Gerson Mateo has been a trusted partner working with me on many projects for over 8 years. I can depend on him to quote honestly, never overcharge, even when there are change orders. As a real estate professional, Gerson understand that the work needs to be done well and in a timely manner. I have worked with him extensively and he is now my go-to contractor when I need things done right and on time. read more

Gerson and team painted my home exterior when I needed an update back in 2019. Together with my color consultant, I picked colors to accent the main body color, which was using free paint from SF Recology. Gerson's team gave a quality exterior paint job and I am so happy with it, all within my budget and timeline. To this day, the paint job still looks great! read more

Gerson and his team are the best! Everything went quickly and smoothly, from my first phone call to the project completion. I first contacted Gerson about mold in my bathroom and leaking from the upstairs toilets. He came out the next day and within three weeks, his team investigated the issues, fixed the leaks, removed and installed new drywall, and so much more. In the process, they also found a third leak in the downstairs toilet and so essentially, renovated the bathroom with new floor tiles and paint. I appreciated that his team cleaned up at the end of each day. What makes Gerson stand out from other contractors is his honesty, communication, and reasonable pricing. He was super responsive throughout the entire process and problem-solved every step of the way. Would definitely recommend him and I hope to hire him again for my next project! read more

The experience was negative to say the least. Gerson kept us hoping days after days for the work to start... but it never did. He basically wasted several weeks of our time and delayed our timeline. His technique? He bid lowers than the competition and keeps you on the back-burner until he finds a better contract. Initially, he will promise the world, sending numerous pics of his previous work while boasting about his contractor skills. Eventually, you'll become his plan B and he will periodically send you a message to keep you hoping just in case one of his other contracts gets cancelled. Don't waste your time with this unreliable person. read more

This team is the best! Having had a fair share of contractors who just never live up to their word, Gerson and his team were phenomenal. They are prompt, on time, always wear masks , very friendly and went out of their way to ensure they cleaned up every spec before leaving at the end of every day. I loved the first job they did so much that I had them come back to finish two more and every job was perfect. They also have the best prices in the market. They completed an entire nook for me in one day, completed wiring and set up a Tesla charger in a day and finished repairing my entire kitchen in 3 days. I would highly recommend this team to tackle any job and will keep using them for any future projects. read more

We're moving out of our office and needed whiteboards that were glued to the wall to be removed and then painted over. Called Gerson in the morning and he and his crew came into our office to do the work that same evening. We discovered the paint that was brought wasn't the ideal color (it was eggshell white but our office was slightly more beige) and instead of rushing to get the job done anyways, Her son's crew recommended they come back tomorrow so we could have the right paint for the job. They came back the next day (SUPER punctual both times, arrived a few minutes early) and wrapped up the job in just an hour. They retouched some of the other areas around the office (holes drilled in the wall, scratches and scuffs) and I can honestly say the office looks better than when we moved in. Very reliable, would recommend! read more

I'm actually reluctant to leave a review because I don't want to share him and his crew! Gerson is professional, honest, thorough, highly knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and dependable. There is no other person I would call for any job, big or small. If HGTV had a "project-off" between contractors, I would put him up against anyone! read more

If you are checking Yelp to Reference Gerson Construction please reads on. Gerson Mateo left and did not complete the job. I've paid him in full trusting that he would finish the last few items. He has not come back for 3 weeks. He has not returned calls, texts or emails. He also still has the keys to my front door! The makes my family uneasy and feel unsafe. Thank goodness there is a forum to warn others about this experience. It's not worth it, please choose another contractor. I don't think he understands he is dealing with a family. For him it's just money. He's on to the next job. Disappointing. read more

His fees were super competitive and there were no hidden costs or surprises. I'd highly recommend him. read more

Gerson was hired to repair a water damaged ceiling in bathroom. Although it was a small job, he took it and I'm glad he did. They got the permit, fixed support joists, replaced all resilient channels, re-insulated, installed a new fan and ductwork, drywalled and painted. They even fielded my insurance company's requests for different items on the invoicing. The team also fixed a smaller drywall issue on the corner wall in kitchen while fixing the bathroom. Gerson was always able to get a hold of and he proactively reached out to let me know what was going to happen and when. Gerson and his crew were quick, did quality work and were easy to work with.

