Campos Verde HOA 
Board President

Today is Thanksgiving and I’m very grateful for CAM.  They recently just finished a major SB326 project at Campos Verde Condos in Modesto.  This project involved three two story complexes and 22 homes.  The crews were impressive from start to finish from the onsite manager Norberto to the owners Bently and Dane Shewman and the individual workers.  They made sure the site was safe and secure.  They diligently cleaned up every night.  They communicated details efficiently and were quick to make necessary changes.  I changed my mind on the color of the landing and it was easily fixed.  We had relatively few change orders and CAM made creative suggestions.  This project took about 9 weeks to complete.  We had several different crews with specialized talents from demolition, stucco, building, and paint.  They ALL went above and beyond the basic requirements.  They even finished with adding on painting a whole 8 plex building under budget.

To Whom It May Concern

Re: CAM Construction & Painting

When Park Place at Regency Park filed a lawsuit for construction defects, the assumption was that it would take only 18 months to settle. The Board of Directors had interviewed and hired the general contractor in anticipation of a start date shortly thereafter. Almost four years later, Park Place finally had a settlement. The construction manager (RFI Construction) updated the specifications and the bid process for contractors started all over. CAM Construction & Painting was one of those companies.

As you may know, when it comes to any large construction project, it is imperative that the Board interview companies that present a clear and concise scope of work and assurance that the job will be done in a professional manner. I have been involved in other construction defect projects and never have I experienced a company as efficient, professional and incredibly diligent as CAM was.

As soon as the bidding process was over and a scope of work completed with a timeframe, a Town Hall meeting with residents was held. Not only was Cesar Mendes, President of CAM, present at the meeting, but his supervisor and project manager were also present. The project cost was just under $1 million that included displacing residents for days at a time and accessing interior units. A detailed schedule was prepared of when each building would be repaired, copies of which were posted on the clubhouse door; mailbox clusters, garage doors and mailed. Notices were posted on doors days in advance, and an on-site supervisor contacted every resident during the construction process. An office was set up in the clubhouse where the supervisor was accessible every day.

In over 23 years of managing homeowner associations, this was the first major project I have been involved with that went so smoothly and where I wasn’t spending every moment making sure the job was being done well and on schedule. Out of 142 condos with well over 250 residents, I received exactly 3 calls from unreasonable people that CAM just could not satisfy. CAM not only took care of unreasonable residents, they always made every effort possible to accommodate schedules. All of CAMs employees were polite; careful with personal possessions and were able to make the residents feel safe and secure.

Finally, not only did CAM complete this major project efficiently, they finished before the projected completion date and under budget! How many large projects can boast about that? Anyone that has the privilege of working with CAM can be guaranteed of a qualified and caring company, with equally qualified and efficient personnel.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The performance of CAM Construction and Painting on the major exterior renovation here at Harbor Oaks Apartments, approximately $3.5 million for full reside, new trim, new windows and sliders has been excellent since the project began.

Your company came fully planned and prepared to start the project and this was and still is reflected in your daily workmanship.

I would without hesitation recommend CAM Construction and Painting to other potential clients.

Melany Miners, Secretary
Home Owners Association at Park Place

Our Home Owners Association at Park Place hired CAM to rectify the construction defects of our units and repaint our entire development. To the board, after comparing the bids, CAM clearly stood out to us as the company we wanted to hire unanimously. Their experience, demeanor and competitive pricing made our decision easy. Working with them has been a very good experience. First, in my own unit, they did such a good job that I wish they could have painted my entire unit. They were quick, neat, on time and in our meetings to go over their work, they very respectful and knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable having them do the work in my home while I was away.

Also, being on the board, I was aware of some challenges with owners who were resisting having work done in their units, and CAM’s courteous, direct and wise approach circumvented some difficult situations. This earned my respect and trust, which for me, takes a lot to achieve. To sum up, they’ve been clear communicators, maintaining expected timelines, and done excellent work. I highly recommend them to anyone considering using their services.

To Whom It May Concern:

The Swallows Nest Homeowners Association has had a good working relationship with CAM Construction and Painting since 2012. They have performed several construction projects in our community both large and small, simple and complex.

