North Bay Construction, LLC

Had a great experience working with John and Judit on our home. From the beginning, they were professional, responsive, and very easy to communicate with. They were clear about what needed to be done, answered questions quickly, and kept us updated throughout the project. The quality of the work was excellent, and it was clear that they paid attention to the details rather than rushing through things. They were also reliable about showing up when expected, keeping the project moving, and sticking closely to the schedule, which made the whole process much less stressful. We’re very happy with how everything turned out and with the overall experience of working with them. It’s not always easy to find contractors who are both skilled and dependable, so we really appreciated that. I would absolutely work with them again on future projects and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and a professional, reliable team.

John and Judit head up an amazing team! Everyone we worked with was friendly, courteous, flexible and professional. They did a terrific job and kept on schedule. We would definitely use them again!

We hired North Bay Construction (NBC) for a full condominium remodel that began in November 2023 and was completed in May 2024. Our general contractor was John Fox, whom we were introduced to through our interior designer, Carly Rose of Rose Design. The scope included a complete renovation of two bathrooms and the kitchen, along with additional touch-ups throughout our high-rise condo in San Francisco. Our primary points of contact were John Fox and Judit Sanchez Fernandez. John oversaw the project as the lead contractor, while Judit supported communication and coordination alongside our designer’s project management. We chose NBC because of their transparency and detailed cost breakdowns. That level of clarity was important to us, as both my husband and I value organization and financial visibility. What NBC did particularly well: * They are experienced working in dense urban environments like San Francisco, where logistics—parking, access, and limited workspace—can be challenging, especially in high-rise buildings. * They maintained a high standard of cleanliness throughout the project. This mattered a great deal to us, as our building has very well-kept common areas. Their team kept the worksite inside our unit orderly and handled all material transport with care, without impacting shared spaces. * They have strong relationships with skilled and reliable tradespeople, which was reflected in the quality of the work and coordination across the project. * They stand behind their work. Even after completion, they have remained responsive and helpful whenever we’ve had follow-up questions or smaller home improvement needs. Through them, we’ve also built a network of dependable tradespeople we can continue to rely on. We would confidently recommend NBC to others planning a remodel, particularly in a high-rise or urban setting.

We worked with John in 2016 for a major renovation of our home. We had been working with a designer (unaffiliated with North Bay) who had been overcharging us; we were way over budget and feeling frustrated. John and North Bay Construction saved us. We fired our designer and John helped us bring our project back to a manageable place without compromising the quality and beauty of the renovation. They did an incredible job - the work is excellent, they were on time and on budget. Everyone who came to the house (electrician, plumber, stucco, roofing, heating/cooling, flooring) were amazing to work with. 10 years later, we still go to him for recommendations for regular house maintenance projects. His advice is never wrong. You won't regret working with North Bay Construction.

John and his team did our full house remodel, and we are so glad they were our partners on this project! During the quote process, he brought all of his subs in to prepare the most comprehensive estimate. It gave us the confidence that there wouldn’t be surprises along the way, and our project finished largely on time and on budget at an excellent quality. We lived nearby during construction and checked on the house periodically. The crew was great and the work was neat. On fridays the space was always swept and cleaned up. In contrast to other projects in our neighborhood that seemed to idle for periods of time, things moved forward at all times. If one part was delayed, Judit our wonderful project manager would move another piece up. Obviously with a project this scale there were challenges. Some things needed to be redone, etc. But, John was always such a professional in dealing with each item. We felt like he took accountability and worked with us the find a solution. Lastly, we’ll say that many of his subs have worked with him for years and are true craftsmen. We are thrilled with how the project turned out and would work with John again in a heartbeat.

