I have nothing but the highest regards to Hugo and his team. They're nice individuals with great attention to detail and high work ethics. They have steep knowledge in materials and installation. I would highly recommend HL81 and will be my go-to for future projects.

I could write an essay on how great Hugo and the team are. Punctual, forward thinking, collaborative, amazing quality, and understanding. They always kept the ball rolling even when we wanted to make changes. Inspections planned in advance, so no downtime waiting. They made sure that each of our changes were accommodated. The quality is fantastic as well. Regular check ins, asking questions, clear answers. Will definitely hire HL81 again for any other projects. I had called references beforehand and the references said the same thing. They are the real deal.

We hired Hugo and HL81 Construction for two major projects at my father’s home in San Francisco—a seismic retrofit and a full bathroom remodel—and we’re extremely happy with the results.From the start, Hugo was easy to work with and very straightforward. He explained everything clearly, gave honest recommendations, and helped us understand the best options for both projects. It was obvious he really knows his trade and cares about doing things the right way.The seismic retrofit was handled professionally and efficiently. His team stayed on schedule, kept the work area clean, and made the whole process stress-free. Most importantly, we now feel much better knowing the house is properly reinforced and safer in case of an earthquake.After that great experience, we also had HL81 remodel one of the bathrooms, and it turned out beautifully. The quality of workmanship was excellent, and Hugo paid close attention to all the details we wanted. Communication was always clear, and any small adjustments we requested were handled without any issues.Overall, Hugo and his crew were reliable, respectful, and very professional from beginning to end. I would absolutely recommend HL81 Construction to anyone in San Francisco looking for seismic retrofit work, bathroom remodeling, or general home improvements.

Hugo and his highly skilled workers did an amazing job for us. I had them completely renovate a large bathroom in our home down to the studs - all new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc...Everything was done with such care and expertise. Hugo was very communicative and easy to work with. They also completely renovated my mother's second floor of her home - master bedroom and bath, additional hall bath and two bedrooms, new crown moulding and baseboards, doors, etc...all done with same level of care and expertise. I highly recommend Hugo Leveia and his team for any construction/renovation needs.

I’ve known and worked with Hugo for over 10 years, and he continues to be my first call for any project - big or small. He is professional, incredibly responsive, and truly skilled at tackling any job you throw his way. His pricing is fair, his follow-up is excellent, and he knows how to coordinate seamlessly with other vendors and trades to get the job done right.What truly sets Hugo apart is his character - he is honest, reliable, and genuinely friendly, the kind of person who is a pleasure to do business with. In a world where great contractors are hard to find, he stands out.Most recently, Hugo and his team worked on our new retail location on Chestnut Street, and the results were nothing short of extraordinary. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and dedication to quality exceeded our expectations.If you’re considering your next project, I highly recommend contacting Hugo for a walkthrough and quote. You won’t just be satisfied - you’ll be absolutely thrilled with the results. Five stars all the way!

We used HL81 for a complete gut kitchen and dining room remodel in Lafayette. They completed the work sooner than originally estimated because they understood our urgent need for it. The crew showed up every day on time and worked hard. We have worked with many contractors over the years, and this was one of our best experiences. We love our new kitchen and dining room.

Hugo is great to work with and has a crew of highly skilled workers. His quality and timeliness is outstanding. Our bakery contracted with Hugo to do a renovation after a small fire and he got us back on time and within budget. His knowledge of SF's inspection process is incredible. The work was inspected at every step at a timely manner and with little idle time. I will not hesitate to work with Hugo in the future.
