G Family Construction

I cannot say enough great things about G Family Construction. Jon and team did an extensive remodel of one level of our house (bed, bath, laundry, mudroom, garage) including replacing supports on our chimney, installing a new sump pump, repairing stucco and bolting our house to its foundation. They were prompt, nice to work with, transparent (no other contractor I have worked with delivered such awesome spreadsheets line itemed for each job charge — no vague invoices here), and they were always available to answer questions. Chris did an awesome job managing the day-​to-​day schedule. He custom built cabinets for us and put a lot of work into matching our new finishes to the rest of our 1940s house. These guys are top of the line with reasonable prices. I would definitely hire them again!
One additional note — these guys really go the extra mile. At the very end of the project we were out of town when our drip system broke. Jon drove across town on a busy day to check everything and make sure our house was okay. Then he refused to bill me for his time. You can hire a lot of good contractors, but it is very rare to hire amazing people who just happen to be amazing contractors too.

We had a great experience with Jon and G Family. They installed new siding and windows. When they found some rot they supplied pictures and even video and discussed options. This project had a lot of moving parts and Jon was a great communicator throughout the whole process. We are very happy with the work G Family did for us and we’ll be calling them again in the future.

Jon is awesome! He and his crew built our deck within a week. He was professional, insightful, and meticulous. We definitely would hire him again.

Everything the other reviews say is true. G Family is truly a pleasure to work with! Before we found Jon G, we had met with, and even spent a bit of time working with, several other contractors, each of which was either a family friend, or a referral. In the end we had various issues with each, ranging from them giving us poor information, or quoting us ridiculous rates (one that was 4 times what anyone else quoted!) We were ready to give up, because we were sure we would never find a good contractor.
Then, in swooped G Family! Jon took on the rebuild of a staircase for us, as the original was not to code. It ended up being an extremely complicated project due to the very tight space. Jon was always communicative with me, polite, and beyond lovely to work with throughout the process. As a woman, it is never a comfortable feeling to have your house full of strange men, but within the first day, I had practically forgotten they were there. Not only that, but Jon was there throughout the entire project, sometimes working 10+ hours a day alongside his team, to get the job done on time. I was so impressed with his work ethic, and so appreciative of his kindness throughout the experience.
The bottom line is, that this family run company is really doing things right. I look forward to the opportunity to work with their team again, once we are ready for our next big project!

Trying to find a contractor is not easy, trying to find a GOOD contractor seems close to impossible — so now that you’ve found G Family, be thankful that you can stop looking. When I think of G Family I get a warm, fuzzy, happy feeling and it’s hard not to smile. Albeit this is my first personal contractor experience but I have been listening to friends and family complain for years about their negative contractor experiences.
When I first started looking I had 4 contractors come out and bid for the job. G Family not only presented with the lowest bid, their bid was $ 1,000 lower!!! The highest bid was over twice their bid! And in the end they did not charge me any more, they charged me what they quoted me!
David was a pleasure to work with. He was accommodating, kind and virtually held my hand through it all. I admitted at the beginning that I was am a worrier and may be high maintenance. Not only didn’t he flinch, he returned my calls or answered when I called! He didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me the truth — which was usually what I wanted to hear
Lastly, they finished on time. I told them the date it HAD to be done by and it was done on that date. They had to come back for a couple of easy finishing touches and were forthright and communicative throughout. Whenever I have a bigger job, G Family is who I’m going to call!!! I can’t recommend them enough. They are professional, courteous and a one-​stop shop — meaning I didn’t have to hire the architect I hired beforehand, I could have had it all done at G Family — at least I’ll know that for the next time!

Dave and Jon are great. I had a really complicated deck that needed replacing. I had 7 contractors look at it. The G family bid was not only up to a third cheaper than the others, they were also the most, creative, enthusiastic, and most pleasant. The whole job went very smoothly. Their workmanship was excellent. The job was finished well within the schedule. They went out of their way to ensure I was satisfied. All their crew were extremely pleasant even when it was windy and raining. I love our new deck. It was a real pleasure having them build for us. I first discovered them when I asked a Marin forum for some recommendations and three separate people sent me amazing rave reviews about G Family construction. The reviews were proven right.

G Family Construction is an excellent choice for your construction/​design needs. I’ve seen them do all sorts of jobs ranging from high-​end custom built remodels to fixing my screen door on a saturday afternoon. They have an outstanding attention to detail, and are willing to work with you to get what you want. Whats more, they actually enjoy what they do, and it shows in their work and in their attitudes. This is an honest, family run business and I would recommend Jon and Dave Grabham (and company) to anyone.
