We are a team of skilled carpenters and remodelers, exceptional exterior and interior painters, and San Francisco’s leading experts in leak detection, prevention, and waterproofing. We are wizards of building science and your partner in the restoration and preservation of your home and property.
The truth is, repair, restoration, and remodeling are not exact sciences; rarely is there one “correct” answer to what a building needs.
Finding and executing effective solutions requires far more than choosing from among a closed set of pre-determined answers. It requires craftspeople who can exercise critical thinking and creative innovation at every turn.
At Teevan, we apply this level of experienced, reasoned judgment and innovation – the art of building science – to everything we do.
Our production team consists of some the city’s finest carpenters, remodelers, and painters, but we also have people whose sole job it is to make sure that, while our builders build, our clients remain informed, comfortable, and hassle-free.
Client satisfaction is not enough for us. Our goal is raving fans; anything less means we have not successfully delivered the product and experience you deserve.
Teevan’s success is built on our unique range of skills and long-lasting relationships with our clients. Trust is the foundation of those relationships and of our company.
The majority of our projects are with past clients. New clients find us through referrals or in their searches for specialty services like water mitigation and architectural restoration.
San Francisco, with our weather, geography, building codes, costs of living, and architectural styles, presents a particularly complex set of challenges that directly affect repair and maintenance strategies. But for every one of those problems there is a solution.
Whether moving along simple paths or zigzagging through hidden mazes, water is opportunistic and finds a way. Teevan is San Francisco’s unsurpassed expert in water infiltration. Read More >
We go beneath the surface and improve the structural fitness of our clients’ properties. Over the past 40 years, Teevan has become synonymous with Great Paint Jobs in San Francisco, perfecting the art of interior and exterior painting and restoration. Read More >
Teevan follows the logic of building science. From inside to out and roof to foundation, we maintain and repair our clients’ properties via structural care and service focused on long-term durability. Read More >
We create fully realized, successful projects based on our clients’ goals, budget, schedule and needs. Critical thinking, highly skilled craftspeople, and knowledge of building science help us achieve that. Read More >
Every Teevan job is a custom job, because we tailor each project to the needs of our clients, to the condition of their homes, and to the circumstances of the present. Read More >
Teevan worked closely with San Francisco Heritage to restore this Victorian landmark (and San Francisco’s only National Treasure) to its full glory. An expert historical paint color study determined the original colors, patterns and sheens so that the finished home coloring was as authentic as possible. We then carefully removed twenty layers of paint and primer and conducted extensive damage repairs. Finally, we painted the house in a muted Dunn-Edwards semi-gloss palette to match the original 1886 paint colors.
Our company was awarded numerous regional and national awards for this project, including National Contractor of the Year (CotY) by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). Read more >
Teevan is proud to join the San Francisco Legacy Business Registry, an organization established by the City of San Francisco to highlight and support trusted small businesses in the SF Bay Area. Small business preservation efforts such as this help to stabilize the city’s vital services and resources, and we are proud to be recognized as a long-standing pillar within the community. We were selected due to our “dedication to maintaining and preserving San Francisco’s built environment” and founder Jim Teevan’s pioneering company principles.
