Ours was a complicated, phased project and Scott was the steady force that kept pushing it forward. His attention to detail, high quality subs, mindfulness of our budget, and excellent execution of the plans gave us peace of mind every step of the way. We would hire Scott again for our next project without hesitation. **★★★★★ — Bret & Lauren B., Feb. 2023** > Both my wife and I had the pleasure of working with Scott Phelps & Haven Development throughout our entire remodel process and could not be happier with the outcome. Scott was hands on through the budget phase providing valuable cost saving input as well as concrete numbers that we could count on. We were also able to finish ahead of schedule despite the various weather that we encountered at critical stages. The level of attention to detail that Scott and his team had when it came to our house was both refreshing and reassuring. The pride of workmanship that Scott has is unmatched and he provides the level of care as if it were his own home. > > I cannot recommend Scott and his team enough. Both Scott and his team were a pleasure to work with throughout our entire remodel process. They have taken the stresses of a remodel and turned them into an enjoyable process that we will always look back fondly on. **★★★★★ — HU-760280513, Jan. 2023** > We were introduced to Scott through another family who’s working with him. We had an entire renovation of our garage, driveway and entire front walkway. Scott and his team were incredibly professional and courteous. He is excellent at communicating every step of the way. We never felt blindsided by the process. His attention to detail is unparalleled. We highly recommend him and will be using him for future projects. **★★★★★ — Ben Gray, March 2022** > I worked with Scott Phelps and Haven Development on complete tear down/rebuild of my property from an old beach cottage to a brand new 2,700 square foot house. Scott worked with me through every stage of the process from design, plan development, and construction. Every step of the way Scott was courteous, knowledgeable, and responsive. This was the first building project I worked on and am extremely grateful that I had such a trusted partner throughout the entire process. > > Overall, I highly recommend working with Scott Phelps and Haven Development. **★★★★★ — Timothy Pettit, May 2021** > We renovated our home, which included significant structural (roof and removal of walls), and were lucky to work with Scott. His professionalism and attention to detail saved us time and money in the long run and we could not be happier with the end result. We wish we had utilized him for our exterior project we did a few years back! All in all, a great end result, especially given the supply (materials) constraints of the current market. **★★★★★ — HU-385472012, Sept. 2020** > We live in another state and were required to make substantial renovations to our home in Newport . We were given Scotts name and met him on site. He reviewed the job, and helped us understand what had to be done to complete the job. Scott and Haven took charge of job on site and worked through the design, permit and construction phases. Just as we began Covid hit. In the face of a potential "shut down", Haven worked with the sub contractors and the city and established a process that allowed work to proceed. As importantly it was done in a with no increase in budget. > > The final results of the effort were everything we hoped, The quality of the workmanship was superior in all regards. Perhaps the greatest test was that when the work had been completed, Scott followed up on any missing details quickly and conscientiously. We could not have been more pleased and recommend Scott and Haven Development without reservation. Jon and Carol Lear **★★★★★ — dcamera69, July 2020** > Haven Development Group is the only residential contractor I would recommend. Scott was without question the "best guy on the job" from start to finish. My project was very complex, as we faced the challenge of completely renovating a 1965 home. Scott had many cost effective solutions throughout the project. Scott excelled in quality control, execution, and effectively managing the schedule for multiple sub contractors. I look forward to doing my next home with Haven. **★★★★★ — Andre BRYSHA, July 2019** > Scott Phelps, owner of Haven Development is a conscientious, detail oriented General Contractor. He did an excellent job building our new home on the Newport Beach Peninsula. We converted a 1940's duplex to a contemporary home with separate apartment while maintaining our R-2 zoning. Our home was a challenging build because of the 10% restrictions on adding additional living space in Newport Beach. We utilized an indoor-outdoor design which incorporated considerable amounts of glass and steel beam engineering. Scott worked diligently with our engineers and the City of Newport Beach to overcome various challenges to complete the project successfully. We highly recommend Scott Phelps as a General Contractor. **★★★★★ — B Darling, Dec. 2018** > Scott completed our remodel/addition on time and on budget. But after living through the construction I realized that while all that was great, the more important things were his excellent communication, his strict standards for his subs, and that he truly wanted to provide a great project for us. We lived in our house during the work, and he worked hard to make that as painless and fast as possible. There was never a question he didn't answer, or a problem he couldn't solve. His professional manner and calm attitude were