"I have used Dobson Construction at my cabin. He installed our plumbing and has done several remodeling jobs. He is a craftsman and a real pro. I would highly recommend him"

“Chris and the whole Dobson Construction team have been a dream to work with. We are ecstatic with the results, but more than that, Chris had an amazing grasp of the project throughout. He was so helpful in explaining each phase, what to expect, and how it would look. He’s the only contractor I will work with again.”

“We love the addition that Chris built. I was quite anxious before enbarking on this endeavor. Yet, Chris brought a sense of calm over the course of the project. You can feel confident knowing that your home is in good hands with Dobson Construction!”

Chris did a quick cooktop and downdraft installation for me. It was painless for me but I know he had to do a lot of work. Had to crawl under the house for the ducting, had to fabricate things on the countertop but the overall job was quick and clean. He took extreme care with our hardwood floor's as well as communicating with me on delivery and how the job was progressing.

Chris Dobson headed up a very extensive remodel of a 1930's home for me in Walnut Creek. This included custom just-about-everything and major redos of the kitchen and all of the bathrooms. It was a very challenging project and it came out absolutely beautifully. What makes Chris stand apart from other contractors is how much he cares about getting things right. He definitely went out of his way to try to shield us from any potential stress while still ensuring that the final product was beautiful. I'm very happy with his work and have already recommended him to friends.

I highly recommend Chris' work as a contractor. He gets things done quickly, efficiently, and right the first time. His crew is professional and they clean up after themselves. It can be difficult to find a good contractor, but Chris is definitely one of the best!

Chris Dobson is the most professional contractor I’ve worked with since moving to Oakland. His crew did an outstanding job, and it was the best installation experience I’ve had after many kitchen remodels. I highly recommend Chris and his team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've used Dobson Construction on three significant projects over the past number of years (kitchen, entertainment room, and backyard overhaul and pool house construction).  If our decision to send them repeat business isn't enough of an endorsement, we have always found them detail-oriented, punctual, collaborative, and courteous.  They provide excellent craftsmanship, follow through and rectify any issues, and problem solve as needed.  Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been working with Dobson Construction for a couple of years, and it's now been a full year after our remodel finished.  We're still extremely happy with how things came out!  The pic is of the main room just right before we moved in.

We wanted a more open-plan space and to remove some walls so our home would feel more spacious.  We ended up with something that feels absolutely luxurious.  They pay attention to all the small things so the final result is very polished.

Chris is also easy to talk to, very straightforward, and extremely detail-oriented.  During the remodel, we had weekly walkthroughs and the communication was excellent.  He kept us in the loop at all points, with no surprises.

He also honors his warranty.  A year after the remodel he still happily came out and did some touchups following normal house settling.

The entire process working with Dobson Construction was seamless, and it went so smoothly that we're starting some additional projects with Chris!  Highly recommended!
