They have remodeled two of our bathrooms and built an outdoor stairs as well as other small jobs. We are thrilled at the results! ### All 55 reviews **★★★★★ — Ned Gelhaar, March 2026** > I worked with Zach and South Fork Construction on a BIG remodel (nearly a rebuild) of my 6-bedroon house in Camino, and I couldn’t be happier with the process and the result. Zach and Cidney gave us great advice on design issues and were very patient with our many changes. He and his crews/subcontractors were easy to work with and did excellent work at very fair rates. Zach was also a strong advocate for us with a supplier and got the issue resolved quickly. I have nothing but respect for these folks and will keep going back to them in the future. **★★★★★ — Jeff Silva, Dec. 2025** > Our project was a master bathroom remodel from top to bottom. Jeff had excellent communication throughout the process. The quality of his tile work was fantastic. Jeff did the entire job himself from start to finish with some help on heavy demo or lifting days. He completed the job on time and on budget. Jeff is very professional and friendly. Highly recommend and we have already referred him to our friends and relatives. **★★★★★ — Ryan Scott, Oct. 2025** > Jeff was absolutely the best to work with and if needed, would call him again without question. > Professional yet down to earth and trustworthy from day one. > Understands the trade and able to give suggestions, opinions and quotes that proved correct and honest. > Dismantled our shower and tub and put in a walk-in spa-like shower that is now my favorite place in my house! > On top of all the biz, he was just a genuine guy that I could enjoy a quick non-work chat before he would be back to his magic. > Recommend? > Yes. **★★★★★ — James C., Oct. 2025** > Jeff and his crew were easy to work with and did excellent work! We had a vision of what we wanted and Jeff provided great guidance in how to make it happen within our budget. **★★★★★ — brian bowen, May 2025** > Shout out to South Fork Construction for doing high-quality, professional kitchen remodel. Zach was courteous, knowledgeable and very professional. His estimate was accurate, paid obsessive attention to detail, kept the area clean during remodeling, and went above and beyond in dealing with several issues in getting a new look and feel integrated into a 24 year old kitchen. I will be looking to South Fork for any future interior house remodeling. **★★★★★ — hlk00, April 2025** > We recently hired South Fork Construction to remodel all three of our bathrooms. The entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Jeff came out to do the initial consultation, but Zach was the contractor for all three bathrooms. It was such a pleasure working with Zach. I am very indecisive and changed my mind many times. Zach was so patient and made excellent suggestions. The craftsmanship was outstanding - tilework was precise, plumbing, and electrical updates were seamless! > There was great communication throughout. Zach kept the workspace very clean and was respectful of our home. He was very professional, responsive, and had great attention to detail. Zach was here long enough that he became part of our family. When the bathrooms were finished, I joked that I wouldn’t have anyone to bug during the day. > We absolutely love our new bathrooms! We are so happy with the end result! We get so many compliments on them. My dad is a former contractor and said Zach did a phenomenal job! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend South Fork Construction to anyone considering a bathroom remodel! **★★★★★ — Greg Barclay, March 2025** > Zach did a masterful job in reinvigorating our large BBQ island! His skill and attention to detail was very apparent in taking on a difficult tile project with lots of angles and precise cuts and making our BBQ top look absolutely awesome - thanks Jach! Would highly recommend for very difficult and detailed work. And, Zach is a very cool guy to boot. **★★★★★ — wrenelizabethgifts, Feb. 2025** > Jeff Teie is master craftsman and contractor! He is super friendly and easy to talk to about your project. He has great ideas and sees them through beautifully until the end. > Jeff is a tile expert and works quickly without mistakes! Your job will be complete in record time as he is a hard and fast worker and true professional. > After three gorgeous bathroom remodels, we will use him again and recommend you call him now for a quote and to meet him. **★★★★★ — lawrence ozenne, Feb. 2025** > I highly recommend Jeff for your bathroom work. He brought to life what I had envisioned for my master and guest baths. He is punctual, meticulous and extremely pleasant to work with. He is a masterful tile craftsman. He also installed a