On top of that we had flooding during the storms of last winter and he took on the task of cutting away damaged drywall and fixing baseboards, tearing out built-ins and fixing a barrel vaulted ceiling. He is so professional and with such a positive attitude, not to mention his craftsmanship is impeccable. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Trust Rob to do it right the first time and leave you smiling.

Fontana Construction completed two projects for us-the first took a few months and the second about…read morea month. Stevan Fontana, the owner, is a man of great integrity who takes enormous pride in his work product. He runs a tight organization which makes certain that all jobs run smoothly from engaging and closely monitoring engineers, architects and subcontractors to handling the permitting process and inspection process. Their bills are documented and exact. Time estimates for each stage are provided and prove accurate. Our site supervisor, Jason Mackey, was a delight to have on location. He was extremely competent and diligent and most of all anticipated our concerns. Having him on location enabled us to leave our home for a few weeks as the work progressed. I highly recommend Fontana Construction.

When the Tubbs fire destroyed our Fountaingrove home in October 2017, our decision to rebuild…read morenecessitated finding a contractor we could trust to manage every aspect of our project. We researched and interviewed a number of local contractors, but after we interviewed Fontana Construction of Marin on a friend's recommendation, we knew we'd found the right firm. Fontana was everything we could have hoped for and more, especially during that very stressful time. Extremely client focused and quality conscious, Stevan Fontana's team managed every aspect of the rebuild with consummate professionalism, including prompt communication, regular on-site meetings, and friendly collaboration with our architect and the city of Santa Rosa. Fontana and their reliable subs used high quality fire-resistant building methods and materials. When issues arose, Fontana was reasonable, fair and had our backs at every stage. We are saddened to hear about problems that other rebuilding homeowners have had with their building professionals in addition to all the stress brought on by the fires and their aftermath. Fontana earned our trust and built us a beautiful home on schedule. They have earned our gratitude and our highest recommendation.

We hired Stephen Swan to remodel our much beloved 1911 Craftsman home in Rockridge. When we bought…read morethe house in 2001, it was for the beautiful craftsmanship of the home, and all the beautiful woodwork. Our friend called it a "jewelbox" and we agreed! So, as you can imagine, we had a touch of fear and some very high expectations for our remodel in 2007/8. We worked with a great architect on the vision, and Stephen really brought it all to life for us. From the earliest stages, Stephen built our confidence by being on time for meetings, communicating effectively in person, via phone, via email, etc., and by laying out a project plan that clearly showed our mutual accountability to making the project a success. As you know, there are thousands of decisions in a remodel project. Stephen laid them out simply and made sure we had plenty of time to work though the more challenging decisions for the kitchen and bathrooms, while coaching us through some of the easier decisions that could be made quickly like doors, doorknobs, etc. He has an exceptional crew, and his subcontractors are all individuals/teams that he's worked with multiple times, so everyone knew what to expect. They're all very proud to work with him. Stephen ran a very clean site. We rented a house just a few blocks away, so we were over often, picking up the mail or checking in to see how things were coming along. Stephen was also very thoughtful of our neighbors, inviting their feedback on noise levels, sweeping the sidewalks with magnets to make sure no stray nails, etc. Stephen delivered our project on time and on budget. He's an exceptional communicator and an overall fun person to be around. People often ask when we're gardening in front who helped us with our home remodel, and we always give Stephen Swan our highest recommendation.

Our kitchen is beautiful and well planned and the process was very smooth. Stephen worked closely with us, our designers and various sub contractors to finish our new kitchen within the timeline and budget.

He was in constant communication with us and made us feel like our project was his #1 priority.

Evan, Max, Julio and their entire team cannot be beat. I was very overwhelmed with the design process and they helped me every step on the way. I had no idea contractors helped with design elements and aesthetics. Max even offered wonderful design suggestions that we implanted from tile selection to towel hooks. Edgewood has remodeled two bathrooms, a kitchen and even built a brand new bathroom where one did not exist before. They are reliable and dependable. They commicate well, show up on time and make sure you are completely satisfied with the project upon completion. If things need to be changed or modified they get it down without charging double the price. They could not be more honest and reliable. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

North Bay Construction has been my go-to general contractor for over a decade, and I recommend them…read morewithout hesitation for both major renovations and smaller repair work. ** Long-term projects and scope ** Over the last 10+ years, they have completed three large projects at my home, adding roughly 2,500 square feet of new space. This has included a two-story vaulted-ceiling entertainment room, a workout room, three bathrooms, a master bedroom, a home office, and an entirely new facade, all integrated seamlessly into the existing house. On top of that, they have handled more than a dozen smaller jobs for me, such as a half-bath remodel, a larger bathroom remodel, several leak repairs, and most recently an insulated storage area. ** Quality, follow-through, and fairness ** Their workmanship has been consistently high-quality, and just as important, they stand by everything they build. On the rare occasions when something was not quite right or needed adjustment, they returned and fixed it promptly with no pushback or debate. Their billing has always been fair and transparent, and they work efficiently without dragging projects out longer than necessary. ** Professionalism and neighbor relations ** North Bay Construction's team is professional, respectful, and easy to have on site over long periods of construction. They are polite and thoughtful with neighbors, which matters a lot when you are doing large additions that affect noise, access, and parking. I've seen them navigate those complex neighbor dynamics with patience and tact, helping keep relationships around us positive during disruptive phases of the work. ** Responsiveness and problem-solving ** One of the things I value most is how quickly they respond when something needs attention. If an urgent issue comes up on site, they are often able to come by within the hour to assess and address it. The team is smart, proactive, and willing to jump in rather than letting problems linger, which has given me a lot of confidence throughout each project. ** Overall recommendation ** After working with North Bay Construction on multiple major additions and many smaller projects over more than a decade, I trust them completely with my home. They combine strong craftsmanship, fair billing, excellent communication, and real accountability, and I plan to continue using them for any future renovations or repairs.

During the quote process, he brought all of his subs in to prepare the most comprehensive estimate. It gave us the confidence that there wouldn't be surprises along the way, and our project finished largely on time and on budget at an excellent quality. We lived nearby during construction and checked on the house periodically. The crew was great and the work was neat. On fridays the space was always swept and cleaned up. In contrast to other projects in our neighborhood that seemed to idle for periods of time, things moved forward at all times. If one part was delayed, Judit our wonderful project manager would move another piece up. Obviously with a project this scale there were challenges. Some things needed to be redone, etc. But, John was always such a professional in dealing with each item. We felt like he took accountability and worked with us the find a solution. Lastly, we'll say that many of his subs have worked with him for years and are true craftsmen. We are thrilled with how the project turned out and would work with John again in a heartbeat.
