Collom Construction

We interviewed contractors for 6+ months, Michael C was recommended by vendor we were considering for new windows. We immediately felt comfortable Michael. He has many years of local experience, Revdex.com A+ rating and has a great pool of subcontractors and vendors that he works with.
Besides Michael's resume, we loved his enthusiasm for the job and achieving our goals with an eye on quality vs our budget. We will be using his services in the future.
Our project was fairly extensive including; opening main load bearing wall, all new kitchen, bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, windows, stucco and flooring etc. We are extremely happy and excited about our new home of 35 years.

We had Michael handle a bathroom remodel for us along with replacing a kitchen sink and door. We could not have been happier with the experience and the outcome. Michael had a very comprehensive scope of work to us a few days after we met, and we were very impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. He was up front about the cost and what it included and would give us a new scope of work and price when any changes were decided upon. I was not certain about what I wanted done to the bathroom and Michael was very helpful in his suggestions as to what would be a good choice or not. He even took me on a four-hour excursion to multiple suppliers to find the tile and fixtures, etc. for the bathroom. He was very patient and adamant I got the remodel I wanted. We are overjoyed with the final result. The bathroom looks beautiful and the quality of work exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be calling Michael with any other work we need done.

We interviewed many contractors and Michael was the only one that seemed to truly listen to what we wanted for our remodel. He then delivered an exceptional final product that exceeded our expectations.
And what was the most unexpected is that it was finished on time and on budget !!! Even with little details like dealing professionally with neighbors and change requests they were fantastic. Without a doubt would highly recommend Collom Construction !!!

We had a great experience with Collom Construction and our kitchen remodel/ bathroom addition.

Prior to working with Collom, we met with about 20 other general contractors. We were shocked that approximately 50-75% were not operating in a legal or compliant manner. This included: 1) not having an active CSLB license, 2) pretending to be a different contractor and mimicking their license, 3) having the wrong license type, 4) incorrectly stating permits were not required, 5) requiring an illegally high down payment (up to 15x legal max), and 6) unnecessarily charging for asbestos removal (3rd party testing confirmed there was no asbestos). Needless to say, it was a relief to find Collom Construction.

Before we signed a contract with Collom, Michael provided a very thorough quote and set reasonable timing expectations. After we signed, he was quick to get the plans submitted to the City for permit approval. While we waited for the City to review the permits, Michael helped us to select the initial materials and design details.

Construction began soon after the permits were ready. All of the people working at the house were polite and friendly. Michael was in constant communication and always let us know if there was anything out of the ordinary or required immediate attention. He even let our dogs out every time he worked at the house.

Now that the project has been completed for several weeks, we are very happy with the outcome and Collom's quality of work. Everything looks exactly how we imagined it. We are comforted to know that construction was done according to City code and the work will last a long time. We will definitely continue to use Collom Construction for any future projects we have.

We first hired Collom Construction back in 1994 to complete numerous design and remodeling projects to our then home in Sunset Cliffs including designing and building new partial underground garage. We were very pleased with the quality of his work and the experience of working with him, and continued to take advantage of Collom for additional improvements over the next three years. In 2002 a broken water pipe flooded a section of the house and all our records for the home improvements were destroyed. Years after that when we sold the house and wanted to address capital gains, we knew our only chance for tax relief was that Michael might still have his records for the home improvements we made! At best, it was a long shot, since this was more than twenty-three years after-the-fact, but to our great relief, he did! Don’t know why we were surprised, since this demonstrated exactly what our experience with Michael has been since day one working with him: Collom Construction was always on top of things and their organized and methodical approach to renovation stood out as an exception to the rule. Little did we realize that our investment in Collom then would continue to serve us today!
