The reason this updated review got posted now is because I just found out mishaps happened and is during the time when Irfan was on vacation and there was no one guiding the sub contractors, leading to all kinds of mishaps. Thus I believe if this company was supervised by on site manager , this would not have happened. All sub contractors were left without supervision, therefore not a good practice . read more

We recently hired 786 Construction to build a home office, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From the early consultation to finish, Irfan and his team were professional and very detail-oriented. We openly shared our design ideas, and the team worked diligently to accommodate our wish list and gave us practical tips on what may or may not work. In the end, the final work is better than what we had in mind. We highly recommend 786 Construction. read more

they did my backyard remodel recently putting in artificial turf and concrete walkway as well as adding drainage. they are very knowledgeable, explaining to me clearly what they are going to do, and they did the work with care. highly recommended read more

Irfan was very responsive when I needed someone to look at a property I was considering purchasing. He responded quickly, took a look at the property, read the disclosures and responded to my questions. For a small fee, I felt comfortable moving forward with an offer on the house. Now I am ready to ask him to bid for the remodeling I need done. read more

786 Construction has been a pleasure to work with start to finish. Irfan responded quickly to my request for proposal and we were able to work out all of the specifics seamlessly. He is very reasonable and easy to work with. Irfan stayed in continuous communication with me throughout the project with regular and consistent updates. Even under the pressure of city inspectors and deadlines, Irfan and his team were able to complete the job in which everybody was happy. I really appreciate their professionalism, reliability and integrity. I am pleased with my experience with 786 Construction and I foresee continued business with them in the future. Don't hesitate to contact them for your next job. read more

We remodeled/finished the garage with new ceiling, lighting and paint. We wanted to make it into a little gym with Treadmill etc. Irfan is great to work with and his team across the board does solid work. He and I planned out the various elements of the garage and evaluated ceiling and insulation options. Irfan kept me informed at every step, including when there were some small hiccups and couple of delays - primarily due to a subcontractor that did the drywall who was not very responsive. Irfan, on the other hand, is very responsive and conscientious about timelines and costs. The work was done in budget, and our garage looks really nice now. read more

tl;dr - right price, on time, attention to detail, good behavior. We recently finished our full kitchen remodel and ceiling lights installation. Irfan and his team really did an awesome job from day 1. They also completed the work on time. No delays. Because we were on a tight timeline, they front-loaded a lot of demo and installation work. So by day 2 we already had our wall cabinets up. I loved the workmanship and attention to detail of his team. They were also really friendly and accommodated all our requests. Irfan is very easy to work with. He listens and comes up with suggestions that suits your needs and is open to trying new things. I was able to customize few things around the kitchen after working on the designs with him. I'd strongly recommended getting work done from Irfan and his team. read more

I highly recommend 786 Constructions for the good quality of their work, timely execution and good pricing. 786 Construction team helped us with installing new flooring, interior painting, insulation, patching, plumbing, caulking, vanity replacement, garage epoxy and a lot of other handy work like fixing a hazardous dryer vent. The garage epoxy that they installed is one of the best epoxy surfaces I have ever seen! They are a one stop shop for almost all major and minor construction and repair work. Irfan has been very responsive from the beginning, thorough and easy to communicate with. He goes into details systematically about all the work that needs to happen and the expectations are set about each of them. He is also detailed about the payment breakdown and have clear communication and good transparency about it. They tried hard to finish up the work on schedule and also had work done over some weekends. Like all big projects, there were some things that got missed in communication or needed further improvement. They were receptive to feedback about the work and did fix up most of those things we brought up. I recommend documenting the details of your requests and when applicable take before-after pictures. This will make it easier to track and refer back to it when the work involves a lot of items. read more

Irfan and the team at 786 are awesome! They did what they said they were going to do for the price that was quoted and time allotted. We had multiple people come in and bid on everything for all sorts of prices and promises. Ultimately they won because they were mid-tier priced (great value) and they were reasonable with what is possible and what is not and where we could realize some savings. Professional and frankly - long-term partners for residential work!! Keep it up Irfan!! read more

Worked with them on an ADU project and very happy with the end result. Irfan was very easy to work and gave some great ideas where I could save time and money. Very well managed from beginning to end of the project and gave constant updates about the progress. He has a very good team and every one did an amazing job. Highly recommend them if you are looking for any construction project. read more

