General Contractors Near Saint Helena

“We just finished a fairly extensive 6 month renovation project at our house (new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, electrical panel upgrade, added plumbing lines, windows, doors, removed/added walls, etc.) and I want to give a glowing review for our contractor CA Bear Construction! I have been so so happy with the entire process and I am thrilled with how our house looks now. CA Bear has truly been such a pleasure to work with — they have been very accurate with their time and cost estimates, all change orders and finish date delays were due to me changing my mind about the design of certain things or wanting to add to the scope of work which they were super flexible about. They know how to navigate all the bureacracy in Oakland, everything went super smooth for me with permits, inspections, PG&E, and EBMUD. I worked with an architect for the plans but decided to take on the design aspect myself and they were super patient and accommodating of this choice. I never felt nickel and dimed for the work they did, in fact, I often felt like they went above and beyond what I was expecting because they have their own high standards of quality and want to protect their reputation with a track record beautiful homes. Almost all of the work is done in-house with CA Bear employees, they only sub out electrical, plumbing but even with the subs they work so seamlessly, you can tell they are working with the same people project after project and have awesome relationships with all the guys so there was never any scheduling issues. It felt like a highly organized group project with everyone on the same team. I love that they often double checked placement… especially bc I deviated from the original plans at various points in the project. And every person I encountered was so courteous, hard-working, friendly, and constantly tidying up after themselves! The craftsmanship and artistry (I’m not exaggerating!) of their team really blew me away. Their lead carpenter was able to create hidden channels in my tongue and groove ceiling so I could place pendant lights wherever I wanted without ugly cords or resorting to track lighting. My complicated FireClay Tile bathroom design was executed perfectly. I want to give a shoutout to Julian Jankowski who was my main point of contact throughout this whole project. Just the epitome of professionalism at all times, a patient guide, super detail oriented, an eye for design, the memory of an elephant, and also just an awesome human being to work with! He did a great job of explainin industry standards (“this is what we usually do for our clients”) while also being open to whatever I wanted (“we can do anything you want, I’m just trying to save you some money!”). At any setback or roadblock he was always game to problem solve, understand what my priorities were, and tenacious to find a solution. I am so happy about my new house, we moved back in almost two months ago and every day I still wake up excited to get to live here!”

“We had a smooth and positive experience with Bay Home Remodeling. They completely transformed our bathroom, and we are very happy with the results. Tom is knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He guided us through the entire process, including when and where to purchase materials and fixtures, and kept us informed every step of the way, including scheduling and passing inspections. His crew was efficient, skilled, and pleasant to work with. They maintained a professional attitude throughout the project and delivered quality workmanship. We were so pleased with the experience that we ended up adding a few smaller projects in our kitchen as well. Their pricing was reasonable, communication was excellent, and they delivered on their commitments. Most importantly, they earned our trust through their honesty, reliability, and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Bay Home Remodeling to anyone looking for a dependable contractor for their home renovation projects.”

“Great communication and high value results. I needed a contractor to take on a smaller job and IGreen was happy to take it. I really felt heard when it came to my requests / requirements - something that is of the utmost importance when finding someone to work on the first home I owned. The best part was the custom pass through shelf they built for me. They can do general construction, but also custom designer builds. Super glad I went with them.”
