By Matthew V.July 6, 2021Living Room Remodeling
It was awesome. AAA Construction & Design is so great. The project started on time, they worked every day with no delays. They are quick and responsive with any issues. They do incredible work. The workmanship is beautiful. We did a lot of tiling and it is perfect. The crew were very responsive, friendly, polite, and professional. They take the appropriate time to do an incredible job. I will be hiring them again on the next home project.

By Valerie L.December 1, 2020Whole apartment remodel$60,000
I've been a property owner in SF over a decade and AAA is the best contractor I've worked with. When I had a timely project come up but my go-to contractor was already full, I surveyed my network and a friend gave a very strong recommendation for AAA. During the first visit, they gave a fair quote and I was impressed with the additional ideas they had for what could be done with the space. Throughout the project (a large remodel of 3 bedroom) I could trust Art (owner/project manager), Andrey (client contact) and their crew with their: skill, competency, customer-centric approach, responsiveness, and reliability. As anyone who has worked with multiple contractors can attest, it's very rare to find a contractor who is excellent at all of those. They did this project during Covid and were always diligent with navigating that additional complexity in a courteous manner. They also don't upsell aggressively. All in all a terrific experience and they will be my go-to contractor in the future.

By valeriehoftFebruary 10, 2020Remodel of 3 bathrooms, flooring, lighting throughout home
We met with close to a dozen contractors and ended up finding AAA Construction & Design in the last hour - we were SO thankful to have found this team and 100% recommend them.
We did a 4-month remodel of multiple bathrooms / floors / electrical in our 2-story townhome and the experience was fantastic. From our first interaction with the team, we were impressed with their communication and the detailed initial quote. Our project was completed on time and on budget - we even decided to add additional scope because we were impressed with how things were coming along with our initial scope. The additional scope was billed to us at the fair rate we agreed upon at initial contract signing.
Also, wanted to mention that we lived in our home throughout the construction. The entire team that would go in/out during the day when we were at work were careful, diligent, and respectful of our home.
We have referred AAA to all of our friends and colleagues who are considering a remodel, and we plan to use AAA again in the future if we have other needs. Thank you again AAA for a wonderful experience - we love our home upgrades! We never expected to find a team we trusted so much.

Andrey and Art helped us immensely with our project. They are kind and honest people who were straight forward and upfront. We wished we had hired them at the onset of our project, but ended up going with a company that came in a lower in price. We had a horrible experience with the other company and called Andrey to see if AAA could take over. We are so grateful for all their efforts and expertise and would recommend them in a heartbeat.

We were extremely pleased with the design and outcome of our recent bathroom remodel by AAA Construction and Design. We are especially delighted by the way they engineered some complex tile work. The tile craftsman they used was Vitaly and he was truly brilliant in both his aesthetic understanding and his expertise in the actual work. We are also grateful to our project manager Artem who always addressed our needs and concerns in a professional and responsive manner. Thank you all at AAA Construction. You have exceeded our expectations!!.

By Carlos G.June 9, 2018Kitchen remodel
Choosing AAA Construction was one of the best decisions we made in our complete kitchen renovation in San Francisco. We had never done a major remodel so we had many questions. Andrey gave us good advice at the beginning of the project and a detailed quote. Art managed the project throughout and Sergey was a skilled tradesman. We were impressed with how quickly work moved forward.
When we had a project delay (the delay was not within AAA’s control), they were flexible and adjusted the timeline. Throughout the whole project, Art and Andrey communicated with us using Google Hangouts so we were always able to get a reply to questions. In addition, they were conscientious about materials and clean up so we had no issues with our HOA or neighbors. We are happy with the final result, and the project stayed within budget. We highly recommend AAA Construction.

