It was built in 1985 and needed a complete overhaul. We took out a wall between the kitchen/dining room and the living room to make the first floor an open floor plan. We turned the attic space into a beautiful new master bathroom and a walk in closet. There was not a space left untouched. Robert did a beautiful job and was very attentive to what I wanted and to what needed to be done to assure that everything was done according to the city requirements. Robert has a group of sub contractors that he uses that are qualified and professional. I highly recommend Robert Loftus Construction if you are looking for a contractor who will be there for you every step of the way. **★★★★★ — Beach Builders Supply, April 2016** > Bob Loftus is one of the "Greats" in the building industry. He performs quality work > using quality building materials. We would highly recommend Robert Loftus Construction > to anyone looking for an experienced and intelligent contractor. **★★★★★ — skdodd, Feb. 2016** > Bob and his team completed a remodel of 2 bathrooms in our home. He was there each morning before any workers. The bathrooms were done on time and on budget. We appreciated Bob so much, we are about to begin a major remodel of our kitchen and outdoor patio and will be working with Bob on the project. **★★★★★ — deborah ivar, Oct. 2013** > I began a large scale remodel of my home with a different contractor, and it soon became apparent that the scope of the job and all aspects were beyond his abilities. After terminating our original contractor and being months behind schedule, we hired Bob to come in and complete the job. Bob was amazing in his take charge style. He contacted all of the subs and got everything back on track right away. He was on the job from early in the morning throughout the entire day. He was there to direct, manage, answer questions, make corrections and deal with any problem that arose. He was efficient, professional, thorough, creative, personable and took care of everything. My only regret is that Bob was not there from the very beginning. I would hire Bob without question for any type of construction project in the future. He was terrific! **★★★★★ — erikssonal, Oct. 2013** > We recently completed a major remodel project on our 30 year old house. We hired Robert Loftus Construction for the project after receiving some great recommendations from friends that had used Bob’s company. We were extremely pleased with the results. Bob finished the job within the time frame promised and the quality of the work performed was top notch. Not a day went by when workers were at our house making progress. > > When we were interviewing contractors for the job, we stated we wanted to remain in our home while the work was being done. The other prospective contractors tried to talk us out of it and said the only available solution was plastic sheeting. Bob thoughtfully devised a two story temporary wall on the first day of the project that kept out the dust, minimized noise and maintained our home's security. > > As we went through the remodel process, we quickly learned that if Bob made a suggestion, we should take it. His guidance was wonderful, always looking out for our best interests and ensuring that the look and feel of the design matched with our personal style and was within our budget. We could not have asked for a better general contractor or a better result. > > We highly recommend Bob Loftus to anyone considering a building/remodel project. **★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2013** > Bob Loftus help build our dream house and retirement home. Working with a very accomplished architect he accomplished our construction in 14 months, this included tearing down the old structure. His work was of the highest quality and his business practices were impeccable. We appreciated his expertise and design knowledge and value his friendship today. We have gladly shown our home for some his prospective clients and would do so today. **★★★★★ — reddenfamily, July 2013** > We've had the pleasure of working with Bob Loftus on several projects; most recently a full re-model of a home we acquired a little over a year ago. Each time we've worked with Bob, his company has done a first-rate, quality job. His attention to detail and excellent working relationship with the trades he employs makes all the difference in the process, as well as, the finished result. Bob is easy to work with, reliable, and always maintains a positive attitude. > > When building a home, often there are unforeseen things that can arise. Bob would always be one step ahead, continually adding value by providing solutions, yet fully respecting the budget. We are thrilled with the finished projects and would absolutely recommend Bob Loftus to anyone looking for a full-service general contractor. **★★★★★ — harthill, June 2013** > Bob was an excellent contractor, above and beyond my expectations. He was recommended by 2 of my neighbors and fulfilled all my expectations. He has excellent subcontractors and is even willing to work with a sub you recommend. > His prices are not only fair, but he is excellent at pointing out where you can save money, saving me $9000 on windows alone, by reducing their length, a change not even noticeable without seeing them side by side. He also continues to address any loose ends, even after the job is compete. His standards are high, addressing details with his subs that I failed to notice. > I have hired him for 2 additional projects and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. **★★★★★ — jillastevea, May 2013** > Bob Loftus was responsible for a successful and significant remodeling project to our custom hilltop, ocean-view home. The project began with a complete interior demolition and encompassed framing, drywall and stucco repair, electrical, audio-visual, HVAC, flooring, stone and tile masonry, plumbing, extensive cabinetry and finish carpentry, painting, and lighting elements. > > After evaluating several contractors, Bob’s depth of knowledge, patience, sensitivity to our needs and desires, and his genuine enthusiasm for our project clearly distinguished him. Although we were not his only clients, he made us feel that our project was his top priority. > > His talents were quickly apparent after coordinating preliminary meetings between us and his primary trade subcontractors for the purpose of clarifying our needs and exploring beneficial options. Moreover, Bob enjoys very long-term relationships with these very skilled subcontractors. > > Perhaps the most significant observation about Bob’s craftsmanship is the fact that major construction elements, such as the enclosure of our upstairs loft, cannot be distinguished as “new” elements. The finished project looks as though it was designed and built as such since original construction. In short, the results are “seamless” and far exceeded our expectations. > > Bob was extraordinarily helpful and understanding, and his many suggestions and advice were offered with discretion and reassurance. His attention to detail, as well as client service and satisfaction is rare. Moreover, we found his trustworthiness to be as notable as his construction skills and professionalism. > > Bob’s calm and confident approach was comforting when the inevitable unforeseen obstacle arose. His resourcefulness was invaluable, as he succeeded in identifying practical solutions and pricing otherwise unattainable. Our budget was not modest, nor was it extravagant, but Bob’s diligence permitted the project to finish under-budget. Additionally, he worked very well with our interior designer and suppliers, winning their respect, while steadfastly safeguarding our interests. > > Residential construction improvement projects can be daunting, but Bob made our experience enjoyable. He delivered everything that he promised, and more. We are pleased to recommend Robert Loftus Construction. > > Steve & Jill Beyer > San Clemente, CA **★★★★★ — 1338bed, May 2013** > Robert Loftus Construction did a great job with the complete rehab of our home in San Clemente, CA. This was a very big job as this included all new plumbing, sewer, water, gas and electric from the street to the house. Also, all new landscaping. This was a custom job dine in a most professional manner. Budget and timelines were met, you will not find a better contractor to work with. > > Robert J Talerico ## Selected projects - [Mediterrarean Retirement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mediterrarean-retirement-pj-vj~240133) - Location: San Clemente, CA - Photos: 21 - Description: The owner inherited the lot and an old house and tore it down to build his retirement dream home.

What is the square footage of this space?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The courtyard was approximately 24' x 16'. The fireplace was right on the property line, The rock facing was the backside of the interior staircase, the doors on the right open to the media area and guest bedroom comes out at a right angle to the doors to form a 3 sided courtyard. The stairway above the rock facing leads to a deck on the roof with an ocean view. **Q: Nice! What wall texture is this? Venetian Plaster?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It is smooth drywall with a faux finish. **Q: Recessed lights** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello, could you pls let me know where could I get the beams - or how you built it - for the recessed lights? We got a huge celing with no wires and I am thinking about a similar solution for our living room. Many thanks. A: You can build the "beams" out of drywall and framing. The drywall has to have a smooth finish, no texture. Add the crown around the inside of the box and install can lights in framing. Paint the drywall and trim all the same color. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-09.*
