Edward Gama remodeled our modern home in the Mission-Dolores neighborhood of San Francisco. We purchased a live-work, 4-bedroom house right after the pandemic, drawn to its unique architectural features — the original build-out had even been featured in Dwell magazine. Our goal was to transform it into a home that was modern yet warm, and practical for family life. We chose Eddie because he immediately understood our vision and shared our aesthetic sensibility, bringing strong, well-considered ideas for how to successfully convert the space into a family home. He delivered on every front: our vision, our style, and a beautiful, modern, yet highly livable home. Eddie spent significant time onsite, consistently monitoring quality and solving problems as they arose. His recommendations for finishes and materials struck an excellent balance between style, practicality, and budget. The result is truly our dream home.

I was extremely impressed with the construction quality and attention to detail that Gama Construction put towards our home. From the choice of materials, artful landscaping, and thoughtful integration with the outside environment, no detail was seemingly left unattended to. Edward Gama also personally guarantees his work with prompt follow-up fixes, adjustments, whatever is needed. I can't recommend Gama Construction highly enough, and would seek no other option if designing a new home in the future.

Eddie is a pro-active contractor and solved problems before they became problems. He is also fun to work with and has a fantastic design sensibility. Before the project started, he found required corrections in the plans. I was not expecting that when I hired him, and I believe it had a profound effect on how the project unfolded during construction — I had never experienced that from a contractor before. I knew his finish work was good, which is why I hired him, but as people visit my house, almost all of them comment on how perfect and beautiful it is. I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Eddie to anyone, particularly friends who want an extremely well-built home that reeks of quality. He is a true custom home builder!

We were referred to Eddie by a trusted friend who vouched for both the quality of his work and the finished product. Eddie is incredibly attentive to detail and has a fantastic design sensibility. This was a post-Covid project, with supply-chain issues still creating challenges, and Eddie was excellent at finding thoughtful alternatives when materials weren't available. The finished home feels comfortable and looks beautiful. Guests consistently comment on how well everything came together. I would recommend Eddie to anyone looking for an extremely well-built home with beautiful, high-end finishes.

We hired Eddie to repair a major leak caused by poor construction from a previous contractor. It was a complicated project that required him to work closely with our architect and waterproofing contractor, and Eddie was able to pull everything together while staying calm and focused throughout. Unlike other contractors we've worked with, Eddie showed up every day, thought through the details meticulously, planned ahead, and communicated clearly. He was transparent about billing, and the craftsmen working with him were excellent, clean, and thoughtful. We honestly don't think we would have survived the project without him. I also greatly appreciated Eddie's aesthetic insight — the house is now waterproof and actually looks better than it did before because of his recommendations. He is a rare gem in the world of general contractors, and we highly recommend him.

We love our house in San Francisco that Eddie designed and built. Eddie's attention to detail is exceptional and we found ourselves noticing and appreciating little touches months after we moved in. We still appreciate the quality and detail of the build every day which is a continual source of pleasure living in our dream house. Eddie was very straightforward and open to deal with. We never ran into any major problems and he was very responsive to the few small snags we encountered which are inevitable with any new build. I have no hesitation in recommending Eddie to anyone looking for a design-forward build, who appreciates a high level of fit and finish and obsessive attention to detail.
