Contractor reviews in San Jose, California

I can't recommend Scott and his team highly enough! They did the rebuilding/repairs after a water heater leak destroyed some of the walls, closets and floors at a rental property. Scott gave me a fair quote for the job (it wasn't the lowest I received, but it wasn't the highest either) and worked with me to schedule the work quickly. The whole crew adhered to Covid precautions (which was especially important because the elderly, unvaccinated tenant was present during construction), did high quality work and were very professional. The flooring guy was even able to do a close match to the 70-year-old hardwood floor when replacing the damaged slats! Scott responded super-quickly and with great patience throughout the process and even provided me with invaluable advice on a part of the job his crew was not handling. He has mega-integrity and it extends to all aspects of how he runs his business, prices and performs the work, and works with customers.

Scott and his crew are very professional and know what to do. They gave me great recommendations on certain things and the project went well. He and his crew also accommodated a few changes during the project and the project price was fair and good. I strongly recommend them for any exterior or interior house projects.

We got connected with Scott through a friend’s recommendation and we couldn’t be happier! Our home’s foundation was sinking and we couldn’t open our front door or bathroom doors, rooms were sloped, and walls were cracking. He came out immediately to check it out and scheduled his crew right away. The work was done so quickly and perfectly, we are beyond grateful for Scott and his crew! Everyone who worked with him was extremely knowledgeable and worked so hard on every last detail to make our foundation right. He and his crew also removed an old wall mounted air conditioner from the 50’s from our home. They fixed the stucco and drywall so it looked like the unit was never even there. He’s so easy to work with, not to mention HILARIOUS! Our next goal is a kitchen renovation, and we are looking forward to working with him!

As an interior designer it is important to have a good contractor on board- I can highly recommend Trudel Construction. My projects go smoothly with Scott- he communicates well and he creates quality projects.

We recently had the unfortunate discovery that our shower’s waterproofing had failed, causing some damage.
Thankfully, we found Trudel Construction, and I can’t recommend them enough!

From the very start, Scott was professional, responsive, and transparent.
He walked us through every step of the process, explaining the materials, waterproofing techniques, and timeline.

Our new shower looks even better than before, and we have peace of mind knowing it’s properly waterproofed.

I recently needed to do some remodeling of our downstairs. I was referred to Scott. I called him to come out yo take a look. I needed to have some drywall work and painting for repairs due to some water damage. I also wanted new cork laminate flooring throughout the downstairs. Scott is very friendly we hit it off as he listened to what I needed. He got me an estimate the same day. It was a very s estimate and I selected Scott’s crew to do the work. The team was very knowledgeable and worked quickly. My wife and I loved the finished product. The floors look great. The job took less than 2 weeks when others said 6-8 weeks. We are very happy with the work that was done. The team is friendly and very personable. I highly recommend Scott and his team for any remodeling needs you have. We had a great experience.

I was referred to Trudel Construction by my realtor and worked directly with the owner, Scott. Scott is a local guy from the bay area and fun guy to talk to and very knowledgeable in his field.

My wife and I had several projects to get our new home functional for our living needs. Scott was was able to deliver on every project to completion, which was amazing to not have to procure experts myself and work with him on everything.

For example, we needed new HVAC units for the house and garage, a new electrical panel to support future solar/pool, and build out brand new closets since they were empty. Scott and team got all this handled in a rather quick turnaround. Thank goodness we have A/C and heat in our house now!

In addition, Scott and team has significant experience in building and construction. We had a vision to remove our chimney and add a large sliding door in our living room to back yard area. We saw his work he did for someone else and decided to move forward with Scott.

We connected directly with his doors and windows team and went to their showroom. Luckily that helped us change our minds from an accordion door to a large 14' slider instead. Scott explained the differences and walked me through the project now that we had the door picked out. It was pretty straight forward for him and he knew exactly what needed to be done with framing, the beam, etc. We had an architect design it thereafter and he got the job done and we absolutely love the transformation this slider did for our house - and it looks amazing and more or less, a piece of cake for he and his team.

Thank you Trudel Construction!

