Farrar Construction & Design

We started our project in June 2021. Patrick was very professional and attentive throughout the entire project; offered many constructive suggestions and demonstrated a keen design perspective to our liking. He worked independently and alongside subcontractors to ensure steady progress and completion on schedule. Patrick was always available anytime to answer our questions concerning the total house remodel project. He responded quickly to our text and telephone messages resolving issues that arose. Even after completion, he is still readily available to answer our questions. We are so happy with his work, knowledge and expertise. We would not hesitate to hire him again in the future and we would highly recommend him to others.

My husband and I purchased a 1880 cottage in Massachusetts that Patrick Farrar renovated for us. All walls were taken down to the studs with exception of one bedroom and bathroom. Patrick reinforced the walls, insulated them and installed shiplap throughout our home. He installed bathroom fixtures, new flooring on the enclosed porch, the dining area, bedroom, and bathroom. He installed two windows in our living room and one new window in our kitchen. He also replaced the front, back, and interior doors with French doors. He installed double French doors from our dining area to our enclosed porch for entertaining purposes. Patrick put in a cathedral ceiling in our upstairs bedroom. In 2019 he replaced our bulkhead with a guard house entrance to our basement with two French doors, one at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom. Our basement now has easy exterior door access and light. Whatever project Patrick has completed for us, he has completed on time and on budget. Whatever creative thoughts I expressed to him, he went forth and created them. My home truly is an expression of my lifestyle, put into life by Patrick. I was and am in awe of his workmanship and attention to detail. He worked with me every step of the process through completion, looking out for my best interest. Patrick is a gifted man who had my vision in mind. We were blessed to find such a competent, creative, team player. We highly recommend Patrick Farrar.

John Patrick Farrar designed and built a new kitchen and laundry room for me. He listened well to what I wanted and designed a better layout than I envisioned. His work is impeccable, he's easy to work with, keeps the work area picked up and clean. John Patrick is a man of his word. He shows up on time, he's a hard worker and easy to have around. I wish he were still in the northeast. I'd hire him in a nanosecond.

We were absolutely thrilled with the work Patrick did in our Condo. All of our needs were met on time and within the estimated budget. He has a great eye for detail and the quality of his work is superb. We feel very lucky to have worked with him and would highly recommend his services. He also was able to meet specific timelines to pass and oversee city inspections which was incredibly helpful as we were unable to be present during the renovation. A trustworthy true professional. We couldn’t be more pleased and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Patrick was the key to making the rustic 1870's cottage I bought liveable! With his eye for design and superb craftsmanship he transformed the grubby, unsightly, old kitchen and bathroom. Now these spaces are attractive and functional, but still in keeping with the character of the cottage. The project was challenging because of the uneven original construction and age of the building but his knowledge and skill were more than equal to the task. I know he has experience with much larger projects both in old and modern remodeling and construction, but he was attentive to listening to what I wanted and needed; providing cheerful re-assurance to all my questions during the process.

Patrick from Farrar Construction & Design provided design inspiration as well as beautiful and quality construction choices. His tireless willingness to provide customer satisfaction exceeded expectations as well as industry standards. Delightfully, all contractual agreements were completed on time and within agreed costs and guidelines. Mr. Farrar is truly a gifted designer as well as a skilled and knowledgeable contractor that you will certainly want to consider.

Patrick did an awesome job remodeling my Santa Barbara condo. It was a full restart of the 2br/2ba unit, including kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, etc. Not only did he delivery good quality work on-time, but he also helped with some great ideas for reconfiguring the space. I’d recommend him and look forward to working with him in the future.

I had Farrar construction do renovation work on my 1873 cottage. He added a screened in porch that is the envy of all my neighbors. Patrick is a very talented carpenter with a eye for design. The work done on my cottage and others in Asbury Grove has elevated the community to a new level. We have projects waiting for his return.

Patrick was invaluable in the total renovation of a historic cottage. From design and planning, to tearing away the old additions and creating new, functional space that blended with the antique structure while giving us a supremely livable and enjoyable home. Work quality was superb, which we expected having seen other projects, but we particularly appreciated working with his creative input and overall support of the project as we went through all the hoops necessary - permits, inspections and the like.

