Valenz Construction Inc

My wife and I have done many large and small projects with Ricky and his team over the last several years. We’ve done everything from ADU garage conversions to remodels to landscaping and also repairs. I won't work with anyone else. Ricky is not only a very knowledgable and skilled GC, but he is also honest and has morals. He cares about doing things the right way and he delivers what he says he will. His team is comprised of hard workers who are courteous, respectful, professional. Construction by nature is stressful, but I've always felt like Ricky's worked with me to reach results, and not against me. His prices are reasonable and I can say through my experience in doing so much work with him that I trust him as my contractor and as a person who has integrity. Thank you for everything you've helped us accomplish and I look forward to our future projects!!

My wife and I highly, HIGHLY recommend Ricky, David, and the whole Valenz Construction family! From the first meeting until the final day, Ricky was knowledgeable, handy, responsive, responsible, courteous, friendly, the list goes on. Long story short, the remodeling of the entire front exterior of our house (as well as painting the entire exterior of the house) went remarkably smooth, and any hiccups that occurred, Ricky was there to immediately address and fix. We will be using them for any other renovations and are so happy to have gotten to know Ricky and his family. This was the first renovation we’ve ever done, and like everyone else, we were pretty worried about the costs of construction and getting involved with a bad contractor (we have heard so many bad stories). We actually had a contractor before Valenz Construction, but we did not feel he was willing to take the time to walk us through all the details, costs, and concerns we had about the project, he was more of a “my way or the highway” type, so we parted ways with him. My advice here is to trust your intuition on hiring contractors. You can terminate your relationship with them any time until you sign something and they start breaking ground. Ricky, on the other hand, on our first meeting was warm and engaging and willing to slowly walk us through all the steps and how he would go about doing the remodel. Every step of the process with Ricky was great: the estimate included a breakdown of all costs, a timeline of each step to get to completion, and an estimated time of completion (they finished on time!). His costs as compared with other estimates we got were very reasonable and transparent. When the work finally started, Ricky and his dad, David, and his team of brothers and other workers were all incredibly friendly to us and our neighbors, and were very respectful of our property, cleaning up every day. David kept my worries in check, telling me not to worry about the process, that they had it under control, and walked me through any questions I had. Any questions that they had of me, they would also offer recommendations if I asked, and were very patient with my lack of knowledge about so many nuances of construction. We had one hiccup when a subcontractor did the concrete demolition and broke an underground pipe but didn’t tell anyone and then covered it in freshly poured concrete. Ricky felt terrible, but took full ownership and said whatever additional costs were incurred to fix the issue, his company would pay for it. They fixed the issue in one day, and we were moving forward. Amazing. I’ll note that sometimes problems will come up that are up to the homeowner to cover. For example, we didn’t know that there was no plyboard underneath the stucco on our house, so once the stucco was demo’d out, we had to install plyboard before we put up the siding, which was an additional unknown cost to us, but something that had to be done. My wife and I really can’t say enough about Valenz Construction. We have gotten SO many compliments on our house, and it’s all thanks to these guys for helping us craft our vision into reality. They’ve gotten a lot of deserved recommendations from our neighbors, and we hope you will take this recommendation to heart as well. One last thing that I have not mentioned specifically about Ricky, David, and Valenz Construction is integrity. Every interaction and every cost or additional item discussed was detailed in full and I always felt they were working in my best interests to do the best thing at the right cost. It’s really hard to know when you have someone with integrity in the construction business because it’s so easy to change things here and there that will add costs to the homeowner over time, but after working with Ricky and his family, I always felt that their integrity led them to do their jobs the right way all the time. 5 Stars and more for Valenz Construction, you’re the best!!

Ricky remodeled our Piedmont home's exterior in 2021, including the addition of an ADU. Then in April of 2022, I learned that we would be relocating to Europe. The interior remodel that Ricky and I had been planning needed to be started and finished in a hurry. Ricky completed the whole job on time and within budget and our renter was able to move in on August 1, 2022. We could not have accomplished that with just any contractor. Ricky and his team worked days, nights, and weekends, and they helped us line up subcontractors for cutting the kitchen counters, refinishing the hardwood floors, etc. I would say that I am pretty easy to work with, but I am also a perfectionist. All the work that Ricky and his team did on my home was of the highest quality and I could not be happier with the results. My home went from the Ugly Duckling on the street to one of the prettiest. Ricky and his team are good people who do great work and I would hire this team again and again.
