Greg Mullin turned our boring, rotting T1-11-clad house into the neighborhood showpiece in 60 days…read more To say Greg has an eye for detail is an understatement. He is a master carpenter and it shows in everything he does, just like one of the prior reviewers mentioned. And once he was done with the exterior, he designed and built a beautiful built-in bench in our front room with bookcase. (Photos to be posted shortly) He also painstaking ensured that the exterior would be properly waterproofed and was an excellent communicator for the duration of the project. Kudos to Greg for also working with us as we kept changing our mind and adding detail to the front. The results speak for themselves. Other reasons why Greg is amazing and you should hire him without a second thought (or even a second estimate): - Provided an accurate estimate for the work and stayed on budget. Extra work we wanted was done with our advance approval on a time and materials basis. - He does not impose any upcharge on materials he supplies. The materials were all direct billed to me at cost. - His guys (especially Justin) were fabulous. Not only great at carpentry, but just nice people who you don't mind lurking around scaffolding at your house. - He's not happy unless you are. Absolutely critical in someone you trust your home to. - He'll stand by his work and repair anything that fails due to workmanship. I don't know that I could recommend him more highly. You can't go wrong hiring him.

Greg Mullin and Scott Cassell recently completed framing for a 3 Story addition to my house. The…read morework included foundation anchorage, three stories of framing, window installation, and siding. I was thrilled with the quality of their work. They are master carpenters, and also strong communicators. As an architect I prepared the plans and HC Structural Engineers prepared the structural design which included a few specific connection details for large openings and two terrace decks. Greg and Scott are very competent with plans and were quick to resolve any constructability issues that arose. They prepared carefully for the necessary Department of Building Inspections, which passed, and also thought ahead to the eventual drywall and stucco work. Greg, Scott, and I had clear budget discussions before the project began and I am very pleased that they completed the scope of work exactly within the billable hours they had estimated. Working within a quoted budget and maintaining high quality craftsmanship are desirable qualities in carpenters and contractors. I would certainly hire Greg and Scott again as a homeowner, and I now frequently recommend them to clients.

Fahan Construction, quite simply, did an incredible job. That's the long and short of it. They…read moreimpressed, whether it was with the handling of inspections and inspectors, the transparency with financials, or the simply trade itself, John Shaw and his team were always on top of our renovation. Professional, respectful, and highly communicative, he was always there whenever we needed him, by text, phone, or in person, if we needed reassurance, advice or progress reports he always seemed to be right on the ball. It's hard to communicate just how important this is to keep the blood pressure down while undertaking something as life altering as a major home renovation, but we always felt Fahan had it under control. Our project was completed on schedule, 7 months to do a new kitchen, master bath, staircase installation, family room and deck, plus electrical and lots of small detail work around the house. Seven months is really something considering how easily big renovations like ours can go off the rails. Horror stories abound, and we, quite literally, had none. What a huge relief. In terms of costs, Fahan was transparent and upfront with us. They estimated and invoiced all expected and unexpected costs up front, and clearly stated any potential overruns. There were some, but none that we felt were from left field, and for each one we were given options to keep in line with what we were comfortable with. We understood and signed off on everything before anything moved forward, with a comforting degree of transparency. The only downside we could see was that the pricing tended to be high. It's not entirely clear however if this was due to the current economic conditions of '22-'23 or if it's just what quality work and workmanship costs. But as they say, you get what you pay for. Overall, we felt well-taken care of throughout the process, like there was an insider who knew the business, the pitfalls and the tricks. "I trust them", were words we uttered more than once. Most of the time we weren't even at the house, only catching up on the progress on weekends, but we always knew that the work would get done and with little to no issues along the way. THe house turned out amazing. We really couldn't be happier with the work they did. Fahan's just a quality outfit, contractors and subs, that you should trust with your house too. Just top-shelf all the way. Two thumbs up.

We hired Fahan for a number of projects at our home in the Outer Sunset of San Francisco: building a new deck, extending power and plumbing to the back yard, replacing our leaky roof, providing access to the new deck from our bedroom and a number of other misc projects inside our home. All of these projects were completed on time and with superb quality. John was incredibly friendly, professional and responsive throughout the whole process. He was extremely thorough: from working with the architect to co-ordinating with all the inspectors, to introducing us to all the members on his team and what we could expect from them on a regular basis. He managed the whole project effectively by providing us with timely quotes, invoices and being diligent about addressing any follow up questions we had. If there were any unforeseen issues with the weather or supply chain issues, John kept us informed and worked around each of these issues while keeping the project on time. Every single day, his team would show up on time and work diligently while keeping us posted if they needed anything. When we wanted something updated or changed, they obliged us immediately. What was particularly impressive is that they pulled off a number of different projects working across 3-4 different groups of people! I will definitely miss them around our home. And will reach out to them we need anything built or fixed moving forward.

He understands the requirements posed by HOAs, uses expert subs, and seems to have a solid relationship with the SFDBI. Although my remodel took longer than expected (50-yr old condo, w/ unforeseen issues), and was over my initial budget, I was always confident that James' was fair, and that his work was of the highest quality. I plan to use him for a small project in 2024 and a bathroom remodel in 2025.

After speaking with James briefly on the phone, he was out to my site that same day. He communicated well and definitely displayed professionalism and integrity. I consulted with James for many weeks following a SF Muni bus accident that caused major damages to my retail shop. James was responsive, knowledgeable, detailed and informative. He gave me valuable advice even though I ended up hiring my insurance's preferred contractor. Because my claim was so complicated and involved the City and County of SF, I felt like it would be more seamless going with my insurance's in-network vendor. I will definitely keep James in my contact list for future repairs and remodeling.

Outerlands converted our lower-level unfinished garage into 500 sq ft of living space + finished garage + outdoor patio in a job that involved significant excavation work. I can confidently say Outerlands was a cut above the competition because the other bids (we talked to over 20 contractors) had significantly longer timelines, told us certain aspects of the project would not be possible (or within budget), and told us there was no way we could stay in the house during construction. Outerlands kept us in the house with minimal disturbance, finished on time / on budget, and made the whole process rather enjoyable. It was clear throughout that Outerlands has a very experienced and cohesive team. From design, to engineering, to permitting, to foundation work, to all the other subs, everything was seamless. In the 5 months of work, there were virtually zero non-productive days. Kelly ran the project with a real sense of ownership, keeping things moving, suggesting improvements, and problem solving through the unexpected (we found a massive muni pipe while digging). He's a true craftsman (take a look at his cabinets or stairs) with an eye for overall aesthetic. Sara turned our vague interior style preferences into a coherent plan, developing all kinds of options we hadn't considered, sourcing the finishings, and ultimately creating a space that we love. Taking on this kind of project to our residence was a major financial and lifestyle decision, but we couldn't be happier with the look and feel of the finished product, and we are so grateful to Outerlands being such a wonderful partner to work with.
