The entire AGC team is incredible. My wife and I did a full gut remodel/rebuild on a 1912 house in San Francisco. We took the entire house down to the studs and then moved and replaced all the studs. To say we were terrified is a complete understatement. We talked to several GC's, and were referred to Aaron Gordon by our architect. He stood out from the start, and there was really no question who we'd go with after meeting with him and running through his process. He broke down and explained every aspect of the project, and priced out the entire thing in advance. And this wasn't a rough ballpark quote like you get from most GCs, it was down to every detail. We were always in the loop on every aspect of the project. We had bi-weekly onsite check ins, and they provided weekly summaries of work completed and what was on the schedule for the coming week. We were never in the dark. Most importantly, I am happy to say now that the project is over, there were no surprises, and they finished on time and on budget (slightly below actually). That's quite an accomplishment considering the scope of work involved. Their quality is top notch, and the entire team is 100% professional. Not to mention they are just genuinely really good people. They would repeatedly go above and beyond what's expected. Just as one example (to which there are many), right when we moved in we tried to start garbage service through Recology and have bins sent to our house. Unfortunately Recology was hacked and their systems were down for weeks. We had nowhere to put our garbage, so the AGC team swung by several weeks in a row to literally pick up our personal garbage, just as a courtesy until we finally got bins sent to us. I could rattle off countless examples, but I just wanted to highlight the level of service they provide. I was flat out impressed at how they conducted themselves both professionally and personally. This whole thing could have been so stressful, but the team ensured it never got to that point. I dare say it was even enjoyable. It was amazing to watch our home transform knowing it was in good hands. I have zero hesitation recommending them to anyone starting a new project. They are as good as it gets, and they will be our go to for all our future needs. So happy we were referred to AGC. read more

Whether you are going to remodel your home or build it from the ground up you should consider Aaron Gordon Construction. Working with Aaron Gordon and his team on our remodel was delightful. Yes, you read that right, working with a contractor on a construction project in San Francisco was an absolute delight. The craftsmanship is high-quality, the process was extraordinarily well-managed and the communication was continuous. Our down-to-the-studs remodel was completed on time and on budget and we couldn't be happier with the result! I attribute this to the culture of his team, relationships with vendors and craftspeople, weekly (sometimes more) communication with us, a detailed estimate, expert project planning, and the ability to manage unexpected things that come up. After we finished a previous project I swore I would never embark on another large construction endeavor but the prospect of working with AGC again has me reconsidering :) read more

About a year after purchasing our first home in San Francisco, my partner and I realized it required some rather significant structural work that we missed during inspection. It was an unfortunate discovery, but working with Aaron, Joro, Denis, and team made the whole process significantly less painful. We also elected to do some minor remodeling to the affected areas, and directly provided AGC with the design. They were extremely accommodating in this, and Joro, our project manager, provided a wealth of feedback and suggestions that we incorporated. We hired them largely based on their portfolio, and even got to tour one of their previous SF projects that was being prepped for sale. They definitely specialize in higher-end construction, but in the end we felt that both the structural and cosmetic work needed the attention to detail we felt AGC could provide. Excellent communication, COVID-safe, and they were able to rapidly source quality sub-contractors for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and cabinetry despite being in the middle of a pandemic with very high demand. I whole-heartedly recommend AGC and will be referring friends to them. read more

This review for Aaron Gordon Construction (AGC) is long overdue. In a nutshell, our experience with AGC was excellent and we are grateful to our designer for introducing us to this wonderful contractor. The details... We purchased a new home in late 2019 but wanted to add custom cabinetry to several spaces in the house, change lighting, make several updates to the kitchen, paint, etc. After reviewing proposals from AGC and several other contractors, we decided to move forward with AGC because of the responsiveness, clear communication and attention to detail that Aaron and his team showed during not only our initial meetings, but also throughout the project. The AGC bid was definitely not the lowest but after viewing a few of their completed and in-progress projects, we were pleased with the quality of workmanship and decided to move forward. Work commenced in early March 2020, but we were forced to pause almost immediately for a couple of months due to shutdown of non-essential services as a result of the beginning of the pandemic. During those months of downtime, AGC still worked actively on our project by helping us work with their subcontractors (excellent cabinet maker, electrician, and others) to fine tune details (e.g. shop drawings for cabinetry) so that work could commence after the lockdown was lifted. The AGC project manager was beyond excellent. He was onsite almost daily, managed subcontractors in a timely and efficient manner, accommodated change orders and other additions to the project scope, and even responded to emails on the weekend! Plus, like Aaron and other members of his team, the project manager was incredibly polite, friendly and professional at all times. Like AGC itself, the subs that AGC brought in were top-notch. Bartlett Cabinets, for example, worked with our interior designed to construct numerous pieces of built-in cabinetry that were complex and of varied materials and hardware. Each completed piece was installed expertly. I could go on, but suffice it to say that if you are looking for high quality and efficiency, AGC is worth considering. If we have projects in the future, AGC will be the first contractor we contact! read more

