I've worked with many contractors in Santa Cruz County over the years and testorff is the best. very few outfits can put together large highly skilled crews to complete large projects in a timely manner. pete is easy to work with and even though weve driven him a bit crazy with excessive change orders, hes kept everything affordable and top notch read more

I would highly recommend Testorff Construction for any building efforts. We worked with Testorff on our wildfire rebuild, and, to say the least, it was an unusual and complicated build. The Testorff worked with us side-by-side, as part of our team. They were excellent at coming up with innovations that helped improve our design, and creative solutions whenever we ran into issues. Their teams were professional, and polite. And, the project manager, Jeff Swain, and the back office work closely with me to ensure we tracked to our budget -- no surprises. We are so grateful for Testorff's care to make sure our new house felt like home. In fact, when we ran into a couple of issues during the construction, Testorff was quick to resolve issues that were their responsibility. Again, I would highly recommend them for their management, skills and integrity. read more

Extremely Knowledgeable and Professional in every way! Very pleased and will call again! Thank-you again for everything! read more

Peter and his crew are absolutely amazing. Extremely professional, on time( they actually finished our deck ahead of schedule!) very high quality work. The guys worked hard, and built the most beautiful deck I have seen. All the detail is what really stands out, from sanding every board so we can walk barefoot, to the trim pieces. It's better than we could have imagined. Our deck is the best part of our house now. Can't thank him and his crew enough! We will definitely be using Testorff again! read more

Testorff Construction - Our beautiful deck. - General Contractors Near Me - Aptos, California

HUGE thanks to Testorff and specifically, Dustin and his crew for their work on our condo. We've done a few remodel projects in the past few years and Dustin was the best project manager that we've dealt with by far. Issues were addressed quickly and progress was communicated clearly. The quality and detail of the work is fantastic - things were fixed the right way, not necessarily the easy way. Our place not only looks great, but we feel comforted that the work has also made it safer for our family. read more

We recently found out that our shower was leaking because the linoleum lifted. My husband, Marty called 2 contractors who we knew were good. They both arrived and wrote us an estimate. (We didn't think that Pete Testorff's company did small stuff.) (Have you seen the stuff this guy does???... Bantam, Westside Santa Cruz estate type homes, etc.?) (Gorgeous) He happened to be bidding the jobs and came the "same" day, which in itself is a miracle. He had a total "positive" "can-do" vibe. Marty was sold. We were excited to have Pete Testorff say yes to the job. He even came in cheaper than our other favorite contractor. Everyone who worked on the job from the start to finish was excellent and also said good things about Mr. Testorff. Pete made some suggestions, i.e. tile and we went with the "experts" opinion and we are glad we did. Thanks Pete for coming to our assistance. You did a great job. P.S. Go with Pete's suggestions, because he is up on all the cool and modern looks. read more

Jeff Swain and the team at Testorff are the best. They have been there for us when things crop up unexpectedly and they have been there for us for big projects like a brand new gas fireplace or a completely redesigned fence on our property. They bring creativity, attention to detail and amazing craftsmanship to everything they do - whether it's a mundane fix or a true design project. We don't know what we'd do without them. read more

Testorff Construction performed an extensive remodel and expansion of our home. They were extremely professional and did excellent work. The project was complicated due to the fact that my wife and I both work at home. Testorff Construction went out of their way to minimize impacts to us throughout the project. When we have guests, we always receive compliments on our home (thanks to Testorff Construction)! The choreography of subcontractors was excellent and all work passed City inspections with flying colors. I highly recommend using Testorff Construction. read more

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE TESTORFF CONSTRUCTION!!! If you are looking for the hardest working crew, most reliable company, and 5-star service throughout your project, you need to call them. Pete and his crew built our dream Mountain Home in the Santa Cruz Mountains years ago and recently, we had the need to work with them once again. I wouldn't call anyone else!!! Again, we were so impressed by Pete's promptness and commitment to get my project done in such a short timeframe that I can't thank him enough. His crews work is professional and of the highest quality and skill. If you are in the need for a contractor for your next project, large or small, call Testorff Construction. I have been working with them for over 15 years. You won't be disappointed. They will make your home beautiful with many memories to share for a very long time. read more

I wrote a negative review back in 8/10/2016 because of my experience with a former employee name Chris Barrera. Today 04/13/2017 I received a phone call from Testorff manager who informed me that they did let go of Chris Barrera and she was very pleasant, very professional and apologetic to the rudeness I received from Chris Barrera. The reason of 4 stars vs. 5 stars is because it took the company 8 month to contact me. I have never yet used Testorff Construction, I might now that Chris is gone, I don't want to put a negative stamp on the whole company since I didn't had a chance to deal with anyone else except that employee. Anyway, the reason for my review today is that I wanted to relate my pleasant conversation with the manager today and I wanted everyone to know that my review back in August 2016 was specifically bad review of Chris Barrera and not Testorff Construction company. read more

Testorff Construction was the builder for our west side restaurant Bantam. We could not be more satisfied with the work they did, from the bidding process to the opening of our business their work was excellent. They took an empty shell from a 1940's industrial building and transformed it into a beautiful, full service restaurant. They came in on time and on budget, an amazing feat for a peculiar project that was not a walk in the park. I felt very will taken care of, the level of communication was superb and there was always forward momentum. I whole heartedly recommend Pete and his crew for any project and I will use them again for my next one. Ben read more

We just completed our second project with Pete and the crew at Testorff Construction. There were no surprises with timing or budget. The project was managed efficiently and professionally for the duration. If you are looking for solid, high quality construction, then give Pete a call. Without hesitation, we recommend Testorff Construction for any and all building needs. read more

WOW, this company does some pretty amazing work! We just used them on a residential remodel and we couldn't be happier. Very honest and reliable company to work with. Thanks Testorff crew, you guys rock. read more

We hired Testorff Construction to do a massive renovation of our 1970's California bungalow in Aptos a few years back, and the results were spectacular. It was great to work with Pete and his team, especially our project manager, Jeff. There was not one time during the entire 10-month project where workers were pulled from our job to work on something else, and the job was completed within about two weeks of the original estimate. We're pretty picky and very detail-oriented, and the Testorff team acted like true partners as we worked through the myriad issues that will come up in such a major project. We really wanted to retain the spirit of the original house, while marrying this up with a contemporary look, and the Testorff team took this to heart. They do high quality work and they were great problem solvers. They understood our goals and really grasped the spirit of what we were trying to accomplish; in many cases, Pete and his guys even offered design suggestions that were in line with our goals to help bridge the gaps between the architect's plans, the realities of construction and building codes, and our personal design aesthetic. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

my experience was 5 star. on time and on budget. highly recommended.
