Carly Rose

As designers, collaboration and communication are everything and this team is excellent on both fronts. We've had the opportunity to work with North Bay Construction on more than one project. They're organized, responsive, and thoughtful in the field, and a solutions-oriented mindset. They coordinate well with our team and trades, maintained a clean and efficient site, and delivered high-quality work. I’d absolutely partner with them again and recommend them without hesitation.

John and his team were a dream to work with! We had a more complex project and they stepped in on relatively short notice to fit us into their schedule. Throughout the project, John was reliable and transparent. If he said he was going to do something (e.g. meet us, schedule the plumber, talk to the city, etc.) it always happened. We had some minor delays (normal for most projects) and John always took accountability for these situations, bringing well-considered solutions and go-forward plans. Like most homeowners, we don’t do major renovations repeatedly in our lives and have heard so many horror stories — being able to work with a team that is professional and trustworthy, with a high bar for quality gave us the peace of mind to know we were in good hands for one of the largest investments we have made in our home.

I can't sing enough praises about NBC. I had a smaller project (1 bedroom ADU complete tear out and remodel after a fire) and selected this contractor because John and Judit provided me with am honest, transparent, detailed, and thorough bid. Throughout the process, NBC was responsive, communicative, timely, and really surprised me with their level of service. All of the sub-contractors John engages with are experts in their area and very professional. Several years after completion of the project, I'm still very happy with the results and still show off some very subtle contractor-things that spark joy (OCD plumbing lines and back panel, thoughtfulness in planning symmetry around support posts). Any construction knowledgeable visitor always comments on the quality of the work I've had done. I'm looking forward to working with them in the future.

A much overdue review of my experience with John and North Bay Construction. Last year they completed a bathroom remodel for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, they were incredibly friendly and easy to work with. John and his subs were communicative throughout the entire process—I always knew exactly where things stood and what to expect next. Every subcontractor brought in was professional and courteous, and it was clear that everyone took pride in their work. I appreciated how diligent they were about cleaning up at the end of each day—it made a huge difference. Overall, I highly recommend John and North Bay Construction to anyone looking for a reliable, respectful, and skilled team for their home project. This was my third time using them and I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future renovations!

NBC team (John, Judit, carpenters, etc) are highly professional and high quality general contractors.  I would engage with NBC again on all my home projects and look forward to the next one.  The entire experience was a pleasure!  (1) Scope of job:  NBC renovated the entire exterior of my house, including demolition, new windows, carpentry, bolting/bracing, insulation, water-proofing, concrete, stucco, plastering, lighting, paint, roofing, permitting.  (2) Timeliness: NBC worked strenuously to ensure the project was completed on time.  The entire crew, including sub-contractors, committed to showing up on time or early and completed each division/piece on time.   (3) Quality: NBC rigorously vets their sub-contractors.  Every sub-contractor has high standards and is passionate about their craft.  Every team left the site well-organized and clean.  (4) Communication & Organization:  NBC is highly experienced, so the coordination with carpenters, sub-contractors, and permitting was seamless.  They anticipated my questions and needs and were very responsive to requests and changes.  John sent a weekly update on the upcoming week, and checked in regularly during the week.
