Orinda general contractors

Our General Contractors in Orinda fit Your Needs

An old expression states that “a man’s home is his castle.”  And sometimes it becomes desirable to update the castle. Maybe you need to add a bedroom or two. Perhaps you’ve become enthralled by the shows on HGTV and envision having the kitchen of your dreams. Maybe you’d like to knock out some walls to create an amazing open concept. Perhaps you are buying a home that needs some major updating and renovation work. In these cases, it is wise to call an expert general contractor in Orinda. 

Why it is Wise to Hire a General Contractor 

It is wise to hire a professional general contractor instead of trying to do a major project yourself. You can probably handle some small DIY projects or else hire a handyman to help you. But for major projects, it is smart to hire a general contractor because a general contractor will follow proper construction methods (and not cut corners), follow building codes, take the right safety precautions, and pull the correct permits. They will have the right equipment. They will get better prices on materials. And they will have the manpower to get the work done on schedule. A custom home contractor in Lafayette will deliver your project to your complete satisfaction. 

How to Find the Right Contractor for Your Home Project 

Use these tips to find the right contractor and custom home builder in Diablo for your project: 

  • Develop a detailed plan for the project. 
  • Make a short list of contractor candidates. Find out about their experiences and special abilities and how long they have been in business.  
  • Interview three (or more) candidates and ask for references. 
  • Verify their licenses and insurance. 
  • Discover how they handle permitting and safety procedures. 
  • Ensure that they offer a warranty for their services. 
  • Carefully review their proposed costs and their contract.

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.”