sink, faucet, disposal, stove and exhaust fan after a fabricator installed a stone counter so the whole project would be finished by Christmas. **★★★★★ — Henry Ossentjuk, Feb. 2025** > Zach did a fantastic job of our two bathroom remodels. > > It's really nice having someone who so seemlessly integrates your vision, needs, and ideas into your project while also ensuring maximum quality is achieved. > > Plainly said, Zach is an artist. My ladies love their two new bathrooms and I will absolutely be having the rest of my tile work done by South Fork. **★★★★★ — Leslie Whelan, July 2023** > Great contractor!! Finding just the right contractor was of utmost importance to my husband and I. Jeff does it all, but bathrooms are his specialty.. We needed someone with a spirit of excellence and willing to let me be creative and change things as we worked on the project. At one point, after he had tiled the floor, I decided that I couldn’t live with it and he said, “Leslie, if you’re not happy with this we can take it out and you should find what you like.” “But,” he said, “You may want to give it a chance.” I did, and he was right, I love it! He was a great communicator with my husband, spending time going over details and answering all his questions as the project proceeded. He really wants the client to be satisfied and happy with the results. And, WE ARE. The bathroom looks awesome. He also did a great job replacing our decks and dry rotted fascia. > His estimate for all the work was very reasonable. **★★★★★ — Bobbi Cole, July 2023** > Jeff Tieie is the most phenomenal contractor we have ever worked with. Kevin and I were both Realtors so we had lots of experience working with contractors. I was a property manager for 34 years and managed over 320 units so I dealt with contractors on a daily basis. I have to say that in those 34 years I never experienced a more professional and talented person than Jeff. He was prompt about getting the work done, agreeable to any reasonable change we asked him to do and the tidiest of contractors I’ve ever met. Jeff is basically a one man show and a true artist in his field. **★★★★★ — maliksaba, July 2023** > Zach and Jeff did a bathroom remodel for me several years ago and I was extremely pleased with their expertise and professionalism. I recently had them remodel the master bathroom and as usual the finished remodel exceeded my expectations. They go above and beyond to ensure everything is done to perfection and their prices are the most honorable and fair. If you’re looking to remodel your bathroom I highly recommend you check them out. They also stand by the work they do, I had a small issue with the older bathroom and even though it was past the warranty period they took care of it. I highly recommend this company! Thank you Jeff and Zach! **★★★★★ — Jim McClary, May 2022** > What a breath of fresh air in finding a competent contractor that is punctual and communicative. Jeff and Zach remodeled our guest bathroom from a tub/shower to a curb-less walk-in shower. The project was completed on schedule, at the stated price and the workmanship is outstanding. Before and after photos are attached. **★★★★★ — larajwilliams, March 2022** > We worked with Jeff and Zach for 2 bathroom remodels from Sept - Dec 21. And I now need them to remodel our entire house :) Having done a few renovations previously (kitchen, bathrooms to whole house knock down and rebuild) we feel like we have a good pulse on what we are looking for and Zach exceeded all our expectations. The quality of the work, attention to detail, communication, attitude, work ethic....phenomenal. We loved that they only subbed out some of the structural work and everything else is done by them. Zach respected our home while he worked and kept the space spotless which was important as we have a baby/toddler crawling around the place. We were never upsold and he was a great partner in helping us make decisions and was patient with the many changes I made to my design. We now have magazine-shoot-worthy bathrooms - seriously. It's an amazing super custom high end finish and Zach and Jeff quoted fairly and came in on budget. I cannot recommend South Fork highly enough. You'll wait a few months, but it will be well worth the wait. In this market, if you are waiting for a contractor it means they are a good one so don't put off. They held their timeline to the day pretty much of when they thought they would be able to start and despite having a full list of folks to go to next didn't rush any part of our job. **★★★★★ — Scott McWhirter, Nov. 2021** > We recently had Jeff design and complete a Main Bathroom shower. He removed an existing tub, and put a beautiful tiled shower with a bench in its place. He also moved a toilet to a different part