We have a strange leak in our basement that recurs every time it rains. To figure out the potential source, we called Alpha Structural, and the entire team was outstanding from the get-go. Lisa Hunter first took a detailed account of and keen interest in our situation, and then Gary Coffing came to inspect our house. Gary possesses an incredible wealth of knowledge about foundation and structural integrity, and gave us a very fair assessment of what might be happening, and what we could and should try first. Rather than make a hard sell to engage Alpha in a major investigation, he suggested we first try a few simpler solutions, including fixing the grading of our soil leading to the basement as well as our gutters. Perhaps this won't work and perhaps it will, but the point is he gave us a full account of what may be happening and a number of specific things to try before pulling the trigger on a major structural ordeal. A HUGE thank you to Gary and the whole team. We hope it doesn't come to it, but if we do need to go down the route of major structural work, we will absolutely call you again

The mark of a good company is not how they handle things when everything goes right, but how they handle things when things go wrong. I live in a 100 year old house, and old houses have surprises. On two occasions, my house gave Alpha a little more than they were expecting, and both times, they stepped up and proved why they have the reputation they do. The first time, the footing under my kitchen was undermined, and they intended to put two concrete pads in to fix it. When they realized their initial plans to fix it weren't quite sufficient, they brought out one of their in house engineers, and they built Fort Knox (in a good way) under the kitchen. The kitchen of my house is probably the most secure part of my house now. It will survive the Apocalypse. Then, they were contracted to fix the the stairs in the back of my property. The side of the stairs was separating from the stairs themselves, and Alpha was contracted to replace the wall. But when they removed it, they found the the old stairs there were just a thin layer of concrete over loose rock, which spilled out undermining them. It's something they never could have seen or known from the outside. Mark, one of the bosses of the company came out and looked at it, and had them replace the entire stairs, which now look amazing and are very safe for my children. I also can't say enough how on top of it the people were. Dieter, their supervisor, was amazing. He stopped by frequently to make sure everything was on track and up to standards. You'd hear him pulling up on his motorcycle, and if you had questions, he'd talk through everything that was going on with you. (And be very patient with you about the questions.) When there were job hiccups, he just let me know that they had it under control and was unflappable. He always told me things were going to be fine, and then took care of it. His crews were professional, considerate, hard working, and polite. If you get any of the guys I had, you're in good hands: -Oscar and Marlon did an amazing job on the kitchen underpinning, bolting, and sheerwalling my basement. -Gregorio, Jonathan, and Henry were excellent, and replaced my stairs. (And Gregorio, in particular, is an artist with cement.) Both crews made me realize how consistently good the quality of the work done by this company is. I highly recommend Alpha, especially if you work with any of these crews

Erinn came out and talked with me about our project - he was amazingly thoughtful and professional. We have to decide whether to move forward with the project, but I would recommend talking to Alpha Structural about your project.

The construction took about one month as expected. Everything was done exactly as presented and on time. The workers were there on time and put in full days. There was a project manager and a project superintendent to monitor the job. At the end of every day, the work area was left clean and as tidy as possible. They were respectful of the tenants privacy and comfort as it's difficult to live in a construction zone. The project superintendent or project manager gave me regular updates and encouraged me to come look at how it was going. They were patient and took the time to explain what they were doing and answer any questions. I was frequently called by Kyle Tourge, the structural assessor to make sure I was satisfied throughout the process. These are great people to work with. They are professional, caring and take pride in their company and the work they do. We had a few glitches along the way which can happen with any project. They were on it and addressed my concerns immediately. For me, the way problems are handled is more important than everything going smoothly as something will always happen, especially on a big job like mine. I would always use Alpha Structural and would be comfortable referring them to anyone