Working with John and North Bay Construction was amazing! They tackled two bathroom remodels and a large kitchen refresh for us, and the results are beautiful. At every step of the way, John was super attentive and really had our backs. There was nothing we couldn't ask him to do, and I really appreciated that he never tried to nickel and dime us. On top of the great customer service, the quality of the work is top-notch. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I cannot speak more highly of John Fox and North Bay Construction. From start to finish, absolutely exceptional! John is a great communicator and very responsive. I was a fairly engaged homeowner on our 1912 Edwardian in Noe Valley that was down to the studs in half the house. John was very flexible with adapting to changes in the plans and was keen to understand our vision for the project. John also employs only the highest quality subcontractors, and we were completely satisfied with all of them. Most people do not enjoy going through the experience of a remodel, but with North Bay Construction, it was actually fun and satisfying. The final product exceeded our expectations in every respect.

John and his team were a dream to work with! We had a more complex project and they stepped in on relatively short notice to fit us into their schedule. Throughout the project, John was reliable and transparent. If he said he was going to do something (e.g. meet us, schedule the plumber, talk to the city, etc.) it always happened. We had some minor delays (normal for most projects) and John always took accountability for these situations, bringing well-considered solutions and go-forward plans. Like most homeowners, we don’t do major renovations repeatedly in our lives and have heard so many horror stories — being able to work with a team that is professional and trustworthy, with a high bar for quality gave us the peace of mind to know we were in good hands for one of the largest investments we have made in our home.

Several years ago, I needed to renovate my older home after it suffered a fire. I reached out to a few contractors, but North Bay Construction was head and shoulders above the rest. From start to finish, the whole process was so thorough and professional. Judit, their Project Manager, is kind, personable, detail-oriented, responsive, and thorough. I never had to wait long for an answer, and I received gentle, helpful reminders when my lack of decision would be potentially holding up the project. John Fox is the dream contractor who checks all of the boxes--transparent, professional, kind, thorough, patient, honest, responsive, and communicative. I received very detailed and transparent quotes for the work, which is one of the reasons I selected them. All of the subcontractors he engaged were really high quality and professional in both their quality of work and communication. I was working on a very small and tight budget, and they did their best to make honest recommendations where possible. They are all experts in their area, and it really shows. It's been a few years after my project was completed, and I'm still very happy with the work. If you value a highly organized company with great communication, ethics, and quality work, you will appreciate North Bay Construction.

A much overdue review of my experience with John and North Bay Construction. Last year they completed a bathroom remodel for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, they were incredibly friendly and easy to work with. John and his subs were communicative throughout the entire process—I always knew exactly where things stood and what to expect next. Every subcontractor brought in was professional and courteous, and it was clear that everyone took pride in their work. I appreciated how diligent they were about cleaning up at the end of each day—it made a huge difference. Overall, I highly recommend John and North Bay Construction to anyone looking for a reliable, respectful, and skilled team for their home project. This was my third time using them and I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future renovations!

We did a top to bottom, full home remodel with North Bay Construction and highly recommend them. Working with John and Judit and their team has been incredible at every step of the way. From the start of the bid process, they brought in sub contractors to give us the most accurate estimate possible. They hold themselves and subs to a high standard of quality and make sure the work is done right. When unexpected or tricky issues arise (as they inevitably do with remodels), the NBC team was easy to work with to find a solution. They are overly communicative and make sure every question gets a satisfactory answer. We’ve already recommended North Bay to several friends. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that we’re thrilled with how our home turned out and the top advice we’d give anyone embarking on their own remodel is to hire NBC. You’ll be so glad you did.

I probably couldn't count the number of contractors we've hired throughout the years. North Bay Construction is without a doubt the best we've ever worked with. John and his crew completed a to-the-studs renovation of our 1906 kitchen in 2023-2024 and knocked it out of the park. Totally blown away. The things I appreciated most about John and his crew: - high-touch, detail-oriented, and communicative - a modern operation, with deep experience executing and detailing all kinds of projects (from historic/traditional to ultra-modern) - a deep bench of dedicated subs and in-house, experienced carpenters. I've never seen tight scheduling like this before, and the work was all immaculate - a collaborative approach. John was flexible, guided us where necessary, and genuinely cared about delivering a result we'd be happy with - a respect for our home. All crews worked super clean and kept the job site spotless and contained. You won't regret hiring North Bay Construction. We can't wait to use them again.

