Coleman Construction

I’ve seen their work and it’s great. Unfortunately, getting him to communicate is another story. I had to text, email and call to get ahold of him, then spent my Friday night waiting around for him as he forgot our appointment and then after confirming it again, totally flaked and never even bothered to let me know.

Wendell and his guys are amazing. They worked hard, professionally, and fast. They are skilled at what they do. Wendell kept on budget and on schedule, despite the small time line we had. He was great to work with. This was my first remodel and working with Wendell makes me want to do it again. It was a true pleasure working with Wendell and his team. THANK YOU WC for making our home a home. We love it more then i thought we would.

The work is done! He’s the man. His guys came over while we were away and stripped the old siding off, hauled it away and swept the place clean. They’re prompt, efficient and clean.

Coleman Construction came to the rescue! Our heater blew up right in the middle of a deep freeze. We called around and everyone in town said it would take a week to fix. Coleman construction installed a brand new heater and vent system the next day, for a lower price than any other estimate. Highly recommended.

I’ll be the first to admit… I’m a very tough customer. At the airport, I push for the standby flight. At the restaurant, I’m not pleased when a reservation is late. I demand a lot. When my wife and I began the process of finding a contractor it was a bit of a nightmare. Everyone had 10 – 15 week waiting periods and refused to give us a real quote. I had a panic attack because our place was effectively unlivable without work. In a fit a desperation I turned to Unilocal and found Wendell. To be clear, we needed a complete gut and redo. The place was a disaster. He worked with my wife on design, he gave a quote (which he honored!), he got us discounts on materials. The guy is a legend. And on top of that, I really like him. I trust him. I trusted his guys. I actually worried it was too good to be true. (It wasn’t.) I actually waited several months before posting this to see how the place faired. Honestly, we couldn’t be happier. My wife has her dream place, and I don’t hear an echo in my wallet. Sometimes the system works. I encourage you to reach out to me (Wendell has my info) or even come by for a beer and see the place. His work was extraordinary. And since I can be so painful on the front end, I want to be supportive on the back end. I believe in Wendell and I couldn’t be happier with my home. Don’t be silly — Use this guy.

Wendell and his team are unicorns. Everyone we spoke to about our timeline, budget and expectations for the complete remodel of our Napa townhouse told us that Wendell was too good to be true. We were told to expect several delays in the project, lots of surprise additional costs, and lazy workers that we wouldn’t be able to oversee as we live in Palo Alto full time.
Well — they were all wrong and are now looking at investing in properties in Napa JUST so they can work with Wendell and his team.
In addition to exceeding our expectations (providing fixtures that were far nicer than what we thought could be done in our budget), his team stuck around to help with extra appliance deliveries and unpacking and setting up all of the furniture we purchased for the place.
I have zero complaints and we are thrilled with our place. I would recommend Wendell to anyone — it’s just a shame he doesn’t do work in the city or the South Bay!

3 years ago I bought my first house and asked for some general contractor recommendations and was disappointed with the lack of communication from the contractor I chose (not Coleman Construction but will remain nameless). I called Wendell w/​Coleman Construction, explained my situation, time crunch, etc. and he guaranteed me he would get the job done in the timeframe I needed and went over everything with me in detail. As a first time home owner, I wasn’t sure of what I needed to do and he took the time to sit with me, talk out options, work w/​me on the pricing and went above and beyond my expectations — even completing the job quicker than anticipated. His team is exceptional! I trust them with my home, their suggestions and they even make sure my little Yorkie is taken care of while they work. I have used Coleman Construction on every home improvement since then and even as recent as this May, my husband and I went on a trip to Mexico for vacation and we decided to have Wendell and his team remodel our kitchen while we were away. They had 7 days to demo, put in new floors, cabinets, granite counter tops, etc. and they did it in 5, working around the clock to complete this for me. I came home from vacation to a beautiful new kitchen, more than what I expected and couldn’t have been happier. Wendell and his team will exceed your expectations and give you nothing but professional, quality work and product!
Best in the business!

Wendel was recommended to me during the earthquake. My business was yellow tagged and I needed to get up and running ASAP. He showed up right away and got right to work had me back in business that day! There was still more work to do and he was very fast at getting the work done. I would defiantly recommend Coleman Construction.

Wendell Coleman really is the best and he and his crew did a great job on gut renovations for a single family home. He’s also got a great eye for design and knows how to stretch a budget.
