I was very pleased with the communication throughout each phase of the project. The entire job was just about on budget except a few additions that I personally added in the middle of the project (new sewer line,tankless water heater). I was thankful he didn't add any change orders and treated me fairly. I would 100% recommend this company to any of my friends and acquaintances. I received a handful of quotes before I started this project and Jason was the most competitive. Before the job started he told me it would take 18 weeks to finish the job and he completed it in 16 weeks! I consider Jason a good friend after spending the past 4 months working with him.

This is the third time I have…read moreused their team - we hired him a number of years ago to do our roof - then were so happy with their work that they did some structural repairs/ siding and deck for us. This past year- I tried them for our bathroom remodel. What I like most about Erast and his crew are the attention to detail. No - they will not be the cheapest bid you get, but they do really high quality work to very exacting standards. He is very familiar with working in SF and the arduous permitting process you have to go through, Living through a remodel is never fun, but his team is respectful of you / your home and the workspaces were kept immaculate. His subs are excellent - and he / they definitely go above and beyond. Shortly after the project was completed - my boiler / hot water went out during the PG&E extended power outage. He was able to get his plumber there same day to work on repairs.

The roof needed replacement, the balcony was actively leaking, and there was dry rot in several areas of the house. Since I already needed so much exterior work done, it seemed like a good time to add solar panels and have the entire house repainted as well. Armand and the multiple crews he had work on my house did an *amazing* job, and they were pleasant to have around. Armand was very responsive to my questions and requests and gave useful advice. He was patient with me when I panicked, and he did everything he could to make the whole experience as stress free as possible. He coordinated with my solar panel installers to make sure everything went smoothly and the timing of the roof installation worked out, and he rushed to get my balconies waterproofed before it started raining. They used high quality materials, were up to date on the latest techniques and tools, and paid great attention to detail. I could tell they really cared about their work, and my neighbors have all complemented me on how nice the paint job looks. I can finally sleep easy without having to worry about more leaks and dry rot!

Here's an enthusiastic yelp for Chris Houk of Houk Construction. I am a Realtor who does business…read morein the San Francisco East Bay and Chris has been a referral I have given to my clients for some time. Recently Chris worked with me on one of my own home projects and I have to say, Chris went way above and beyond the call of duty to bring about a happy ending to what could have been an expensive, hassle of a crisis for me. My clients say Chris is personable and easy to understand, true to his word on price and consistently does quality work. It's been important to them to actually like and trust the contractor who spends so much time in their home. The truly outstanding thing about Chris is that he takes on his client's situation as if it were his own and works creatively to find the elegant solution. Recently, Chris helped me navigate some really tricky communications with the City of El Cerrito Building Services. In the end, the City representatives proved to be very reasonable in their requirements, but that WASN'T the way things started out! If I hadn't had Chris' help in the early stages, I surely would have gotten caught up in alot of bureaucracy and things might not have gone so well at all. Even Realtors need good representation! A++ for Houk Construction! Thank you, Chris!

Neal and team did an amazing job when we completely remodeled our home in Noe Valley (completed in…read more2016). My wife and I truly enjoyed the design process that SaA took us through. We described certain features and how we intend to use the space as a family (as opposed to exactly telling them what the layout was supposed to look like) and they surprised us with a design that by far exceeded our expectations. Our house is modern & cozy at the same time and it provides privacy while still being flooded with tons of natural light. The experience of SaA became even more obvious when they navigated the city's planning process for us. We got through the entire planning process in record time (incl. neighborhood notification, etc.) as Neal & team ensured that every little detail was within the planning code and fully documented. They also helped us change a number of features in order to meet our budget requirements. The firm also supported us through the construction process by working very closely with our contractor. I have recommended Schwartz and Architecture to numerous friends and neighbors.

I hired Schwartz and Architecture to design the remodel a newly purchased single-family home. We…read moreinvolved them when we were still in the process of buying the house to make sure the remodel we envisioned could happen in a price range we could afford. Everything started out great, and I wished we'd stopped with the $2,500 "masterplan" contract where they measure your house and provide preliminary, hand-drawn concept design sketches. Instead, we proceeded to the next phase ... where you quickly begin to feel like the most important part of the relationship is how much Schwartz and Architecture can make off you. They get paid a percentage of the overall construction cost so I felt like they were trying to keep those costs as high as possible. It was crazy because adding anything to the design exponentially increased price while removing things doesn't have the same effect. Still scratching my head over the accounting. Like most SF homes, ours is small so efficient utilization of space was important to us. My husband also - repeatedly - told them not to show us designs that would be outside our budget. We reached an impasse where we felt the designs we were being shown weren't worth the money it would cost to build. We terminated our contract with Schwartz and Architecture after spending $23K and only having unusable hand-drawn concept sketches (shame on us for not calling a stop to it earlier). I wouldn't recommend using Schwartz and Architecture unless your construction budget is *at least* $2M. Seriously. They do have good ideas, so you're best off hiring them for the "masterplan," then taking those ideas to an architect who can execute on them in an efficient and affordable way.

We did a kitchen/living room remodel which included removing two walls and adding a 16' new sliding door and a new deck. Toward the end of the project we expanded scope to include a new roof and new siding and exterior painting. They seamlessly provided this extra work. We lived in the house during the construction and worked from home while the crew transformed our home. Andrey got us going and Art and Alex were our main contacts during the project. I enjoyed working with Alex. He has the best "no problem" approach and when we hit a design issue with our deck, he had a great idea of how to rework the stairs and we went with that approach. They also recommended a great architect, window company and other items. Every inspection passed. They responded quickly to my concerns. I will definitely have them come back and do our bathrooms. Thanks Andrey, Art and Alex for making my dream remodel come true!