We have really enjoyed working with John and his team at North Bay Construction and highly recommend them. John has done wonderful work on our home - remodeling a media room and several bedrooms. We are using him again this year for continued projects updating our house. They are very professional, responsive, and everything has turned out beautifully. Even more importantly, John has been willing to go back and fix anything that wasn't quite as expected. We are very happy with the quality of work.

Extremely pleased working with NBC and John and Judit and the entire team. Our 1890's Victorian home was due some updates including a new kitchen, moving the laundry up to level of the bedrooms and creating an office/storage room at garage level. From the start with planning, through to the very end - the communication was always timely, clear and comprehensive, the workmanship flawless and customer care the very best we have ever experienced. A true, true pleasure - we HIGHLY recommend!

John and team at North Bay Construction completed our kitchen remodel + other items throughout the home in 2022 and did a fantastic job. The project was completed on time, exactly to the standard we expected and discussed. We stayed on budget, and the unexpected items that arose during the project were discussed with complete transparency. The entire team was easy to work with and reach and continue to be with ongoing small projects. We have LOVED working with North Bay Construction and hope to continue to for years.

We highly recommend North Bay Construction. John Fox and his team recently completed a major remodel of our 1937 San Francisco home, including a stairway replacement, seismic reinforcing, new kitchen and bathroom, and replacement of the heating system and many windows. The work took about a year - slightly longer than the initial estimate but understandable given pandemic-related supply chain issues and a few unexpected construction issues. We found it very easy to work with John, office manager Judit, foreman Mateo, and the rest of the North Bay team, and we are extremely happy with the final result. North Bay communications are excellent - starting from the detailed bid submission and discussions and the initial schedule projection and continuing through the actual construction work and inevitable adjustments to the project plans. John provided weekly updates on work completed and next steps. As questions or issues arise, we had the opportunity to first discuss these in person with written follow-up on the path forward. We had about a dozen change orders from the original plan, some due to our own choices and requests and some due to issues discovered during construction; the options and costs for these change orders were always clearly communicated in writing. We were also given updated construction schedules on a regular basis. Most importantly, we are extremely happy with the overall quality of the work and the final results. Minor problems were all resolved quickly; our only significant problem related to a new wood floor, which John addressed by replacing the original subcontractor and covering the additional cost. We were able to interact directly with the sub-contractors as needed, to resolve our specific concerns and to ask questions about maintenance or operational requirements for the new items. John and Judit were also quick to follow up on the handful of minor issues that we discovered after the project was completed.

NBC team (John, Judit, carpenters, etc) are highly professional and high quality general contractors. I would engage with NBC again on all my home projects and look forward to the next one. The entire experience was a pleasure! (1) Scope of job: NBC renovated the entire exterior of my house, including demolition, new windows, carpentry, bolting/bracing, insulation, water-proofing, concrete, stucco, plastering, lighting, paint, roofing, permitting. (2) Timeliness: NBC worked strenuously to ensure the project was completed on time. The entire crew, including sub-contractors, committed to showing up on time or early and completed each division/piece on time. (3) Quality: NBC rigorously vets their sub-contractors. Every sub-contractor has high standards and is passionate about their craft. Every team left the site well-organized and clean. (4) Communication & Organization: NBC is highly experienced, so the coordination with carpenters, sub-contractors, and permitting was seamless. They anticipated my questions and needs and were very responsive to requests and changes. John sent a weekly update on the upcoming week, and checked in regularly during the week.

John was very responsive and detail-oriented! We didn't end-up working with NBC but we've enjoyed the interaction and their attention to detail.

