We recently used Rojas Construction for a full remodel of our kitchen and bathroom for our lower unit, and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Not only was the quality of work outstanding, but the Rojas Construction team truly impressed us with their responsiveness, professionalism, and most importantly, their kindness.
As a business owner myself, I tend to notice what a company has as its "Culture". Having a special needs child can add an extra layer of complexity to any home project. However, Rojas Construction staff went above and beyond to make sure our son felt seen and heard throughout the entire process. The crew was always patient with his questions and took the time to explain things in a way he could understand. This made a huge difference for him, and for us!
On top of that, the Rojas Construction team was incredibly responsive whenever we had questions or concerns. They were always available to talk and kept us updated on the progress of the project. Their professionalism and clear communication made the whole process stress-free.
We are absolutely thrilled with the final results of our project, and we can't recommend Rojas Construction highly enough. Tito has truly built an amazing company with a strong sense of integrity backed by great work!

Tito and the team from Rojas construction were fantastic to work with! I have worked with many other contractors in the past and Tito is by for the best. His whole team is dependable, punctual, knowledgeable, respectful and incredibly easy to work with. They took the time to clean up after every day of construction and made sure our everyday lives weren't affected while they were working. We had no issues with them throughout the year-long project and couldn't be more happy with the end results and finished product. Rojas construction will be doing all of my future projects and I have gladly referred them to all of my friends and family.

UPDATE 3/20/2024
The first job Tito did for me was in the $1,000 range. Carpentry and paint. He did a great job. Since then I hired him for a $5,000 range job and a $20,000 job:
(1) In the $5,000 range, last year Tito installed epoxy coating on the dusty concrete floor of my three car garage and 200 sq ft work space, removed a bunch of old peg boards from the garage, sealed holes and repainted the walls and ceiling of the garage (see pic of garage). Scope included epoxy coating the concrete floor in a 400+ sq. ft. playroom, but he found moisture was still coming up through cracks in the floor under the carpet. Tito recommended putting down a moisture barrier instead. He applied the barrier and I have detected no moisture coming through the floor this rainy season. He and his team showed up on time, did all the work promised and left me with a beautiful new-looking garage, a better work space and a drier playroom for the kids.
(2) In the $20,000 range – The Home Inspection Report indicated that the house was bolted to the foundation to current standards but that the cripple walls needed reinforcement. Late last year, Tito and I crawled under the house to work out a scope for earthquake retrofit. Tito showed me that the entire side of the house at the crawl space entrance was not bolted to the foundation at all. The rest of the house was bolted to an outdated standard: ½” bolts with small round washers instead of stronger 5/8” bolts with large square washers. I hired a structural engineer to design fortifications for my house so that it would survive a major earthquake – a standard much higher than Code requires. It was an enormous undertaking: Tito and his crew tore out the drywall in two downstairs bedrooms, pulled out a stud between the bedrooms, and removed the drywall from the back wall of the garage (see pics). They added a layer of structural plywood over the framing, then replaced the drywall and the stud. The walls were then ½” thicker, so Tito added inserts to the door jambs, windows and electrical fixtures so that all the fixtures looked and operated the same, but in a room ½” shorter. They also cut holes about every five feet in drywall around several walls to add the 5/8” bolts. Tito also installed three giant 50’+ steel strips in parallel underneath the top floor of the house and one steel strip perpendicular to the three. When he opened the ceilings below, he found that the joists ran perpendicular to the path of the steel strips, so he had to cut and add lumber between the joists to support them during an earthquake and to provide locations for the huge number of nails pounded into each strip. Tito and his crew of four worked here every weekday for just shy of a month implementing the design. Despite a long and exhausting project, Tito and his crew continued to perform at the highest level, showed up every day, demonstrated expertise in all facets of the job, listened and responded to all my questions and requests, and were considerate housemates for the month. The structural engineer commended Tito on the quality of the work. By the end of the job there was an enormous amount of dust in the lower level of the house, and they did a lot of work to clean it up. Tito had several opportunities to ask for change orders, such as when the engineer made changes midstream to his design and when Tito had to take out crown molding because the as-builts did not show the correct positions of some of the foundations, but he didn’t ask. He kept to his quote. In terms of quality and quantity of work for the price, it was a performance that I have never before experienced. As the project wound down, I asked Tito to help with a bunch of smaller problems in the house, many of which he had identified. He fixed problems with HVAC ducts, installed new lighting, new plumbing, even repaired some furniture. All the work was performed beautifully by Tito himself or by his crew. I have a bigger project coming up in the backyard. When I am ready to have it done, Tito will be my first call.