I want to preface this and say the garage remodel turned out beautiful... I think if you saw what it looked like, you'd definitely want it in your own home. At the end of the day, it was in the range $$ that I had expected but took longer (due to hiccups switching contractors). We wanted to do a garage remodel of our incredibly messy garage (technically, my parent's) Irfan and Terry stepped in when a previous contractor was unable to deliver the results we were expecting, despite giving them a much bigger budget than what others quoted for a garage remodel. It was the typical over promise, under deliver. They tried to pay as little as possible in sub and material to maximize their own pockets. We were not the least bit happy so I pinged Irfan for advice and help. We terminated the previous relationship (luckily, without any push back) and Irfan stepped in to finish the job. I ordered New Age pro cabinets from Costco, sink and tall cabinets, flow wall, door from home depot, backsplash/casters from New Age, lock from ebay and Irfan and Terry took care of the rest. They straightened the very uneven walls, primed, patch and painted everything. They got in a plumber to do the piping and a sub for the epoxy floors (absolutely need two top coats... it is textured, which wasn't exactly what I expected but it was still very pretty). They install the door/lock, straightened the stem wall, built out the dryer vent, added trims, insulated the roof, remount the water heater, add an access panel and installed the cabinets and sinks (which is harder than you think to get everything to align and they really thought of everything. They considered even the slope of the garage floor!) All together, including how much we paid the precious contractor (they did the ceiling, lighting, switches, check for mold, painted and did some attempts on the wall, floors, moved the garage door opener and installed the new side mount I bought), the garage probably was in the range of $25k to $30k (including materials I purchased, which can go cheaper or pricier... I shopped, waited for deals and found creative solutions. If you do custom cabinets, have added options or can't wait for sales, it's likely going to be pricier). I took care of the design/ color element and provided them a draft of how I wanted things to go. I checked out a lot of garage designs online and I have to say, for a moderate remodel, ours is gorgeous and very functional. I actually LIKE to be in the garage, versus dreading myself to go in there to do the laundry. If you are looking to remodel, definitely check in with Irfan. He's easy to work with and very responsive in the whatsapp group he created. You do have to be involved though... since only you know what you want, so definitely communicate as much as you can in advance and be specific. Here's the before and after, courtesy of Irfan. I was going to do some nicer pictures when we finish cleaning and moving things in (so you can see what it looks like when the door is closed) but it's been a tad busy with three young boys and trying to clean. I'll update with those later when I get the chance to bust out my slr. read more

The bottom line is this: Ifran and his crew knocked out our giant project (complete garage remodel) on time and right around the quoted price. There were a few small hiccups and communication issues along the way, but I guess that's to be expected with any big project (especially now when everyone's tying to scramble and adjust to whatever COVID rules CA has in place that week or month). We had all new insulation, drywall, paint, epoxy and cabinets/installation. The cabinet installation was one of the trickiest parts and Ifran brought in someone who clearly knew exactly how to line everything up and make the vision all come together. At the end of the day the garage looks great and it's a much more functional space for the fam. read more

I contacted 786 after finding their great reviews on Yelp. Irfan was extremely responsive and came over to look at my home project within 2 days of my first call. When I met with him, he was professional and friendly. At the consultation, he thoroughly reviewed details of my project and promptly sent a reasonable quote. He listened to my concerns and was able to offer ideas that I wasn't aware of. I appreciate all the time 786 took with me in my home, and although we didn't use their services, I highly recommend their company based on my favorable positive experiences with them. read more

A few years ago I hired Irfan to paint the exterior of our house. The painter was very professional and did a great job overall. Last year again we hired Irfan for our kitchen remodel. This time however we had a few issues - 1. Project delays. The project took double the time that was initially estimated. 2. Dumping debris from his other projects in the dumpster parked in our driveway. Apparently, this is standard practice. 3. Electrical issues around permitting. Eventually resolved but was a major pain point. 4. The project site was not kept clean as promised. They didn't keep the work area sealed. In the end, in spite of the issues, we are happy with how the kitchen turned out. Irfan and Terry are two good guys! They're honest, easy to work with, and have put together a good team of sub-contractors and handyman. They're responsive and will work with you to tie up any loose end. Recommend for small to mid-sized projects. read more

