We searched for a contractor to do a complete remodel of our Victorian flat with all of the…read moreassociated complications. The bid we received from Bay Remodels was not the least expensive, but based on our interview and subsequent follow up conversations I felt confident that we would be able to communicate with Arsen in a straightforward way and was impressed that during that process, he returned calls and showed up when he said he would. Fortunately, it was that way through the whole project. It was a difficult project with many unforeseen structural issues. Arsen and his project manager, Emilio, were responsive to every question and I always got immediate call backs or texts. Arsen has an obvious passion for craftsmanship and design and takes a real interest in assuring that the outcome is aesthetically and structurally sound. He went above and beyond to make sure things looked right even if they weren't specified on the plan. We have contractors in our immediate family that we would naturally rely on if they were in Northern California, but at the end of the project we felt like Arsen and Emilio looked after us like family. Our house is beautiful and we are thankful that we went with our gut feeling.

We interviewed 6 different contractors and ultimately decided on Gavan Duffy of Build It Green Contractors (B.I.G.) (license#886570) I won't get into all of the details of our decision, only the key elements which were: 1. Budget, our project came in slightly over budget. Not due to B.I.G, but to a few changes we decided to make and the general nature of working on a house built in the 20s and all the little surprises we found along the way. The important aspect for us was Gavan's clear communication with us regarding our options and the costs associated with each choice. 2. Timing, Gavan has a young child and he understands all of the challenges and changes associated with being expectant parents. He and his crew worked hard to stay within our time frame and still give us plenty of time to get our house in order prior to the baby's arrival. 3. Quality, We could not be happier with the attention to detail that Gavan and crew put into our remodel. Our house is stunning and the work is craftsman-like. 4. Cleanliness, this may not be important to everyone, but construction is messy work and B.I.G. cleaned up after themselves after each day. To me this demonstrated the commitment to quality that Gavan and crew insist on. If you have a remodel scheduled, then I encourage you to discuss it with Gavan Duffy at B.I.G.

Gavan and Build It Green was not the first contractor that I contacted for my leak issue, but he…read morewas the first to promptly organize a time to scope the matter. My plan was to call several contractors, collect quotes and pick from the lowest price and/or best match. But, Gavan made it easy enough, and I trusted his assessment enough that I ended up going with him without much additional due diligence. The leak issue wasn't able to be fully diagnosed without removing the stucco on the outside and dry wall on the inside - so Gavan suggested starting there. He produced a small initial quote for labor - which would allow him to produce a more accurate total quote. From there, he provided an estimate that ended up being within 5% of the final cost. He had a wide ranging team working for him - most notably Omar, a very friendly and extremely capable contractor in his own right, as well as several others. He brought in specialists for the roofing and stucco work, as well. The only issue to raise was that scheduling was sometimes challenging - as Gavan is a pretty busy fellow and who was consistently coordinating so many other parties. Sometimes, schedules were shifted around - which did require some flexibility from my wife and I, but nothing too problematic. At the end of the day, he and his team were trustworthy, were all very polite and friendly, and produced very solid work and cleaned up nicely afterwards. I would recommend Gavan and Build It Green, and in fact - when another small project arose within weeks of the big project - I didn't hesitate to call Gavan again.

Referral from Home Depot in Colma, CA. Although, the project was comparatively small, the outcome would greatly inflate the value of our property. The project involved rebuilding of the main stair landing & tiling. The tilings of a medium size 4 handrails. The strength of the rebuild stair landing was based upon the specifications of Mr Al Zapien. This included steel bars & bulky wood support that would prevent deterioration of the longevity of the structure. As far as, the brand of the tile, I ordered the "Ahfir Handmade Cement Tile" ( Yellow & Green ). I paid approximately, $1,541.00. The processed of tilings was precised in all aspects. The design was vividly clarified. It is a master piece that radiated beauty & serenity. Due to the professionalism of Mr Al Zapien & the outstanding craftsmanship of his team, I am compelled to discuss my next intended project. A more diversified objective involving a new drainage system that will give way to a full size bathroom in our basement. With all my confidence & trustworthy to Mr Al Zapien. Thank you.

A few key reasons why Damian and his team stand out: Communication: Damian is incredibly responsive via email, phone, and text. He always kept me in the loop, so I knew who would be at my house when and what they would be doing. Honesty & Integrity: When I asked for guidance, Damian gave honest, reasonable advice based on what was genuinely best for my home. There was zero upselling. In fact, he and his workers regularly went above and beyond, addressing small changes quickly without any nickel-and-diming. Ultimate Professionalism: Having major construction right at your front door can be highly disruptive, but the team made it incredibly easy and stress-free. The job site was always clean and organized. Everyone on site was friendly, polite, and deeply respectful of me, my home, and my neighbors. I never ever felt like I needed to be on alert or micromanage the project to ensure things went right. Expert Problem Solving: Because I have an older home, we predictably hit a few dry rot surprises. Damian immediately flagged what they discovered, how they would proceed, and how it would impact the timeline. He also navigated the city codes and inspection process flawlessly with zero issues. If you want beautiful craftsmanship paired with a stress-free, transparent process, do yourself a favor and hire Damian.

The job was long and got changed a bunch of times along the way. All four apartments were occupied, and all were impacted significantly by the work. Klaus and hie team had to work around the schedules of each of the tenants for access, cutting power and water, etc. Their communication was excellent and they went out of their way to minimize inconvenience and disruption to my tenants. The quality of the work is outstanding; Klaus and Joe take pride in their work, and it shows. The new bathroom -the most visible part of the work they did - is beautiful. Every single day they took time to clean up thoroughly before leaving. They were patient in answering my questions and explaining things throughout the job. Klaus and his team were 100% reliable, always showing up when promised. Never, in a job that ultimately spanned nine months, did I worry that my contractor had forgotten me or that they were too busy with other jobs to worry about mine. When something went wrong, as is probably inevitable on a project of this size, Klaus was more than fair in reaching an agreeable solution. This was a complex job with a lot of pieces to juggle, and Blackline really surpassed my expectations. I would not hesitate for a second to hire them again, and I will sing their praises to anyone who will listen. If you're planning any major remodeling or renovation, I strongly encourage you to give them a call.
