Konstruktioner af småhuse i Paradise Park, CA.

“During the 13 month construction our neighbors would comment, "Your contractors are doing a good job on your house and we're impressed that they are respectful of the neighbors. I like it that they don't play loud music and clean up every day." We were happy to hear that. We are even happier with the results. As the first house in Santa Cruz County to be built (technically remodeled) to the Passive House standards, we enjoy a very comfortable temperature throughout the house AND use much less energy than similar houses in the neighborhood. The biggest challenge was the air tightness requirement for Passive House certification. This was tested with a blower door to verify that the house achieve 0.6ACH50 (131 CFM in our case) which is VERY tight. Achieving this level of airtightness in the house that was originally built in 1922, where we kept the original foundation and framing, has not been done before. Santa Cruz Green Builders also installed the first Heat Recovery Ventilator in this area. The professional who came to commission the HRV commented that our installation was one of the better ones he's observed. So, the point of this paragraph is Santa Cruz Green Builders is not afraid to take on new challenges and achieve amazing results. When you hear the words "green building" it may bring the image of a certain contemporary aesthetic to mind. But our house has the curve appeal of a nice old house -- a 1922 bungalow that has the arts and crafts styling with details in the window trims and flared skirt look on the siding. On the interior we are very happy that Santa Cruz Green Builders talked us into keeping the original floors and refinishing them. The tight grains of old fir is appealing and the polished distressed wood brings out the period style. They carefully deconstructed the house so that original base boards, doors, etc. were re-used. We also selected finishes that reflects the old arts and crafts style. When people come to our house they can't tell what's original and what's new. We like that. True to their name, Santa Cruz Green Builders walk their talk. I can continue with other elements like structured plumbing, gray water, insulation, recycling, etc. If you're curious about that please visit my blog http://http://midorihaus.blogspot.com/”

“Lavan Construction has helped me with three projects over the last few years in some High end homes in Hillsborough California. They've been great with my budget and timeline. I would highly recommend Fahid and Moein and will reach out to them for my next project.”

“RMG Designs architected our house addition in San Jose. We found Richa from RMG Designs to be very professional and responsive. She accommodated our suggestion in the drawings.”

“I had a fantastic experience with Valley Home Builders. I used VHB to do an addition of a bedroom and a bathroom. In the bidding process they were definitely the most professional, and ended up middle of the pack in quote pricing. The remodel was well communicated and they provided a detailed schedule. Work was predictable: everyone came in on time and there was someone doing work every day. They were on time, honest, and did quality work, and we're really happy with the end result. We had other contractors in the past but this one we will be recommending to friends!”

“If I could give Open Remodel 10 stars I would. I had the pleasure of working with Shweta on one of my projects which should have been quite simple but became a bit too complicated due to another structural company we are working with. Shweta helped navigate thru' the complexity and co-ordination with the City and the Structural Engineering company. She is fast, responsive, an amazing problem solver and always willing to help. In hindsight I would have hired Open Remodel for the entire project. I am going to do another small addition and will definitely be using their services again.”

“I had originally hired another architecture firm that claimed they could get my project completed in a timely manner and efficiently. That was not the case. My good friend who is very successful developer in the LA area, referred me to Urbatect Development as Urbatect had helped him develop his apartment complex. I have nothing but great things to say. From the minute I walked into their office, until the completion of construction, they did an AMAZING job keeping me updated and handling all the issues that came our way. Special shoutout to Jay, Sr. Engineer, who made my life much easier. If I could give them ten stars, I would. Thank you for the excellent job! Will be referring Urbatect and using them again in the future for all my design and construction projects.”

“Jonathon, who is LEED-Homes accredited, designed many site elements for my home. I now celebrate under the dappled shade of a beautiful pergola/trellis which bridges my Santa Clara yard. His work for me began when I sought a talented designer in order to effect needed privacy in my yard for which he designed sustainably-harvested wood gates. I am looking forward to Jonathon working on my Tahoe residence!”

“Rise Builders are consummate professionals, delivering high quality work in tightly scheduled, choreographed time frames. Zack Fry is most thoughtful about design and materials and goes the extra mile to ensure successful outcomes. He provides solutions and costs keeping budget concerns in the foreground. Rise Builders excels in both new and remodeling construction. They should be of particular interest to those who live in aging homes needing repair and updating. My home appraisal increased by over $400,000 thanks to refurbishing work by Rise Builders.”

“Fernandez Designs remodeled our master bathroom creating a beautiful serene area surrounded in fine finishes of marble and granites. We marveled at the ingenuity of their designs and cool features. We were completely elated by the high tech jacuzzi tub. Fernandez designs is a pleasure to have in your house, they are trustworthy, honest and stand for family values and morals. We highly recommend this firm for your next project. We truly feel there isn't anything they either haven't tackled or couldn't. Doug Fernandez is a friendly, warmhearted, kind person who will truly gets excited about your project, you will be amazed at the results.”

“Jeff figured out why our bathroom floor was rotted. We had a slow leak from a poor plumbing job which was done without the oversite of a general contractor. He helped us get a beautiful and well constructed bathroom. His suggestions, careful oversite and mindfullness of our budget made the project go smoothly. I now know why a good general contractor is so valuable.”
