This is the second time we've worked with Elite Construction, and once again, they exceeded all…read moreexpectations. We hired them to redesign and replace our crumbling back porch, and the results are wonderful--a graceful, functional, usable space, with craftsmanship and attention to detail second to none. Project Manager Dave Allami was a standout--his suggestions were thoughtful, his work meticulous, and he was incredibly accommodating throughout the process. When they removed the old porch, they uncovered serious structural issues with our home's foundation and support beams. Dave and the team didn't flinch. They pulled out all the stops to address the problems quickly and thoroughly. That part of our house is now the safest and most solid--it's truly impressive how seriously they took the issue and how fast they acted. What really touched us was how they treated our little 800-square-foot home like it was their own. It's just four little walls that hold our life, and they respected it like it was a mansion on a hill. That kind of care is rare. Highly, highly recommended.

This is a very long overdue review of Michelle's wonderful services. I started working with…read moreMichelle over a year ago. If I weren't a social worker, I'd really enjoy a career as a professional organizer! It truly brings me joy and satisfaction. So meeting Michelle brought a nice bond between us :) I own several properties and operate a very busy and stressful business. As much as I love to clean and organize, I just can't seem to find the time to do it on my own. There just aren't enough hours in the day! Michelle made the process very smooth, efficient, and stress-free. She's never made me feel judged with all the chaos and mess (yes, even rodent droppings!), and she kept our work very professional. Ultimately each job was wrapped up exactly how I envisioned, even exceeded my expectations. I am an advocate for everyone to hire an organizer in their life. I can't emphasize enough how much it makes my mental health so right! Once you do, life can be much more at ease and peaceful.

We are beyond satisfied with the experience we've had with AD Construction. Shannon and Tony are a…read moredream to work with, and by far the best design and contracting team we've hired in Santa Cruz. Shannon helped us create an amazing design for our master bathroom remodel and deck construction, and we're completely thrilled with the layout and execution. We were consistently kept in the loop on all important decisions, and felt like our choices were all respected and honored. They are also genuinely kind and fun people to spend time with, and felt like part of the family throughout the course of the project. It's a privilege to work with such a top caliber team, and we'd highly recommend them for any work you have in mind.
