Accolades

“ I highly recommend Shanta. They are friendly, efficient, have great customer service and were very prompt. They did a room addition for us and we were extremely happy with the way everything turned out!” Jean Marie and Will Weinstein, Russian Hill

“ Our home is an 1896 Victorian and is an ongoing project. We first used Shanta after the ‘89 quake to replace the four story brick tower that extends from our basement through the roof. He then restored our complicated front façade including new marble stairs where there had previously been brick, and redid our back yard and bathrooms. I have used Shanta many times over the last several years. He is always very thorough and his workmanship is excellent. We plan to keep on using him.” David and Virginia Keller, Upper Haight

“ Shanta’s company performed their work exceptionally well for my clients on a couple of projects. I am looking forward to working with them in the future.” William Scott Ellsworth, Architect

“ I really enjoy working with Shanta and his team…they are good communicators, detail-oriented and always have the Client’s interests in mind. Residential work in San Francisco is a niche in itself. Wending one’s way through the maze of Building Department inspections, coordination of sub-contractors, tight site conditions and neighbor’s concerns, dealing effectively with unforeseen building conditions, all while keeping the job on track and minimizing the inconvenience to Owners – it all takes special skills. Shanta has them.” Toby Morris, Kerman/Morris Architects

“Acme Roofing Company chooses to work with very few general contractors. Shanta Design|Build is the exception. Their attention to detail and management of a project is outstanding. Shanta Design/Build is one of the very few in the industry that understands and delivers the expertise needed to eliminate water damage to the exterior of a building from the framing out.” David Dismeyer, VP, Acme Roofing Company

“ We would definitely use Shanta again, and we have referred him to many of our neighbors. He remodeled three bathrooms and leak-proofed all of our windows. Shanta was excellent!” Jane and Rod Forbes, Forest Hill

“ As an interior designer for more than 15 years, I have worked with many contractors.
Without a doubt, working in partnership with the Shanta Design|Build team is always a joy. Their commitment to excellence, including communication, dedication to client welfare and superb workmanship, is refreshing, as well as making my job easier! I recommend them highly and look forward to working with them in the future.” Paula McChesney, ASID, CID, Founder, “Passion by Design”

“ Super job by a super team.” Eliane Lust, Russian Hill

“ Mr. Shanta Bulkin and his company were exceedingly professional and reliable with the construction project they undertook at our house.

“ We were very happy with Shanta’s work on our home remodel. The foreman and crew were very professional, dependable and friendly. They felt like part of the family! Their work was very good – a quality execution of our design.” Homeowners, Sherwood Forest

“We have used Shanta to do more than 100k of work remodeling two of our homes. In our new home, he replaced a large bay window, resealed all of the windows, and also painted inside and out. …In the case of our old home, (his work), drastically improved the sales price, so it was an excellent investment.” Clair & Ron Miller, Forest Hill
