Ventana Construction

I hired Ventana Construction for a remodel of the basement. The work included a new bathroom, laundry room, and utility room, and updating a staircase, office, and back door entrance. Everything in the remodel turned out beautifully! The quality of the construction was excellent.
Working with Ventana was a great experience. Anne and Clarence, the owners of Ventana, deeply care about their work and their clients. Anne is wonderful at communication and keeping the project moving. Clarence has a depth of experience in construction. Together, they make an excellent team.
I always felt I was in good hands throughout the project. The lead carpenter was on site every day to supervise any sub contractors such as the electrician and tile installer. Everything went according to schedule.
I highly recommend Ventana Construction! I am very happy that I choose them as the contractors for my remodel. I hope to work with them again when i update my upstairs bathroom.

Just spoke with the owners of Ventana on the phone. Very courteous and professional!

Absolutely puzzling!
I reached out to Ventana Construction because I read some positive reviews. After the initial phone tag– I was able to connect with Anne in what was an utterly bizarre phone call.
We have an 8×8 bathroom. It’s already plumbed, has electrical, and basically just needs updating.
Without actually seeing the area or what we hope to do– Anne quoted me 25−30K and told me that it would take five weeks to complete. She told me that the tile alone would take an entire week.
This is waaaaaaaay outside what all the other builders have quoted us after visiting and taking a look– which makes sense– since Anne hasn’t seen the space and had one 5 minute call before making her estimation.
She ended the call with «since you have other builders involved and our estimation doesn’t seem in line with the others– this probably isn’t the job for us». They aren’t even bothering to visit the site and see what the job entails…
Long story short– Ventana Construction sound like they really don’t need the business.
If you have a smaller job– best to look elsewhere.

Having Ventana Construction in our home for nearly 5 months on a major remodel was a good experience. So good, that the first 10 days after the finish I missed the crew. They are efficient; professional; great with details in every aspect; willing, agreeable & always finding ways to find extra space, leaving no dead spaces. No request was too small or bothersome to them during the process. This was the second time we hired Ventana & it was a very complicated remodel creating a livable space from a cellar. We are totally happy with Ventana & hope to hire them again for the main floor remodel.

We’ve done two fairly substantial renovation projects with Ventana, the most recent one wrapped up in late 2011. Our house is a 1929 Brick Tudor, with loads of potential — and lots of 1970s-​era «improvements» that needed correcting. Ventana helped us rethink our kitchen and first floor layout, turning dark and poky rooms into wonderful living space.
The best thing about Ventana is the quality of their work. They are absolutely meticulous at every step of the project. We’re just so pleased with how well they handled the smallest details.
Second best thing? Their customer service. Ventana knows a ton about construction. We, as homeowners, know almost nothing. I appreciated their patience and guidance as they taught us about how to think about different components of the project. I trust Clarence and Anne’s opnions without reservation.
Communication was great. Tracking of expenses was great. We had no surprises and no drama during the project. Ventana came in, said they were going to work at the highest quality standard, and then delivered beautifully on that promise.

WE hired Ventana Construction to do our house remodel. In all our remodeling experiences we have never been this satisfied. First of all, we were very impressed with the overall quality of workmanship. We’ve been living in our newly remodeled house since April and LOVE everything about it. We started the job in November and actually finished the job a few weeks AHEAD of schedule. The owners Clarence and Ann are committed to performing quality work, delivering excellent customer service, are extremely well-​organized and very detail oriented. For any subsequent house projects, I would only hire Ventana.

We hired Ventana to remodel our 1924 bungalow. It had been somewhat remodeled 10 years prior, but our master bathroom was still very small and did not match the era of the house (gray slate floors, granite counters and wall-​to-​wall mirrors).
Once we started with the bathroom, we realized that there were other aspects of the home that we wanted to change — so what started as a small bathroom remodel turned into an eight month project. We felt so comfortable and confident that Ventana would do an excellent job that we never hesitated to embark on this larger project.
From beginning to end, they provided excellent communication and solutions to issues that you often get when remodeling an older home. They were always willing to listen to our concerns and offer the most thoughtful solution.
Ventana has an excellent billing system. We always knew where we stood on the project, receipts were readily available and photos were posted weekly so show the progress of the project. There was never any doubts, or mystery as to what this would cost in the end.
Ventana has excellent relationships with their sub-​contractors which indicates their integrity as a general contractor. Their workers are top-​notch — they are amazing craftsmen and are wonderful to work with. At the end of our project, we felt like they had become a part of our family. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Additionally, they have contacted us on several occasions to make sure that everything was okay and that we were still happy with the project long after it was completed.
Once our primary home was complete we continued to use Ventana on a rental home that we had purchased. Once again, they delivered on time and within budget and gave us a beautiful home that were were proud to rent to a nice family.
Clearly the results speak for themselves, but we also immensely enjoyed the whole process of working with Ventana. We would recommended them wholeheartedly!

We called this company and set up an appointment with no problem. The coordinator showed up10 minutes late, (yes I am very prompt and believe your time is just as valuable as mine). We spoke for a while about the project, (which was a major kitchen & bath remodel that we estimated to be between $ 100,000-$ 200,000) The biggest issue we had is that we never received a follow-​up call, letter or email. i guess they are to busy to follow-​up. Not recommended.
