Pat and his team did a fantastic job in the construction of our in-law unit rental in the Outer Sunset. We couldn't be happier and with such high quality work we'll be getting a 7 year return on investment. Worth it! Have recommended this company to several people. read more

This company is SLOW, so slow to the point where I feel a yelp review is warranted because I am so irritated with their crap outside my building for the past year. Their equipment has literally sat there collecting dust while they are apparently waiting on some permits. The entire block gets their parking taken up by their giant tractors, and gets to stare at scaffolding and their bright orange dumpster for a year. Literally, I think I have seen them working on it maybe 3 days total. I totally get the delays in construction, but this is absurd. I even contacted their company for an update and, of course, got no response. Clearly I am not alone in my sentiments as I read the other reviews. So many fast, efficient, RESPECTFUL construction companies out there, why would you ever pick this one? UPDATE: 5 months later..... no progress. Two homeless people have now settled into their site, so absurd. UPDATE #2: Today is 09/30/2018, everything is still there, tractor, scaffolding, bright orange dump chute. Sometimes I see them working....I actually get excited when I hear construction noise, how sad is that. Permits have been extended until January 2019. read more

Kerley Construction just finished a soft story retrofit for us at a 9-unit apartment we manage on 22nd Ave and Irving and they are just getting started on another soft story retrofit for an 8-unit apartment we manage on 43rd Ave and Taraval. Dan and his brother Pat are friendly, skilled, experienced, ethical and professional. The schedule was maintained, and the first project was completed on time. They also understand how to work with the SF Department of Building Inspection and comply with all of the soft story program requirements. In addition to communicating well with us, they worked very well with our tenants to make sure that they were inconvenienced as little as possible. They are a great company and I highly recommend them. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kerley Construction. They are a family owned company and are honest, hard-working individuals whom you can trust to give you their expertise and recommendations. After purchasing our home, we hired Kerley Construction to redo two of the rooms. We couldn't be more pleased in their handling of the project from beginning to end. Our house looks beautiful and the project was completed quickly. I don't have an eye for design and they definitely did! They were able to recommend finishes that made our house look high end (even when it's not). I am surprised by some of the low reviews on their Yelp page but it sounds as though the individuals who have posted low reviews did not actually hire Kerley Construction but lived in a building affected by construction. As many people know, getting a building project completed in San Francisco is a living miracle as even small permits can be a nightmare to acquire and incredibly time consuming. I am glad that we hired a company like Kerley Construction who knows the in's and out's of the city bureaucracy and was able to navigate the system for us. read more

I cannot say enough about the quality, professionalism and workmanship of Kerley Construction. They were hired to do a total foundation rebuild of our outdoor back patio to our apartment building in the Sunset. The patio sits on a slope on sandy soil which made the job even more difficult to deal with. Danny was our contractor, but, when necessary, his brother Pat and their dad John would also come by to assist. The work began in August and concluded by January. This job required many inspections and sign-offs from the City, the special inspections company, and both the structural and geotechnical engineers. No small feat coordinating the timing for everyone to show up in order to proceed with scheduling the huge flatbeds delivering 18-foot caissons, cement trucks, etc. There was always total transparency. My husband and my stress levels were so high since the retaining walls and patio were failing and in danger of giving way. But Danny was always calm and collected in his demeanor which kept us calm and collected. He would always explain to us in lay terms about what was happening, why it was happening, and when it was happening. He and his main worker Luis were always on top of maintaining the cleanliness of the worksite. We have rarely seen a worksite so well kept. They also kept our neighbors' walkways clean on a daily basis. Whenever the cement trucks would arrive, Danny would make sure the car next to our driveway would be well covered with a tarp so that no cement spray would get on it. The main thing we appreciated about Danny was once he saw something wasn't right, he would let you know and how it could/should be remedied. We had a few issues with the inside of the garage with rotting support beams, the drain pipe elevation being higher than expected, rotted walls from the neighboring hillside's dirt coming inside, and other unexpected problems. No worries. They were always corrected along the way. He wasn't the lowest nor the highest priced bid we got, but we definitely got the care and quality we paid for - and more! At the end, I believe we wound up ahead by using him since he saved us money, headaches and future problems down the road. I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews here. I feel they may be neighbors who didn't like their parking spaces taken up or dealing with all the trucks. On our job, there was one neighbor who constantly called the City re parked trucks but we had permits for everything. Can you imagine our contractor having to come out of the hole where the cement was actively being poured and having to come out to deal with the city inspector over parking when there were signs posted allowing for the trucks to be parked? Of course, nothing happened. As for the flatbeds delivering the huge tractors to dig up the soil, the caissons, or what have you. As soon as they were done unloading, they would leave immediately to another job site. That's just the momentary inconvenience caused when this type of work is going on. The job was done close to the estimated time given. One important piece of information. Danny would ALWAYS return our calls that same day or the next day if he was very busy. He would always return texts and emails too. The most frustrating aspect of any job is not getting returned calls. That was not the case with us. Susan L read more

I'm downgrading this to one star after noticing all the problems with their work. One includes the rods drilled from the outside that went right through the walls. As a result we have them protruding through the building and into living spaces. Another includes the tiles were laid with no support underneath so they didn't take longer than a month to crack. Terrible job guys... read more

These guys do horrible job. Uncoordinated, they park there cars in a white zone (pick up & drop off only). The white zone is for a toddler school. I wouldn't trust there work.... read more

We were lucky to have Pat Kerley lend a hand with some side work on our apartment. Hard working, dependable, and honest. Kerley construction is a well-oiled family business who do a great job. They are my go to with any construction need. read more

I live in a building that Kerley Construction is currently working on. Friendly? Yes. Competent?Not really. Our building is having structural repair to the front side, as well as being repainted. At first, they would show up every day with a small crew and do work. A year and a half later, we are still wrapped in scaffolding, plastic, and unfinished work. There is work occurring maybe 2 out of seven days a week, and with a meager workforce when it does. Also, the company has work permits active all over the city, so I am concluding they put this building on the back burner of priorities. I have witnessed 6-7 high rise building started and finished in the time it has taken them to ....... well, do nothing, to our building. I can understand the need to wait on subcontractors etc...... but for months at a time the effort to finish our building is almost un noticeable, simple things being left unfinished through out the interior, and total deprivation of tenant access to windows due to the scaffolding. AVOID them, they are slow and will make your project a last priority if the circumstances fits their needs. read more

I love these guys. They are honest, hard working and very professional. I would trust them with any job, small or huge. The only drawback is that it's hard to get an estimate from them - it takes a long time because they are usually working at a job site or down at DBI. If you have the time, and don't mind spending a bit more for piece of mind, these are the guys for you. read more

Surprised that they don't have any review on Yelp yet. On the other hand, it doesn't surprise me either, since they don't do any advertisement for their business, all of their business came from referral. We were lucky someone referred them to us, the father & sons team did great job for our remodel project. They were professional, they did all necessary preparation to contain the dust which the contractor we fired didn't do. They delivered everything they promised. They communicated to us on a daily base what they were going to do, showed us what they did by the end of the day. They were on the job site everyday, they were on schedule and on budget. We felt bad that we had to rush them at the end since we need to move in. -- The two sons, Danny and Pat tried to accommodate our moving schedule by working after their long day at another project. -- They worked from 6 PM to 11 PM to finish the final touch on our job, and they had to get up the next day for another project at 6 AM. This is what one can call accountable and trustworthy. They have character, they know their craft, they take great pride for what they do. You will be lucky to have them for your remodel project. - To thank them, I am willing to be their reference without to be asked, please feel free to contact me via Yelp. read more
