Emercon Construction Inc

John DeRose was our Superintendent for a flood in our downstairs due to our washing machine overflowing. Who knew water could damage a house in so little time.
He was always professional, friendly and responsive to phone calls or texts from us through out the restoration process.
He outlined the plan to put my house back together and was spot on with his timing of all the of the crews he managed. Everyone that came through the house, was professional, neat and did an excellent job. They were even great with my two unruly dogs.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Emercon Construction and be sure to ask for John DeRose. carla rn

Thank you, Erik Jones, Israel Jones, and Ruth Espindola for doing a great clean up job on my kitchen and bedroom mold which resulted from a serious leak. They were most professional, arrived on time, and answered my many questions. Will be using Emercon to build back my townhouse.

Alan with Emercon handled the job at my house after a garage fire that ultimately caused extensive damage throughout the entire house. The repairs were made and his professional work ethnic made it a lot less stressful
He and his subs were always respectful and attentive to the details during the job. I would highly recommend Alan and Emercon if you are looking for a Contractor.

Eric and his assistant Juan were beyond amazing. They were knowledge and more importantly, clean! We had lots of water damage from the recent El Nino storms unfortunately, and the duo has been responsive and professional. They came and took of their shoes so they wouldn’t trek mud through our house. In addition, they left the place as immaculate as they found it. As of right now, there are multiple large machine that are sucking up the moisture of the water damage in our walls. Will report back if anything changes, but Eric and Juan will be back to finish the job. From what we’ve experienced thus far, we’re very pleased.

Drunk driver hit our garage and front house wall — small job, difficult street to work on, no local contractors were interested. Staff very professional, responsive, great service and follow through. We are picky and everything came out to our satisfaction. Damaged garage was removed and boarded up promptly — Had stonework, permitting, shear wall, drywall, garage and painting done.

Emercon (we used the Chatsworth location) provided excellent service in the repair of our flood damage. The workmanship was first-​rate, they were always responsive and punctual as well as professional. We would use them again for any type of construction job we might have in the future (and that is probably the best recommendation we could give!)

Emercon gets 5 Stars from me. The quality of work was outstanding!!! Everything they did was done professionally from the estimator fully explaining the repair process to me to the superintendent running the job on schedule and keeping me updated. Also impressive is the customer service from everyone at Emercon. I would definitely use Emercon again should I have another unfortunate insurance restoration loss

Three month ago, I got a terrible water leak from a ceiling in our kitchen. As a result, almost the whole kitchen got drenched, drywall is broken & opened, my wife cried. Then our insurance company send us guys form Emercon. They did great job! So many professional & friendly guys came over to fixed our kitchen. In fact, each one of them assigned for every single stage, such as taking asbestos out of it, rebuilding the drywall, repainting, designing & installing a new cabinet, fixing a sink and more. Meantime, whole operation was well-​managed by Mr. Derek Perkins. He is the MAN! I’m pretty sure I was a very demanding client during the construction. But He was always working hard, very kind, attentive & considerate. By the way, our kitchen is not merely got fixed. We got a brand new granite counter top for it. My wife is smiling now. Thank you Emercon for your all of hard works! Thank you Derek! ! You rock! God bless U forever!

