Founded in 1985, Hearney Construction has spent four decades shaping homes throughout Oakland and the East Bay. As a fully licensed general contractor (Lic. #468504), we bring old-school craftsmanship to every project — from sensitive remodels of historic Craftsman bungalows to modern additions and new builds.
A look at remodels and projects we've completed across Oakland, Piedmont, and San Francisco.
"6 years later, I still use John for most of my construction projects. He does very good work, is very nice to work with, and the guys he works with are super talented. John is not expensive and always very honest about costs. Super experienced, broad expertise, always willing to help and go the extra mile."
"I have used Hearney Construction for 3 or 4 projects now, and a couple more coming down the line. All of them have been outstanding! They have replaced a roof, walls and siding, a wall heater, a bathroom fan, and built a whole new fence. Reasonably priced and hard working. These are now my go-to contractors."
"I was contacted by Hearney to complete a kitchen remodel for my company's second office. John and Juan worked tirelessly to meet the ever-changing requirements we kept throwing at them. I can honestly say I've never had such friendly and committed contractors. Based on the customer service alone, I highly recommend them!"
"Hearney Construction is a full-service general contractor with 30+ years of experience — they can do everything from complex electrical to plumbing, to building structures from the foundation up. John worked extensively with our architect and structural engineer, handled all permits, and everything passed inspection on the first round."

"For over 40 years, I've put my name on every project we build. From Craftsman remodels in Rockridge to ground-up homes across the East Bay, our promise is the same — honest work, fair pricing, and craftsmanship that lasts."