of the bathroom, replaced the floor tiles, changed the sink faucets and repainted the walls. We had met with multiple contractors over a couple of years but we’re never comfortable either with the quotes or promises. Jeff changed that. His quote was fair and He had excellent suggestions. He checked in with us all along the project to be sure that we approved with the progress. He finished exactly when he said he would. We can’t wait for him to start our Guest Bathroom remodel. **★★★★★ — Deirdre Livingston, July 2021** > The experience we had with South Fork Construction was A+ from our first meeting with them all the way through two complete bathroom remodels. Jeff is very easy to work with and provided invaluable guidance as we planned our bathroom remodels. Once the work began Zach became "part of the family", coming to work daily to complete the two bathrooms in under 1 month. Zach provided a seamless experience for us while we were "locked up" during covid. He is a master craftsman with incredible attention to detail and a work ethic that's second to none. He was very easy to communicate with and always kept us informed of any issues or changes to the plan. We really can't say enough good things about Jeff and Zach. If you are looking for the A team on your next bathroom remodel look to South Fork Construction! **★★★★★ — Wayne, July 2021** > When we decided to start the remodel of our master bath, we reached out to a different contractor who was our "go-to guy". We loved all the remodel work he had done for us previously, and were really disappointed that he was not available to do our bathroom remodel. However, he suggested that we contact JEFF TEIE of South Fork Construction, and we are so glad we that we did! Jeff assessed the job and came in with a fair bid. We were extremely pleased with his work and job ethics. He was very professional and cordial. He listened to our questions and ideas, and provided his valuable insight and suggestions. Jeff gutted the master bathroom, constructed the shower floor, pedestal and recessed wall inset, as well as enlarged a window opening, installed new window, installed new fixtures, etc. His tile work is gorgeous. The finished product demonstrates his pride in his work. We love our master bath and love showering in this beautiful space. Jeff was a pleasure to work with. As far as we are concerned, Jeff is now our new "Go-To" guy! We would recommend him to anyone needing the services he offers! Thank you, Jeff! **★★★★★ — HU-975708803, Feb. 2021** > We recently hired Jeff to make a walk-in shower in our master bath. Jeff was very prompt in returning our initial call. After meeting with him to discuss the project, I knew that he was the only one I wanted to build our shower, and we waited almost seven months for him to be available. I will say that we are 100% satisfied with Jeff’s work, and with our experience in working together with him. Jeff holds himself to the highest standards in his workmanship, professionalism, and integrity. He did everything he said he would do, exactly as he said he would. Our new shower is completely beautiful, and has been impeccably made by a talented craftsman. **★★★★★ — dembicer, Nov. 2020** > Jeff just completed a bathroom remodel for us and we couldn't be more pleased. He was great to deal with, very professional, excellent communication regarding scheduling etc and simply a pleasure to work with. The small bathroom in our almost 50 year old home is a bit larger now and beautifully updated! Thanks Jeff!! **★★★★★ — Peter O, Nov. 2020** > Jeff and his crew did a wonderful job helping us achieve the remodel vision we had for our two bathrooms. Zach has a great eye for detail, and helped us dial in to get the look we were striving for. I would not hesitate to use them again — and we’re already planning our next project for them. They are thoughtful, polite, talented and dedicated. No disappointments. **★★★★★ — User, May 2020** > Over the past two years, South Fork Construction completed three bathroom remodels for me. Jeff and his partner Zach are amazing, and I can highly recommend them. I am particularly impressed with their meticulous work, professionalism, experience, and their ability to complete projects on or ahead of time and within the agreed upon budget. I love my new bathrooms. **★★★★★ — Priscilla Cortez, Feb. 2020** > Jeff is amazing! when I first contacted him, he advised me that he was booked up for about the next 6 months but that if he had any space between projects, he would try to squeeze in my bathroom remodel. He ended up being able to start work months sooner than I expected, he stuck to his estimate (except for additional items I requested, of course) and always kept me informed of when he would be showing up or if