Beginning with the bidding process, Chris showed up on time, submitted a thorough proposal when he said he would, and was very professional. Yes, there were hiccups and surprises along the way. Chris and crew always handled them gracefully and fairly. We are very pleased with the quality of their work, and they stand by it even after the job is completed. I highly recommend considering CGC for your remodel.

I am a residential building designer who strives to build strong connections with my clients up…read morefront so that I can experience the project through their eyes and collaboratively realize the design based on their needs and wishes. We also sometimes realizes permit drawings for other designers who would rather not go through the challenges of assemble drawings and legal documents required by cities to acquire building permits. Such was the case was the when I received a phone call. "I'm Christopher Gates and I'm working on the O. project in San Francisco and I think we're missing a real opportunity." Chris went on to explain that the upper and lower levels of the project were connected by a set of non conforming stairs, which were grandfathered in by not touching them, but were't the most enjoyable to navigate. The previous designer had elected not to touch those stairs. But Chris suggested something extraordinary: "Perhaps we can carve out some space from the adjacent closet, a bathroom, and a light well, and make a set of beautiful stairs with a skylight above that unifies the home right when you walk through the front door. Are you interested in checking it out?" As one who wants my clients to really love their new home, I was a little embarrassed that I'd miss the opportunity myself. But even more, I was super grateful for Chris's suggestion as well as his palpable enthusiasm, especially when so many architects and builders are willing just to gloss over it just to get it done quickly. "Hell yes!" I said. We scheduled a time to meet, trouble shot the challenges, and over the next 10 days, co-created an amazing solution together. Yesterday, nearly nine months since that first meeting, I had the chance to check it out the (nearly) finished project. Chris and his fantastic team had totally transformed the place, from a chopped up, piecemeal layout to a spacious, light-filled home with all the essential amenities a family needs. Thank you, Chris, for making me a better designer through your curiosity, fantastic work, and service to your clients!

Nick has been available through the years to answer questions and to help our friends with home remodeling needs. Don't hesitate to choose Firth Construction. You can rest easily knowing that Nick will care for your house as if it's his own and he knows his stuff. He will solve issues that arise. You won't have to intervene and you will be very glad that you chose the right, conscientious contractor. In contrast, we undertook a major remodel with a different GC over the last year. We didn't use Firth Construction because of our scheduling and timing needs; however, we have major regrets that we didn't wait for Nick and his team to be available. We have had numerous headaches with the other company with many things having to be redone and having to settle with "good enough" because we had no choice. We had to bring in our own sub contractors to complete some work so we could feel comfortable that it was done correctly. In fact, we are still waiting for the GC to finish major work and are sitting in limbo with only one (of three) fully functional bathrooms, which is the bathroom Firth Construction did years ago. It's been extremely stressful, frustrating and disappointing. Renovations aren't always easy and unexpected things will happen; however, you can give yourself peace of mind and less stress if you choose Firth Construction. I wish we had and we are paying the price now.

We have just finished our  home renovation with Superb builders, and I am ecstatic over the changes…read moreand the difference it has made for a home that has not been touched in over 50 years.  David has a skill in seeing what most other contractors or designers cannot imagine. Victor (project manager/foreman) has everything in control, day to day, and does not forget a thing.  We interviewed four other contractors, and they couldn't come up with the right floorplan for our kitchen. We did not want to settle.  David designed our kitchen and more than doubled the size.  No problem moving plumbing or switching to gas from electric and finding a better home for our fridge. Our primary bathroom was completely gutted to add a stand-alone tub, and Superb designed a walk-in closet and additional hall closet taking a foot from the adjoining room, which you would never be able to tell. He has a crew for different sets of workmanship, and they know exactly what to do in a strategic time frame. They do not waste any time and clean up the projects beautifully every day.  We had completely gutted our kitchen and primary bathroom. Had the whole house rewired, new plumbing, new LED lights throughout the house, all new flooring on the first floor, and refinished all flooring upstairs.   Superb builders accommodated every wishlist we had.  Their workmanship is precise, clean and the crew are very helpful and pleasant to work with from beginning to end.   Our biggest appreciation is that David and Victor picked up their phones or returned texts right away 100%. They passed every inspection every time, and they have done the work beyond the requirements. We are so happy to know that all the work has been done properly and safely. We will always call Superb builders for all of our future projects.  I trust that they will get the job done right, and David can help design or find a beautiful solution to any difficult home layout you may have.  They do not just remodel a space, they can build a perfect new space. Thank you David, Victor and all the wonderful crew at Superb builders!

Superb builders remodeled our kitchen in January 2020. Joe helped me to select the materials and…read moredesign, and he was very knowledgeable. I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a wonderful design without his advices. Additionally, the cabinet vendor he recommended had great prices and they assisted with designing the kitchen layout by providing computer drawn images using software. This saved a lot of time in the planning stage. Joe was our primary point of contact from start to finish, which made things go smoothly. During project execution, Victor was an invaluable point of contact for discussing and explaining technical details about our options, especially when inevitable complications arose. When we demo'd our old kitchen we found a major code violation that was concealed and they helped us correct the issue. It cost us extra but looking back I'm happy we worked with an ethically sound contractor who does things correctly and follows the city code. Those things can be huge problems later if you try to cut corners! Overall we had a great experience with Superb Builders and would definitely hire them again. They are very professional and do great work. We ended up with our dream kitchen for less than market average prices in our area!

I received a handful of quotes before I started this project and Jason was the most competitive.

He's done a lot of work already, most notably installed a granite countertop.

They left without a trace, and can't wait to have them back to work on other projects.

Nathan responded immediately to my inquiry and came over within 48 hours to assess our space. He asked all the right questions to fully understand our vision and thoroughly explained the options we had given our budget. It was a very collaborative and productive discussion that made me feel very comfortable and confident that he was the right person for the job. So we hired him! The experience only got better from there. We had a narrow week to work with since rain was in the forecast before and after. His crew showed up right on time every day and worked very hard until day's end. They were very professional, courteous and just all around great guys. Our yard isn't easily accessible without coming through the house, but they took such exceptional care that you couldn't tell. Nathan made it a point to touch base frequently and consistently throughout the project just to make sure that they were meeting expectations every step of the way. This really made me feel involved and informed. I have such respect for the all the hard work and attention to detail that Nathan and his team did. The finished product came out 10 times better than what we imagined! We have been outside enjoying our deck, retaining wall, and new fence every day since. It's a great space that feels like an extension of our home and no doubt it has added a ton of value!