Quick response, know their stuff, were able to come fix our plumbing issue just a couple days after I contacted them. Great work, thank you!

I hired Gerson for an extensive full bathroom rebuild (floor joists and exterior walls were completely rotted out) and after he started the job and I saw the quality of his work I expanded the scope to include a new roof, new dining room skylight, new insulation, siding, etc. He knows and follows the San Francisco building codes, takes pride in his work and had creative ideas and solutions for any issues that arose. I've hired 5 different contractors in the 15 years I've owned my house and Gerson is the only one I would hire again, without hesitation. read more

Gerson and his crew have completed two job for me - both were done to the highest level of quality and professionalism. In the summer of 2020, they sanded, sealed and repainted the back of my house and did an amazing job bringing new life to the entire facade, going above and beyond in all aspects. In February, 2021 they completely gutted and renovated my bathroom and the transformation has astonishingly great. They did all the demo work (cleanly!), moved and upgraded plumbing, upgraded electrical and lighting systems, moved and improved HVAC, drywalled, waterproofed, tiled, and installed cabinets and all fixtures. Gerson provided excellent advice every step of the way and was very creative in his approach to some complex details. I was impressed with his ability to think ahead to the next steps and problem-solve in advance to avoid potential issues. In addition to all of that, he and his crew are super nice and friendly. I hope to hire him again in the future. read more

I requested a quote for a home maintenance project on the Yelp app. Gerson responded quickly with an estimate and an appointment time. I said "that works for me" and never heard back. I texted again with my address and asking him to confirm, and he did not respond. I left a voicemail and he did not respond. I texted again and he did not respond. I called again and the voicemail box was full. He did not show up at the appointment time. Very unprofessional conduct and very disappointing- I have very little time home during business hours, and during the time I waited for him to confirm, I lost time to schedule other people.

Gerson, , came and gave an estimate. I called him to come back, he was very distant and at first told me he could come later this month.

Very Rude. read more

Gerson came out to look over a paint job for the walls of this renter's apartment, and because of a time crunch, offered to start the night before. Not only did he come, but he brought an extra worker, and they finished the job that night. As they progressed, he checked in with me, to make sure I was getting what I wanted. I'd procured some recycled paint for the job, but it was useless: he had paint with him, and didn't gouge me on the three gallons I needed. read more

Gerson and his crew were amazing. I was transitioning my old kitchen into a living room. I found G Construction on Yelp and had a response within 5 mins. He met with me the same day to review my project and go over details. I was impressed with his professionalism and advice during the meeting as well as the fair price. What was originally going to be a 2 1/2 day job (Based on other estimates) Gerson and crew completed in 1 day. He pulled some guys from other jobs to have the work done for me ASAP. They capped my old gas line and water line and recessed them both into the wall. Closed some huge holes in my wall from the my previous countertop and oven vent. Sealed off and removed 4 outlets and updated the other 6 outlets in the room. Added a new baseboard and repaired the drywall. Removed 7 old light fixtures and updated or removed them as well as updated the switches bringing them up to code. Gerson made some suggestions around lighting that ultimately were the right thing to do and made the new space look even better. His crew were timely and professional and very clean. All COVID-19 precautions were taken throughout the work. At the end of the night there was an issue with my water heater and Gerson sent over someone right away to take a look for me so I wouldn't need to address the issue in the morning. I would work with Gerson again in the Future without hesitation and would recommend him to others. Thanks! read more

I am more than happy to give Gerson a glowing recommendation professionally and personally. Gerson renovated our kitchen and 2 bathrooms, as well as countless other small projects. Among the things he did was assemble cabinets, lay tiles, electrical work such as recessed lighting and intercom system, remove a wall and refinish the remaining wall, plumbing such as putting in a new toilets, sinks, shower, and bathtubs as well as setting up appliances. i could go on. His work was excellent, timely, and he was great about communicating during the projects. I was thrilled with the process and the outcome. There didn't seem to be anything I asked of him that he couldn't do or that he couldn't bring in a trusted colleague to help with. On a personal note, following the initial renovation of our kitchen Gerson has become a friend. I was pregnant at the time of the kitchen renovation and in the 4 years since then he has become a friend to me and to my whole family. My son absolutely loves when Gerson comes by and frequently helps him with smaller projects around the house. read more
