Their estimate was detailed and thorough. The workers sent in were respectful and did fantastic work. They were flexible when we wanted to make changes in the project.  I was also happy that Frano was always available to answer any questions. When surprises were found during demolition, Frano was clear as to what was found and made solid recommendations as to what we needed to do. Only issue during our 3 months remodel was delay in delivery of new kitchen cabinets which postponed our move in date for ten days. I recommend Sol Builders for your next project. They do quality work.

We selected Sol Builders based on strong recommendations from their previous clients. They did a…read moregood job and stuck to budget and deadlines as much as possible. We did a complete remodel for our family house in San Francisco. Frano was responsive to questions and concerns we had during the construction progress. We had some delays in the project due to bad luck, which was out of the hands of Frano and his crew. We love the final result and will definitely recommend them.

Raymundo and crew came out to re-roof the 2 lightwells in my house…read more The first time it rained, water gushed into my basement, not just a trickle. I called, they came back out and told me that it was because my drain was clogged. OK yes it was clogged, but it dumped into my basement instead of backing up to the roof because they did not seal the drain they installed. They fixed it and THAT part doesn't leak anymore. The second rain came. Still leaking, this time on the other side of the lightwell and it is more of a drip, drop kind of leak. They are coming back out tomorrow and I hope they fix this one, whatever it is, again. 2 stars because at least one of the lightwells doesnt leak. I got 5 quotes and they were the cheapest, I've learned my lesson.

Finally, a contractor who does what they say they will, when they say they will…read more These guys are the bomb. They were originally scheduled to come out next week to fix our leaky roof. When my husband called them to verify they were still on schedule, and mentioned that the leak had gone from a seeping thing to a full-on dripping mess, they said they'd send out a crew that same day -- on a SATURDAY! They did all the work they originally mentioned in their bid, plus took care of a few extra things they found along the way. All of this for exactly the original price of the quote. Unbelievable. Props too for the cheerful office folks, estimators, and work crews. I wish all the people who worked on our house were like these guys. UPDATE: 2 days later, the roof started leaking again, so we called them at 7:50 this morning. By, 8:20 there were guys on the roof, and by 9:30 they were done. So far, no leak... I'm not excited that the roof leaked after $1700 worth of repair and maintenance, but their service is so amazing, I can't really fault them.

After getting quotes from 6 different contractors, I was close to giving up on the project…read morealtogether. Quotes came in all over the board and we were left with varying degrees of confidence that people could execute or understand our vision. Then we met Idan. He called when he said he would call, delivered a detailed quote, and answered every single question we had (which were many). Idan was easy to talk with and understood our vision, it felt like he was invested and willing to collaborate. Construction on your home feels high stakes: it's a ton of money, it's destructive to your routine, it's messy, it's a freakin emotional roller coaster watching the sausage get made--and Idan stayed with us the entire time. No problem is a problem for Idan, "Don't worry, we'll fix it. Be there tomorrow." He keeps a good attitude and isn't ruffled when you are (and you will be). The thing we most appreciated about Idan and his team was the level of transparency and communication. Being in a client facing role myself, I would never dream of making myself as available as this team does. I imagine it is rare in this business: when you ask a question, no matter how trivial, Idan and his team jump on it in near real time; it's incredible. Idan is creative, a practical problem solver, and a go getter--he wants to find a way and he does it as fast as possible. He tells you what he thinks and he wants to do what makes sense; he's not in the business of inventing expensive solutions. Our house is old and uneven and quirky and they just continued to work with what they had to achieve the aesthetic I was after. They didn't stop until I was happy.  Having made it to the other side, I am so happy with the end result. Idan will have your back.

Although we didn't end up going with Sunset Home Builders for our bathroom project, I do want to…read moreleave a review to recognize Idan's professionalism, honesty, competitive+reasonable quote, and being super thorough when putting together the estimate. We'll definitely use Idan and his team for future projects!

