If you're looking for a contractor in the Bay Area, you know how hard it is to find someone you actually trust. After consulting with a few different teams to deal with some serious leaking at our front stairs and rear door, we decided to go with David and the SF Remodel team. Their proposal was the most reasonable, and we especially appreciated that they specialize in water intrusion and mold remediation, which were our two biggest headaches. David, Saul, Jordan, and the entire crew were fantastic. They didn't just patch the problem; they fixed the root cause. They pulled out the old stairs, rebuilt them with proper flashing and drainage, and sealed everything with an elastomeric membrane. They also replaced all the damaged drywall underneath and added a moisture barrier, cement, and extra drainage as a failsafe. The real test came right after they finished: we had a massive rainstorm, and I'm happy to report we didn't see a single drop of water leak through. Overall, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, extremely responsive and communicative. We're already talking to them about a much bigger project to add a bedroom and bath in our garage. We couldn't recommend them enough! read more

SF Remodel converted half of my garage into a pantry and bathroom, and overall I'm very happy with how it turned out. They handled everything -- planning, architecture, permits, inspections, and construction -- which made a complex project much easier to navigate. The finished space matches what I had envisioned, both functionally and aesthetically. Throughout the process, the team was consistently nice, honest, and flexible. They were easy to work with, willing to accommodate changes, and I never felt pressured or intentionally misled. Their direct employees, in particular, did excellent work and were professional on site. There were a couple of drawbacks that keep this from being a full five stars. First, the project took significantly longer than expected. There didn't seem to be much formal project management, so it was often unclear when work would happen or who would be coming by. If you value tight schedules and proactive communication, you may need to push for updates. Second, the subcontractors they used weren't top-tier. The plumbers and electricians I've worked with independently were faster and more reliable. Again, their in-house crew was great -- the inconsistency mainly came from subs. That said, the final result is excellent, and I would use SF Remodel again -- just with clearer expectations about timeline and subcontractor quality going in. read more

These guys came in right at their original bid, and on time. They were a joy to work with. I would recommend David, Saul, and Jordan without hesitation. When discussing a subsequent possible project, my wife literally asked, "Is that something San Francisco Remodel could do?" That really says it all. read more

Very professional and thorough quote, which inspires a lot of confidence. Unfortunately, their cost was higher than others and so i reluctantly had to decline. read more

I can't say enough good things about David, Saul, Hugo and the team! Super friendly and easy to work with. They were upfront with cost estimates and worked with me to find amazing over engineered solutions that I know will outlast my lifetime. They went above and beyond in their construction, thorough engineering and craftsmanship! read more

David and his team were awesome to work with. We had water coming into our basement with all this rain and we live on a steep slope in the Oakland hills. David and Saul came out right away, gave a competitive proposal, and were very reliable. The crew showed up on time and everyday. Work had to stop and go due to all the weather but as soon as the weather cleared the team was out the next day working again! David is also super responsive and always willing to answer any questions you have. We ended up replacing siding, adding a French drain and painting our house! We really enjoyed working with them and will call them again for future projects! read more

SF Remodel restored my faith in contractors!!! David & Saul are absolutely fantastic to work with. They did a wonderful job on our bathroom & kitchen remodels. And showed up for us right away when we had issues from a roofers poor work. They truly care about their customers & their quality of work. You will be in great hands if you go with them! Looking forward to working on more projects with them as we continue renovating our house. read more

(Finally getting around to post this review!) We had a very positive experience with SFR. They were easy to work with and really took the time to understand the goals for our various projects. We'd been having increase water intrusion in our basement due to the rainfall during the winters (those atmospheric rivers have not been kind). We discussed having a French drain installed to manage the situation. We also weren't sure if we needed to have part or all of our foundation on that side replaced as well. SFR came out to assess the situation to see what was needed. They said our foundation was solid, but that a water management system, including a french drain and downspout unification would address water entering our basement. They completed this work in a timely manner. This was Phase One. Phase Two was to give some order to our backyard as we hadn't used it in years due its "identity crisis." Now the backyard knows what it is and has a purpose! It looks amazing and is actually usable and something we can enjoy. They totally transformed it! David, Saul and their team are attentive. Their follow up was solid. David and Saul were always down to answer any questions that we had and responded in a timely manner. Any small issues that came up were resolved quickly and to our satisfaction. We recommended them. Quality work! read more