something had gotten in the way of it. He and his partner Zach did great work, were happy to comply with my requests and give input/suggestions, and his tile work is beautiful! They were also very patient and kind to my seriously annoying pup who loved to jump on them! I only wish I had more bathrooms for him to remodel! (Hmm maybe I will need to build a guest house one of these days! ) **★★★★★ — Catherine Comroe, Feb. 2020** > We chose South Fork because we liked some of the photos of bathrooms we had seen and knew we wanted them to do ours. Their work did not disappoint!!!! Our bathroom turned out beautiful!!!! They were timely and kept us up to date on their time frame. Zach did the tile and he was a perfectionist!!!! We enjoyed having him in our home while he was working for us and really appreciate how much care and thought went in to every tile he laid!!!!! We are beyond thrilled with the results and would recommend South Fork to anyone who wants a pretty bathroom!!!! **★★★★★ — Mark Cutler, July 2019** > Jeff completely removed our 31 year old shower and replaced everything with a great modern shower - tile walls and plumbing. He was probably the best contractor I ever worked with. He almost always showed up when he said he would, and when he had to be a little late, he called and let us know why and when he would arrive. His workmanship and professionalism was as good as it gets. He specializes in bathrooms, and in regards to showers, he knows everything about them. His aesthetic suggestions were always great. He did everything except the door, and the person he suggested for the door was equally good. If you want a shower remodel, you can't go wrong with Jeff. **★★★★★ — Kevin Ratliff, June 2019** > I cannot recommend more highly the work that was performed by Jeff and Zach at South Fork Construction. From start to finish, they have been nothing but a pleasure to work with. Jeff came out in person to talk through what we wanted out of our master bathroom remodel and provided a detailed estimate at a competitive price. Communication throughout the project was top notch and I was always kept in the loop regarding schedule and project details. Zach performed most of the work on our project and his meticulous attention to detail was impressive. Corners were never cut and he always brought to my attention problems that were encountered so that we could work through them to a solution. The work area was always cleaned up tidy at the end of every day which means a lot when you are still living in your home while it is being remodeled. Our remodel was a complete gut of the master bathroom with new relocation of electrical, plumbing, new cabinets, and a custom shower. The tile work in the shower was flawless and is the highlight of the room. We are extremely happy with the finished product. Jeff and Zach are a couple of the nicest guys I have had the pleasure of working with and I plan to keep in touch long after the project has been completed. Don't hesitate to use South Fork Construction for your next project. **★★★★★ — Patricia Caputo, April 2019** > We recently contracted with Southfork Construction to complete 3 full bathroom remodels. The project was handled with professionalism and meticulous attention to detail. Structural work, new tub, new windows, new vanities and countertops, plumbing and electrical changes, new fixtures, and wall and floor tile installation were accomplished with outstanding results. The tile work completed by Zach was not without challenges. Zach navigated the challenges with the expertise of a true craftsman. > Southfork Construction operates a business with uncommon integrity. Honest, responsive to questions/concerns, pleasant, respectful...I would recommend them without reservation! **★★★★★ — HU-524904097, Sept. 2018** > Jeff‘s attention to detail is second to none. After having to fire our kitchen remodelers due to quality issues, Jeff put the finishing touches on a kitchen remodel by doing a phenomenal job installing our backsplash and crown molding. If you want a expert that’s going to treat your home like his own and listens to your ideas and improves on them, then look no further than South Fork construction . **★★★★★ — User, Sept. 2018** > Dear Jeff, Bruce, Mike, Zack and Kyson, > > A letter of thank you to Southfork Construction for the outstanding job everyone did in our complete redesign/renovation of our 2 bedroom, 2 bath granny flat (aprox 1200 sq ft.) - from adding a new wrap around deck, new kitchen and master bathroom, all new electrical outlets and lighting, installing woods floors, all our plumbing needs, - your company does it all. What separates your company from any other we have ever used is your attention to detail, your entire team is very impressive! It was a