I do not doubt that Aaron Gordon Construction does good work, and there is certainly a place for luxury contracting services, but I was left somewhat baffled by the quote I got for 500 square feet of tile installation in a one-bedroom apartment. I called several of the highest-rated contractors on Yelp and received estimates ranging from $4000-$6000 (labor only; no materials). The quote I received from Aaron Gordon was $30,250. Yes, over five times higher than the highest estimate I received from other listed contractors; $5000 more than the price of my car; more than some people I know make in a year... and the tile itself isn't even included. I used Homewyse to estimate the price of such service in my zip code and the total cost they provided ranged from $3,760-$5,545. I was taken aback (thought maybe the comma had sneaked over to the right), so I followed up and he told me that the other estimates were unusually low. I'm going to give this company the benefit of the doubt and assume their skills are so great it warrants the price (like maybe gemstones are inlayed secretly into everything), rather than him having given me an overinflated estimate because they were too busy to work on my place... Even so, wow. The price differential is far too high. UPDATE: Reading John L.'s review, I'm now insulted at having been given an inflated price. I'd much rather they told me my place wasn't worth their time. read more

I have a home into which I have put over $4 million in renovations over the past quarter century. That's about $1 million more than the house is worth, but the journey has been worth the price. Through the years, I have engaged numerous contractors to do a variety of projects: plumbing, electrical, framing, roofing, flooring, windows, HVAC, etc. I have become completely familiar with disappointment. When I decided to do my last project, a neighbor suggested contacting Aaron Gordon Construction for an estimate. I followed my neighbor's advice and was at first taken back by the price, but learned quickly that I was dealing with a whole different class of operations. My house is filled with custom cabinetry built in my own basement shop. AGC came in, covered all the floors, wrapped all the cabinets, and padded all the doorways and archways. Every day, every scrap of debris vanished before the last person left the job site. During the $70,000+ project, rot and other forms of damage were uncovered that had been created by the less expensive firms I had employed over the past 27 years. All of that got exposed, pointed out to me, and corrected on the fly. The result was the most professional project I have ever witnessed among the 30+ contractors who have flowed through my place since I bought it in 1987. Going forward, AGC is who I will be calling to help me continue squandering money on my never-ending pet project. They are already preparing bids on two new projects. read more

Aaron Gordon sets the platinum standard for contractors. As new homeowners, my husband and I were newbies to the whole contractor thing, and Aaron exhibited the utmost patience (regarding the TONS of questions that we asked) and professionalism throughout the whole process. He's honest, reliable and does a great job of strategizing how to best tackle a project; you can tell his approach is well thought out from the start. The thing we especially appreciated about Aaron was his responsiveness. I've heard horror stories about flaky, unresponsive contractors - Aaron is certainly not one of them. Left him a voicemail? He'll typically call you back within 10 minutes. Sent him an e-mail? Expect a response sometimes within minutes. This guy is super on top of his game. Our particular project entailed redoing our deck and railings, as well as some work on the back wall of our house. The various workers he brought in for the job were all terrific - very attentive when it came to the details and all very friendly and approachable if you had any questions or concerns. Aaron himself was also visible throughout the whole process - stopping by every few days to check in and being on-site for both of the inspections to address any questions from the building inspector. He fully embraces the core of good client management: he's a busy guy, but in every dealing with him, Aaron has a way of making you feel like you're his most important client. We did admittedly have one hiccup in the process...the original guys working on the deck got called on to another job and work stopped briefly. (As many projects seem to go, what we thought was going to be a quick, couple-of-day project mushroomed into a much larger one spanning more than a month - definitely a far cry from the original scope of work and initial time estimate to complete the job!) However, the ever-resourceful Aaron addressed it with aplomb and brought in a new set of workers who were just as good if not better than the first ones and who pushed hard to get things done in a timely manner. The final result was a beautiful new deck that exceeded our expectations. I couldn't imagine a better contractor to work with as an intro to "construction management," as I call it. Rest assured that when you're working with Aaron, you're in great hands. read more

