**★★★★★ — Michele French, Nov. 2016**

> Wonderful contractor.  He did a major remodel for me in 2013 on every room except 2 bedrooms - complete gut job on kitchen and bath.  It was done in under 4 months.   Very collaborative with practical orientation.  Focuses on your job; delivers what he promises and does it when he says he will.  Clear explanations of timeline and costs.  Makes sure work is complete and high quality.  He has done 2 smaller jobs since and I've been totally satisfied with every project.  Highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — Elizabeth Kleinsorg, Nov. 2016**

> Richard is a great contractor!  I've worked with him on three projects.  On each project Richard has put together a detailed bid and schedule.  He was very conscientious at managing the project cost and schedule.  There were times when scope expansions happened - but they were very well managed.

**★★★★★ — Linnea Sosa, Sept. 2015**

> Richard Dobson, General Contractor, with Bay-Marin Construction remodeled my Eichler kitchen.  Mr. Dobson has been a General Contractor for over twenty years, and the subcontractors he suggested are those with whom he has conducted business for a like period of time.  Mr. Dobson is client oriented, very easy to work with, and his contracting experience coupled with his art background adds a dimension that augments design decisions.  I am very pleased with my kitchen remodel, and I have no hesitation in recommending Bay-Marin Construction.
