So, just know that any job can (and probably will) cost lots more. This isn't their fault, just how these jobs go. They did a good job uncovering all of the damage and carefully repaired everything. I am very pleased with the work that they did for me. They were very knowledgeable about what they were doing. I have had some remodeling experience, so when they explained things, my construction knowledge told me they were knowing what they were taking about. What I didn't know, they were more than happy to take time and explain it to me. I especially liked how they cleaned up the job site every day. I would recom them highly. Good job guys!

Mel Victor is the real deal. We contacted him to help us bring previous owner's unpermitted work up…read moreto code. Mel's years of experience, knowledge and communication skills were apparent from the get go. He walked us through the project from initial inspection, permitting, construction to final inspection, answering every call and question. He even graciously stepped in when we had a hiccup with the HOA. I was impressed with Edwin and crew's care and diligence on site, They made sure to carefully protect surrounding areas, while basically taking the kitchen apart. We were so pleased with the final outcome. Not only did Mel and Edwin bring everything up to code, they greatly improved the overall aesthetics. AND, they left the place so clean, you'd never know they were there. I highly recommend Victor Construction & Engineering!

I hired SF Bay Engineering for seismic retrofit plans under the Earthquake Brace and Bolt program…read more I was told architectural drawings were required before they could proceed, so I hired and paid an architect to prepare them. After multiple back and forth and with SF Bay Engineering admitting they aren't familiar with the requirements, they terminated the contract. They refunded their engineering fee, but the architectural cost remained my responsibility. I brought the matter to small claims court, and the court ruled that because I retained the plans, reimbursement was not warranted. I recommend future clients clarify in writing how architectural costs will be handled if SF Bay Engineering terminates the contract. Happy to provide additional details upon request

Rod is incredibly…read moreknowledgeable and brought up several important structural and design considerations that we hadn't even thought about. He clearly has deep experience, especially with projects in San Francisco - he pointed out a number of intricacies and local requirements that only someone familiar with SF codes and processes would know. It really gave us peace of mind knowing we were in good hands. Tiffany and Vivian were also wonderful to work with - very responsive, detail-oriented, and efficient. They kept everything moving smoothly and were quick to answer our (many!) questions. You can tell they know exactly what they're doing, which makes the whole process so much easier. Overall, the team is professional, experienced, and extremely well-versed in the kind of nuance that SF projects demand. Highly recommend!
