-Accommodating: Changed things with minimal fuss to meet new design direction.-Experienced: Did a major remodel based on preliminary architectural concept drawings when we were dropped by an architect mid-design. He guided us through various design decisions and put us in touch with the appropriate experts to make all the interior design decisions (lightning, bathroom layout, etc).- Attention to detail: Especially with wood work (cabinets, trim, roofing, etc) The principal is a master carpenter, and does that detail work himself.- Very easy to work with. A pleasure to have around. We?re almost sorry to see him leave at end of project, but thrilled to have our space transformed!- Highest Integrity. Absorbed the cost of an ?error\" without complaint, and insisted on doing the correction even though we thought we could live with it.

We talked about likes, dislikes; I showed off some of the other projects/things I have ongoing to give her a sense of my style. She came back with a full set of drawings, samples, options and was very good about rolling with the punches when something wasn't to my liking. Overall, we were both aiming at about an 85-90% hit rate -- that is, I should find agree with her suggestions or choices about 85% of the time. She never tried to hold me to something I didn't like, unless there was a fundamental reason (space, practicality) that I should consider -- and she left it at that -- "you might want to consider"....never pushy. We're on to the next phase: me thinking it over, living with mock ups to see if I like the feel of the space, and a few edits to the drawings. So far, so good. She has a great color sense, and very liveable design.

Eric was very punctual and professional, and was the only one of the contractors who offered a drawn-up plan with the quote. I ended up going with another contractor's design because it gave me more of the flat space at the bottom of the wall that I wanted for my dogs, but I would not...

"Frederick Scafani, the owner of FSP General Contractors, has done a terrible job with our kitchen tile flooring — the tiles are chipped, lippage is large, and all the grout is cracking and coming out. He has taken an illegal amount of deposit ($3000 when $1000 is the legal limit in CA) and has not fixed his work or returned our deposit. He has not responded to phone or emails. There were many other things that went wrong, including him not tapping water pipes and flooding the kitchen and hallway, with water leaking down to the floor below, but I’ll focus this review specifically on tile. I would highly advise to steer clear of Fred. Tile installation and grout: $5,840 Tiles + delivery: $1,295.86"

FAQs for residential design projects in Olympic Valley, CA
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
