I finally got my kitchen remolded!!! I highly recommend SF Construction Services. Great quality of work. Highly, highly recommend.

Alexander Zaytsev is a thief!!!!! He stole $7000 from me. 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). read more

We were referred to Alex at SF Construction by the previous owners of our home as Alex did the previous renovation for the home (a beautiful job!) and we needed to find the parts (old victorian finishings which was very hard to find) to restore the house from recent water damage (post purchasing the home). Alex is professional and willing to help us and point us to the right direction to get the materials we needed and help our contractor out - thank you so much Alex for your help! read more

Alex recently completed a master bedroom and bathroom remodel in my SF condo. I am crazy about the results and about Alex and his crew. A+ all around. When I moved into my place, I gave the interior a 'C'. It was livable, but ..... the closets were too small, the spaces poorly used, the cabinets too low, the walls textured, and the bathroom dated. This would be my first 'solo' remodel, and I was admittedly nervous about taking on a project. I met Alex through the designer who helped lay out a plan, and I have thanked my lucky stars every day since for that introduction. Alex instilled confidence in our initial meeting, and I have never looked back. He has been prompt, communicative, competent and thorough. He also has a great eye for design and details. He was always respectful of my space, neighbors and interests. I was impressed by his integrity, perfectionism, orderliness, and cleanliness, and look forward to my next project with Alex! read more

We have been in this very old house in Noe Valley for nearly 12 years and as with most old houses, we have very little closet space. It's driven me crazy for years. I finally reached out to a few contractors for advice and quotes. It's always a little scary choosing someone to work on your home based simply on a few reviews. But we hit it, Alex was fantastic! We had this 10 foot closet basically built out of a single wall. Alex turned out to be a great choice and we feel very lucky to have found him. He was communicative from the beginning, very responsive to texts and calls, and always punctual. Since he built the closet from scratch he was here numerous days. I work from home and I'm not really one who likes anyone around when I'm working. But, Alex was so easy to have in the house while I worked. He focused on his work and was not intrusive at all. Actually, a pleasure to have around. He was always self-sufficient (with coffee, lunch, etc.) and was completely low-maintainence. He kept me well informed along the way, asking my opinion before moving forward with decisions that were important to the design and function of the project. Most importantly, he did an excellent job! He seemed to really think about the project along the way. He was precise in the details of his work and I just felt that he was sincerely "involved" with the overall project. Without hesitation, I would absolutely recommend Alex! :-) read more

I was referred to SF Construction Services by a friend when I was doing a major remodel of my home. SF Construction handled the remodel and I couldn't be happier with the final results. For the kitchen remodel Alex and his crew helped install new cabinets, counter tops and modern appliances. They were in and out and best of all, they provided an accurate quote. There were no major surprises. For the bathroom, I had a new shower with ceramic tile, new cabinets and new flooring installed. I will absolutely be calling Alex for my next remodel! read more

I had the opportunity o work with Alex and his team on 3 different projects in my home. A complex rooftop deck, Remodlled closest and windows and doors. I could be more pleased with this work, professionalism, polish. He has a great sense of budgets as well as gave me a couple estimates and options for each job. Rooftop decks are notoriously complex. He has a broad understanding of the of the cities weather, which informed his decision on how to build my rooftop deck with composite materials vs. standard woods. He recommend moving to Treks decking due to the better value, construction, and long term life of the product. He also did an amazing design(I think he has the photos posted) He also recommended a couple vendors to purchase these materials at discounted rates which saved me a couple grand. He is beyond candid and professional. He and his team are always on time. Give honest feedback and gives reasonable pricing options with each job. It's always best to have options which other contractors rarely provided for us in an honest way. The second job I worked with Alex's team on was window sighting and reinstallation. We had several windows that were installed incorrectly and had leaks due to weather. They were great windows and Alex said we need to redo the sighting and paper around the windows vs. doing a full repurchase of windows. The best part is it look even better than the original installation. Incredible job and couldn't be happier with no leaks. He went even further and fixed several of the issues from a previous contractor going way above and beyond. The last job we had is Alex doing our closet designs in two closets. The space is always limited but we was able to build two different closets for His and Hers... Making great space for our excess clothing. He made a couple quick recommendations we didn't even think of and it was the right call. Overall, he is a fantastic resources for any home, and understands budgets, costs and different ways of saving you a couple bucks but getting the job. He will give you direct advice different approaches for all areas of you home. He will also introduce you to a network of resources (roofers, electricians) to help you get your job done. We actually ended up doing a new roof from one of his connections and it was fantastic. We have one more deck to complete and will be working with him this summer to build out.. Thanks Alex for all your help with our home! read more

