Testimonials

What some recent clients say about their experience with MAKISON INC.

We started working with Steve and his crew on Seismic retrofits for our buildings as required by the city of SF. From that positive experience, we went onto building ADUs which is not an easy task due to the many factors involving city permits and inspections as this was a new area that the city just approved. After that was done, we gave our rental remodeling projects to them. From the beginning of the project, they come in using their 3D scanning services to get all the measurements from day 1 which makes it easier to get the plans we wanted and reduces cost. Steve comes from the mindset of operating efficiently and minimizing cost which is huge for property owners as everyone is looking to not spend what is not needed. He is our go to guy as he has always found ways to get the job done. Once we give him the job, we don't have to follow up as he is on top of everything, from schematics plans to getting permits and inspections to sign off. He is easy to talk to and understands the business well. Highly recommended!

Rental property owner

Makison Inc did a great job in completely measuring my property with speed, efficiency and accuracy for our soft story project. They delivered on the contract and I am very happy that I worked with them.

Michael M.

I've worked with Makison on numerous projects - large and small, over the last 7 years. I must say that I'm always pleasantly surprised with the transparency, integrity, quality and earnestness of the Makison team. They have the experience and expertise to get the job done - on-time and on-budget without the unscrupulous aspects that sometimes cripple construction project relations, including unjustified change orders and unwillingness to take responsibility for success at the project site. I wholeheartedly recommend Makison!

Jason M.

Dear Makison team, Thank you for all your efforts in our property remodel of one of the apartment units at our Oak Street property in San Francisco. All the steps from initial review, 3D scanning of each room, virtual image rendering, project updates, as well as total satisfaction of the finished remodel unit! The entire process went flawlessly and cannot express how satisfied we were! Once the remodel unit was listed to rent, we had signed lease agreement within days of listing. This result was in large part the collective efforts of your team in our unit and property!