It is with great pleasure, admiration and respect that we offer our highest recommendation for the work done by John Fox and his team at North Bay Construction. We have been involved in a number of building projects over a period of four decades. North Bay Construction is, without doubt, the best. The condo remodeling project began before Covid and proceeded nicely. Once the virus hit, John and his team followed all required safety measures. Once they were able to return to work, the project came together seamlessly. What makes John and his project manager, Judit, so unique is their superb communication and follow through. No matter what questions we had, they always reported back to us in a very timely manner. We preferred email and that is what they used. He always made time to meet with all of us as needed including the architect and designers. Deadlines were precisely met. We found his subcontractors to be excellent and highly skilled. His on-site manager was always generous with his time and skill. Once the project was nearing completion, John made certain that we were satisfied with everything. He even stepped in and helped us with some items that were not part of the original contract to be certain that we were pleased. He and his team went beyond the call of duty constructing a superb remodel for us. We recommend North Bay Construction without any reservation whatsoever. He treated us with friendliness, courtesy, and professionalism that is usually only seen in a small town where everyone knows everyone else. We will certainly ask him to help us again in the future when the need arises. You will not be disappointed with John, Judit and their team. In fact, you will be thrilled with the results of working with North Bay Construction. Bob and Judy

John & Judit are top notch. They are extremely professional, without being business-only. They care about the clients and projects that we work on together and are attentive to schedule, ordering, and quality. It's difficult to do things on a budget in this town, and the quality of project management that you get with NBC is hard to beat. Myself and my team have the honor of working with some of the best contractors in town frequently, and NBC is one of them. We highly recommend working with NBC on your next project.

I have worked with John and his team on several projects, from a bath remodel to adding a two level basement under a house. At every scale they are professional with great attention to detail and they are great communicators. Projects are run efficiently and they see themselves as part of the overall team, so really make the effort to work well with everyone to get the best outcomes for our clients. I highly recommend North Bay Construction.

If you are looking for a top notch general contractor, I highly recommend Jon Fox and his construction team. For context, this was our first major remodel and we were fairly new to the process. John came highly recommended and he did not let us down. John and his staff guided us though our year-long project with clear and professional communication, patience and understanding. John and team are professionals, on time, on task and on budget. He set reasonable expectations of what he needed from us as clients and informed us in a timely manner of when decisions needed to be made. His craftsmanship and attention to detail are world class. He also has the benefit of having long-standing relationships with his subcontractors. They all worked as a team to get the project completed on time and within the established budget. John has also been an excellent partner to us following the full remodel of our home. There have been small tweaks here and there that have needed attention and John's been incredibly responsive. We would not work with anyone else if we were to embark upon this project again.

I've worked on several projects on which North Bay Construction has been the general contractor and they have all turned out extremely well, and John is a pleasure to work with. He's very thorough and professional and is a good planner. He's also friendly and gets on with the job at hand. He works well with his accomplished cadre of subs. All projects have been finished in a timely manner and within the reasonable budgets he sets, so you can't ask for more!

We have been collaborating with North Bay Construction for many years. I can not say enough great things about John Fox and his team. They are very knowledgeable and extremely professional. You will not be disappointed when you hire John Fox as your general contactor.

We are glad that we hired North Bay Construction for our home renovation. John and Judit are super easy to communicate with. Best of all, they respond very quickly through texts or emails. It was our first renovation, so we knew nothing. They guided us through everything and we truly appreciated that. We also like their crew, especially Alberto and Hector. We visited the site once a week to check on progress and answer any questions the crew had. Would recommend to do the same if you have time because there were many construction details that were good to discuss live. Renovation is not an easy task, but you will be in good hands with North Bay Construction. They are trustworthy and reliable, and delivered impeccable work, on time, and on budget.

Excellent job remodeling my 1 bedroom condo! Complete remodel (kitchen, bathroom, living room) done perfectly in time. All my requests were promptly addressed. Great quality and management, thanks!

My experience with John Fox of North Bay Construction was absolutely excellent! I’ve worked with many contractors over the years and he is the best by far. The project was finished in a timely manner and he was in touch whenever I needed him. I highly recommend him and his company.

