Constraction reviews in San Francisco, California

They converted our garage into a beautiful ADU. Given how stressful renovation projects can be, we appreciated how straightforward they were about timelines, costs, and tradeoffs. If things came up that were unintended, they communicated quickly and never made changes unless we explicitly signed off.

They were very responsive and went above and beyond where they could (e.g. helping to build the murphy bed that needed to be drilled into the floorboards).

The team made sure we were satisfied with the work at every stage.

CLOSED - BANKRUPT AND OWING EVERYBODY IN TOWN

A very unique and interesting store that offers antiques, jewelry and interior design services.
I have bought many items from the owner, Ina Nouel, over the years as well as used her interior design services for my private residence. I have recommended her services to my friends, who are extemely happy with the results. I believe that the best recommendation is the word of mounth and Ina certainly gets a lot of recommendations for her unique sensibilities, excellent communications and great results!

They have a keen eye in seeing what's possible for a physical space by taking into account the likes and dislikes of the owners as well as being effective in explaining every detail in the project plan. They see a project from the beginning to the end and find a work around issues that occur during a remodel. They managed scheduling construction work, ordering new appliances, light fixtures, and furnishing to beautiful effect. I am quite happy with the end result!

Exceptional work. Very professional and helpful. Very easy to work with.

100 per cent satisfied with quality of work. Started and finished work within timeframe. Very skilled craftsmanship. Helped with design , materials and appliances for kitchen. Good communication throughout the project. Mike pays attention to details and will take steps to improve whenever needed. We are enjoying our beautiful functional kitchen.

Mike did a full kitchen remodeling job for us. He provided a clear cost and time estimate for the job. He is professional and pleasant to work with. He completed the job on scheduled. I highly recommend Mike for all home improvement projects.

Mike remodeled (down to the studs) both our kitchen and master bathroom, and we are very happy with the end results for both. As he does a great deal of the work himself rather than subcontractors, we were able to deal with him directly on everything and to know who was responsible for what. Mike communicated promptly with us, showed up when he said he would, and consistently responsive to our questions and concerns. He was flexible with scheduling his work when we needed that. I HIGHLY recommend him for these kinds of remodels and am more than willing to talk with any prospective client of his about the work he did for us in more detail (ask him for my contact information and pictures).

Mike worked closely with us to remodel our bathroom and kitchen. He was very attentive to our ideas and made sure everything was in order before he began. When we had supply issues, he was flexible and came back to finish as the last appliances arrived. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I was very good place it's something design

Terrible service, everyone was rude and snarky

This was the third project Houseworks did for us - this time a kitchen remodel. Their work is excellent and the team was great to work work. Beautiful job. Will use them again.

Jeff, Mike, and all of the Houseworks team made my house renovation a success! They guided me through all of the numerous decisions to make when doing a whole house remodel. I LOVE my new kitchen!! Thank you.

We love our new space! The whole team is professional, attentive, highly skilled and they deliver above and beyond expectations. We couldn't have asked for better partners throughout the whole process. I simply can't say enough about the team at Houseworks and we will use them for any and all future projects.

I have worked with Jeff Kann at HOUSEworks on multiple projects over the past several years. His focus on the clients objectives, ,professional and honest approach align with my values. I find his input on construction costs, ways and means to be invaluable in ensuring that the clients projects can be built without sacrificing my design intent. His company consists of building professionals who build with attention to detail and first class craftsmanship.
I look forward to working with Jeff on future projects and gladly recommend his firm to others.

They manage a construction project from concept through construction, working collaboratively with me as the Architect to ensure that my design is realized in the final built project. Often times, it is only because of Houseworks excellence that my most creative design details are implemented with such care and precision. They are outstanding communicators and managers, engaging both the Clients and myself as the Architect throughout the Design + Build process. They use their construction know-how to quickly adapt unique field conditions often present in Remodeling in San Francisco.

I look forward to our ongoing relationship, and enthusiastically recommending Houseworks to my clients.

From my first meeting with Jeff, and throughout the construction process, he and his team were a pleasure to work with. His construction crew and all the sub-contractors were professional, courteous and highly skilled. I would use the Houseworks team again and recommend them anyone considering construction work on their home.

We have used Houseworks since 2008, when we first bought our house and found extensive undetected dry rot. They kept us informed of the changing scope of work and developing and executing the repairs and did a wonderful job of restoring the façade of the house to its original state.

In 2015 we contacted them for a major kitchen and bathroom remodel. We had ideas and with owner Jeff Kann’s guidance we finalized the plans and began the remodel. The crew from top to bottom are professional, competent and responsive. They kept us informed of the schedule of activities and cleaned up every day. They were very considerate and kept the parts of the house not involved in the remodel as clean and untouched.

They have many contacts, for example, a structural engineer for earthquake retrofit consultation and a consultant for a greywater system. Houseworks also has strong partnerships with quality vendors and subcontractors.

The budget was on our high end, however there were no surprises, we got what we wanted, they guarantee their work and we are very happy with the results. We would highly recommend Houseworks for both larger projects like these and have used them more recently for smaller projects.

We've had the pleasure of working with HOUSEWORKS since 2015 on several projects. The first, and largest, was a major remodel of the main floor of our home, where we revamped the floorplan to move our kitchen and a bathroom. As projects like this tend to go, there were some surprises along the way, but the team handled them with the utmost professionalism and grace. Most importantly, they still finished the project on time, which was especially critical for us, as we were expecting our first child within weeks of the anticipated end date of the project. All of the crew members were exceptionally friendly and were excellent at keeping the space clean at the end of every workday. Jeff in particular is a dream to work with - no question is too small, and he is wonderful at keeping open lines of communication. HOUSEWORKS transformed our home into the dream space we had always envisioned, and because of that, they're our go-to contractor for other jobs, including a few smaller exterior projects since our larger remodel. Our only regret is not working with them sooner!

We used Houseworks for a home remodel in San Francisco. After long research and frustration about how contractors communicate in this market Jeff was very responsive and frank in his assessment of the project. His timeline and cost assessment were more realistic than others. The workers were always polite and nice to work with when we were on site. The quality of the work was always excellent; the finished carpentry, the painting, the plumbing, tile work. We had two bathrooms done and added a staircase and two bedrooms thus converting a garage into separate bedrooms for the kids. The materials used were top rate. The designer was very competent and helpful in picking out fixtures and colors. After a few months only things are small issues like a light switch and a little touch up so overall very impressed with quality of work; at no time was I pressed to think I could have found better subcontractors and scheduled the work better myself. I would recommend them to friends and family. Remodel work is expensive and so I am glad I went with Houseworks as I felt I could trust their competence and follow through in a difficult market. Jeff and his team are good natured and professional in demeanor which I found refreshing in a bewildering process of city regs and scheduling subs. They even tried to make things as square and right as possible in the most crooked city on many levels...I am glad we used them for our work.

Excellent experience with Houseworks on a major remodel of a Victorian in San Francisco. The scope was very extensive and involved, and Houseworks handled it with total professionalism from start to finish. The team manged to work through convoluted permitting issues and executed the work with excellent quality workmanship and, perhaps most amazingly, totally on schedule. The lead on-site builder was stellar (highly capable, efficient, excellent attention to detail), the subcontractors chosen for the job were all top notch, and the project head was a complete professional throughout with great communication, sound judgment, and consistent responsiveness. Highly recommend Houseworks for a job done right and done on time.

Housework remodeled our Kitchen and Patio. From start to finish, communication with their team felt smooth. Everything was well organized and they paid a lot of attention to details. The whole process of a major renovation ended up being much easier than we had expected. Were very happy with the quality of the work and the final results!