Recently had the need to solicit Aaron's services again and was reminded of how nice it is to work with a true professional. I am upgrading my rating since not only does Aaron and his team deserve it, but stacked up against the other contractors I've had to deal with since our first engagement, I now appreciate him even more. Strongly recommend this company. read more

Aaron led a very large project (10-weeks) to fully replace the siding on our 4-storey house. It was a monumental task and we were frightened about the massive expense and getting the right contractor for the job. Aaron and his team did an absolutely superb job right from the very start. Specifically: 1) Aaron was extremely professional and responsive during the estimating process and was always upfront about the project costs and dependencies and worked very collaboratively with us to define the total scope of the project. I have never seen a contractor do this well... and Aaron did it incredibly well! He came over multiple times and really explored the entire exterior of the home to ensure he sized the project appropriately. His estimate was absolutely spot on. 2) Aaron engaged multiple crews to do the project so that it was done as efficiently as possible. His foremen were excellent and the entire crew was incredibly courteous and professional. They literally cleaned up everyone on the outside of the house and in our garage every single day after work... for 10 straight weeks!! I have never known a contractor do keep things clean and tidy every day of the job. 3) Aaron communicated frequently with us to give us status updates and kept us in the loop the entire time. We never had to ask him for an update... he just proactively gave us updates and this was extremely helpful. 4) Aaron actually came over multiple times throughout the course of the project to check on the quality of the work himself and ensure that things are going well. He did not just defer to his foreman to manage the project. This is quite unique because the contractors who are primarily small business owners usually just do the estimate and disappear. However, Aaron did not do that and stayed involved the entire time! 5) The quality of the work Aaron and his crew did was absolutely fantastic. They were extremely focused on details and were meticulous in their approach to fixing the issues with the siding. It was really important to ensure we never had the issues with water damage again and Aaron and his team worked tirelessly to truly find every problem and resolve the issue with the best quality. His team even re-did some of the work when they felt it was not perfect... this just blew me away that they were so particular about every detail. 6) Aaron did a great job estimating the work because he finished the entire project on time and within the budget we agreed to upfront. This is very hard to do when considering a 10-week project that cost a significant amount. I truly appreciated the fact that Aaron really knew what he was doing and stuck to the contract as we had agreed to it upfront. 7) Aaron also did an amazing job cleaning all the windows, the ground, etc. after the project was completed and our house felt like it was new! We again have never seen a contractor do anything like this! Overall, we went into this quite scared given the significant damage to our siding... but Aaron put our mind at ease and constantly exceeded our expectations throughout the project. We would highly recommend Aaron and his crew to anyone.. and we will be happy to provide a phone reference if required (or you can come see our home in Noe Valley if you want to see the final outcome of the project - completed in October 2011). read more

Aaron and his crew rebuilt a rotted out back stairway. I work in the south bay, and can seldom be around my home in the city during working hours. Aaron was accommodating, punctual, and he quickly and accurately took stock of what I wanted and how I needed it done. Because I'm not around, he had to pull permits, manage inspections, and without me around to consult day-to-day like many contractors I've worked with. Once the stairway was removed, he and his crew found rot that had spread into the corner support of the building. They found efficient and cost-effective ways to make sure the rot was eliminated at only a minor increase in cost. The was a minimum of impact, things were cleaned up each night and when they were done there was no sign a construction crew had been there! As the son of a civil engineer, I've grown up around construction work. Aaron's work as world class. I recommend him without reservation. read more

Mr. Gordon completed a project 6 years ago on one of my properties in the City; he's shown up to handle any and all of the details that followed for the past 6 years. I really couldn't have asked for better service from a general contractor. The scope of the project was 250K, and I continued to live in the property during all of the construction; Aaron was professional, considerate, and time conscious. He showed up each day on time, and completed each days work by cleaning everything: perfect. The work included: tear-down, re-foundation, shear wall/earthquake preparedness, deck, landscape development, drip system, major bedroom and bathroom work, radiant heat installed, bamboo floor installation, soaking tub, 9 foot glass wall, sunken tub, and floor to ceiling granite slabs, all the lighting fixtures, and a inlaid soffit. The work can be seen on his website. read more