Kitchen Remodel
I decided spur of the moment to redo my kitchen and contacted AAA based on their Yelp reviews. Andrey was able to show up within 24 hours and get a proposal over to me that same day with a start date the following week.
Their team was professional, organized, efficient, pleasant to deal with, respectful of my home and their expectation setting was on point. Everything came in on time, on budget and properly project-managed. They truly wanted me to be happy when it was completed and I would not hesitate to use them again. These are the kind of guys you give hugs to when the job is done. Good peeps. -
By Cliff C.March 1, 2018Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel$56,000
We had a great experience with AAA Construction remodeling our kitchen and bathroom. They stayed perfectly on budget throughout the entire experience, for which we are very grateful. Other contractors gave us quotes that were significantly more expensive, but AAA's quote was right in our price range, and they provided excellent results.
The work was done beautifully. We absolutely love our new cabinets, tile floors and backsplashes, quartz countertops, beautiful shower, and more. Our little condo has been completely transformed, thank you!

AAA is a team of superior professionals. We hired them to remodel our kitchen and bath, turn our pantry into a laundry room, and install new hallway lighting, and we are completely satisfied with the results. Andrey met with us right away, and was immediately responsive to our needs, for the project and for our budget. His bid was detailed and accurate. He remained involved throughout the project, and was available for consultation when we needed to make changes. As project manager, Art scheduled the work carefully, and coordinated with us on every aspect, He knows the complicated SF codes, and had a practical solution to every problem. Art and his team of highly skilled professionals, especially Eugene and Sergey, did all the work beautifully and consulted with us on the details . We recommend AAA Construction most highly, and would definitely hire them again. They are true professionals with a great attitude, and a pleasure to work with!

By Nick B.April 18, 2017Verified Hiregeneral contractors project
We just completed a sizable remodeling project with AAA and we're very happy with the experience and the results. In fact I'm a bit hesitant to write this review because great contractors are in short supply, and I don't want to share them since I have other projects lined up ;)
When Art, one of the partners, came to walk through for the bid, he showed the most attention to detail, know-how and focus on results of all other candidates. That combined with a detailed and competitive quote led us to choose AAA.
Although Art wasn't on site daily, he kept track of the progress, showed up at critical stages and dispatched subcontractors as needed.
A constant and reassuring presence on site was Eugene, aka Zhenya who acted as the foreman, solution finder, problem solver, and master troubleshooter. We live in an old Eichler home (post and beam, no attic, no crawl space, concrete slab below), so not a single thing about the project was trivial. Yet Eugene put his engineering degree and experience to good use and figured out how to accomplish just about everything with quality and precision.
Another major contributor and a true craftsman was Sergey - he did most things plumbing and a gorgeous tiling job.
Overall, here's what I think of AAA as a business: they are honest, they are fair, they are hardworking and diligent, and they have a knack for engaging talented and skillful people.

By Nicholas T.April 11, 2017Verified HireSF Small Bathroom Remodeling Project
I had a great experience using AAA construction on my bathroom remodel in San Francisco. Andrey, Art and the rest of the team are very responsive and knowledgeable when it came to the complexities of working in SF and with an HOA under strict rules.
AAA was very fair with pricing and the changes that were made due to the existing conditions not fitting the initial design.
Art the project manager was the main point of contact after the bidding process and Alex handled most of the construction in the project. Vitaly performed some incredible tile work.
Both I and the property manager would highly recommend AAA to anyone and will definitely use them again...Kitchen is next on the list!

Art is a star. If you have the chance to hire him hurry up and do it because the guy is going to be booked for the next few years for sure. You will need to wait a bit for him to fit you in but definitely worth the wait.
I hired Art to redo 3 bathrooms and my Kitchen, put in new trim throughout the home, paint the entire interior and remodel the family room. Art was not the cheapest quote we received but his ideas were the most innovative and creative. Also the quality of work was beyond my expectations.
Art and his crew not only did a great job, they were beyond professional, always working hard to do the best job possible. I really can't say enough about him and his business, if I could give 6 stars I would.
He is the goods, an honest, thoughtful professional in this world and that should be honored. He is not your typical contractor; Art gives me faith in the construction business and in the human spirit.
Thanks Art and AAA for a job well done. Can't wait to have him back to remodel our guest house!