Trudel Construction remodeled 3 bathrooms in our home in 2023. I am quite happy with the projects. Scott, the owner, is responsive to concerns and promptly responds to messages. He held to his estimates for work completed and was fair with charges for additional work that was needed due to unforeseen conditions or our requests. Due to some odd choices in the original construction of our home, we used custom cabinetry to maximize space and storage and Scott having an affiliated cabinet shop to handle this part of the project seamlessly was quite valuable.

Scott and his team were great! Easy to communicate with and high quality work. We moved into a new house that needed new paint inside along with some minor repairs. Scott and Luis found a major leak in a bathroom that needed a complete remodel and now it looks fantastic with a new tub/shower, vanity, and tile. We needed Scott’s help with picking up the vanity and he met me at the Lowe’s to bring it to the house along with other larger items that can’t fit in my small car. His team is highly recommended with experienced guys such as Luis and David!

As a property manager who has known Scott for years, I cannot express enough words to show how much I appreciate him and his crew. They have always far exceeded both mine and my clients expectations as well as provide fair prices. I would be happy to give any type of recommendations for this company.

I recently have a chance to work Scott on a small project in bathroom and kitchen. Scott and his teams are very knowledgeable and professional. Scott oversaw the whole project and communicated with me throughout the process. The whole process was smooth and the outcome were great with high quality. I strongly recommend Trudel Construction if you need any house project.

This is our second time working with Trudel Construction. Scott and his team are professional, very knowledgeable and friendly.

Last year our second floor balcony was leaning and in desperate need of repair after suffering many years of water damage. Scott and his team restored our balcony and made it safe and strong once again. It also looks amazing.

This year Scott and his team remodeled our kitchen. We had so many questions along the way and Scott was always available to answer them. From making and installing our beautiful custom wood cabinets and installing our hardwood flooring to fabricating and installing our stone countertops, Scott and his team took care of everything.

In addition, our old kitchen had some water damage from a small leak we could never locate. Scott was able to find the source of the water damage and fixed the problem. He also removed any wood that suffered water rot. We cannot believe how much better the house feels and the water rot smell is finally gone. We can hardly believe the difference. Our new kitchen is beautiful, bright and exactly as we wished for.

We will not hesitate to use Trudel Construction in the future and are looking forward to working with Scott and his team again.

Scott and his team are one of the best contractors in South Bay that we had that pleasure of working with to remodel our kitchen, including demo the old countertop, removing the old cabinets, and installing new countertop/backsplash, and installing new cabinets with customizations (lazy susan, magic corner, L-shape cabinets). They also repainted our kitchen walls and took special care in protecting existing appliances & walls.

His crew are very professional, efficient and arrive on-time. Scott’s team pretty much did everything they could during peak December holidays to help with isolating water leak in our kitchen walls and got even their own plumber to take care of the necessary repairs. Scott is extremely responsive and available to his clients, whenever they need any follow-ups or have questions.

My wife and I will definitely be working with them again for our future home upgrade needs.

Scott and his team remodeled our laundry room and guest bathroom. His service and professionalism is best in class.

The areas of the house that Scott and his team worked was full of different angles and needed floor leveling. Scott was able to fabricate the custom cabinets, so there wasn't another vendor to coordinate with. By fabricating the cabinets himself, he was able to beat the time frame that was provided by the cabinet shops and still be in budget.

Living in Redwood Shores can be challenging with sloping floors, however Scott was able to level the floors out while making perfect transitions into the adjacent rooms.

I would definitely work with Scott again. He is definitely best in class in residential construction. Our laundry room and bathroom came out exactly the way we wanted it.

We have been working with Scott for the past two years on a very full and extensive renovation of a nearly 100 year old property in Palo Alto. We had previously been recommended to Scott to undertake some small works. This project was very different.

Scott really understands the value of preserving our limited heritage in the Bay area. He enjoys working on old buildings and understands the challenges and the intricacies of working to ensure that the character is maintained but that the building is comprehensively updated.

Scott and his team replaced all heating, wiring and plumbing in the house. The whole building was stripped back to the frame. Many said to us why don’t you just tear it down. We did not want to do this and Scott was there with us in supporting a renovation approach. The result is a fully up to date property that still has character and history.

In addition to all the work undertaken on the house including ensuring we adhered to current codes including earthquake requirements, Scott’s Blackbird cabinet shop build our kitchen, mud room and bathroom cabinets. This work was to the highest quality. He also build walk in closet fittings. I cannot recommend this more.

