CLA Construction

Chris did a excellent job finding and repairing the drainage leak at my home. I have used him both personally and professionally and he is excellent. I highly recommend Chris with CLA Construction.

We hired CLA Construction to replace our old redwood deck with a brand new composite deck. Chris did a fabulous job building our new deck from the ground up. He is a master craftsman when it comes to building decks, displaying great care and attention to detail throughout the process. We highly recommend him.

I have a recurring drainage problem on the side of the house and my (late) wife had a water gathering canister with a trash pump installed years ago to handle the problem that happens when it rains. Of course, the water does flow downhill before it has a chance to seep into the house, but without the pump, it builds up against the foundation which I'm told isn't a good idea. I used Chris two years ago to fix a problem and contacted him again, through his web site. Not a good idea since he didn't reply. So I called him and he came out the very next day ON TIME (extra points!). He and his helper spent several hours unblocking the drainage pipes on both sides of the house, reconnecting the trash pump which had disconnected itself from the outlet pipe because of a blockage- caused back flow, hand cleaned out debris and offered advice on a sprinkler system which is showing signs of wear -- to be address next time. Chris does other things besides drainage and I should have used him for some recent repairs rather than the other guy who came when he felt like it. Chris explained things, showed me the blockage using his pipe camera, and charged a reasonable amount for the effort involved.

Strong positive recommendation for CLA!!!

I had a French drain to help with the water that drained under my home, as I was at the bottom of the hill. That did not help, so I contacted CLA Construction and Chris and his crew got under the house and trenched from where the water was coming in and directed it to a sump pump, that drained all the water away from my house. Even the 2017 rains have not caused any problem and my house no longer has standing water under it. Chris gave me a very fair price(about half of what I paid for prior non-working system) and was clean and prompt during all the work.

This is the second time Chris did our drainage clean work. There is a big tree in front of our home that the roots are getting into the drainage line. Chris did very good job getting all the roots out of the drainage line. He also provided good drainage maintenance advise. I am appreciated Chris's professional knowledge and experience.

We interviewed a few contractors to build a playhouse for our kids in our backyard hillside. So happy we found CLA Construction. Chris was the most responsive contractor I have ever worked with. His ideas were much more detailed than our simple house idea. The attention to detail was beyond our expectation (he made the playhouse look exactly like our main house).

Chris and his team were great to work with - professional, punctual, accommodating, friendly, and more! We will definitely use CLA for any future projects!

Chris knows his stuff.
Water collecting under my home during the major rainstorms a few months ago revealed the need for a new and improved drainage system. All systems are not equal. Water is insidious.

I got multiple bids for the job and Chris worked with me to make his affordable. Although getting French drains is a pricey and unglamorous ordeal, after seeing how much work went into the project I fully understand the cost.
Chris and his hardworking crew showed up early every week day until the job was done. The work was extensive, requiring much trench digging, cutting into concrete and moving many plants, rocks and other material. They put everything back in it's place with much care and I only lost one bush that had been directly on top of the redirected drain.

Throughout it all Chris was kind, communicative, and thorough. He looked at the project as though it were for his own home and made adjustments or recommendation accordingly, but still finished right on budget in the estimated time.
I highly recommend CLA Construction.

Chris and Connor did an excellent job solving my serious French drain problems around the perimeter of our house. Very polite, efficient and hard working. Called Chris on Saturday, and he was here Monday noon to get the work done before a rainstorm was scheduled to hit on Thursday. I never could have done this myself.

We hired Chris to perform a drainage inspection on April's home. He was very professional and did a very thorough job. We can't thank him enough for saving us from buying a home with a lot of hidden issues from a dishonest seller. We would recommend Chris and CLA construction to anyone looking for a honest and knowledgable contractor.

I was very impressed with Chris and his crew, each day they showed up promptly on time and while working they continued to work hard and steadily through the day. The footings of the deck were all hand poured and evenly spaced, this deck will likely outlast the house! He was communicative through the process and ensured my expectations were met. I had several bids and he is very competitive as well. I wouldn't hesitate the call Chris for future jobs, he's solid and hard working, and the deck is beautiful exceeding my expectations.
