All Star Team Construction

I had Wen do some work in my new office. He was excellent in communication. When there was a problem, he even came in the evening/ weekend to fix it, to make sure the job was finished on time. Price is very reasonable too. Will definitely contact him again when I need a contractor again.

I have used Wen on many jobs. He has installed tile, wood flooring and countertops in several of my properties. He has a great attitude and is excellent to work with, always a joy to be around. Oh yeah, his work is good too. I am very picky and he meets my standards every time. Not only has he done several jobs for me, I have recommended him to many people and all have thanked me for the introduction. I will continue to hire Wen on future projects, he is honest, does what he says, completes the project in a timely manner and has very competitive pricing...that is not easy to find in the bay area.

I had a great experience with this Contractor. I needed two bathrooms completely remodeled, windows replaced and new flooring. Wen does quality work at an honest price and with a great attitude. He is also quite responsive and completes his work as promised. I will definitely contact Wen again for future work.

Wen has been very responsive via email and phone, which I find to be rare with contractors who usually require ""chasing"". His was the most reasonable of the multiple bids we received for re-tiling our master bathroom last June.

And the most impressive part of all... I emailed him last month (a year after he completed the job) to let him know that one of the tiles had cracked and the grout had come loose. He fixed it free of charge and didn't even charge us for time or materials to purchase additional grout because we couldn't find the original grout he'd used. He went above and beyond and stands behind his work. I'm impressed! Thanks Wen!

We have worked with Wen on two projects in our home in Willow Glen and both of them have been positive experiences. To put it in perspective, we hired Wen for roles that involved installing extensive hardwood floors and baseboard. These are items that I shipped in to myself from a company on the East Coast so the coordination was easy to manage. Wen was quite comfortable working with this type of partnership and provided his insight and expertise when it came to installing the floors in specific patterns etc. Our floors are still excellent and holding up very, very well. Price was very fair for the labor involved!

I needed to remodel my two bathrooms, kitchen, and flooring. I got some bids from other contractors but a friend told us about Wen and his crew. He showed up for a bid and his bid was a lower than the others. I was stunned by his friendliness and professionalism. I felt at ease with him. I didn't feel like I was getting ripped off.

I got granite for the kitchen, tiles and new showers in the bathrooms, and nice bamboo hardwood flooring. The work was spot on. Nothing to complain about. Everything looks great. We and his crew was professional and finished everything in short period of time. I was expecting like 3 weeks to finish but they got it done in less than 2.

Last time, I had a problem with my dishwasher. I called him and he showed up that night after working another job. Sure enough, he even fixed that.

What a great guy to work with all around. He is definitely my go-to contractor for any future projects. I highly recommend him. He deserves my business and yours!

***He is a licensed contractor now.

We had a similar experience to Jessica in Alameda but our job on the Pennisula is not small.
We called Wen because of the glowing reviews on WELP. He was nice on the phone, said we should pick a day to meet him. We notified him of the day.
He asked that we meet him one of the following two days since he would be working in the area. We then changed our schedule to meet his needs and notified him we would be available.
He never called back after we had changed our day for him.

My friends used Wen (what a coincidence, since I actually forgot to ask this set of friends) and I hope they write a review giving him 5 stars as well.

Wen's bid was significantly lower than my other contractor bid, and so I hired him not sure what I would get in terms of quality and experience. He did an EXCELLENT job on my home even though it was clearly a ""small"" project compared to a lot of what is out there: repainting the interior, re-staining some kitchen cabinets (Free of charge), adding some light fixtures, etc. He also did some other stuff that he just saw needed to be done: a crack on the bathroom ceiling I didn't notice, putting clear coat on my front door so it looks new again, re-caulking my toilets. Each time I noticed something else, he was happy to spend more time making sure things were done right. He was also available pretty much anytime, which was good b/c I was texting him sometimes even past midnight.

All of this as a rush job b/c I needed to move in with less than 2 weeks left. He and his crew worked down to the wire.

He did such a good job that my carpet cleaner even asked me who did the painting--he knew it was quality work and mentioned he might give Wen a holler too!

2 notes: Wen did come up a little bit when the job was done because it took 1.5 days longer than he anticipated and the paint was more expensive b/c I ended up choosing two Ultra Premium colors at Home Depot. However, I had already been thinking about giving that to him as a bonus since his crew worked really hard on my place.

Second, he's not a licensed contractor. I know that may scare some people, but I can assure you that he and his crew did a terrific job and I would recommend him anytime.

Highly recommended.

I called and Wen was very nice on the phone and took my info and said he would get back to me the next day to schedule a time to look at my project. He never got back to me so I called again and left a message but never got a reply. I understand that small jobs are not the most money making jobs but as a former office manager for a very successful contracting company, every contractor should know that small jobs done well almost always end in a life long customer for all size jobs. Wen and others who have not responded to my inquiries (of which there were many on yelp with glowing reviews) need to learn to return calls and follow up even if they aren't interested in the job. I will never call this guy again.

In looking for a tile setter I saw Wen Lin's name on the Berkeley Parents Network. After getting a bid from him - which was literally 1/3 the cost of some of the others I received and which he was willing to do without actually seeing the job (I sent photos) - I called several of his references, which were good. So with some trepidation I hired him to tile my bathroom floors and a somewhat complicated bathtub surround. I'm taking the time to write this review because Wen was AWESOME! It turned out that my contractor had left a number of problems that many other tile setters would have used as an excuse to raise their bid price. Not Wen - he reacted to every obstacle - and there were several - with equanimity, good humor and suggestions about how to deal. He also had a very good artistic sense and made some changes that improved upon my design. His mantra was: ""The most important thing for me is for you to be happy with the job I do."" And I was -- in fact, I was so happy that I voluntarily paid him more than his bid because he had to drive so far and do so much extra work.

Wen also lays floors, installs counters and does kitchens and baths, but not having used him in those areas I can't speak to his work there. He's still young and doesn't have 25 years of experience behind him but if you're looking for someone with the old-fashioned values of honesty, hard work and giving the customer what s/he wants in the most economical way possible, Wen's your guy.
