We recently hired Avid Construction to convert our seldom used garage to a living space. We started out by getting quotes from multiple companies prior to deciding on going with Avid for the project. We had a budget to stick to but also wanted someone who was going to do quality work. Not only was our decision made super easy because Avid's quote was the best price, but we were really excited about the vision the contractor (Eli) had for our project. We could tell from meeting with him that he takes great pride in the work that he does. It was refreshing to see someone who was so passionate about what they do. Based on our general idea of what we wanted the remodel to look like, Eli quickly drew up a plan, offered a quote, and went to work as soon as we signed on. Throughout the entire 6-week(ish) project, Eli always listened to what we wanted and gave us final say on everything but importantly wasn't afraid to chime in if we asked for advice or if he thought something wasn't going to work well. This was very helpful considering we have no experience in construction or interior design. We bought an older house that needed some TLC to begin with to say the least and so there were inevitably a few snags along the way including unexpected work to the gas and electrical lines. These were not originally included in our contract. However, whenever something came up he always wanted to show us in person what the problem was instead of us having him take his word for it. Not that I could always tell what was wrong by seeing it (lol), but I appreciated that he took the time to show us and explain everything. Just the inevitable when working on such an old house. He was always super responsive during the day (and evenings and weekends for that matter). It was really nice knowing we could always get a hold of him when we needed something. The one thing I will say is that like in any business transactions, make sure you go over what is and what isn't included in the contract at the onset. We asked them to do many projects for us in addition to the remodel because of how impressed we were with their customer service and attention to detail. Throughout the numerous projects, a few things I thought they were going to do ended up not being spelled out in the contract. Likely an oversight of mine (since it wasn't actually in the contract), but the only real critique i could think of. As long as you take care of that (as you should anyway when working with anyone) ahead of time you'll be fine. That aside, I will say the work itself is top notch. It was amazing how much they were able to accomplish in such a short time and everything looks amazing! They even swapped out the cheaper materials we requested with better ones when they had some leftovers from another project at no additional charge to us. It ended up saving us a ton of money and everything looks better than expected and ties in with the rest of the house so nicely. Moral of the story: if you want great work done at a good price with someone who takes a LOT of pride in what they do instead of just getting the job done quickly, go with Avid Construction. You won't be disappointed. read more

AVID is the real deal. From the planning stage to the final details they are professional and caring. We hired them to put in all new Milgard windows, a new hardwood floor throughout the house, and remodel the kitchen in our just purchased fixer-upper home where nothing had been updated since it was built in 1974. The windows are beautiful, the floor perfect, and the kitchen divine. Eli and saar Each one was a true professional who was perfectionistic about getting the details done right the first time. Carlos who does a lot of the hands-on work is a hard worker and very capable. Each worker is expected (and does) clean up the job-site at the end of each day and respects that this is our home, not just a work-site. AVID does not ask for money (other than a down payment) until each phase of the work is completed. Colleen , in their office, does a wonderful job of keeping track of payments made and due. Having never been through a kitchen renovation before, we didn't know what to expect. Eli and saar went out of their way to help us every step of the way. They are old-fashioned quality people who work hard and seem to enjoy what they do. We are so proud to show our friends and family the quality work that they did on our home. We wouldn't hesitate to call them back for the next project and already have recommend them to others. read more

We hired Saar and his staff for two complex structure jobs on our house as we were closing to sell it. The situation was very sensitive, with multiple parties involved, including structural engineers who had to certify the structural work for the sale. Saar navigated that minefield of people, complications and stress like an absolute professional. In addition, the work he and his team did was of the highest standards, clean, timely and Saar always made sure all parties were kept updated. Those few weeks during which the work took place were extremely difficult for our family, as we were also in the process of relocating to Europe. Throughout that period of time Saar was extremely accommodating and mindful of limiting any disruptions caused by the work. He even stayed with us and helped until the last item was moved out of the house. A great guy all around ! Saar also impressed this attitude on his whole team and they were all extremely professional. In short, if you are looking for a professional, honest, affordable and efficient contractor who will deliver work of the highest quality, look no further than Avid Construction. We've had experience with many contractors over the years and Avid ranks all the way at the top of the list. Thank you Saar for all your support. We wish you all the best for the future. read more