I want to recommend Aaron Gordon Construction. He is a true professional who surrounds himself with like minded professionals. It is a pleasure having Aaron and his team in my home. I am an interior designer and chose Aaron to remodel my bathroom/ guest bedroom and it was obvious that he takes his craft seriously. I have worked with many contractors in my line of work and rate him among the top in his field. I can't say that about all of the contractors I have worked with. Some of the important details to me: He kept me abreast of costs with projections, he was on time, his crew was respectful and respectable, he returns calls promptly, he gave me change orders before the work proceeded, the project was always clean at the end of the day and he always answered my questions with interest and respect. Aaron Gordon is NOT your average contractor. I wholeheartedly can recommend him read more

Aaron Gordon Construction just completed a major remodel for us, and the entire process from start-to-finish far exceeded our expectations. Aaron and his crew (including his sub-contractors) all maintained a high-level of professionalism, punctuality, and cleanliness throughout the scope of our project. Their attention to detail is a testament to the passion they bring to the job, no matter how big or small. This puts them in a category well above most other craftspeople. They are real artists, and that is a rare thing to find these days. More important than anything stated above, AGC excels at one thing that makes all the difference in the world: communication. They were always prompt in their replies to our questions and took as long as we needed to explain the answers in full-detail, without skipping a thing. Aaron and Chad (and everyone else on their crew for that matter) turned our experience into something my wife and I never expected when we set out to find a contractor: they made it an education into their trade. That's how thorough they are in their explanations in as far as we wanted to know about any aspect of the job. They understand that this level of communication is the key to having happy clients and I can't stress what a difference it made for making our remodeling a truly happy experience. Not only would we hire them again for our next home-improvement job, we can honestly say that we are looking forward to it. We are going to miss having them around. And now, we can say with full confidence that our house is the best-looking house on the block! :) read more

Although I can not yet comment on AGC's work, I can say that their service is great. Aaron spent a lot of time talking to me about my plans, answering many questions, and providing referrals without any commitment to hire their firm. I think this is a great sign of their desire to build long-term relationships with their customers based on strong service and trust. read more

Aaron re-vamped the bathroom in my condo, and he is amazing:on time, and fair in his billing-practices. He is a master craftsman, and is precise in everything he does. He cleans up after himself, and does his very best to minimize the disruption that such a project sometimes entails. Thanks to Aaron, my once depressing loo is now a pleasure to behold...efficient use of the space, and the "fit and finish" is perfect. Next....on to the kitchen!! My ex-boss/now friend recommended Aaron, and it's the best clue he ever gave me! So, thanks, Aaron!! read more

My wife and I recently bought a small home in SF and needed more than just a contractor to do some work, we needed someone to help guide us through the whole process of selecting the best products for the job and our space. Aaron was even kind enough to go with us to a few tile and design places to make sure we were buying the best quality products and were exposed to all the possible options available to us. His advice is invaluable, and the best part is, he was always realistic about what type of job can be done within your budget. I never got the feeling that he was trying to take short-cuts or sell me into something expensive. His recommendations are thoughtful, well-meaning, and honest. We spent weeks and weeks deliberating on certain aspects of our bathroom re-model, and if we had consulted Aaron earlier in the process it would have saved us a lot of time. There are tons of contractors and construction people out there. We did the research on a lot of them and not only is Aaron first rate, but he's very easy going and professional. We're going to absolutely use him again. Home re-models and construction work is super stressful and having a contractor that delivers on every aspect of the job (and then some) is a huge relief. read more

Our firm, Gast Architects, has worked with Aaron Gordon Construction on about half a dozen projects, from moderate scale renovations to high-end, very detailed projects. We think of AGC as friendly collaborators who understand that clear communication with the owner and architect is critical to a successful project. We appreciate Aaron Gordon's emphasis on assigning top quality on-site supervisors who are empowered to coordinate all aspects of the work. We easily perceive a culture of trust that positively affects interactions with clients, design teams, and subcontractors. Their deep concern that the owner will be pleased with the final product reveals itself in a can-do attitude on site and making timely requests for information from the design team and client so they can do the job right. We look forward to our next project with them! read more