Look no further, NBC is exceptional We found NBC in the fall of 2017 when searching endlessly for general contractors for a full remodel we were doing to our home in San Francisco. Kitchens, baths, plumbing, heating, paint, floors...the works There must be too much business in the city because many of the high end GCs we met with were cocky and noted that they didn't even want to consider a job if it was less than $500k. Unbelievable! Our first meeting with John Fox at NBC was exactly the opposite. John was pleasant, knowledgeable, and seemed genuinely excited to work with us. He took the time to understand our vision, and even suggested designers that we might want to work with for floor plans, kitchen & bath layouts, and cabinetry. Over the coming weeks we met with John and Judit numerous times and agreed on the full scope of work at a reasonable price, and then the NBC team got to work. Everyone knows that a full home remodel comes with its set of challenges. Every home is unique and you never know what you're going to encounter when you open up walls and see what's inside. This is where the NBC team shines. We encountered everything from faulty plumbing, to a worn out furnace, to leaks in our roof and siding...we also decided to change some things along the way, including install some new windows, changing the locations of a few doors, and rewiring the electrical. Alberto, the foreman we had on site throughout the project, was phenomenal in explaining everything that was going on and presenting us with our options. It was clear that he knew what he was doing, and the NBC team took great pride in doing top notch work. John also checked in with us weekly on site to review the progress We only had a couple of issues with subcontractors throughout the process but every time we were frustrated John and the NBC team worked through the issues in a calm and straight forward manner, always leaving us feeling like he had our best interests in mind. Thanks to John, Alberto, and the whole team at NBC we now have a beautifully remodeled home. If you are looking around for a high quality GC in San Francisco I'd stop right now and contact the folks at NBC Construction, you won't regret it!

John Fox and his miracle team are awesome. We had a 2 bedroom & 1 1/4 San Francisco Flat that John and his team turned into a 3 bedroom & 2 bath (en suite) flat. We had dark paneling throughout, which we loved. We had contractors come in and say that it would be impossible to keep the paneling because it would be impossible to match. With John it never even came up as a challenge. We were so worried our home wouldn't retain the San Francisco feel that we fell in love with. With the addition of the bedroom and the new walls, you can't even tell where the old walls were, it looks perfect. He found a glass specialist who created a piece of art and solved a challenging design issue with the creation of the new room. John's communication skills are top notch and he follows through with what he says he's going to do 100%. Remodeling is stressful on everyone, but with someone like John - kind,honest,competent - in your corner it makes the process doable. We didn't have a designer helping us through the decision making, John was patient and his team helpful, my visions literally came to life. We are so happy with our results, and would use his team again in a heart beat with absolutely no hesitation.

We worked with John on a large 6-7 month re-model project and had a great experience. John really took care of us during the project and after. All the work turned out great and since the project wrapped up he has been super responsive with any small requests that have come up. John is great and trustworthy guy that knows the business well. Exactly what you want in a contractor. Thank you John!

North Bay Construction was a pleasure to work with. John and team are professional, ethical and extremely efficient. Our condo remodel included kitchen/bath renovation along with replacing wood floors throughout the unit. They stayed on schedule, paid attention to detail and we couldn't be more pleased!

John donated materials to my son's school for an art project, and even though it was not a contracting job, I was so happy with his professionalism and his time and generosity. He answered my emails right away and picked up the tiles for me so I could get them easily. It was such a pleasure interacting with him and his assistant. Thank you!

We just finished a four-month remodel project with John and North Bay and had a fantastic experience. John is a busy guy with many teams and ongoing projects, but somehow he always makes you feel like your project is his #1 priority. He is super responsive, attentive to detail, sensitive to your particular needs and timelines, and committed to ensuring you're happy with the final product. He chases down permitting with the City on his own time and dollar, advises you ahead of time and asks you to confirm when things go above budget (whether because you decide to do more/different work or unforeseen issues arise), sends weekly emails recapping what was completed that week and what will be completed in the next two weeks, regularly meets in person to discuss ideas and do walk-throughs, meticulously coordinates all of North Bay's subs, etc. We needed to move in on a particular date and John kept his word, making sure the work was completed on a very tight timeline. There were small touch-ups that needed to be done after we moved in, but John made sure they were done promptly. Mateo, the foreman on our project, was also fantastic. He and all the teams who worked on our house did beautiful work and were very respectful of our time and space. They never grumbled when we were super nit-picky (which was often), and approached everything with a positive attitude. Judit in North Bay's office is also great - - again, very responsive, professional, and thorough. Perhaps most importantly, the work North Bay did on our place is top notch. We feel very fortunate to have worked with them and look forward to future projects.

