Review from Linda M.
Angi5The job went very well. We lost some time to gladly accommodate the El Nino rain storms. There was a great deal of mud, but the crew did a great job of cleaning up each day and at the end of the project. Rick was very professional throughout the contract process and thoroughly documented the additional work asociated with the 2 Change Orders. He was on site everyday and checked the work from the previous day and always discussed the new work for the day with the crew. Rick handled all the coordination with the sub-contractor that poured the cement for the new foundation and the company that ordered and installed the new garage door. Construction is very messy and noisy and Rick went out of his way to accommodate any requests from my neighbors to move the trucks or mitigate the noise in the early house. Services Rendered: * Straightened and stabilized 92 year old garage with new posts, shear walls, strong walls and additional bracing. * Replaced foundation and built a concrete wall at the back of the garage to prevent drainage into the garage from tree roots. * Installed a French drain around the garage with piping to force water to the street. * Installed dry wall to protect against fire, mold, and moisture. * Wired the garage for lighting and installed new garage door with remote control.
Review from William Q.
Angi5Ron did a "great' job..he arrived promply for an inspection of the damage, and gave me a written estimate by email within a few days. He seemed to know what needed to be done, and told me exactly what needed to be done...he recommended getting a newer roll up metal door, instead of the old heavy wooden spring loaded door that was demolished. The new door is so much better, much lighter to use, and takes up less space than the old one. the stucco work was impeccable., he also replaced the header , and right side of door with pressure treated wood, so it wouldn't rot out... One cannot tell where the damage occurred, and after repainting, the garage looks fantastic. Services Rendered: Garage Repair, someone at night ran vehicle into front of my standalone garage, and crushed the wooden door, pushed in the right side of garage damaging right front of garage, along with header, and alot of the stucco. Ron gave me a new roll up garage door, replaced the header, and right side support stud, and replastered with stucco the damaged garage wall.

Angi5After discovering the damage, I notified the Oakland police department which told me to file a police report which I did. I contacted my insurance adjuster, who came out to give me an estimate of the damages, and cost for repairs. At first, I contacted "Servicemagic" under "garage door contractors" . Two of them responded quickly and came to my house, and verbally said they could handle the repair,and replacement of the garage door. However, after 1 or 2 weeks, i had to contact them, but they didn't seem to keen to do the job. My relative said I should try "Angies List" since he heard good things about them. I called, and the customer service person, set me up for an account which was refundable if i was not satisified. They told me to contact "general contractor" on their list. I contacted two "contractors from "Angies List" and they came very promptly, and were very professional and told me upfront that they could do the job, and would both would submit a written "estimate" within several days. Both contractors came through, and I went with RDM Construction, being the lowest bid, and being located only 10 minutes from my home.. Rick is the owner and general contractor of "RDM Construction". He wrote out item by item what needed to be done, and the cost to have it done, was itemized to the penny. Anyway, after I gave the okay, he was able to start work a week later, and it took about two weeks over all from start to finish. The actual demolition and reframing, and stuccoing was done within several days, but what took the extra week, is that Rick had to subcontract the "door work" due to the new door having to be custom cut and constructed to fit my opening. From previous remodeling work done to my old 1925 home, I knew there would probably be some extra cost, due to unforseen problems. Luckily Rick was able to keep very close to the estimate, which I appreciated very much. Anyway, the garage door, has been reframed , and the stucco work he did looks great. I could not tell the door and framing had ever been damaged. I am very satisfied with Ricks work, and would highly recommend him and his company. Services Rendered: My standalone single car garage was damaged by a hit run driver during the night. The tilt up wooden door was crushed, and pushed in about 2 feet, The right door jam, and part of the wooden header was crushed and splintered. Exterior stucco, on the right side from the ground to about 6 feet off the ground was buckled and broken, exposing the metal lathe and fractured stucco work. The crushed door was totally inoperatable, so I could not enter the garage.