I recently discovered how professional, trustworthy, and dependable Aaron is -- and I'm not even working with him. He came to look at a very problematic leak in my ceiling, and although he noted the severity of the situation, he also gave me advice that will save me tens of thousands of dollars. He informed me of legal issues that mean that the person who completed the job is actually responsible for the work, and that the cost should not come out of my wallet. As a first-time home-owner, this was news to me. While this means taking a different approach, I deeply appreciate that rather than simply writing me an expensive bid, Aaron informed me of my rights and steered me to someone who can help me navigate the situation in a much more cost-effective way. If I do need someone to fix this, or any building-related situation, I will certainly call Aaron. read more

I called today to get a quote on replacing windows, a job which should cost in the range of $4k-$6k. A guy named Joro answered said he was driving. He asked if he could call me back when he wasn't. I said, "Sure." Two hours later, he called back. When I began to give him my information, he interrupted me and said that he would charge me $275 to come and give me an estimate. He asked me if I was okay with that, explaining "We want to make sure that we're paid for the time we have to spend going out to give estimates." "No thank you," I replied, "I'll call some other contractors." If a company is not interested in smaller jobs, which I assume is the case with this company, it should just come out and say so. I'm quite sure this company was planning to pocket my money by giving me an exaggeratedly expensive estimate that it knows the I will reject. I looked at some of the public info on the permits they have gotten for their jobs and they were extraordinary, as expensive as a whole house in some other areas (like, $80k-100k or more), so I am pretty sure Aaron Gordon doesn't want to bother taking on my project for a piddling 4-6 thousand dollars. If this reflects the new culture of business, we are in trouble. Fortunately, I don't think it does. This is a company ruined by its own success in a gold-plated, inflated, overpriced economy. read more

After living 21 months in a rental during a major home remodel a few years back, I know contractors. Aaron Gordon built a hillside deck to replace what had been the backyard of our house prior to adding on. I can only say that I wish I had known of Aaron before we started our original remodel. I would have chosen him to do it. Aaron started the project within a week after his bid, which I found to be very reasonable. We decided to use Trex for the deck's construction. He called from Sierra Point Lumber (a great yard, BTW) to inform me that Trex also made all the materials we would need to complete construction except for the pressure-treated joists. He also e-mailed me a web page so I could check out an idea he had to use tempered-glass panels instead of wooden ballisters to preserve our view. He was prompt every morning and even called to say that he would be late one day, which was because he was picking up the materials at the yard. He informed me each day when he and his helper were going to lunch. He cleaned up each day and finished the project when he said he would. The only delay we had was waiting for the glass to be custom cut and called me daily to keep me abreast of the situation. He sets out his payment schedule and sticks to it. He told me at the beginning that if he completed the job for less than his bid, he would honor that, and you know what? HE DID!! His final bill was $600 less than his original bid. This gentleman is polite, prompt, talented and honorable, a real gem. Call him. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Doug A. Daly City read more

I have had the immense pleasure of working with Aaron Gordon Construction both indirectly and directly. I was first introduced to this company when the co-owners of my building had their kitchen remodeled. Both of our kitchens were in dire need of an upgrade but my co-owner's time frame was a bit ahead of mine. When construction began upstairs, I was amazed by the respectfulness and professionalism of this company's employees. They are very conscious of working hours and private space and if I brought up any problem, they addressed it instantly. There was one issue where a trash bin they were using had started to come apart and mildly impeded access to the backyard. I casually mentioned this to one of the workers and in the time it took me to gather my things, they had complete resolved the problem, and they were not even working for me! It may seem like a minor thing, but it really underscores just how professional these people are. My co-owner's remodel was astonishing (see review below), and when the time came to remodel my kitchen, there was no question who I wanted to design and build it. I hired them on first consultation and from the beginning was utterly impressed by their knowledge and experience. My wife and I tend to shoot for the moon and want to have it all, and Bill and Rebecca were very accommodating to all of our desires, only stepping in to tell us what we wanted was impractical when there was no other option. When the estimate for our proposed kitchen exceeded our budget (which we expected given our desires), they were accommodating in helping us cut back in areas that weren't as important and even went over and above at their own cost to give us what we wanted. Their cabinet installer, Senad, is top notch! I know my San Francisco home is completely out of alignment and nothing lines up. Yet he made my high-end cabinets fit like a glove! He's amazing. We couldn't be happier with how our kitchen turned out. It is gorgeous, unique, and exactly a reflection of our personal tastes. I simply cannot add enough superlative to how spectacular a job they did and how pleasant they are to work with. I would recommend them in a heartbeat! read more

