Nick Hovick - Hovick Design and Construction

Did the work as advertised

I had multiple doors in the house that did not seal properly and were letting cold air in. Upon looking at my problem, they were able to offer me a solution at a reasonable price. It was important to me that for this particular item it was done in the highest quality way possible. In our discussions we decided to make some changes which caused an increase in materials and time. I felt that they did a good job communicating how my additional demands might influence the cost. Like many homeowners, you are concerned with what things will cost. I feel that they responded to my desire for the outcome to look as if the doors were brand new and were able to share with me the additional time and materials that would take.

Great!

We purchased a home that Hovick Design had recently remodeled. We were so impressed by the quality of the work and now enjoy living in our new home. After moving in, we had Hovick Design complete some further custom work - cabinetry, a window, screen doors etc. After that we had Hovick Design design and build a pergola room outside our bedroom. All the work was top rate and high quality. I enjoyed working with Nick and his crew and totally recommend the company.

Hovick Designs was very friendly and listen to what I wanted in my business. I needed to add a reception desk. Nick sat down and in detail went over what I was looking for and when I needed it done. Everything was on point! He takes pride in his work and I have received nothing but compliments. The desk is amazing and I tell everyone who designed it. You need something done, I highly recommend Nick and his business Hovick Designs. I have other projects in the future that I will be having him create. Thank you!

I had a relatively small job using my own design choices (I'm good at this) and Nick was happy to work with me. He was great to work with and his team and sub-contractors did a great job. I got new countertops in the kitchen and two baths, new sinks & faucets, new gas cooktop and a totally new shower. Nick and his people really listened to me, paid attention to details, and routinely aksing how I wanted something done. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thanks Nick!

My wife and I would highly recommend Hovick Design for any remodeling project. He is a consummate professional with a discriminating eye for quality design, materials, and workmanship. His crew, especially his foreman, Jim Le Blanc, were also an impressive lot. They never took shortcuts or shirked their work or responsibilities. They were also very respectful and considerate of our privacy. Our house was beset with decades of neglect compounded with previous shoddy design, materials, and workmanship that was starting to render the residence non-habitable and failing to adequately meet the increasing needs of a debilitated elderly parent, who is receiving constant care. Over the course of many months, Nick was able to magically transform a rather dreadful and inadequate, shabby hovel into a pleasant, homey abode full of endearing charm. The transformation was astonishing, considering the very poor condition of the residence that were beginning to get increasingly dire with each passing month. But Nick rode to the rescue. We especially liked the proposals he made to resolve the many shortcomings of the residence. And not once did Nick ever sacrifice quality as he worked with us to keep the project within budget. Naturally, when a contractor tackles a project to remake an old residence bereft of any compliance with the standard building codes for habitability, he's going to uncover a host of problems - a can of worms is a more apt description as we were to discover about our quirky old home. Whenever this would happen, Nick would always present us with several low cost solutions/options without sacrificing quality. Because of the continuous methodical and conscience consultation, that he aptly demonstrated to us throughout the entire process, to maximize the renovation as originally budgeted, we were able to address the many other critical shortcomings of the residence that we initially did not think was possible. The result was a metamorphosis nothing short of a miracle. Not only is the house meeting the essential building codes required for a habitable residence, but it also meets the critical needs of an elderly parent that needs constant supervision and care. But the house is more than a serviceable domicile redesigned for a more efficient utilitarian function. It's become a comfortable, inviting home that warmly welcomes anyone lucky enough to stride across it's humble threshold. Thank you, Nick, and may God bless you and your lovely new wife, Katy.

We are still working on remodeling, my mother's house.

Nick spent many hours discussing our project with us and working with us to visualize what we wanted. .Nick worked w/us on ordering the appliances and the start of work to meet our schedule. The crew was quality conscious and did a great job in the time frame we agreed upon. The crew kept us involved in the day to day work to make sure we got what we wanted. The attention to detail was great as with any required adjustments so that everything went as planned. They would clean up after themselves which made living in a small home much easier. Highly recommend Nick and his team!

Hovick Design did a full remodel of my kitchen and bath. They also rebuilt my laundry room and drywalled one of my bedrooms. The house is 100 years old but this did not even phase them. The entire job went very well from design and permitting to end of construction. The great experiance of Nick and his staff really showed. I am very satisfied with the end result. If you are looking for a high-end professional at a competitive price, look to Holvick Design in the Central Coast area of California.

It was a pleasure to work with Nick on our project. It was a complete kitchen remodel. We love how he designed our cabinetry and the layout to get the most out of the space. He listened to our ideas and helped us through the entire project. When we had a question he was always available which was great since there is always homeowner anxieties. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the finished project and the entire experience. Thank you Nick Hovick!

Very friendly and professional. In addition to kitchen work, major work included a glass sliding door installation in place of a window and a redwood deck outside the new door. Nick is a great guy to work with.

He is honest and dedicated to his work.

He is capable and creative in figuring out design challenges, preparation and finish work including the many different skills involved in remodeling and major renovation.

Not only a good builder but a real artist

When my original contractor had a heart attack and landed in the hospital, Mr. Hovick was able to come in, take over the job, and basically read the original contractor's mind in order to finish the project, which had left much suspended in mid-air. Along with finishing a deck with surround glass windscreen, he completed the sunroom and outfitted it with custom shelving and wood flooring. He also finished the garage interior with sheetrock and cedar-shingled the exterior facade of my house, upgrading its appearance from plain rancher to elegant Arts & Crafts. He installed and custom framed a gorgeous new front door and perhaps best of all, he left everything immaculate when the jobs were finished. He was diligent in tactfully dealing with a variety of "inspectors" from the county who made occasional required visits to the project, being particularly tactful with one individual known for his refractory approach. All's well that ends well and the job is beautiful.

I received a beautiful custom cabinet built and installed as part of a complete bathroom remodel.

Mr. Hovick accomplished an entire rebuild of a master bathroom excluding the shower, on very short notice and in very good time indeed - about two weeks. All of this without our being able to be present in the house, either. An excellent job, displaying both his construction experience and his design capabilities.
