Teevan restored our Victorian in the Mission to its former glory with the utmost professionalism and original detail. Their crew, Wilmer, and their management Nick and Sandra, were outstanding to work with. There was never a moment, even when there were some unforeseen issues, where i questioned the project would be done on time and on budget

I wanted to take the time and provide a glowing review for Ben and his team at Teevan even though we did not end up hiring them for our remodel project at this time. Their passion, expertise and candidness really made a strong impression with me, and I can definitely see why they have so many happy and loyal clients. If ever we have another project that suits their unique set of talents, I will definitely consider them again!

Teevan was recommended by our leak detection company. I had troubkle getting ahold of them and complained. And then the President of the Company wrote me an apologized for the delay in getting back to me. So, now I am completely satisfied and I will try to use them for my project.

Teevan did spectacular work restoring and making our Edwardian on Russian Hill beautiful and water tight. Teevan has done several home improvement projects for us over the years and we are very grateful for their attention, care, and results!
