This included door installation and painting, repairing the doorsteps and porch, painting of high indoor ceiling. They work fast and always come on time (fully equipped, including scaffolds). They completed everything on time, as originally promised. Their prices are reasonable, and the quality of work is good. If we will have more projects around our house, we would hire them again. I would highly recommend this business.

Alexander Zaytsev is a thief!!!!! He stole $7000 from me…read more He took $ for materials, promissed work to be done in a month or 2, then disappeared for a year=no work done. When I finally got hold of him, he admitted that he spent my $ 1000 for materials, and next day told me he will not return it. I hired him before. He did a good job, showed me his good side (a mask, beneath which is a very, very, very bad person who bites the hand that feeds him). Then, after he developed my trust, he asked for $6000 for 1 year to pay off high interest credit card debt. I gave it to him but a year later when I asked for $ back he started giving me excuses, made me wait till he sells his car, then, asked for 2-3 more month, then 2-3 more. I still thought he could be trusted and treated him as a friend. I gave him construction work to work for this $ and I gave him $1000 more for materials. He promised work to be done in a month or 2. But, 1 year later - no work, no $ and he did not answer the phone and did not return phone calls for over 6 months. I finally reached him through contacting his wife, asked her to help me get hold of him and explained situation to her. Alexander then called me, told me, that he wanted to return but will not return me my $ because I am contacting his wife, I am a threat to his family. He said: "I'm not going to return anything to you out of principle!." This is his formula/his way to justify his low/thief/ratlike behavior. I want to warn all good people not to fall into his trap like I did. Summary: He did work for me cheap 1 st. 2 nd I gave him more work but it was very expensive but good. After he developed my trust he stole my $ by using deceit and manipulation and showed his real -antisocial personality disorder face. Not only did he steal $7000, He also refused to return keys from my 2 houses and garage remote control (I gave him keys a year ago when I gave him jobs and $1000 for materials).

We used Mizen for a fairly full remodel and were incredibly happy with the results and overall…read moreexperience. For context on the scope of work, we moved our kitchen, removed a bathroom, added a bathroom, replaced doors, added skylights, and redid almost all of the electrical and plumbing in a house that was originally built in 1908 and hadn't been updated since the 70s. They went down to the studs on half the house and we have basically a new house coming out of it. We worked with Mark and Ciaran and the project took 6 months. We'd highly recommend working with Mizen and we'd use them again in a heartbeat. We feel like they delivered an excellent product, were highly communicative, stayed on budget, and we'll definitely be using them again for any future work. So the short of it is that Mizen was fantastic but below are a few more thoughts on specific areas.  Work quality - Mark and Ciaran are craftsmen and they have a strong attention to detail. We felt like they were thoughtful throughout the entire process. It was clear they were very focused on delivering an excellent project rather than optimizing for what was easier or faster for them. They sweat the details. There were also areas that we didn't know to ask for but they pushed on. As an example, they laid the tile in our kitchen such that the midline of the tile hit the center of our oven perfectly. That wasn't something we asked for, it wasn't in the architects plans, and I'm sure it required extra work, but they did it and it's one of the subtle details I most appreciate about the kitchen.  Budget  - My wife and I were quite focused on costs for our project. We found Mizen very reasonably priced and responsive to our budget. They were only slightly higher than some of the other options we considered but we felt like their work quality would be better. We also thought their cost estimate was more thoughtful and therefore less likely to be wildly over budget relative to the alternatives. We did end up going slightly over our original budget but for two reasons that were outside of Mizen's control. The first was around some unforeseen structural issues that they discovered upon opening the walls. We have an old house and anticipated some changes like this. It came out to ~2% of our overall budget and we ended up very glad that they addressed these underlying issues. The second area where we went over our original budget was for things we decided to add mid-construction. We ended up replacing some doors and making a few minor cosmetic changes while we were doing the other work. Again, we're very glad we did it and don't regret the increase. For all the change orders we added, we never felt like Mizen was pressuring us or doing it just to drive up the bill. We felt like they had our budget and overall best interest in mind throughout.  Timing - The project ended up going over our original target by 3 weeks. On a 6 month project that happened in the middle of the tariff blow up, we felt like it was a pretty great outcome. We feel like they made a big push at the end to get us back in the house ahead of a hard deadline we had.  Other - We felt like the Mizen team was also great about dealing with our neighbors. There were a few areas where they want above and beyond what the structural engineer recommended and didn't charge us for it. I've already recommended Mizen to multiple friends. They're fantastic and we'd love to work with them again.

