If you are looking for a builder don't look no more. Just call this guys.
Sam was really helpful, specially in decision with design of the ADU.
I will highly recommend Urban builders &
Remodeling to anyone.
Sam was involved from the very beginning in all the project aspects from the design, planing, coredinating with all the trades, city, inspection and he is all around great guy. When you do a project that going to take a very long time you want to make sure the people you work with are like friends. And this is exactly how it feels to work with Sam and Amit the designer.

Kevin and his team did an incredible job on our window project. The pictures do not do the work justice. If you are looking for a great general contractor who will help to make your vision a realty, look no further than The Urban Builder!

I had recently inherited a very rundown victorian in SF and when I decided to remodel the house I of course asked around to friends who I knew had had work done. Two friends of mine who had recently redone their entire house whole-heartedly recommended The Urban Builder and I'm so glad they did! Their bid was very competitive and I could tell right away Kevin and his crew of subs and carpenters could get the job done. It's just a feeling when your are meeting very capable people.

The project lasted about 6 months and included adding another bedroom and bathroom.. And being that the house was built in 1905 and hadn't been maintained in the most thorough manner there was a lot of work to do. Kevin's team was incredibly reliable and efficient and I really liked working with all of them and seeing everyone as the project progressed. Kevin was very upfront and honest about different issues that came up during the project and I felt I was in very good hands. At the end I was extremely satisfied with the result and have even used The Urban Builder for various projects recently including a new hardwood deck. 5 stars all the way.

My wife and I hired Kevin and his team to do build customized shelving, closets, put in new lighting, and put in doors in our bedrooms. Kevin was fantastic at managing his team and keeping the project on-budget and on-time. Best of all, the work has very high-quality. I highly recommend him.

Kevin is fantastic. I've hired him for two houses. In addition to being fantastic at remodels he always comes up with great suggestions on ways to make the look better. He has an architect's vision! His prices are fair and he has always finished on time and in budget.

Kevin and company did a mid size remodel on the upstairs of our Edwardian, outer Richmond home. We added a bathroom, remodeled an existing one and created a master suite. Outstanding work, no hassles, and creative problem solving added up to a great experience. Subs were by and large very professional. And Kevin was the lowest bidder. I would recommend him without hesitation for any size project.

The short version:
Kevin and his crew are AMAZING! I'd hire him for another project again in a heartbeat.

The long version:
After talking with 5 contractors, we selected Kevin to do a major house remodel that included gutting my entire house to the studs and rebuilding it with all new plumbing, electrical, floors, walls, ceilings, lighting, cabinets, tile, fixtures, etc. You get the picture. Our project took about 4 months from start to finish.

While Kevin wasn't the absolute cheapest bid, his was highly competitive. The thing that sold us on Kevin was his excellent interpersonal skills and the other great references we talked to before deciding.

Kevin started and finished on time and on budget. He was ultra reasonable about making changes and adjustments during our project, and even suggested several changes that greatly enhanced our finished project.

Kevin has an eye for small details, but knows the big picture too. And, he's an all-around nice guy to work with on a project.

Note: We also worked with Nicole Garcia Designs (http://www.yelp.com/biz/nicole-garcia-design-san-francisco) and KitchenSync (http://www.yelp.com/biz/kitchensync-san-francisco).

Executive Summary: Major remodel: Kevin was the low bid, complete on-time and on budget to the highest quality with no unpleasant surprises.

Detailed Version:
Scope: We the middle flat in a 100-year-old Victorian, and needed to put in heat (it had none - needed to install a furnace, run gas and electric, drop the ceiling, run ducts, etc). Also, studs-out remodel of the kitchen and bathroom, and added a second half-bath.
Result: Kevin has a ton of experience with old Victorians, so there were very few surprises (behind the walls, for example). He was able to match period details so everything looks like it belongs. His estimate was reasonable and he finished on-time and on-budget. There were minor scope increases along the way, and he never surprised us with any change orders. For major stuff, it was clear when something had been out of the original scope, and he gave us fair reasonable estimates to do that stuff too. He wasn't trying to nickel-and-dime us. He really went above-and-beyond to make sure we were happy with all the work.