I can't say enough good things about Art & Andrey. I found Andrey after my real estate broker told me that of the 5 contractors she called, 2 did not show up for their appointment and 1 never sent a quote. And one contractor came out, but I didn't get a quote for over 3 weeks. Once he did give me a quote, he said he couldn't start until after New Year's.
I became desperate. I decided to look for someone, myself and found AAA Construction on Yelp. I called them on a Thursday. Andrey came out the same day. He promptly gave me a quote the next morning and started on the job the following Tuesday. They are not a 1-2 man show, they have multiple teams, who work on rotational basis, as the job requires. They have plumbing specialists, tile only specialists, and sheet rock and paint guys. The kept every single part of the agreement that they made with me, including being available to receive new appliances at the property. They handled all of the inspection scheduling as well. I travel a lot for work, so this made my life much easier. They estimated 4 weeks for my master and half bathroom but were done in 3.
They did this during the month of December, which is amazing, given the number of holidays. His prices are not the lowest, but for the service and quality, it was more than reasonable. They arranged to pick up all materials, which I selected, and they found suppliers that were much more affordable than Marin County stores.
It's difficult to find someone who keeps their word in this industry. Andrey & Art exceeded every expectation I had. I have referred them to my agent, as well as to the neighborhood association manager for future contracting needs.
They are awesome!!!!

By Jeffrey G.April 15, 2015
Andrey and Vitali are amazing. This is a first-class business in every respect. We have had work done in other rooms by different contractors in the past and I can only say that I wish I found AAA Construction & Design earlier. From the moment we received the quote to the minute we received the final invoice, everything was better than we could have hoped. The job was done quicker than estimated and it came out better than we had dreamed.
Vitali is a miracle worker. He was completely respectful of our time and our home. The job took about a week and even though we said he did not need to take down the plastic tarp each night, he did not want us inconvenienced by any materials and did so anyway. He put on booties at all time he was in the house. He checked-in with us at each stage and explained everything he was doing. He went above-and-beyond in making every little detail perfect.
I would be a referral for these guys for any and every job and we will ABSOLUTELY be hiring them again for our next project.
You would be doing yourself a disservice if you did not hire this team.

By Maurice G.April 15, 2015house remodel
AAA Construction is by far the best general contractor company I've ever worked with. They gave me a straightforward estimate on what it would cost to remodel my kitchen, dining room, walk-in pantry, and bathroom after a major flood that happened during the crazy rains we had.
I got 6 bids total as the work to be done was not specific to one area of the house, I need a company that can do it all. Andrey's bid was totally reasonable and the high quality of work I received honestly should have come with a higher price tag, especially in Marin!
The notice matched the estimate exactly. Not only that, but he got me the estimate within 1 day of coming out. Compared to the other companies I called, wow these guys really have it together.
Once the project was started, on time I must add. The team left the work site extremely clean each day as if they weren't even there. The worked fast, and did an absolutely beautiful job.
It's like the flood never happened, but it did and the house is better then ever!!!
I'd recommend them to anyone.
AAA will be doing all of my home improvements from now on.
Five stars!

Very recently, we had Art remodel/rebuild our entire kitchen. We took several bids and contacted the references prior to selecting Art. We are extremely happy with his work.
and very fortunate that we met Art. He is passionate about what he does, always thought about a solution for any challenge that came up, he thinks out of the box which was extremely helpful in a large project like ours. Art and his crew are very reliable, professional and very pleasant to work with. More than anything else, he treated our house as his own and that made a huge difference.
I can't say enough about how wonderful Art was to work with. His enthusiasm and relentless work ethic makes him a great contractor. I highly recommend Art for any construction project and I would do it again and again !!! -

Art has remodeled almost our entire home in the past 4 years. Bathrooms, kitchen, floors, and fixtures. We have always had a great experience working with Art. He is extremely professional and has worked with us to make sure that we stayed on budget and got the best quality products. I completely trust his opinion and he has a great eye for design. When I decide on our next project Art will be the first to know!