After my initial experience, I left a 1-star review because of major issues with communication, delays, and workmanship. To their credit, David personally reached out to me to set things straight. He was professional, embarrassed about how things had gone, and genuinely wanted to make things right. He sent someone out to finish the details--caulking, painting, trim, and properly ending the baseboard with the new cabinets. That work went smoothly, and for the most part, I was happy with the results. A few days later, I noticed the wall between the cabinets and stone countertop had been painted over with ceiling paint (even though it was already painted correctly). The wall color is close to a white beige and the ceiling is bright white, similar when looking at them but I noticed the difference when I was eating at the countertop. On top of that, paint was sloppily applied around the electrical outlet covers. It's not a huge deal, but it looks lazy--he should've either removed the covers or left the wall as it was. Overall, the finishing work was much better, but I can't give 5 stars to a contractor I felt I had to hover over to ensure things were done properly. That said, David himself left a good impression. He was honest and easy to talk to, and he makes me want to give them another chance. If I have another project in the future, I'll reach out to him again and update this review accordingly. read more

I found SFR through yelp. David and Saul came to look at the pending inspection work from our recent home purchase. While they noticed there was opportunity for more work than just the original scope (shear walls) they quoted me for the most important work. Their crew did a great job and a few days later our old house is as good as new! I'll definitely call David the next time we need remodeling or structural work. read more

Im a realtor who needed a quote for foundation repair/replacement as soon as possible so I can win an offer 2 months ago. 30 days later after we close escrow SFR builders came out and executed the project scope they promised. 3 weeks to-date my clients have a fully retro-fitted home. David and Saul were fast, thorough, and generous. I'm glad I met these guys! read more

We had a great experience with SF Remodel and I'd absolutely recommend them. They built a French drain around the uphill perimeter of our house, excavating down and installing the drainage system with a high level of skill and professionalism. Our site was complex, but the team clearly knew exactly what they were doing from the start. They anticipated everything they'd find, explained the process clearly, and executed the work with confidence. It was obvious they knew exactly what they were doing. Beyond the quality of the work, they were a pleasure to work with personally--very friendly to our family throughout the entire process. They were respectful of our home, and left the job site clean and organized at the end of each day. They also went above and beyond by doing extra cleanup one weekend when we mentioned we were having company. Again, we were very happy with the experience and would recommend them. read more

I highly recommend San Francisco Remodel, as well as David Knott and his partner Saul. We were in very good hands with them after we discovered a roof leak in an outbuilding on our property in 2025. They were able to implement a new waterproofing system (involving, among other things, custom-build metal flashing) in a rather complicated situation. They also rebuilt the roof supports as needed and installed new shingles. They were available quickly after I reached out, which was fantastic. David, my primary contact, was always available to take my calls and he stopped by frequently to check up on the project even though our project was small relative to much of their other work. I would highly recommend SFR and would be happy to use them for a future project. Thank you, David! read more

I had a protruding wooden board affixed to the side of the wall in my kitchen, and it was preventing the installation of a refrigerator I thought would fit. This company came out and removed the piece, for free. They mentioned that times are tough and it was a relatively minor job, which is true. I appreciate their honesty and hard work. Will definitely use them in future (and will pay them, too!). read more

David and his team were awesome. I called in distress because my basement was flooding. He came out that day and found a solution that fit my budget. Super friendly and responsive. I'm looking forward to working with them again in the future. read more

I reached out to SFR due to water damage in the bathroom of a rental property that I needed quickly remediated so the next tenant could move in. David understood my needs as both a landlord and a homeowner who cares about maintaining their property. They were able to complete the job on short notice with a quick turnaround time, but also making sure the job was done properly. Will definitely work with them for future projects. read more

David came out very quickly during the holiday season after a tree fell on my roof and broke off a part of my home. He spent a lot of time making sure I understood all the damages and what it would take to fix them. Even though they were busy, the crew came the very next morning to tarp my roof before the rain came in which I really appreciate. I am definitely going with them for all my work now and the future! read more

It's been a year to the date that David and his crew did a major repair in my home. As part of the bigger job, they repaired and patched the stucco on the exterior of my house to prevent further water intrusion. When we had that last big rain a few weeks ago, I noticed water leaking into my grandson's room where much of David's patching was located. I called David right away. Within a day, he was on scene with his partner inspecting the water intrusion. His opinion was that it was the old windows that needed replacing. With more rain in the forecast, I was anxious to get the work going. He ordered the windows and scheduled the replacement for yesterday speculating 1-3 days for completion. His crew Eduardo, Edgar and Miguel showed up on time yesterday morning. The windows were installed with the trim painted to match the room perfectly. Like the last major job with David, his crew is respectful, meticulously clean and very pleasant to work with. They were done on time with the entire room and the rest of their workspace cleaned completely. Highly recommend this business. Communication is impeccable and the work is top notch. read more

