Testimonials
“We did quite a bit of work with them and they’ve done a great job. They were very tidy and they tried not to disrupt our daily life. It was really pleasant for a construction project.”
“Their communication style is great, too. We talked every single day. If there were any issues, Derek or Brad would get on the handle and fix it.”
“We were really pleased with the final product.”
Bobby Kiel
Avila Street, San Francisco
“Thompson Suskind was on top of it, every step of the way. They were very good at communicating with us what was going on, and they made sure we made timely decisions so we could keep everything on schedule.”
“Derek and Brad are very much problem-solvers, not naysayers. When we had an issue with our kitchen design, they didn’t say, ‘It’s too late.’ Brad came over on a Saturday and we walked through every conceivable option, and we figured it out.”
“They did a beautiful job and we love how it turned out.”
Andrea Evans
Presidio Avenue, San Francisco
“Thompson Suskind told us what they were going to do, and they did it. They came in on budget, and on time, and the workmanship was top-notch. And when we encountered speed bumps, they handled them perfectly and solved every problem.”
“We sold our condo a month ago and it paid off in spades. I know that when I recommend Thompson Suskind to someone else, they’re going to do a great job.”

“Thompson Suskind did a fabulous job. When we put our house on the market, all the real estate agents and potential buyers – even the contractors and architects who came through our home – were completely impressed with the quality of work.”
“Before we began our project, we heard horrible stories about how contractors are never around, how they build outside of the drawings, etc. But we didn’t have any of that. Everything was better than we had imagined. Derek is such a personable guy, it makes it very easy to work with him. He was always around, and he was always available.”
“I’ve already recommended Thompson Suskind to three or four other parties. We expected it to be more difficult than it was. It wasn’t difficult at all.”
Elizabeth Estes

“Derek was recommended through a friend. We haven’t done construction before, but we had a vision, and he was able to see that vision. Once he got to know us, he understood the style and quality we wanted, and it was carried out between both projects.”
“When there was an issue, it was handled immediately and effectively – we never had to be involved. And their website is really useful, too. We were able to communicate through it and get project updates. It’s just wonderful customer service.”
Quincy Wolfensperger

“Thompson Suskind is great to work with. They’ve done two large projects for us, and the clients are all very happy — not just with the quality of work, but also with how they manage clients. Their level of communication is extremely high and they create a good team climate on the job.”
“Everything is clearly detailed in their bids and their meeting agendas. They believe in running a really tight ship, and they keep everybody actively involved and up to speed on everything. That builds a strong level of trust.”

Principal of Armour+Vokic Architecture
“Often there’s an adversarial relationship between architects and contractors. We didn’t have that with Thompson Suskind. We established trust early on, and everybody had the same goal of doing the best job we could.”
“We worked very closely together on a large house in Pacific Heights. It was a very complicated, involved project. But they have a very positive attitude, and they are always looking for ways to solve problems. It was a really positive experience.”

“Working with Derek and Brad makes our job so much easier. There are no games. It’s about getting the work done and charging a fair price for really good work, and their clients are totally happy with the results.”
“And no other contractor we work with has the web interface Thompson Suskind has –not even the big guys. These days, construction jobs are really about information flow, even when the information is changing. Everything gets posted on their site, and it can even be distributed to the appropriate subcontractors.”
“Their website sets them apart, and it’s another example of the management acumen Derek and Brad bring to contracting. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody.”
