We researched and interviewed a number of local contractors, but after we interviewed Fontana Construction of Marin on a friend’s recommendation, we knew we’d found the right firm. > Fontana was everything we could have hoped for and more, especially during that very stressful time. Extremely client focused and quality conscious, Stevan Fontana’s team managed every aspect of the rebuild with consummate professionalism, including prompt communication, regular on-site meetings, and friendly collaboration with our architect and the city of Santa Rosa. Fontana and their reliable subs used high quality fire-resistant building methods and materials. > When issues arose, Fontana was reasonable, fair and had our backs at every stage. We are saddened to hear about problems that other rebuilding homeowners have had with their building professionals in addition to all the stress brought on by the fires and their aftermath. Fontana earned our trust and built us a beautiful home on schedule. They have earned our gratitude and our highest recommendation. > (I'm including photos taken by Treve Johnson after the completion of our home.) **★★★★★ — Bohemian Stoneworks, Jan. 2019** > We have worked with Stevan and his team in the past and this project was just to confirm our experience while working with Fontana Construction: > Stevan brought us on to this wonderful project in Belvedere-Tiburon to work with their client on an interior fireplace surround. During the entire process of the project Stevan was involved to ensure all details and requirements are met. With the help and support of Fontana Construction we were able to turn around the project quickly and without problems. The final result was a wonderful designed fireplace and a happy client! > > Thank you Stevan and Fontana Construction **★★★★★ — Floortex Design, Oct. 2017** > We provide and install flooring products for Fontana Construction and find them to have very high expectations of their suppliers and their clients' best interests at heart. We love seeing our flooring installed in their projects because they make it look its best with their high level of craftsmanship. **★★★★★ — oldnolder, March 2015** > My spouse and I are long-time clients, having first used Fontana Construction in 1984 to expand and remodel our 1970's California redwood home on a steep hillside. In the past 30 years, we're completed three other renovations - in Mill Valley, Penngrove, and San Francisco -- and one new residence from dirt to occupation, including installation of infrastructure. My contacts at Fontana Construction patiently taught me how to be a responsible hands-on owner. After projects were finished, every lingering detail has been addressed, even years later. I've worked with different foremen, each one a pleasure to deal with. Fontana knows how to repair other contractor's shabby workmanship. Part of the deal is having subcontractors who excel at their craft. This is a professional outfit. **★★★★★ — crase, March 2015** > We did a complete gut and remodel of a 2-unit building in San Francisco. This was our first renovation, and the Fontana team worked with us from the get-go, on value engineering (even if we didn't listen) and project management. Their time was timely, straight-forward, and honest - helping us through the entire project. The quality of the work is top notch, and a year plus later we have only has one very small issue arise - which is amazing. > > They would come highly recommended. I would use them again on future projects, and have recommended them to friends. **★★★★★ — Elena Bordigoni, March 2015** > Fontana was the General Contractor for the remodel of my property in Belvedere. It was a complete remodel and I was overseas for most of the construction time. They are extremely knowledgeable and professional. They have carried out the work very satisfactory and I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Mike Larkin Architecture, March 2015** > I have worked with Fontana Construction on many projects ranging from small but detailed bathroom remodels to large residential renovations. Without exception the clients have been very happy with the professionalism which is carried out through the entire life of the project. All building projects are filled with details and the staff keep a very close eye on these details and making sure the client is happy with the results. **★★★★★ — rolandosborne, March 2015** > Our project manager Nathan Serratore saved the day on multiple occasions. We had a flaky architect, difficult neighbours, and plenty of unforeseeable issues, but Nathan was there to keep everything on track within a reasonable budget. Overall we were very happy with Fontana Construction, especially our project manager. **★★★★★ — Ross Painting, Nov. 2014** > Ross Painting is a high end, high value painting contracting company and we have been fortunate to have had an ongoing relationship with Fontana Construction for over 11-years on over 30-projects. > In every case, Fontana brings together a team of skilled professionals to work and under their direction they make real an architect's and designer's vision. They consistently deliver a quality product on time and within budget... and all the time they are a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — User, June 2012** > The experience from start to finish has been one of complete satisfaction- from the beginning Mr. Fontana was very helpful and professional in that he explained in great detail the projects challenges and possibilities. > > Offering along the way opportunities for design change in a seamless and sensible way, the people at Fontana construction really took the time to accommodate our wishes and desires. > > This is not an easy thing to accomplish and we would recommend them to anyone who is building or renovating a challenging design in a Home. > > Regards, > > Gary Spratt ## Selected projects - [Belvedere II](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belvedere-ii-pj-vj~7293877) - Location: Belvedere, CA - Photos: 13 - [Belvedere I](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belvedere-i-pj-vj~7293860) - Location: Belvedere, CA - Photos: 9 - [Tiburon Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tiburon-project-pj-vj~6728432) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: Located in the beautiful town of Tiburon, this single-family home has been completely renovated from top to bottom.

Is it, and if so, what is the color called and what type of wood is it on. A: Hi Pete, Got that information for you!! What we did was use 3/4 inch Poplar slabs with Maple interior veneers. Then the exterior was painted with a black semi-gloss finish. Thanks for checking us out!! **Q: Love the bar stools** *(in Photo Questions)* Are they vintage, or reproduction? A: These Stools happen to be vintage that the owners had prevoiusly. If you search the internet for vintage bar stools you will find a few sites that will have a pair or set of vintage stools that are one offs. **Q: Molding** *(in Photo Questions)* Where is the plaque molding from? It's gorgeous! A: Hi, Sorry for the delay in responding. We did not redo the crown. This is existing. A place you can get molding like the one you see in a photo a place called Van Dyke's. They are online. **Q: Roxie50** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I buy those French doors what color paint is on them A: The French doors were the original doors that were built with the house decades ago. There are a few companys' like 4th Street Woodworking Co.. in Berekley, CA. If not from the Bay Area look up custom door builders. As for the color I am still waiting for a response. **Q: Love the cups and tea pot** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful kitchen. I love those teacups and tea pot, can you tell me where to find those? Thanks. A: These were owned by the clients previous to our remodel. **Q: What are counter top surfaces?