We had purchased a 1975 ranch in Palm Springs that was in desperate need of a remodel. Since our main residence was 2000 miles away, we were very concerned about how to find a trustworthy, capable contractor who could complete the work with limited supervision and direction. Obviously, cost was also part of the concern. Farrar Construction was one of the contractors recommended by our realtor. After doing online research and talking to Patrick on the phone, we decided to hire Patrick for this large project. What a great decision. I can't possibly recommend anyone higher than I would recommend Patrick. When we contracted Patrick, we had no idea that he was not only an amazing contractor, but also has an amazing design sense. There was no concern that the contractor and designer would disagree...because Patrick did both! Patrick did a great job of providing us options that addressed our design, functional and budget needs. He matched our passion for the project, and displayed an infectious enthusiasm for creating the perfect house for us. When you hire Patrick, you will get a contractor who does a lot of the work himself, and if he subs it out, he is there to supervise the other contractors. He will pay attention to every detail and won't rest until he provides a solution that not only looks great, but also functions well. I have worked with many contractors before, and I have never had this awesome of an experience. His work ethic is amazing, his design sense is spot on, and he will deliver on time and on budget. Just as importantly...he is a great person to work with.

Patrick did a kitchen remodel in a tiny condo. He had very cramped space in which to work but took it on with a smiling face. He measured, thought for no more than a few seconds and then jumped into creative visualization of what he could get in the space. He could see a practical solution almost instantly. There was no sales talk, no ifs to buts just sheer delight in getting to work and creating a masterpiece. He knew the products, their price, was able to give is a realistic quote within a couple days, with a time frame for getting the job done. We gave him a key left town for a whole 6 months, communicated via email, paid our bills, received the new keys by mail. Not a complaint, a sigh or a problem did he find or present to us, just sheer dedication a and joy in his creation and boy, did we get a delight when we returned and turned the new key in the door. The practical use if the space, the amount of stuff he got in and the color and design are a marvel. There is no one who can beat Patrick and he has such pleasant and easy to work with personality. Thanks Patrick. Mollie Wilmot Palm Springs

Patrick Farrar is an amazing fellow, he combines architectural, creative design and contracting skills in one place, and is a pleasure to work with, having great infectious enthusiasm for a project - big or small. He transformed a pokey corner mid 50's kitchen in our small condo into a modern vibrant space, with four times the storage, a fridge twice the size, and a dish washer that didn't previously exist. He did all this while we were absent, and we covered the inevitable issues arising by email and attached photographs when necessary. The remodel came in on budget, and dramatically more appealing that we had envisaged. Having one person with all round skills is absolutely the way to go for a small or medium size project. Probably saves us several $1,000's.

Patrick Farrar is exceptionally creative and razor-focussed when adhering to budgeted time and costs. In addition to his hands-on experience and ability to perform most of the different tasks within a job, he consistently works with sub-contractors of a similar work ethic and integrity. Patrick is good at communicating throughout the job, whether it's simple updates or changes that need to be made. Patrick has an inherent talent to take average-quality finishes and products and match them with better-quality products to get a high-end look for the best value possible. I have gotten maximum bang-for-my-buck when using Patrick Farrar and I've never been disappointed.

Farrar Construction was the lead contractor on a complete renovation of a 1750 sq ft condominium in Palm Springs, CA.

Patrick Farrar was my contractor for an extensive kitchen remodel, along with adding recessed lighting through the dining and living area. Always willing to go the extra mile to achieve the best possible result.

Patrick Farrar was a delight to work with - very knowledgeable, experienced and full of great design ideas, suggestions and solutions! His positive attitude and pleasant, non-confrontational personality enabled him to communicate with clarity and successfully work well with others to complete the job on time. We are extremely happy with the workmanship performed and would definitely hire Farrar Construction & Design on future projects.

When i was doing a complete remodel of my home i had hired 2 contractors before finally hiring Patrick Farrar to come in and take over and correct all mistakes from the previous two. The outcome was a beautiful job, Great work, full of integrity, and the most honest guy. The work was done in a timely matter with the hosue being taken all the way down to the studs with new electrical and plumbing.... My Home turned out to be a showplace. That was 8 years ago and today i am happy to say that Patrick is nearing completion of a total remodel of my new home which is looking beautiful.

Farrar Construction & Design was highly recommended to us so we hired him to be the general contractor for our kitchen remodel. He was very hands-on throughout the entire project from the initial design all the way through to the finishing touches. He has an great eye for design, creating both a beautiful and functional space. He supervised the project closely and went above and beyond what was expected of him. We would definitely recommend Farrar Construction to anyone looking to remodel any part of their home.

It's been a decade now since I hired Patrick and his team to build out my gallery space in Palm Springs, Ca. I had a very specific concept and plan, which they executed beautifully despite challenges because of the old building that my gallery occupies. They also helped me stay within budget and work around unexpected issues that arose. Patrick was professional in all his dealings with me, and he helped me get it all completed in a timely manner. I've also had him work on other remodeling projects at my home, and I have always enjoyed dealing with him and been quite happy with the results. I will be using his expertise again soon.
