“This is my #1 contractor of choice! LJB renovated my 2 story Victorian building in the San Francisco downtown area. Renovation included street front entrance, stairs, landings, 2 apartments with kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms and a very intricate roof system with skylights. I was kept apprised of every pertinent event and they were right on target with scheduling and budget. The crew was courteous, job site kept clean and safe and noise was kept to a minimum. I would highly recommend anyone seeking a quality contractor to work with Colin Johnston.”

“We have used Liu-Johnston Builders for several projects both large and small and have found Colin to be very responsive and professional. The experience was great and he has saved us both time and money. He is very connected with other suppliers and that too saved time & energy. I appreciated that his word was kept and work continued uninterrupted on our projects. I would not hesitate to use them again or refer them.”

“I am taking this opportunity to commend Liu-Johnston Builders. Colin Johnston was responsible for the restoration of a 1911 classic Edwardian Flat in San Francisco following an electrical fire. This was a complex job which included stripping the front of the flat down to the studs then recreating what had been lost in the fire. This included re-milling the doors, windows and molding to match the original. Even the period cove ceiling was recreated by carefully matching the original. Mr. Johnston also recreated the period mantle piece.
As coordinator of the project Mr. Johnson oversaw many independent contractors, each with their own specialty. I chose to stay in the flat during reconstruction, the back of the flat was largely unaffected by the fire. Because of my proximity to the construction area Mr. Johnson carefully managed the contractors by being on site at the start of each day. Mr. Johnson made sure that I knew who and what to expect day to day and week to week.
Now that the job is complete I am delighted with an Edwardian flat which now functions with gliding pocket-doors, windows that now open effortlessly, and a functioning fireplace. All in all the flat looks and functions better than it has for fifty years. I thank Mr. Johnson and his company for his careful and professional work.”Queue Rolo
“Liu-Johnston Builders renovated my bathroom into a sactuary! It was really plain and cold, but now it’s beautiful. I was amazed how the job site was constantly kept clean and oragnized. Mr. Johnston was very easy to work with, he was flexible and understood my needs. I appreciated that he was available to answer my questions and completed the work on time as promised.”