786 Construction - before and after - General Contractors Near Me

Irfan and his crew worked on a project for us recently, and we cannot be happier with his efforts. I was looking for someone who would be flexible, knowledgeable and schedule-driven. Irfan met all those requirements. He gave a very accurate quote (even though he was not able to see the house in person due to COVID restrictions) and delivered the project on time. Some of the highlights - - He is very good in explaining the options available - for example, we had to texture the walls before painting, and he gave a very good understanding to us on the tradeoffs - He read a lot of the manuals for the appliances and products we were looking to update, and sent us pointers of what we should buy - His team of painters, countertop fabricators, tile installers is really very good We know that scope should be well-defined before the project, but it is impossible to do that. For the few change orders we had - his costs were reasonable. All in all, we are very happy with his work and would recommend him highly. read more

786 Construction - Kitchen remodel - cabinet painting, countertop installation, tile backsplash, breakfast bar redo - General Contractors Near Me

I consulted 786 Construction on a potential home purchase. Irfan is a consummate professional on all levels who will place the needs of his clients first. My experience with 786 was nothing short of excellent. Irfan is highly responsive and well versed in the construction trade. I was notified of various issues in the inspection reports after my consultation. Although this impacted my offer, it potentially saved me tens of thousands downstream! I am highly impressed with 786 Construction - it is refreshing to find an honest contractor in a field where trust is so critical. I will certainly be keeping 786 under consideration moving forward (whether home inspections or remodeling) and encourage you to give them a call. read more

Irfan helped us evaluate a home my spouse and I were considering to make an offer on. I'm incredibly glad we did the consultation as Irfan pointed out numerous aspects of the remodel not being to code and other details only an experienced professional would know. Nothing went by him as he diligently evaluated each room and answered all our questions about expansion potential and ball part model time/costs. After the 1 hour review he even offered to take a look at the disclosure as a courtesy and found that as suspected the remodel wasn't permitted. We completely missed that one critical line item and after knowing it decided not to make an offer. Irfan saved us from years of headaches and potentially overpaying for a home that only had a good face. read more

786 Construction located in South Bay exceeded their expectation in quality and customer service. These guys were very professional in assisting us with HONEST estimates and provided creative ideas for the fence in my backyard, that was taken down by a recent storm. Since the Fence was a joint expense that was going to be shared with both of my neighbor's and me, I was a bit apprehensive about taking up the responsibility to rebuild the new fence, but Irfan and Nelson both helped make the entire process quick and easy. These guys were friendly and did clean, thorough job on the entire project. They will work with your requirements and make suggestions on how to either make the project more cost-effective or ways to get you the best bang for your buck. read more

We hired Irfan and his team to remodel our new home, which included installing recess lights, putting up an exposed brick wall, redoing a half bath, flooring, texturing, painting, and more. We solicited multiple quotes from other well reviewed contractors, but felt that Irfan seemed easy to work with and reasonably priced. Fortunately, our intuition paid off! Some of the contractors we spoke to simplest said yes to everything just to get our business, and others pushed back on everything and insisted on their own designs rather than listening to what we wanted. Irfan, on the other hand, worked hard to understand what we wanted but was also able to offer his expertise on things we might have overlooked. There were some hiccups along the way (as expected in all remodeling jobs I think), but ultimately, we are very satisfied with the results! We would not hesitate to hire them again for future needs and will definitely be referring them to our friends. read more

Irfan and Terry are fantastic to work with! They came to the house a day after I got in touch with them and were on the job (demolishing old cabinets and remodeling an area of our family room) later that week. They were also extremely helpful advising on other jobs, including electrical issues and HVAC. For a modest price, they managed to fix an issue with flickering lights that had eluded several electricians. Highly recommended for any general contractor needs! read more

We had two full bathrooms remodeled by 786 Construction. Irfan and team did a great job on the project so much so that the highlight of the house are the two bathrooms! :-) Irfan is very polite, easy to work with, comes forth with good ideas, warns you of potential pitfalls in the plan before executing and last but definitely not the least he gives the best value for money. I would hire him anytime for my next project! read more

Loved the way Irfan changed out all the outlets in our new house and did the wall mounting of the two TVs. Very professional and flexible. I will totally work with the crew again. read more

This review is regarding a bathroom remodel. Irfan was excellent to work with from quote to execution. He was clear in his communication and was able to resolve any issues that came up quickly and efficiently. Alex and his team who did the actual work were fantastic and did a very good job and I am highly satisfied with the work. They cleaned up the site every day and also took care of the debris immediately. I would definitely go back to Irfan for any of my future projects. I highly recommend 786 Construction. read more

