David Mulligan is as good as it gets when it comes to a general contractor in the Marin area. If he…read morehas availability to do your project you must hire him. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This was my first remodeling project and I chose David and Builders of Marin after interviewing ~4 different contractors. The project was a to-the-studs renovation and expansion of a ~1,500sqft, 2 bed, 2 bath ranch home into a ~3,500sqft 4 bed, 4.5 bath contemporary home. Complicating the build was (1) that the house was on a steeply sloped, small lot, (2) needed an entirely new foundation, and (3) was on a narrow street with no parking. WORKING WITH DAVID AND BOM: Working with David on this project was a pleasure. I hear friends describe their interactions with contractors and consider myself very lucky that I was able to work with David and his team on my project. If I ever do any remodel I will only do it if I can get David to do the work, and if I ever buy another house I will get David to visit the property with me. In fact, I would probably hire David first and then shop around for an architect. David is highly responsive, detail oriented, and does what he says he will do every time. From a work-style perspective, David is the ultimate high-integrity professional -- which is difficult to find in the construction industry at times. HOW DAVID AND BOM ARE BETTER THAN OTHER CONTRACTORS: David and BOM are better than other contractors based on three very important qualities: estimate accuracy, follow-through and execution, and crew / construction quality. ESTIMATE ACCURACY: One of the most difficult things about a high-end residential construction project is getting anyone to tell you how much anything costs. David will do the work to come up with an accurate quote, and will give you a reasonable, sober estimate as to how much different scope changes will change the budget. He brought our project in on-time (incredibly rare) and on budget (when adjusted for us changing the project scope and adding ~700sqft midway through). He does not over-promise or under quote (as many GCs do), and also doesn't mark-up everything by 30% (as many GCs do). Furthermore, if he finds cost savings midway through the project he will help you realize those. FOLLOW-THROUGH: As mentioned above David is accurate at estimating project costs and timelines. He is able to BE accurate because he has the crews and sub-contractor relationships to get the work done on time. Unlike many GCs who over-extend themselves during good construction markets, David has a number of quality crews with incredible site foremen (Kim was ours -- the best!) and is able to realistically budget their time to avoid delays. Furthermore, David believes in doing what he says he will do and will make the construction personnel be there to get the work done. CREW / CONSTRUCTION QUALITY: David believes in retaining the best people and has been working with many members of his crews for 20+ years. Many of his master carpenters started out as unskilled labor with him decades ago, and he has taught and mentored them up himself. What this has allowed David to build is a team obsessed with construction quality that knows how to do things the right way, and can get things done quickly. Furthermore, he has a deep bench of talent that he can put to work on projects to get them done on time, the right way. The commitment to finish quality from David and his whole crew is maniacal, and they are able to pull-off flawless contemporary designs that require high build quality. I would like to call out Kim, Omar, Jesus and the whole BOM team who worked on my house -- they are all incredible craftsmen and wonderful people to be around. For all of these reasons and many more, I wholeheartedly recommend David and Builders of Marin for your next project. I would also recommend you get on his docket early -- he gets booked up fast!

We decided to buy an old house on a large piece of land where we could build our forever home. We…read moreknew the house was old, but we did not realize how bad it was. Little did we know at the time, what a massive undertaking this project would be. After talking to several contractors and on the recommendation of our Architect, we selected Builders of Marin to build our home. We picked David because there was something honest about him. What you see is what you get. Having experienced other contractors in the past, that is a huge positive to us and not something we normally encountered. The original plan was to expand onto the existing house but we realized that everything was rotten after decades of neglect by the previous owner and ended up tearing everything down back to dirt and started over. This turned out to be bigger than we ever planned or budgeted for. Along the way, David was able to guide us though all of it. He stepped in and problem solved a range of issues, including many interior design issues that was not even his responsibility. From the mundane of relocating an outlet, to the life changing "holy sh*t, we are having twins", David we need an extra bedroom, David and his experienced crew, handled it all to made our dream on paper become a reality.

It's so good to find a real craftsman who cares about the job he is doing. It repeatedly amazed me to see the extra effort Dave would put in to so many parts of the job, like slowly and carefully salvaging the mouldings he had to remove so he could put them back, carefully caulked, looking as good as ever. He even cuts the bottom edges of shingles and squares them up before he even brings them to the job, just so the finished wall will look as good as possible. Also, he's a very pleasant guy, always willing to tell a story, or show me some tool he loves, or teach me some tricks of the trade. I really enjoyed having him around. And he is always careful about cleaning up the work site every day before he leaves. Call him up for a bid before you hire anyone else.

I have been meaning to write this review for several weeks now, but it has been difficult to try to…read morerelive the trauma brought upon by my previous contractor.  In short, my previous contractor screwed us.  He did not get the permits or the inspections that he said he did.  He basically took our money, abandoned our project, and escaped to Mexico.  In short, we had a house that was in terrible condition and deemed unlivable by San Francisco.  My husband and I were screwed financial and emotionally.  It was an extremely hard time and the pain still lingers but it is finally fading away, thanks to Steve.   Steve and Bartkus Remodel stepped into a very challenging situation, one that very few contractors wanted to touch.  We had a house that was poorly "remodeled", needed permits, had to be remedied, and all while my husband and I were financially strapped.  Steve went into immediate action and took the charge in navigating San Francisco's Building Department's requirements in our unique situation.  San Francisco has very strict building codes.  I've learned from this process; you need someone who VERY knowledgeable and determined to figure out proper solutions.   Steve and his crew expertly worked on many of items in our home.  He worked closely with our structural engineer to bring our housing structure up to code (we went from a closed to open concept and also wanted to legalized our ground floor level, so this was major).  The structural work included adding and fixing various structural posts, adding structural plywood, and performing concrete testing.  Fireproofing was also added, along with sheetrock and an extensive paint job.  Him and his crew remodeled our bathrooms which also includes tiling and creating necessary soffits.  In the interest of wanting to keep this review relatively short, these are just a few things Steve helped us with.   I was most impressed with Steve's communication.  He was extremely easy to reach, always getting back to us within a day and had no problems taking phones calls on the weekends.  Any issues we had he always corrected immediately.  Not everything goes perfectly, but Steve was receptive to all feedback and would try his best to make sure it is perfection.    Although Steve came as a recommendation to us, Steve treated my family like his family.  He knew of our dire financial situation, but was only concerned with getting us into our home.  He happily worked with us regarding compensation.  I and my husband will be forever grateful to Steve and Bartkus Remodel.  They turned my nightmare into my pride and joy.   If you would like more information about Steve and Bartkus remodel, I am happy to answer any further questions.  Please feel free to send me a message.
