Finding the right builder for a home remodel is never an easy task. In the Bay Area, their are many…read morecompanies that excel in kitchen, bathroom and play rooms. Strand Builders is one of the companies I would highly recommend. Steve Strand has been helping homeowners for over 30 years. He is very professional, high skilled and most importantly has high integrity. Steve goes out of his way to please his clients. If considering an expansion, consult with Strand Builders.

In 2015 my husband and I began construction on a new-build farmhouse in the Orinda Country Club…read morearea and Steve Strand took over the construction of our home at a point where we were completing the dry wall. Despite being a brand new build, it was effectively a back-to-studs re-model when Steve came on-board. Our home is highly-custom utilizing high-end fixtures and fittings which can sometimes be finickity to install but Steve's experienced network of subs didn't get phased. The walls downstairs are custom milled poplar siding which were sawn and installed board-by-board and upstairs we have board and batten siding throughout demanding quality carpentry work. There was a moment shortly after Steve came on-board which I have shared with friends that, for me, captures how Steve approaches his work. I came up to the site a few days after Steve came on-board and he had purchased a number of Ipe decking boards for our porch. Steve was showing me these Ipe boards and explaining why he had chosen each one in terms of the vibrancy and complexity of each board and while trying to have a conversation about these boards, I was welling up because I knew then that we had finally found a contractor who cared as much as we did about the details of our home; this was on the tail of parting ways with a very challenging contractor. Steve's attention to detail never, ever, faltered regardless of what that meant to the timeline of the project. His focus on delivering an amazing outcome combined with his talent and experience to achieve that goal is the reason why he is such a successful custom home builder. As another example, the stovetop range hood took days to get perfectly right involving multiple attempts up and down a ladder to get the fit perfect. Steve could have fudged it and moved on but that's simply not his approach and I'm grateful for that everyday. There are so many areas in my home which have been elevated by Steve's attention to detail. Lastly, Steve and his superbly talented carpenter, Carlos, are professional and respectful to work with. Contractors who successfully work with clients on a custom home build need to be patient, flexible, creative and have a business model that allows them to focus on delivering an amazing outcome. Other builders might focus on speed and budget which is ideal for spec homes but not custom homes. I can't recommend Steve Strand highly enough. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with him, you will be in the very best hands. Steve completed our home in December 2016 and worked so hard to finish the house so that we could be in for Christmas. We're indebted to Steve for coming on-board and creating such a beautiful home for our family.

Every person they brought is was professional, easy to work with, and cleaned up at the end of the day. I now have 2 fabulous bathrooms with everything I wanted in them - even some features ASD Woodworks recommended based on my taste. They are both beautiful, function exactly how I wanted. One of the city inspectors even asked for the name of the contractor, they were so impressed. Everyone on ASD staff was very helpful. I also want to call out two of the contractors they brought in for specific work - Precision Tile and Design, Inc - the tile was so well done, a friend has already hired them to do her house! And Alex Brinkman of Brinkman Construction - fantastic plumber. Full disclosure here - they did not complete in the timeframe they initially stated, but for this quality work - I am perfectly happy to wait a few extra days. Once of the best experiences I have ever had with housing contractor. Will use them again.
