It was a big project for us; admittedly, stories from friends of remodels gone wrong were on our minds. To our delight, we experienced nothing but positive things with YW. > > Our remodel included the kitchen, bathroom, flooring, one bedroom, and minor structural work. From the beginning, Clayton, Patrick, and the whole team took care of our home. They came with a positive attitude every day, worked seamlessly with the architect and structural engineer, brought in expert craftspeople at every stage, and kept us updated. They also remedied issues an inspector found with previous work (unrelated to YW), which required us to reinstall our forced-air and tankless water heaters. > > In addition to the big elements, YW was attentive to our design sense with all the details, from fixtures to color schemes. When we weren’t sure, they had resources and helpful suggestions, which we often took. Lastly, they were fairly priced and completed the work on the early side of the estimate, just in time for our son to start school at home. We love our remodeled home and can’t recommend YW highly enough! Five stars, A+. **★★★★★ — A D Rubin, July 2024** > YW Builders did an absolutely fantastic job on our home. They understood our needs and our design plan, they did an exemplary job of bidding the work (it ran just at budget, no surprises) and they completed the work exactly on time. We love the result. We really couldn't be happier in our updated home. Thanks Clayton and Patrick. We really enjoyed working with you and your team and, well, we'll be calling again. **★★★★★ — Chloe Qi, Aug. 2023** > We worked with YW Builders to remodel three bathrooms in our SF house. As first time renovators, we had heard a lot of horror stories from our friends (and the internet!) about other contractors, but we needn't have worried. Clayton and Pat were a pleasure to work with, and we love our new bathrooms. > > Clayton and Pat were professional and communicative. They did a great job coordinating some unforeseen structural engineering work that came up (which our architects had missed). They also proactively raised questions about design details that we had missed. We actually spent most of the reno abroad (which we had some apprehension about), but we never felt out of the loop. > > We love how the work turned out. The tile install in particular was really high quality. We have floor-to-ceiling walls of stacked subway tile, which came out beautifully aligned. They also did a fantastic job with some of the more complex design elements, including sourcing our custom cabinets. > > We would 100% work with YW Builders again on future projects. **★★★★★ — alubiano, Sept. 2022** > I’ve worked with contractors before and I can’t even compare the experience. We first had 2 bathrooms redone. It was such a great experience that we decided to do the living room and kitchen as well. The team is professional, attentive and pleasure to work with. If you want a fresh perspective on design and think a little outside the box, then YW is the right team for your project. Thanks to the crew …Clayton, Patrick, Ben and Peter and hope to work with them again on future projects … **Comment from YW Builders Inc.:** > Thank you so much, Tony! It was a privilege to work with you and JJ to help bring to life your vision of a home for your family and friends. So stoked that you are happy with the transformation!!! great teamwork. Cheers **★★★★★ — Meghan Davidson, May 2022** > We can’t say enough great things about Clayton, Pat and the entire YW team we worked with on our recent home renovation project. This is our first home and first major remodel. We interviewed four contractors for the project. Clayton impressed us from the beginning with his knowledge and responsiveness. Before we’d even signed a contract, he provided us with recommendations for local vendors. During the project, his team was on site nearly every day. Our project manager, Pat, kept us to speed on the progress. When our cabinets were delayed, Clayton and Pat helped us work through it. We lived in our house during construction. We know it wasn’t easy, but the YW team made it work, cleaning the worksite as much as possible each night. The attention to detail and quality were impressive. So many people we spoke to before we started had challenges with their projects. We had the complete opposite experience. After nearly four months of construction, our project finished on time and on budget. It was almost bittersweet to wrap up and say goodbye. We look forward to working with Clayton and the YW team on our next project! **Comment from YW Builders Inc.:** > Omg THANK YOU so much Meghan!!! So grateful that we've found each other and got the opportunity to partner together on your home. The project definitely came together in the end. Until the next one. Thanks again. **★★★★★ — Melissa, April 2022** > The YW team has been a pleasure to work with and we would definitely contact them again for future projects! Communication is very important to me and Clayton and Patrick were very attentive to all my questions and concerns. It was our first time renovating a house. From start to finish they were able to help guide us in the right direction to achieve the look we wanted. They are extremely efficient and plan out projects well. I felt very at ease when we were notified of every project step from start to finish. There is no worry when you work with YW Builders, their work and customer service is top notch. **★★★★★ — Diane Robinson, Sept. 2021** > We had Clayton and his team do a complete bathroom remodel in our mid century modern house. We couldn’t be happier with the professional