great experience having a client and contractor working relationship, that made it easy for both of us to communicate whatever we were thinking along the way knowing changes take place during a remodel. > We appreciate everyone for taking the time to answer our questions and responding to our concerns quickly. > Southfork Construction is a highly professional, and more importantly, trustworthy company. Jeff and his team were always professional, patient and courteous. We enjoyed working with all of you. We would definitely use this company again and would recommend you and your company without reservation. > > Sam & Sheryl Tibbitts **★★★★ — Don SCHERBARTH, March 2018** > We had Jeff completely remodel our master bath and update our main bath. Our master bath required some structural work as well as a new tile shower enclosure, new vanity and counter top, new fixtures and plumbing, and new floor tile. Quality tile work can make or break a bathroom update, and Jeff did an excellent job for us. He does his own tile work, no sub involved. Jeff was great at communication with my wife and I, and was very flexible in scheduling and making sure we always had access to one or the other of the only two bathrooms we have. Overall, a very positive contractor experience. **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2018** > Jeff and Zach from South Fork Construction completely remodeled one of my bathrooms in December 2017. These guys are amazing: > Zach's craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail resulted in a bathroom that far exceeded my expectations. His professionalism and pleasant demeanor made the project an easy and pleasant experience for us. > Jeff's honest and proactive communication made working with his company a pleasure. > I can highly recommend South Fork Construction. > Gabriele Schillinger, Pollock Pines **★★★★★ — Robin Reves-May, Dec. 2017** > Jeff and Zack did two bathroom remodels for us this year. We’ve hired many contractors over the years and there are some things that we shrug off because “they’re a contractor”. Not so with these guys! Their work is excellent and meticulous and their work ethic is just as good. They arrived on time and communicated any problems right away. We felt completely at ease with them and enjoyed getting to know them. I would highly recommend South Fork Construction. We love our new bathrooms! **★★★★★ — Darlena King, Nov. 2017** > Jeff and Zach turned a 70s acrylic shower in a mud room into a spa like dream shower. I feel like I’m in a fine European spa when I use it! > They were a pleasure to have in our home and were respectful, kind and professional. They have designer taste and went above and beyond to make this shower more than I could have expected > I highly recommend Southfork Construction and will use them for all of our home projects in the future! **★★★★★ — No name, Oct. 2017** > The first time we hired South Fork Construction was for a master bath remodel. Jeff and Zach did a beautiful job on our tile. The walls, floor and shower stall were well though-out before tiling began so the overall result was wonderful. > Recently we tiled 3 large rooms with 12" x 48" floor tiles. Their craftsmanship is amazing. Everything is done to perfection. We loved working with them and having them in our house. They are professionals, tried to keep our disruptions to a minimum and always communicated with us. There were no "surprises". I would highly recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — maliksaba, April 2017** > Jeff Teie and Zach from South Fork Construction Co. did a complete guest bathroom remodel. They removed bathtub and installed shower stall as well as new vanity, mirror, light fixtures, toilet and all new tile. The entire project took about two and half weeks and was completed as promised. Jeff and Zach are extremely professional and meticulous in the work they do, and their work is exemplary! If you are considering remodeling your home I highly recommend South Fork Construction! **★★★★★ — Sue & Holli Henderson, April 2017** > Jeff is amazing! My husband & I only have the highest praise for the handcrafted remodeling done by Jeff & Co. Jeff was totally in tune with our creative side as we wanted our bathroom to be luxurious, functional, romantic and giving us a dream bathroom (within our dream budget!) as we can soak in the bath, candles lit, sipping scrumptious wine as we feel completeness. Jeff is outstanding and he is truly an professional artist when it comes to design and craftsmanship. When we remodel again, we will ask Jeff once again! He's amazing! **★★★★★ — cats\_mcgovern, Feb. 2017** > Total responsibility for the work, thoroughness, good follow up, personable yet very professional, detailed oriented, honest