Dryden Construction Co

I’ve used Dryden for several home repairs over the past few years, and they have always been excellent. Several times I’ve called them due to an emergency situation — once a roof leak during a period of rain and another a pipe leak dripping through my ceiling. They always manage to fit in the repair quickly. Their employees are all pleasant and neat. They always follow up to make sure I’m satisfied and that the job has been completed as agreed. I’ve been very happy with every job they’ve done and will use them again.

I’ve used Dryden Construction for a bathroom remodel, painting, and damage from a roof leak repair. I’ve been using them for the past two years and every time I am pleased with their professional work. They always arrive on time and clean up after themselves. The work is completed in a timely manner, and they make sure that I am 100% satisfied with their job before leaving. I will continue to use them in the future.

Dryden repaired the damage from a five-​alarm fire that occurred in my townhome development. They repaired all the homes that were affected (including mine) from start to finish, including demolition, window replacement, drywall, paint, carpet, etc. They were professional, clear and responsive. Mark, Frank and John did a great job and were personally on-​site and managed the project effectively. They got us back in our home faster than I expected without sacrificing quality.

I needed to have a few small repairs completed at my house most annoying of which was my carpet needed to be stretched. Mitch was very prompt to call me and leave a message, he even ended up calling me a few days later when I had not returned his call. I can’t remember the last time a contractor took the extra time to call me a second time when I didn’t call them back. Mitch confirmed a time for him to complete the repairs, on the day he was expected, he was actually a couple of minutes early. Mitch and his assistant were very careful to cover there shoes and not damage the walls or staircase with their equipment. When the team was finished they cleaned all of the scraps and even vacuumed the carpet before putting the furniture back in the room. They were very nice and worked cleanly and quickly. I would recommend Dryden for future projects and tasks around my house.

Have had them to our home a few times over the years, and they consistently are courteous and professional in conducting the repairs. Really like their «HealthCare for your Home» service. Gives me a lot of peace of mind that they proactively check the things that most people overlook. Highly recommend them to my friends all the time.

Dryden did a fantastic job on a huge project. They built Bikram Yoga Pleasanton from the ground up. Working with the architect to create our beautiful vision in our 5000 square foot space. The Dryden team hired, coordinated & communicated with all the trades necessary for our project. Dave Nelson, the owner of the company was beyond generous with us, working to make sure we were happy and really made us feel like family. John Firmalo and Frank Nola were instrumental in seeing this project through from the beginning to the end and when problems came up they worked tirelessly to try to solve them in a positive way. Their constant focus on organization made the process move with ease and efficiency even when tough obstacles arose. If and when we decide to build another yoga studio they will be the first call we make. Thank-​You so much! We give a 5 star recommendation for this company.

I would give it a minus one star if I could! This company ‘s operation management is disorganized and out of control. Their employees have no idea how to clean up after themselves and have major attitudes if you let them know that THEY messed up!
Let me start from the beginning — we are the owners in a townhouse complex that was part of a lawsuit with the builder — after a couple of years, our HOA won that lawsuit, and now they have hired Dryden to fix what the builder messed up on.
There are over 80 units in our complex, so you can imagine it is a very big job… anyone in this economy should be happy to get a job of this caliber. Instead of notifying the residents that they will start working on their unit or on what day they will be doing what work. they just ring the doorbell or just start working without you even knowing! What if hadn’t been home?
Additionally, in the beginning they did tell us when construction would start on our building, then it turned out they ordered the wrong windows and the wrong patio door, so we had to wait three weeks longer! Which was fine, we were very patient, even moved everything out of the way. We had to leave home for the weekend to celebrate my birthday, and I actually trusted the project manager to let them work on our house while we were away… what we came back to was a NIGHTMARE! Our speakers were disconnected, our couch and our walls were covered in paint, paint on the floors and on our furniture. I have pictures which I will upload. On Monday, they told me that was «normal» and that they had to do that. If the project manager or anyone would have told us, we would have gladly covered our couch and disconnected the speakers and everything else ourselves before they came in. They disrespected our home and they lost our trust.
They finally said they will be working on our patio and disconnecting our air conditioner — however I asked them to wait a week since I have family visiting this week — their response — called the HOA to say that I wasn’t being cooperative. Really?!! After all our patience and how much we had to endure with them!?! They keep telling us that they gave us a portable air conditioner — o.k. thanks, but still have some respect and try to work with us!
Stay away from this company! Do not hire them as they have major attitude and will not do the job right! I have so much more to write, but I will have a follow up post once everything is finished… which at this company’s rate might be next year, if we’re lucky!