We worked with North Bay Construction for our house remodel and couldn't be happier! Everything turned out as we envisioned. His crew was thorough, respectful, accountable, and super communicative. His subs were all fantastic and did excellent work. Luckily, we didn't have many hiccups but we were grateful that NB was open and fair when there were challenges.

I am an Architect and had the pleasure of working with John and his team on a recent project and we are currently working together on a new one. John is very professional and easy to work with. I know that my clients were very happy with his work and are enjoying their beautifully renovate home. I would highly recommend his company.

John is a first rate contractor that understands how to work with clients and is detail oriented. We have requested John to work on several projects of ours and have experienced top notch professionalism. We at Ogle Design would recommend John on all of our residential projects due to his character and ability to execute high design.

We worked with John for a kitchen and bathroom remodel and he amazed us with the utmost professional service. Updates were communicated every week and it was clear he was on top of everything that needed to be done. He's extremely attentive to your needs and will stop at nothing to make sure you are happy with your home. I'd recommend John highly to anyone looking to work with someone who takes your house as seriously as you would. We'd work with him again in a heartbeat.

I was hired by our client to help her redesign her kitchen and to assist in hiring a contractor. John was the first contractor we interviewed and we were both so impressed that we did not look further! John made the job so easy for both my client and me. His trades are excellent and his in house team of Hector and Amanda are easy to work with and all such pro's. John's customer service is really what sets him apart. John is fast, very easy to work with, professional and always puts the client's best interest first. As a designer, I'm happy to have found a contractor in San Francisco that I can recommend to my clients. I hope to work with John again.

I had the pleasure of working with John and his team on 2 bathroom remodels, re roofing and building out a dressing room. As an interior designer, I appreciated the professionalism John employs in his business. He paid great attention to detail and more important than anything, he was on time and on budget. I'l looking forward to working with him again on future projects.

As a residential interior designer, NorthBay Construction is an ideal partner. Professional, experienced, and an excellent network of sub's help manage the project and the client's expectations. Their collaborative efforts contribute to a creative process and a beautiful end result.

John worked on an extensive remodel of our apartment, including two new bathrooms and other major work. He was responsive and responsible and his work was excellent. We look forward to working with him on future projects.

I have worked with John, "North bay" over the last 8 years. John is one of my top general contractors and a pleasure to work with. He is easy going and very willing to work to achieve the high standards he provides. Thomas Kenihan Acacia Glass Co

Reaching the level of detail and quality that I needed for my lower-floor remodel was high bar that they reached and exceeded, while staying within budget. The level of their craftsmanship and the sourcing the right subcontractors made a huge difference in the beautiful end results!

I am a kitchen and bath designer and I come across many contractors in my work. It has been my pleasure to work with the Sf North Bay construction team on a recent job in San Francisco and it has been a great experience. The field team is knowledgeable professional and efficient, they stick to the agreed upon budget and schedule. The office management team does and excellent job in communicating and following up with information needed to keep the work flow without a hitch. They are a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them! I will be recommending them to my other clients a well.