Ciaran and Mark's team has helped me complete two projects in the last few years. One was a…read morecomplete rebuild of a Victoria home in SF; the other is a remodel in East Bay. We are very satisfied with both projects. In fact, my neighbors on the same block have selected them for similar projects right after ours. Here are the 3 key areas we have chosen them twice and will do so in the future. 1). High quality with reasonable price - Mark can solve all technical problems while Ciaran is very detail-oriented. They make sure their employees and subcontractors deliver high-quality finishes from the alignment of the tiles to the cut of the wood trims and beautiful paint job. They do it with a reasonable price discussed before signing the contract. 2). Excellent time management and communication - a rough project timeline is given during the signing of the contract. Spencer manages the project timeline well and keeps us informed about the schedule. In addition, if we ever have questions, he always answers within a day via text, call, or email. Great customer service! 3). A sense of respect and high level of integrity - when Mizen decides to take on a project, the whole team treats the project as though it is their property. They clean up at the end of the day, are respectful of the surrounding neighbors, and protect existing appliances or furnishing. You don't need to worry about neighbor complaints. Sharing some before and after photos of the last remodel project.

After simply providing a drawing of what we wanted they delivered exactly what we requested and more. They made the permit process easier, provided expertise and knew how to schedule inspections efficiently. They referred us to vendors and every referral was very helpful in accomplishing our goal.

Communication was excellent throughout the project and at no point did we feel pressured to add more to the project. The quality of work is outstanding, have high confidence in the work they provided and they will be our first call for our next renovation.

After getting quotes from 6 different contractors, I was close to giving up on the project…read morealtogether. Quotes came in all over the board and we were left with varying degrees of confidence that people could execute or understand our vision. Then we met Idan. He called when he said he would call, delivered a detailed quote, and answered every single question we had (which were many). Idan was easy to talk with and understood our vision, it felt like he was invested and willing to collaborate. Construction on your home feels high stakes: it's a ton of money, it's destructive to your routine, it's messy, it's a freakin emotional roller coaster watching the sausage get made--and Idan stayed with us the entire time. No problem is a problem for Idan, "Don't worry, we'll fix it. Be there tomorrow." He keeps a good attitude and isn't ruffled when you are (and you will be). The thing we most appreciated about Idan and his team was the level of transparency and communication. Being in a client facing role myself, I would never dream of making myself as available as this team does. I imagine it is rare in this business: when you ask a question, no matter how trivial, Idan and his team jump on it in near real time; it's incredible. Idan is creative, a practical problem solver, and a go getter--he wants to find a way and he does it as fast as possible. He tells you what he thinks and he wants to do what makes sense; he's not in the business of inventing expensive solutions. Our house is old and uneven and quirky and they just continued to work with what they had to achieve the aesthetic I was after. They didn't stop until I was happy.  Having made it to the other side, I am so happy with the end result. Idan will have your back.

Going into the project, we knew that we wanted to hire a design/build firm to avoid the back and forth we know can come from hiring separate designers and builders. When we found SF Design Build, we knew that we had made the right choice. Rudy and Jessica are such a great team - seamless communication, no-drama, very accessible, professional, and wonderful design and craftsmanship. As a designer, Jessica came up with very creative solutions to maximize our space, and is a total design pro - she anticipated design challenges before they arose. Rudy led a construction team who were friendly, dependable, and talented - important qualities when they are at your house everyday for months. I would hire SF Design Build again in a heartbeat.

The bid we received from Bay Remodels was not the least expensive, but based on our interview and subsequent follow up conversations I felt confident that we would be able to communicate with Arsen in a straightforward way and was impressed that during that process, he returned calls and showed up when he said he would. Fortunately, it was that way through the whole project. It was a difficult project with many unforeseen structural issues. Arsen and his project manager, Emilio, were responsive to every question and I always got immediate call backs or texts. Arsen has an obvious passion for craftsmanship and design and takes a real interest in assuring that the outcome is aesthetically and structurally sound. He went above and beyond to make sure things looked right even if they weren't specified on the plan. We have contractors in our immediate family that we would naturally rely on if they were in Northern California, but at the end of the project we felt like Arsen and Emilio looked after us like family. Our house is beautiful and we are thankful that we went with our gut feeling.
