Cervine Construction

Steven is an excellent carpenter and contractor. He was so thorough and careful, I really felt the my house was getting exactly the care it needed. He did a great job in understanding my style preferences and helped me out with some difficult decisions. We needed a lot of work from subcontractors as well and Steven managed everything very smoothly. I will definitely have Cervine Construction back to my house for the next project.

Steven Cervine has been our go-​to guy for our home remodeling projects. He is a delight to work with. He patiently allowed us to describe our vision for our home, and then he turned it into reality with his incredible building talents. He is also a skilled and pragmatic general contractor. He knows all the best vendors and specialists in the county, and manages them well. The projects we have done with Steven have made our dreams come true.

Steven does high quality work for a fair price. He was very clear about costs and how the work would be accomplished. We set a budget range as scope of repair work was not clear at outset. He finished on-​time and below that maximum – how often do you get to say that? Would hire again.

Can’t say enough good things about Steve Cervine. He was reliable, always showed up just when he said he would, did just what he said he was going to. As the project unfolded, it turned out that there was a lot more work to do than we had originally thought (he did a very careful inspection and found rot that would have threatened the integrity of the balcony and porch), so it turned out to be more expensive and to take much longer than either of us thought. But he was careful to show me everything that showed up and to explain it fully, so the costs made complete sense. What was better, even though the project took a couple of weeks longer than either of us thought at the beginning, he stuck with it. I was proud to be able to tell the new owners that the house had been restored to perfect health by the best guy in the business! Very knowledgable, very thorough, very detail oriented. No reservations at all about using him for any project in the future.

We are so pleased to recommend Steven Cervine Construction! Steven’s approach to our small project– a new front door and frame, repairs to exterior wooden beams and siding, and painting prep.– was thorough, deliberate, and creative. Small jobs can become big, painful, and expensive nightmares for owners of older homes when new problems become visible mid-​project. Steven is a clear communicator and adept problem solver who expertly sized up the initial work and presented us with creative and pragmatic fixes for the surprises. As a bonus, Steven’s painting sub-​contractor Gregory LeBaron Painting and crew were equally professional and a joy to work with.

Steven is awesome. We don’t hesitate to call him or to recommend him to our friends. He does great work, pays attention to the details, communicates clearly, provides detailed bids, shows up when expected, keeps a tidy job site, and has great integrity. Price is not everything you can find cheaper but by choosing Cervine Construction you will get a great value for your money.
You will be pleased.

I didn’t want cheap, I wanted a reasonable price, a dependable person, and excellent work. I found that with Steven Cervine. I live in Southern California but needed to get my rental home remodeled. How could I remodel my Aptos home while living in SoCal? I depended on Unilocal. My amazing painter, Gregory LeBaron of LeBaron Painting (thank you Unilocal!) recommended Steven Cervine. I got bids from three companies for the remodel job. Steven was not the lowest bid but he was the most thorough and the most detail oriented. He also ALWAYS responded my calls and my emails quickly. He got the job done and brought it in on time, within a short time table. Steven doesn’t know this but I had a neighbor take photos of the work inside my vacant home every few days after the workers had left. This was in the middle of a bath and kitchen remodel … how did the progress look? The construction zone was clean, organized, and the work looked super sharp all through the weeks of work. No tools and junk laying around, no unemptied trash. He runs a tight ship and he is there personally getting the job done. (I know because he would be at the site when I called. He texted pictures of the issues that needed decisions.) When we made changes, he wrote up change orders immediately for my review and kept track of the costs very clearly. There were no surprises as to costs as we went along. I am very pleased with the result of the work. When an issue came up after my new tenants moved in, Steven was over there the next day, adding a new fix to the problem, at some cost to him for new parts, and did not charge me. He is a man of integrity who stands behind his work. I give my highest recommendation.

We’ve been doing work for Cervine Construction for about 15 years now. He is a top notch contractors. Steven is hands on, detailed oriented, and a great communicator. His calm demeanor and attention to detail keeps the job running smoothly. His work being top notch helps me as a subcontractor because great groundwork has been laid before we even get there. If you hire Cervine Construction, you will not be disappointed — 5 STARS!
