and Pat, San Francisco, CA
~ Kitchen & bathroom remodel
When
we decided to remodel, we had a few basic ideas. C.R. Hunt Building & Design helped us turn those ideas
into a vision and then he transformed that vision into a reality. The most impressive
thing about working with Craig was his honesty. He told us up front how long it
would take to complete the project and he and his crew worked tirelessly to meet
our deadline and he delivered right on time. He kept our budget in mind while
purchasing all the appliances, fixtures and materials and came up with ideas to
help us save money with out compromising quality. In fact, quality was C.R. Hunt Building & Design's
number one priority. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail resulted in a finished
product that far exceeded our expectation. The result has completely changed our
living environment. Thank you C.R. Hunt Building & Design!

~ Victorian façade restoration & interior remodel including the kitchen & bathrooms
We
bought an old, run-down house and had a month in which to make it habitable before
we had to move in. We brought Craig in to do some carpentry restoration. His own work was excellent.
Furthermore, we had many workers in the house at the same time and Craig took
ownership, as he would say, of the project: he coordinated the work that was done;
tactfully but firmly pointed out when things weren't being done well in a way
that didn't seem to offend other workers, but did motivate them.
Craig was clear
in his communication with us about timing and costs, and he showed up when he said he would or let us know if there would be a delay.
In short he saved our lives. All the messy, disruptive work was done by move-in.
C.R. Hunt Building & Design was a pleasure to work with and we recommend them without reservation.

~ Complete internal and external restoration of a Julia Morgan designed fraternity house including seismic and data communications upgrades
I recently worked with C.R. Hunt Building & Design on the complete refurbishment of a fraternity house at 2725 Channing Way Berkeley, CA. After interviewing several candidates, C.R. Hunt Building & Design was selected based on their experience and enthusiasm for the job. The house was a real mess but they looked through this and saw the problems as solvable challenges.
Craig showed the ability to find good employees and lead them in doing outstanding work. The pleasant attitude of all the workers reflected the positive attitude of their leader. Craig also got along well with the many inspectors who oversaw and had to pass on all the various aspects of the work. I believe that was enhanced by the perception that C.R. Hunt Building & Design gave to
all, that they would only do things properly.
C.R. Hunt Building & Design has established a good relationship with their various subcontractors by treating them fairly and paying them promptly but always demanding top performance. I also found Craig to be very helpful in assisting in making the many selections and choices necessary in a comprehensive project. I am extremely pleased with my good fortune of having done business with C.R. Hunt Building & Design and recommend them without hesitancy to others wanting an excellent general contractor.

~ Home remodel including additional rooms, kitchen and bathroom
Pete and I wanted to write a short note to thank C.R. Hunt Building & Design for the exceptional work your team just performed on our new house in Piedmont. Craig and the team are a pleasure to work with, incredibly “can do” and client focused. It was absolutely amazing how much they accomplished in two short weeks.
In addition, I personally really appreciated C.R. Hunt Building & Design's phenomenal project management skills, attention to detail and ability to get all the different types of work our house required done within such a short timing window. When I asked them to show up at noon that first Monday, everybody was there and ready to go with marching orders spelled out. I can’t tell you how great a feeling it was to know that everything was “under control” from minute one!

~ Conversion of an office space into a spa and salon
You
always hear about horror stories of bad contractors. I have to admit that I was
on my way to having a horror story of my own until I found C.R. Hunt Building & Design.
I
was opening my first business and I took over a space that needed to be fully
gutted. Basically, I needed to start from scratch. My space needed new electrical,
plumbing, floors, walls, etc. Very shortly after the project began, I realized
that everything was going wrong. My estimates were tripling, projects were not
getting done on time, and there didn't seem to be a sense of control of my new space.
I needed to change something fast, and luckily, I asked C.R. Hunt Building & Design
to step in. From that moment on, I started to see positive changes in my project.
To start, C.R. Hunt Building & Design was educated and informed on every step of the process
from permits to actual construction and materials. They gave me a realistic estimate, which was obviously crucial for me. In addition, I felt that
I had someone who was able to take control and get each milestone done on time.
If there were materials or decisions to be made on my part, Craig made sure I gave
him what he needed in order for his team to finish things in a timely manner. Personally, I felt that C.R. Hunt Building & Design understood the financial strain on my
business every day that I was not open. Not to mention, I didn't have to put so
much effort into worrying if things were getting done because they
took that responsibility off my shoulders.
As for the subcontractors they chose,
I felt each subcontractor took care of their responsibilities on time and in an
extremely professional manner. Their professionalism showed in their punctuality,
attendance, and quality of work. Not to mention, the subcontractors and the C.R. Hunt Building & Design
team went the extra mile by attending to small details and even cleaning up after
themselves everyday! In addition to a truly skilled group of people, I feel that
each member exemplified integrity in their work and stood behind it. Weeks after
the project was finished, Craig even checked in to make sure that
our facility was running smoothly.
I can't imagine what this project would
have been like without C.R. Hunt Building & Design.
My husband and I will definitely
use this great team when we expand our business; and we will not hesitate to use
them when we remodel our home. To be able to trust any contractor is a gift because
there are so many other things to worry about as a business or homeowner. I had
to learn the hard way that reliability and honesty are hard to come by in contractors.
There is truly value in good contractors and no money is worth saving when you
have peace of mind.
Thanks C.R. Hunt Building & Design!
