**★★★★★ — tracimitch, Sept. 2016**

> Frank at FP Builders has tackled variety of projects for us at our old-world custom home in the Tiburon hills, including major repairs and a downstairs remodel. Frank is extremely professional and has loads of experience, knowledge and integrity. His crew is always courteous and polite (which is a good thing when you have contractors in your home for extended periods of time). If you are looking for a top notch builder and value exceptional craftmanship, I highly recommend him.

**★★★★★ — mrsgmt, March 2016**

> I have worked with Frank the owner of FP Builders for over 40 years. I have hired him over the years to do all levels of work- from a small remodel to large remodels to building an entire house . His quality of work is impeccable. He is efficient, honest, responsible and easy to work with . His subs are all top level. Anytime there is a problem he is quick to respond and gets it dealt with ASAP. I have done several projects and always use Frank. I would never even consider calling anyone else.

**★★★★★ — johngrauel, Feb. 2016**

> Our project was a major rebuild – down to the studs, new foundation, new structural components - basically everything new. After interviewing several contractors, we chose FP Builders (FPB) based on our interview, customer reports and their significant experience with major projects.
>
> We had a close working relationship with the contractor and his foreman. We scheduled a weekly progress meeting and met more often as required. I had nearly daily contact with the foreman and he was on the job every day.
>
> An FPB strength is attention to detail. There were dozens, perhaps hundreds of details that were not and could not have been specified in advance. I always felt that little or nothing would surprise us.
>
> FPB is transparent with all financial transactions. You, the customer, will see all costs and charges in detail. More importantly, the FPB folks are honest, good human beings and we believed that we could expect them to manage the project in our best interest.
>
> FPB was superior in managing the sub-contractors. We were paying for quality work and the sub-contractors were held to the appropriately high standards.
>
> FPB made great suggestions for improvements during the process and they were responsive in making these or other changes. Whenever I wanted to alter something they did so without grief.
>
> The end product is a terrific home. All workmanship is superior. We highly recommend you consider FPB for your project.

**★★★★★ — Angel Chan, Feb. 2016**

> I've worked with FP Builders on numerous projects of every size for the last 10 years. They are consistently reliable and professional. They have amazing follow up and are fun to be around. Our client is very exacting and we rely on FP Builders to maintain the highest standards! Whether our project has been small or massive, they give the same level of attentiveness and precision. I highly recommend FP Builders.

**★★★★★ — stephany76, Feb. 2016**

> We hired FP builders to do our remodel of our home and we absolutely hired the right company to do the job.   All of his workers were professional and nice, the quality is superb and their schedule and pricing were never a surprise.  They were also incredibly clean inside the home and kept everything on the outside nice too.  Frank, the owner of the company, is a very honest and experienced contractor.  You get what you pay for in this industry and when it comes to your home, it's worth every penny to get quality work done by someone you trust.  Even today, I can call Frank with a small question about our home and he always responds and still makes us feel important.

**★★★★★ — C Wright Design, Dec. 2015**

> I am an interior designer in the San Francisco Bay Area and it has been my distinct pleasure to work with Frank Puliafico on many projects since 1992. His work, and that of his excellent crews, is of the highest quality and the experience of working with Frank is always a delight. Designers always worry about their projects but I never worry about a project if Frank is the builder. He is, at all times, organized, proactive, honest, dependable, trustworthy and smart. He has carefully trained his crews and they are some of the best craftsmen (and people) I've had the pleasure to work with in my career. Frank has the breadth of knowledge and experience to assess a job, trouble-shoot any potential issues in advance, fairly price and prepare spreadsheets on both costs and schedule, and manage all aspects of the project effortlessly (or at least it seems that way!). His referrals are stellar and he is free with his knowledge. If you get a chance to work with Frank you are lucky, indeed! Cynthia Wright, C Wright Design