Avid Construction recently completed a complete remodel of our retirement beach cottage in Ocean Beach. Saar and his team did a fantastic job of completing exactly what my wife and I had envisioned for the improvements to the property. From getting us in touch with the architect and working with him to get the plans approved by the city and getting the permits all the way to t.he final inspection by city inspectors, Saar was there. The kitchen and bathrooms were completely gutted and all the plumbing and electrical was replaced, all new custom cabinets were installed by a custom cabinet maker working with Saar along with all new appliances. The living room and dining room hard wood floor was sanded and stained the covered in five coats of polyurethane. A heat pump system was installed to provide heating and air conditioning. The house was completely painted with all new Victorian baseboards and Crown Molding. We are very happy with what Saar accomplished for us, he sort of became one of the family for the four months we were together every day. We have just moved in and would be happy to recommend Saar to anyone who asks and even show you our place if needed. read more

Incredibly positive experience! Super professional with a perfectionist eye for detail. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. We hired Avid Construction to do a remodel in our newly purchased home. We removed a wall, replacing it with a load bearing beam, removed cabinets, painted the entire interior (walls, ceilings, doors, baseboards, etc), replaced lighting, fixed broken baseboards, fixed window shutters, updated flooring... you name it - we did it. This team was always super friendly, EXTREMELY attentive to details, always cleaned up after themselves, never smoked in or near our house (this is a big one for me) and they seemed to work around the clock (even on weekends if needed to complete within the time frame). In fact, despite us actually doubling the work mid-project - the Avid team only added 2 days to our timelines. TWO DAYS!! it was such a great experience working with them - I can't wait until we're ready to do the bathroom remodels so I can hire them again. read more

Avid Construction recently completed a multi-phase project at the home of a dear friend, Observing the work in progress, I was impressed by the quality of workmanship, the attention to detail and the end result of work that included laying a new wood floor in living room/dining room; stone floor in the kitchen; repairs to outdoor stucco; painting the entire ranch and installing new baseboards throughout; installing a new shower door, as well as other sundry repairs, some electrical. Saar, the owner, is knowledgeable, very accommodating and fair. His workman was likewise hardworking and pleasant. My friend could not be any happier with the result of Saar's work. Because of my friend's poor health, he made an extra effort to go above and beyond. Saar's prices were fair and I recommend him without reservation. read more

I just wanted to follow up on a review I made recently. I experienced what I thought was an issue with a unitized washer/dryer Saar and his folks installed. Frankly, I was not sure he would return to take a look at it--so many stories about contractors getting lost and moving on after the job is done. Well, I call him anyway. I was surprised to learn he asked if he could come out the next day and look at it. I was delighted. As it turned out, I found the issue (operator error) and told him he did not need to come back. But, I thought I'd let everyone know he was prepared to re-visit. That is something special and I thank him for that. Needless to say, If I need any more work, he will be the one I call. read more

I hired Avid Construction to remove a large closet space and completely remodel our downstairs bathroom and replace a bathtub with a large shower. Saar was on the job quickly with a quote, a contract which included dates and the times for progress payments which were very reasonable. Saar was very good to work with and I trusted his judgements and recommendations. When the project date for completion got behind he had a crew work over the weekend to get the project back on track. We couldn't be more satisfied with the completed bathroom. If we have another construction job I will hire Avid Construction to do it! Their price was fair and the workmanship was excellent! read more

Having worked in real estate, I have worked with a number of contractors and know when I am working with someone who knows the business and takes genuine pride in the quality of the work they're doing- and that certainly describes avid construction and their workers. read more
