Nick has been available through the years to answer questions and to help our friends with home remodeling needs. Don't hesitate to choose Firth Construction. You can rest easily knowing that Nick will care for your house as if it's his own and he knows his stuff. He will solve issues that arise. You won't have to intervene and you will be very glad that you chose the right, conscientious contractor. In contrast, we undertook a major remodel with a different GC over the last year. We didn't use Firth Construction because of our scheduling and timing needs; however, we have major regrets that we didn't wait for Nick and his team to be available. We have had numerous headaches with the other company with many things having to be redone and having to settle with "good enough" because we had no choice. We had to bring in our own sub contractors to complete some work so we could feel comfortable that it was done correctly. In fact, we are still waiting for the GC to finish major work and are sitting in limbo with only one (of three) fully functional bathrooms, which is the bathroom Firth Construction did years ago. It's been extremely stressful, frustrating and disappointing. Renovations aren't always easy and unexpected things will happen; however, you can give yourself peace of mind and less stress if you choose Firth Construction. I wish we had and we are paying the price now.

That's when it turned into a dream renovation! Andy and crew are meticulous: highly skilled, earnest, hardworking and careful. Everyone works together seamlessly, enjoy their work and each other's company. They are polite, respectful and patient. I believe people work happily when they're paid fairly and treated respectfully, and credit Andy with that. I worked on this project for my house in San Francisco from Southern CA, mostly by phone, text and email. I was only able to come up 3 or 4 times during the process. I had to pick paint colors and tile for floors and walls by long distance, plus make a million other decisions. Andy made it easy and I never had to worry about quality of craftsmanship or careful planning. They came in to take over a botched job on the bath and turned it into a beauty. Then renovated the kitchen with equal skill and beautiful craftsmanship. Only good things to say about Fay Construction!

Webb Construction is a Tier 1 professional construction company. If you know anything about…read moretoday's construction environment, then you will understand it's very difficult to get a project aligned, on time and within budget. We had an amazing experience with Webb Construction for a down to stud modern remodel on Greenwich Street. We were very sensitive to soft costs (architectural, structural, etc.) Shon Webb was masterful in interpreting the limited plans we had while providing experiential and thoughtful suggestions that passed T24 code restrictions saving us tens of thousands! You will also save on budget as Webb Construction has their own in-house master carpenters. Jose pays extreme attention to detail as a carpenter, and you will love his work. Writing a review is one thing, if you are serious, then you can book an appointment with Shon to see the work completed on my project. We would 100% use them again and the team turned out to be good friends.

We used Mizen for a fairly full remodel and were incredibly happy with the results and overall…read moreexperience. For context on the scope of work, we moved our kitchen, removed a bathroom, added a bathroom, replaced doors, added skylights, and redid almost all of the electrical and plumbing in a house that was originally built in 1908 and hadn't been updated since the 70s. They went down to the studs on half the house and we have basically a new house coming out of it. We worked with Mark and Ciaran and the project took 6 months. We'd highly recommend working with Mizen and we'd use them again in a heartbeat. We feel like they delivered an excellent product, were highly communicative, stayed on budget, and we'll definitely be using them again for any future work. So the short of it is that Mizen was fantastic but below are a few more thoughts on specific areas.  Work quality - Mark and Ciaran are craftsmen and they have a strong attention to detail. We felt like they were thoughtful throughout the entire process. It was clear they were very focused on delivering an excellent project rather than optimizing for what was easier or faster for them. They sweat the details. There were also areas that we didn't know to ask for but they pushed on. As an example, they laid the tile in our kitchen such that the midline of the tile hit the center of our oven perfectly. That wasn't something we asked for, it wasn't in the architects plans, and I'm sure it required extra work, but they did it and it's one of the subtle details I most appreciate about the kitchen.  Budget  - My wife and I were quite focused on costs for our project. We found Mizen very reasonably priced and responsive to our budget. They were only slightly higher than some of the other options we considered but we felt like their work quality would be better. We also thought their cost estimate was more thoughtful and therefore less likely to be wildly over budget relative to the alternatives. We did end up going slightly over our original budget but for two reasons that were outside of Mizen's control. The first was around some unforeseen structural issues that they discovered upon opening the walls. We have an old house and anticipated some changes like this. It came out to ~2% of our overall budget and we ended up very glad that they addressed these underlying issues. The second area where we went over our original budget was for things we decided to add mid-construction. We ended up replacing some doors and making a few minor cosmetic changes while we were doing the other work. Again, we're very glad we did it and don't regret the increase. For all the change orders we added, we never felt like Mizen was pressuring us or doing it just to drive up the bill. We felt like they had our budget and overall best interest in mind throughout.  Timing - The project ended up going over our original target by 3 weeks. On a 6 month project that happened in the middle of the tariff blow up, we felt like it was a pretty great outcome. We feel like they made a big push at the end to get us back in the house ahead of a hard deadline we had.  Other - We felt like the Mizen team was also great about dealing with our neighbors. There were a few areas where they want above and beyond what the structural engineer recommended and didn't charge us for it. I've already recommended Mizen to multiple friends. They're fantastic and we'd love to work with them again.

Ciaran and Mark's team has helped me complete two projects in the last few years. One was a…read morecomplete rebuild of a Victoria home in SF; the other is a remodel in East Bay. We are very satisfied with both projects. In fact, my neighbors on the same block have selected them for similar projects right after ours. Here are the 3 key areas we have chosen them twice and will do so in the future. 1). High quality with reasonable price - Mark can solve all technical problems while Ciaran is very detail-oriented. They make sure their employees and subcontractors deliver high-quality finishes from the alignment of the tiles to the cut of the wood trims and beautiful paint job. They do it with a reasonable price discussed before signing the contract. 2). Excellent time management and communication - a rough project timeline is given during the signing of the contract. Spencer manages the project timeline well and keeps us informed about the schedule. In addition, if we ever have questions, he always answers within a day via text, call, or email. Great customer service! 3). A sense of respect and high level of integrity - when Mizen decides to take on a project, the whole team treats the project as though it is their property. They clean up at the end of the day, are respectful of the surrounding neighbors, and protect existing appliances or furnishing. You don't need to worry about neighbor complaints. Sharing some before and after photos of the last remodel project.
