Superior business! Trustworthy owner and crew. Highly recommend Tyson Bruce is honest and an excellent professional in his field.

Tyson and his team just finished a complete "rip and replace" on our master bath. They did an excellent job! They went out of their way, especially toward the end, to make sure everything was completed properly and no punch list items were left. The result is both beautiful and functional. We found Tyson to be great to work with. He's honest, reliable and does a good job of communicating. His approach is 100% professional. We would definitely hire him again if we have another house project. read more

Wow! What great work! These guys get the job done right! After staring at a hideous 70's bathroom for way too long, I decided it was finally time to remodel. This project was truly a complete makeover of the space. New tub, toilet, sink/ vanity, shower, fixtures, and wall/ floor refinishing. It couldn't have turned out better thanks to Bruce Construction. They were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. Always on time and kept to the proposed schedule. I would absolutely use them again. They've inspired me to redesign my kitchen! read more

We have had Bruce construction do several projects for us, and have found them to be both dependable and great to work with. They are always on time, they answer phone calls, and keep the job site very clean. The work has always been top notch. I would not hesitate to use Bruce Construction again. read more

Excellent workmanship and great follow up. We had our bathroom entirely redone - tub, toilet, marble bath surround, vanity and floor. They provided an accurate quote, and were great at coordinating all the work that needed to be done. They kept us informed every step of the way and were consistently on time and professional. About a week after the job was completed, they even called to see how everything was. I've NEVER had a contractor ask me if I was satisfied with the work. This was such a pleasure working with them. I would highly, recommend them for any remodel you may be considering. read more

The most efficient, honest company. Highly recommend. Super friendly and accommodating! Our house is amazing now!

I asked him if he could do a list of things, and I told him I need a new gate, and I was about to go on with the list, when he stopped listening to me and said he does not do the small work and hung up. I just bought a house and needed many repairs throughout the house, but he just lost a customer by being rude. I would not recommend calling this person. read more

Rick, Tyson, and Jose did a great job with our new windows. They are very nice and respectful with great skills. :)

Expertise and integrity are the two most important traits in a contractor. Bruce Construction excels in both. Rick and Tyson are my go-to guys because they know what they're doing, and I trust them completely. I depend on them not just to do the work well, but also to give me advice on what needs to be done and what doesn't need to be done. Recently, Rick advised me against doing a major renovation on a rental property even though it meant less work (and money) for his company. He helped me focus on what really needed to be done for me to get the most return on my investment. I am grateful for his sound advice. In addition to understanding budgets, Rick makes sure the construction site is kept clean and is safe. I always feel confident that my property is safe when Bruce Construction is working there. Rick's background in law enforcement really ensures that this is a major focus for his crew and his sub-contractors. Rick also returns calls promptly and makes sure that things get done right and on time. I will always use Bruce Construction, and I highly recommend them. read more

In 2012 a car crashed into our house. After fighting with the proper insurance companies I contacted Bruce Construction. Rick Bruce told me that he would be at the house at 09:00am the next day. Having dealt with contractors in the past it has been my experience that if they say 09:00am be ready to wait at least an hour. Well to my surprise Rick arrived at 08:45am. Rick took notes and told me that they could do the work and have it looking like it did before the crash. Rick was there for about 30 minutes and told me he would write up the estimate and put it in the mail. About a week later we received the estimate and it was very reasonable. When it was time for the work to begin Rick told me that he would have his crew there the following Friday at 08:00am. Friday rolled around and to my amazement the crew arrived at 07:40am. As it turned out the crew was Ricks son Tyson Bruce. Now I must say that Tyson is incredibly professional, courteous and exceptionally polite. Tyson Started working and was done with the first part of job by 11:00am. Tyson couldn't continue the work because he was waiting for the City's building inspector to come out and check his work and make sure that it's up to code. Tyson phoned me and explained exactly what the wait was for and what was going to happen next. A few days later Tyson returned and continued his exceptional work. After each step the building inspector had to come out and sign off on the job performed. After the construction work was complete Tyson told me that the plaster contractor had to come to do the plaster work. I was told that he would be there at 08:00am. When I arrived home from work at 07:00am the plaster contractor was parked infront of the house having his morning coffee. He asked if he could start early but he didn't want to disturb anyone inside the house. He returned a few days later, after the inspector checked the work, again he arrived early and sat drinking his coffee until I returned home. He did the stucco repair and he matched to old stucco perfectly. He told me that the new plaster and stucco could not be painted for a few weeks until the stucco is completely dry and set. Tyson returned three weeks later and finished painting. A few years ago someone tagged the side of our house and in our attempt to remove the graffiti paint came off and the tag stood out even though it was now two different shades of white. Well Tyson not only painted the new stucco but he also painted over the removed tag that was not near the new stucco. with the exception of the new paint being vividly white and the old paint is dirty you can not tell that a car crashed through the wall of our house. Bruce construction was fantastic. Even the building inspector made a comment that Bruce Construction really does outstanding work. They always cleaned up and never left any mess. The drywall on the inside of the garage that was ruined by the car crash was also repaired and finished and now you can't even tell that a car had crashed through side wall of our garage. I would hire Bruce Construction in a heart beat for any construction or remodeling project that comes up. I found it very refreshing to deal with Tyson Bruce who was always incredibly respectful, nice and friendly and was always early and made sure that we were aware of what was going on during every step of the work. read more

