Matt Palm Construction

What a great experience. This company has all the right tools to create an experience that is friendly to the clients needs and accommodates your every need. Diffidently a re-​do for me.

WOW… this guy was referred to me by Joesef Jackson at Century 21 Real Estate as a reputable «handyman». After meeting with him in March, he said he would be back at the house to fix everything. Hadn’t heard from him, emailed him, and he FINALLY replied that would be there on ⁴⁄₁₃. No show. Emailed again, FINALLY replied that he would be there today, ⁴⁄₁₆. No show. Really? Business must be good, however, a response to a customer would have been appreciated. Looking for another handyman now, hopefully one that is reliable!!!

Matt Palm Construction did an excellent job on our backyard. It was enlightening to have a contractor who also had the skills to design. Our yard looks like paradise thanks to Matt and his crew!
We found his crew to be very professional and considerate. At the end of each day, the job site was cleaned up nicely. The quality of his work far surpasses work we have had done by others in the past.
I highly recommend Matt Palm Construction when you are looking for a quality contractor who will get the job done on time and in a professional manner!

Matt Palm Construction is mediocre … neither the best nor the worst, however for the prices he charges the majority of the work is sub par. If you hire him, some caveats:
1. Insist on detailed estimate, listing each and every component of job with pricing, not a «total» only estimate;
2. prior to start of any work, require proof of current: liability insurance, work comp insurance, CA contractor’s license and city business license;
3. acquire any and all building permits required prior to start of job (he prefers to do work without permits);
4. if extras are added after start of job, insist on price BEFORE allowing work to begin (he will try to talk you into more work every chance he gets);
5. be present during ALL work to insure all work is done as agreed, no unwanted work is done and charged for, any damage is taken care of, to monitor hours actually worked to avoid overpayment on job, and no unwanted «visitors, friends, or pets» of employees are allowed on your property (this is an insurance risk for you, the homeowner);
6. be aware he says he uses sub contractors (but they may, in fact, be employees): ask for items listed in #1 BEFORE you allow them on your property to work;
7. Get at least one other quote … you will most likely be able to get the same work done with better quality for less money
