Douglas Fossum Construction - Santa Cruz, California

Dan C.

I am so grateful for Doug and his wonderful crew!!! We bought a small humble house in Santa Cruz several years back knowing we would remodel at some point. After watching several friends and coworkers go through the remodel process we were really terrified. We talked to several contractors, all had been recommended, including DFC. The reason we choose Doug and his company (which comes with an amazing and talented designer Mindy) is because they got our vision, our budget, and always got back to us! The planning and permitting for our project took about a year, which for the scope was relatively fast. The construction start to finish was 4.5 months! We added a bathroom, closet, pitched our roof, and replaced siding and some windows. I was blown away at how professional Doug and his entire crew were! In the end we were on time, on budget, and we absolutely love our house!!! The quality of work is outstanding! Thank you Doug, Mindy, and all of DFC's crew for making our dream house a reality!!!

We loved working with Douglas Fossum Construction! We remodeled the kitchen, guest bath and primary suite in our newly purchased beach house. The primary bathroom was particularly challenging when it came to reconfiguring it to accomodate our wants and needs. Doug was able to come up with an great floor plan and now we have a beautiful spa-like retreat. He also made important construction recommendations along the way insure that our spaces would be beautiful and cohesive but also safe. Mindy was an amazing designer and project manager. She really listened to what we wanted in the design and guided us through the overwhelming number of desicsions that needed to be made. She accompanied us on field trips to pick out cabinets, counter tops, fixtures and hardware. She made sure that we were kept up to date on the progress and if there were any snafu's along the way. Mindy was always so cheerful and fun to work with. All of our spaces are spectacular and we have received a ton of compliments on the finished product. Both Doug and Mindy were very responsive to emails and texts and answered any question that we had. The crew and subs were professional, polite, respectful and they did a great job cleaning up after themselves. We give Douglas Fossum Construction 5 stars, 2 thumbs up and would recommend them for any job!

Doug made our dreams come true ! Yes there was friction and frustration. During those times Doug's confidence shined through. He kept assuring me that in the end we will have the product. He built a ground up ADU which borders a Santa Cruz Long Toed Salamander habitat. This location of the build brought up many unexpected challenges.
I am forever very grateful for all he did and will continue recommending him to friends and family.

Douglas Fossum Construction has been a pleasure to work with for our kitchen and powder room (bathroom) design/build. From the beginning of the project they were communicative and responsive to our needs/desires. Right off the bat they provided us with an amazing design. The design choices and guidance from their project manager/designer, Mindy. was priceless. Doug, along with his construction staff, Joel and Brock, are real professionals. All along the way we were provided with updates regarding the process and the work was completed in a timely manner. We can't say enough good things about our experience with the Doug, Mindy & the gang. If you're looking for a someone to work with on a remodel/construction project give them a call, you will be happy you did.

I can not recommend DFC enough!!!! My realtor recommended them to me for a major remodel of kitchen, living room and bathroom. I hired them a second time for a master bath and bedroom remodel.
During both remodels, their communication was outstanding (something that is hard to come by), they gave great suggestions on design and constructability, their pricing was upfront and fair and the end product far exceeded my expectations.

These guys came in the middle of a botched remodel job and took over, repaired all the previous errors and finished with excellent workmanship and professionalism. With a busted budget from previous errors being done over they were helpful as I got finances back in order. I recommend them highly.