Amazing job! John, his crew and all the subcontractors absolutely exceeded expectations. We did a bathroom remodel and a serious house facelift (opened walls, refinished floors, new paint, new doors, new windows, updated garage). We knew from the start that John was honest and thorough and the person we wanted to work with just by reading his incredibly thoughtful and detailed bid for our project. We had started the project working with a designer who had no regard for our budget and designed a project that we loved but was way too expensive. About a quarter of the way into the remodel, we fired our designer and depended on John to guide us through the rest of the project. He helped us find beautiful alternatives of great quality that were a fraction of the price of what our designer had tried to make us buy. The work happened on time! We finished the project ahead of schedule. Everyone who came to the house was hardworking, friendly, respectful and did beautiful work. We are thrilled to be home and it looks amazing. We owe it to John! Thank you!

NorthBay Construction exceeded our expectations. 1.) NorthBay Construction was very considerate of our budget and remarkably stayed within our budget-- even given our many changes and upgrades. Charges were transparent and the accounting was very organized. 2) John responded immediately to every question and never acted annoyed about our many changes during the project and my designers perfectionism. He coordinated all subcontractors seamlessly and juggled any unforeseen circumstances with precision and ease. It was like having a friend around who really set the tone for an anxiety-free, well-done project. 3) Most importantly, we now have two beautifully remodeled bathrooms where my family and guests feel like they are indulging in a 5 star experience. We are so happy we found and used NorthBay construction-- we couldn't have imagined working with anyone better.

John and his crew were absolutely amazing!! We hired them to do a six month full floor renovation that included: - Home office with custom built in cabinetry - Walk-in master closet - Master bedroom with a modern wood/metal accent wall - Fully decked out bathroom with marble to ceiling, steam shower, jet tub, Toto toilet, heated towel warmer, custom glass enclosure, & custom cabinetry to match office - Replacing all windows on ocean facing side of house, including replacing custom crown molding and fixing siding leaks - Hardwood floors throughout, matching original 1913 flooring First off, they were incredibly polite to my neighbors, enough that many of them commented on how courteous they were and asked for business cards for their services. Second, they put up with my perfectionistic eye for detail and made the changes without complaint. Third, they provided an update every Sunday or Monday with a list of what they were accomplishing that week and any questions they needed answered from us -- very organized and transparent. And lastly, they provided a fixed bid that they kept to and for any change orders I requested, they meticulously sent through pre-approvals to ensure we were both on the same page regarding costs. I have another basement remodel project I likely will embark on in five years and I would definitely hire them again.

John and is team were outstanding on our home remodel. They renovated our guest bathroom, guest bedroom, media room and built a new staircase . All if it was executed better than how we had imagined it. We couldn't be happier with the results. John and his team of sub contractors were professional through out the entire project. We were so happy with John and his team that we need to use them to renovate our master bathroom - they made the smaller guest bathroom better than the larger master.

We hired John and NorthBay Construction to remodel our house in the Haight and are very pleased with the work. John is honest, hard-working, and easy to communicate with. He has a strong team of subs and called in a few highly skilled craftsmen for some complicated work on our Victorian house. John did a great job staying within the budget, but didn't meet all of our deadlines. That being said, we continue to call John for any construction work we need done and are consistently pleased with his work.

I used John and his company NorthBay Construction for the remodel of my Outer Sunset house. The remodel included extending ground level of the house and building out a master bed, bath and closet. It was a great experience beginning from the quoting process all of the way through completion. NorthBay Construction was the only bidder that brought their subs to the house for a walk thru, which allowed them to provide a very detailed bid. John was great to work with and clearly communicated the progress made, work remaining and any issues that cropped up during the previous day. He was flexible in working with my designer and all of this subs were great to work with as well (and I have used several of them for other smaller jobs since then). I look forward to using NorthBay Construction on my next remodeling project

North Bay Construction was a pleasure to work with on the recent renovation of a historic San Francisco house. John Fox has an excellent team. They are committed to quality construction with great attention to detail and exceptional workmanship. John is a hands on contractor who is fully committed to client satisfaction, not to mention, he is easy to work with, a strong communicator, knows the ins and outs of the city, and always has a positive approach to any situation. I would highly recommend North Bay Construction, their outstanding reputation is truly deserved.

