Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Martinez, CA

"Job was completed per request. After we pointed out our concerns, they worked with us to completion. It took slightly longer to complete, but it was well worth the wait. Many other contractors would probably walk and not address any concerns, but BeHome finished. I would strongly recommend BeHome to do your job. They are professional and friendly."

"Raz and S&L Remodeling and Design were the best. My kitchen and bathroom room was a terrible mess. Professional, punctual and have reasonable pricing, and of course their work was great. I was quoted by 6 contractors before them but none felt like the right fit until this home remodeling contract came along. Finally, I am now able to have company over. The process and communication with project manager and Raz communicated well with me and my family and answered all questions and concerns. I told Raz that we are adding an extra room. So for the new year we'll have some great projects in the making. I'm excited. Thanks again SLR"

"After meeting with around 10 contractors, I decided to go with EA Homebuilders. Eric seemed honest and willing to do our remodeling the way we wanted it done. Great decision. Eric, Hector and crew were courteous and finished the job in the time they said it would be done, less than a month. We love our new bath/ shower. Highly recommend and would use again."

"After calling a few companies, we found Home pro remodeling. Ariel the manager gave us a good offer for the retaining wall, it was the best offer we received compare to other companies ! His guys are super professional, nice and clean. We were very happy with the experience. If you are looking to remodel your home , Home pro remodeling is definitely the best in the area! They are the real deal."

"We received quotes from 3 different contractors. We chose GAXL because it's close to Newark and I like how Jose explains everything in detail. Originally we thought the remodeling would take 4 weeks but it took close 6 weeks. The whole project was great, the craftsmanship was superb. At one point, we found some tiles that are not very nice (from the manufacturer) and we asked them to redo the bathroom wall. They don't complain and understand our request. The workers are great, especially Marvin and this other guy (forgot his name). They WORK very very hard from 8a to 6p everyday. Jose is on time and is very prompt in returning calls or text. In fact he's the only contractor who's very prompt and I like that! On one of the walls they discovered a mold due to rain leaking and they're able to fix it in 4 days which is great. Jose and his son pickup the materials from the suppliers and drop them in our house. Overall, Jose and his men are courteous. I will definitely use GAXL for future remodeling."

"Great experience. Prompt communication, fair price, regular updates, and attention to detail. Hired Abraham to do major construction of extensive new office partition walls in a commercial building as well as ADA bathroom upgrades. All completed with care and on time. Very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend."

"Throughout our project, their general construction services were consistently professional and reliable. They managed every detail flawlessly, ensuring a smooth and efficient process from start to finish."

"Really great company everything went well and professional"

"I have an attached garage with a rooftop deck. Original contract with Ascend was for $54,100 to replace the garage roof and deck, plus repair some damaged drywall in the garage. Additional water damage was discovered, leading to a requirement to have engineering plans created and a permit approved. Cost for the plans was $6,000. Plans were completed, and we asked for an estimated both verbally and via email. Contractor emails demonstrate desire to not provide any estimate. Contractor finally relents and provides a verbal estimate of $25,000 - $35,000 additional cost. This is despite having full engineering plans that they created. Bait and Switch Six weeks pass while the permit is being reviewed. Permit is approved on a Friday, we receive a change order form for $63,000 late on Sunday night, and early Monday morning they show with a crew. This is the start of their pressure campaign. Total cost of the project is now $123,100 including original contract, change order, and engineering plans. More than 2x the original. I reviewed the costs with other contractors who all agreed the additional cost was unreasonable. I asked Ascend to explain the variance to their original estimate versus the change order, their engineering plans, and the permit. While Ascend asserted early on that it was the county that required changes, they could produce no evidence of any pushback from the county. They said that the cost was due entirely to building codes. Throughout they continued to assert many ways where the cost could go higher and that we should expect even more costs. They had the plans, they are supposed to know the building codes, and they had six weeks to amend their estimate. What became clear was they were using the permit as leverage to force me into the higher contract. To their credit, they did acknowledge the sequence of us receiving the change order late at night followed by early morning crew arrival could appear as aggressive and offered us a $10,000 discount if we would do a video promoting them. We declined. Bad Faith Negotiations What followed was a series of events whereby they would agree to an issue, and then quickly renege on the agreement. 1. They initially agreed to split the additional work with another contractor. I have text exchanges with them. We agree on which work Ascend would perform and what other contractors would perform. At their request, I contacted the county to split the permit responsibilities. They also made it clear that they would not honor any warranty on the work they performed if a different contractor's work even touched theirs. For example, if the new contractor's stairs touched their deck (which the stairs is supposed to connect to the deck). 24 hours later they issued a stop work order to me saying that the permit gave them the right to prevent me from engaging other contractors. 2. The later called me to tell me they would call the police on any new contractor I hired. They said they would not do that if I agreed to pay them a fee of $30,000 to allow them to be the general contractor. With the provision that any work they didn't approve of would be torn out and replaced at my expense. At this point I confronted them with the evidence of the bait and switch. I also informed them that I was in contact with the county agency who recommended I ask Ascend to transfer the permit to me. Ascend called me later to say that they would agree to the permit transfer and would settle the original contract. 24 hours later they issue a letter saying they refused to transfer the permit until they could send a settlement agreement. No such settlement agreement was sent. 3. I hired an attorney who issued a Demand Memorandum which required an affirmative response. Ascend never responded and has stopped answering emails, text messages, or phone calls."
