WHY OUR CUSTOMERS ARE A LOT HAPPIER WORKING WITH US

When you’re looking for a contractor to build or upgrade your home, you see a lot of the same promises over and over. That makes it hard to know who to include in your bidding process. So rather than tell you that we’re committed to quality and efficiency (and really, who isn’t?), we’d rather tell you exactly what we do differently from almost all other home construction contractors, and how that’s to your advantage.

Custom home contractor
Builder, Designer and new home construction

I’M ON THE JOB.

I personally visit every job site to ensure that we’re staying on top of everything, keeping tight to our schedule and budget commitments, and dealing with the unexpected things that always come up in any project. I’m also highly available via cell phone and email. You can call me any time.

WE’RE GENTLEMEN. AND LADIES.

We know that we’re being invited into your home and we take that seriously. We don’t use foul language. Everyone on the team is approachable and courteous. We clean up after ourselves.

WE EMPLOY A PROFESSIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH.

We use a lot of the same project management disciplines I used when I oversaw the construction of global data centers. This means:

  • Better work, completed on time and on budget
  • A painless change order process that makes it easy for you to change your mind or make different decision mid-steam without compromising the overall project

WE MINIMIZE THE DISRUPTION THAT OFTEN ACCOMPANIES HOME CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

A major remodel can be a major disruption to your home life. We minimize this in many ways.

  • We wall off the work area so dirt and dust stay out of your home.
  • We clean the job site every day so you don’t have to worry about stepping on a nail or getting dusty when you inspect our progress.
  • For kitchen jobs, we set up an alternate kitchen area so you can still cook at home and live almost normally until your new kitchen is complete.

WE USE SPECIALISTS FOR EVERY ASPECT OF THE JOB.

Most builders have a team of generalists who try to do everything, from electrical to plumbing to sheetrock to cleanup. We use specialists for every part of the job, so you’ll be getting the expertise and advice of a lighting expert, a master plumber, a top level electrician, a bona fide security wizard, a home automation genius…you get the idea.

WE ONLY INSTALL CUSTOM CABINETS BUILT LOCALLY.

Some contractors buy pre-made cabinets from out of state and match them to your project as best they can. We don’t believe that’s good enough. The advantages of our approach are:

  • A perfect fit, guaranteed. No gaps, scribing, fudging, cheating or awkward proportions.
  • It’s fast and easy to get replacement pieces
  • The sealants used in overseas cabinets have been banned by the state of California for health reasons. (As they cure, they release small but measurable levels of toxic gases.) We prefer the greener, safer sealants that our local craftsmen use, especially since they work just as well.

Walt has incredible attention to detail skills. His team was very professional. He builds very solid homes. Construction site was always very clean, not even a small nail on the property. He and his project manager dealt with all the county , city, fire department and whatever else was needed. Our project was very big and complicated as we had just the land with no infrastructure. End of the day we are very happy we hired Wehrli Construction to build our home.

- Ivgen

“Walt came highly recommended, almost too well recommended. After our project, we are comfortable, even enthusiastic, to add our voices to the choir of praise. Our project was a complete kitchen and living room remodel: we kept only the tile floor…The results are an over-the-top kitchen, fit for a magazine! The entire crew working on our project (including subs) was friendly, professional and consistent. When they said they would be working, they were. When they left, the place was cleaned up, safe to walk about and inspect. While they were working, they were focused and made consistent progress. Walt set up a collaborative working environment, where we could interrupt to ask questions and debate solutions. The bottom line results are 10 out of 10.

It’s hard to imagine giving such a strong recommendation, but then it was unexpected to receive the same when we first looked at Wehrli Construction. Without a doubt, we could not be happier with the results and with the process. We strongly recommend them!”

“Wehrli construction just finished a total remodel of our home. What a fantastic experience. I am very skeptical with contractors and I am very hard to please when it comes to quality, but not this time. Walt Wehrli did a fantastic job. He and his crew along with architect did incredible work down to the finite details. We couldn’t be happier. His attention to detail, his crew was awesome, cleaned up after reach job, courteous and understanding when I asked questions. Walt managed the whole job and I didn’t have to worry at all about the renovation. It was a major job and he made us very happy. Would not hesitate to call him again or refer him at any time. He is the best I have seen.”

- Steve & Dolores D.

“Wehrli Construction renovated our kitchen last year. We were very pleased with the process and the outcome and would highly recommend Walt Wehrli. He had great ideas and listened to our wants and needs. Walt is very reliable and thorough. His workers and subcontractors were professional and did their best to minimize any disruption to our routine. They kept the worksite neat and completed the job ahead of schedule. Walt was a frequent presence on the job, making sure things were running smoothly and on time. The best thing about Walt, though, is his attention to detail. He is very exacting and doesn’t overlook even the smallest detail. The quality of his workmanship is amazing!”

- Michael & Lia H.

“We are extremely happy…It was a big job in which we remodeled our entire house. Walt is very organized and kept our job running consistently and on time. He is dependable, trustworthy and a great communicator who will advocate for you with his subs. He hires quality subcontractors who are courteous and approachable. Through every step of the remodel, we always felt like he had our best interests in mind. He consistently keeps you “in the loop” on your project and truly listens to your concerns/questions. If you are looking for a high quality general contractor who will treat your construction project like it’s his own, we highly recommend you hire Wehrli Construction.”
