**★★★★★ — Mark English Architects, AIA, Sept. 2026**

> We have worked with Ethan with Archetype for close to a decade on a number of high detail, high design single family residences in San Francisco. Ethan's background in design makes it easy to communicate about the importance of great workmanship and "look and feel" in home construction. We will continue to keep Archetype at the top of our list when it comes to residential construction projects in the Bay Area.

**★★★★★ — Paul Kitchen / Nina Hatvany, Aug. 2026**

> We have sold several properties that Ethan has developed and constructed, and have always been impressed by the combination of thoughtful design and excellent execution in his work. Ethan works closely with the architect to develop designs that are both considered and cost-effective, and he is always willing to make modifications during construction to ensure that the design intent is carried through without compromising the quality of the finished product.
>
> Buyers respond very positively to the quality of Ethan’s construction, and in our experience, his projects have resulted in very few post-sale callbacks or issues.

**Comment from Archetype Construction Corp:**

> Thank you, Paul, for such a thoughtful review. It has always been a pleasure working with you, Nina, and everyone at Team Hatvany Kitchen. I truly value your professional perspective and greatly appreciate your continued trust and support.

**★★★★★ — Winnie Liu, Aug. 2026**

> We had a great experience working with Ethan on our home remodeling project. Our project was more than just remodeling our existing house—we also added a new room, so it was a pretty big project for our family.
>
> Ethan was very easy to work with throughout the whole process. He listened to what we wanted, answered all of our questions, and was always willing to work with us when we had changes or concerns. He was also very responsive and kept us updated on the progress.
>
> We really appreciated how reliable and responsible Ethan was. He and his team did a great job and paid attention to the details.
>
> Adding a new room and remodeling our house was a big undertaking, but Ethan made the whole process much easier and less stressful for us.
>
> We are very happy with how everything turned out and really appreciate all of Ethan’s hard work. We would definitely recommend Ethan to anyone looking for a contractor, and we would absolutely work with him again on future projects!

**Comment from Archetype Construction Corp:**

> Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure working with you and your family on such an important home renovation and addition. We truly appreciate the trust you placed in us throughout the process, and we’re glad our communication, responsiveness, and attention to detail helped make the project easier and less stressful. We’re very happy that you’re pleased with the final result and would be honored to work with you again in the future.

**★★★★★ — Ann, Aug. 2026**

> We hire them to create a deck on our backyard,  replace the sharing fence with one side neighbor,  level the floor for our detached garage and replace sidings on the exterior wall facing our other side neighbor. All work was very well done, on time and efficiently. The GC gave very good suggestion as he has background in art design and has great eyes for esthetics. They also made sure to communicate with our neighbors so everyone was happy and there was minimal disturbances. This is so important in SF as all houses are so closely connected. I cannot recommend enough this company for doing your renovation. We were very happy with the outcome and really appreciate the quality work they provided.

**Comment from Archetype Construction Corp:**

> Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure working with you on the deck, fencing, garage, and exterior improvements. We truly appreciate your trust in our recommendations and are especially glad that our communication with your neighbors helped keep the project running smoothly. Thank you again for choosing Archetype Construction.we’re very happy that you’re pleased with the quality and final outcome.

**★★★★★ — John F, Aug. 2026**

> Ethan Yang and his team at Archetype Construction completed an extensive, down-to-the-studs remodel of my single-family home project.
>
> The project was substantial and complex. It included major structural and foundation work, a new concrete slab, moment frame, wall reconfiguration, floor-joist leveling, and the complete replacement of all the home’s major systems, including new 200-amp electrical service, plumbing, forced air heating, a tankless water heater, roofing, insulation and waterproofing. The work also included new windows and sliding doors, siding, flooring, drywall, bathrooms, kitchen cabinetry, countertops, tile, appliances, finishes, and interior and exterior painting.
>
> Ethan’s workmanship was of a very high standard and he has an exceptional eye for detail. He is a perfectionist in the best sense of the word and took the time to ask questions and fully understand my vision and what I was trying to achieve.
>
> His communication throughout the project was excellent. He kept me informed about progress, upcoming decisions and any changes along the way. Ethan, the architect and I worked extremely well together as a team, which was particularly important given the scale and complexity of the renovation.
>
> Despite the extensive scope of work, Ethan completed the project within budget. The finished home was exceptional, and the quality of the renovation contributed to us achieving a very strong price when we ultimately sold the property.
>
> I would highly recommend Ethan and the team at Archetype Construction.
>
> John, Tanglewood LLC

**Comment from Archetype Construction Corp:**

> Thank you, John. This was a significant and rewarding transformation, and I’m very proud of what we accomplished together. It was a pleasure working with you and the architect throughout the process. I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful review and generous recommendation.

**★★★★★ — nickbn, Aug. 2026**

> We recently completed an extensive residential remodel in San Francisco with Ethan at Archetype Construction, and working with him was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We partnered with Ethan very early on—when we only had preliminary architectural drawings—and he worked seamlessly alongside our structural engineer to execute our vision. He helped navigate us through the city's permitting process and ensured we passed all inspections smoothly.
>
> What truly sets Ethan apart is his dedication to his clients. He went out of his way to ensure that every decision we made reflected our ultimate vision and that what he was building was exactly what we wanted. The meticulous attention to detail and the exceptional, quality craftsmanship from his entire crew are evident in every corner of the project.
>
> Remodels always come with unavoidable hiccups, but Ethan’s communication was excellent throughout. He has a gift for explaining complicated or difficult situations clearly and helped guide us to make thoughtful, informed choices whenever we were faced with a crossroads.
>
> Now that we are moved in, we see and appreciate the benefits of the careful work Ethan and his crew put into our home every single day. If you want a contractor who acts as a true partner, we cannot recommend Ethan and Archetype Construction highly enough.

**Comment from Archetype Construction Corp:**

> Thank you so much, Nick, for your thoughtful and generous review. It was a true pleasure working with you both and being part of the transformation of your home. We sincerely appreciate the trust you placed in us throughout the process, from the early planning stages through construction and completion.
