Ghilotti Bros.,Inc. Reviews

Terrible experience. Very unprofessional. Will not hire again!

Ghilotti Brothers recently completed a paving project on my street. During the process, Ghilotti Brother's crews were courteous and thoughtful of the needs of the residents. The completed work is of exceptional quality. Furthermore, Ghilotti Brothers took the extra effort to precisely grade-in driveways and frontage areas.

Driver of a red f-150 with plate 23456Z1 decided that he didn't need to wait in line for the left turn like everyone else and instead just cut in near the front. What is generally 3 light cycles for anyone at this offramp, he cuts into the front. Easily cut in line in front of at least 20 other cars.

If you are going to put your name on a vehicle, you should make sure you aren't a bad driver.

Because i work for them and they've been in business over 100 years you have to know what you're doing to make it in this kind of business not for dogs this work is for Cats.

Driver of your truck #FAR3601 license #01317F1 cut into traffic today on 37 WB and almost hit our truck. Not cool!

I worked there many years ago. Outstanding company who respected there workers. Dino and Mario were very generous to me.

Ive only made deliveries to the yard and job sites....
Great construction company

I'm not normally one to leave reviews, but my experience with Gilhotti Bros merits an exception. We hired them with the understanding they would begin work in 2 months. Four months later they gave me three days notice they would be starting. First sign of trouble was the team on-site damaged my garage door frame during demo. They were kind enough to instruct me as to how I could repair it. Then came the issue of the framing of the new driveway - it was a foot narrower than spec. Foreman says to contact the project manager, and the project manager says talk to the foreman - 1 day to concrete, and they refuse to correct to spec. Then comes concrete day - we had planned to specify the finish and color, but were not asked - I tried to raise the issue while we still had time - I contact the project manager who says the foreman will do it. I talk to the foreman who says talk to the project manager. I tell him we already did that and he said to tell him what was needed. I did. He refused. Once the pour was done, I noticed they poured concrete up on to the trunk of the oak tree that broke up the driveway in the first place - not requested or spec'd, and more Jed Klampett than MCM. The remedies offered were successively more ridiculous until it was clear they had no intention of actually doing anything to correct it. I gave up. Bill arrives, I pay it knowing we would not be working with them on the remaining projects we had coming up. Literally that same week I realize the walkway had already developed a diagonal crack that water was draining into. I contact them - first guy out calls it a stress crack. Second guy out calls it shrinkage. Both vigorously agree that the contract allows their work to fail in this way without any obligation on their part. Nearly a dozen calls trying to reach the man whose name is on the trucks, and I was finally able to confirm he's not really looking after the business or its rep, and given the lack of response I've received from him, it's clear beating unhappy customers on petty technicalities matters more than producing a concrete job we could all be proud of - Including refusing to be paid to correct the defect. As it was explained to me by 'shrinkage' guy - they don't want to try to fix it since they don't think I would be happy with it.

Try hiring kind and courteous people, not all the wife beating jerks that drive like crap and run stop signs all over SF almost killing pedestrians on the daily.
