When was the last time you heard someone give a positive rave over a contractor? Well, these guys…read moredeserve it! I've owned several homes, over the years, and I have never had the pleasure of a decent contractor, until I ran into Dwell. I've known Brian and Marko since they first started their business, some years ago, and they have twice done an excellent job on the exterior shingles on my San Francisco home, but I never got around to doing a Yelp review. This time, however, I called them to help prep my home for sale, and had a huge list of tasks that needed doing, including things like power washing, intricate interior painting, dry rot repair, wood refinishing, hardware replacement, and so forth. I never thought I'd find one company to do everything . . . but was delighted when they agreed to do the entire job. I am elated at what they've done. The work is of the highest caliber and looks great. Beyond that, however, they have been such a pleasure to work with. They are professional, courteous, flexible, friendly and fastidious about clean-up after the day's work. The bid and invoice process was crisp, neat and accurate. The crew ALWAYS arrived exactly when they said they would and, the one time Brian himself was delayed by half an hour, he called to tell me he was on his way. And, unlike so many others I've worked with, they actually put in long hours - no disappearing at 3:00 pm - staying until the setting sun made it impossible to continue. I've bought a new home in Palm Springs, and wish I could take these guys with me to do the renovations there. I'll miss having them on my "call list." Just great.

Many years ago, I solicited several bids to have the exterior of my Victorian home painted. Brian…read morearrived dressed in a spotless painter's suit, and without asking, removed his shoes before he entered our home. Talk about making a great first impression! Because his bid was competitive and he guaranteed his work, I hired him to do the job (my husband, who is an excellent read of people, also encouraged me to hire Brian, sensing that he was an ethical and hard-worker.) Since then, I've hired Brian to handle all of my interior, exterior, and deck staining work. Additionally, being in the real estate business, I am in a position to recommend Brian to my clients. Every single one of them has raved about his work so I continue to recommend him with confidence. I've worked with many contractors throughout my years of home ownership and never have I been able to consistently recommend any of them. I'm happy to say that Brian is the fine exception to this rule. Here's a testimonial video I made of Brian: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu4KdDxNJqI

They worked hand in hand with me to make sure everything was perfect. Sal and his team are one of…read morethe most professional groups I have had work on my house so far. It was nice to have one price from one contractor since a lot of the competition does not provide their own scaffolding. Sal owns his own scaffold and it is included with this work. Some of my other bidders were not providing their own scaffold and would cause complications for me two deal with two separate contractors for one job. With Sal I am dealing with one guy and this gave us the freedom to extend the scope as needed. They not only painted but they restored the building, my walls were taking on water like the titanic and Sal's team did some dry rot replacement, caulking, primer and two layers of paint. Now nothing is getting through my walls and we can stay dry 365 days a year. Also their work was so impressive my neighbor hired them to work on parts of his house as well. They brought my ugly old home that I purchased at auction back to life and gave it true curb appeal. Sal promised that he will make it perfect, I took it with a grain of salt, but in the end he delivered. Thank you Sal, you are the best!!!!

We gave up work after Evan let so many loose items linger for 6 months so we will move forward with our own handyman, lighting designer, and electrician to complete the unfinished work he sold us on and committed to. Overall, we don't consider the job done except for painting and he was (generously) over schedule/late by 2 full months and over budget by 30%. Evan did a spectacular painting job, for which we are grateful, however his client/project management and expectation setting were abysmal. overall, that's cast a pall on his amazing painting and our relationship. We gave Evan the benefit of the doubt, but we need to move on since further delays, and lack of communication are sullying an otherwise beautiful outcome.

Until 2012, I lived in San Francisco and met Evan Auchard of Fine Custom Painting sometime around…read more2004. At that time, we hired him to paint our 1888 Victorian in Noe Valley, which was in desperate shape. It took ages, but alligatored and chipped paint gave way to bare wood and then a brand new skin. We worked together closing on the color scheme and to this day the house looks as good as it did when the scaffolding was removed. I understand the current owners occasionally have Evan's crew wash it, thereby revealing the high gloss finish. So pleased with the results, we had him paint our subsequent house in The Castro. Though not a Victorian, he did as well with the stucco as he did with 100-year-old plus redwood. Furthermore, he painted all of the interior. I would trust him to use good judgment on any house I wanted him to paint. Know this, however: Evan paints for the long run. He invests the time and energy into getting it right so the job will last for many years to come. I've recommended him to friends and clients, as well as served as a reference.
