Testimonials
“Gelling & Judd have the three things I look for in contractors: availability throughout the project, attention to detail and expertise in their field, and a trustworthy and skilled crew who do a great job every time. I have worked with both Shaun and Nick on several large and small residential projects and their work is impeccable, their attitudes are easy, and I wouldn’t hesitate in the least to work with them again.”
-Sara Michaelian, NOPA, San Francisco, CA
“I had a terrific experience using Gelling & Judd for a major renovation of my Presidio Heights home. The workmanship was fantastic, from the structural construction work down to the finishes, which included substantial custom cabinetry and a formal wood-paneled library. The team was great to work with, very professional, responsive and personable, and they collaborated extremely well with my architect and interior designer. They were conscious of staying on time and budget, and provided overall an exceptional value for the investment. Best of all, they made the two-year project an easy and fun experience for me. I give them my highest recommendation!”
-Lori Schryer, Presidio Heights, San Francisco, CA
“As a realtor with over 40 years experience, and many remodeling projects, I have extensive knowledge of contractors and what to expect. Gelling & Judd are the only contractors in the city I would use, and they remodeled an office space, five apartments and a garage expansion for me. The projects finished on time and within budget and exceeded my expectations. I would gladly speak to anyone thinking of hiring Nick and Shaun and would proudly show their work. “
-BJ Droubi, Noe Valley, San Francisco, CA
“Gelling & Judd built our dream home in San Francisco and we have been singing their praises ever since. They went the extra mile in every way: they were thorough, thoughtful and extremely committed to our build. Nick Judd was our lead General Contractor and worked seamlessly with us, our architect, as well as all of his subcontractors. We knew that building a house in San Francisco could be a grueling process, however Gelling & Judd delivered on time and on budget! If we were to ever build another home again, Gelling & Judd would be our contractor, without question.”
-John and Kate Keough, Noe Valley, San Francisco, CA
“Gelling & Judd came so highly recommended that I never sought out other bids on a home that I purchased. The whole house was gutted and remodeled with experts. They are gentlemen who see the project through the very end and then some. I wouldn’t use anyone else.”
-Ellen Soulis, Dolores Heights, San Francisco, CA
“It is not easy to find a contractor that has experience, trust, honesty, integrity, and brings a full commitment to a project. Gelling & Judd’s entire staff and subcontractors have done all of the above, and have far exceeded my expectations on the complete renovation of my home. I have recommended them to many friends and clients and have only heard positive feedback. Now that I have worked directly with Gelling & Judd I know why. They will continue to be my number one contractor recommendation in San Francisco.”
-Lamisse Droubi, Noe Valley, San Francisco, CA
“Without hesitation, I would use Gelling & Judd again for any of our projects. They are thoughtful, considerate contractors, great with clients, and are good troubleshooters, working as a team to solve, not create problems. All of my clients who have used them are happy with the high quality of the work and their work ethic. I know that they will take care of me when it comes to issues that arise in the field, and have a great eye for detail, while having extremely fair pricing.”

“As an Architect, one of the best compliments you can give a General Contractor after completion of one of your projects is a new project. Since our first completed project together in 2007, I have offered Gelling & Judd’s services to a number of my clients. I worked very closely with Nick Judd and Shaun Gelling on a one million dollar plus home remodel / addition in San Francisco and it was one of my most successful projects to date. I am happy to refer them to any prospective client and look forward to working with them at every chance I get. Our projects together have come in on time and on budget. They do their homework ahead of time and run their projects professionally. They make the construction process run smoothly. For an Architect, this is critical to assure our designs are constructed to their fullest extent.”
-Vince Ammirato of Ammirato Architecture, San Francisco, CA
“Since the first job that they built for our clients, Gelling & Judd has been at the top of our contractor list. As an Architect, it is very important that the contractor understands the intent of the design and has a respect for the many decisions that have gone into it. Shaun and Nick both have an aesthetic sensibility that allows me to spend more time with my clients, and less time answering contractor questions. They just get it. The quality of the work for the price is outstanding. I have had them work on my own house; that is the level of trust I have with them.”
