Bespoke Construction

I cannot say enough good things about working with John Fannon and Bespoke Construction. Must husband and I interviewed several contractors and received a number of bids, but we knew upon meeting John that we wanted to work with him, and it was the best decision we could have made.
We have a 3-​story 1920s home on a steep grade with a number of complicating factors in terms of layout. Rather than simply carrying out the plans as they were drawn, John carefully considered them (without us having to ask) and gave us suggestions that gave us a much better result without additional cost. (In fact, it resulted in twice the anticipated square footage in one case.) It is this type of attention to detail, interest, and commitment to getting the best possible product that sets John apart. John also knows the building codes, the inspectors, and his craft inside and out. His crew and sub-​contractors always arrived on time and were very pleasant and showed the same commitment that John does. John was great about working with us throughout the project, keeping us informed, answering questions, setting expectations, etc.
This remodel involved, among other things, opening up the back wall of the house, moving a staircase, creating a new powder room, lifting part of a ceiling line, and building a new deck off of the kitchen cantilevered over the backyard.
John is a true professional who takes pride in his work, is extremely fair and reasonable, and is very calm and personable. We cannot recommend him highly enough, and actually are looking forward to a time when we will be able to hire him for a future remodel (which, if you have lived through a remodel before, tells you a lot!).

My wife and I purchased our third floor condo built by Bespoke Construction and we unabashedly enjoyed calling it home for years. Having lived there for over 4 years until we recently moved, we saw firsthand the level of workmanship that went into building it, inside and out. Not only does it have great curb appeal off a busy street, but since the building was rebuilt from its foundation I know that numerous thoughtful elements were incorporated into the construction that we were so glad to have while we called it our home.
Everything from the floors, windows, fixtures and appliances are of the highest quality, and I know Bespoke put careful consideration and detail into energy-​saving and environmentally-​friendly elements including putting solar panels on the rooftop, using recycled building materials when available, and installing all energy efficient appliances. As homeowners, we were so grateful to live in a home that was built right both from a personal taste and environmental awareness standpoint.
We had the privilege to meet John from Bespoke and get to know him, and he’s as nice and enjoyable a person as you can get to know and work with. A class act. Can’t recommend Bespoke highly enough for any home construction or remodeling project.

The best praise I can give John and his crew is that we are going back to him for our second remodel. The first remodel was mainly structural, involving our garage, and we were very happy with his accessibility and his calm demeanor. He is practical, capable, calm, and low-​drama, which is just what we wanted in a contractor. He has young children of his own, so understood our concerns about noise and naptimes, as well as warning us when the water was going to be shut off for periods of time. We were referred to him by a friend who is very detail-​oriented and astute, so we knew her recommendation was worth its weight in gold. Next we will be working on a kitchen/​bathroom remodel with him. Looking forward to the re-​partnership.

When we started our full house gut of our century old Victorian, we had no idea what we were getting into. John was the first contractor that we interviewed and we would have saved ourselves a lot of time if we had just signed on with him right away instead of going through a full interview process with several other contractors. In the end, we went with John because he seemed knowledgeable about the work, trustworthy and a straight shooter, and also because he is someone I felt like I could work well with personality-​wise. During the course of a full-​on down to the foundations gut job, there have been many rather intense moments that I have been grateful that John is the calm, genuinely thoughtful and funny person that he is. From the foundation to the peak, John and his crew did an amazing job of transforming our drafty quirky choppy old house into a modern and comfortable home. John was not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get dirty when he needed to, and he was always available when I needed him. Even after living in the house for almost a month, we are still impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of work and materials he used simply because it was the right way to build it. Since this is our first (and hopefully last) renovation — I don’t have much to compare him to, but the seasoned architect who also acted as our construction admin was continually impressed by the quality of Bespoke’s work throughout the project. Also important to point out that we were out of town for 7 out of the 8 months of construction, and it still turned out better than we had expected. If you are seriously considering doing work, do yourself a favor and call John Fannon.

We first met John of Bespoke Construction at a neigborhood meeting for the remodel of his house and we knew immedialtely that once we were ready to remodel our home he will be the right person for the job, he has a great demeanor, very patient and calm under pressure and pleasant to work with. Bespoke just finished a total remodel on our home in SF we have nothing but the best to say about John and his team, efficient always on time and nothing is too much for him. Anytime we faced a problem he came up with the best solution. He took the time to do things right and was very good at explaining what he was doing and why. He made the home renovation process as stress-​free and predictable as possible and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The end results are beautiful we love our new house and we get lots of compliments from everyone that walks in the house.
Thank you John.