Long story short, Alex and team did an amazing job putting in new windows throughout our home. We had purchased a house which needed a lot of work (to say the least). The windows was one of the first things we had to invest in because they didn't shut all the way. We called, they came, and the job was done fairy quickly. The best part is we were able to live in the house throughout the whole process. It was pretty much painless, and the result is top notch. During our housewarming people kept asking who did our windows. read more

We were interviewing several contractors, and were having a hard time finding one, when a friend highly recommended Alex. We reached out, first off he was very responsive, came to the our house, super punctual. We had a detailed list of projects, but Alex helped us see a whole other perspective, which we liked, we needed the guidance. We felt comfortable with Alex and decided he was going to be our contractor. Alex started working on the project as promised, he had bolted the house down for us, installed brand new hardwood floors, and recessed lights. We were removing a wall and building a load bearing post, and wow the attention to detail that Alex put into that post. He did our crown molding, and even advised the sizing. He painted our whole house. We had a difficult kitchen situation as we were merely moving a few things around and adding a pantry and an Island. It wasn't a simple task, but I can't rave enough about how well Alex was able to workaround the difficulties and challenges to put the additions in. You'd never be able to tell that this kitchen was altered with. Alex also painted the exterior of our house, his attention to detail and cleanliness left nothing to pick at. I must say throughout the whole time Alex was working in our house he always kept the house clean, his tools organized, and no garbage just laying around. He was professional and pun tonal with a vision. Our favorite project that Alex did was the natural stone on our fireplace, it looks phenomenal, he also did our backsplash in the kitchen, which we always get compliments on. We plan on hiring Alex to do future jobs for us, and highly recommend him to all our friends and neighbors. He has true talent! read more

I have used SF Construction Services for multiple projects, each time with the utmost satisfaction. The first time I contacted Alex's team, I was desperate to do correct waterproofing in a shower tub that was leaking downstairs into our neighboring resident's floor. Word of advice regarding this: plumbers are not knowledgable enough to diagnose this, at least not Alansi's Plumbing. I had a hunch that the leak was coming from a small exposed part of caulking/grout, and Alex confirmed it upon inspection. Our home is near a rail line, so it often shakes. Upon mentioning this to Alex, he had the idea to redo the caulk lines with special outdoor waterproofing sealant(Sikaflex), which will not crack like grout but is many times more effective than mere silicone caulking. He did such an impressive job(and exposed poor work from the original builders along the way), that he retained him to do all three of our bathrooms. The second project we brought him in for was to redo the bathroom ceiling of our neighbor's unit that our previous leak had damaged. He did such an impressive job for them that they asked for his business card. The most recent project this company has completed for us is repair and waterproof of our three floor building's entire front facade. The window frames had old, cracked caulking and silicone that was no longer effective. The grout along the granite walls were also exposed and worn. The original builders also had the stupidity to install an interior door for outside use(to cover the gas meter). He replaced the ravaged door with a fiber exterior door, custom cut it and installed a vent into the door, and repainted it to match our building color scheme. The prices may be a bit higher than others, but you are paying for the quality of work you can trust. He always arrives on time, and he has met or exceeded timing for all our projects with him. He stands behind his work 100% and will come back free of charge if any of his workmanship is problematic(something we have not had to take advantage of). What I like most about Alex besides his excellent body of work is his demeanor. He is a big, strong dude, but he is soft spoken and friendly. He wished our family a happy Mother's Day! Not once did he put any pressure on us to do any work. He simply laid out some options and left the choice up to us. He is also humble; I noticed this in his willingness to listen and take feedback from his customers/clients. He is an expert in his field, and yet he is willing to deviate from his original intention and adapt on the fly as things come up. I have searched long and hard for a reliable, fair, and trustworthy contractor. He is precisely that; I would not hesitate to recommend him to those in my network. read more

The service was amazing . My wife and I really wanted to get the bathroom remodeled before our guests would arrive from abroad. Not only that Alex have went out of his way to get the bathroom remodeled before our deadline but he also made sure that the work done with the most precision and quality. Alex is extremely flexible and will walk you through on what needs to be done so that you never feel like you are not kept in the loop . Thank you Alex for your hard work!!!! read more

Alex and SF Construction Services just recently completed a huge kitchen, bath, laundry room and back wall repair of our 1900 farmhouse in San Francisco! We are thrilled with the results! Alex and his crew are professional, incredibly clean and respectful, hard working and timely. They have great attention to detail and incredible craftsmanship. We will definitely be using them for future projects and highly recommend them for small to big jobs. Thank you Alex and team for our wonderful new home! read more

Alex and his crew are not only priced right -- but they meet my very picky quality standards! He was able to cover a wide range of projects at my house (decking, water damage repair, roofing and electrical) always done in a timely, quality fashion. I appreciate someone who has the same attention to detail as I do, and will do whatever it takes to get the job done flawlessly, leveraging the talented network of experts that he knows. I will use Alex again and will gladly refer him to anyone I know. read more