By Tetyana K.April 15, 2015
Of all the companies I called to provide estimates for an addition and fire place rebuild, a couple never showed up, a couple never followed up with a written estimate. One of the big companies even sent me an unsolicited estimate without ever coming out to my home, not sure what the story is behind that.
Of the companies that did show up, only Art went up on the roof to inspect and evaluate the chimney, roof, and gutters. He also took pictures with his digital camera to show me the current condition. A couple of days later, I received a clearly outlined estimate via email, which I accepted a week later after doing my due diligence by looking up state licenses, and any online reviews. The before and after pictures on his site of past work were also helpful in my decision to go with AAA.
Art's crew showed up early and stayed late the first day of work and for the next couple of days Art called to keep me updated on the progress. The finished work is spectacular!. I would definitely recommend AAA to my family, friends and anyone reading!!!

Art and his team at AAA Construction installed recessed lighting in two rooms and ceiling fans in five. We found Art to be very competent, honest, and timely. He advised us on different options and gave accurate cost estimates. Overall he was very easy to work with and provided us with professional results. We'd certainly recommend Art and his team to others and plan to call for larger projects in the future.

We recently had Art (AAA Construction) complete our Master bathroom and walk-in closet remodel, and could not be happier with both the finished result and also the overall stress-free experience.
Firstly, Art is a great guy, always upbeat and has a 'of course you can have that' attitude. Throughout the process, Art provided a very calming approach to the construction project and nothing was a problem. He was incredibly helpful and insightful with our wants and needs, from design to materials, and has a great network of equally capable quality professionals.
As a previous referrer had mentioned, Art was the only contractor to actually provide a menu, with individual prices, of options for the work. We were able to tailor the remodel, based upon budget and priorities. Even as the process unfolded and new ideas were considered, Art provided us wiggle room to change on the go.
Art's right-hand-man, Eugene, was also wonderful and provided guidance and expert opinion on many of our queries and suggestions. Eugene guided us on several key design decisions, changing our minds to follow his suggestions, which saved us from our own misguided plans. The only time we neglected to take his advice is the only element of the project we regret. Thankfully it is small and can be fixed, though it would have been easier to have it done right the first time, by Eugene.
Art's tile man, Sergei, is also an incredible tradesman. The quality of his work far exceeded our wildest expectations. The guy is a perfectionist. His cuts and design work is artistry.
Our project was completed around the Christmas holidays, and although the timing provided some challenges with sourcing materials, Art ensured the project was completed, without any undue delay on his team's part.
The end result of our project far, far exceeded our dreams. We truly have the nicest, coolest (granted these things are personal taste) bathroom we have ever seen. It's so nice; we spend way more time in there than ever.
The only word of advice is (and this is spelt out in the contract and estimates) that the estimates are for labor only, unless specifically noted, so all basic materials from tile grout to paint to light switches, are extra. Having said that, I never felt we were overcharged for anything and Art maintains receipts for everything. This is only relevant if you're comparing price quotes, but as far as workmanship and the overall experience, doubt you'll find anyone that will provide the personal service, personality, and calmness that Art and his team provides.
I thoroughly, and without hesitation, recommend Art (AAA Construction) for any construction work, and will absolutely have them complete any work for us in the future. -

I cannot recommend Andrey and AAA Construction & Design, Inc. highly enough. I actually work in residential real estate investing and was lucky to find them. After recommending a couple of contractors to my mother in-law, she was not happy with the quotes and company representatives and found Andrey and AAA Construction & Design, Inc on Yelp! She asked me to meet him and see if it made sense to go in there direction.
His quote was not the lowest but very reasonable, which was great. Beyond that (and equally as important), Andrey returned every call, email and text within minutes and was NEVER late for an appointment. What I loved even more, they are light years ahead of the industry as far as technology goes, and will do a video call, and are Google hangouts and use Google calendar appointments for everything.
You have to love there quoting system as well. Everything is broken down to the Square / Linear foot and itemized. They leave no if's or butts.
If you have ever hired a contractor you will understand that is NOT the industry standard for communication and quoting. My past experiences include the contractor not showing up and not calling back for days at a time, and getting quotes with vague descriptions and a lump sum totals leaving gaps and room for mistakes and always getting up charged later.
Andrey is there for you during all planning stages, he works with you picking out Materials, Appliances and even passes along his discounts with local Cabinet, Stone, and Appliance retailers.
Andrey was impressive before the job, finished the work on schedule and his team did beautiful work.
As it turned out, I needed some significant work on my home and was in the process of getting quotes from the contractors at that time. I decided to go with Andrey and AAA Construction & Design, Inc. after seeing the work that there team did for my mother and I did not hesitate to book them as well.
Again, they are always on time, always available and I mean always! Days, Evenings, and Weekends. They always made sure that everything happened on schedule and within budget. If you are looking for a contractor who will call you back, stay in close touch and do wonderful work in a timely fashion, I highly recommend calling Andrey. He is now my investment company's lists go to Construction Company
Thank you very much Andrey, Art, and AAA Construction & Design, Inc. -

