Testimonials
-
“I have collaborated with John Parfitt for nearly 15 years, during which he transformed the Bodega Cove cabins from near-derelict structures to designs featured in publications. John managed all aspects, including drafting plans, securing permits, and leading a team to complete the project on time for peak season. John’s calm and respectful leadership ensured that decisions made in my absence aligned with or enhanced my vision. He embraces innovative techniques and materials, distinguishing him from many experienced contractors and he understand the constraints of building in a semi-remote location intimately. I would rehire John without hesitation.”
