It's rare to find a contractor you can rely on for two decades, but Fai at Level 8 Construction is…read moreexactly that! He's been my go-to guy for 20 years, tackling everything from a rental unit update to two complete home remodels. He even installed a hydronic floor heating system for me 13 years ago-and has helped me maintain it ever since. It's fantastic, energy-efficient, and keeps the floors so cozy. I really appreciate that Fai is always learning about new innovations to give the best advice for whatever I'm trying to do. He's totally upfront about his pricing and keeps me in the loop if anything needs to change. He's incredibly quick to respond and gets the work done fast without sacrificing quality. Fai is a true professional, and honestly, just the nicest guy you could hire.

We undertook a complete re-design of the bathroom, and rebuild of the kitchen going from gas to induction. Pat and his crew proved to be exceptional craftsmen who were consistently punctual, polite, clean, and communicative as we lived in our home while they did the work. On top of this the quality of the carpentry, cabinet install, plumbing, tile, electrical, and painting is all outstanding. Predictably for a house of this age, the project revealed several unexpected challenges. When these issues arose, Pat provided clear explanations of our choices and their consequences, allowing us to move forward with confidence. In addition to our stunning new spaces, the process allowed us to address hidden leaks, HVAC problems, and an electrical panel upgrade, ultimately leaving our home with much stronger infrastructure. In addition Pat and his team were super flexible and accommodating as we added in some additional work along the way. The entire project stayed within the time frame outlined in the proposal, even with the unexpected additional work. Pat is a super nice guy, be cool with him and you'll be delighted with the results. Our space has truly been transformed.

We recently completed a kitchen remodel and part of a house renovation with Dunros construction…read more Firstly, I want to say it's hard to find a contractor. We asked for several estimates and even that was difficult, as everyone had a different idea of what was even possible. But Pat from Dunros really stood out as someone who was polite, realistic, and flexible. We have only wonderful things to say about the experience. He was always creative in his solutions to our tricky kitchen/dining room renovation, which included removing a load-bearing wall. He managed to install beams below the floor that weren't there (as they should have been according to a previous renovation plan) when we opened up the floor. His team was always on time and courteous, and talking to the subcontractors (plumber, electrician, floor installation) you quickly understood they had been working together for years and had a great relationship. Pat is trustworthy and so is his team. He was very good about staying in budget and managing the twists and turns that come with any project. Another thing: our cabinet dealer was terrible, and Pat did everything to work around the problems and delays we had as a result of that bad choice. When we couldn't get replacement parts from the cabinet manufacturer in time, Pat managed to make the parts out of what we had and a lot of hard work. All this was so appreciated because we don't know what we would have done otherwise. I also want to say that Pat is a real perfectionist -- even more than we are, and it's our home he was working on! He always strived to make everything perfect, and a couple of times we had to tell him that we can't see the minor imperfection he noticed and tasked himself with fixing. Pricing was always fair and invoiced clearly. In some cases the amount ended up less than the estimate, which I have never seen before working with contractors.

Tom and Hammerhouse have been my go to for kitchens because of his dependability, honesty and quality of workmanship. He has the flexibility, know-how and skill to handle anything that comes up. He doesn't run from problems, he tackles them head-on until everyone is happy. Don't look any further. Call these guys right away.

Thom Buchanan-Hammerhouse was referred to us via Ecohaus where we purchased our bamboo flooring and…read moreeco-toilet/sink. We were very impressed with Thom's professionalism and experience from the onset. We also took comfort in knowing that he had years of experience working on turn of the century homes here in San Francisco. Adding in his being a green contractor only solidified our decision to move forward with Hammerhouse. We had some fairly aggressive timelines and a hard completion date we needed to meet--job absolutely needed to be wrapped up on the Wednesday prior to the weekend we were getting married. Thom and his crew worked with us to make smart decisions quickly to keep the project moving without any delays. As a result, fixtures and materials that we ordered arrived ahead of schedule. The collaborative working relationship we had with Thom also enabled us to include a stretch goal we had to completely renovate our water closet in addition to the main bath. So, not only did Thom complete the project on time and on budget, he also was able to include the additional work we wanted to have done and still work with us to meet the hard completion date we had established. In regards to the work, Hammerhouse's attention to detail and the craftsmanship were top notch. The work had some challenges as per our desire to restore the bath and water closet so they matched the period yet infuse some current styling along with keeping the materials green where possible. Again, Thom and team were exceptional in helping us to successfully achieve this goal. We have some new projects spinning up both with our condo and the 3 unit building we live within. Without a doubt, Thom will be the first on our list to call. High fives all around for Thom and the Hammerhouse crew!

