    From the start Eshel with Happy Bay were fantastic to work with. We hired Happy bay to do a major remodel in our master bathroom and a minor remodel in our downstairs half bath. They were very professional, and were always prompt when responding to the million questions we had due to it being the first remodel we have ever done. Eshel's crew was very kind and hardworking, and were always sure to get our input when making any final decisions in the space. Not only were they great when it came to the execution of the project, Eshel was always willing to help guide us on our design decisions, and on many occasions we were glad that we took his advice!

    I hired Eshel and his team at Happy Bay Construction to remodel my bathroom. I got a number of quotes to do the work and while they were not the least expensive, their pricing and estimate was very fair, competitive and clear.
    Throughout the project, Eshel and the team listened to me, got creative when needed and went the extra mile to do the work (well) within the promised scope. What's more, I knew what was happening at all times. Eshel communicated and statused me regularly and there were no surprises.
    Eshel and Happy Bay Construction elevates the very definition of contractor! Thank you so much; I love my bathroom!

    I was very lucky to have a good friend refer them to me. I have had the pleasure to have Happy Bay Construction do work on my house prepping to sell. They did a fantastic job. They built a a deck and stairs, painted the entire inside, painted the outside, added light fixtures and more. They started on time, finished on time and the quality is top notch!

    I’m now having them do retaining walls , fence and total garden repair in my personal home as well as interior work! I’m so excited!

    It is so nice to have a company like Happy Bay that is competent and caring at the same time .

    Thank you Happy Bay Construction❤️

    Eshel and his crew were top-notch. Always on time every day, and despite the demolition and construction maintained a relatively clean space. He was very helpful with some of our color and materials decisions, and we are very happy with the quality of the work and the final product! 👍👍

    Highly recommend! Eshel and team are responsive, detail-oriented, and creative partners in the renovation process. We've done other construction projects in SF before, and Happy Bay has been our best experience by far: fantastic value and great results. Pros in project management and a pleasure to work with!

    We cannot express enough what a great experience we had working with Eshel and his team on our bathroom renovation. We got many estimates from various companies but ultimately went with Eshel for his thoroughness in listening to our needs as well his fair price point. Our initial goal with this project was to install a washer and dryer, leveraging some of the bathroom space and a nearby closet. Although we initially did not want to do a complete bathroom renovation, once Eshel provided estimates for various options it just made the most sense.

    From his initial visit, he helped us think through different scenarios and options to ensure we made the best design decisions to also match our budget.

    Once the project started things went smoothly. Eshel made sure to contact me whenever a decision needed to be made and was always very available for any questions that we had throughout the process.

    Everything turn out beautifully and we couldn’t have made a better decision to go with Happy Bay for our project. Thanks so much!

    Eshel and his team were amazing from start to finish. They were super professional and did a great job. They exceeded our expectations for carpet installation in our home. They were knowledgeable and worked hard to understand our needs. They were also flexible about the days and times we were available to meet for our estimate. The job was done on time and it looks excellent. Quality workmanship, quality material, and professional installation!

    I recommend them to anyone who wants a honest, hard-working, highly skilled, contractor, which should be everyone!

    I recently hired Happy Bay Construction to help with a variety of home improvement projects, including revamping the downstairs which includes installing a sub pump, creating an office space, and handling some important repairs. I couldn’t be more pleased with the work they did.

    From the beginning, Eshel, the owner, was excellent in communication. He was quick to respond to my questions and took the time to ensure I was always kept in the loop. It was clear that customer satisfaction was his top priority.

    The team worked efficiently and were very respectful of my home. They arrived on time each day, kept the workspace clean, and were courteous throughout the entire project.

    Here are a few highlights of the work done:

    Downstairs Revamp & Office Space Creation: The transformation was impressive! They completely revamped the downstairs by installing a sub pump that worked impressively during the atmospheric river and created a functional office space that perfectly suits my needs.
    Wiring & Networking: They re-routed the wiring, so the modem now works seamlessly at the back of the house, which was a huge improvement.
    Sump Pump Installation: They installed a sump pump to prevent water from collecting in the basement, addressing an ongoing concern I had.
    Lighting & Electrical Work: The team rewired and installed multiple lighting systems throughout the house, all done to perfection. The new lighting really brightened up the space.
    Odd Jobs & Repairs: They also took care of numerous smaller tasks like minor repairs and painting rooms, all of which were handled efficiently and with great attention to detail.
    I really appreciated that Eshel and the team were flexible and open to taking on a variety of tasks, from bigger installations to those smaller jobs that often get overlooked.

