What They've Said
Below is a sample collection of what our clients have said about us...
-
- “I would put them as an upper-tier GC. They’re more sophisticated than ones I’ve worked with in the past and are a pleasant group.”

- “They do good work which is why I’ve brought them in. They’re very thorough, and focused on a project. They’ve brought ideas on superior ways of doing things.”

- “I deal with a lot of people in this business, and they are always professional. I really do like Mike and their company. I don’t see them as a CM. I really see them as a GC. We work on jobs where there are CMs and I don’t really like them. They tend to go to the owner and point fingers to justify their fees. I see Abbeyside as a mid-size GC with multi-family work. They’re hands-on. Dealing with CMs – Mike is much more thorough than a lot of those who are hired.”

- “The big thing is that you get Mike. Our experience with other general contractors is that you get the BD person upfront but then it’s a matter of which teams you get… You wind up with a lot of people with a lot of checks and balances with no one taking responsibility for the whole project.”

FROM A HOMEOWNER
-
- “We wish to express our thanks and appreciation to everyone at Abbeyside Construction, Inc., the General Contractor that was hired to perform extensive renovation/remodeling work at our multi-story single-family home in the Forest Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, CA.
- The extensive renovation/remodeling, including lifting the entire house in order to rebuild/level the foundation, replacing and upgrading all electrical and plumbing systems, extending the entire home by ten feet, coordinating with all subcontractors to make sure the work was done properly and on time, and working with the architect, soils engineer, structural engineer, interior designer, and the San Francisco Building Inspection Department to make sure the project was completed within 12-13 months from the start of construction.
- The work done by everyone was professional, meticulous, code-compliant, and solid.
- As customers, it is always important to be kept informed of the ongoing construction work. Michael (Mickey) Coleman, the President of Abbeyside Construction, Con Lyons, the Construction Superintendent, and Michelle McGuire always provided updates several times per week and invited us to come to the home on numerous occasions to tour/see/observe the progress during the entire construction project.
- After we moved into our home, we encountered several minor issues. We contacted Abbeyside Construction and told them about these issues. Within a day, Abbeyside Construction had a work crew or arranged for one of its subcontractors to come to the house to fix the minor issue.
- We have told all of our family members and friends that Abbeyside Construction should be the first and only choice to be the General Contractor on any construction project.
- Abbeyside Construction has earned our highest personal recommendation, and we thank them for everything they have done to help our family move into a beautiful home.”

FROM A HOMEOWNER
-
- “We’d highly recommend Abbeyside Construction. We worked with the team from Abbeyside on a complete remodel and seismic upgrade of a three-story Victorian in San Francisco. Our project was a down-to-the-studs project, and in addition to reimagining the house’s interior, we had all-new electrical, plumbing, and significant structural changes. The project came in on time and under budget.
- Abbeyside and their team were not just contractors; they were partners in our project. We involved them early in the design and permit approval process, and they were with us every step of the way. They worked through issues with us, shared their perspectives, and offered innovative and cost-effective alternatives to maintain our desired quality. Even when changes and modifications were necessary during construction, Abbeyside’s open communication ensured there were no surprises.
- We’re extremely happy customers of Abbeyside Construction.”