In 2014 we moved into an 1890 Victorian third floor condominium that had previously been totally renovated by Aaron Gordon Construction. The renovation was incredibly beautiful as well as meticulous in every detail. Over the last six years we have had some minor problems and every time we called Aaron he sent someone out to correct the problems. Most recently we had a problem with one of the large windows, and Aaron came out himself and fixed the problem. So in addition to doing top quality renovations, Aaron and his company stand behind their work. We feel so fortunate to live in this amazingly beautiful condominium. We are still wowed with this amazing renovation six years later! read more

Just completed Phase I of working with Aaron and his company and we are happily moving to Phase II, a legal in-law addition. Phase I was a back deck replacement and kitchen expansion. Aaron is forthright and honest and just a pleasure to work with. His crew is uniformly professional, punctual, good about cleaning up. They also do high-quality work--we are so pleased with the result. They've been in and around our house for several months now and as much as that is disruptive, they have been great and have gone the extra mile to keep everything clean and picked up, and to be really pleasant as we stepped around each other. We also appreciate the attention to detail; nothing has fallen off the list, and they've come back to fix details in the latter stages. Great pride in the work and really nice people. Our neighbors, who had some direct interactions with AGC due to scaffolding, access to their yard to paint the side of our house, clothesline issues, etc. said the same thing. Great people. Professionalism, respect, punctuality, quality--really can't say enough. A word about pricing. Aaron doesn't do bargain-basement bidding, but he does do honest bidding. The work is quality, and he has a great crew of skilled workers. You get what you pay for! Important to note too that all the work has come in within the original budget, except for those items that we decided to upgrade or add on to the project--plus a bit of repair work due water/weather damage that the crew uncovered and needed to get done. There is no bait and switch with Aaron, no scamming. Every change, including the repair, has been presented clearly and with several options or approaches from least expensive band-aid approach to higher end long-term fix. Billing and communication were also clear throughout. It is a pleasure to do business with this company. read more

Hey, He's a pro. I'd recommend him. After reading all his reviews on Yelp I thought I'd have a try. I'm not so sure all the reviews are reflective of how I feel but he did a pretty good job. I asked a lot of questions and got okay answers. He's still pretty good at what he does. read more

I contacted Aaron Gordon Construction in February 2016 regarding a kitchen remodel. I promptly heard back from 415 Remodeling, their sister company, as a better fit for the job requirements. I appreciated the prompt communication and referral to a more appropriate service - which worked out beautifully! read more

Called for a quote. Got cold polite reply "Your job is too small - we are booked fully and have no interest in you business" BTW: Just read other review for the company and it looks like I'm not the only one who got rejected by this contractor. Not sure if I would trust big project to contractor based on 5 star reviews left by people he selected to work with. read more

Last year, my wife and I decided to have our kitchen and master bathroom remodeled. Since neither of us have ever had any experience in any sort of remodel or home improvement, we decided to search out a contractor on Yelp and use the reviews of other people to help us pick out a good one. That is when we came across Aaron Gordon Construction. Sure we also called a few other companies but after Aaron responded to my call immediately and speaking to him, I knew his company was going to be the one we would use. Everything written about Aaron, his crew and his company on Yelp, are true. My wife and I were very nervous as this was a big project for us and after meeting with Aaron, we were immediately put at ease. He walked us through everything we would need from a-z and was very professional. He and his crew know their stuff and their work was spectacular. They were prompt, efficient and the quality was way beyond what my wife and I had ever expected. The project went flawlessly and without complaint from any of my neighbors. Everything written about how clean they were couldn't be more right on. They showed up, worked around us and when they left, it was as if they were never there. Spotless! I've raved on long enough and if you couldn't tell already, I would recommend Aaron and Aaron Gordon Construction to anyone that needs a contractor and is planning any sort of home improvement. You can't go wrong with this contractor and know that what ever your expectations are of the remodel you want to do, Aaron and his crew will surpass them. read more

