Garritt was the perfect general contractor and helped us seamlessly coordinate and oversee the project which went from a full home renovation to an even larger scope of our home needing to be reframed. Their estimate for the scope of our project was fair and accurate and he kept us immediately updated and discussed options with us when the inevitable unexpected issues came up with an old home. He and his team were professional, punctual, responsible and clean! He is very responsive by email/text as well. Our family loves the home Boom City Builders built for us. We get frequent compliments on the quality of work and we could not agree more. We have another project in the works and I only hope that the timing works out so we can work with Boom City Builders again. That should be testament enough to their good work. They are also a local Bay Area family and really good people as well. We were lucky to have found them and you will be too! Boom City Builders 415-871-1191

Despite all logistical challenges, over the years Stanley & his crew renovated our bathroom, replaced our ancient wooden retaining walls with permitted concrete walls; rebuilt deck stairs; installed an under-deck ceiling system, stayed into the night to replace a patio door surrounded by dry rot that turned out to have been installed UPSIDE down by the original installers before we bought the house in 1989! He has come late at night when the power went off and our sump pump stopped working and caused flooding during a storm -- he brought a generator and cut out ruined carpeting. In fact, he installed all new flooring in our completely furnished house, working while we were away. We trust him that much. He also replaced the front stairs to our house... they were riddled with dry rot. He built planters to hide our garbage cans, since we have absolutely no space to store them out of sight. He has even repaired our gas fireplaces and also repaired our central furnace -- which the company that installed it had said should be replaced. They know how to install but not repair, he said after the reading the manual. He's the smartest person I know. If he has time to work with you, don't pass him up!

My husband is completely type A and anal attentive - Joe was able to respond right away every time proactively. He managed to keep the areas near our neighbors clean and kept good rapport with them as well through our 3 month renovation. There were extra touches (like having the shower glass door that can fold out fully to the wall) that we didn't ask for, but I am SO grateful for. Or the fact that they knew we were expecting twins and mentioned a hot, filtered water faucet at the sink to easily warm up bottles?! (Which I've already fallen in love with for my oatmeals and teas) All the subcontractors he used were professional and I felt comfortable with them whenever I dropped by. If the subcontractors did something wrong, Joe would fix it in a nanosecond. Our house is absolutely stunning, spacious, homey and I couldn't be happier. Thanks Joe and team! * Bonus, my husband and I agreed that the young Irish foreman was quite the looker.

After a few years of having Joe and his crews come out to our house with great results, the last…read moreproject--a full kitchen remodel--showed us he's decided to cut a lot of corners and has basically given up on supervision of his crews. In the past, we've had a great crew for other projects and we saw Joe around almost every day while the work was going on. We felt like he kept the quality of the work at a high level. With our kitchen remodel, Joe seemed nowhere to be found. We had to constantly monitor the crew, correcting blatant sloppiness of the work. As an example, we had to have a painter out 5 times to paint one wall before we finally got it correct. The electrical (done by Kevin, Joe's brother) was passed off to one of his workers. While we did a walk-through on what we needed before the wiring started, none of the information we gave Kevin was passed on to the guy actually doing the work. We had to repeat ourselves constantly to the the man doing the work. Once he had the right info, he did the work adequately, but there was still a lot of re-doing of work throughout the project that should have been common sense: Re-centering a dining room light; placing can lights in kitchen so they're not blocked by cabinets (!!); having to tell them to wire a light already installed in the backyard to the switches in the kitchen (had to tell them 7 times before it happened). The highlight of the whole electrical experience was texting Kevin about an item, then receiving a text (that he obviously thought he was sending to his worker) stating what a "f***ing pain" I was being for asking when he would do something--since he'd stated it would happen two days prior. Other basics had to be repeatedly followed-up on like sealing the front door they installed; getting the door stained and sealed correctly (still never got them to stain around the door knob correctly as they stained around the old lock hardware instead of the new stuff we bought. Was never sure why they didn't stain and seal the door BEFORE the hardware was installed to begin with.); trim around cabinets being installed straight; finishing panels on cabinets being cut straight and without jagged edges; installing cabinet door and drawer handles straight (!!); installing baseboards with some sealant and making them straight with the flooring. During the painting of the entire house interior, they STAPLED floor paper to the hardwood floors. It was 3 months before we think we got the final staple out of the floors. While the floors aren't new, they're not in horrible shape and we weren't replacing them. Staple holes are not an attractive addition to the decor. The painters also re-painted our deck (the one Joe built for us in 2010). Unfortunately, they only scraped the deck, but never power-washed it. The amount of debris and dust from the kitchen remodel on the deck was a lot. After they painted the deck, I had to clean out screws, nails, drywall bits and other debris from between the boards--all of it with sloppy deck paint on it. When I complained, their response was to put another coat on the deck. Less than 6 months later, a good deal of the paint is pealing up since there wasn't a clean base to adhere to. In addition to the painting, we requested Joe replace some boards that were rotting on the deck, as well as closing the back of the stairs for a soon-to-arrive puppy. (We realize this rotting happens living out by the ocean in the Outer Sunset--this is not a reflection of his 2010 build this long afterwards.) He said the boards were fine. Within 3 months after the project, we had to have someone come out to replace the very same boards as they were disintegrating, along with several stair boards. That was an addition $1,300 we had to pay for that. Several of the boards that he installed to close up the stairs are cracked and loose only 6 months later. Again, quality of work was never checked on by him. I think if it had, this type of thing wouldn't happen. I put the review to two stars because the past projects with Joe were great. This one, however, makes us unable to call him again for any project. It's unfortunate. We felt like we were in good hands going into the kitchen remodel. Afterwards, we just hope everything stays together.

The project did take longer than expected, but that was due to unforeseen complications -- some of which were extensive tree roots on the neighbor's property, which created delays beyond the company's control and had nothing to do with their portion of the project. Importantly, the company honored their original bid and did not charge extra for the additional time and effort. Their team remained respectful and hard-working throughout the process. It's also worth noting that the reviewer was not the party paying for the project.
