Our Guarantee & Warranty - Bradford Remodeling Co San Francisco

The Bradford Remodeling Co San Francisco Guarantee

We put it in writing before a single tool comes off the truck. Every San Francisco project we take on, from a Marina District kitchen to a full-home remodel in Noe Valley, gets a written price before any work starts, and every completed job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work doesn’t hold for a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no phone tag, no “that’s normal settling.” That’s what backing our work means. We’ve operated this way since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, held to The Garrison Standard on every single job.

What’s Covered

• Workmanship for 365 days. If anything we built or installed fails within one year of completion, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the entire Done Right Promise, and it’s in writing before you sign anything.
• A written price before work begins. The number we agree on is the number you pay. No change orders appear mid-project because we missed something in the walkthrough. We scope it properly the first time.
• Name-brand materials with real documentation. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, James Hardie siding, Therma-Tru doors, and GAF roofing products, among others. Each one carries manufacturer specs and warranties that back our own guarantee, so you’re never guessing what went into your walls.
• A clean site at close. “Squared away” means the job site is swept, debris is hauled, your scope is documented against what was delivered, and the signed written guarantee is in your hand before we leave. Not emailed later. In your hand.
• Background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job. You know exactly who is walking through your door before the crew arrives. Identity and conduct standards are set at the Garrison Partners level, not left to whichever subcontractor shows up that day.
• A live person on the phone, 24/7. If something comes up at 9 p.m. or 6 a.m., you call and a real person answers. No automated system, no callback queue, no “leave a message and we’ll get back to you within one business day.”

Our Satisfaction Promise

Here’s the process if something isn’t right. You call (831) 610-5598, you get a live person, and you tell them what’s wrong. We schedule the return visit. A Bradford technician comes out, looks at the work, and if it falls inside the 365-day window, we fix it at no charge. If the issue is outside the window or outside the original scope, we still show up, we still look, and we give you an honest written price for whatever needs to happen next. Nobody gets talked past, nobody gets told to “just live with it.” The Garrison Code is the framework behind how we run every interaction: the scope is documented, the price is fixed before work starts, and the timeline is respected. It’s not complicated, and we don’t make it complicated. Most of the time a correction is small and we handle it in one visit. The point is you never sit wondering whether someone will call you back. Someone will.

Licensed & Insured Backing

Licensing and insurance are the real guarantee behind the paperwork. A license means the state has verified we know how to do this work to code. Insurance means that if something goes wrong on a San Francisco job site, whether it’s a damaged wall in a Pacific Heights brownstone or an injury on a Bernal Heights staircase, you’re not left holding the bill. We carry both. Every technician who walks onto your property is background-checked and insured through the Garrison Partners family of companies, which has held its locations to The Garrison Standard since 2004. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the structure that protects you when a guarantee gets tested. Anyone can print a promise on a flyer. The license and the insurance policy are what make that promise enforceable.

What the 365-Day Done Right Promise Covers

Let’s be specific, because “guarantee” gets thrown around loosely in this industry. Our Done Right Promise covers the workmanship and the installation. If a cabinet we installed pulls away from the wall, if tile cracks along a seam we set, if a fixture we mounted comes loose, if drywall we patched opens up again, we return and correct it at no charge within 365 days of project completion. The promise is written into every contract and handed to you as a signed document at close. It covers the labor we performed and the way we performed it. Manufacturer warranties on materials are separate and documented: Cambria and Caesarstone carry their own surface warranties, Kohler and Moen stand behind their fixtures, GAF and James Hardie provide written product warranties. We help you register those and we keep the documentation organized so you’re not digging through a drawer two years later. If a product fails under its manufacturer warranty, we’ll help you file the claim and we’ll handle the labor to make it right. That’s the fuller picture: our workmanship guarantee for a year, plus real manufacturer backing on the materials we install.

How “Squared Away” Works at Job Close

We don’t consider a San Francisco remodel finished until three things happen. First, the site is clean. Not “contractor clean,” which usually means a tarp over a pile in the driveway. Clean. Debris hauled, floors swept, surfaces wiped, your home livable the day we leave. Second, the scope is documented. You get a written account of what was done, what was installed, and what materials were used, with brand names and specs. If you want to know what substrate went under your tile or what rough-in was set for your plumbing, it’s on the page, in plain English after the trade term. Third, the signed 365-Day Done Right Promise is in your hand. Not a link to a portal, not a PDF that arrives “sometime next week.” A physical copy, signed, before the crew pulls away. That’s the Bradford close. Curtis Lane has run jobs this way since the beginning, and every technician on a Bradford crew is held to the same standard through The Garrison Code. It’s why we can offer the guarantee we offer without flinching.

What to Do If Something Fails

Call (831) 610-5598. You’ll get a live person, around the clock. Tell them the address, the project, and what’s wrong. We’ll schedule a return visit and a technician will come inspect the work. If it’s inside the 365-day window and it’s a workmanship issue, we schedule the correction at no charge. If it’s outside the window or outside the original scope, we’ll give you a written price for the fix before any work starts, same as always. No pressure, no upsell, no “while we’re here” surprises. You’ll know exactly what it costs and exactly what we’ll do. A guarantee that requires you to fight for it isn’t a guarantee. Ours just requires a phone call.

Why San Francisco Homeowners Get This in Writing

San Francisco is a difficult place to build. Older Victorians in the Mission have framing that predates modern code. Hillside homes in Twin Peaks sit on slopes that shift. Fog and salt air work on exteriors year-round. A remodel here is not the same as a remodel in a flat suburban lot. We know that, and we scope for it. The written price you get before work starts accounts for what’s actually inside your walls, not what a template estimate assumes. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise matters more here because materials and workmanship get tested harder here. Wood moves, stucco cracks, drainage gets stressed. If something we did doesn’t hold through a San Francisco winter and a San Francisco summer, we come back. It’s that simple. Curtis Lane has spent his career working on homes in this city, and the guarantee exists because he knows exactly how much can go wrong between the rough-in and the final walkthrough. It’s not a selling point. It’s the only honest way to run a remodeling company here.

Common Questions About Our Guarantee

Does the written price really not change once work starts?

The written price is the written price. We scope the job thoroughly before we give it to you, which means the number covers what we’re actually going to do. If you change the scope mid-project, that’s a written change order with a new price agreed to before the new work starts. What doesn’t happen is a surprise bill at the end because we “ran into something.” Running into something is our job to anticipate during the walkthrough and the estimate. Call (831) 610-5598 and we’ll walk your project, explain what we see, and put a fixed number in writing.

What if something fails after the 365 days?

Call us anyway. We’ll come look. If it’s a manufacturer defect covered under a product warranty, we’ll help you file the claim and we’ll handle the labor to set it right. If it’s outside any warranty window, we’ll give you an honest written price for the repair. We don’t disappear at day 366. The relationship doesn’t end when the guarantee does.

Does the guarantee cover the materials or just the labor?

Both, through two separate paths. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers our workmanship and installation for a full year. The materials we install, KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Caesarstone, Kohler, Moen, GAF, James Hardie, Therma-Tru, and others, carry their own manufacturer warranties with documented specs and terms. We handle the documentation so you know exactly what’s covered and for how long, and we help with any claim. Call (831) 610-5598 if you want to talk through what materials we recommend for your specific project, and what their warranties cover.