We are selling our house and during escrow the potential buyer had all inspections done. As it turned out, we had substantial mold on the interior basement walls from water seeping in. We immediately hired a mold remediation co., but we also needed to make sure the mold would not reoccur. Our broker gave us the contact info for Alpha Structural and next day Mark came out to assess the issues. He said the only way to properly fix the water problems was to trench around perimeter of exterior foundation/ basement walls, prep the walls thoroughly, apply multiple coats of waterproofing compound and install a rubber membrane material around walls to protect them from the soil. Also, they would need to install a french drainage system around foundation/basement walls and it had to be at least one foot below basement floor for it to work properly. And they were going to try to tie in the french drain to our existing sump pump in our basement interior floor. Next day Alpha sent me the quote and I agreed to the terms. July 2, their crew started digging the trench which turned out to be at least 7 feet deep. Let me tell you those guys worked hard! Our soil is very compact so they were using jack hammers to dig through it. Finally, after days of digging they reached the desired depth. They did everything the way Mark said- prepping walls, waterproofing walls, installing rubber membrane and installing french drain. And they were successful in tying into existing sump pump. Next step, backfilling the trench and they did that correctly too with proper compaction. Throughout the whole process, the Alpha crew were very professional and did the job the CORRECT way- no shortcuts. I would highly recommend Alpha Structuring and use them again on future projects

Mark Schlaich came to my house the same day that I called to make an appointment. I explained what the problem was. After inspecting the problem area, he explained the cause of the leak and the repairs that were required. He carefully walked me through the repair process step by step so that I understood what work they were going to do. Once the contract was signed the work was scheduled a week later. Rejean Guy the project superintendent and the men who did the work showed up on time. The job was completed right on schedule. When completed the work site was cleaned. Rejean returned after the work was done to make sure that everything was OK and that I was satisfied

Steve at AKME helped me fix multiple floor to ceiling cracks in my foundation wall where water was penetrating. He also provided excellent advice on how to solve the source of the problem. He is very professional and trustworthy. He does not oversell. The quality of his work is excellent and immediately stopped the leak

The whole job was done efficiently, timely, and very professionally. I did not have to call, to find out were the construction workers were. It was very well planed and the different construction stages were kept in a timely matter. It was finished according to schedule. I was consulted during every step of the way. I felt very comfortable the way the job progressed. I have never had a construction crew as polite and ON TIME as this one. They did everything, they were supposed to do with a high quality of workmen-ship. I can highly recommend the company for their work and business practice. The Contractor Yogi Hadad is very competent and I would recommend him anytime. He is very particular about the job

The basement in our home was finished years ago, but we never got around to adding a bathroom we wanted due to running out of funds. Now it it time to finish the job, and I wanted everything to be perfect. I saw a few of Supreme Remodeling’s work on their website, I was very impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of their work. We ended up adding a very large and luxurious bathroom to our basement space. We added a large tub, separate shower structure, new counters with cabinets underneath, two sinks, and several lighting fixtures. As this remodel was part of our basement, nothing was prepared—Supreme Remodeling had to build everything from the ground up and they did a fantastic job. We turned the basement to a nice private suite with a new luxury bath, and I'm very happy with how Supreme Remodeling made sure we are happy with the end result. The remodelers were nothing but professional and always had time to talk with me and address concerns. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a remodel done right

"We had excellent experience with Alpha Structural. Charlie Rosenkranz came to see the property and advice. He checked the structures all around and looked in the basement as far as possible beyond the ducts that were filling up the space and would require tunneling to get to some areas under the building. Communication was excellent. He's knowledgeable and experienced. We appreciated his professional no pressure approach and answering our questions. The front main duplex needed Seismic Retrofit; it wasn't bolted and had cripple walls. There were suspect areas in the foundations that would have to be tested when bolting, to see if the concrete is in good shape. After we agreed to their proposal have the work done we scheduled a range date. They had to submit to the city plans for a permit to do the work and wait for the permit to be issued. While doing the retrofit we found out that the foundation in the front corner was damaged and that the building has sunken and was not level at that corner. Charlie worked out the details and bid for the additional work of Partial Foundation Replacement, Posts/piers, and Jack Lift the corner to level it. He explained the details and what's involved to my satisfaction. Alpha obtained the permit for the work and proceeded. The work crew did excellent work. Jose Morales was the Project Supervisor. They completed the work at a good pace, including the delay for the additional work permit, without complications or complaints from the neighbors. The place was left clean. The work was approved in the inspection which they requested and scheduled with the city. The communication with everyone at the office was also very good. We're very pleased with the experience.