Hooray! We just had a good experience with a contractor...it was Bruce Construction. Rick Bruce met with us and listened intently to our kitchen and bathroom remodel ideas which had been languishing with another contractor who was not returning phone calls or giving us a start date for our job. Rick quickly produced a written contract spelling out start and completion dates, a payment schedule, code and permit requirements, and he explained the process line by line. We felt comfortable knowing exactly what was going to happen and when. Soon our 60 year old all original pink and blue tiled bathroom was being transformed. The dark shower cave with a low ceiling was extended two feet upward to create a bright, airy, open feeling with easy-to-clean cultured marble walls. That suggestion by Rick, when implemented, opened up the room beautifully. Our kitchen demolition revealed unexpected dry rot caused by 60 year old leaky counter top tile grout. Rick quickly provided a solution by designing a new cabinet configuration that was perfect for our storage needs and now everything is so easy to find. At our request, Rick and his son, Tyson, and a sheet metal contractor also moved a wall behind the stove area back two feet. They then relocated a furnace vent pipe and added a range hood and fan that would vent through the roof. The kitchen is now more spacious with new electrical outlets, lights, fan and cabinets giving us a great work station for clean and vented cooking. Watching the progress of this transformation was impressive and Rick's communication with us was excellent. He answered and returned phone calls, e-mailed us with updates and kept us informed about which inspectors and subcontractors would be in our home. We felt secure knowing the contents of the house were protected and our belongings were safe. Recommending Rick and Tyson Bruce of Bruce Construction is a pleasure because their business-like and friendly manner is combined with experience and competence as reliable top quality contractors. We were very impressed with their adaptability in being able to work with our needs--even details like keeping the garage door closed so the cat wouldn't get outside and setting meeting times that worked well for us. At the job's conclusion, Rick provided all signed permit and inspection forms, subcontractor invoices, and clear itemized invoices for his work Just talk with them and you'll be pleasantly surprised that your remodel work can be done so well in every aspect. We heartily recommend the work of Rick and Tyson Bruce of Bruce Construction. read more

Tyson at Bruce Construction and his team did a fantastic job on a total kitchen remodel. They are total professionals, their craftsmanship exceptional, they accommodated all of our requirements, kept a clean working environment, and met our timelines. read more