communication, idea receptive and on the job promptly until all work is completed. This is why I highly recommend Jeff and Zack of South Fork Construction for any home alterations and improvements. Judy McG **★★★★★ — Michael Meyer, Dec. 2016** > Just completed several projects with South Fork and couldn't be happier. Owner and general contractor Jeff Teie helped with a total kitchen remodel, installation of new bedroom sliding door, French doors off dining room, window replacements, and a 14' x 16' Lanai. He takes pride in his work, is responsive, willing to satisfy his client, and has an eye for design. Will be calling Jeff for future bathroom remodels. **★★★★★ — HU-497599, July 2016** > I truly appreciate the professionalism, commitment, and skill this company provided for me. They found time for me as I needed work done on short notice. South Fork provided clear and reasonable costs beforehand and made any adjustment I felt necessary and appropriate based on my needs and what was found that needed attention during their work assignment. **★★★★★ — mikeneubs, June 2016** > We hired Jeff and his crew to replace a 1200 sq' deck that was 14' at the maximum height. Not the easiest of decks. I had done the demolition side of things in order to salvage the lumber from the old deck. > > Jeff had quoted us a price and a timeline that i felt was a fair estimation of both. I, of course, was prepared for things to take longer and be more expensive than agreed upon as has always been my experience with contractors. > > From the moment that the crew arrived we had a good feeling about this hire. There was no hesitation about what they were there to do. Within minutes they started to tackle the ledger and posts. We had some dry rot in the sill and they replaced that easily. Hardly set them back any but i was starting to feel that timeline slip away. It's usually one thing after another. > > After the first two days i was very impressed with the progress and after two more i was blown away. These guys don't mess around! They come to get the job done. There was also an attention to detail that made me feel really good adout the work they were putting in. They were sincere about the project and communication was open and honest. After getting to know them better i am so happy that we decided to hire South Fork Construction. These are the kind of guys that you want working on something you care about. > > But enough about them! We finished two days ahead of schedule and under budget!!! We can not recommend Jeff and South Fork Construction enough. We are remodeling the bathroom next and know exactly who we'll be calling. These guys rock. **★★★★★ — Cari, April 2016** > We hired South Fork Construction to remodel our awkward and outdated bathrooms as well as other smaller projects throughout the house. Upon meeting Jeff for the initial consult we knew he was our guy. Both of the bathrooms are absolutely beautiful now and he was able to bring my vision for them to life. His attention to detail, easy to talk to personality, and open communication throughout our projects made the entire process a breeze. I now have my dream bathrooms and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend South Fork Construction for more projects in the future. If you want top notch workmanship and a great personality to match then Jeff is the guy for you. **★★★★★ — lindaandbob2007, March 2016** > In 2016 South Fork Construction removed our ancient bathtub and built a full length tiled shower complete with fold down stool, grab bar and recessed tile shelf. We are extremely pleased with the finished product. All work was done in a timely manner with no mess left behind. They have done other projects for us in the past and all work was satisfactory. We will certainly call on them for future projects and highly recommend them for yours. > > Linda and Bob Bray **★★★★★ — tiogalake, Feb. 2016** > Jeff and his team have done a great job for our whole house internal renovation on our property. Jeff has kept close communication with us through out the project. In addition, he'd provide his professional opinion when it comes to design, layout, color scheme.

