Over the ensuing years, a number of "people in the know" have commented about how well-built our home is--and we agree wholeheartedly. Jim built three others homes on our street for a local developer; we witnessed, first-hand, the meticulous, reliable and careful work of his crews during this process. We had braced ourselves when the foundation for a two-story home across from ours was laid, anticipating interminable disruption, delays and an unsightly construction site--but Jim and his crews were efficient, timely, neat, communicative and responsive. We saw Jim nearly every day, finding him to be approachable, highly likable, candid, knowledgable and helpful. Fast forward ten years to 2023, when our home suffered water damage arising from an unforeseen manufacturing defect in materials widely used at the time of installation. Submitting and managing our claim through the manufacturer was an arduous and lengthy process--requiring highly technical documentation--beyond that which most homeowners would be able to accomplish on their own. Jim responded to our call for help immediately and with genuine concern. He examined the damage, conferred about approaches to repair, assisted in gathering the essential technical information, and--significantly--proactively reached out to us along the way. His valuable assistance so many years later confirmed what we already knew about Jim and Diego Bros.Construction: They take pride in their work, value community relationships, and work hard to uphold a long-standing reputation of excellence in Marin County.

My wife and I needed to remodel our Napa home, where I had grown up. Originally built in 1959, it…read morewas a wonderful example of mid-century modern architecture but needed serious updating and a different layout to meet our needs. Our architect recommended Hanes Construction--a recommendation that turned out to be the best thing she did for us. We've now been back in our home for three months, long enough to fully appreciate the quality of finishes and attention to detail that Dave and his crew brought to our project. We've had time to figure out our new systems and appliances, sometimes with Dave's crew's help. After nearly two years of working with Dave, we can't say enough about how responsive he and his team have been to our questions and requests--even months after finishing the project. Not everyone ends a construction project as pleased as we are. The project was difficult and extensive. As Dave pointed out, it's much harder to build a house within a house than to build one from scratch. There wasn't a room that wasn't touched. The living room became the primary bathroom. What had once been a deck converted to a family room was enlarged to become a great room/kitchen with a 14-foot ceiling. The entire project was expected to take 12 months but, with over 70 change orders--some Dave recommended for practical reasons, others we requested--ended up taking 18 months. Given the scope of work, this wasn't an unreasonable timeline. Dave and his team did a flawless job working with us to create the home we wanted and made seamless adjustments as needs arose. The first major change came when we discovered that the great room would be built on the former family room, which had been converted from a deck in 1966. The deck had been built with about 1" of slope over 20 feet to shed rainwater. Dave pointed this out, showed us that the flooring really needed to be replaced, and explained how he could make it perfect. We accepted the change order. Six months later, he helped us determine the correct size for the new deck and showed us how to make it both beautiful and fire-resistant. Hanes Construction was incredibly easy to work with--friendly and helpful throughout the entire project. I always looked forward to meeting them on site. Communication was excellent whether by email, text, phone, or in person. I can't count the number of times I received responses late in the evening or on weekends answering my questions. Their attention to detail was exceptional. From workmanship to finishing touches, everything exceeded our expectations. The fine details consistently surprised me. One example: I found a workman hand-painting grout lines with an artist's watercolor brush at the intersection of a wall and floor. The cabinet work alone--done in their own shop--would have set them apart from other construction companies I've worked with. When we had a custom door fabricated for our dishwasher, the wood was too heavy, so Hanes hollowed out the panel to ensure it matched the thickness of the other cabinets while being substantially lighter than a solid door would have been. From technical execution to financial management, we couldn't be more pleased. Every change order was proposed and explained clearly. In most cases, we recognized the need immediately, though occasionally we needed more detail, which Dave and his team happily and thoroughly provided. We never had concerns about the budget. This is a top-notch outfit. I'm sure we'll be back to make additional adjustments in the future, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Mike made good suggestions on small enhancements within my budget, and my kitchen is now better than ever. He did great work, came in as quoted, was a good communicator, and made me feel confident in the decisions were were making together. I was so happy with the experience, I immediately asked Mike to do a second project: he installed a front porch to my house and replaced my broken walkway with pavers.
