Rang and SR Construction is a gem of an operation and we will use them again when the time comes to remodel the other parts of our home.

This was a great experience. I've worked with remodeling contractors in various western states over the last ten years and Shaun and his crew were by far the best I've worked with. From scheduling between his various jobs to bringing in his sub contractors, Shaun efficiently managed the project from start to finish. I found working with him to not only be a fun experience, but I learned a lot from him about remodeling bathrooms as he was always willing to spend the extra time to explain the options and project details so I understood and had choice all the way along the line. We didn't have any delays, the sub contractors were great (plumber, electrician, glass shower doors and tile/stone crew), and the bathroom came out just beautiful. The target audience for the remodel was a cranky teenager, and he is absolutely happy with his new digs. When asked point blank how he likes his new bathroom, he said it's 'cool'. Hi praise :) We also asked Shaun to help us in the future with a master remodel and a kitchen remodel, his work was just great. In conclusion, I wouldn't hesitate to get Shaun to do more remodeling for me, I only wish I had more money to spend.

Shaun and his assistant were professional, polite, punctual, thorough, and timely throughout the project. The work area was always carefully cleaned at the end of the day. Shaun was quick to return calls, listened to my desires, made helpful recommendations, and completed the work above my expectations. I love it! Finally I have some storage space other than the damp, dusty garage. I found Shaun here on Angie's List and highly recommend him to other members. i plan to use him for other upcoming remodeling projects.

I have been extremely pleased with SR Construction. I expected top quality contruction and got it. Beyond this, Shaun also provided excellent design advice and several times stopped me from making bad choices. He was always very tactful about suggesting alternative solutions or materials. He was willing to spend time visting various showrooms to help me make decisions. He also was very communicative, letting me know what work was scheduled for each day.