Found Alex through a friend of a friend. He was highly recommended. Gave him a try and I was very impressed with his advise and years of experience. He also quoted me a very reasonable price and how long my kitchen remodel will take. After shopping around with different contractors, I decided to go with him. Normally it's hard to find a good contractor but I think got lucky with Alex. He followed thru with his promise and the work was done right away. My kitchen looked amazing and very brand new. I have new cabinets and appliances installed professionally. Something that I could never have done myself. Very satisfied with his work. I look forward to doing more project with Alex. Thank you for a job well done! read more

Alex has helped me a few times with my construction projects. Some small, some larger, but no matter what size, Alex always found time for me and NEVER let me down. He is a high level professional with experience in many (if not all) construction skills. He is not cheap, but not overly expensive either. What sets him apart from other contractors I dealt with is that he always does what he says and does it on time, and on budget. He is no nonsense gay - he would rather take a loss then hurt his reputation. He cares, cares to the point that his job site is ridiculously clean, and I mean vacuum clean - I've never seen a cleaner job site! To me its a sign of a true professional. He is getting a highest mark form me. Highly recommend. read more

Wow, amazing work Alex!!!! I cant recognize my kitchen anymore!!! It is beautifully designed, fully remodeled and extremely convenient!!! I found SF Construction services through my friends. I could not be happier. Everything was done on time, which is one of the most important things for me. Besides my kitchen was not an easy task to complete since my house is over hundred years old, and there were a lot of complications with floors, cabinets and sink. However Alex and his staff are extremely knowledgable and professional. I am very thankful to my friends who recommended them to me!!!! Everything was done in a timely manner. I will definitely be coming back and recommending Sf Construction services to the rest of my family acquaintances and friends . read more

San Francisco Construction Services, Inc fixed a major drainage issue we had about two years that required a french drain along the whole side of our house. Recently in Fall of 2013, we had them come back and remodel two of our bathrooms, a deck , frame and finish out a skylight well in our dining room. They took great care in measuring and researching the projects before giving an estimate. We had a lot of quirks and code violations with our original construction, which they helped remedy. S.F Construction did a great job reworking the plumbing, electrical, sheet rock and tiling. They were also kind enough to take care of a few other projects while walls were exposed. Work on framing the skylight well, required exposure to the attic, which had some pretty vile dust. They sealed off the area, so as to prevent the dust from entering our living space. Their work was very clean and professional. My husband and I work from home during the week and we were able to go about our business while construction was going on. The Contractors were a pleasure to have in our home, they were like family. We had everything done for Thanksgiving, just in time for the holidays. Our friends, neighbors and family who have toured our remodel during and after construction, have been very impressed with the new improvements and craftsmanship. We highly recommend San Francisco Construction Services, Inc. read more

This is the third time we called SF Construction Services. We first called them when we decided it was time to tone down our downstairs. Guys came out made a few paint recommendations and did a great job. They were also very fast and neat. I loved it, my wife loved it and our friends were jealous! :) - 5 stars! Second time we called SF Construction Services when we decided to install hardwood flooring throughout the second floor. Once again they came out, recommend great material, provided estimate, and perfectly executed the job. Once again i was happy, wife happy and friends... Jealous! :) - 5 stars! This time around we had to call them when we came back from vacation and found our guest bathroom and parts of hallway flooded. Guys came out tore some walls and flooring off, installed dehumidifying machines and gave us a few options. Tree weeks later they were back installing floor in hallway and perfectly matching it with the parts that were not damaged. They partially replaced and repainted walls in the bathroom and put a new ceramic tile. Our bathroom looks better now than before we went on vacation. I'm happy, wife loves it, friends happy too! :) - 5 stars! Thank you guys for all your help! read more

My husband and I heard about Sf Construction from my fellow employee. I called to have them come and give me an estimate on our kitchen and they started construction 2 weeks later. I always worried I would over pay since I don't know too much about remodeling but they were honest, professional, and very clean. I will use their services again when I can redo my bathrooms. My kitchen looks amazing! read more

I found Alex on Yelp when looking for someone who would take on a smaller job (and establish a relationship that could lead to a range of projects.) He was very responsive and visited twice just to scope out a door/frame issue and advise on how to fix. Alex also pointed me in the right direction to look at the components I wanted to choose for ordering. He did pre-work so his team could show up with a plan and the right materials to finish the work in one visit. They were on time, efficient, and considerate of the people/house they were working in - all around great people to work with. I had a little misunderstanding on price, better for me to have that on a small project, but Alex addressed my questions and at the end of the day I believe I paid a fair price for quality service. The finished job is exactly what I was looking for. read more

I read all the great reviews about this company so I called them to do some bathroom work at my office. They not only did excellent work but kept my office clean the entire time. read more
