About Fahan Construction

A local general contractor and a team that’s worked together for more than a decade.

Pronounced “fawn,” Fahan Construction was named for owner and founder John Shaw’s home town on the north coast of Ireland. A San Francisco Bay Area resident and general contractor now for nearly two decades, John leads a cohesive and professional team of builders and staff. We are committed to providing premium, detail-oriented full home remodels and renovations in San Francisco and Marin.

Because we’re a fully equipped residential construction company, we can tackle your project from demolition to the final details. By limiting the home construction projects taken on at any given time, we are able to focus our energy on providing the highest quality craftsmanship available in San Francisco and Marin County home remodels. From ensuring your new kitchen has the functionality and space to host the next family gathering, to building a bathroom with the elegance and comfort you’ve been dreaming of, Fahan Construction is the general contractor that will make it happen. 

But our focus doesn’t end with full-scale, detail-oriented, premium construction. We also take pride in ensuring a seamless customer experience. Our builders have been renovating homes together in San Francisco and Marin for over a decade. We work together, and with our designers and suppliers harmoniously, on time and within budget. With a responsive, professional staff and realistic costs and timelines for your home remodel, renovation, retrofitting, dry rot repair or custom deck, Fahan Construction offers the Bay Area’s best home construction services available.

“Our house is an old Victorian and they made the molding/trim match perfectly to the existing. Details like the curved ceiling that I still don't know how they did, they mastered it perfectly.”

— Meredith W, San Francisco

“We hired John and his crew to do a complete studs-out kitchen remodel. At our initial meeting John recommended a kitchen designer who turned out to be fantastic as well. Between the two of them they made the entire process very easy and seamless for us.”

— Molly O, San Francisco
