Fontana Construction, Inc. Comparative Summary

Few construction firms earn the prestigious Diamond Certified award, which means they’ve been independently rated Highest in Quality. Even fewer can also claim a staff of expert builders who have more than 100 years of combined experience and knowledge in every aspect of residential construction, but that’s exactly the case for Fontana Construction, Inc. “Our team members have years of hands-on experience building homes with brick, steel, wood and other materials,” confirms Project Manager/Treasurer Steven Fontana. “There’s really nothing we can’t handle when it comes to residential construction.”

Fontana Construction has been building custom homes and room additions for clients in Marin, San Francisco, Sonoma, Napa, Solano and Alameda Counties since 1986. In addition to its building services, the company remodels kitchens and bathrooms, provides structural retrofits, offers general maintenance and repairs, and more. Its inclusive approach to project management begins with assessing clients’ pre-construction needs and handling everything from obtaining building permits to recommending suppliers.

Unlike construction firms that emphasize the importance of delivering quality products but sacrifice service-oriented business practices in the process, Fontana Construction takes a personalized approach to every project that ultimately produces highly detailed results. “A lot of contractors don’t understand the importance of listening to the needs of each individual client, but that’s very important to us,” says Mr. Fontana. “We work closely with our clients, respect their private spaces and work around their schedules as much as possible.”

Another distinguishing characteristic of Fontana Construction is the importance it places on building long-term relationships with its customers, which Mr. Fontana believes is the key to the company’s decades of success. “We’re a family business, and we treat our clients as part of that family,” he says. “We understand what it means to be involved in someone’s home life for an extended period of time, so we do everything we can to make each client feel as comfortable as possible.”
