Contractor for remodeling
We are replacing a sliding glass door with french door, taking out carpet from stairs and installing tile, doing a simple kitchen remodel (cabinets, countertop, backsplash, reduce size of island). We don't need a designer, but are looking for good quality contractors. Any recommendations? (I looked at past reviews, but were dated, or no recommendation was made by more than one person). Thankyou

We were happy with Jason Johnson from home healing renovations
I can happily recommend you BuildMark. They did an amazing job on my kitchen remodel. The contractor, Emanuel, is knowledgeable and we were happy with the work that he and his team did. His contact info is: 510-484 5765 www.buildmarkinc.com
Hope this helps! Good luck with your remodel!
I very highly recommend Marius Adamache from Marius Construction (adamache [at] comcast.net or marius@mariusconstruction) for this work. He's standing in my kitchen now, doing the final punch list items on my remodel! Marius is sweet and friendly -- super easy to talk to -- and he and his crew work quickly and efficiently. For this job, he demolished my old cabinets, and then installed new cabinets, lighting, countertops, sink, and a backsplash. He built a pony wall, painted, and did all kinds of other small touches that have made my kitchen look great. I also did not hire a designer or an architect, and Marius had some creative ideas about handling issues that emerged as the remodel went on. He handles the unexpected very well. If there hadn't been a delay in getting tiles (not Marius' fault), the whole job would have been finished in three weeks.
This is the second time I've hired Marius. Eleven years ago, he and a much bigger crew did a major house remodel, including building a set of internal stairs, knocking down walls and creating new ones, installing sheer wall and load-bearing ceiling beams, tying down the foundation, installing flooring, and much more. He was good then, but I think he's gotten even better.
As a bonus, he strives to be the best bid and handles the inevitable unexpected expenses transparently and fairly. I trust him.
I highly recommend Alin with Eco Home Remodeling. I got several quotes for the renovation of my small home in North Berkeley and Alin got back to me the fastest and with the most comprehensive quote of them all. The prices were fair and the written estimates included everything that we would encounter in the renovation. The communication was great and if something on the quote changed it was all done in writing, so there were no mistakes. These guys started work promptly, showed up on time, and even worked weekends to complete my project. Alin and the crew were courteous, professional, and respectful of the property. I would definitely use them again for any other renovations. You can reach him at 510 697 0679 or by email at admin [at] ecohomeremodel.com
