Josh is a great salesman and my confidence was never higher in his team's work than when he was around. At the end of the day, I am really happy with the quality of 90% of the work, which is why I'm giving 4 stars. I think underlying Covid-related problems caused most of the grief in our 2021 kitchen remodel: supply chain issues & illnesses causing delays that chain-reacted to stretch a 3-month timeline to 6 months, plus Josh's workload was double of normal with the same number of subs because all his 2020 jobs had been paused and came back ready to resume earlier than expected. I was accordingly understanding, but I still felt like we often got deprioritized as clients-- maybe because I wasn't calling to yell at him, like I overheard once. I almost tried to pitch my project management services to help him manage! We also had a stickler inspector who asked us to expand the scope of the initial project beyond what we budgeted or that Josh wanted to make time for (to rewire the rest of the house vs. just the kitchen). Despite (or because of) these external problems, Josh struggled with managing our expectations/communications. He knew we were first-time renovators who don't know when to ask questions vs. wait to see how it turns out. I am also a project manager in another field, so I love context and details. He seemed defensive and frustrated with us at times despite us trying to be as patient as we could be. I'm sure we weren't perfect clients, but we were trying to be really easygoing about it. Quality-wise: I love just about everything but the paint, which was sloppy in many places and in some cases peeled less than a year later (I suspect it wasn't sanded/prepped properly). I was also disappointed in the visual execution of the plumbing (it works fine), which Josh told me would not be plumbed on the exterior of the house, but was anyway. Plumbers also forgot to add an exterior water spigot but after the 3rd reminder, I gave up. The "construction cleaners" Josh hired to wrap did an okay first-pass on the dust and small debris, but it wasn't really livable until I did my own second pass, then hired another cleaner to do a third-pass deep clean. We also made the classic first-timer mistake of sending the final check before the last punch-list was ever complete. For a few months Josh kept saying "oh yeah I'll be by to take care of that next week" until we gave up and DIY'd a few finishing details and got rid of stuff the crew left behind. None of it was too complicated and it doesn't kill us to practice these skills: quarter round moulding for one wall of the floor, a couple gaps to close between cabinet and wall, capping the old sink pipe, caulking the sink fixtures, and paint touchups throughout. I hope I *never* need to do this extensive of a remodel again (at least not while I'm living in the guest room downstairs!). But if I do, because of the overall quality I would give Josh the benefit of the doubt on those extenuating circumstances. read more

Although we move forward with a different contractor, Josh provided competitive and quick quotes. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and personable; wouldn't hesitate to hire for future projects. read more

I recently decided to open up my own Hair Salon studio in Marin and used Josh with Beyond the Horizon for my build out! Josh and his builder were incredible! They made sure to help me bring my salon dreams to life! They moved plumbing, installed cabinetry, countertops, sinks and tile! It's absolutely gorgeous and I am so happy! Would highly recommend! read more

Beyond the Horizon Construction - General Contractors Near Me

We needed to do a major remodel of our home in San Francisco and Josh has been fantastic to work with. He is super detailed, thorough, helpful with defining the scope and he comes up with great ideas. We received several quotes and he was really well priced (he beat 3 other general contractors by a lot, saving us tons of money). Thank you Josh! read more

We got bids from several contractors but Beyond The horizon Construction was the most thorough and comprehensive in their walkthrough and confident/thoughtful in their answers to our various questions. Work we had done: -- repaired our driveway -- fixed leaky roof -- installed two openable skylights -- replaced bathroom window -- built beautiful wooden stairs on side of the house -- moved water heater in the garage -- moved subpanel -- minor rewiring and electrical fixes in our crawl space -- installed sensor light at side of the house -- installed tempered glass for picture windows The work on all of these things was consistently high quality and they provided excellent customer service throughout the process. We are new to renovations and when we got tripped up by contract details, they went above and beyond to honor our original verbal agreements. They were very clear about any change orders and were patient to answer questions. Additionally, their craftsmanship is aesthetically pleasing. The stairs on the side of our house are beautifully built, and the framing for the windows are gorgeous. They discovered that some of the wood framing around the picture windows needed to be replaced -- they were able to repair it and paint it to make it look like new. We felt completely comfortable providing their crew with keys to our home -- they came and went with no problems which made it easier since we usually don't get home until late in the day. I wish I can give more then 5 star........... Was this review ...? read more

If you hate your neighbors, hire Beyond the Horizon Construction! I am a next door neighbor to a project they are doing and here are examples of what I am dealing with as the project isn't over... Workmen park in my driveway frequently, even though they have been asked not to and when asked to move they cursed at me. Team left a compressor running all night, for those that don't know what that means, this compressor cycles on ever 7 minutes and keeps you awake. Team has left the street and our property dirty and is very slow to clean up. They cut and undermined the concrete in my side entrance (fire escape) and delayed in doing anything to fix it, even through they were asked repeatedly, until I engaged the city who filed a violation which required them to fix it in 7 days. When I didn't answer the door one day as I was on a conference call they climbed down into my entrance (trespassing). Do yourself and your neighbors a favor and pass on this firm. read more

I ended up going with another contractor, but I wanted to leave a positive review because Josh was pleasant and professional through several iterations of my building plans, and upfront about everything. I will definitely consider him for other jobs in the future. read more

