My wife and I were very fortunate to work with John Fuchs for the complete remodel of our two-story…read moreAptos home. John, Carrey, Luke, Scott, and Kirk are true professionals dedicated to delivering the highest quality work, resulting in outstanding results that we love. Our project involved a comprehensive remodel, taking the house down to the studs, enlarging the structure which required foundation work, installing new plumbing and electrical systems, and renovating bathrooms and kitchens. We also replaced two second-floor decks and upgraded the exterior from wood siding to stucco. From start to finish, John and Carrey Ward were highly engaged in every aspect and decision of our eight-month remodel. John's extensive experience in every phase of the project provided us with valuable insights, helping us make better decisions throughout the process. Carrey excellently managed the project, coordinating various subcontractors (electrical, stucco, drywall, plumbing) with minimal delays and ensuring materials were ordered and delivered on time. While the subcontractors employed by John were generally excellent, we did encounter issues with the plumber assigned to our project. However, John promptly addressed this and had the plumbing company correct any issues to our complete satisfaction. While John might not be the cheapest option, you get what you pay for--a true "A team" dedicated to doing the best work to your complete satisfaction. In conclusion, we highly recommend John Fuchs Properties: Construction + Real Estate for both new construction and remodeling projects. John and his team take pride in their work, are easy to work with, and are committed to the highest quality standards. They won't consider the job done until you are completely happy with the outcome.

We were a bit nervous after we closed on our beachfront 3 level townhome in La Selva. The location…read moreis stunning yet tricky and the house needed a bunch of work, including structural changes including reframing the staircase, opening up the main level wall to ocean. We initially started working with another design build firm who provided a comprehensive yet expensive plan. While receiving bids from different companies, John Fuchs and company stood out in terms of their thoroughness, clarity in communication and exhibited an understanding what we were really hoping to have this property look like. Once underway, the project was a smooth sailing journey. Albeit involved, including multiple permit revisions with the city and coastal commission, John just took them in his stride and worked through them systematically. He just bears that "not a problem" attitude and carries on his work and the results speak for themselves. John also suggested a few additions along the way and helped with planning and permitting those and they turned out fantastic. Along the way John was a supportive guide, helping us make decisions on critical questions that allowed us to not compromise on the desired outcome and yet did not blow up our budget substantially. The workmanship and quality of this company's work is top-tier. Pricing is competetive and fit and finish is remarkable. The ease with which changes to plans were accommodated is commendable and the final product emerged to be simply stunning. The accounting and communication through the project was regular, transparent and precise. John and team were also very patient as we slowly meandered our way picking finishes and appliances including some crazy color requests and door finishes. Overall it was a fun, creative and stress free experience to work with him and his team. If you are looking to do a project in the Santa Cruz area, John Fuchs Construction is our unequivocal recommendation as your buiding contractor, you won't regret it!

I cannot recommend Ivan highly enough. We just completed an addition…read moreto our house in San Jose, which added around 300 sq ft, included a new bathroom and had to tie into the existing structure of our house. We met with several general contractors and got several bids for the project and ended up choosing Ivan. There is a number of examples of why I would recommend Ivan if you are doing a larger project: 1. He is reasonable about budget, he gave us a very reasonable bid and tried his best to stick to that bid as much as possible. Almost all overages in the bid were of my choosing to use different materials or changes to the design throughout it. Ivan always let me know how much more something was going to be and was always reasonable if I asked for more bids from subcontractors to try to get a better price. He is never willing to sacrifice quality for the price, but will actively work on your behalf to get quotes down to where they should be and deny out subcontractors based on price. We would not have been able to complete the project in the price range many people gave us. An example were, one of his framers came in at a higher price than what he bid us, Ivan worked hard to find a different framer that he felt would do the job correctly and he could trust but was back closer to the big price. 2. He is extremely knowledgable about all parts of construction. He is easily able to answer ideas, come up with creative suggestions. His companies name is not a joke, he is EXTREMELY precise. So much that he worries about quality and things being perfect to a point that he would tell me he is changing something or having someone redo something because it wasn't up to his standards when I didn't even notice there was a problem when I saw it. He is able to work with his subcontractors and correct a situation when something is not done right. He holds them accountable and himself accountable for any problems and gets them fixed. Another example of his precision is this was a large permitted project where we added square footage, it was inspected multiple times throughout the project, not a single inspection didn't pass and even the inspectors commented on the quality of his work. In fact I have had multiple see what he has don't and comment on the quality of his work. He is also extremely clean and worked around our schedule which is nice since we had to camp in the living room while our master bedroom was being redone. 3. He is straightforward and an all around nice person to work with and deal with. He is friendly and considerate, this is a great quality to have when you are working with someone over months. 4. He took into consideration our needs out of the project. We wanted things like soundproofing, he made it happen, we wanted certain features of the bathroom, he made it happen. We wanted a modern look, he made it happen. He did everything is a extremely fast paced timeline and I never felt like we were behind schedule, it always felt as if the project was moving along well. In the end the project turned out much better than we had actually imagined and we still marvel at how great it is. When you are spending a good deal of money you fear that if might not be worth it, so it is refreshing to look at it at the end and be overly happy with how it turned out and not worry at all if you made the right decision. I don't know if we would be in the same situation without coming across Ivan, and I can't recommend him highly enough. I have worked with several general contractors before in the past and I have not had as good of an experience as with Ivan, there is so many more remodeling projects I would like to bring him back for when I have the money to do so. Thanks for everything!

We have…read moreheard horror stories from friends about remodels with different general contractors - that did not happen with Ivan! My husband and I had an idea of the general vibe we wanted for our kitchen/living room but Ivan made it happen better than we could have imagined! He helped guide us with products and realistic choices, all while keeping in mind the style we wanted for our home. He communicated with us daily, made sure we were completely aware of what was going on with the project and where are budget was with our remodel. He would communicate where we could save money and where we could splurge. He let us know where we would really see the difference and where it wouldn't matter as much. He kept to the timeline he gave us - he worked miracles to get the job done on time and get us out of our guest bedroom (make shift kitchen during the remodel) - he was a life saver! We feel so lucky to have had such a great experience with our kitchen remodel - we walk down to our kitchen every day and can not believe it is our house - Ivan was amazing and we will definitely ask him to do more work on our house!

Daniel Sr. and his son Daniel, were at my house within two days of my initial phone contact to evaluate the job. They provided me a proposal within days. I subsequently enlarged the scope of the project, and they made several more visits over the next two weeks. The project consisted of two stamped concrete patios, two stamped concrete aprons, a stamped concrete walkway, 135' of fence footing, and one propane tank pad. Once finalized a start date was scheduled. Though there was a slight delay, they kept me apprised of the situation, and the work commenced as rescheduled. I was particularly impressed with their work as they formed the pour. It's that time when a trade skill and art meet. For example, the two Daniels formed and reformed a walkway ramp with stairs several times over the course of a day before they were satisfied, transforming the mundane to aesthetically pleasing. They were attentive to my concerns regarding drainage and slope, and provided suggestions as work proceeded. At all times during the project, they sought approval as various forms were set in the yard. The core crew are all family members which I believe instills pride in their work. The stamped concrete came out great, and they returned after a month and some sunshine to seal the concrete. In addition to the quality work it was gratifying to do business with a local business.
