Featured Reviews for New & Custom Home Builders in San Francisco

Nordin Builders, Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in San Francisco
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 25, 2016
“Nordin Builders did an extensive remodel for us. The existing structure came down, but we kept the foundation and expanded the footprint (2000 sq ft became 3000 sq ft). One of Dan Nordin's greatest attributes is professionalism, providing clear and reliable communication throughout the project. The workmanship was excellent and our timeline was adhered to, finishing the WHOLE house remodel in 11 months.”
Paul Melish Builder
New & Custom Home Builders in San Francisco
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 31, 2014
“I have worked with Paul on many projects over the past four years and have never had a bad experience. Paul is highly knowledgeable about all aspects of construction, but has specialized knowledge relating to the design and construction of modular structures. I first worked with Paul on Michelle Kaufmann modular homes and was struck by the depth of preparation that Paul undertook to ensure that projects flowed as smoothly as possible. He is the only builder that I have ever met who is genuinely loved by his clients. If I was in the market for a new home, Paul Melish is the only builder that I would call.”

MacLeod Design & Construction
New & Custom Home Builders in San Francisco
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 12, 2016
“MacLeod D&C just finished rebuilding our house after a fire completely destroyed it. Other than taking longer than predicted, the project was a total success. We love the result. The design was not easy to build - odd angles all over the place and built over a swale that required a complex foundation. It took a lot of care and patience on Ian's part and the skills of several highly competent subcontractors to pull it off. Ian's professionalism, skill, and good humor made the project work - and kept us sane in the process. His ongoing relationships with the architects and his sub contractors kept communications problems to a minimum. We would definitely hire him again.”
Equity Builders Group, Inc
New & Custom Home Builders in San Francisco
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 13, 2023
“I would HIGHLY recommend Equity Builders Group for your construction plans! Jason and his crew renovated our kitchen and a few years later they made our dream of building a second story a reality. They are detail-oriented, clean, provided good advice and guidance, on-time and did their best to keep us within our budget.”

Green California Builders Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in San Francisco
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 20, 2019
“I can't say many wonderful things about Green California Builders. I wanted to built a new home and had no idea where to start in regards to design and construction permits. I heard about these guys because of my friend. I met EZ (the main project manager) after scheduling the appointment. He guided us through the entire process with ideas, advises and material selection. I liked his vision and we agree on the budget. Few days later the project started. After few months, we now have a wonderful new house. I'm so grateful to choose these guys and I recommended them 100%!!!”
