C & D Freitas Construction

We just finished a remodel of our home – basically building an addition to the front of our house – adding a family room, another bedroom and bath, and a small laundry room.
I doubt that many people would say after a remodel is done that they would actually miss their weekly meetings with their contractor but that’s how I felt! Clarence appears to be one of the most organized and honest people that I have worked with and his workers all were terrific and trustworthy – something very important to us since we were still living in the house during the whole remodel. The overall cost was quite reasonable given the scope of the project and going rate in the area. Also it appears that over his many years in the business, he has cultivated good relationships with excellent subcontractors and therefore he can get things done quite efficiently and in the manner that results in the best quality workmanship. I can’t recommend him highly enough and once our finances recover slightly from this remodel, we can’t wait to bring him back to update some of our bathrooms.

Clarence and his crew, led by Tom Ellis, built a two-​story home, with a finished basement, for me in 2009 in Palo Alto. They committed to finishing in 13 months and completed it 2 months early. They came in just 2% over budget, which were all options we decided to add along the way. Their integrity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were outstanding. They have also built a 700 ft2 addition for my sister, which she loves. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them remodel or build my next home. They are more than outstanding contractors, they are, along with Clarence’s wife Colette, truly exceptional human beings.

We were referred to C&D Freitas by a friend for what started as a two bathroom remodel. We were so pleased that they took our small project as they are used to doing custom homes. Even so, they treated our project as if it were their only job. They were the utmost professionals and handled all the details. We had complete faith in them right from the first meeting. Clarence and his crew were so warm and accomodating that we were truly sorry to see the project come to an end. They really go above and beyond to ensure the customer is satisfied. We would HIGHLY recommend them. You won’t be disappointed.

C&D Freitas built our home (tear down/​build) in Palo Alto. The town of Palo Alto can make it very difficult to build a new home (particularly when there is a basement involved) but this team did an amazing job. It’s rare that people have such a positive relationship with their builders, but we were really impressed with the quality of the work, the pace with which they worked, and their honest, forthright demeanor. I would definitely use them again without hesitation and have recommended them to many people.
