Featured Reviews for Petaluma, CA Design-Build Firms

Holly & Associates, Inc
Petaluma, CA Design-Build Firms
November 10, 2014
“I had the opportunity to get to know Janver Holly several years ago when we both attended a professional training program together. You will notice his simple earnestness from the first time you meet him. There are no smoke and mirrors with Janver. He is a building professional committed to doing a good job, and his business is built on honesty and respect. He has become a good friend, and I have the highest degree of respect for who he is and the business he has built. I would not hesitate to hire him to do my own project, and would encourage anyone looking for a good building contractor to do the same. You will enjoy working with him!”

Salt Shed Design Build
Petaluma, CA Design-Build Firms
January 14, 2020
“After losing our home in Santa Rosa in the 2017 fires, we decided to rebuild and chose Salt Shed Design and Build. We chose them because we knew they could take this project from start to finish and because we loved the contemporary California design they are famous for and quality of construction they can provide. In the chaotic post fire environment of our area, the Salt Shed team proved to be the steady and reliable entity we needed. We worked with a team of professionals in their specific fields that guided us through the innumerable choices and decisions since the very start. We had no experience building a home and did not know what to expect. In addition we were quite shaken and in shock after loosing our home and its contents so suddenly. Everybody at Salt Shed was always responsive and patient with us. We communicated with them weekly through emails, texts, teleconferences, and in person. We were in constant connection directly with the CEO, Matthew, with our fantastic project manager, Jordan, and our interior designer extraordinaire, Michael. Communication is key in this long and complicated process, and the team assigned to our project showed there is a strong network among them and a solid company structure. Jordan, Michael, and Matthew always welcome us and discuss with us our ideas while giving their advice with generosity and consideration. They care about our project and it shows in the quality of materials and labor they choose for us. In addition, they are very careful when choosing the best contractor at the best price for our advantage. They are very open and honest, they always listen to our proposals and are always available to discuss them with us. We highly trust this company and we would hire them again!”

“From the start of our project Design Build has been nothing but professional and extremely creative making my dream home come to life!! The whole team has a great work ethic and chemistry that makes working with them enjoyable. They truly listen to their clients , keep within proposed timeline & budget, and are very helpful with design and decision making. Their in house designer is the BEST! We love their services so much we have recommended them to our friends (and now they are building their home as well!). Anyone who chooses to work with Design Build will be more than satisfied ! Thanks! Danielle Perez”
Heritage Salvage
Petaluma, CA Design-Build Firms
May 10, 2014
“Wonderful experience! I had ordered a pre-made kitchen island I felt would be too large. I went to Heritage Salvage not knowing what to expect, but sure a custom island would be out of my budget. They said they could make me something for the same price I was going to pay for the other...and then worked with me to design something exactly to my needs and specifications. It was a very fun experience. The best part is the wood is from a pre 1906 earthquake building in San Francisco, where I grew up. I love that the heart of my kitchen has a story!”
Ramirez Builders
Petaluma, CA Design-Build Firms
April 18, 2017
“David Ramirez is an excellent construction builder. He is honest, talented, hard working, efficient and clean in his work habits, and delivers construction projects with outstanding outcomes and fair and reasonable prices. Dave has rebuilt our very large deck, outdoor two flight stairway after dry rot, and has installed major over- head storage platforms in our 3 car garage. Dave has donated his time to help scores of Boy Scouts on their construction Eagle projects, including my son. He has a positive, likable, can do attitude and high integrity. I appreciate all he has done for us very much. R Klein”

March 27, 2019
“I am so happy to be moving back into our home. We lost our home in 2017, and we have felt like we were in limbo ever since. Re-building our home was a daunting process. We are glad that we partnered with Silvermark to make it happen. I received updates regularly from Sarah & Ken. Sarah listened to my vision, and helped me stay in budget on our fixtures. The accounting team helped me coordinate with my insurance to get payments direct—Michele & Kenna, you ROCK!”
G Family, Inc.

September 4, 2015
“G Family Construction are nice people who are easy to talk to. They listened to my ideas and gave me some additional ideas which improved my plan. An additional window was installed and two French doors replaced old sliders and single door. Additional carpentry work for cabinets, etc. On the eⅹterior French drains were installed and a sump pump was installed in basement.”

What is a design-build firm?


Design-build firms take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors and construction companies, all under one roof. These full-service firms focus on a streamlined design-build process — from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction — in the hope of creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company. Because the entire project is happening within one company, Petaluma design-build firms are able to overlap the design and construction phases of the project, which often speeds up the project significantly. In addition, these firms work to minimize risks for the project owner through single-point responsibility contracts. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or architect to help create the exact look you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of design-build firms: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Photographers.

Before deciding on a residential design-and-build company in Petaluma, CA, think about what you want from your new home. Do you want a large kitchen for entertaining? Do you need several bedrooms for children and guests? Do you want a finished basement for extra space or storage? Look for Petaluma design-builders that specialize in the areas you're looking for. Budget is obviously a determining factor in the outcome of your project. To make sure you stay within your means, consider making a must-have list and a wish list. Gauge where the estimates are falling to determine which design-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective Petaluma design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the design-build construction business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • Are the workers employees or subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Who is your designer, and what are his or her qualifications?
  • Are your employees licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when cost exceeds the budget? What about changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
