Clients' Recommendation Letters

Here are just a few of the wonderful letters of recommendation that my clients have given me over the more than twenty-five years of doing remodeling work for them. Most of my clients are repeat customers that I have worked with to complete several remodeling projects to their homes. These satisfied clients have become long-time friends that I keep in contact with - some for over twenty years now. Some I have even helped more than one generation of their families to complete remodels and repairs. This is important to me as I also want to extend the influence of my own family into the community to help others with their needs, and dreams. Some of my children have worked with me for quite some time now. And, they have grown up in homes that we have been remodeling (as I did myself), so they have started at very young ages. Some of their first gifts over the years were tools.

As a general building contractor I have assisted clients primarily in the Santa Rosa, CA area, although I have also completed many projects in the neighboring Sonoma County communities of Oakmont, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Larkfield, Wikiup, Kenwood, Healdsburg, Cloverdale, Windsor, Sebastopol, Occidental, Forestville, Guerneville.

I hope that we can be as helpful to you with any remodel project, new construction, or repairs, that you have in mind.

We do all phases of work (as you'll see from this sampling of letters) - interiors and exteriors; additions and remodels (whole-house and partial); kitchens; bathrooms; freshening-up and face-lifts to rooms; new entries; siding and trim; doors and windows; entertainment rooms; water intrusion issues; structural work (repairs and modifications); lots of home improvements and repairs - to name a few.

To somewhat protect the privacy of my clients, I have left names off of their letters. If you wish to see the actual letter, please let me know and I will be glad to forward an electronic copy to you. Most of these people are available to contact - I have their phone numbers in the "For My Clients" page, under password protection. Contact me for access.

All letters are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. You will need Adobe Reader to to view them. It can be downloaded without cost via this link.


Here We Go . . .

Bathroom Remodel - Santa Rosa, CA
Project: Master bathroom remodel, starting with solving some design considerations. The owners wanted more space and a double vanity in the mid-1980's bathroom, plus wanted to update it to match what they've done in the rest of the home. The room was extended a couple of feet into the over-sized adjacent bedroom and the footprint was re-configured a bit by moving things around. Then, a new vanity and cabinets were installed, along with a new tile shower and floor system, a pocket door, some decorative niches, new lighting and ventilator, new frameless heavy-glass shower door set, and new plumbing fixtures.

Manufactured Home Remodel - Santa Rosa, CA
Project: Whole-house remodel to a manufactured home. Drywall was added to this double-plus wide home as well as re-doing the electrical, gas and plumbing. All doors and hardware were changed for new. Both bathrooms and the kitchen were fully remodeled, as well as the addition of a new gas-fired "fireplace" in the living room. The home needed additional perimeter blocking installed to help support the added weight of the drywall. The garage was also re-vamped to create better, and more, storage. All of the flooring was replaced. Lighting was changed and new ceiling fans were added. The home hardly looks like a manufactured home now!