We just finished a four month renovation on our house and had an excellent experience with Aaron and his team. We interviewed most of the top contractors on Yelp and they were all professional and knowledgeable. What set Aaron apart was his approach to the project - he looked at the project strategically and gave really helpful counsel up front. We knew immediately that we could rely on his expertise in an area where we had none. Aaron is also super trustworthy and honest and his team is great. Everyone was really nice and they even worked around our little one's nap schedule for the last few weeks of the project which was tremendously appreciated. I totally recommend hiring Aaron if you care about your home and value high quality craftsmanship. read more

My partner and I did a remodel of our house, gutting the entire downstairs, waterproofing it and converting it to living space. After having a bad experience with another contractor, we were very wary about entering into another such relationship. Aaron was just the opposite - he was quick to respond and timed the job well so that something got accomplished every day. There was one item that turned out below our expectations and Aaron re-did the work immediately and without complaint. He was the most expensive contractor to bid on the job, but my partner and I felt the other two bidders were not realistic. Also, we needed good service and felt we got what we paid the extra for. Aaron got the job done on time and on budget. Okay, it was over budget, but that was because we kept adding stuff on to the original plan. And we were glad we did; he saved us a lot by fixing things before they became unusable. His foreman was courteous, competent and smart and the crew was as well. I recommend Aaron if you're looking for good work and good service. read more

I'm a new homeowner and when it became clear that I had some ugly dry rot problems in the back of the pantry I looked at Yelp and called Aaron. He came out the very next morning to look things over and patiently answer my millions of questions. (Okay - so actually I called a couple other contractors first who talked endlessly in circles without actually answering my questions and seemed to have that "look here, little lady" attitude. I can promise you I NEVER got even a hint of that from Aaron or anyone that worked for him). Four months later, when I was finally ready to bite the bullet and start the project, Aaron's team got to work. It turned out my little dry rot problem was actually a bigger issue of water leaking from a light well. In the end, they replaced framing and siding and re-roofed the light well as well as closing up the inside of the pantry and a couple other cosmetic projects I needed done. The work they did looks great! All the way through, Aaron and his team (Chad & Dustin in particular) were friendly, helpful and extremely patient with my endless questions.They were also incredibly careful and courteous in my home, leaving things cleaned up every day and being very conscientious about my pets. It was clear to me that this is a very busy company and that Aaron had a lot going on, but he always got back to me and addressed a couple little concerns at the end of the project very quickly. I couldn't ask for more. While I hope not to have anything else to fix for a long time, when I do Aaron will absolutely be my first call. read more

I left two messages with Aaron Gordton Construction regarding a bathroom and master closet project. No response both times. I understand they might be busy, but a response would have been nice. read more

I can't say enough good things about AAron Gordon Construction. They do a really excellent job for a very fair price. Aaron is a super trustworthy guy, a great communicator and just really fair in all his dealings. He has a really excellent team of experienced and engaged employees. I would definitely hire again and recommend without reservation. read more

Aaron just spent thirty minutes on the phone with me, asking questions and giving advice. At the end of it, he said he wasn't the right person and sent me elsewhere. HOWEVER, I'm so much smarter and more informed after that phone call. I would honestly have paid for the advice he just gave for free. If you are searching for a contractor, you should not be afraid to call him. He's super easy to talk to, honest, and gives great input. read more

Aaron and his crew worked on our downstairs den rebuilding entire walls and anchoring our new home. Aaron and Joro were very accommodating, punctual and just plain fun to work with. His crew acted on our behalf to pull permits, manage inspections, contract plumbers, painters, etc. I was/am fully confident of their judgement and moral work ethic. The workers/team cleaned up each night and updates were given throughout. Very appreciative and confident of Aaron Gordon Construction abilities!!! read more

