Andy is the only exception with a reasonable price. Even though the project seemed simple but there were several unforeseen issues during the construction.

Laminate and linoleum flooring, baseboards, drywall, blistered paint, kitchen cabinets, and soaked acoustical ceiling tiles had to be replaced. One contractor gave an estimate that was accepted by the insurance company, but then that contractor backed out, saying he was moving to Sacramento. Andy, head of Archeon, agreed to abide by the prior contractor's estimate. Although there were the usual delays and timing miscommunications common to every construction job, Andy and his team did an outstanding job, very high quality and within budget. His team also handled unexpected electrical and plumbing problems. They can do it all! I'm super happy with the results and highly recommend them for any size project.

I've had two projects done by Tim Garretson Construction and the results are wonderful and he…read moreactually exceeded my expectations. I already knew he had a great reputation (via personal referral from a former RWC building staffer). Tim and his crew are very professional, easy to work with, and the results are functional, beautiful, and they keep the areas they work in clean. They are also sensitive to environmental concerns in recycling and reusing wherever possible. I also really like that this is a family-run, local company and Tim in particular is extremely easy to communicate with. He is very good at following up, paying attention to detail, offering pertinent advice that helped me make better decisions and save money, etc. Everyone who has seen his work in my home admires it a lot and I would highly recommend him (I would definitely use him again for any future projects). P.S.: I also got great help from Rose Garretson on not only helping me select some beautiful tile and stone, but actually designing the look of my shower stall for a "customized" look and feel. My have complimented me on the workmanship and style.

We hired Tim based on his local reputation the first time, and hired Tim a second time based on the quality of work and professionalism we experienced 7 years prior. I would absolutlely recommend Garretson Construction to others in the area.

Michael and his crew did a 9 month project for us, building out our basement in the City. It was a…read moremajor residential job, and we lived upstairs throughout rather than to incur the additional expense of vacating. The job was finished at end of '22, and the final permit inspection has been accomplished. We are so grateful that we chose Keaveney Construction, and we have no hesitation whatsoever in giving them our heartiest review and recommendation. Although it wasn't our first home improvement project, it was our first in San Fran, and definitely our most involved and largest. Thank you Michael, Jimmy, Aiden, Boyce and the whole gang.

Michael is the guy you want to be managing your construction project. He is a great problem solver…read moreand I would trust him with every decision that has to be made, big or small. He cares so much about the finished product and he delivers on all his promises on time and on budget. He is extremely fair on any changes to the original plan, and of course there will me many of those! His team excels at great woodwork and he can come up with a solution to any obstacle. He has the network to get you the best price on foundation work, tile, cabinets, counters, and anything that will impact the cost of your project. He can handle anything and I would never build a house or remodel a room without his help. We did a full gut remodel, and he was onsite every single day making sure everything was done right the first time. He takes ownership of the entire process and he will never nickel and dime you on small stuff. He always takes the time to answer any question or strategy and he will literally never take the easy way out on a decision. He wants your house to be great and he will make it great! No project is too big for his team, they can do it all. One reviewer said they would trust his life, and I couldn't agree more! He really cares, he won't let you get screwed by anybody he interacts with (Best Buy, Locksmith's, Painters you name it!). We absolutely love our house, and you will too!

I don't normally leave negative reviews but this was the worst professional experience I've ever…read morehad in my life, and if I can keep even one person from having the same experience, it'll be worth it. The company did the classic thing of taking twice as long and costing twice as much as quoted but when they were done, the work was terrible too! The walls began cracking almost immediately and we had to have other contractors in to fix all the errors they made. Their people smoked on the job site (so, in our home) and whenever we would try and talk with company representatives, they would try and gaslight us into believing it was somehow our fault. I cannot say strongly enough that you should hire literally anybody else.

We had several projects...remove a fireplace, install a closet, install shelves, fix a wall, etc. Many of these items were extremely dusty although we barely noticed this thanks to the containment unit they installed and the diligence of the workers to remove their shoes. Tommy had a great crew working on our house and he checked in every morning and often every afternoon to make sure the project was progressing as expected and that the quality was high. On one occasion there was a small issue that came up due to a miscommunication and Tommy took care of it in a most professional manner. I highly recommend TNC Construction. We are pleased with the final product and will definitely look to use them again in the future.

I have been in this business since 1974 and have worked with contractors who range from cowboys with hammers to mega developes in Manila and the normal people in between. One assumes that if someone has a contractor's license you're going to get the finest quality work and that these workers are capable of doing whatever project they are hired to do. What elevates some contractors to a level above the rest is rational analysis of problems that may arise. The designer might be a tad dyslexic, the architect's draftsperson might inadvertantly err, materials might fall off the back of the truck, someone's toolbelt might accidently mar finished material - name your construction nightmare then analyze how the contractor reacts. Sean Kennedy never seems to derail. He takes a deep breath, discusses the options and resolves the issues, whatever they may be, in a mature, deliberate and calm manner. This is so important when you're working with a contractor. There are always surprises in renovation. Integrity should be this man's middle name. There is no blame, there is resolution and the end results are always at or above what the owner has expected. I can't tell you what a joy it is to work with Sean and his staff. They do what they're hired to do, in a timely manner, at the highest level of quality and for the amount of money that has been agreed to. This is what you expect from a contractor and this is consistently what you get from Sean Kennedy and Phollies. Hire these guys. You won't be sorry.

Josh is a great salesman and my confidence was never higher in his team's work than when he was…read morearound. 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.

My wife and I hired Jon-Michael based on these Yelp reviews and we're happy we did. My only regret…read moreis that I didn't have him supervise and hire all the other subs we needed for the work on our new house. He actually cares about the quality of the work being done and will offer suggestions about how to make it look and work the best. Jon-Michael remodeled our entire bathroom, which involved removing a closet in an adjacent room and expanding the bathroom into it, moving the shower and toilet to the opposite side of the room, installing a pocket door and installing all the plumbing and tiling. He removed and patched our fireplace so you'd never know it was there. Supervised the refinish of the hardwood floors and removal of the old insulation. Hired the electricians, pulled the permits and supervised the upgrade of all the electrical in our house from knob and tube to 2009 code. In short there's really nothing he can't do and if he can't I'm sure he's got a Sub who will do a great job. I could go on for pages about what I appreciated about working with Jon-Michael but to keep it short I think what makes him so good is he sees each job as an opportunity to create a relationship with the customer and he goes out of his way to do whatever it takes to form that relationship. We couldn't be happier and in the future Jon-MIchael will be the first call we make if we need any work done on our house.
