Constraction reviews in San Leandro, California

Our roof was leaking and Billy from Moctezuma came out on a Saturday to patch it up as an emergency. They got me on their schedule in just two weeks while the other companies I quoted were looking at a month out. The crew banged out the whole roof in one day, which was great. They were courteous and efficient. The price was competitive. I got a GAF Golden Pledge warranty which is transferable and backed by the shingle manufacturer. Billy is a great guy, easy to work with. Would recommend.

My husband hired Accel Construction to install a new foundation and retaining wall for our new home. We were very happy with their work. I would recommend them.

We hired Steve to come out and put in a retaining wall for us in our backyard. It was very narrow and down the hillside, but he was able to get the job done quickly.

We called several other contractors, but found his prices to be reasonable and most importantly was constantly communicating with us.

I called Attic Care because of suspected bird dropping and noise from the celling. We received coupon in the mail. For $95 they were willing to clean up the attic. When Dan, the technician came to my house with his assistant Roberto, they were extremely professional and timely. The work was done first class. Both gentlemen provided excellent service. We were very pleased and will call them again in the future.

I was very pleased with the job Atticare did cleaning out my attic, which was full of old blown-in insulation that had been used as rodent bedding for 70 years. It's now clean as a whistle, and re-insulated perfectly. The Atticare staff were professional, courteous, and responsive to all my questions. I'd definitely recommend them. I live in Newark CA, and was served by their San Francisco/East Bay team.

Don’t usually rate anyone, but so impressed with their professionalism, pricing and most importantly the results. Attic insulation has kept our house cool, even on the hottest days and reduced our power bill. Called them back to do a vapor barrier under our condo and there was a noticeable difference in the inside air when they left - no more musty smell. Highly recommend them

The AtticCare team was exceptional. From the estimate (on time, very professional) to the crew who did the work, we were very happy. The crew kept us up to speed throughout the day, shared pictures of before, during and after. They were great, would definitely recommend them. Yosyo was our project manager on site and was great for us.

We recently had Atticare clean out our attic, crawlspace and added R-38 insulation in the attic and they did an excellent job! Elmer B. was on time, had a great team and were very professional. Our sales person, Ariel also checked in on the work twice during the work and made sure we were completely satisfied. I highly recommend this company!

I found Atticare through a ValPak and I'm glad I did! This review may read as if it is an arranged endorsement but I am a consumer with no other connection to this business. They hit a grand slam with me in terms of price, service, quality, and personnel. Their bid was the best both in price and in the scope of tasks to be completed in terms of clean up, pest exclusion, and insulation. Everything that was needed and nothing that wasn't. My job was professionally assessed, explained, and the bid was in clear language and delivered in a timely fashion. The information given was thorough and accurate-- no hype and all questions were answered with patience.

The scope of the work completed was as it turns out, well described and more importantly met the requirements of the job, even when it wasn't easy. The job was done on time and each step was documented in photos so I could see that all elements were performed to my satisfaction. The job site was protected and kept clean and secure. Communication with the foreman was top notch throughout. The quality of workmanship and materials were optimal and most importantly appropriate to my home. Every person employed at Atticare was personable, informative, and professional, whether in the bidding process, job delivery, or office communications.
You would be wise to contact them if you need their services!

I just had my attic cleaned, rodent proofed and new insulation. I would like to say that the technicians and crew were excellent.

Francisco came to estimate the work. He was clear concise but detailed in his explanation and estimate of costs. He did not have to deliver a "sales pitch". He was polite and willing to answer any questions. He demonstrated his commitment and belief in the product and services he was proposing. I wish all contractors and estimates for home improvements were as transparent.

Danis and his crew were equally professional. They came on time completed the work as promised. The results were as fantastic. They were neat, tidy and polite.

I was looking to have our 20 year old attic insulation done. I had multiple quotes done. Two of which said they couldn’t crawl into our back space where the master bedroom was. Attic care came out and had no issues crawling above our master bedroom and re installing new insulation, radiant barrier, and a attic fan. Our upstairs stays a lot cooler and we have not had to use our AC unit since. We can keep track of our energy usage and bill with PG&E. We run the attic fan all day long and we save a lot more money compared to running the AC unit.

These guys were fantastic, especially the crew leader Jay Quinteros. In redoing our attic insulation and ducting and rodent-proofing they were prompt, efficient, did additional unanticipated work for a discounted price, cleaned up thoroughly, and did the whole job in the estimated two days even though it required extra long hours on their part. It is such a pleasure to work with honest, competent contractors who deliver what they promise. Highest recommendation.