    In terms of pricing, everything was transparent and fair, with no hidden surprises. Payments can be received by credit card or cash online, which are great options. They completed the project on time, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

    Overall, I highly recommend Happy Bay Construction for any home remodeling or repair needs. Eshel and his team were professional, skilled, and truly made sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I would absolutely hire them again for future projects!

    Eshel and the Team are the best of the best. They delivered high quality work and best communication. They are thorough, very knowledgable with working with the HOA and County/City for permit. They went above and beyond to get things done, and they did it right. My new deck looks so beautiful. Eshel and Brittney, thank you!! I look forward to working with you again in the future.

    Eshel Chardon and his company did an excellent job of building my self standing patio cover. He was able to negotiate the difficult permit process and finished the project on-time and on budget. Eshel is quick to respond and stays on top of all the work. Eshel and his company has my highest recommendation.

    We went with Happy Bay construction for our 3 month carport and driveway project based largely on reviews and their comparatively reasonable quote for the project. Upon meeting Eshel and Ali, we knew customer service and communication were as important to them as it was for us.

    Their management of our project was exemplary. We were kept informed of each step along the way. Although they must have had other projects occurring simultaneously, their attention to ours was as we had hoped–progress was continuous. The only delays we recall were waiting for the rain to cease before pouring the cement and a brief delay waiting for county inspectors to approve footings. Eshel and Ali made sure we knew about the delays in advance by personally coming over to let us know. Face to face communication was the most common form of communication and frequent reviews of each phase of the project gave us the confidence that we would get exactly what we wanted. We made a couple of design changes along the way. Eshel let us know the pros and cons matter of factly and was creative about options to achieve our goal. It was clear his aim was to produce a product that we would be proud of.

    We were most impressed with the care and pride each member of their team had for their work. This is a rare sight and it was a joy to see. Through the duration of the project, our neighbors shared their amazement of the progress and workmanship of this team. The project was completed on time, with time to spare, and on budget. Needless to say, we love our new carport and driveway as well as the experience of working with such a caring group of professionals. Thank you Eshel, Ali, Aldo and your team. It was truly a pleasure.

    We needed to replace our porch after discovering rot while painting the front-stairs. We looked around for different quotes, there were very low and the very high. Happy Bay Construction came in on the moderate price scale. Eshel & Ali's team were professional in preforming all aspects of the job. We had to order our security door which had taken 2 mos. to receive. The team was long done finishing the porch project, but their team came back even after fully paid. Eshel, Ali & their team has the upmost INTEGRITY. It is absolutely refreshing to finally find someone that has such professionalism and concerns in your projects. Thank you guys!
    Sincerely,
    David Williams

    We hired HB Construction for two jobs - a deck and bathroom - and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were of the highest standards. We had minor issues on both jobs, which were corrected satisfactorily at no additional cost. The workers were both cordial and respectful of our home. If you’re looking for a contractor, you won’t find anyone better than Happy Bay Construction.

    When I tell you that this is THE best construction company— I mean it with my whole heart. This group of individuals not only went above and beyond our dream of a studio apartment, but completely blew us away with their efficiency, kindness, and maximization of such a small space. My mother was the head of telling all the things she wanted to for the space, and brother duo Eshel and Ali were perfect for the job. As owners and brothers, they were absolutely the most professional and reliable men for the requests that we had for the space. Each and every single detail was attended to; additionally with such accuracy and precision they brought the entire space to life. We had a pretty tight timeline of when things needed to be done, and they organized their wonderful group of workers to coordinate so that I could move in even earlier than expected. When doing a whole rennovation it can be extremely stressful and cumbersome, yet Happy Bay Construction members genuinely prioritized
    our needs and in turn, made it the most stressfree remodeling and move I’ve ever had (and ive moved three times this past year). I cannot cannot CANNOT reccomend them enough. I owe my beautiful space to their hard work. We hit the jackpot with this company and I only wish nothing but the best for future projects they have because they create the most gorgeous spaces.

