Alex was an extremely detailed and thorough contractor. He was by far the most adept and professional GC who bid on my project. Unfortunately the COVID19 recession has made me need to approach this project differently, so ultimately I could not move forward, but Alex was my top pick. As an Owner-Builder with previous experience building in the Bay area, I could tell Alex really knew his stuff compared to the competition. He's an extremely nice guy and was very prompt in putting things together. I hope I have the opportunity to work with Alex in the future.

We have lived in our home without a toilet on our first floor for over 20 years! No More. I now have a wonderful half bath.

Alex worked with our architect's design to build a half bath, by breaking through my living room wall into my attached garage, and building a newly imagined space there. Because we were creating an alcove to access this new space, I got the bonus of a new closet. Who doesn't want more closet space!

Alex is a true craftsman, and enjoys his work. When unexpected issues arose, he showed his problem solving skills, suggesting and executing work arounds. He has

Beyond Green was selected for a complete rebuild of our basement in ADU. Project started from concrete floors and was managed through to the final details. Alex does great work! He is very meticulous and responsive. As with any project this large, there were a few changes along the way. Pricing and communication around all of the changes was more than fair. I would highly recommend Alex for another project, large or small.

Not terribly reliable in terms of scheduling. Didn't ask for an address, but agreed on a date and time. Then, didn't show up or follow up. Cancelled follow up appointment unexpectedly.

Alex at Beyond Green recently competed a project in our condo to create a bonus room. This entailed constructing 2 new walls, relocating some electrics and installing a set of French doors. We have been delighted with how it has all worked out. Before we started, Alex took the time to go through the various options available to us for quality of materials and finishes to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Alex spent a long time preparing the area for work, carefully cordoning off the areas he needed with floor to ceiling plastic sheets, installing air extractors and floor coverings. This

I highly recommended working with Alex--his work exceeded my expectations. We wanted a staircase built to a small storage loft above our kitchen, and to have the loft space extended. He listened to us describe the addition we wanted and what materials and aesthetics we were going for, and turned that into a perfect design. He was collaborative and open to our choices and suggestions, and had excellent taste in all of the suggestions and choices he made as well. The finished product is better than I even hoped it would be--his execution and craftsmanship are incredibly impressive. I'd hire
