Family owned business with over 22 years of experience -Remodeling - General - Remodeling - Kitchen & Bathroom - full home remodels - room additions - ADU's - Full Roof replacement -

"Would not recommend them to anyone. We had the worst experience with these guys. Scope of project: kitchen complete remodel, replacing carpet flooring with vinyl tile flooring , redo electrical for kitchen area only cost: 100K+ what went to plan: - kitchen demo - made one nice dry wall - setting up and framing of the kitchen area what went wrong: - communication/scheduling : we would never be told ahead of time when work was being done. Sometimes there would be days stretches where no one showed up and then guys would show up randomly on a Sunday morning. At the start of the project we told them we were going to move into the back half of the house, so just have that clean. We moved into trash and debris everywhere. They also saw a vinyl strap , strapped to our tree, tied to our neighbor's fence (it was there keeping the fence up as the tree was leaning into the neighbors fence). In their brilliance, they decided to cut the strap and use it for themselves. How did we know? we found it on our roof, used to tie some electrical conduit. Who the heck does that?! We should've cut ties at that point, it was just the start...if we only knew. But we gave them the benefit of the doubt...but things kept going wrong. - Kitchen cabinet install was not leveled, we end up telling them to not bother coming back and we installed the whole kitchen ourselves (re-leveling the base cabinets, putting on the hardware, installing the cabinet doors. - broke several custom panels (to their credit, they did pay for the reorder) but we ended up installing it ourselves , which we were never offered refund the labor. - the kitchen counter was not leveled, we also had to redo it ourselves in order for the independent countertop guys to install it. - cut hole for electrical switch too big, huge gap now in our org Eichler panel that is not repairable unless we replace the whole wall. - cut hole in wood beam ceiling too big for ceiling vent even though they had the manufacturer's specifications. tried to fix it, but it looks terrible. - lied and said they had experience installing lux vinyl tile. They didn't. The flooring , which is supposed to be new, looks like flooring that has been there for years and hadn't been replaced. It was discolored, uneven, not leveled, and not even lined up. How can you mess up lining up squares? Our sales person Joe ,came and made excuses after excuses , telling us " no one can install it better than them" , that this is the "best" we'll get. I cannot believe he could look us in the face and say that. We ended up requesting 1500 back, though for us to reorder redo the tiles for the kitchen will be 3K+. - as a last F you to us, they gave us the bill for the permit fees which includes a 3% of project cost recycling deposit that is 100% refundable if they just do the paperwork and let the city know where they recycled the demolition material. Our kitchen project was 80K and so it was $2400. Guess what, they "never heard of this" and have no proof of where they recycled the material and so cannot get the refund. I have no idea where they dumped the material.....and we're out 2400. The best thing about this project is finishing and NEVER having to deal with them again."

"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. When he identified additional challenges during the project, he took the time to offer practical solutions, demonstrating his commitment to delivering the best result. Oscar has earned my trust and will be my go-to contractor for any future projects. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, skilled, and dedicated professional"

FAQs for guest house building service projects in Alameda, CA

The standard construction timeline for a villa ranges from eight to 18 months, depending on its complexity and size. Factors affecting this schedule include architectural intricacy, permitting processes, seasonal construction limitations, and material availability. Custom luxury villas with specialized features require additional time for proper execution. Planning and design phases preceding actual construction can add several months to the overall project timeline.

Many villa projects encounter issues from inadequate budgeting that fails to account for contingencies and upgrades. Poor contractor selection based primarily on low bids often leads to quality issues and timeline delays. Insufficient attention to foundation and site preparation can lead to structural problems throughout the building's lifespan. Frequent design modifications during construction significantly increase costs and extend timelines, while overlooking energy efficiency considerations impacts long-term operating expenses.

Villas incorporate more sophisticated architectural elements, requiring specialized construction techniques. Their emphasis on indoor-outdoor living spaces demands thoughtful integration of structural and aesthetic considerations. Many villa designs incorporate luxury amenities that require specialized installation expertise. Local building codes may impose additional requirements for villas in certain communities, particularly those with architectural review boards or historical preservation guidelines.

This decision depends on current real estate market conditions, available inventory, and your specific preferences. Existing villas offer immediate occupancy and established landscaping but may require renovations to meet current tastes. New construction provides complete customization and modern systems, but it involves longer timelines and potential construction challenges. The premium for new construction varies significantly by location, with some markets offering minimal price differences while others show substantial gaps.

Villa maintenance requirements depend largely on size, materials, and included amenities. Exterior elements, such as gardens, pools, and architectural details, require regular upkeep. Major systems, including HVAC, roofing, and plumbing, benefit from preventative maintenance programs. Establishing relationships with reliable service providers helps manage these ongoing requirements efficiently and economically.