"Absolute Maintenance and Consulting came out to a project to review the existing conditions and provide a proposal. (The work performed by the previous contractor was not acceptable.) They were extremely professional and knowledgeable. Due to the existing issues caused by the previous contractor, they were not hired but I wish we had hired them from the start.

"<p>Fernando and his team are friendly, knowledgeable. prompt, and skilled. He stood up for our special needs and provides contractors with information when we needed something redone. It turned out to be a big job because the house is so old, but we are very happy with the results. I am feeling safe among the nontoxic products we used. This was a very stressful undertaking because I had to research every product that was used because of my sensitivities. Fernando evaluated my proposals against the work and gave us great feed back, even giving us alternatives. We were out of the house several months, but he kept us completely involved in the decisions and we really liked working with him. The house was vacuumed and dusted very frequently during the whole process, the household contents and hard wood floors cared for as well as you could expect given the enormous job. We provided a list of requests about the environment in our home, about no smoking, no noxious fumes in the house, no trash, insecticides, or perfumes, and all about the safe products to be used. He posted our requests so contractors would all know. We will be done with the project soon.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /></p>

"This review is about 3 years late. I was referred to CALECCO by a mutual fried that had some work done by them and was very happy. This was my first major project so I was kind of weary as I had heard allot of horror stories about contractors. Long story short I had my plans prepared and called CALECCO along with 2 other construction companies I found on line (all licensed).
<br /> I decided to go with CALECCO as I really appreciated Andre's advice, knowledge and attitude. For every problem he was quick to come up with a solution. And believe me, in construction there is always problems. He was also the middle bid, about 8000 more then the lowest bid I had, but I felt that it was money well spent.
<br /> Andre and his crew did a great job, finished the project as promised. The biggest thing I appreciated was his problem solving capabilities, my house is a 80yr. old house, so obviously we had some unexpected surprises and issues that needed to be addressed. I am a bit of a panicer, so every time something came up, Andre took the time to call me and talk me through it.
<br /> I would definitely recommend CALECCO to my friends and neighbors.

"The project was complicated because we found after demolishing the old bathroom that our plumbing and water heater needed to be replaced which increased scope and timeline.

"It went very well. Joe inspected and photographed all the supports in the crawl space. They were reviewed and annotated so that I could see exactly what their status was. I was also directed to their website to see what their process is for correcting the problems and upgrading the foundation at the same time. I bought into the process, signed the contract, and the work was completed in the time estimated. It was a pleasure working with Art and Joe and I am very confident in the integrity of the foundation now. We were living in the Bay Area at the time of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and talk of the possibility of a good sized quake here bothered me. Now, if that should occur here, I think the chances are much better that we will come out in good shape.

He also had to deal with subs and getting custom work done while places were slowing or closing during the pandemic. I wouldn’t have gotten my project done during this time without him and Supreme remodeling.

"Roy and his crew did an excellent job on my fence. I had a particular design in mind, and Roy patiently talked through all the details with me…the line the fence would run, how we would handle the slopes and so on. He communicated updates to me throughout the process, and they got the job done quickly and with high quality. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the new fence.
If you notice signs of your foundation failing, don’t delay calling a pro. Here are just a few reasons why getting foundation repairs ASAP is so important.
The basement is a common breeding ground for moisture, as water can easily seep into the concrete foundation. Learn about how to act preventatively and reduce moisture problems in the basement.
Sometimes, simple preventative steps, such as routine gutter cleaning, can be enough to keep water out of your basement. But, depending on the problem, you may have to consider a combination of basement waterproofing solutions.