    We had a great experience with Happy Bay Construction remodeling our bathroom. Eshel, our project manager, was professional, responsive, and great to work with from start to finish. Their quote was fair and transparent, and the team’s attention to detail was impressive—they made sure to accommodate all our requests without any hassle. The final result turned out even better than we imagined, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything looks. If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled team that takes pride in their work, we highly recommend them!

    Happy Bay Construction is simply THE BEST! I’m blown away by their work ethic. Their communication, thoughtfulness, ability to execute jobs in a timely fashion, quality of work and honest and fair bids is exemplary. However MOST impressive the genuine caring they take with all their jobs. YES, CARING! They listen to their customers and they care about your project. How will it look? What condition the job site will be left in? Are you happy with their work? All of this and more is what has kept me hiring them for multiple jobs.

    I originally hired Eshel, founder of Happy Bay Construction, for work on a property in San Francisco. I needed to rebuild the existing front porch and stairs as well as create a back staircase and reinforce the deck. Happy Bay showed up on time and finished the job ahead of schedule. They did such a terrific job that I hired them to paint the exterior of the property. As the house came alive, we needed to replace the driveway and build a retaining wall. This too was done in a timely fashion. There is NOTHING that Happy Bay Construction cannot provide.

    I think the best review is when the person rehires the same company for a different project. To date I have hired Happy Bay Construction on more than ten projects and they are currently finishing up a bathroom remodel in Sonoma County.

    Do not hesitate to set up a consultation and feel free to reach out to them if you need references.

    Thank you, Happy Bay Construction, for making dreams come true in a timely, honest, and caring manner. Bravo!

    I recently used Happy Bay Construction to prepare a home for sale in the Outer Richmond District in San Francisco. I could not be more pleased with the results and level of service! Eshel and Ali were excellent communicators throughout the process. The crew always arrived with a can-do attitude and produced consistent good work and on-schedule. As a local listing agent/realtor, the key is to identify contractors who do great work at fair prices to provide fantastic value for our clients. We were so happy with Happy Bay that we already recommended them to the visitors/neighbors who came through our many open houses.
    As a result, the home sold for a record price for the neighborhood. Happy Seller- Happy Buyers- Happy Realtor :)

    We are looking forward to having Happy Bay Construction aboard to prep our next listing(s)!

    Eshel and the Happy Bay team provided excellent service and craftsmanship. This was our first home renovation, and we had been warned about all the things that could go wrong, but with Eshel’s team (and maybe a little luck!) everything went smoothly without any major issues.

    The project timeline was exactly as quoted, and whenever changes came up, Eshel clearly laid out options at different price points, which made decision-making easy. We remodeled two bathrooms at the same time and also had an old dumbwaiter removed and converted into closets. The crew was professional, friendly, and respectful throughout.

    We were also on a tight deadline with a new baby on the way, and the team made the process as stress-free as possible. Even without a designer, Eshel was extremely helpful in guiding us through tile, finish, and design choices.

    We would absolutely hire Happy Bay again and highly recommend them, especially if it’s your first remodel.

    Eshel and his team were amazing. Typically hiring and working with a contractor is a nightmare but Eshel is incredibly meticulous and thoughtful in his approach and recommendations and sticks to budget and timeline estimates. I will never use another contractor as long as we live in the Bay. We’ve recommended all our friends to Happy Bay and can’t say enough good things. Coming from someone who never writes reviews, this one is worth it. Awesome team and awesome job on our project! Thank you!

    Happy Bay helped us put our home back together after it was remediated for water damage. In total they reconstructed 3 rooms, 2 closets and a bathroom. We also had them refinish our stairs.

    The communication was amazing, always fast and honest. The crew was respectful of our home, friendly, and the end results were absolutely beautiful. As with any project of this size, there were little hiccups along the way, but Eshel always addressed them quickly and made sure everything was taken care of.

    I also very much appreciate that we had the ability to pick out the finishes and colors and that they were willing to work with all the different materials... some of the other contractors we talked to when we were collecting bids seemed to only want to work with the materials that they use regularly. I love our new unique space!

    We couldn't be happier!
