We worked with Steve on our retirement home in Petaluma. From the first meeting with Steve we knew…read morewe had selected the architect that was perfect for us. Before our first meeting he had already visited our house site and had some great ideas. Steve really listened to us regarding our wants/needs for our new home. Beyond designing the house, Steve worked with us on landscape design and paid particular attention to the kitchen and bathrooms. He not only was our architect but also our project manager, working with several different engineers and vendors to get us to the permit process. Once the plans were submitted to the city of Petaluma, Steve handled all interaction with them through to getting our permits. In addition, to all of this - Steve worked hard to help us find the right builder for our project. Building a home from the ground up is not an easy task and our project was complex because the lot is on a slope. Steve had so many good ideas and was always available for questions. If we ever built again, we would definitely use Steve as our architect.

I called Steve to talk about a project and we met at his studio. He started drawing design sketches…read moreon the spot with his magic marker! I knew right away that I was going to hire him to provide Architectural and design drawings/plans for my tenant improvement project in Petaluma. He was very professional and listened to my needs. I love the designs and the plans passed through the City planning and building dept. smoothly, which can sometimes be a hassle but Steve gracefully navigated the red tape. I highly recommend Steve Charlip Architecture!

I recently bought a home in Sonoma that had a Cornwall and needed to have piers put in where some…read moreplumbing work had been done. I contacted the engineering group at MKM and was put in contact with Nick Stuart. Nick came out and did a site visit and then worked with a designer to work on a voluntary repair plan to better support my foundation and wall. The experience while working with him was great. He was very responsive, kept to a schedule and came in at the budgeted amount forecasted for the work. He even did above and beyond items, dropping copy of plans off to me while I was at the permit office! I would absolutely recommend them in the future and plan to work with them again on a second unit in the upcoming months. They are extremely professional, have a great work ethic and do a great job!

If you're replacing your tub w/a shower, forget the "one-day" scams on TV. I got bids from two of…read morethose along with two other local bids and MCD beat them all. Oh, and MCD's bid included building a back porch for that price! They completed everything in a week because they swarmed us with workers who worked on both projects concurrently. And both projects are finished to a high quality - the porch looks stout enough to land a helicopter on! Anthony, Meagan, and Dan were a pleasure to work with. We had a supplier problem that could have delayed the shower project for a month. Instead, they found a work-around and the start time was only delayed a week. Two thumbs up for MCD because that's all the thumbs I got!

The scope was extensive, including entirely new HVAC, plumbing, and electrical throughout and we are thrilled with the results. As someone who works with many contractors professionally, I was particularly impressed by Anthony's "open-book" transparency and honesty. He was incredibly patient and collaborative with high-level finishing details, consistently working to meet our exacting expectations. If you want a builder who prioritizes integrity and craftsmanship, I highly recommend MCD. Thank you, Anthony!

Travis held my hand through every decision, was always available to answer my questions, was very honest and hard-working. We are so thrilled with how it turned out and we will be using him and his team for more projects in the future. His guys, Ryan, Jaime, & everyone else did a fantastic job. Every person who walked into my home, has worked with Travis for the last 10 to 20 years. That made me very trusting of who was in my home when I was there and when I wasn't there. It is very challenging to find a trustworthy contractor who is not only good at communicating, but is also very good at their job. Thank you, Travis and team!

We would highly recommend Travis Carter and his crew for any remodel projects - they were courteous…read morewith us and our home and came in on time/on budget and completely over-delivered on the final project. We can't believe this is our house! We've had a couple of friends hire him now to do their projects! Travis walked into our patched-together 50 year old house and understood our vision for opening up the floor plan and letting more light in. He worked within our budget to draw up a quote that met our vision, while also recommending items that could easily be isolated and saved for a later project date without having to re-do any of this initial work (like refacing the fireplace, re-doing the back patio). He was patient and helpful through the architect and permitting phase and had great recommendations for local cabinet, tile and plumbing stores that allowed us to get great quality finishes within our budget. Every sub-contractor that he brought in for specialized pieces like our master shower tile, shower glass, flooring and insulation were friendly and did absolutely top of the line work. He is also very clever at figuring out solutions to curveballs that our house threw and could take our crazy Pinterest pictures and piece them together to build custom solutions like the bench in the master shower. Overall our project included a major overhaul and upgrade to our electrical panel / electrical service to the street, major plumbing upgrades, new windows, a master bathroom addition and a complete interior paint/flooring refresh and remodel including a complete kitchen remodel (with removing load bearing walls to create an open concept) and hall bath remodel. Our house of 16 years is now a sturdy, safe home we can spend the next 50 years in - Travis didn't cut any corners and understood that this needs to be our dream home that will last "generations" as he put it. He's an honest guy with old fashioned values and you just won't find a better team to take on your project.
