Paul Hofmann Construction

We feel very fortunate to have worked with Paul and his team on our whole house renovation - both inside and out. Paul is clearly very passionate about his work which results in great craftsmanship and attention to detail. Paul and team have always been very helpful and accessible as well as solution oriented. When unexpected issues arose, including the pandemic, Paul always provided us with options and solutions that would both address the circumstances as well as meet our needs. With us being new to Vancouver Island and often out of town, we knew we could trust Paul to coordinate all aspects of the job, from obtaining permits, providing us with a designer, coordinating all trades as well as, personally doing the work himself. Paul is a knowledgeable man with many talents and it is a pleasure to highly recommend him and his team. The Marshalls

Paul and his very competent crew created an amazing new kitchen for us in our 1907 Maclure house. The large room was stripped right back to the studs, the floor levelled, all new plumbing and wiring installed, and bespoke cabinets, large island and pantry unit created and installed. Due to the age of the house, there were many challenges which Paul and his crew overcame with ease. We could not be happier with the results and continue to enjoy our very busy and lively kitchen! Pictures of the completed kitchen are available in the December 2019 YAM magazine.

Paul and his team did an amazing job renovating and insulating our home! Over 9 months, they transformed our 1970's split level from a ugly, neglected and inefficient home to one that is not only comfortable all year but also a pleasure to cook in and a joy to come home to. Paul has extensive knowledge and experience in all aspects of renovation, is a phenomenal leader and mentor to his employees and completed all work to an exceptionally high level. We relied on Paul to plan and coordinate many of the building envelope upgrades and were very impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. Our original energy usage before Paul Hofmann Construction started was 216 GJ/year. It was lowered to 54 GJ/year (which is well below the 85 GJ/year energy usage of a new house) after the work was complete. This phenomenal increase in efficiency would not have been possible if not for the high level of collaboration Paul brings to the job, his attention to detail and excellent ability to source and coordinate subcontractors.

As a Designer, I have worked with many contractors, the good and the not so good. It has been an absolute pleasure of mine working with Paul & his construction team! Paul has an in-depth knowledge of construction and quality workmanship. Paul's work ethic, positive attitude, and most importantly attention to detail; made my job as a Designer a lot easier! Most importantly his clients know they can trust him and his team to get the job done properly and in a timely manner.

My husband found Paul Hofmann through the Internet when we were researching outdoor living space ideas. We highly recommend him and his team. What drew us to consult with Paul was the idea of an off-site construction for pergolas. The thought of not having to hear chain saws and hammers for days on end was quite appealing. We were also very impressed with the look of the projects he had completed and the quality of the materials he used. When Paul came to our house for the consultation he was on time, very polite and informative. He provided options and helped us price out the best materials for our budget. His estimate of work came in relatively close to projected, and the difference in price was mostly related to changes in cost with the secondary project (excavation and widening of existing desk space, and laying of cement pavers) and not due to cost over-runs on his part at all. Each day he and his team were on-site, they were courteous, respectful and left the site cleaner then when they arrived; which was quite a challenge as the secondary project was pretty muddy! Through his creative design and attention to detail, our back yard now has some serious wow factor!

Paul Hoffman Construction completed a 3-tiered 1200 sq. ft. Ipe deck for us this fall (2013). The deck overlooks a small lake just outside Victoria, BC. It includes a thru deck tree, hot tub area, small bistro sitting area, and a larger BBQ entertainment area. We are extremely pleased with the results. Paul, Josh and crew demonstrated the highest degree of professionalism throughout this project. Their knowledge and attention to detail was outstanding. The particularly dense Ipe harwood is challenging to work with requiring extra skill, quality tools and superb craftsmanship. Every aspect of the project was addressed with care and integrity. We would not hesitate to recommend this exceptionally hardworking firm to anyone.

I worked with Paul and his wife Laura in the fall and winter of 2013 and cannot speak highly enough of their business and professionalism. They are extremely responsive to suggestions, polite, great communicators, and treat their team well. The projects I've seen from PHC are of high calibre and I would recommend them without hesitation.

I hired Paul Hofmann Construction to perform carpentry work on a duplex renovation in which the building was lifted off its foundation, the interior completely gutted and was reframed including structural upgrades. I found Paul and his whole crew to be extremely professional in their dealings with me acting as general contractor and with other trades working on the site. There were able to effectively communicate timelines for different stage of completion and collaborated with other trades to do the best job possible. I am very satisfied with the overall finished product and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again. Andrew Mills

We really enjoyed working with Paul and his team in building our ipe wood deck. Paul is extremely professional and caring. The team's attention to detail was exemplary - they did not just "measure twice and cut once" but continually checked and rechecked their work. They had great ideas to add to the project and worked very well together. They have the finest tools, which were needed for this very hard wood. The result was precision craftsmanship - more like cabinetry than decking - very impressive. Paul Hoffman Construction is an exceptional company. We would definitely use them again!

Hiring a contractor for the first time is a process fraught with peril. Having said that, hiring Paul Hofmann Construction for our project could not have been a better decision. From our first meeting through to the completion of our deck, Paul and his team were the very definition of professional. The work is outstanding and is the product of craftsmen, not builders. Every aspect of the job; design, the permit, materials choice, hardware, sub-contractors, and the site itself, were addressed. The stress and concern we were prepared to experience simply did not arise. We were briefed on a daily basis, and there were no surprises. We could not be happier with the finished product and the process, and would recommend Paul to anyone searching for a contractor with integrity and skill.

Paul Hofmann Construction completed a major renovation to our home. We could not have been more pleased with the results. Undergoing a renovation is not easy however, Paul's organizational skills made the whole project flow perfectly. Paul and Josh proved that they are very hardworking, knowledgable, and perfectly capable of completing any construction job they undertake.

Paul Hofmann Construction has been the builder of a number of our designs. Their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship have ensured each project has been a total success! He is willing to work with us before construction begins to clearly define all aspects of the build; quite often we are encouraged to find detailed solutions to problems before they arise. Paul has always taken a hands on approach to working with our design team to confirm that what we plan he can construct in the most efficient manor and for the long term benefit of the client. It is a pleasure to work with Paul Hofmann Carpentry and we highly recommend Paul to our clients.