Irfan and 786 construction remodeled our kitchen in Oct-Nov 2017. They did a solid job and I will recommend them to any new customer. The work was non-trivial; we had to break down the whole kitchen and rebuild it differently. 786 did a good job making this as convenient as possible for us. In between we also discovered and fixed water damage below the dining area floor. Overall building a kitchen is a highly onerous task and Irfan and his staff were very helpful. They did particularly good work installing a cabinet in the space below the stairs. They were also quite cooperative in making changes and improvement for some things we were initially unsure about. One thing to call out is that Irfan is pretty responsive to emails/SMS. Overall a professional and competent team. read more

I hired Irfan to design, tear down, and rebuild my detached garage. It was a long, stressful process due to complications with our neighbor, but Irfan was patient and communicative throughout. Things that went well: - Irfan create a WhatsApp group with me and Terry (his partner) to keep everyone in the loop. - Irfan was always quick to respond to issues and/or questions. He was patient in talking through many different possibilities and solutions. - Irfan had very good working relationships with the inspectors and helped us navigate several challenges with the city in a calm and professional manner. - Irfan and Terry were supportive as issues with our neighbor escalated and construction came to a temporary halt. They helped us revise the plans and figure out how to work creatively so we could finish building the structure in a tight space. - Pricing was competitive. Things that could have been better: - It took Irfan's engineer/architect (Jose) 6 months to produce the plans. The drafts had basic errors (like numbers not adding up) which required numerous revisions. While I would recommend Irfan, I would not recommend this engineer. - Our ceiling ended up with a few support beams awkwardly sticking out that were not shown in the conceptual drawings. While the beams were visible after framing, I assumed (incorrectly) that the drywall over them would still be flat. I don't know if the engineer, the framers, or the drywallers were to blame, but it's something we wish had been identified and presented to us early on as a possible concern. One thing I didn't realize going in is that Irfan acts more as a manager coordinating what needs to be done, and Terry is the contractor that provides technical guidance. Irfan works closely with Terry, and this didn't present any issues, but I thought it might be helpful context for others. On balance, I'm happy with how our project turned out and I'd certainly consider using Irfan again. read more

Irfan and the team did a wonderful job finishing our garage. The job included insulation, dry wall, painting, creating an attic space with access, and epoxy. The work was high quality and quick. They went the extra mile and cleaned up a lot of old plumbing and provided a quick turn around when we were without water because of a leak. They were very flexible like working around us requesting to still be able to use the washing machine as much as possible. Irfan was always very responsive and always gave good descriptions and suggestions when needed. He and the team always had a good attitude. They took care of concerns we had without question even though they were probably silly minute details. Would definitely contact 786 Construction for future jobs! read more

We have just finished house remodel with 786 Construction. We contact 5-6 contractors and after some interviews we decided to go with 786. They gave us an itemized quote that we were comfortable with and not trying to make us do more as some other contractors. At first we want to added an additional bedroom and bathroom, but then we decide to have new tankless water heater, repipe the whole house, new gutter, new exterior paint, new hardwood floors in 3 other bedrooms .... lrfan and Terry were very accommodating to our requests. They were really responsive and very good at follow up. Things came out really good and we are really satisfy with the works. We will definitely ask 786 construction for future remodeling projects. read more

We were naive to any major construction projects to our house, but 786 Construction helped us build a small room in our backyard with ease. The workers and lead construction manager worked with our schedule and conducted themselves very professionally. I felt I could trust them with their advice and recommendations. They were always responsive to my questions and adjusted easily to any last-minute changes that we wanted. The company is very mindful of disturbances to neighbors and many times I did not even realize they were working in the back. I highly recommend 786 Construction without hesitation and am considering them for other projects we have! read more

We hired Irfan and his crew for remodeling our home - tearing down the existing kitchen and installing a new one, adding a walk in closet, expanding the master bath, recess lighting, fans and hardwood everywhere, and a new skylight in the kitchen. We also had a short timeline (three months) to complete all of the above. We got multiple quotes, Irfan's was the most reasonable among licensed contractors. He was one of the few that responded in time. Some of the others came through word of mouth referrals, but we're glad we went with our gut and trusted yelp reviews. Ok, it did go two weeks over, but that's pretty decent in the remodeling business. Also, make sure you get everything you want done written in the contract - do not assume anything, otherwise it will cost extra. That said, Irfan was very accommodating and where possible agreed to our changes, at times without extra charges. read more

