J. David Ford Construction

My older stucco house had some dry rot. First, David Ford was really responsive by phone, email, and personal visits. Then, he took me step by step into finding the best person for getting the best picture possible of where and how extensive the dry rot was. When we began work, he had a great crew appear regularly, and that crew was even led by Dave’s employee who is a licensed contractor himself.

Dave did an earthquake retrofit for our house. He walked us through everything and was very communicative. He took care of all of the permitting and city work.. His team was great and were easy to work with. Once the project got started it was a pretty quick process, with minimal disruption.

Dave is an absolute expert contractor for seismic retrofit. During consultation he took the time to advise me on earthquake insurance, which structural engineer to work with, what to expect on the permitting/inspection process (his foreman handled all of it) and how the work would be done in detail. His crew was very professional, friendly and performed expert work. The plans provided by the structural engineer were followed exactly. When one item was missed, it was addressed immediately. Dave also helped my find the right subcontractor for earthquake valve installation. There were some hiccups in communication in getting this job going, but Dave was clear as to why that happened and was just an expert in seismic retrofit delivering a job that is code compliant and was done on schedule and budget with no problems once work was underway.
