Founded in 1996, we are dedicated to creating value for our customers by providing creative design solutions, accurate fixed-price quotations, innovative project management, and exemplary service and warranty support. Our design team excels at finding ways to maximize the flow and function of customers’ existing homes and in designing additions and whole house remodels that enhance their beauty and value. Our job sizes range from a single bathroom remodel to whole house remodels. We use a combination of our own personnel and subcontractors, dependant on the job requirements, to assure a high quality result produced in the most cost-effective and timely manner. A Hammerschmidt Construction Project Manager or Job Foreman supervises the project at all times. As one of the area’s first Certified Green Builders, we employ green building principles to enhance the beauty, comfort and convenience of each home we remodel. We are also certified in Lead Abatement to assure all homes built before 1978 are tested for lead, and if lead is found, it is contained and removed to protect the home’s occupants and job site workers. Additionally, as a member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), John holds a certification in Kitchen and Bath Design and our Production Manager and Lead Carpenters hold Lead Carpenter Certifications. Our business memberships and associations include: Build it Green, Better Business Bureau, Los Altos Chamber of Commerce, and the Los Altos Village Association.

It was very easy to make an appointment with John, and he showed up on time. We walked through our house, and he talked about some of the ideas he had. We then talked for about an hour about what he would do with the layout and what changes he would make. He also asked me some very specific questions from a questionnaire (about materials, finishes, windows, etc.) so that he could start to get an idea of how much the job would cost.
Within a week's time, he had sent me an estimate for the job and the scope of the work that would be performed. I had a couple questions that I emailed to him. He got back to me after about a week, which I felt was a very slow turn-around.
Overall, I felt like this company was not a good fit for our job. He had very specific ideas about what he would do with our house, and I wanted someone we could work with, who would listen to our ideas and work with us in the design process. I also needed someone who could be very responsive on email.

We have a contract with him. We happened to know him through rotary. He is excellent. His name is John Hammerschmidt. We recommend him highly. He is honest. He listens to our ideas and gives ideas if asked. He doesn't force himself. Some contractors force themselves upon the contractee, but he doesn't. He figures real smart enough to know what we want but if we ask for help, we get it. He has been remarkable, can't say as much for this city, but he has been remarkable. So far, his sub contractors have been excellent.

They gave us the bid up-front, and it was right on the money. They were fabulous. They did a wonderful job, and I'm very impressed with them. We are having them come back out, and do our next remodeling job. It will cost 50,000. The kitchen was 5,000.
