Testimonial

A word from one of our happy clients

The most important part of any construction project is you. From first concepts to the last brush of paint,
your happiness and satisfaction drives our every detail. Our clients agree:

Paul Syfers and his crew, from Common Ground 818, are helpful, knowledgeable, and thorough in their workmanship. Paul goes above and beyond to ensure the job is done to a customer’s satisfaction, and is on the job site and available for his guys and the customer if questions arise. Paul’s crew has done a number of projects in my home, from carpet removal and installation of new flooring, to renovation of an existing bathroom, to building new rooms/additions. I recommend Common Ground 818 to anyone who wants quality work at a fair price.

How We Work

Commitment to your project
means more than nice words.

Any construction project is an investment of your time and money. Our process – borne from thousands of jobs over 30 years – brings efficiency to the work, and adds confidence for you. From smaller repairs, to more substantial projects – possibly years in the making – here’s our commitment to every job:

Every job is different, but our support never changes. We respect your time, your money, your property, and your desires. You can expect 24-hour turnaround on questions and concerns; frequent check-ins; meetings attended; and an expert team of tradespeople always managed with care. Plus, we return promptly AFTER completion for punch-lists and leftovers.

CONCEPTS

Consider this the meet-and-greet. You may have plans already drawn, or an idea in your head. Maybe it’s just a quick meeting to determine a repair. We’ll discuss your project, on-site if needed, determine next steps for an estimate, and work toward further details.

DESIGN

Your project gets put to paper. Not every project needs design work, but when one does, we can help. From drawings and site surveys, to permitting and timelines, options and alternatives are discussed, financials set, and concerns identified before the first move.

EXECUTION

Our team gets to work – start to finish. From site-work through the building process, our professionals see your work through. We coordinate schedules, manage our professional team of tradespeople, and provide proper equipment and expertise to start the job on time, stay on budget, and finish it with confidence.

SUPPORT

Every job is different, but our support never changes. We respect your time, your money, your property, and your desires. You can expect phone calls returned; meetings attended; and an expert team of tradespeople managed with care. We check-in freqently and work toward 24-hour turnaround for questions or concerns. And we’ll return promptly AFTER completion for punch-list items or other leftovers.
