All Seasons Construction

I had All Seasons address a number of problems several years back in what had been my periodically flooding basement. This was in February of 2014 - during the next few years of drought it was hard to tell initially what the results were.
All Seasons re-graded my basement entrance and put in a French Drain with an attached sump pump to divert the water from my house.
Last year during the torrential rains we had, there was not a drop of water in my basement! I now have peace of mind and a dry basement, thanks to All Seasons. - Hali Hammer, Berkeley

11/10 Would TOTALLY recommend. We moved into a fixer with a bunch of drainage issues, particularly our damp and leaky basement.

Jeremy, who was our main point of contact, initially came in, walked around our home with us and spoke in detail what he'd recommend, which was creating a trench inside our crawlspace and having drain pipes run through the side of the house which gave the added bonus of fixing up our slanted concrete walkway. The work would be noisy and super dirty, but the foreman Miguel and his team were very efficient and clean! They made sure to protect the garage and our items with plastic and hosed down the driveway before they left for the day.

UPDATE: of course the owner will dismiss this as much as they can. I have security camera footage for the visit and their bogus proposal in writing, which was completely unnecessary given the walls conditions (verified by a local reputable structural engineer).

If you need some fishy bid, All Seasons Construction is your true friend!

The buyer of our house wanted to bail out offer but all contingencies have been removed. Their realtor was a genius. He arranged All Seasons Construction to provide a scary special quote and used that the scared us away and got the deposit back.

Based on our security camera footage, All Seasons Construction sent out someone to our house at 6am before the sunrise. In pitch dark, they did a "wonderful" job "assessing the retaining walls" in under 2 minutes, and came back with an estimate of hundred thousands of dollars to "tear down and rebuild everything" unnecessarily while a local reputable structural engineer already gave his opinion of the wellness of the walls.

Of course the strategy worked because we don't want any trouble to delaying of selling our house. The seller realtor won the game and got all the deposit back. All Seasons Construction made some quick bucks by selling their moral and ethics.

If you need a fishy contractor, they are the one!

Great and fast and clean work , great communication skill . I will highly recommend them to everyone

Cannot WAIT to work with them on my first and forever home and HOPE they can squeeze me in between jobs (pretty please). Jeremy answered my call when I was frantically trying to get a second opinion about French drains and came out the next day. He was on time and extremely professional. $250 fee to come out if you own the home and it is credited back if you hire them for a job which is extremely reasonable given that I just paid $450 for another company 2 days prior that doesn't do the credit back. Jeremy was extremely thorough and poked his head into the crawl space to better evaluate the water situation after days of rain. He also noted that a tree root may be a potential issue and recommended an arborist to opine on the impact to their plans.

Jeremy got the proposal out in about 26 hours from the time of inspection and the price is reasonable and his report assessment was thorough and solid. I can see why this company is diamond certified and has a 4.7 rating on Yelp currently. Really looking forward to working with you Jeremy, Mark, and your team. I can see why Danny and Nairobi both highly recommended you when I was frantically seeking a drainage pro. Thank you! Hope to hear some good news soon re scheduling

Charges $250 for a bid, even when given plans that lay out all the details. I asked if they can provide a rough range, and the owner replied saying "if you are so price sensitive that $250 is too much for a bid, we are likely not a match, we are rarely the least expensive option".

$250 for a bid is $250 more than anyone else has asked for the opportunity to bid on a large project. And not even giving a range to assess if it's even worthwhile to pay that fee... Hard pass.

I appreciate marks response below- however it's the attitude in communication that is uncalled for and not appreciated. Saying if you are "so price sensitive about a $250 estimate... maybe money grows on trees for you, I wish it did for us. Your reputation is based on how you communicate with people. And if I hear this calous disregard for your clients money upon our initial interactions, that tells me everything I need to know about your services and costs of working with you. And others should be aware.

There are many honest contractors who want a shot at doing business together and are gracious for the opportunity to prepare a bid. That's the cost of doing business for the industry. But you guys decide to charge for a bid - which is fine, you do you. But you charge $250 AND are jerks about it.

We felt so lucky to have found All Seasons Construction to do our massive French drain project! Jeremy Ke, our liaison with the company, was wonderful to work with: he personable, knowledgeable, efficient, thoughtful, and really helpful.

The company's price was good. Our job was daunting; it involved digging out a lot of dirt from the crawlspace of the house, and also 6 foot deep trench on the outside of the house that ran to the street. The workers were amazing. We couldn't believe how quickly they got the job done, and we couldn't have been happier with the work.

We couldn't recommend All Seasons Construction more highly!

We had a deck replaced and Manuel was over the top professional The deck he built for us top to bottom was truly one of the finest decks possible. All Seasons can be recommended without hesitation. You can contact us if you want to discuss his work and that of his 10 man crew. Jim Huegli

Mark knows his craft and doesn't mince his words. I appreciate his professionalism and patience in the process of choosing options.

We hired All Seasons for a major foundation replacement along with general retrofitting work - we had two perimeter foundation walls that were failing, and I got in touch with Mark to come take a look. He was super responsive and gave very clear information to help us make a hiring decision. He also didn't try to suggest anything we didn't need while at the same time worked with our structural engineer to come up with a plan to get our foundation to a place where we wouldn't ever have to worry about it again.

Construction started nearly exactly when he predicted it would several months after signing the contract, and we then started working with Jeremy and Miguel (the foreman for the project). I can't speak highly enough of either of them, and specifically Miguel when he managed and worked on our project.

We had a tight deadline to finish the project by and Miguel ensured that we hit it. Him and the crew showed up early every morning and worked long days + weekends when needed to stay on track. They also cleaned up the job site daily and made sure our gates and basement door were closed when they left each day, and they continuously beat timelines that he set.

The new foundation is of super high quality and we passed the city inspections with no issues. The new walls and floor, and french drain, all look great. I'd highly recommend All Seasons for any foundation work.

One minor note that I also appreciated is that they didn't put up any signage or go to neighbors houses advertising while they worked on our house (which is something that other companies told me that they'd do). Not a huge deal, but it was another small example of them showing that they were solely focused on completing our new foundation and not trying to bring in the next job.

No real review to give nor sense of this business reliability, but like others, we were surprised to be told there would be a $150 fee for an estimate. We found All Seasons here on Yelp, where their own banner specifies "Free Estimates"

Choosing two-stars only because I'm obligated to choose something, but really just wanting to let other Yelpers know about the false or out-of-date advertising here.

Edit, response to Mark C.'s reply below:

That's a long response justifying the fee, but I'm not questioning the fee itself. Totally fair. Just letting other Yelpers know that your primary banner is misleading, maybe to save some time.

You should be able to find and update it - it has your name on it, Mark C, and is the main "About the business" field (the one we users first see).
