JAC construction was fantastic to work with from obtaining a quote to the final product. In our case, we purchased an investment property and needed help turning the outside of the property into easily manageable landscaping. JAC Construction turned the front lawn and side yard from patchy grass to a clean river rock yard. They used landscape fabric underneath, ensured to take off enough soil so that gravel won’t spill on the road. In addition they also pruned the backyard, weed-whacked and cut down overgrown blackberry bushes. Everything was hauled away. They brought the right tools and machines. All in all: amazing, hardworking team, honest, friendly and great to work with. We will reach out again when remodeling is neededshow more

Wonderful! Dario was very responsive during all phases of the work. He graded, rock, and paved several driveways for me. He also assisted in stripping off an old lawn and grading for a new one. His prices are always very fair, and his work is excellent. I’ve never seen anyone quite as skilled in their use of an excavator or skid steer. He brings his laser and gets the grades just right. I recommend him all the timeshow more

Westward Builders just finished a wonderful construction for a new studio on a hillside. A big part of the job was excavating the hillside and build a huge retaining wall. We did not even dream that it could go so smoothly and be so aesthetically pleasant. The wall is a real piece of art and the look is very trendy. Somebody told us that it is very hard to find somebody in San Francisco to do this design . Terry Keast knew exactly what to do and helped us all the way with judicious advices. Stunning results. He gave us the best proposal for the job and he kept the expenses very close to the allocated budget even though he had to do more work that planned at the beginning. His crew was very skilled and efficient. All the workers were delightful, hardworking, punctual and discreet. They worked hard to save as many plants as possible when choosing the path for the heavy equipment. The job was done professionally and in a timely manner. The result is so stunning that even the inspector was amazed and opened big eyes in admiration when he came to check. As you suspect, we highly recommend Westward Builders. Our next door neighbor already hired him for a jobshow more

Chris did an excellent job. I paid him hourly - he always was very efficient, always showed up when he said he would and did a great job. When you are paying tractor rates, you need someone reliable like Chris. He has all the equipment you need for a large excavation job. He brought all equipment on site and only charged for the single piece he was driving at any given time. Some guys I got bids from only had a single piece of equipment (IE - backhoe, excavator). Chris's hourly rates were competitive, but I believe I would have spent at least twice as much with the other contractors who bid my job since no one else had the full range of equipment Chris has. For example, I own an excavator. It's the best tool for digging trenches or loading a dump truck, but not for moving/pushing large volumes of dirt for cut/fill which was most of the work on our job. Chris on his bulldozer can move large amounts of dirt at least 5x faster than my excavator. If I had hired a contractor who only had an excavator or backhoe, it would have cost a lot moreshow more

Peninsula Concrete rebuild two retaining walls in front of my house.one was 4.5" high and the other up to 8" high. The walls were previously wood and were rotting and leaning. They had a large crew with two excavators and began work on time. they excavated to install drainage and geogrid. All inspections were passed and they finished on time and within budget. The walls now look great and should last 100 years. Very satisfied and recommendedshow more

W. Isaak Construction Inc. was a very good resource. He really knows the community. He seems to be really a good guy. He's very thoughtful about the job. We ended up going with somebody that was recommended by our closest friend. It was just a certain situation. But I wouldn't hesitate a minute to hire him. His prices were very reasonable. He's talented and can do so many thingsshow more

I did thorough research to find an excavator to remove about 32 cubic yards of topsoil from my front lawn. After a number of positive responses, a few on-site evaluations, and a few bids, I landed on one excavator...who would later cancel with one day's notice. I began the process all over again. This is not something I enjoyed nor had time for. Nonetheless I called four more excavators. Rick returned my call promptly, was over at my house a few hours later, measured, calculated and provided a bid. He was not the cheapest however when compared to the other bids he was very reasonable. Plus he could get to the job when I wanted the job done. How did he do? As a professor of management, I can tell you that I am a stickler for quality and a complete fulfillment of contractual obligations. Rick delivered exactly what he promised to deliver and with no surprises. Moreover, he exceeded my expectations. His customer service and professionalism were excellent and his overall product was solid. The very next day I brought in about 40 cubic yards of organic topsoil. A big thanks to Rick for a wonderful job from beginning to end. I would give Rick Six Stars if I couldshow more

We had a small aging pool in our backyard that we no longer wanted. Within only a couple of weeks after I contacted Lassiter Excavating (aka Pool It Out), the pool is gone and the area is ready for landscaping. They took care to adequately compact the fill soil, saved some of the pavers and rock I wanted to reuse, avoided damage to the hardscape I wanted to retain, and left a tidy and well executed landscape area. Bryce and Carlos were wonderful to work with - prompt, professional, quick, and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them for pool removalshow more

After purchasing our new home we decided to add a ground level 1 bedroom apartment roughly 1000 square feet. The available space required some dirt removal to be able to build the appropriate apartment. After receiving several quotes me and my husband decided to go with B-Side Construction. They walked us through the building process and helped with the permits and the architect. the project took just about 2 months to complete. The house has a side entrance to the backyard so we never felt that the house was under construction, the workers were really nice and respectful to our property and us. I am not a construction expert but will do my best to explain what I saw. The build started with removal of the excess dirt to start the foundation for the apartment. Then came the framing and the floor, fallowed by the electrical and the plumbing work. Sheetrock was hung, patched, and painted. In the bathroom we decided to install tile, with all the appropriate accessories. the bedroom has a closet and a window, which was cut open in an existing wall and reinforced. The entire apartment has hardwood floors in each room except for the bathroom. The were even able to install a door in the back of the apartment and create a small storage space, really neat. The kitchen and the cabinets created very nice kitchen with black marble counter top. The entire apartment received 4 windows, front door, and a patio was built in front of the door in the back yard. We even asked if they could rebuild our fence which was falling apart at the time, so they agreed and gave us a fairly cheap price, since we were already doing the apartment they gave us a deal. Overall me and my husband are very pleased with the experience, for the money we invested and the price increase on our house, this was well worth itshow more

I am not sure I can remember all the details for the entire scope of work as I had quite a few change orders. Rick Del Prete was the lead on my project and made himself available to answer all my questions in a very timely fashion, from start to finish, even during a stretch when he needed to attend a funeral. I was not aware of til after but was very impressed by his continued contact and responsiveness. I was happy they put a port-a-potty on site so I could keep my bathroom private. Rick was also on site just about every day to inspect the large amount of workers coming and going and held them accountable to finishing certain items by certain times. The only times he wasn't there was to attend a funeral. Black Diamond worked very well with my continual change orders and complex nature of having to deal with various other contractors coordinating different types of work to complete my project and even had to wait until I had my house was finished being painted and patio slider door installed before beginning the project. They also worked in lock step with my electrician. Originally the project was to take a couple of weeks and the progress looked like they were going to finish on time but then the El Nino rains came and ended up pushing out the project (as well as my change orders only added to the delay). I discovered I had some drainage issues. Rick and his team were quick to find a solution and make the necessary corrections and have not had any drainage problems since. The estimate was right in line with others and even a little higher but I was suspicious that the other contractors didn't hear exactly what I was asking for and Rick took the time taking detailed notes on my every ask. In the end I couldn't be happier and got exactly what I wanted with all the finite details. They were very patient and worked with me. Not an easy feat since I am very particular and demanding about the ways things are done and I will say it, I am a bit high maintenance. It is obvious Black Diamond values the customer and are willing to work with you, after all this maybe a job for some companies but I think they understand from a customer perspective this is an investment..show more