Looking for a contractor in the Bay Area is kind of a nightmare. We have found, over the years, that people are flaky, they subcontract, poor workmanship, you name it. But not Rojas!
We’ve worked with them a number of times over the last decade. We have a sweet 1906 Neoclassical Row House and it’s a solid home but in need of some normal care. Tito and his crew walked us through our first big (to us) remodel of our kitchen 6 years ago, it’s still in great condition! Then we called him back, in a sea of 15 other bids, to do our back yard deck. His price was competitive but I KNEW that the work would be done well, on time, and without the shenanigans that other contractors can put you through. Oscar, Sergio, Tito’s son, Julian and Tito worked through the days to get our project done on time. They clean up every single day and make each space as usable as possible for the entirety of the project. I left them with a set of keys to the house to come and go as the please, because they totally have my trust. And they are oh so patient with the many changes and opinions that happen with any home project. I can’t recommend them enough.

Tito's team did a fantastic job with our 120 square foot master bathroom & closet addition, plus a guest bathroom remodel. Despite some inspection delays and rainy weather, he was still able to meet his estimated deadline to finish the job on time.
COST/PRICING: The total cost of the project was very reasonable, and we even got 3 other quotes beforehand to compare and make sure we were getting a good deal. Tito even through in a couple extra items to make sure we felt like we were a fair deal.
PROFESSIONALISM: Tito's crew were kind, respectful, and showed up every day promptly. We knew exactly what to expect, with the team showing up at 7:30 and out by 4:30 every day, which gave us peace of mind that they were reliable. They cleaned up after themselves before they left each day which we really appreciated, as we decided to sleep in our living room for the duration of the project. Any time we had an appointment scheduled, Tito was prompt and professional.
COMMUNICATION: This is the one area where Tito (self-admittedly) has room for improvement. I noticed there are several poor reviews listed here, and most of them are around communication. Tito and I worked well together because I was very involved in the project, proactively asking lots of questions and sending emails/texts to confirm weekly progress, purchases, etc. Tito can be a great communicator if you meet him half way and make an effort to stay informed. Also, I worked from home when I could so that I could check in on the guys. Being that I'm fluent in Spanish, it did make it easier to work closely with them on the details, but they all speak a little English, so it wouldn't have been a problem either way.
CRAFTSMANSHIP: Wow his team is talented!! They did such an incredible job working efficiently and seamlessly to create our dream bathroom. The tile work was fantastic, and all of the new doors/trim/finishes were done with such detail and care. You can tell that they're all very proud of the work they do. It's never rushed and always done with precision.
ATTITUDE/FLEXIBILITY: Very positive energy from all of them. Always very reasonable and listened to our requests, even when we'd change our mind in the middle of something, or decide to add something onto the existing project. For instance, we decided to add new doors and trim more than halfway through the project, and Tito was more than happy to accommodate, and even met me at Economy Lumber to help me purchase the perfect doors.
TRUST: This is the biggest one for us. We needed a contractor and a crew we could trust with our house while we were away at work. We needed assurance that we wouldn't be taken advantage of, or duped in any way. Any with Rojas Construction we felt super comfortable, which is important during an inherently stressful renovation.
Would highly recommend Tito and his crew, and I know we'll definitely use them for our next remodel (c'mon new kitchen 2020!!!).