I hired Irfan to strengthen and adjust the roofline of my home to prepare for solar panels, and also recover from more than 50 years of neglect. 786 was remodeling a house down the street from us and I was impressed both with the quality of the work and the low impact on the neighborhood. I asked Irfan to bid along with two other companies. His detailed proposal, along with the example of his existing work made us choose 786 Construction. Irfan worked carefully with my structural engineer and the city inspector so that we passed inspections the first time. His subcontractors were respectful of our time and space and kept a very neat worksite. My plantings and lawn were not damaged, trash and tools were picked up at the end of the day and the crews ensured that we had access to entrances and exits. The small changes I requested during the process were discussed and added where appropriate. Irfan stuck to the budget except where we agreed to changes. Our resulting roof is strong and lovely. We were so happy with his work that we immediately hired him to do a full exterior paint job, which also came out beautifully. If I have to fault Irfan in one area it would be providing clear schedules of who would be on our property and when. His crews made steady progress but we weren't always sure what would be happening over the next few days. read more

I will definitely come back to 786 Construction for future home projects. -JT read more

I got 10 recessed lights installed for these guys. 2 of them came. Initially I thought that, they are slow but they believed in "measuring it twice and cutting it once". It was great. Once they started with cutting and installing it was FAST!! The guys were real professional. They paid great attention to keep things clean in the house. After the work was done, they cleaned up all the things Great guys, fast and efficient work. Completely satisfied. read more

Rigo and company worked on our house this year and did a phenomenal job. We had a bedroom that needed some work - he made sure he was meticulous through every part of his process.

I used 786 to repair flooring and drywall that was damaged from a leak in my HVAC unit. 786 sent a team to repair the drywall the very next day. Irfan was extremely thorough while providing an estimate on the total repairs. I was really stressed when I found that my flooring had been discontinued by the vendor. Irfan put me at ease by finding an alternative that looked almost identical to my original floor. I am genuinely impressed with his attention to detail when comparing the new hardwood to the current installation. His team was very efficient and accommodating. Once the drywall dried, the team came and repaired the flooring in ONE DAY! I recommend everyone to use 786! read more

I needed to design 2 restrooms and my budget was really tight. I went around big renovation stores for quotes and it would have cost me an arm and a leg if I went with big chains like Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. 786 Construction not only did a phenomenal job with the construction work, they stayed below my budget, used high quality material and made the restrooms look aesthetically pleasing as well. My wife is very selective when it comes to home improvement and even she was impressed with the overall quality they provided. If somebody wants immensely highly quality work at a more than reasonable price, my personal advice would be to not waste your time shopping around with other construction companies that will rip you off. I highly recommend 786 Construction and I would definitely use their service over and over again. read more

I was happy that I chose 786construction to move a fence in my yard. They gave a reasonable estimate, and a convenient start date. Brian completed the work with high quality, on budget, and within the time frame he had promised. He selected and bought good wood posts for the fence. Irfan responded promptly to messages. I'd certainly use them again. read more

Just moved into a house and required painting to be done urgently to get rid of cigarette smell. Called up Irfan who was recommended by a colleague and he sent Francisco the very next day. Had a look and gave me a quote that I thought was reasonable. Didn't have time to shop around as he said he could start the next day and that was exactly what I needed. Both Irfan and Francisco are very friendly, polite and so far extremely happy with the paint job. Have some smaller projects to complete over the next year and will definitely reach out to Irfan again to get some work done. read more

I'm a very happy new customer! I fired off at least 7 messages to different companies via Yelp on Tuesday looking for a structural engineer to design a support beam to go into our roof so we can knock down a supporting wall. Irfan responded so fast, like within the hour, with a very reasonable quote and simple instructions for what I needed to send him in order for him to whip up some drawings. I literally had plans in my inbox the next day. These guys work fast! I also loved that I could pay my invoice via PayPal, which made the transaction easy. I now have everything I need to submit to the city for permits, and Irfan couldn't have made it easier. Aside from the design work I'm happy with, Irfan provided an extremely good labor quote for installing the beam, demoing the wall, putting up drywall, retexturizing and painting the ceiling. I'm still deciding what portion of labor I want to do on my own, but I'm stoked to have Irfan & 786 Construction "in our back pocket" for the portions of the project my husband and I might not trust ourselves for moving forward. I'm happy Yelp helped me connect with Irfan! read more