I have done several large projects, ranging from $10,000 to $3M, (this one was $61,000 aka Unit 350) most of the time using General Contractors and I have never in my life finished a major project on-time OR on-budget - until now. I hired Aaron Gordon Construction based on their Yelp reviews, gotta-love-Yelp. For the first time ever, we finished this project On-Time AND Exactly On Budget! Since I have a lot of experience with Contractors, I made a long laundry list of all that I wanted done, with good specifics so there would be no confusion. I will take some small credit for the success of our project because of that. Still, there was no nickel-and-diming, no periods of time where nobody showed up (an absolute first for me), really no problems. There were some unforeseen issues, but some unforeseen savings here and there which AGC was happy to figure were a wash rather than riding me for change orders. Remarkably, I don't see where I paid a premium for AGC either. They were the lowest bidder of three. All three were substantial companies, however. I was not comparing AGC with "some guy" - only established, reputable companies, licensed, insured, well rated, etc. I am used to contractors bidding to get a job and then working to build margin through padded change-orders. AGC seemed to me to have no interest in creating work where it was not needed, like they really just wanted to get this done as-quoted, and lucky for me, there were no legitimate changes of scope needed either. Another first for me is how they left the job. In all cases in my past, the contractors left some damage, ranging from minor to serious, but usually in the middle where it was just easier for me to fix it myself than chase them down. AGC impressed me from the beginning by making a very big project of just protecting my property. They brought in all forms of protection for the floors, walls, etc., and not only that, but they cleaned the place at the end. Never had that before. I can actually say that this was the first remodel project where I actually enjoyed the process. When you are working with people who not only take pride in their work, but also take pride in bringing you value, it can actually be fun. I could relax and just enjoy the whole project. Unfortunately for me, 90% of my work is in the South Bay. Not sure when I will have another major project in SF, but when I do, you can bet AGC will top my list. read more

As I think is evidenced by many of his reviews, one of Aaron's best qualities is his ability to communicate. I have been working with him for the past couple of months on planning a bath remodel. Sadly, my situation has changed and I've had to unexpectedly pull the plug on the project so I wasn't able to witness Aaron's work first hand. But not only was he friendly and knowledgeable through the process thus far, he was gracious and understanding when I had to cancel. Hope to have reason to use him in the future. read more

Can't say enough great things about Aaron Gordon Construction. I have hired AGC for several projects in my home and business. The home projects have ranged from basic around the house handy man work including putting together a furniture shopping spree madness which took Dustin a mere four hours to make the boxes in my hallway turn into bookcases (s), dressers(2), crib. This would have been an agonizing nearly week long project for my husband and I together. Dustin moved the furniture where I wanted it placed...changing my mind a couple(+) times. The contracted business projects have included building a stage, wiring electrical panels and installing new plugs, building a new sound booth, repairing a walk in refrigerator, paining. Prior to opening our business doors Aaron walked through all inspector visits ensuring construction met code standards. All contracted projects were completed in a timely manner with no extras. Aaron diligently worked with my partners and I finding materials for the jobs at best value. Aaron communicated clearly what each project entailed (materials, cost, labor hours) meeting all his estimates on target. I highly recommend Aaron Gordon Construction. Their work is skilled craftsmanship, resourceful, efficient and competitively priced. Finding a good contractor is like finding a good mechanic....you want good quality work without having to be overestimated or useless extras. read more

All the good things others say are true - high-quality work, professionalism, punctuality, cleanliness, candor, helpfulness, and good taste - to which I can add: [1] If you have an unusual job (getting a twisted little room "squared" to high accuracy in preparation for built-ins, this being more difficult than it may seem), AGC is up for it. [2] If you mean to collaborate, rather than just hand your job over to a general contractor (I was to be the designer, I had a guy to do demolition & dust control, and I wanted to work directly with the cabinetmaker), AGC plays well with others. read more

I am a San Francisco architect with over 30 years experience and I work with many different contractors. I get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly. Aaron Gordon turned out to be one of the good ones. The price to do the job was reasonable, the work was conducted and a professional manner, and the change orders were requested in situations where they were obviously warranted. He went out of his way to make things work when some hidden structural issues came to light in the middle of the project. I would not hesitate to recommend Aaron's company. He does excellent work and is an honest contractor. read more

Wow. So nice to have found an outfit that is honest and did great work within the amount of time alloted. We are so happy with the work Aaron and Joro did for us on our kitchen. It is exactly what we wanted! I was particularly impressed how they didn't leave a great big mess for us to have to live around for days on end while the work was being done AND they took great care protecting our home/furnishings during the process. Thank you for the awesome job! read more
