General Contractor reviews in Oakland, California

This a warning for all developers & general contractors. Do not hire this man. He will betray your trust. Damage your business, and won't think twice about it. I have had nothing but issues with this Clemente. A dark cloud follows him and will consume anyone he does business with. Stay away from this guy. If you want your business to thrive.

CR construction had their license suspended in May and will likely be suspended again. A few others are going to sue CR shortly. Plan accordingly if you plan do hire them as your contractor or as a sub.

Call me Clemente. We can discuss this, unfortunately I have no other way to get your attention.

CR construction is run by Clemente Rodriguez. CR was hired to replace our roof and siding.

CR required 40% up-front payment, which we later learned is illegal. The schedule of payments in their contract ensured CR received 99% payment before even 10% of the work was done. 8 months later the work is still unfinished and will need to be re-done by another company. All the money we paid is lost.

CR’s work has consistently resulted in damage to our building. Deck demolition was careless with damage to the patio used to access the roof. Siding work resulted in water penetration and disabled interior lighting. Roofing work resulted in leaks to interior units and the garage. Gutters were damaged and disconnected resulting in uncontrolled water flow off the roof. Deck was demolished and improperly covered, resulting in extensive flooding to the interior after rainfall.

Their work is low quality, progress is slow and unpredictable, and they create a chaotic messy worksite. We had unused roofing materials abandoned on the patio for over 6 months.

It has been one misery after the other.

A Google search shows multiple lawsuits against CR for breach of contract.

It appears Clemente Rodriguez has a history of low quality work and unfinished projects. He had a prior company called Clemente Rodriguez Artistic Limestone & Foam Shape. If you check the reviews you’ll see the same issues.

Caution!!!!!! Don’t be scammed by this cheat IRRESPONSIBLE person.

Newton Construction gets the job done and done well! Very professional , honest and reliable. I would definitely recommend this guy!

This is a great company to do business with. I worked with them at 3000 Broadway in Oakland, CA and had a great experience with them. 10/10 company!

Proyecto is awesome, did a great job with two installs of two bathrooms. Would hire again!

Abe and his team have great taste in design and are top-notch in craftsmanship.

Proyecto is the best contractor we ever hired or could have asked for, we did an addition to our house with them and they were superb, they pay attention to detail and I love the way they managed my project, 100% recommended.

We have been working with proyecto on bay area remodeling projects for many years and they are a pleasure to work with. All their contractors are professional, very good and friendly.

Our remodel turned out FABULOUS. Our cabinets and custom fireplace were show stoppers and did wonders for our resale value. Proyecto overall was very responsive and supportive in what can be a stressful project.

My experience working with Proyecto has been a pleasure. They deliver a great product and work hard to gain customer satisfaction. I recommend them to anyone getting ready to start a construction project.

"We have had the pleasure of working with Proyecto as the architect on multiple projects. Their proactive approach, commitment to process, and attention to detail make them an exceptional construction partner. They communicate effectively, anticipate challenges, and collaborate to ensure a smooth project. I highly recommend Proyecto to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable construction team!"

We have worked with Proyecto for many years and they are on our list of preferred builders. They are committed to excellent workmanship, and always offer creative solutions to the many complexities that arise during construction. Thanks Abe, Manuel, and team for all the hard work over the years!

I have the pleasure of working with Proyecto Build from a B to B standpoint. If your looking for a company that cares, than this is your Team. Let’s face it, your California home may be one of your greatest investments. As we operate in unprecedented times you need professional guidance, expert problem solving and exceptional building practices. Abe and his team do just that. At face value their going to build you a beautiful home, but longterm their protecting your family legacy.

I had my bathroom completely redone by Proyecto almost a year ago. They did a great job and at a reasonable price. I was lucky to get their best tile guy, who's work is absolutely spectacular. The entire work was done within the promised time-frame, and the communication between all the parties involved was easy. I would recommend them very highly.

I’ve worked with lots of contractors and construction companies before but these guys are truly the best. Amazing quality and craftsmanship. Communication was perfect and I felt confident in trusting this team with my dream home!

I'm on owner of a historical house in the Claremont neighborhood of Berkeley and after calling and speaking to several contractors selected Proyecto and could not be happier with my decision. They show up when they are supposed to, have excellent communication and did very high quality work within the quote they provided me. Abe who runs the show is a genuine person who clearly knows what he is doing.

I am an architect and have worked with Abe and Manuel of Proyecto on several projects around the East Bay. In my professional experience, they have always strived to do things the "right" way, even through setbacks of no fault of their own. The company was quite new when I first worked with them and there were a few learning experiences, which have been addressed to the point that I now consider them strengths of the firm. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to have work done on their house.

Nystrom Design is a local interior design firm, and we recently completed a full-house remodel project with Proyecto. They were involved in the early planning stages with cost estimating and scheduling to ensure that the project would meet the homeowner's budget expectations and timeframe. The project was completed quickly and skillfully. We had a very complicated custom tile pattern in the master bathroom, and their tilers did a beautiful and meticulous job executing the installation. Proyecto was willing to work with us on custom details, and helped us resolve a few unexpected conditions that arose during the process. We look forward to working with Abe and the team on future projects!
