Bay Area Construction & Remodeling

I contacted Damon about a complete kitchen gut and remodel, but he refused to come in person for a quote. He asked me instead to measure for cabinets and countertop dimensions. No, that's the GC's job.

For a ~$100K project, that's extremely unprofessional and I would never hire a GC that starts by de-prioritizing my project and delegating work to me. I have interviewed a dozen GCs for multiple projects over the last year and never had anyone refuse a site visit.

The pictures posted by this business give the impression that they do major remodels, but the reviews indicate that they seem to specialize in small handyman-type jobs and do well at those. Most of the Yelp reviews describe minor plumbing repairs like replacing faucets or toilets or small partial room projects.

Bathroom remodel job! Professional, communicative, and kind! Def recommend
Very knowledgeable about bathrooms and other things as well. Not afraid to deal with the hiccups of an old house.

Updating to 3 stars as Damon reached out shortly after I posted my review, and passed along my message to the crew that did the electrical work.

We want to reach a solution and are waiting to hear back from Damon's crew now.

Damon is responsive, reliable, personable and professional. Even in the midst of his wife having a baby, he responded to my message.

I have used Bay Area Construction & Remodeling multiple times now. They have done fantastic work and I would highly recommend them, their work is done to a very high standard and their employees are super friendly and accomodating.

I cannot say enough nice things about Damon and the team! We had some minor leaking during the heavy rains, and they quickly and thoroughly repaired our windows and a crack in our stucco. They were courteous, responsive, prompt and on budget. I will definitely be going back when something (inevitably) needs fixing in our 100 year old home!

I'm bummed to write this update because I really like Damon and for the most part we had a great experience. However, when his crew was working on our kitchen they installed a water spout behind our fridge and it never worked properly. It always had flow problems and over time there was only a trickle that came out. They came out one time to fix the problem and the water flow improved a little for a couple days but went right back to not working. I called several times and they said they would come look again but they never scheduled anything and after a while my texts and calls weren't even answered. This was probably a year ago and finally I decided to just hire a plumber to fix the problem. He said that technically it was installed correctly but they used a 1/4"" waterline instead of a larger one (I believe they replaced with 1/2"") and the type of junction they used are notorious for clogging which caused the problem. I am only taking away one star because #1 our experience was still by and large positive, #2 plumbing is not their specialty and they didn't do anything wrong, just didn't do it the way a plumber would recommend, and #3 I would still absolutely recommend them and would still use them in the future. I am just disappointed that this went on for so long and we had to spend $700+ to fix the problem.

Damon's team was kind and efficient. They were honest and communicative the entire time and did a great job problem solving during a relatively tricky, and extensive, tub and shower redo. They're a wonderfully personable team and we'd definitely hire them to help us with future projects!

Damon and Carlos came to the rescue when we recently needed to update the plumbing in our laundry area. Damon provided a clear, itemized quote and slotted us in as soon as possible. Thankfully, they were slated to take care of the plumbing and electrical issues in our laundry room because we also discovered major leaking under our sink. Turns out, the team that ""refreshed"" our house before we purchased it did a superficial job that could've caused a lot more damage. Carlos fixed the issues in both areas quickly and professionally.

I highly recommend Damon and his team as he's transparent, fair, and thorough. He may not be the least expensive option but you get what you pay for. We'll definitely be using him and his team again!

A tree branch fell on our electrical service lines and took out the power. We needed the power restored urgently! I called and they were able to send someone to start the repairs in an hour! AMAZING!

They sorted out the permit and dealing with the county inspection as well. The county were slow, but these guys were on top of chasing them.

Most other places didn't have time to come straight away, or asked for absurdly high rates. These guys charged a fair price, and most importantly got us our power back as quickly as possible.