I have a condominium Greenbrae that was in desperate need of renovation. I selected AAA Construction based on there portfolio and the fact that they came in with the lowest estimate (from a licensed, bonded and insured company) on the work that needed to be done.
This is a rental property, so it was important that I trusted the contractor I hired. I couldn't have been any happier not only with the end result but with the ease of the project and follow through on the part of AAA.
This is an extremely professional and reliable company. My real estate agent was so impressed with the price and quality of the work that he hired them himself for his own home in Burlingame.
Thanks for a job well done AAA!

We recently had our bathroom remodeled by AAA Construction and they were great! We had started out with another Construction Co. and we quickly realized that things were not going to turn out right so we had to quickly find another Construction Company to come in and do it right. So we called Andre and by pure luck they were able to squeeze us in and complete our remodel for us. The bathroom turned out better then we could have asked for! I don't know the name of the tile guy but he had a meticulous eye and the tile work is PERFECTION! I would give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you again AAA Construction for saving our bathroom and making it the prettiest room in the house!

It was a pleasure of meeting and working with these people. They combined great profressional skills with the intuitive understanding of our needs and desires during very big, complex project that involved total tearing down walls, rebuilding / update of the kitchen and several bathrooms.
They gave us great advise what and where to buy: appliances, equipment, tiles, etc, and everything turned out to be first quality at a very reasonable price. They also turned out to be very nice, knowlegeable, smart guys, capable of finding time and money saving solutions with full compliance with the code and safety rules. Andrey, Art and their entire team were quite willing to go an extra mile and very frequently suggested better ideas than our own.
It was a pleasure to work with them.

In summary, AAA ROCKS! We have come to Art & Andrey for multiple projects in 2 different residences over the past three years. One is San Francisco and which now a rental property and our new home in Tiburon. They consistently exceeded our expectations. We have also referred Andrey to at least a dozen of our friends--who have each reported back to us experiences that went well beyond their expectations.
What we specifically appreciate about AAA:
I. They are responsive-They are a team-returning our e-mails and phone calls in a timely manner.
II. He is a good listener--making a concerted effort to listen to what we aim to do, and why we want to do it...but (and this is important) being sure to interject, when appropriate, with his experienced and professional opinion. On a number of occasions, what we had first asked of Andrey turned out not to be the best way to address the situation at hand. Andrey opened our minds to a more efficient and/or a less expensive approach, or even a different solution entirely that we would have never considered.
III. The ball park estimates are spot-on, even just over the phone. We have never been surprised. Andrey presents us with and explains options for labor and materials so that we can make an informed selection of the level of each that best fits our budget for the project. We really appreciate the fact that he has been willing to provide estimates and assist us with both very small, hourly projects, as well as large, long-term projects.
IV. Any contractors he brings into our residences have been on-time, courteous, conscientious, and CLEAN! Even during a very significant dusty, dirty kitchen demolition, Andrey and his team took great care to clean-up as best as possible at the end of each day, and to seal-off the work area with plastic so that dust and debris wouldn't migrate into other parts of the home.
V. We trust them! There have been plenty of times when Andrey has guided us to a less expensive approach to completing a task. We can also trust that when he says that we need to consider a more complicated or more expensive approach that it is truly in our best interest to take his advice. We trust Andrey's work to the point that we are comfortable arranging for him to work in our own home, and in our tenants' homes, while we are traveling out-of-town--knowing that we will return home to find the work done properly, on-time, and within budget...and that we will have interacted with our tenants with the highest degree of courtesy and conscientiousness.