We have used Bruce Construction twice and would never use anyone else now, especially after what I went through to find Rick Bruce for our first project, the complete gutting and remodeling of a large kitchen. He was the seventh contractor that I interviewed and got bids from, and I was about to give up after the first six when I found Rick through Diamond Certified. Even though I had written up a detailed scope of work, specifying the products to be used, and provided that along with my layout drawing to each contractor, the first six bids ranged from $45,000 to $135,000! (That's not including the $19,000 for appliances that we were purchasing directly.) They say you get what you pay for, but what we got with Rick was the world's most perfect kitchen. His $57,000 bid was not the lowest but close to it, and more importantly he stuck to it; there were no add-ons like those in so many friends' remodeling nightmares. I can't imagine what more I would have gotten from the higher bidders except being taken to the cleaners. Whereas none of the first six contractors I interviewed inspired any real confidence, Rick did, and his background was value-added. When you have a contractor, his crew, his subcontractors, and their crews coming in and out of your home, you have to worry about their honesty and your security, but as a retired S.F. police captain, Rick would be worried about that, too. We were totally comfortable with him and his workmen in every way, and they were the neatest construction crew I've ever seen, vacuuming and cleaning up before leaving each day. Also, the logistics were a challenge in that our condo is on the sixth floor of a 12-story building, so Rick and his crew had to coordinate use of the elevator and underground garage access with our homeowners association's resident manager, but all of that was done with efficiency and grace. When I asked Rick how a policeman learned to do remodeling, he related how, before he started remodeling his first house (his own), he sat down and read the entire Time-Life series of books covering all aspects of remodeling, a virtual encyclopedia of home construction. I respected that (I had taught myself to cook from the old Time-Life cookbook series covering the world's cuisines), and it suggested to me that here was a person who was thorough and careful and patient and would bring these attributes to our kitchen remodel. And I was right. There was only one glitch: the freezer door of the side-by-side refrigerator-freezer would not open all the way to 180. Although the fault was that of the cabinet company that did the final detailed cabinet/appliance layout, failing to add a spacer, Rick calmly went about making adjustments to make it all work out fine. This past month, we again hired Bruce Construction - now run by Rick and his son Tyson - for a small job in our home office, the removal of a 2-foot-long wall and a bank of built-in shelves, which would require refinishing the ceiling and remaining walls behind the shelves, moving some cables, etc. Compared to our kitchen remodel, this job was so tiny that I was almost afraid that offering it to Rick would insult him, but no, he took it very seriously, and it was completed quickly and easily and at what I am totally confident is a fair price, even though I never obtained another bid. Why bother? read more

Best Contractors Ever!! Rick and his son Tyson did a fabulous job on our home remodel. They did a full kitchen and bath remodel plus other extras throughout our new house. The kitchen involved removing a wall with some extra structural support along with the entire ceiling removed for new electrical and lighting. They were on time with everything and even finished BEFORE their estimated end date! All their sub contractors were professional and thorough. Tim from Spectrum Systems SF, was also great, as Rick had him do all the updated electrical in our home. Rick and Tyson both work hard every day, even on the WEEKENDS to make sure the job is done. They were on the job by 7am every morning and were great at communicating with us daily. Rick has a great contract system, as he lists everything line by line and lays it all out on the table from day one. No extra costs. They have skill, talent and are extremely professional. We would recommend Bruce Construction to anyone who would ask for a great Contractor. If we could, we would give them 10 stars!! Thanks to Rick & Tyson, we have a beautiful home and were able to move in before our wedding day!! :) :) read more

Very great! Very professional! Very respectful of your home! They work hard and fast, and their work is high quality. Definitely would recommend them first to anyone who needs any work done. read more

Bruce Construction recently completed a bathroom remodel for us, and we are very pleased with the results. During the initial job inspection and quote process Rick was helpful and informative about how we could reduce the costs of the job without compromising the quality of the final result. Throughout the job itself, Rick and Tyson were friendly, professional, and easy to work with. As other reviewers have stated, they kept the work area clean and minimized impact on our daily life. Most importantly, it was clear that they knew what they were doing, and that the job was well done. They will certainly be our first choice should we do any further remodeling and I will recommend Bruce construction to friends should the opportunity arise. read more

Rick Bruce covered every aspect of the gutting of the center of our house to fix and remodel the bathroom, from updating costs as he went, to asking for confirmation before making final installations of everything from ceiling fan to towel racks. He handled the unpleasant surprises in our walls, floor, and ceiling, and also had his crew complete other jobs in the house, such as installing a new back door. The workmen were respectful, the management of the many SF city inspectors was professional, and everyone did their best to clean up at the end of every day. they also set things up as conveniently as possible so we could be comfortable on weekends. I highly recommend this company for any home remodel work! read more

I had to get an estimate for some water damage that occurred in my house. I searched for a local construction company and called Bruce Construction without knowing anything about them. I spoke to Tyson and he was very courteous and helpful on the phone. When he went to the house to do the estimate he was extremely knowledgeable and determined that what the insurance company said was causing the water damage, was incorrect. He spent an adequate amount of time at our home and really investigated the issue. He sent us a write up of his determination and he followed up several times to find out if we needed anything else. If we ever need another estimate or major construction work, we will definitely call Bruce Construction. Thank you for all of your help! read more
