I'm not one to gatekeep, so I have to share our amazing experience with New Century Custom Cabinet…read morein San Francisco! This place is a true diamond in the rough - think hole-in-the-wall restaurant with incredible food. It's tucked away in a warehouse with no fancy showroom, no website, and no social media presence, which initially seemed unusual. But here's the thing: we didn't need a pretty showroom. We needed quality work at a fair price, and that's exactly what we got. Our contractor connected us to New Century after our interior designer's vendor in Texas quoted us jaw-dropping prices for custom cabinetry. When we met with Tracy, we immediately knew we were in good hands. She has a sharp eye and decades of experience - she caught several oversights in our designer's plans right away that could have caused issues down the road. Tracy showed us samples that perfectly matched the white oak stain and design our Texas vendor had proposed. Same quality, same materials, same design - but we saved **tens of thousands of dollars**. I'm not exaggerating. We were so impressed that we had Tracy handle our wine cellar and bathroom cabinets as well. The final product across all spaces exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and knowing they manufacture everything in-house gave us confidence in the quality control. New Century Custom Cabinet was hands down one of our best finds during our entire home renovation. If you care more about exceptional work and fair pricing than Instagram-worthy showrooms, don't hesitate to reach out to Tracy. You won't regret it!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We did cabinets in the kitchen, pantry, bar, mudroom, living room, family room and primary bath. It was a lot of cabinets!

They use high quality materials, construction and paint, and Tracy was very helpful from a design perspective as well!

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.

Before Charlotte I had talked to 2 other designers (other companies) to mock up a kitchen, but they completely failed to listen to the design brief and spec'ed a cookie cutter kitchen that was a poor use of the space. Charlotte carefully listened to what we want*, and then delivered on the design with great suggestions. She was the only designer we talked to that had both the talent and empathy to deliver. She is detail oriented with both the usability of the kitchen and measurements, and is also able to have good discussions about quality-cost trade offs: Will the ADU door open, with the fridge so close? Is there enough space on each side of the hob for cooking? Are the upper cabinets easy to reach? What materials to make the cabinet boxes? What custom elements are needed to create a built-in look, etc, etc... it just goes on and she's on top of it all! Gilman's then delivered the kitchen on time and drama-free, and also arranged a great carpenter to make some final adjustments. Highly recommend, will return for the next kitchen. *Brief: a kitchen with all the normal appliances in miniature, easy to reach storage, but with an open feel and clean sight lines,

They…read moreimpressed, whether it was with the handling of inspections and inspectors, the transparency with financials, or the simply trade itself, John Shaw and his team were always on top of our renovation. Professional, respectful, and highly communicative, he was always there whenever we needed him, by text, phone, or in person, if we needed reassurance, advice or progress reports he always seemed to be right on the ball. It's hard to communicate just how important this is to keep the blood pressure down while undertaking something as life altering as a major home renovation, but we always felt Fahan had it under control. Our project was completed on schedule, 7 months to do a new kitchen, master bath, staircase installation, family room and deck, plus electrical and lots of small detail work around the house. Seven months is really something considering how easily big renovations like ours can go off the rails. Horror stories abound, and we, quite literally, had none. What a huge relief. In terms of costs, Fahan was transparent and upfront with us. They estimated and invoiced all expected and unexpected costs up front, and clearly stated any potential overruns. There were some, but none that we felt were from left field, and for each one we were given options to keep in line with what we were comfortable with. We understood and signed off on everything before anything moved forward, with a comforting degree of transparency. The only downside we could see was that the pricing tended to be high. It's not entirely clear however if this was due to the current economic conditions of '22-'23 or if it's just what quality work and workmanship costs. But as they say, you get what you pay for. Overall, we felt well-taken care of throughout the process, like there was an insider who knew the business, the pitfalls and the tricks. "I trust them", were words we uttered more than once. Most of the time we weren't even at the house, only catching up on the progress on weekends, but we always knew that the work would get done and with little to no issues along the way. THe house turned out amazing. We really couldn't be happier with the work they did. Fahan's just a quality outfit, contractors and subs, that you should trust with your house too. Just top-shelf all the way. Two thumbs up.

We hired Fahan for a number of projects at our home in the Outer Sunset of San Francisco: building a new deck, extending power and plumbing to the back yard, replacing our leaky roof, providing access to the new deck from our bedroom and a number of other misc projects inside our home. All of these projects were completed on time and with superb quality. John was incredibly friendly, professional and responsive throughout the whole process. He was extremely thorough: from working with the architect to co-ordinating with all the inspectors, to introducing us to all the members on his team and what we could expect from them on a regular basis. He managed the whole project effectively by providing us with timely quotes, invoices and being diligent about addressing any follow up questions we had. If there were any unforeseen issues with the weather or supply chain issues, John kept us informed and worked around each of these issues while keeping the project on time. Every single day, his team would show up on time and work diligently while keeping us posted if they needed anything. When we wanted something updated or changed, they obliged us immediately. What was particularly impressive is that they pulled off a number of different projects working across 3-4 different groups of people! I will definitely miss them around our home. And will reach out to them we need anything built or fixed moving forward.