David & his crew were very transparent, thorough, and professional with their work. Look forward to working with them in the future. Thank you again! read more

David and Saul are the "real deal". They were the 1st to respond to my request, very accommodating to my schedule, came up with a well thought-out design solution, offered to pick up the materials I needed, kept the job area clean and tidy, and made sure everything worked as expected. They were knowledgeable, thorough, honest, and customer-focused...very hard to find in contractors!!! I can't say enough about how fortunate I am to find them. They're my "go-to" when I need someone I can trust to get the work done right, the first time!!! read more

Very responsive and professional. I had they over for a quick job for my foundation inspection. Even it's small they went into details with me. Going to have them quote me for a bigger projects. read more

David and Saul are amazing businessmen From the initial meeting to completing the first phase of our project has been very professional and effortless. The crew that completed my gutter and downspouts were professional, kept clear communication throughout the project and I truly appreciate all their work. Looks great! We have several projects planned and I am excited for the next phase Thank you! read more

David and Saúl and their entire crew were detail oriented and great to work with. I had a somewhat complicated but small project that involved a leak from my porch into my basement and the re plumbing of my washing machine to the sewer. They were able to start the project right away and diligently finished it very quickly making sure all work was the highest quality. They were wonderful to work with in every way. Highly recommended. read more

I needed a quote with a fast turnaround time, and they were able to reach out to schedule an appointment the same day. David was my point person, and he was extremely helpful, and thorough with his communication. He was able to go to the property on our first available day, gave me a run down after, and able to complete a report to me very quickly. I'm very appreciative of the quick turnaround they were able to provide for the crawlspace inspection I needed! I look forward to working with them more read more

During the recent rains I was in an emergency when water started pouring in to my down stairs living room and I had no idea what to do.. I called about 8 places and nobody could come and then I reached out to San Francisco Remodel and Saul understood the situation and came out the same day. Once Saul got the water out he said I needed a French drain and the guys immediately got to work additionally I had concrete piers that needed to be replaced and they addressed that as well. It was great to see the owner hands on I definitely recommend these guys. read more

I had SF remodel come to my home and discuss flooring as well as supporting joists underneath my home. They left and I never heard from them. No quote - nothing. Don't waste your time read more

Today was scheduled for a site visit to provide an estimate on my project. They texted me in the morning advising that they would be up to an hour late, and then after waiting that hour, no one showed up. I texted and got no reply, and then texted and told them that I'll not be working with them. read more

Excellent service! David K and David P did an excellent job on investigating an attic leak! Coincidentally we share the same first name and last initial. Glad to finally get to the bottom of it and have some options to resolve the damage and root cause. read more

David and Saul are awesome leaders. They are nice guys as well! David's crew arrived on time and they finished ahead of schedule. The new quartz countertops look incredible. They transformed the kitchen and the price was great was reasonable. If you want your project to be finished on time by honest professionals, call David and Saul at San Francisco Remodel! read more

After getting a few quotes for our kitchen island and countertop project, we felt the most comfortable and confident with David and we are so happy with the final results. David was always available for my many questions from beginning to end of the project. Once we found the quartz slabs, David wasted no time getting our project scheduled and his team was great. They were skilled and fast and it was easy to see that this was their expertise, they completed the whole project in 2 days. We hired David to replace all the counter tops in our kitchen and bar area, do the backsplash with the same material, and level out our island and make larger. (The paint was all completed prior to this project) We couldn't be happier with how it all turned out and will definitely reach out to David with any projects in the future. read more

