Inestroza - Testimonial

When my partner inherited his mother’s 100+ year old house in San Francisco, we wanted to preserve the flow and feel of a classic Queen Anne style house, while also bringing it up to 21st century standards. Hiring an architect who genuinely listened to our ideas and desires was the first step, but we needed a contractor who could truly render those plans in wood, steel, and stucco. Fortunately, an article in the San Francisco Chronicle led us to Podesta Construction. A visit to a similar whole house project just a couple of blocks from our house landed them on our short list.

We chose Podesta as our contractor based on testimonials from other satisfied clients, their detailed project cost analysis, their reputation for keeping to schedules, their continued good relations with clients long after the end of the project, and their reputation for maintaining a clean and well kept site. It was very important to us that our neighbors not be subjected to more inconvenience, noise, and mess than absolutely necessary.

Weekly, and then every other week meetings with the architect and Podesta ensured that plans were interpreted correctly and issues resolved promptly. Perhaps more important, ideas for improving the overall design were debated and incorporated into the project with a minimum of disruption to the schedule.

We are thrilled with our totally renovated house and thankful that we found the right architect and contractor to help us realize our dreams. In so many ways, a home renovation, especially one as extensive as ours, is a more difficult project than building from scratch. It takes an experienced contractor to work though all the potential glitches. We would not hesitate to recommend Podesta to anyone in need of such an experienced contractor.
