E.J., San Francisco, CA – Gus Esquivel added a bathroom to our San Francisco garage. We were looking for something straightforward, and Gus’s bid was less expensive than the other two contractors we consulted. They had suggested designs that were more elaborate than we desired. Gus truly listened to our needs and delivered exactly what we envisioned. He completed the job promptly and adhered to the project quote without any unexpected costs.
Encouraged by this positive experience, I hired Gus to construct a large, wooden fence in our backyard. On this occasion I didn’t seek additional bids because I had come to trust Gus’s fairness and sensible pricing. He did an excellent job. Organized, trustworthy, and meticulous, Gus has been a pleasure to work with.
Dr. P.D., San Francisco, CA – Our building’s HOA hired Gus’ company some years back to do a building-wide seismic and siding upgrade project. The HOA members were very happy with the results and with the experience of working with Gus and his team. As such, I hired Gus directly to do the total renovation of my personal unit. The results of the renovation were so pleasing that we continue to use Gus for other projects concerning my unit, including upcoming projects. Gus expertly coordinated the planning and permitting of these projects, and the execution. The quality of the work is exceptional, and Gus’ professionalism and availability are exactly what one wants from ones contractor/builder.
Dr. R.E., Berkeley, CA – Esquivel Construction skillfully managed the remodel of the entire third floor of our Berkeley residence. The building is over a century old, and required a sophisticated and sensitive approach; for example, a massive brick chimney dominated the middle of the space and had to be entirely removed. Without the aid of an architect, they transformed it into a charming living space with two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a dining area. My wife and I are tremendously pleased with the quality of the work. The crew was very pleasant and interacting with them was a joy. Considering the superior quality of the work, I would emphatically recommend Esquivel Construction.

J.R., San Francisco, CA – I recently had the opportunity to convert an unfinished garage in San Francisco to turn it into a functional living space with a bedroom, small kitchen, and dining area. My goal was to create several rooms that did not feel like a garage while not incurring substantial expenses.
Upon hearing a positive review from a friend, we hired Esquivel Construction for the project. The crew proved to be hardworking and consistently onsite daily, which significantly contributed to the momentum of the project.
The culmination was a space that perfectly matched what we planned, completed in less time than anticipated, and for the exact cost of the project’s quote. I would unreservedly recommend Gus for any house remodel, no matter what the scale.
G.A., Kentfield, CA – Among the many projects done on our home by Esquivel Construction, 2 large projects stand out. The replacement of our front door made an outstanding improvement to the curb appeal of our home. The other major project was installing an 18 ft. bi-fold door which allowed us to connect our backyard area to the patio and living space in our house, creating a true California indoor outdoor feel. From permits to structural issues, Gus handled everything with the utmost professionalism. Gus and his crew were extremely neat and organized which allowed us to live in our home while work was being done. Esquivel Construction has truly transformed our home. We highly recommend Esquivel Construction, and we look forward to using them for our next project.

N.G., San Francisco, CA – We’ve known Gus for over 20 years, beginning when he worked to remodel 2 homes across the street from us. We had a chance to see his work along the way and it was an easy choice to hire him. We’ve used him 3 times: to paint our master bedroom, to completely remodel our kitchen, and to paint our entry foyer. We have referred him to our friends and family, and we will almost certainly use him again.
Gus frequently makes suggestions during a project that improve our plans — we have found those that suggestions always end up being great ideas.
Y.J., San Francisco, CA – Gus was wonderful to work with. He is thoughtful, responsive, professional, and takes pride in his work. We have used Gus and his team for multiple projects. Each time he understood our asks and helped us understand our options and highlighted potential obstacles we might have to overcome. Gus was always pragmatic in his recommendations but sets a high standard for his work! I have seen him personally refinish a surface to make sure he (and us his clients) would be happy. He is a trusted partner that has helped make our house a home that we will be using again!
A.L., Marin County, CA – Gustavo Esquivel remodeled my family room fireplace and garage. He was wonderful to work with, very friendly and he and his crew did great work. He was recommended by a neighbor who was also very happy with his work. I would happily recommend him!
Dr. M.R., Bernal Heights, San Francisco, CA – Over the past 10 years I have had 3 different contractors work on my house to try to fix a large leak that went from my living room deck into my downstairs bedroom. Despite many attempts it was not until Esquivel Construction came along that the problem is solved once and for all. Mr. Esquivel was recommended to me by my close friend and I knew from the first meeting that he was going to fix the problem. He is the type of contractor that “does it right the first time.” No cutting corners. He is not only reasonably priced but very smart and good at solving all types of challenging problems . His crew is multi-talented and efficient. We have been able to stay in our house during construction because everything is clean and organized. I feel very lucky to have met Mr. Esquivel and his crew.
N.K., Cole Valley, San Francisco, CA – We could not recommend Gus and his team more, and feel so fortunate to have worked with him on our complete kitchen demo and multi-bath remodel. As first time renovators, Gus worked with us from the beginning, advising on architectural plans and permits, recommending material vendors, and patiently walking us through the many decisions that come up as part of a big remodel.
Gus and his entire team were professional, on time and on budget – they put incredible care and attention to detail into the work they do, and it shows! We look forward to working with Gus on future projects, as his work is impeccable and has transformed our home.