San Francisco Remodel - Floors Look Great! - General Contractors Near Me

Saul was recommended to us as we were considering various contractors help remodel two bathrooms. Saul's price was better than some of the bigger outfits we were working with but not the cheapest - however, we liked the fact that he is licensed and came recommended. It took a while to get a written contract sent over once we made a decision. It was vague and very high level, which didn't concern us too much but in retrospect, we might have wanted to be more specific about the scope of work. Saul is responsive to feedback and questions / queries. When we asked questions about how to proceed on specific things, or asked him to fix things that weren't quite right, he did so quickly. He picked up his phone quickly or returned our calls within minutes if he missed them. He did eventually get the project completed, but it took about 4 weeks longer than it should have because of scheduling delays and very reactive communication. He didn't tell us when we needed to have various materials ordered by, and that delayed the plumber and tiling subcontractors for multiple days while they waited for equipment. I can't imagine that was great for Saul's profit on this job - but was frustrating for us too because progress was much slower than expected (we had 6 guests come to stay who ended up having to share one bathroom) and led to several last minute surprises. Saul is obviously very busy with work, which is great for him - but expect scheduling to be rocky. Sometimes he and his crew won't show up on days that they are expected to be there, and other times they'll be later than expected. Sometimes they'll come and leave after half a day to go make progress on other people's jobs. All of this feels inefficient to me - since it introduces a lot of travel time into each day. Not a big deal for us since we're lucky to be able currently able to work from home - but I can't imagine this being easy to coordinate if you're not at home all the time. Saul's employees were very respectful and spoke English well. They did a reasonable job of protecting our carpets (although there are still some marks that we're hoping a shampoo will fix). However, one of our exterior stairs was broken during the demolition and we continue to find small shards of demolished bathtub in our front garden. When I queried Saul about the stairs, he said there wasn't much they could do about this because the wood was old, which makes sense but is a little annoying. The work was done to a reasonably high standard. With our shower, they used moisture resistant drywall and the Schluter waterproofing system (instead of the more traditional and labour intensive to install cementboard method). I worry that if I hadn't queried them on this, they would have installed the tile directly to the drywall and we'd have had moisture problems in the future. In some counties in California, the Schluter approach isn't up to code (although in Contra Costa county, it is, thankfully). There were small details that weren't quite ideal - for examples, handles being misaligned. Some dents in the drywall. Power sockets pointing in every direction. A light switch that was installed upside down. The wrong size screws being used to install drawer knobs. Most of these they were able to remedy quickly but we realised after everything was done and dusted, there was no edge on the tile, despite the fact the photos we had sent to Saul ahead of time included this. It turns out that the edge had to be installed underneath the last column of tile and apparently the tiler had asked us about this. If he asked us this, we absolutely did not understand what he was asking - and I wish that Saul had been more on top of things, as our general contractor. To redo that work now would be extremely expensive because we'd need to demolish the existing tile and reinstall it, all while damaging the drywall in the process and having to rehang the shower doors. We've decided to let that go - but I recommend overcommunicating at each stage of the process, particularly if you have specific design goals or you're undertaking a more complex project - or hire an interior designer to hold SF Remodel accountable. Overall, we're happy with the work that Saul and his team did but I wish the process has been smoother and less stressful - particularly for something as commonplace as a bathroom remodel. read more

Quick response and great service. I had french drains installed after we had water intrusion. David and his team were super responsive, had great communication, and did fantastic work. I would use them on any house project when they come up read more

Happy with the work this team did fixing my awning and foundation repair. Immediate to start. Great communication. 2 Thumbs up.

San Francisco Remodel did a wonderful job. I worked with both David K and David P. Their team worked hard, was considerate, and even helped with a few unrelated jobs - installed a new dryer vent, even though they were working in my bathroom. I will definitely hire them again for a future project, and would recommend them to others. They provide a full service, it is nice to have one company that can do everything, and get it done quick! read more

Saul and David first responded to us and quickly scheduled to come assess on the same day at 3:30pm which we were very impressed. their knowledge was remarkable and pointed out something we never noticed. David has the special feature downloaded into his cell phone to detect the moisture behind the scene. ( we requested to make an assessment for the leakage problems in the room beneath the garage) I strongly recommend them. read more

Saul and his team were available on short notice during the storms this NYE to do demo and remediation of water. He was straight forward; and did good work. I've been having them come back slowly over the last 6 months to do repairs as I can afford it and so far so good! read more

We hired them twice this year, first was to address some foundation issues and secondly to update our kitchen. During both appointments, Saul made sure to arrive at the time we had agreed upon and assessed our needs while taking in our input. We were provided with quotes within a few days and walked through costs of the projects. As with any home project, there are going to be unforseen things that pop up but Saul and his team brought them to us with options on different ways to handle and solve. Overall, we are extremely happy with the work they have done and plan to work with them again in the future. read more

the contractor never showed up. The contractors don't want to do small jobs It's very difficult to contact then

I was lucky enough to meet Saul through Yelp's "Request a Quote" feature when I was looking for a contractor to help us with a leak in our ceiling. This was during the madness of COVID when it seems like everyone needs a contractor, so I was worried that it would take forever to get someone to help. Saul responded immediately and showed up at my place later that day to assess the damage. He scoped the work quickly, gave me a really reasonable price, and came in the next day to fix the leak & paint the ceiling. If you're looking for a contractor who's 1) EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE and 2) VERY FAST/ EFFICIENT, Saul is your guy! I was so grateful for the quick response that he's become our go-to for other home repair issues (installing a screen door, shelves, etc). Thanks Saul =) read more
