Parrague Construction, Inc

Carlos and his team completed a master bedroom, study, and garage addition/​remodel for my home. Carlos drew up the plans, obtained the permits, and completed the project. The work was completed on time and on budget. I interviewed a number of contractors but felt the most comfortable with Carlos. Although we did have some misunderstandings during the project, I am overall satisfied with his work and would recommend him.

Carlos is great! Super-​friendly and a great guy. He took care of all the permits and dealing with the city. Work was done well and completed in a timely fashion (I hate it when 75% of the job is done and it takes forever for the last part to be done). Highly recommended!

I initially called to get a feel for the prices and availability. I found that the owner had a aggressive personality, and almost seemed defensive when I asked him when he could start the work if I accepted his bit. After hearing prices, I thought we had decided not to meet as it over my budget, and I had already found contractors that fit within my budget. Unfortunately, he still showed up at my home without confirming, and once again seemed angry. He said something to me along the lines of «if you are looking for the cheapest bid, than I am not your guy». I found this to be very rude.

Parrague Construction did an excellent job building an 800sqft addition on our two-​story home. After meeting with eight contractors, Carlos (the owner) was an easy choice. I have a background in construction, and Carlos answered all of my questions appropriately and gave me a good feeling from the start. He clearly had the experience I desired. The price was also competitive and the proposed timeline was reasonable.
Throughout the planning and construction process Carlos was always available for questions and concerns. His crew were very professional and friendly. There were a few minor issues that came up during the project, but they were all resolved properly. To complicate matters for Carlos, I took over the project after all rough construction was completed, as was agreed to in our contract. He made the transition easy for me, and came back after Final Inspection to fix a few problems.
The bottom line is that we’re very happy with the end result, and love our new addition. Thanks, Parrague Construction.

Carlos and his team did a top notch job on a project to demo and rebuild a 15 foot bridge on our property. We had gotten 3 quotes and gave the job to Carlos because of his professionalism and understanding of what we wanted the bridge to look like. The demo, carpentry, and electrical work was performed at a level beyond our expectations. Our redwood bridge is beautiful in the daylight, and autosensors turn LED lights on at night to illuminate it. My husband and I highly recommend Parrague Construction.

What is the worst time to have a roof done? rain season and during holidays. But when one needs to be done, one has to get it done. I manage a mid-​century house which has a flat roof and has been having problem for a while. Owner was a cautious spender and has delayed a comprehensive re-​roof job until the first rain of this season came when it was leaking everywhere, ruining the carpet and furniture inside the house. I met Carlos a while ago at a good friend’s family party and we chatted on home maintenance and remodeling a great deal. He was objective and shared honest opinions on these topics. It was very informative to me as I take care of many family properties. When I needed to reroof this house during Christmas/​New Year, I thought of him right away.
I have had a lot of experiences dealing with contractors and none of them were pleasant. I was often the one who ended up having to manage the subcontractors with my limited knowledge and bad temper. This time, Carlos was in charge with excellent project management skills: city permit was obtained in a timely manner (during holidays) and materials ordered, while concurrently discussing with owners on various options in solving the drainage issues of a flat roof. He was patient and responsive and was willing to make modification without charging extra to meet the owner’s specific needs after the roof structure was complete. During re-​roofing, there were also electrical and AC utility lines issues (because they were all exposed on roof). He was methodological and took care of each issue one by one. I would have totally stressed out communicating with owner and tenants (both were out of town but wanted to be well-​informed) and having a drop-​dead deadline to meet if it weren’t for him.
When I called Carlos and introduced myself, he said that people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. I am now very sure that he is all three to me.

Carlos and his team did an outstanding job with our kitchen and dining room remodel. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for great results within a budget, and with a personal touch very few if any contractors would provide. From day one Carlos took our renovation very seriously and made himself completely available to discuss the project or help us choose the options that allowed us to stay within our budget. Carlos took what used to be three different spaces and turned it into an open and usable space for us to enjoy while keeping the character and charm of our 85 year old house. His flexibility allowed us to save literally tens of thousands of dollars over what corporate-​type contractors were quoting us. We are already planning phase II of our renovation and Carlos will certainly be our contractor of choice.

Trustworthy, reliable, reasonable price and excellent work. They work quickly and efficiently, clean up every day, the workers are courteous and respectful. I will gladly use them again should the opportunity arise.

Carlos and his crew are very professional. Their work comes in on budget and without hidden fees. Parrague construction provided us with a kitchen/​pantry/​bathroom remodel that I personally thought no one could do. It required switching the kitchen with the pantry and moving a bathroom to the other end of the space. Think about the gas, sewer and water pipes that had to be re done from scratch not to mentioned the electrical. They did a great job and we are complemented on our kitchen every time someone see it. (look at the pictures from Sherman oaks)
You will be pleased with this contractor.

I am an investor as well as a homeowner. I have worked with Parrague Construction in both design and construction capacity on 4 major remodeling projects (see Alhambra and Arcadia for examples). The transformation has been simply amazing, and the results of our investment has been quite profitable.
It is not often that you get to deal directly with creative, knowledgeable, experienced and honest contractors. Carlos is a straight shooter. The quality of their work is excellent and they work quickly and efficiently. They are very respectful of your property maintaining a very clean and organized job-​site. They are very responsive to your needs and bend over backwards to work with you. Above all, they are very honest. Not the cheapest guys, but good work seldom is.