These guys are awesome. We first checked them out because of the reviews. Michael came and did an half hour inspection and gave us a fair assessment. He didn't try to scare us, even though in the end we approved a big job.

On the day of repair, the team (of 3) came and finished the whole job in one day. We had a decent size crawlspace and they installed the insulation, cleaning and installed vapor barrier before the sun went down.
In the end, they let me go into the space with them to show me all the work.
Price was reasonable and fair, and now we feel more safe (we don't hear animals scratching under our floors).

One thing though, they really try to ask us to put review everywhere, hence you are reading this. but i was intending on giving one either way

I had a rat issue in my attic and non of the pest control companies I found recommended to clean the attic first.

We called Atticare and spoke with Simon at the office which was very informative and so we scheduled a free inspection

Dylan came the next day and offered to do a full Attic clean-up, rat-proofing and install new insulation. He also gave us the advise to hire a pest control after his team is done to maintain the results.

It all made sense so we decised to go with the services.

The team who came to do the service exceed our expectations by far!!

These guys are proud of what they are doing and I can tell they have been doing it for a very long time.

They clean and rat-proof our attic install new insulation and an attic fan and we can already feel the differance!!

I highly recommed Atticare and Dylan to anyone who has the same issue cause you get exactly what you pay for!!

Danis and the crew were exceptionally professional at their job. They showed up on time, extremely courteous, paid good attention to details and constantly kept me updated on the progress of the project. They did a great job cleaning out our infested attack which the previous contractor just covered up with new insulation. I highly recommend .

Atticare did a great job cleaning out our attic and installing insulation! Very professional, on time, clean, and great to work with. We have used them for a couple of our houses. Highly recommend!

We only had this company clean out existing insulation. They did a great job and the timeframe for the job was around the time it was estimated at. No accidents happened requiring any repairs. Being able to review and sign documents online made the process very easy. I would definitely recommend this company to take care of removing insulation for any homeowner.

I really enjoyed interacting with the inspector who came out (Milo) and provided me his recommendation and quote. His feedback was reasonable and it was easy talking through options.

This is an expensive service- I paid $5500 for 1500 sq ft attic clean-up, rodent proofing and insulation replacement + crawl space clean-up.

Pros: The crew arrived on time, communicated arrival times in advance and did a good job of setting up the site.

Cons: The sub-contractor who came out to do the job tried to sell me a service on the side (insulating air vent pipes in the attic) claiming it was not covered and it would be cheaper if he did it on the side. I was blindsided since (a) I did not know why that service was not covered to begin with since I thought I opted for full recommended service or if that was omitted because it was not required in my case (and had to call the inspector to clarify) and (b) I do not appreciate the un-professionalism of side jobs and extra payments.

Also, I communicated to the crew-lead that there were 2 entrances to the crawl space and right after I showed him one he said they'd start with attic first. At the end of day when they said they are done with attic and crawl space I went on to check from both crawl space entry and found the area around the second no where near clean. On pointing out the crew mentioned that they must have not had access to this part from the other entrance- I would expect better knowledge and judgment or cross checking - they charged me for the whole space- if they could only clean half from one entry they should know to ask that something seems off. They did a quick job of trying to clean up but did not vacuum and also claimed that had run out of sanitizing liquids.

What I thought was full service was not nearly full service. Apparently cleaning the crawl space does not mean vacuuming. And insulating the attic does not involve insulating air ducts in there. Too many fine prints.

Overall expensive and much needed service but can be better. Has the same pitfalls as any contractor job that sub contracts.

Update:

After I posted the above review the company contacted me and sent out a different sub contractor to finish up properly. This crew pulled out a huge amount of additional debris from my crawl space before they said they were done. I don't have a way to verify if this time indeed the work was left complete however I appreciate the company acting on feedback and making attempts to fix the problems from the first visit.

Our attic and crawl space we're cleaned, insulated, rodent proofed, and all new duct working. Everything looks great so far. The crew was quick and professional. Additionally worked with us to time the work to be done the day after all our asbestos was removed. I would hire them again if I had to do it all over again.

We had the whole house fan (Quiet Cool Stealth Pro 5.5x) installed recently by Atticare. They gave the best price/quote for the install and also the ones who could install right away. As we were going through a heat wave, we didn't want to wait for several weeks for the install.
The installation was quick. They did a clean job covering up everything including walls so that no dust would settle down anywhere. The whole installation took less than 2hrs.
The fan works great and we turn it on for an hour or two in the morning and also late evening to bring the house to outside temperature quickly.
The fan noise is minimal and you can barely hear it if you are >30ft away. It has a mild humming noise so not at all annoying. Our kids are able to sleep through it.
Overall we are happy with the fan and also the installation.