I used Emercon back in July b/​c we found out that we had a rotted glue lam beam due to water damage. I was in the process of moving overseas and getting the house rented, so these repairs needed to be done before I could get the house rented. The house rental was delayed by a month due to Emercon’s schedule. They did not start work as planned, and they did not fix many details which were promised to me by Tad, and Derek the foreman.
I had absolutely no problem with the mold abatement team, they were a very nice father son team, so I would those gentlemen a 5 star.
However, I referred to the stucco crew as the ‘rude crew’. They swore, they spat on my driveway, they walked in as if they owned the house, they left the door open constantly even though I asked them to keep it closed as the AC was on. One worker might have been drunk or high.
1). The ceiling fan was not installed, and then when it was installed, it wasn’t even hooked up to existing wiring.
2). The cracks in the planter were forgotten, then only one crack was fixed leaving two others un-​repaired right next to it.
3). Downspouts which were promised were never installed, Emercon seems to be mad that they need to go back to my house b/​c they failed to do what THEY PROMISED.
4). The stucco workers mistreated my dog (a Doberman)…I had a dog-​sitter watching her when I was gone for the weekend. I left Roxie confined to the kitchen, and left a note to the stucco guys to leave her alone with access to her dog-​door and water. Instead, when it was 100 degrees out, they locked her in her kennel, put a thick blanket over it, and left her in the kennel even after they left our house. According to our neighbor who sleeps during the day, Roxie barked the entire time she was locked up, she injured herself by trying to claw her way out, and she peed and pooped in her kennel… she was probably in her kennel for 12 hours with no access to water. The poor dog-​sitter had to clean out her messy kennel!!! Our neighbor, who isn’t bothered by much, was pretty upset on this particular day and he was concerned about the competence of the stucco crew.
5). Competence of the stucco crew… so this glue lam beam supported a new bedroom built in 2007. It was a MAJOR STRUCTURAL SUPPORT BEAM that supported a bedroom built above our front porch. If that rotted beam collapsed, the whole 4^th bedroom would crash down on to the porch. The ‘rude crew’ put a couple 2 x 4s under the bedroom that overhangs the porch… my husband happened to come home from overseas and said WTH are you doing? You guys need to reinforce the bedroom more than that… any idiot could see that!!! Even the neighbors, many who are contractors themselves (who all saw and helped with the 2007 construction) were worried about the bedroom and the flimsy support. The stucco guy (the one who I suspected was drunk) argued with my husband who designed the plans himself for the 2007 remodel!!! My husband then called the foreman.
6). In fact, the property manager would not enter the house when the ‘rude crew’ stucco people were there, she did not feel comfortable with them at all, and I don’t blame her! Thank God I had Roxie, a Doberman, when the boys and I were still in the house with the ‘rude crew’.
Personally, I would never recommend this idiot stucco crew. I just wrote Emercon a scathing letter, and I will update this reply after issues are resolved, IF THEY ARE RESOLVED. Thank God I haven’t paid them in full! So Emercon was finished sometime in August, my house was rented August 28 and we are still finding problems… like the downspouts not being installed and having problems after the rain because of this fact!
SUMMARY OF 1 STAR RATING:
TAD the salesman 3−4*…I liked him, he executed a plan when he looked at our house, but obviously some of his promises were not kept or there was a communication breakdown.
MOLD ABATEMENT: 5* — very nice crew
DEREK THE FOREMAN: 3*…unsure if he was the breakdown in communication, did not seem to supervise the nasty stucco crew which clearly needed supervision.
STUCCO CREW — zero to negative stars! They were the ones who spent the most time at our house, so the average of this review reflects their rating the most.

This outfit was hired by my insurance company. They did not show up on time, on one occasion not at all. Bad attitude when pressed to do work that as experts they should have known needed to be done i.e. tarping a leaking roof when more rain was in the forecast. They damaged a vent pipe coming from an inside wall heater that went through the attic and out the roof. I had my own repairman replace the broken pipe as I would not let Emercon near my property again. I never got a call back as requested from their head man, Frank Brady, when I lodged a verbal complaint over the phone.

With my house finally in escrow and a sale date less than a month away… What could go wrong? A failed plumbing issue that ruined hardwood floor in a master bedroom along with the drywall. The garage ceiling had collapsed and it was a complete disaster. I was under a deadline and stressed out completely to get this done on time and done right to satisfy a picky buyer.
I conveyed this challenge to Dante and he assured me it would be done on time and done right. After asbestos abatement, mold abatement and other hurdles– his crew got cracking and finished the job 3 days before the deadline. I don’t Unilocal often but this performance was worthy of kudos. Thank you Dante and staff (who were also very professional).

Recently had Emercon come in to repair some bad water damage resulting from a broken washing machine in our second story laundry room. All told, we had 5 rooms plus the garage impacted! I cannot say enough good things about the level of professionalism, service and response Emercon provided. You know the restoration job is good when you look at the repair and cannot even tell anything was ever damaged! I’m about as picky as they come. The drywall work was perfect and the custom color match in all the affected rooms was spot on!
The claim process can be a little overwhelming. Especially when you start getting walls torn up in your home. Don’t make the matter worse by hiring a bad contractor. Emercon provided a professional, courteous, clean and efficient repair. They got it done right the first time and on time!