Alexander Zaytsev is a thief!!!!! He stole $7000 from me…read more He took $ for materials, promissed work to be done in a month or 2, then disappeared for a year=no work done. When I finally got hold of him, he admitted that he spent my $ 1000 for materials, and next day told me he will not return it. I hired him before. He did a good job, showed me his good side (a mask, beneath which is a very, very, very bad person who bites the hand that feeds him). Then, after he developed my trust, he asked for $6000 for 1 year to pay off high interest credit card debt. I gave it to him but a year later when I asked for $ back he started giving me excuses, made me wait till he sells his car, then, asked for 2-3 more month, then 2-3 more. I still thought he could be trusted and treated him as a friend. I gave him construction work to work for this $ and I gave him $1000 more for materials. He promised work to be done in a month or 2. But, 1 year later - no work, no $ and he did not answer the phone and did not return phone calls for over 6 months. I finally reached him through contacting his wife, asked her to help me get hold of him and explained situation to her. Alexander then called me, told me, that he wanted to return but will not return me my $ because I am contacting his wife, I am a threat to his family. He said: "I'm not going to return anything to you out of principle!." This is his formula/his way to justify his low/thief/ratlike behavior. I want to warn all good people not to fall into his trap like I did. Summary: He did work for me cheap 1 st. 2 nd I gave him more work but it was very expensive but good. After he developed my trust he stole my $ by using deceit and manipulation and showed his real -antisocial personality disorder face. Not only did he steal $7000, He also refused to return keys from my 2 houses and garage remote control (I gave him keys a year ago when I gave him jobs and $1000 for materials).

We hired Ricky and the team at Valenz Construction in early 2023 to do a huge renovation on our…read morehouse. It involved gutting out and starting over for the entire house, as well as reconstructing one end of it from the foundation up. It was complicated by the fact that we continued to live and work from the home throughout. We can honestly say that Ricky and the team from Valenz were a genuine pleasure to work with. Their care and willingness to work with us--and around us!--at every step of the project was nothing short of remarkable. We also always felt that Ricky was treating us fairly, honestly, and profoundly honorably throughout the entire project. The careful work, flexibility, and never-ending good cheer from everyone was simply remarkable and touched us deeply. We think of it every day as we enjoy the wonderful house Ricky and everyone at Valenz Construction created for us.

I hired Blackline Construction to do some fairly significant construction on my 4-unit apartment…read morebuilding in SF, including building a new bathroom, significant shear wall and foundation work, replacing and relocating all of the electric panels and meters, completely repiping the building with new copper, and a whole laundry list of smaller items. The job was long and got changed a bunch of times along the way. All four apartments were occupied, and all were impacted significantly by the work. Klaus and hie team had to work around the schedules of each of the tenants for access, cutting power and water, etc. Their communication was excellent and they went out of their way to minimize inconvenience and disruption to my tenants. The quality of the work is outstanding; Klaus and Joe take pride in their work, and it shows. The new bathroom -the most visible part of the work they did - is beautiful. Every single day they took time to clean up thoroughly before leaving. They were patient in answering my questions and explaining things throughout the job. Klaus and his team were 100% reliable, always showing up when promised. Never, in a job that ultimately spanned nine months, did I worry that my contractor had forgotten me or that they were too busy with other jobs to worry about mine. When something went wrong, as is probably inevitable on a project of this size, Klaus was more than fair in reaching an agreeable solution. This was a complex job with a lot of pieces to juggle, and Blackline really surpassed my expectations. I would not hesitate for a second to hire them again, and I will sing their praises to anyone who will listen. If you're planning any major remodeling or renovation, I strongly encourage you to give them a call.

John and Ian have been our GCs for 10+ years and have done remodeling and addressed water intrusion…read moreissues for us in San Francisco. They are professional and candid about any issues that arise, and work diligently towards finding solutions. Most recently, they handled a large remodel for us that included 5 bathrooms, new hardwood floors, replacing large custom single pane with dual pane windows, and new deck installations. They addressed all my concerns and went above and beyond. For example: Had the floors redone when the painters accidentally spilled substances on the newly installed floors, and John repaired sliding door locks for which the hardware was pretty much impossible to replace, and prior to this remodel they came to my aid for an urgent repair of a large water leak that emanated from a skylight. John specializes in carpentry/woodwork and did an exceptional job installing new white oak railings. Over the last decade, I have found them to be reliable, honest, and reasonable in cost for the amount of extra work they carry out, which is why I will always call them when we need work done.
