Overall, good communication with the contractor. He is very thorough and knows his stuff. I liked the fact that he and just 1 helper did all the work - There were lots of complications - but nothing of that was the contractor's fault. It is just extremely difficult to incorporate the new structural requirements in an old building.

Description of Work
I used Mike Cahalan to do a partial earthquake retrofit in a 6-unit apartment bldg in SF. I had gotten 2 estimates and he matched the slightly lower estimate. He started and finished right on time and did some additional dry rot repairs which were not related to the earthquake retrofit job. The job passed the bldg inspection without problems. I would definitely hire Cahalan construction again.

Mike Cahalan gave us bid on replacing windows and painting the exterior. Although we decided to go with two separate contractors (one windows, one painting) Mike gave a competitive bid and was very professional. He came out quickly, stayed in touch, and gave us a competitive bid. We will keep in mind for any future projects.

They started the job a little later than anticipated, but a start date was never confirmed. Once they started, they were at our house every day on time. They were always courteous, respectful, and always nice enough to answer any less than stellar questions we might have. There was a slight snag in waiting for inspections, but they applied for and obtained everything we needed prior to start of the job. Everything was signed off on. And any issue we had was fixed immediately. These guys are tops and did a fantastic job.
Description of Work
We had a total bathroom renovation, from the pipes to the completed bathroom. Mike's team demo-ed, installed and ran pipes to new locations, installed new floor, sheetrock, fixtures, venting, fan, and lights, as well as painting and installing towel bars and tiling. Soup to nuts, they did it.

Each case was different. The last time I used him was to update lighting in the kitchen, dining room, and family room. As above, he came several times to map out the project, started on time and ended on time, with minimal fuss or mess.
Description of Work
I actually hired Cahalan for several jobs, beginning w/ siding in 2007, then seismic work, then electrical work on my home in SF. He was excellent; came as scheduled, kept to the estimates for both price and schedule, cleaned up when done, and came back to address any outstanding issues - all of which were minor and easily remedied. I have recommended him to family and friends, and would continue to use him if I had stayed in SF.

They are a licensed contractor and had an excellent price in comparison to three other quotes I got. They are a fairly small outfit, although they were very good and stayed with it. His workman were very good about clean up and staying with the work to get it done.

Everything turned out quite well. The price was reasonable and the work was extremely timely. He was very easy to work with, and was extremely down-to-earth and practical. He got the appropriate permits before work began, which I appreciated. I was happy with his work and would use him again.
Description of Work
He removed some interior dry-rot from the floor of one room in the basement, and he then excavated exteriorly and in the garage to create a trench. He installed a waterproof shield, exterior French drain, and connected it to the existing drain in the garage. He then recapped some existing foundation in the garage to prevent any water damage.

LAUREN W.
This job was finished on time and professionally. The final cost was higher than the bid because a new problem was discovered during the course of work (a rain gutter had to be installed). The repairs were meant to fix a leaky area and they withstood the recent winter storms well -- no leaks to date.

Repair and replacement of wood siding and installation of a rain gutter.

We had plans drawn up by an engineer and interviewed several contractors. Some claimed they couldn't do the job for anything near our budget and didn't give an estimate, some quibbled with the engineer's specs and tried to allow us to do things differently, others that submitted estimates were way too high. Cahalan looked at the plans, did not argue with what was designed, presented an estimate that was the lowest by far. He started the work when he said he would, completed the job on time and passed all building inspections. Despite some unexpected discoveries when doing excavating that required additional work, Cahalan was able to adapt and solve the problem without charging extra.
Description of Work
Replaced foundation, excavated and rebuilt retaining wall, repaired exterior stairs, installed drainage system and connected to sewer line, installed exterior water faucets plus did several minor interior jobs like laying new linoleum and sheetrock repair.
