David Ramirez began his career in construction in 1996 as an "in house" contractor for the New York landscape design firm, Edwina von Gal and Company. 

 

For two years David worked for EVG & Co. during which time he was exposed to some of the best landscape and architectural design in upstate New York and The Hamptons. Beginning with remodeling the Long Island City offices of EVG, he later began working for the firm constructing garden structures; pergolas, decking, garden sheds, fences and gates. During this time he became familiar with some of the decorators at these "job sites" and quickly moved towards expanding his interests and skills working within the homes themselves. His passion became forever ignited. 

Returning to San Francisco in 1998, David embarked on a solo career during the first wave of the real estate explosion in the Bay Area, beginning with client work and later purchasing his own properties. Over the past 18 years he completed projects of all shapes and sizes, from simple single bathroom remodels to brand new construction of a 3 story home. Within all these various projects he was completely involved in every aspect from design, procuring permits to hands on work of all the necessary trades involved to complete the jobs. 

David believes that one of the most important lessons learned from all this experience and interaction with his clients is the gift of giving them what they want, what they envision, more than just trying to impose his own ideas upon them. He wants to help you acheive a home that you have been imagining, through a collaborative effort, together.

 

 

We've had David Ramirez carry out four projects of significant size, the largest being a total rebuild of our vacation home on the Sacramento River. I've never seen anyone design the use of space as well as David. His execution of every phase of the building is at the level of an artisan cabinetmaker.  Every aspect of what he plans and builds is both functional and beautiful in the extreme. 

He is also a very good communicator.  There will be no surprises at the end of the project.

I have admired David's work on multiple projects over the last 15 years.  He built a beautiful set of bookshelves for me based on a classic 1950's design.  I hope to use him on a larger project soon.  As an architect I appreciate his thoughtful approach to design.  His fine arts background lends his work a sense of craft and meticulous execution.  He is a pleasure to collaborate with and his craftsmanship is impeccable.  I would highly recommend him.

"David’s incredible vision combined with his attention to detail brought new life to my 100+ year-old Edwardian flat. I can’t recommend him highly enough."

David completed a renovation on our home in 2013 by opening up our kitchen and den. Never before have I seen anyone as dedicated to ensuring their client's satisfaction. His knowledge, experience and attention to detail was phenomenal. He tore out our entire kitchen wall, literally, without making a mess. He is clean, conscientious, and just a pleasure to be around. 

David also built a custom island for our kitchen.  He payed close attention to our needs and requests and designed and built a fabulous piece.

Back in 2004 I was in the market to purchase a condo. Over a period of 15 years I had renovated 3 homes. To say I had renovation burnout is putting it mildly. That, plus I was in the middle of a lifestyle adjustment, I wanted to purchase something I could move into without making modifications.  Because I’m an interior architect by trade I had very high standards. I must have looked at 75 condos before coming across the one David had renovated. It was obvious he had excellent taste and design sense. I was familiar with many of the fixtures he used so I knew he used quality products. I still live in David’s beautifully renovated condo. The only modifications I’ve made are the furnishings, the fun stuff!!  Because of David’s timeless design ability I don’t feel the need to move walls, change finishes, modify the bathroom or kitchen.

DAVID DID A TOTAL RENOVATION OF OUR MASTER BATHROOM IN 2012. WE LIVED IN THE HOUSE WHILE HE WAS WORKING, AND THE JOBSITE WAS IMMACULATE DURING THE ENTIRE PROCESS. HE BLOCKED OFF THE BATHROOM SO THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SLEEP IN THE BEDROOM AT NIGHT WITH LITTLE DISRUPTION TO OUR LIVES. HE IS METICULOUS WITH HIS WORK AND DID A WONDERFUL JOB. WE HE FINISHED WE NOT ONLY GAINED A BEAUTIFUL BATHROOM, BUT ALSO A DEAR FRIEND. I WOULD USE DAVID FOR ALL OF MY WORK IN THE FUTURE.
