Refresh & Build

Sam is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He bid out our project promptly, and took the time to explain everything in detail. Unfortunately, due to unforseen circumstances (discovery of asbestos + foundation issues), the timing and scope of our project will likely change, so we have not hired him for the job initially described, but this was certainly not his fault! He took the time to review the structural engineer's report, and encouraged us to get a detailed plan from the engineer before moving forward with any work. We hope to work with him in the future, but since I'm not sure how long it will take us to sort everything out, just thought I should post this now. Thanks,...

Refresh and Build remodeled the kitchen, family room, and 3 bathrooms of our 100-year-old house in San Francisco. We are very pleased with the outcome and highly appreciate the quality of work done. Sam, the project manager, gently guided us through the renovation process. We described our vision to Sam, and he worked with us on the design as well as patiently helping make many stylistic decisions ranging from choice of cabinets to countertops to floor and wall tile. One of the most important elements to our remodel was the cabinetry. The cabinetmaker required 3 months to make and deliver the cabinets, so it was essential that there were no errors in ordering. Sam carefully measured t...

Refresh and Build recently completed renovations to my Hayes Valley (San Francisco) condo including a complete bathroom remodel, new floors throughout, new light fixtures, and a several other modifications. I selected R & B because of excellent online reviews and a reasonable initial estimate. In fact, R & B’s bid was about ½ of the other bid I received—for the same job! So, the decision was easy—and it proved to be the right decision. Sam, the project manager, was personable, flexible, and accommodating. He provided me with a wide choice of items and materials from which to choose. He was especially attentive to the cost of various fixtures and supplies and did push high-end items. The work...

I have worked with Sam of Refresh and Build on several projects and am writing this review to express my utmost satisfaction with their work. As a person who values professionalism, I was thoroughly impressed by their commitment and attention to detail. From the initial stages of projects to their completion, their team consistently exhibited exemplary organization, coordination and problem-solving skills. They communicated and worked with us throughout the projects. The efforts they put forth in keeping a clean construction site was a sign of their professionalism and ownership of their work. I believe this contributed to the safety, efficiency, and a professional environment. I would hig...

I had a great experience with Sam and the Refresh & Build crew! From the moment I first met him, he was kind enough to take off his shoes, very kind in explaining the process, asking how much I wanted to be involved in the design or have him take the lead (I let him lead). From there I pulled together a [Sensitive Date Hidden], he sent me options for materials and handled all of the scheduling with the crew, inspections, etc. I was pretty hands off with the whole time, and am in love with the result!
