“5 stars to Decor Builders! Thank you so much to Guy and Decor Builders for remodeling my bathroom, I was thinking to do my bathroom for a very long time but I was really nervous about the process and didn’t know any contractor I could trust. Guy made it all look very easy as he explained me every step and was very detailed and patience with me, He helped me choose all the materials and also help me with his contractor discounted prices. I love my new bathroom, if you looking to renovate your home Decor Builders is the right choice.”
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.”
Chesler Construction, Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in San Francisco
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 5, 2015
“I have had the pleasure of building with Chesler Construction on several wonderful homes. As an architect, having the right builder working on you project is essential! Jim & Terry (as well as their entire crew) are an amazing group to work with. Innovative, accommodating and attentive. If I could have Chesler Construction build every home I design, I would be VERY happy architect! I really cannot say enough about them! Gary J Ahern, AIA”
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.”
Baron Construction and Remodeling
New & Custom Home Builders in San Francisco
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 28, 2014
“First they came and give us an estimate that we really liked, we signed the contract to do the kitchen floors. Before they started the job I ask them to give me a price for the complete kitchen remodeling. again we liked the price and we signed the contract (BTW they helped us with financing the job). during the process we found out the electrical wiring needs to be replaced mike gave us very good price on that so we let them do it. they also gave us 3D design rendering that was great, we actually could see how the kitchen will look like.. Roy Mike and the team where very helpful they answered all of our concerns and even when we change things around they where very understanding and helped us to make our dream come true. we where very impressed when all city inspection pass at the first time. we love how our kitchen came out, it looks amazing like it came out of a catalog, its like living in a mention. we will use Baron construction again to do our roof in the in the near future. they did exactly what they promise and above. we are extremely happy that we choose Baron construction and remodeling to do our kitchen.”

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%!!!”
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.”