Overall, we were very happy with the service we received from Beyond the Horizon Construction - we did a big house remodel - and we will use this company again for any new project. Our project was a very extensive one, all the way to the studs. They added a full floor, dug the garage, built massive retaining walls, installed windows, new roof, wood floors, stairs structures, electrical, etc. Josh led the whole project, he was very solution oriented, dealt with challenging planning requirements, and drove for result. We felt we could talk freely, exchange views, etc. 90% of the project was done in 9 months and we were back in our house in a very reasonable time (many of our friends, with similar scope, were out of their house for over a year.) Josh has his own crew for most of the activities, which helps with timings. He also works with very reliable subs for specific parts of the project. We were impressed by the quality of the foundation work, well thought framing / structural work, excellent drywall / mud work and final painting. While this company may not be on the cheaper side, Josh always worked with our budgets and presented options that we could choose from and that allowed to make some savings. Over the many months we interacted, I believe we develop a very good relationship :). read more

Do yourself a favor and skip on this contractor. Joshua was great up front, but after we paid over 95% in advance (Big Mistake!) it was very difficult to schedule the rest of the work. We had to complain to our agent, who recommended him to us, before he would return our calls. It took him 3 months to come out and finish a shower and closet modification in our master bedroom. He complained about us pointing out mistakes and said it was unfair to his company to fix them. Now he is trying to charge us extra to fix work that is unfinished and on the original quote (already paid for) as well as for materials to fix damages that his workers caused to our bathroom vanity. My wife and I also spent many hours touching up his work on drywall (lots if pockmarks) and smoothing out everything else that looked rugged. Is one star the lowest? read more

All I can say is that I have had a number of dealings with Joshua over the years and have found him to be both conscientious and skilled. i would trust him with just about any job. As for Mr. JC J's review, I can only say he must be delusional, dishonest, and have an axe to grind. Not only does Mr. JC J not have the ability to spell, but he lied about Mr. Roofener not having a contractor's license (#944177). read more

I was referred to Joshua Roofener from a plumber who had to tear up the bathroom to fix leaky pipes. I've been in the Real Estate business for 10 years in San Francisco and have a list of a dozen contractors/handymen, but I let the plumber bring in Joshua to save time. I'm so glad I did, as now I have a new contractor at the top of my list! Before I refer a client to a contractor, I always ask them this question: "1. Do you want an exceptional job, 2. done in a timely manner or 3. not too expensive --- pick 2 of the 3. At last I found a contractor that can do all 3!!! He is extremley conscientious of the homeowners' time and budget, and did a great repair job and clean up. He stuck to his price even though the job turned out to be opening "Pandora's box." There was much more rot behind the shower than any of us expected. We hope to do a major renovation later this year on our 98 year old house, and hope Joshua will do it. He shared great ideas that work with my home, understands we're on a tight budget, and he has a great understanding of working with the SF Planning Department. I trust he will be efficient and do a great job. It's always a pleasure to work with people who are both good at what they do and pleasant to have in your home. read more

Beyond the Horizon Construction has completed several projects on our 1927 Edwardian style home in San Francisco and the reason I went back four times is because the owner is fast, creative,a good communicator, very professional, has tons of varied experience and is always pleasant to work with. We are about to do three more mid-sized projects and this company was the first one I thought of. They did a basement update using materials we already owned, making the job inexpensive. They did a seamless closet remodel that makes it look as though the work was done at the time the house was built, and they did a set of stairs to the back yard plus a fence that look great and are weathering very well. Great daily cleanup too! read more

Josh was great. His price was good, his workmanship was excellent, he was on time and reliable. He worked around a sickness that we had inthe family. I would highly recommend him. read more

Joshua has been incredibly friendly, straight forward and efficient. He has come to maintain a property we are currently renting, in which he was also the remodeler. We were the first occupants and have been thrilled with the work that was done before we moved in. Only a few minor issues have needed service and Josh was right on top of it. Call, schedule an appointment and he's right out. Great work, nice guy! read more

After interviewing four contractors, Beyond the Horizon Construction was easily my first choice. Josh really delivered - in every way possible. His crew was great - skilled, pleasant, on time, and checked in with me if they had a question. We started with the remodel of two bathrooms. After talking with Josh, he was ready to work with me on updating other rooms and when we found big issues (foundation) he knew exactly what to do and now our house is not only more beautiful - it also is secure, water tight, and energy effecient with new windows and insulation. Josh is also willing to help cut costs without sacrificing looks or strength integrity. I found old vanities and his crew cut out the top for the new sink; I painted everything white and it's gorgeous - he helped me save over a thousand dollars. His electrician and tile specialist are multi-faceted; they have skills that reach beyond electrical and tile. They always said good-bye to me when they left and locked up each night. I could not be happier with the end result. As for payment, Josh requested exactly what I would have expected - installments were paid as the work was completed with the final payment coming when the work was totally completed and all inspections were passed. Don't pay attention to Jon S. - not sure what is going on there, but Josh is conscientious, skilled, truly wants his customers to be happy with the work and will redo something to make it right. He has been remarkably responsive to my requests, timeframe, and questions. He returns my texts, often within minutes. This company is the full package and I would hire him again in a heartbeat. I've already recommended him to several friends and will continue to do so. read more
