Home / About Us
When disaster happens, you don’t just need a contractor, you need a partner you can trust.
At Recinos Restoration & Construction, we’re proud to be the trusted restoration experts helping East Bay homeowners and businesses recover from life’s unexpected challenges.
Founded in 2014 by Raul Recinos, our family-run business was built on integrity, craftsmanship, and genuine care for people. What began as a small local contracting team in San Leandro, California has grown into a respected name in restoration and general construction, known for quality, honesty, and heart.
We know property damage can be stressful and emotional. Whether it’s a flooded basement, a fire-damaged kitchen, or a major rebuild, we treat every project as if it were for our own family. Our mission is simple:
what’s been damaged.
with precision and pride.
our clients every step of the way.
We don’t believe in shortcuts. Every home, every project, and every customer deserves the highest level of service, clear communication, and lasting results.
When Raul founded the company in 2014, he had one goal: to bring honesty and accountability back to the construction and restoration industry. He started with a small crew of skilled craftsmen who shared his passion for quality and community.
Through dedication, word-of-mouth referrals, and hard work, Recinos Restoration & Construction quickly earned the trust of homeowners throughout San Leandro, Hayward, Castro Valley, and Oakland.
Over the years, the company has expanded its services to include:
Today, Raul still oversees every project personally, ensuring that each job meets the company’s original promise: to combine expert workmanship with personal service and accountability.
We’ve built our reputation on three core values that guide everything we do:
We believe in doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. From transparent estimates to honest timelines, we uphold trust in every interaction.
We take pride in the quality of our work. Every cut, coat, and finish reflects years of experience and dedication to excellence.
Your home matters to us. That’s why we stay hands-on throughout every stage, ensuring the job is completed on time, on budget, and to your satisfaction. These principles have helped us become a company that East Bay homeowners recommend to friends and family with confidence.
Trust begins with transparency.