We have been impressed with the quality of their work, their timeliness, and good communication procedures during the projects. When a project required a change while underway, CAM always contacted our review team and explained the reason for the change and documented the associated costs. With this system in place, change orders were easy to track and reconcile with their invoices. As Treasurer I especially appreciated this as it made my job easy when it came time to approve the invoices.

In summary, I recommend CAM Construction and Painting for any construction, rehabilitation, or painting project you might need. I feel they provide a quality product delivered in a timely and professional manner.

Please feel free to contact me at (916) 548-2945 or via email at [email protected] if you should have any questions regarding CAM Construction and Painting and the nature and scope of their work performed at Swallows Nest.

Dear Cesar:

We wanted to take this time to thank you and your staff for the fine work you did on the 54 homes in our Phase 5 Wood Surface Repair Project. CAM went way beyond the norm in working with our Facilities Committee Members and in keeping our residents happy. We commend their willingness to go the extra mile in dealing with the individual demands of our residents.

We are very happy with the quality of the work your company performed on our project. You are the first company to ever propose alternative methods of repair that resulted in cost reductions for our HOA. For that we thank you!

We look forward to receiving your proposal for inspections and repair of our 32 Phase 2 homes early next year.

Once again thank you for the excellent work your staff performed for our association this year.

Pleasant Heights

The Board of Directors of Pleasant Heights Homeowners Association voted unanimously to accept a bid from CAM Construction and Painting to replace the rooftop deck of the one of the three buildings in the Association’s condominium complex in Pleasant Hill. The thoroughness of the bid CAM made as well as the excellent presentation CAM gave the Board explaining in detail the bid, describing CAM’s experience with similarly complex and complicated projects, and answering fully and respectfully the questions and concerns raised by the Board members prompted this unanimous vote.

As the sole resident unit owner on the Board of Directors at the time, I became the de facto project coordinator for the Board.  This volunteer task would have been impossible without the excellent planning, communication and customer service skills of CAM.

CAM kept the Board and residents well informed at each stage of the construction project about progress on the project, about next steps, about upcoming building access limits and about problems or necessary schedule changes.

At one stage in the project, planned work adversely would affect access to the two units located on the rooftop deck. CAM worked closely, tactfully and directly with the residents of those units to minimize the impact of scheduled work on them.  Furthermore, throughout the entire project period, CAM dealt calmly and reasonably with even the least cooperative residents or owners, both those affected by the project and those not affected.

CAM Construction and Painting distinguishes itself in the respect and courtesy the company extends to employees as well as to customers. CAM’s crew reflected that same respect for and courtesy toward every resident of the complex every day. They showed up on time, worked hard and well, were pleasant to each other and to residents and kept the project site clean and organized.

In offering this appraisal of the outstanding performance of CAM Construction and Painting in completing the reconstruction of the rooftop deck of Building A at Pleasant Heights in the summer of 2018, I do so as an individual closely involved with the project and most appreciative of the skill and efficiency exhibited in the completion of this most difficult project.

I am writing regarding the work your company has been doing this last week tearing out and replacing our fence and gate. We would like you to know how happy we have been with the workmanship and detail your crew has done on our project. 

We especially appreciate how your crew has paid attention to detail. They did an exceptional job removing all the old concrete that held the fence posts up from our previous fence. Are old fence was installed very poorly and was sloppy in their workmanship and they even made a mess with the concrete that they poured for the fence posts. But, your crew didn’t exceptional job tearing out all the old fence and removing all the old concrete and installing a new fence and gate. We are very happy with their work.

On top of that, before leaving our project every day they did a great job cleaning up their work area. We didn’t have to go behind them and do any cleanup. We really appreciate their hard work on our project and we are very grateful that they did  an excellent job. Our fence and gate look beautiful. We will recommend your company to all our friends and coworkers.

I want to thank your crew and would recommend them for any future project. Thank you so much for your beautiful and detailed work on our fence and gate. You were all a pleasure to work with. Thank you for being kind and considerate to both of us. We really appreciate your work.
