If could give them 6 stars, I would. Working with Juan Jose and their entire crew was a wise choice when we hired them. We had a full kitchen remodel that required gutting, pulling permits, bringing up gas lines, upgrading and adding to the existing electrical; moving plumbing, installing tiles for the backsplash, and installing all of our new appliances. They were nice enough accept the additional work of replacing our water heater, building its pedestal, and assembling our kitchen cabinets. They showed up earty to work each day and put in a full day's work to make sure that the project moved along, even coming in on Saturdays if it was OK with me. I especially appreciated the fact that they communicated with me throughout the duration, and were avalable by text, email, and phone whenever I had a question. Even though I didn't see them on a daily basis, I was totally aware what they were working on, and overall progress of my project. It was very important for me to be able to trust someone to be in my home when want there. They respected my home, did what what was asked (and more!) They were very professionals. On the day that my cabinets were supposed to be delivered, for example, they quickly dispatched a plumber to deal with the flood in my garage (where my cabinets were supposed to go in the next hours) This is just one of the circumstances where they went above and beyond my expectations (email me and I'm happy to provide more info! Stephanie.albrecht01@gmail.com) The price was right in line with other contractors, but something about that company really made me trust them. "They had my back, even to fault" when due to my poor floor contractors, the cabinet installation was delayed. Between getting bids from full service companies where the contractor provided materials, to "pay-for-labor-only" contractors, where I purchased all the materials and they did the installation, actually I got 5 estimates, and technically, if you consider all the extra work that I piled on, they came under budget. I really felt that I received a lot of value for my money, but more importantly, they actually cared about their reputation, workmanship, and made sure that I was fully satisfied. The only other way to say thank you to this company is to share my experience, if you are considering any type remodel or renovation, I recommend them without any reservation whatsoever. Best of luck in your project! read more

We have had the good fortune to work with Planart Construction over the last 18 months for the design and a down-to-the studs renovation of our home in San Francisco, and we are very pleased with the outcome. The company does a very professional job in every step of the design and construction process. Juan Jose did a fabulous design schematics that far surpassed what we thought we could afford without going over our budget. He kept a simple, modern layout by removing interior walls and connecting the basement level to the first floor and rehabilitating the attic to add a master suite; made room for a studio and bathroom in the basement; inserted a whole bathroom and walking closet in a hallway area that was useless; rearranged the kitchen/family room area and converted it into a "big room" with an aisle, nook, plus a walking closet and powder room. He added a skylight over the stairway, and opened as many windows as possible so the whole first floor is now flooded with natural light. Juan Jose is very knowledgeable about construction codes and the permit approval process and assisted us through that daunting course. He was honest in every piece of advice he gave us and our home greatly improved its value thanks to his vision. We were given a detailed timeline before starting construction so we knew the cash flow we needed as well as when to order materials and appliances (if those were allowances). Invoices came weekly and were clear and straight-forward. Sebastian, Planart's Project Manager, was in charge of the project from beginning to end and was very efficient to fulfill all phases as planned. We met regularly and decided over finishes and details ahead of time so we didn't run behind schedule. He is a young professional with a positive attitude, which was proven at times when we had unforeseen issues to resolve. He is knowledgeable of vendors who offer the best prices, and of new materials and trends, which was of a great help. He was acute in terms of details and made sure his team achieved flawless finishes on paint, tile, baseboards, outlets, etc. He was easy going and fun to work with. We should also point out that the workers were talented, skillful and well-mannered. Both my wife and I would recommend this company again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I needed to have extensive renovations done to our 105 year old house. It was a difficult process choosing a contractor for the job. Juan Jose Artega not only had the expertise for all the different requirements of our job( foundation,electrical, plumbing,all refinishing ), he was able to change/improve the design we had drawn by another professional. He and his staff have been wonderful to work with, and after 51/2 months with many changes ( our enclosed back porch had to be removed and he drew new plans that that made the rest of our project work together beautifully) It's a joy to see the fine work and detail come together as our project comes to an end. This has been such a positive experience that I can highly recommend Planart to anyone considering any size job to their home. read more

Two of our neighbors, who are Planart's clients, recommended this company to us. Professionals in the field of Architecture & construction, they know how to get a good job done: Juan Jose Arteaga is a very skilled Architect who will give you options for your remodeling you'd have never imagined. Very creative! Sebastian Arteaga is the Project Manager and the person in charge of work performance. A highly detailed-oriented young man, and very determined to meet deadlines. Both, true gentlemen. We did a large remodeling at our home: basement rehabilitation, kitchen, living room, attic and bedrooms area, and I can honestly say I don't recognize my old home. Must add Planart's crew and subcontractors are very professional and polite, as well. read more

My husband and I bought a condo in San Francisco and hired Planart Construction (for the second time) to do a major remodel. We upgraded the kitchen and bathrooms, refinished floors, opened a wall in the living room and painted walls and ceilings. Planart did an excellent job, providing us with a myriad of ideas and dealing with our constant changes. Even if they had to redo the floor plans over and over again, they never charged us extra, and worked hard to satisfy our requirements of space and functionality, while staying within our budget. During construction, they were always on task and their crew was very hard-working. We want to thank Juan Jose, Sebastian and the workers for doing a wonderful and professional work. read more

We are almost done with a very complicated remodel. Juan Jose Arteaga and his team have been amazing. They have worked to get everything right and complete the vision we had for the house. We have very modern taste, and they handled the new projects well. The workmen are so so friendly and pleasant on top of being hardworking. I really appreciate that JJ has great ideas and shares them but is never pushy or offended if you do something differently. It has been a extremely positive experience. read more
