  • “Ghirardelli Construction transformed our home and made the process a pleasure!”

    The Ghirardelli Construction team completed a complete renovation of our gutted Eichler, and we were beyond impressed with their meticulous care and communication. The project was completed on time, and even a year later, Nick is available for advice on other projects. His personable nature and commitment to working within our budget made him a pleasure to work with.

  • “Working with Nick was a wonderful experience; he’s an excellent problem solver!”

    We had a gut remodel of two bathrooms in our Oakland home, and from the start, Nick was responsive and experienced in handling the challenges of remodeling an older home. He was meticulous with details and had a great aesthetic sense, which was helpful since we didn’t work with a designer. We feel fortunate to have found Ghirardelli Construction and look forward to working with them again.
