Cooper Construction

Cooper Construction recently installed 4 new windows in my house in Berkeley. They were quick and professional. The windows match the bungalow style and I can finally open the bathroom window with ease. They cleaned up after themselves, and I even think they might have cleaned the new windows. More recently, Jim Cooper has helped with a door problem. The poor soils under my house expand and contract and one door was stuck shut. He sanded the sill, adjusted the jam and I can now go in and out of my house without struggling with the door. I highly recommend them for big and little jobs alike.

We just had Jim Cooper help us remodel our kitchen and dining room. We took out a wall to create an open plan/​kitchen living space and added windows. He is able to create a modern functional kitchen with a bespoke charm fitting our 1940’s Oakland Hills home. He was so professional, timely and clean. His attention to detail helps in retaining vintage finishes. His cleanliness helps makes the process relatively easy when you are trying to cook for a family of 4 while living in the house. He is timely — finishing the project within the framework of initial expectations. Also, no financial surprises. We waited 15 years to remodel our kitchen and we absolutely love it!

Fantastic. Professional, thorough, reliable. They replaced all of my old windows, most of which hadn’t opened in decades. From the selection of the windows through install and completion the process was smooth and easy. I cannot believe how fabulous both the new windows AND the reinstalled trim look. Fabulous. Highly, highly recommend.

I echo the previous two 5 star reviews posted. Jim Cooper is the best contractor I’ve ever hired and his main man Neal is an exceptionally skilled craftsman. They have replaced nearly all the windows in out 110+ year old home, remodeled our basement into a beautiful rental unit, and restored the back end of our house to its original details involving tearing off almost the entire back side of the house — a mega job involving electricians, plumbers, solar panel installers, roofers and a parade of specialty sub-​contractors. We have several more projects coming up and will definitely us them again and again. Highly recommend. A rare find.

I used Cooper Construction both for my kitchen remodel and more recently for my bathroom remodel. They are some of the best contractors I have ever worked with. Very professional, courteous, and highly skilled at what they do. They are on the job at the appointed time, work on schedule and leave the work space clean and neat at the end of the day. They had very helpful suggestions during the re-​model process and were very creative in tackling some unexpected problems. I highly recommend them.

Wow! I have been dealing with various vendors in the construction field for many years, and it doesn’t get better than Cooper Construction. I had a mega job of replacing 60 — 6 feet tall windows in my older two story office building. I had contacted several vendors but, when I met Jim Cooper and evaluated the information he gave me, I realized he was the one for my job.
I was not disappointed. While presenting me with a wonderfully cost-​effective approach, he and his crew epitomized professionalism in every way… amazingly courteous and skilled; always cleaned up thoroughly after a day’s work; worked with us to make sure the tenants concerns/​schedules were addressed. Everyone was impressed by the entire process and how efficiently, and well, the job was done. Kudos to Cooper Construction! I can’t recommend them more highly.
OK, now adding extra info to my review. I engaged Cooper Construction to redo all the windows in my home, 37 in total, some moving and some fixed. This was not an easy job as they had to deal with a 100 year old downstairs and remodeled upstairs. Some windows were fixed, both upstairs and down. As I expected, amazingly competent and totally respectful of the issues as I lived in my house during installation while being economically reasonable for what is begin done. The end result is amazing, So thankful for Jim Cooper’s input… he’s one in a million! His main person crew, Neal, is amazing! Cant conceive of better!