We had to do some work in our house following mold remediation after some water damage. As it usually is with these kinds of projects, most things hit snags and unexpected delays. My experience with Emercon team was a pleasant surprise in the whole process. First, (I am kinda picky about that) the estimating team, lead by Parker A arrived right at agreed time. We went over the job details and later, per my requests, he had to adjust his estimate few times in order to add/​remove some items. I had a couple of other estimates as well, but decided to go with Emercon. They were able to actually start work on the very next day. The man on the job was George, I believe. Parker gave me an estimated finish date and promised to try to finish a bit sooner, but no guarantees. They finished one day early! What can I say? Just about every company out there talks about great customer service and good old american value. These guys actually deliver. Their entire team, starting with Parker (I mostly dealt with him) was very professional, accurate, on time and the repairs were done well and before the estimated time. I highly recommend them!

We had a house fire the week before Christmas 2013. We asked our insurance adjuster for a list of their top 5 general contractors.
Emercon sent a team led by Sandy to pack out our entire house. They were very patient & sensitive while we made decisions on whether to try restoring items or letting them go. Everything was accounted for & this portion of the job only took 4 ½ days. (The house is 1700 sf w/​a 2 car garage, 4 adults & 16 years of stuff collected.)
We then met with Emercon’s estimator, Mike H., & the superintendent, Alan L. Both have an eye for detail & worked very well with the insurance adjuster. Mike kept the adjuster updated on item missed initially & the current industry costs associated with our particular job. Nothing was overlooked & no corners were cut.
Alan managed the entire rebuild. He has good ideas for design improvements. His input on our kitchen remodel was key in making our vision a reality. He communicated frequently & openly with us throughout the entire project, always available to talk, text or email. Alan definitely put his heart into helping us get back into our home. Even when we threw him a curve ball & had to be back home 5 weeks earlier then planned, he made it happen. The subcontractors he used provided quality workmanship & reliability. We were on site most days over the 5 ½ months, met most if not all the subs & they were always courteous & willing to answer our questions.
When it was time to move back home, again Sandy coordinated the event to fit our schedule. Again, everything went smoothly. They will even put everything in it’s place, unless you opt to do it yourself like we did. We are very happy with the restoration & cleaning of all our soft items, hard furniture & family heirlooms. They really did a beautiful job & were very honest about the items that didn’t clean up so well despite their best efforts.
I highly recommend Emercon if you find yourself in our shoes.

If I could give zero stars I would. Long story short. Water leak in our master bedroom/​master bathroom at 7:30 on a Thursday night. Contacted my insurance company and they gave me Emercon’s phone number. They reluctantly came that night to set up dehumidifiers and fans. Next day plumbers came and located the leak and fixed it. Emercon comes again to remove the equipment and determines there is mold. Emercon sends their mold remediation team and 2 hours later I walk by the back door to my master bedroom and hear snoring. I go in and find one of the 2 employees sound asleep on my bedroom floor. I waited to see how long before he woke up. 1 hour and 15 minutes. He then told me he was sick and had to go home. Joe was the manager in charge sent another crew.
When talking to Joe previously we told him that we were going to remodel the bathroom so please don’t start work putting it back together until we got a bid from them on how much the extra work would cost. A few days later we got the okay that the mold was remediated and mentioned again that we were going to do extra work. Joes response was «we are painfully aware if that. You’ve told us before.»
Needless to say we ended our business with Emercon and would never recommend them to anybody.

We had a great experience working with Emercon and Alan after a house fire/​add on. Alan helped to bring challenging design features to realization with creative thinking, and as a result we have a one-​of-​a-​kind bathroom that we love. Would highly recommend working with Emercon. Their estimate was right on as well.

Alan and Emercon were a godsend. My business suffered a flood and my landlord waited to hire a contractor until the last minute. I HAD to get back into my space (an indoor playground) to honor birthday party commitments that I had booked months before. Alan and his team went above and beyond to complete all the work so that I could get back in my space. And it looks beautiful! Even better than it did before. This is a contactor with heart. I think he saw the situation that I was in and did his best (and motivated his team to do their best) to make sure that I could get back to business!

Job well done. Very efficient, on time, clean. Would highly recommend!
They work very well within the parameters of out company and our building looks like new!

UNRELIABLE AND DISHONEST. We had an appointment today with Jason E. At 0700. I guess he showed up earlier than our scheduled time and left his card at our front door and left. I called the main office at exactly 0700 and they rerouted the call to Jason. I asked him where he was and he said he already left, was on the freeway and that he spoke to my wife and rescheduled the appointment with her for 0630. My wife never rescheduled the appointment for that time.