They are close to finished with the remodel of the older home my wife grew up in and I have been very pleased with how it's shaping up. They've transformed a badly dated and dim old house into a bright, open, inviting place that will be great for family gatherings. They have gone above and beyond in helping us find ways to stretch our limited funds and have been very good at listening to suggestions as well as giving them. They obviously know what they're doing and are very knowledgeable with regard to finishes, fixtures, lighting, and style. All while being sticklers that the various codes are being complied with. I Highly recommend them.

Not only that but they designed creative solutions for correcting major structural and seismic deficiencies, as well as addressing gnarly electrical and plumbing issues - but were able to do so without the total tear-down we had feared. I manage a large tech manufacturing team, and have enough technical and process knowledge to appreciate the complexity of the problems this house presented, and the elegance of the solutions. I think before and after photos only go so far (although they look great!) in telling the story. More importantly, PDB is doing high quality work that will stand the test of time, and doing it efficiently and wisely. Great experience.

When most folks were shutting down for a few weeks, he went out of his way to help us out of this bind, meaning we could leave for the holidays without a hole in our house. This shows kindness and a true commitment to the community he lives in. He and his team are incredibly professional, got the job done to our expectations, and very clean. They found ways to get the power they needed for their tools within our garage when it wasn't exactly clear. He's also a very good communicator with the clients, taking time to check in at key milestones of construction and managing while the building's main point of contact switched as different folks went away for the holidays. His office worked really well with insurance to provide paperwork to their specifications, ensuring that we received the claim money (our building had no liability for the accident/loss).

Jason, Alek and Greig are great people to work with. They far exceeded my expectation on every level including communication, pricing, being on time, staff (yes they have their own workers) the permit process, inspection process, working with their subcontractors, etc. Everyone is affable, smart and really understands building codes, etc. I highly recommend CitiDev for any contract work needed (big or small). They are truly committed to their profession and customers.

Tri Line Construction just completed building our dream home. Kevin and his crew did a wonderful…read morejob. Let me start by saying, we started this project way back in 2018. Going though the permit process in San Francisco is no easy task. We started with another general contractor but he couldn't see the project though. We have known about Kevin's work for a long time. Then one day, at a party, we saw him, asked if he would be interested and he said sure. That was the best thing that could have happen to our project. He was able to work with the city, architects and engineers to get the job done. He knows his way around the permit process, inspection timeline and how to deal with all the subcontractors. He kept us apprised of what items we need to begin shopping and ordered to keep the project timeline moving forward. Kevin and his crew are very passionate about what they do and it really shows in the finished product. He and his crew kept a very neat job site and he makes sure that all the subs contractors do the same. Keeping a tidy job is so important to the final outcome. We told Kevin, "we know what we don't like, but we also don't know what we like" and he flew with that and helped us with all the finishes. This kind of a job can be over welming. He helped us and showed us new and old styles which he thought we would like. We went with a contemporary theme. In the end, we went slightly over budget but mostly due to the pandemic and material delays. We never imagined that together, we could create such a wonderful forever home for our family. We are so happy to be in our new home and it would have never have happened without Kevin and his crew on the job. If you have a new construction or remodel, CALL Kevin and try to get on the schedule. You won't regret it. Just be ready for the ride, as it can get bumpy at times but it will be worth it at the end. Thanks you, Tri Line Construction and the crew, you know who you are and we appreciate all of you.