We met a number of the crew who worked at the house. They were all very skilled and experienced. This includes the various dub-contractors. Having a lead contractor who knows all the right people is very important.

We built a strong working relationship with Scott which carried us through some frustrating delays, some caused by materials shortages and some by choices on finishes. I felt that I was able to trust Scott which was critical as we were managing the project remotely from Europe.

In summary I wholeheartedly recommend Scott and his team. The real tests are would I recommend to a friend, yes and would I work with them again, definitely yes.

Working with Scott to remodel our kitchen was an exceptional experience. From the very start, he demonstrated extensive knowledge and expertise, which immediately put us at ease and helped us make informed choices. Scott offered the most competitive pricing without compromising on quality. The finished kitchen exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Scott for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled contractor.

We were fortunate to be referred to Trudel Construction to repair water damage in our laundry room area as well as replacing the kitchen & laundry room floor. We also had them replace some toilets and a sink.

Scott and his team understand fully the information and format that must be provided to an insurance company to accurately reflect damage. This is necessary in order to receive financial reimbursement for covered claims. This is no small thing and all details must be provided.

Trudel Construction repaired water damage to the subflooring, framing, and sheetrock. The result is that it looks like there was no damage. In addition to the quality job, everyone was easy to talk to and answered my questions. Scott helped me with areas I was unfamiliar with such as how pick flooring, types of suitable materials, pricing and more.

Scott uses specialists in each area of work and they are all talented. They arrived as scheduled and completed work on time and were polite and helpful. The worksite was always kept clean and organized which we appreciated.

We're thrilled with the results in our kitchen and laundry room and will happily use Trudel Construction when we have another requirement.

Scott and his team are extremely professional. They were great understanding all the small but important details that needed to be fixed. Scott's team helped us remove a wall, reinstall the drywall and repaint. They also performed several smaller repairs that were essentially in the kitchen, bathrooms, and on windows including replacing kitchen tiles. His crew is timely, and attention to details and cleanliness is their strength. Scott is extremely friendly to work with and will always give you the best opinion / suggestions. Their ability to deliver on time is exceptional and ensured that we can move into our new home as planned. Great job Scott and team!

We had water damage and Trudel Construction assisted with our remodel from start to finish. I should add that our construction kicked off when COVID-19 hit and we had to deal with some delays with insurance, materials and city permits. Despite the troubles on our end, Scott and his team were reliable, patient and flexible so our project was consistently moving forward. In sum, I am very satisfied with Scott's attention to detail, responsiveness and overall knowledge of construction. At no time did I feel like he was putting our project on the back burner or neglecting any of our concerns. Our kitchen and bath came out amazing! Our friends and family compliment us every time and we couldn't be happier. If you're looking for exceptional client service than look no further . . . contact Trudel Construction.

2022 - Scott and his crew came through once again. The upgrades to our 100 year-old house are amazing. They paid attention to detail and have the highest quality standards. They are masters at their crafts and make things look easy. More foundation work is needed. Scott will make that upgrade happen too, and we are grateful.
2021 - Scott and his crew are great. He managed a very complex remodel for us. Only two contractors would consider the job and only Scott had a positive attitude about it. The design was quite a structural challenge but he came through and the results are amazing. This includes a creative new entrance to the basement. Our house was beautifully transformed.
We are having Scott perform more upgrades on our now 100 year-old house. We are so happy to have him take on the current effort and looking forward to more wonderful results.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Scott and his team at Trudel Construction, and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of their work. After my water heater leaked and caused significant damage to my bathroom and kitchen, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. But as soon as I reached out to Trudel Construction, I knew I was in good hands.

From start to finish, Scott was responsive, professional, and attentive to my needs. He listened carefully to my concerns, explained the process in detail, and worked closely with me to ensure that the restoration process went as smoothly as possible. His team was equally impressive: they arrived on time, worked efficiently, and kept me updated every step of the way.

Thanks to Trudel Construction, my bathroom and kitchen now look better than ever. The attention to detail and quality of their work is truly impressive, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of home restoration services. Scott and his team truly went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction, and I am grateful for their expertise and hard work. If you're looking for a reliable, professional, and high-quality contractor, look no further than Trudel Construction.