He kept my mind at ease through the remodel of my bathroom. His easy going attitude made it easy to communicate with him. Jeff took the time to explain the difference in tile and grout and made it clear what to expect. He worked with our budget. His integrity shows. We would hire him again. **★★★★★ — nbaladi, May 2015** > Working with Jeff on our bathroom remodel was an absolute pleasure. He walked through everything we'd need, all the work that had to be done and the timing of it all. Throughout the process he was always proactive and kept us updated on progress since we were out of town. He really thought through all of the tile work, made some great suggestions and installed it all beautifully. Jeff is a great guy to work with. This was our first remodel so we were a bit out of our element and he made it all easy and painless. We're looking forward to working with him again. **★★★★★ — jims\_myg, May 2015** > Over the past recent years, we have always benefited highly & been sincerely pleased with our repeated decisions to have Jeff & his carefully selected team work with our home projects including major bathroom renovations, laundry room upgrades plus exterior structures for rec vehicles as well as quality fencing projects. > All work is done in a fully timely manner at a fair cost & the bonus always is the attention to detail which is a high standard hallmark of Jeff's efforts toward providing outstanding results. > We are very happy to have friends review each project as they are highly complimentary with their sincere comments on the fresh design ideas & quality workmanship. **★★★★★ — chadb3, June 2014** > We recently had our bathroom remodeled by South Fork construction, we could not have had a better experience. Jeff was very professional and helpful to us. We had no idea what we wanted in our new bathroom, Jeff and his wife Jennifer helped us pick tile and the basic theme of our bathroom. Jeff finished the project on time and on budget and we could not be happier with the quality of his work. Thanks again to Jeff and Jennifer!! **★★★★★ — diwonder60, May 2014** > My husband and I had hired South Fork Construction to do a larger wall and floor tile job in our kitchen, dining, downstairs bath, and sitting room. We were extremely pleased with his work and job ethics. We have had numerous compliments on his work. When we had a smaller upstairs bathroom floor tile job to do, we knew who to call. It looks beautiful and we are very pleased. We plan to use him again as soon as our new house is ready. I would highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — zumlips, April 2014** > Since 2008 we've had several wonderful experiences working with Jeff in a variety of home improvement projects. Jeff masterfully installed a hand-scraped teak hardwood floor throughout our home, with intricate glass and granite tile work in the kitchen and bathrooms, custom appliances, slate tile kitchen floor, and interior and exterior trims. Where we had vague ideas, Jeff brought inspiration, insight and innovation. He helped us to develop our visions in the most qualitative, resourceful, and economic ways possible. His local influence, ethics, artistic eye, and sustainable vision have given our home unique spaces that feel timeless, transcend fads, and are meant to be enjoyed for generations. Additionally, Jeff has repaired portions of our roof and façade and beautifully remodeled our master bathroom installing hand-cut granite and new fixtures while repurposing/giving new life to some of the previously installed bathroom fixtures and custom cabinetry. We wouldn’t dream of attempting a home improvement project without Jeff’s input. **★★★★★ — wojja, April 2014** > Jeff Teie is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Always on time and ready to get the job done. Jeff went over and beyond the call of duty, as he takes great pride in his work. His pricing was competitive, but less than some of the other quotes we received. I would hire him again. Jeff is very organized and explains the work he is about to perform, so one knows exactly what to expect. > He is also pleasant and trustworthy. I find these qualities to be rare in other companies I have hired in the past. In a nutshell..........Jeff is great!!! **★★★★★ — Douglas Neal, April 2014** > Jeff and the guys at South Fork Construction were a great help with our Kitchen Remodel. From planning and design to advising us through some unexpected extra electrical work that came up once we started tearing into stuff, they were with us every step of the way. I would highly recommend Jeff and his team. **★★★★★ — micrestaino, March 2014** > Jeff understands his work and knows how to get a good job done. > Jeff is timely and efficient and we look forward to future projects using South Fork Construction. **★★★★ — schaitow, March 2014** > Jeff was patient and willing to work with us on a relatively small scope of work. We appreciated his proactive approach to getting the work done well. We will be sure to give him a call for similar work in the future. ## Selected projects - [Our Specialty - Showers](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/our-specialty-showers-pj-vj~2989089) - Location: Placerville, CA - Photos: 91 - [Cordero Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cordero-drive-pj-vj~2689096) - Location: El Dorado Hills, CA - Photos: 8 - [Maverick Ct.
