Ewell Construction

I was very pleased with these folks. During the recent heavy rains I had a leaky roof. No other company in the area could come out to even inspect the roof for at least a week, except two. The first local company wanted a minimum of $ 1000 to inspect the roof and do emergency measures (like tarp the area). The other company was Ewell. They came out the very next day. The guy was so helpful. Did an inspection and outlined what needed to be fixed and put down tarp and putty to stop the leaking until a permanent fix could be done. The total bill for this was only $ 200. I definitely recommend these folks!

I wouldn’t hire Ewell Construction if you’re looking for a company willing to stand behind their work, especially in the area of waterproofing & window replacement. As a result, I am stuck with having to pay for the work to be done all over again, not to mention having to pay for the walls and hardwood floors that have been ruined as a result of the work not being done right the first time around.

Our family first met Darryl Ewell more than 15 years ago, and whenever we’ve needed a trusted contractor, Ewell Contruction has been the «go to» place for us. His crew has helped us with a number of projects over the years including waterproofing a deck for income property, a home remodeling project as well as building a commercial property from the ground up. Although his prices may be a bit higher than some contractors, what you will get from Darryl is responsiveness to problems that may come up during a job, integrity and honesty in his approach to accomplishing the work, and effective management of his crew.
Darryl is highly professional. We were always able to work through any questions or difficulties along the way. The construction crew was hard working, conscientious, skilled, and also very professional. We were happy with the results of their work, and would highly recommend Ewell Construction.

Thank you to Darrell and his super clean and professional crew for my beautiful bathroom remodel and new roof. I’m usually uneasy having work done in my house but Darrell made it a super experience with a great result. I love my new bathroom tile and fixtures and my new roof. So great to have a one stop shop I can trust!
I have to give a shout out to the friendly office staff as well!

Had two major leaks repaired over the summer, along with the accompanying damage. The workers are expert in the field, they work diligently and cleaned up every night. We have waited till a good rain ensured the leak was fixed and it has been. This is the company to use if you have a leak. Extremely professional in the paperwork and never any surprise about cost.

Ewell Construction worked on my house for the past 4 years (before I moved to Northern California) and I wish I could have taken them with me! They successfully completed various types of jobs from restoring and waterproofing my deck to retro-​fitting the foundation of my house.
Darrell, the owner, is extremely knowledgable and trustworthy and I especially appreciated how prompt and courteous his entire crew was. Having someone this reliable and dependable made being a homeowner a breeze.
I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a contractor they can trust!

About 8 years ago Ewell waterproofed our upper deck that was leaking water into the living quarters downstairs. They also installed an «L”-shaped metal against the side of our house so water would run down the hill and away from our house during rain. Our deck is about 500 sq. ft. — not that big. We were so tired of the water damages, we paid Ewell $ 45,000+ to fix these two areas.
In case you ever hire them, get their guarantee in writing, and have them spell out all the specific terms. My husband and I were uninformed consumers, and we naively thought Ewell would do an excellent job and honor their promise to guarantee their work. Whenever we had water leaks, they denied any responsibilities.

Ewell Construction did an amazing job rebuilding 6 decks on our condominium complex. All was done on time and as promised. Honestly cannot complain about any part of process. Crew was awesome. Next time we have an issue Darrell Ewell will be my first call.

I have used Ewell Construction for almost 10 years for a number of major projects involving property we own on the Strand in Manhattan Beach, which is subject to the corrosive ocean environment. We have found the company and its owner, Darryl Ewell, to be extremely responsive and to have provided high quality work in weatherproofing the building, completely rebuilding a large balcony, replacing parapet coping on the roof, installing a significant number of sliding glass doors and windows, and doing extensive mold remediation repairs both inside and outside the building.
In all of the work, large or small, Ewell Construction has stood behind their work. For example, one project involved replacing corroded galvanized coping on all of the parapet walls surrounding the roof with stainless steel coping. Ewell’s bid was competitive with other bids. After the coping was installed, a minor question arose concerning the stainless steel provided by the manufacturer. Ewell Construction immediately, and without question, offered to install much more expensive copper coping over the stainless steel coping at no additional charge. We now have two layers of substantial coping of the highest grade.
Other projects were larger and on every occasion we were satisfied with the quality of the work, the timeliness of completion, and the responsiveness of the company. When a project is scheduled it starts on time and is completed as promised.
Even when a new issue unrelated to previous work comes up, the owner promptly goes to the property and reports back no matter what the size of the issue. We have found the owner to be straightforward, honest, and extremely qualified.
I have no reservations about highly recommending Ewell Construction.

Darrell Ewell and Ana were great — prompt, attentive, and responsive to our needs to reconfigure the drainage around the foundation of our home. And their crew is also super — especially sensitive to minimizing the impact (noise, parking, efficiency) they create in our high density neighborhood.
