West Coast Premier Construction - Oakland, California

Ron Dunn

West Coast Premiere Construction has completed a Seismic Retro Fit Upgrade on my 15 unit apartment in Oakland, and on a 8 unit and 24 unit apartment in Alameda. I was very pleased with the job they did. The work was completed on time, within budget, neatly and without any issues. The workers were very courteous and communication with Homy was easy. I would hire them again and recommend them to others.

West Coast Premier Construction has completed a Seismic RetroFit Upgrade on my 15 unit apartment building and 2 commercial units in Berkeley. The work was completed on time, within budget, clean and without any issues whatsoever. The workmanship was outstanding. I strongly recommend West Coast Premier Construction and would hire them again. I want to thank Homi for his expertise and service.

I highly recommend Homy Sikaroudi and his team at West Coast Premier Construction based out of Oakland. I've worked with him on two major earthquake retrofit projects for soft-story apartments--one in Alameda and the other in Millbrae--and he could not be a more excellent engineer and contractor. I came into the project with little understanding of how to handle a major renovation project, and I had two key requests: to provide an accurate estimate of the projected costs, as I feared being given a low-ball estimate and then being surprised by unexpected cost overruns, and also to treat these projects as though it were his own properties, and ensure that safety is of the utmost highest priority. He scored well on both counts. Homy and Fred Darouian are able to explain in clear terms an assessment of the property, what works well and what is vulnerable in a major earthquake. They're also able to clearly explain the proposed retrofit solution--why it's designing this way, and how it'll make the building far more safe when the inevitable large earthquake hits in the future. For both retrofits, West Coast Premier Construction installed strong steel frames in the carport and garage areas, strengthening the building at sections where they were held by skinny or flimsy columns or supports that could snap in an earthquake. They also installed stronger "shear" walls when needed to add strength. Homy and his team handled communications with the cities and the securing of permits. For one of the properties, the company also handled the contracted work on removing an old balcony system and replacing it. Sometimes, unexpected issues do come up that cost additional money, and Homy clearly communicated with me when that happened. And there were also times when costs came in less than expected, and Homy shared the good news with me too. West Coast Premier Construction is an honest, experienced seismic retrofitting company, and I would be more than happy to work with them again.

I had a very positive experience working with this company to perform a seismic retrofit at a property I manage. Homy was very organized and professional at the initial meeting with my clients. He presented pictures and thoroughly explained the process. Everything went smoothly from the engineering plans, to getting the permits and city approvals, construction execution, costs, etc. and project sign off. Our company has used him for many projects and everyone has had a positive experience with him and his company.

We just finished our 18 unit apartment building retrofit in the Haight. West Coast did a great job, on time and on budget. Browse their web site for the many outstanding examples of beautiful structural work. We are extremely happy customers!

WCPC does good work in a timely manner and they handle all of the aspects of the seismic renovation. They stayed on budget and any alterations to plans were clearly described and pricing negotiated to our clients satisfaction. I highly recommend Homy, Fred, & co.

West Coast Premier Construction recently completed seismic work on a 9 unit apartment building we manage in San Francisco. We are very satisfied with the work performed and highly recommend this company to other building owners and managers.

I would like to give West Coast Premier Construction (WCPC) 5+ Stars, if I could go higher I would. Dealing with Homy, Fred and Jason at WCPC was a pleasure. They are professional,
prompt in answering any concerns and questions I had.

Prior to hiring WCPC I had another engineering company, who not only over designed some of the earthquake retrofitting for my building but omitted other items that needed to be addressed. There were constant revisions on missed items that I found on their plans. It was hard to get a hold of them with my concerns.

This was not the case with WCPC they were always available to answer concerns. I would ask them a questions and find that they has already addressed it. They cleaned up the job site after they were finished. There was minimal disruption for our tenants. No one complained.

When I met and talked to Homy with WCPC and he gave me a price to redo the engineering and the soft story work it was the best decision I made. This included engineering, city permit approvals, construction and sign off. I would highly recommend their (WCPC) services.
