Carty Perez

We had nasty flooding during the winter of 2016-2017. Paul came in with a practical approach (much less expansive than some of the other outfits) and put in a french drain and sump pump. Despite some big storms this winter, we have stayed dry! We were very happy with Paul and his crew!

Mr. Perez came to our home to give us an estimate for a French drain. He spent approximately 10 minutes looking at what needed to be done and said he'd get us a quote in 4 days. Here we are 3 weeks later and haven't heard anything back. I can only assume the job wasn't lucrative enough for his liking. The least he could have done is be honest and say he wasn't able or willing to do the job. Do not recommend. It was a complete waste of our time.

Carty put in a French drain and pump system for us in 2016. Before that we regularly got water in our basement. We have been dry ever since.

Thanks, Paul!

These are probably the guys you want for a drainage project in Oakland.

We had Paul & his crew design and install a french drain system around the perimeter of our house this spring. Paul came out for an inspection in January and wrote up a detailed estimate for the work, and we booked the work for April. We had a couple other estimates done for the project that were in the same dollar ballpark, but Paul's estimate seemed a bit more detail-oriented.

The crew started work right on schedule, worked for seven weekdays straight and wrapped up on time. Both time and price were identical to the estimate. These guys worked hard and did a great job working in some tough conditions (partially under a deck) and took care to be as minimally invasive to landscaping and such as possible.

We already had a bit of rain since the project was finished, and I was really astounded by how much water the system was actually diverting. Definitely recommended.

Mr. Carty came to our home to do an estimate for drainage issues. As mentioned by others, he gave us options on how to proceed from very expensive to much less expensive. This advice was detailed down to the type of pvc pipe. Thanks Mr. Carty. This information is helping us make intelligent decisions.

Paul is an absolute professional and takes pride in his years of experience. Even though we weren't able to embark on a project, Paul was helpful in sharing his input and helping me take next steps to resolve the movement of water issue that my house is facing.

We contracted with Carty to install an extensive french drain system around our home in the Oakland hills. They were professional, showed up when they said they would, and got the job done quickly with a full crew who worked every day until the job was completed. We called them back a year later to do some more work and received the same professional and competent service. We are happy to recommend Carty Construction.

Luck of the Irish that we became partners with Paul Carty and his high-quality crew. All hard workers, nice guys, and good communicators, which is important to his customers AND his vendors - we appreciate it!

We help deliver their aggregates and base rocks at a variety of locations around the East Bay, including Oakland and Berkeley and Kensington. Each job I've seen him do has been impressive and on a nice house. He is straight forward and I can tell treats his customers well, RECOMMENDED!

Wonderful Company!!!!!!!
Paul has years of experience with honesty and integrity! My under house Sump and drainage needed to be redone completely. A big job. Paul's crew did a great job and left the place spotless. I couldn't be happier. I intend on using him again for the backyard drainage this summer.

Paul was a pleasure to work with. We discussed several solutions to our drainage needs over the course of a year, and I appreciate his patience and responses to all my questions. In the end I felt confident in the path we took, and his team executed efficiently.

Absolutely top-notch. Paul is a very honest and straightforward businessman, and he knows his stuff. When the County suggested an alternate solution to the one we were planning, Paul immediately said he would refund me money for any work they did not perform. Of course, that's the honest response, but that's not so common in this business.

I know a little about soil and drainage, so I could try to evaluate our conversations from a technical standpoint, and I found his technical knowledge to be good (as far as I can tell). The quality of the work is good, and his crew are nice.

He was also the only contractor who designed a solution that I believe has a good chance of actually working, and the only contractor who actually showed up when it was time to get the work done. I actually had two people out for estimates before Paul, but both disappeared from the face of the Earth before I ever got an estimate. Not only did Paul provide me with the estimate when he said he would, but he also showed up to do the work months later, after I put the money together. If "eighty percent of life is just showing up," Paul's a guy to depend on. If I need to adjust the drainage in the future, I know who I will call.
