Oarcon Inc
We hired Oarcon in May 2017 to handle a large remodel of our residence in the Los Altos Hills. They were professional, on budget, on time and rolled with changes that occur on all constructions sites. The Los Altos Building Dept complimented us on our choice of builder as they were very easy to work with for them as well, No drama, and everything done to code the first time. This home had to be taken down to studs as a lot of previous homeowners construction was not to code and not earthquake safe. We changed out all 12ft high windows and doors, decks, built and moved walls, created a new kitchen, teak on the ceiling and special fireplace and soffit building were just a few of the many projects this property required. I highly recommend this construction company for your new build and remodels.

Everlast Construction
I am an engineer in Silicon Valley and as such have been known to be direct, and some would say abrasive. Dealing with oversensitive people has always been a problem for me as I have trouble communicating succinctly simple issues without polite social protocol getting in the way. I have read a lot of the reviews here about Everlast sales people, and project managers being the same. I personally found this refreshing. Working together, we got a lot done in short order. I knew exactly what I wanted, and a good feel for how do to it. We were able to get to the heart of matters quickly and didn?t worry about any distracting conversational pleasantries. In fact, I found their employees delightful in this way. I chose Everlast because of their aggressive sales representatives and the upfront honesty I perceived in them. They could deal with me and me with them. From this beginning, I formed a relationship of trust with the employees of Everlast. We both understood each other. If, at times I perceived the construction work was not proceeding as planned, l learned the most important lesson when dealing with Everlast was this trust and patients. As time went on, Guy Hagai became my project manager and go to person at Everlast. I found him attentive to my queries, very easy to work with, and detail oriented. He kept me updated regularly with the progress of project and made me aware of a lot of the things I had overlooked ? thankfully. His management of this project relieved me of a lot of the stress I otherwise would have suffered through because this was the first time I had ever undertaken such a large project and was not knowledgeable of all aspects of its scope. Because of his years of experience in this field, with customers like me, and dealing with the many issues related to City permitting, scheduling, material selection and so on, things progressed smoothly because of his stewardship. The initial quote for the work to be done was $80K. It was to include 3 new bathrooms, new kitchen, new master bedroom, installation of tile floors, new ceilings, all new electrical, 14 new doors, complete interior painting, installation of recessed LED lights (and a lot of other incidentals ? too long to list). I was told that their best estimate for completion was to be 3 months. By the fourth month, job was not complete. I caught myself getting impatient and inquired why. Everlast informed me that due to new building code requirements, (added window egress required for new master bedroom and extra peering under removed load bearing wall) these delays were the result of City engineers being back logged for weeks as a result of the booming construction being done in the area. The delay was caused by circumstances beyond their control. What they didn?t tell me was that because of these changed code requirements, they were obligated to modify the structural design drawings, and re-submit them to the City of Fremont ? twice. They did this work without charging me extra. I know how much it costs to have this done ? between $2000 to $3000. Again, they did it without extra cost to me. But dealing with the city caused a 6 week delay ? not their fault. I can attest to this because I have dealt with the city of Fremont as well and understand how impacted they are. Everlast used the time to add features to the house I had not planned on getting - for free. I estimate the cost of these added extras to be in excess of $30K as I had long ago gotten quotes from other companies to have them done individually. In total, this amount would far exceed the loss in rent I suffered from a vacant house and delayed completion. Even after the City approved the modified plans Everlast continued to add features they felt ?should? be done. They did these things without asking me for more than the agreed on $80. Everlast did these they are conscientious, trust worthy, and were interested in doing a professional, thorough job which would satisfy me ? the customer. They accomplished this and more. All I had to do was be patient. The list of ?no added cost? additional improvements Everlast made to my property which were not included in the original quote of $80K are as follows: 1. Removal of load bearing wall and installation of glue-laminate beam and under house peering. 2. Construction of ?pass through? opening from the kitchen to the dining room for convenient inter-room access. 3. Adding motion detection LED lights in all bedroom closets. 4. Installing cedar wood flooring in all closets. 5. Wiring and installing ceiling fans in all bedrooms. 6. Installing 2 new windows to allow for egress code compliance. 7. Refinishing of all the existing wood floors in the house. 8. Refinishing of all the existing tiles floors in the house. 9. Installation of glass brick shower stalls, and entry way walls. 10. Replacing all ?under house? sewer lines from all bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room all the way up to the city line. This alone would have been a $6000 expense. They did a beautiful job under there. 11. Re-routing of kitchen gas range hood exhaust flue through attic/roof in order to accommodate an enlarged diameter pipe. 12. Removal of many walled structures within the house which wasted a lot of floor space and once removed opened up the architecture significantly. 13. Purchase and installation of hardwired carbon dioxide/monoxide detectors in every room. I found the employees of Everlast to be very easy to work with. They always had my interests in mind. I got way more than I expected and would recommend this company to anyone in need of such services. Three days after Everlast completed construction, I received multiple requests to rent the property. All who saw it thought it was beautiful. By the fourth day a rental agreement lease was signed. Here is a view of ?almost? finished product: [*** Link removed ***]

The project was flawless, beginning to end. Barak, the project manager was on site frequently and checked in to make sure the milestones were met. We had two dedicated workers and the were on time, very tidy, followed COVID protocols and were very pleasant to have around.

I used Shefer Builder for a kitchen remodel and I'm so glad I did. They were friendly, detail-oriented and flexible. First, I didn't want a total teardown. I wrote a detailed doc specifying what I wanted and sent it to a bunch of contractors. Yaniv was the only guy that actually read it and gave us a competitive quote - everyone else tried to upsell us a total teardown. I really appreciated that. We wanted to purchase all materials and appliances ourselves, and Yaniv worked efficiently with us to schedule things . Partway through the process we changed our mind - went for an in-counter cooktop instead of a separate range. Yaniv took the change in stride, adjusted the quote and schedule, and work continued smoothly. I was very impressed. Partway through the renovation, covid hit. When this happened Yaniv quickly hurried his schedule so that his workers could be out of our house as soon as possible. I really appreciated it. This renovation was over a year ago and all the work has been first rate. There wasn't a detail missed and everything's held up. For all my future renovations, Shefer Builder will be my first (and probably only) call.