also a bonus during the whole process. I have, and will continue, to recommend him wholeheartedly as an excellent contractor. **★★★★★ — Katy Kapranopoulos, Aug. 2018** > Scott was a pleasure to work with! His communication was on point which was imperative since we were having the re-model completed while we live in a different state. The work was finished on time and we couldn't be happier! **★★★★★ — Hilary E, Feb. 2018** > Scott is the most competent and professional contractor we've ever met. His communication skills are impeccable! We hired Scott to complete a project for us, and his timeline and budget were 100% accurate. If we could give him 10 stars we would! > Do yourself a favor and hire Haven Development Group. Your project will be seamless, and you'll experience what customer service is supposed to be like. **★★★★★ — Rebecca Cramer, March 2017** > We hired Scott to remodel our downstairs, including the kitchen, two bathrooms and addition of a wine cellar. The project ran completely on time and we were so pleased with the results! Scott was meticulous and reliable, and we would happily work with him on any future projects. ## Selected projects - [Newport Shores Mid-Century Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newport-shores-mid-century-modern-pj-vj~2875749) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 24 - [Dover Shores](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dover-shores-pj-vj~1461674) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 21 - [Lake Forest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-forest-pj-vj~1445456) - Location: Lake Forest, CA - Photos: 18 - [Shady Canyon](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shady-canyon-pj-vj~1454700) - Location: Irvine, CA - Photos: 21 - [Southern Highlands](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southern-highlands-pj-vj~1454760) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [San Juan Capistrano](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-juan-capistrano-pj-vj~1454750) - Location: San Juan Capistrano, CA - Photos: 12 - [Shady Canyon: Blackhawk](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shady-canyon-blackhawk-pj-vj~1473360) - Location: Irvine, CA - Photos: 16 - [Shady Canyon: Golden Eagle](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shady-canyon-golden-eagle-pj-vj~1473342) - Location: Irvine, CA - Photos: 11 - [Southern Highlands](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southern-highlands-pj-vj~1462124) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Westcliffe](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westcliffe-pj-vj~7522804) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 38 - [Newport Shores III](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newport-shores-iii-pj-vj~7522802) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Big Canyon Mid-Century Inspired](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/big-canyon-mid-century-inspired-pj-vj~5586217) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 5 - [Newport Shores II](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newport-shores-ii-pj-vj~7328886) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 7 [See all 13 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/haven-development-group-inc-pfvwus-pf~504453536) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/148932513/list/wish-list) — 1 idea - [Modern Farm House](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/130005099/list/modern-farm-house) — 12 ideas - [Coastal Modern](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/58332173/list/coastal-modern) — 12 ideas - [Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/68163077/list/landscape) — 1 idea - [Wine closet](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/58331599/list/wine-closet) — 1 idea [See all 5 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/havendevgroup) ## Community Q&A **Q: what color is the concrete around the pool?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The concrete is a standard gray with an acryllic modified cement top coat. The process involves grinding the existing concrete, applying an epoxy primer with a silica sand broadcast, applying a finish coat and then 2 color arcylic stain and 2 coats of matte finish sealer. The stain colors are adobe and slate gray. This was done in 2015 and I've seen it recently and it has held up beautifully. **Q: I love the tile, what is the name of it and where can I buy it?** *(in Photo Questions)* B A: Hello. I'm glad to hear you love the look. The wall tile, shower floor penny rounds and bath floor tile all came from Mission Tile West in Costa Mesa, CA. Contact Dona Turk. **Q: LOVE the river rock looking floor in the shower/tub area!** *(in Photo Questions)* Would love to know the brand and where to purchase! TIA. A: The tile came from Mission Tile West in Costa Mesa, CA. Contact Donna Turk dona@missiontilewest.com She should be able to figure it out from the Houzz photo. You can tell her it was for the Clarke residence in 2014 if that helps. **Q: what material is the fireplace surround?** *(in Photo Questions)* Interested to know the fireplace surround material please. A: It is venetian plaster. You can find it at high end paint shops or most high end drywallers will do a plaster finish. **Q: Deck floor glass** *(in Photo Questions)* What brand glass windows for the floor? Did it help bring light into lower area well? A: I am curious too. What brand are the skylights and how they are waterproofed? --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