We’d love to recommend John Fox & his company, North Bay Construction. We used him for our kitchen & 2 bathroom remodel of our Victorian house in the Mission in 2013. We used him again in 2014/2015 to carve out a section of our garage to make a playroom/guest area and he also re-built two decks as part of a large backyard renovation. John Fox is an excellent communicator; he kept us appraised of progress & next steps at least weekly, if not more. He is quick to respond any time you need him. Fox is also great at explaining everything that needs to be done and gave us a realistic expectation of cost & time involved. He's also great with pulling all necessary permits, letting you know what you can do, how to get around anything you can't, ways to keep costs down, etc. In addition, he worked well with the many different crews that were involved in our project (designer, landscape contractor, subs, etc…). After the job was completed, John checked back in to make sure everything was still OK with the work they completed.

I've just completed a 4 month project with SF North Bay Construction. I could not talk more highly about John and his company and would extremely recommend both without any hesistation. I found him to be a very effective communicator with great attention to detail. Throughout the job I saw him very regularily and found both him and his subcontractors to be very trustworthy and honest. Anyone in the SF area looking to complete a remodel whether large or small i urge you to contact this company.

After few months looking for a general contractor finally we found "North Bay Construction" John Fox as owner is extremely retailer with every small detail in the budget, his personal charisma makes every thing easier, always makes time to take care of you project. "North Bay Construction" has a great team, very respectful, always on time, organized. They never gave to us any problem during the time they worked in our home. The manager project of the company is very helpful and incredibly professional with every paperwork that we needed We high recommend "North Bay Construction"

As project manager for a flooring contractor I work with a number of General Contractors. Dealing with John and his crew is an absolute joy! His knowledge of the industry is fantastic and it helps move thru projects efficiently. We are always looking forward to the next project. Mike Jenness California Wood Floors

As a high end residential cabinet maker I have found NB Construction to be very professional, prompt in response time and attentive to details. We have collaborated with NB Construction on a number of projects with great results and, most importantly, customer satisfaction.

John and his team did the build out on my new retail location. They were professional, respectful of the neighbors, and stayed within budget. Equally as important, they were responsive when the job was done, returning to make adjustments and fixes that inevitably arise on a job like ours. Since then, I've called on John for advice or which he has readily provided.

I've worked with John and NorthBay Construction on several residential projects, and he's always been extremely personable, attentive, and most importantly for my clients, reasonably priced. As an architect I appreciate that he's as concerned as I am about following the plans and accomplishing the detailing with a high level of quality. Great to work with.

I started working with John several years ago. I am a local interior designer and we met on a project several years ago. He was so easy to work with and did such a good job I have worked with him since then several times. The subs he uses are all great and there is always harmony on the job. I am always relieved when I know I will be working with him because he is focused, cooperative and holds a high value on getting the job done right and on time.

John and his team redid our kitchen and 3 bathrooms along with painting and electrical work throughout the unit. The result is fantastic....the quality of the work is very good. Highest marks for the tiling and electrical work and final detailing. Every last minor detail was handled. The project went over by a little in both budget and timing, but John was communicative throughout the process on any cost or timing issues. Very collaborative. Could not be happier with the final results. We get raves on how beautiful the upgrade has been.

I knew immediately that John Fox of North Bay Construction would be the contractor to remodel our condo in San Francisco. John and his crew were professional, always on time, and guided me through every step of the project. He was always there when we were out of town and the work was exceptional. It was a huge job and well done. We would recommend John Fox for all your construction needs. Rose Rose and Arnie Spanjers

John was an excellent contractor, attentive, easy to communicate with and got the job done in a neat and timely fashion. If it wasn't for his painter I would have given him 5 stars. However John took care of the problem after I pointed out what was missed. I have already referred John to my friends.

Had 2 bathrooms gutted and redone. The finished product looks great. John and NB were great communicators, was always available by text. The subs were talented, great plumber and tiler. Took longer, but some of that was me with change orders. Made sure through the entire project we always had in inside toilet. Bid came in at the middle, still not cheap but the end result was worth it.
