See What Our Clients Are Saying
Real 5-star Google reviews from Bay Area homeowners.
"Montclair Construction did an excellent job building our concrete stairs. After talking to several contractors and not feeling good about any of them, having only one conversation with Robert Jarratt sealed the deal. From beginning to end, Robert, Tom, Diana, Miguel & Maisel, and the entire crew have been a joy to work with. I just can't say enough about Montclair Construction, and would definitely use them again."
"We needed to remove a jacuzzi bathtub done by a previous owner and replace it with an ADA-compliant walk-in shower before my husband's surgery. I knew there might be some issues since our house was built in 1947 and never wholly updated. I got bids from major companies and Montclair came through with incredible care and precision!"
"I had them replace the flooring and drainage system for an interior courtyard in our home. They provided a fair and detailed estimate within 24 hours of coming to discuss the project and were able to start sooner than anticipated. The crew -- led by Eduardo Guzman -- worked very hard and solved an unexpected drainage pipe blockage brilliantly."
"Montclair Construction added a retaining wall and did some foundation repair for me recently. Robert, Diana, Javier, and the rest of the crew were all very responsive and reliable for the entire process. Everything was done professionally and they left my basement clean at the end."
"We are very impressed with the work done to our foundation by Montclair Construction. After meeting with Robert to talk about our concerns, we were supplied with a full survey of our floor levels and engineer recommendations. Robert drafted up a proposal and worked with us on creating a plan we felt comfortable with moving forward."
"We used Montclair Structural to add a large deck onto our home several years ago. They did a wonderful job, and we have referred many people to them since. The deck is so well-built, so aesthetically pleasing, I'm confident it has really added to the value of our home. Thank you Arthur and team for a fabulous job!"
"Montclair Construction has been our go-to for large and small repairs and reconstruction for over 15 years. We highly recommend them. They rebuilt an exterior wall and walkway that were damaged by soil erosion and weather, improved drainage, and replaced a parking bridge."