construction process and the final product. First of all, everything was done with permits. Clayton was there to guide us through all of the design elements and even found the perfect tile. Getting things delivered during a pandemic is not easy. Clayton even drove to San Jose to pick up tile we had fallen in love with. Patrick and the crew showed up every day and worked tirelessly. He communicated with us every day about what would happen the following day and got our approval at every step. The job was completed in less than a month. They were all friendly, polite and considerate. **★★★★★ — Catherine Saucedo, Sept. 2021** > I vetted multiple, multiple, contractors for a complete kitchen remodel. YW Builders Inc. came in at the top of the list on all counts. Not only was the bid competitive but Clayton and his team were absolutely amazing to work with. All nightmare scenarios we all hear about working with contractors were non existent. YW were professional, courteous, skillful, creative, and helpful! I would get regular updates, help with purchases, and all completed within the estimated timeline! The construction team even made sure to clean up and leave virtually no mess every day. Genius. Seriously, worth every penny. **★★★★★ — Ken P, Jan. 2021** > We had such a positive experience working with YW Builders. The entire team was great to work with and was very reliable. They were transparent from the very beginning so we got what we expected and the project was finished in a timely manner. They even helped with materials, design and renders. They have style! Can’t believe they even checked in during the holidays with chocolates. What contractor does that? I highly recommend this team for your next project, you won’t be disappointed. **★★★★★ — Simon & Beverly, Dec. 2020** > We have been working with Clayton and YW Builders for 2 years now. My friend recommended YW Builders to me, since her family also used YW Builders to remodel their 3 bathrooms. Even after 3 years, their bathrooms look great and new like. Definitely top quality! > We first used YW Builder 2 years ago to remodel 2 bathrooms in our family home. For one of the bathrooms, we decided to do subways tiles. It turned out amazing!!! Super clean lines. I still get lots of compliments on our remodel even today, so I was convinced then that I would continue to use them, especially after having several bad contractors in the past. This current project we just completed were for another 2 bathrooms plus flooring for a townhouse. Definitely a lot more complicated with not only permits to deal with but guidelines to follow from the HOA. Not to worry, this company will take care of this for you. In addition, they will give you the projected cost of your project, so you know what to expect (so no big surprise), and provide you a list of all the materials and when you need to have it by. This is key for those of you who love custom materials, like me, since you want your materials to be here on time; these guys are super efficient with their time lines. > The last part that I would like to mention is the fact that YW Builder does allow me to be creative with the remodels. I'm not professional home designer, but I like to create my own designs. YW Builders will help turn your vision into reality. **★★★★★ — Howard & Sally Wong, Dec. 2020** > Clayton and his Team did a awesome remodel on all three of our bathrooms! He put in a walk in closet in the master bedroom when I didn’t think was possible. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Irina Luck, Dec. 2020** > We were so lucky to get YW builders to remodel our bathroom. They had an opening in their schedule on short notice, which is very unlikely to be found now as they're in high demand :). Clayton handled absolutely everything, including the materials. I just showed him a picture of the bathroom I wanted and he and his crew miraculously delivered. On time! They absolutely did high-quality work and were 100% reliable and awesome to work with. I can't recommend them enough. The only problem with them as they're so popular, and it's hard to get them! ## Selected projects - [Miraloma Modern Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miraloma-modern-custom-home-pj-vj~6981450) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 13 - [Noe Valley Victorian](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/noe-valley-victorian-pj-vj~6124129) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 9 - Description: Complete home remodel with farmhouse design. - [Wisconsin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wisconsin-pj-vj~7585188) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 17 - [MacArthur Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/macarthur-residence-pj-vj~7252164) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 11 - [Nisei Bar/ Iris](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nisei-bar-iris-pj-vj~7607746) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 8 - [Project Ruby](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/project-ruby-pj-vj~7585363) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 19 - [Pacific Heights Contemporary Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pacific-heights-contemporary-custom-home-pj-vj~5806424) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 18 - [Tranquil Heights](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tranquil-heights-pj-vj~7532138) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 8 - Description: Located in the heart of San Francisco, the Tranquil Heights project focused on transforming three bathrooms into modern, calming spaces.
