Assistance In Paradise General Contractor, Inc.

I was trying to pick out plumbing supplies for a difficult sink install. The customer service "expert" couldn't understand the unusual needs for my project and kept saying I could not do what was required. I finally asked him what he would do if he was on a desert island with no "parts kits" to choose from and had to fix the problem. His eyes glazed over... He was lost. Standing nearby was a fellow who offered his thoughts. He LISTENED to the conundrum I was facing and using creative problem solving he recommended a solution. He communicated his thoughts process clearly and his solution worked perfectly. I was impressed. That fellow was Diego. Diego is kind, helpful, thoughtful and easygoing. His kindness was refreshing and I liked his out of the box thinking. He is licensed, insured and reasonably priced. After having a terrible experience with another general contractor recently I was delighted to make his acquaintance and will be calling him shortly to do several projects.

Diego did everything he said he would do. He came with excellent workers and they finished ahead of schedule.

He was professional, on time, always and explain really well.

Diego Fernandez is a friendly and unpretentious professional. He provided me with a contractor's insight to repair my gate and fence. The cost was reasonable and he finished the project in two days. Money well spent. I will use him again. And by the way he actually answers the phone when you call! Responds to texts too!

Quick response, excellent workmanship, reasonable cost.

I had Diego install banisters up my stairs in my 1916 Edwardian. He was very careful to make sure that they blended with the rest of the house. The work was meticulous and he was very attentive to my needs and desires in the hand rails appearance. The work was accomplished in a timely manner, his clean was great. I can now walk up and down the stairs safely and the banisters feel like they have been here forever. I highly recommend Diego for any work you might need.

Diego Fernandez-Buzzy of Assistance in Paradise, crafted an attractive redwood front entrance for our home in Berkeley. He was willing to work with our ideas and came up with a lovely functional design while at the same time addressing issues like subsidence, drainage, structural problems and aesthetics. Our covered front porch was made of two pieces of concrete, one of which was starting to tilt into our front yard away from the house. Diego quickly assessed the situation and proposed ways to protect the existing structure from erosion and invasion by our cute little neighborhood critters. Diego and his assistant stabilized the roof, demolished the existing concrete, poured footings for the new structure and fixed up the walls of the house, matching the existing siding. Then, he built a beautiful redwood front porch for us with a Shaker style balustrade and stairs. He consulted with us on the various features and materials and we got exactly what we wanted. The quality of his work is impressive and we would recommend Diego and his company, Assistance in Paradise for any project you have in mind.

Took his time. Did the job right. Finished ahead of projected date, and created a beautiful deck.
