"We know that our little kitchen remodel
was a small job for a
building firm. But for us it was a very big thing; we had saved
for
a long time. Friends told us to be prepared for the unexpected,
disappointments, and delays. It turned out to be a great experience
for which we are truly grateful. Your staff was so organized
and
efficient. We marveled at how much they accomplished each day.
The
project manager, Vit, was outstanding. We were always informed
and
any question was answered fully, promptly and honestly. We
appreciated your expert help in suggesting alternative, affordable
solutions when we needed that. The quality of the work was really
beyond what we thought we could expect. We felt we were treated
with
the same dedication and service that a multi-million dollar project
would receive. We didn't know that there were people whose standards
would exceed ours. We feel that we got more than we paid for
and
that feeling is priceless. Everyone brought their best work to
every part of the project."

When we first purchased our home, I was skeptical
that it could be transformed. Your with suggestions, plans and
ideas we now have a home we can be proud of when entertaining
out of town guests. Your crew and support staff were so professional
from the tear down to completion. Thank you so much for doing
such a fabulous job. Wow! You also finished ahead of schedule!
Please give a pat on the back to your employees, especially Raul,
he was great!
Yours sincerely, Tom and June Fullerton
"Shouldn't be a surprise that every last detail was taken
care of. Thank you so much for this perfectly perfect new room
with a view, it's something!"
Linda Antonelli
We want to thank you for our beautiful kitchen.
Your entire crew was
so efficient, professional, reliable, skilled, and pleasant. The
experience was positive from the very beginning. We never dreamed
it
could all come together so easily for us. Vit managed all the details
with great efficiency. Your crew was always prompt and did meticulous
work. Your subs all demonstrated such high standards. We were
completely satisfied every step of the construction. We looked
forward
to seeing the daily progress and interacting with your crew. It
was so
refreshing to work with a group of people that took such pride
in their work. We share our kitchen with our family and friends
feeling
gratitude for the beautiful end result and the memory of a very
pleasant experience.
Thank you all very much,
René and Michael Curtis
I am THRILLED with my new kitchen! I keep thinking
I left a light on, but it is just the skylights letting so much
light in. I've got TONS more cupboard space because the upper
cabinets are 5 inches longer, and I was able to get an extra
shelf in each one. Jeff's idea of making the soffits as an upper
extension of the cabinets was a great idea! It gives such a smooth,
clean look. I love doing dishes in a sink that I don't have to
scrub when I'm done.

Because we always give our best to a project, our
clients have come to expect excellent results. We prefer to let
them speak for us.
Jeff,
For years I dreamed of a home that was beautiful, warm and welcoming
to friends and family. You made my dreams come true. A simple
thank you does not fully express my gratitude. I am blessed to
have had you be part of a wonderful chapter in my life. I really
appreciate how accommodating and professional your crew was. The
terrific results speak for themselves. Thanks again for a memorable
experience.
Sincerely,
Betty Mello, Capitola
“We have hired Jeff several times over the past 13 years
for various home improvement projects including an entire kitchen
remodel, a new outdoor entertaining area, arbor and patio. We
have consistently been impressed with not only his friendly and
efficient professionalism, but also with the quality of work we’ve
come to expect from his crew. He is able to manage various types
of subcontractors, which is enormously helpful. We always know
we will get the highest quality from Jeff and that the result
will be beautiful. We can truly say he always gives us our moneys
worth. Do yourselves a favor and hire him for your next project!
You won’t be disappointed.”
-John and Chimene Lee, Scotts Valley
Dear Jeff,
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how impressed
I am with your services and coordination of the remodeling at
my home, including the workmanship and timeliness of all the details.
I am thrilled with the addition and the bright, new, spacious
look it provides as well as the courtesy and professionalism of
your team. Thank you so much for a job well done. I will certainly
sing your praises to all I know.

“I much appreciated your timely response to my project
request. Your crew was so efficient that they finished ahead of
schedule. It was a real pleasure working with your team and we
look forward to hiring you for our next project. Thanks again.”
-Tim Eells, Soquel
I have built a custom home and remodeled several others and
have never been particularly happy with the experience until I
met Jeff Thranow and the Costa Bella team. The crew was on time,
respectful and hardworking. Jeff and his team responded to concerns
quickly and produced high quality results. I wouldn’t hesitate
to recommend Costa Bella Builders to anyone and would hire them
again in heartbeat for my next project.
Dian Burke, Aptos
“Costa Bella Builders did a total and complete remodel
of our kitchen. Jeff did a fantastic job and completed the project
three days ahead of schedule. I was a pleasure to work with someone
of his knowledge and integrity. Our kitchen is beautiful, we couldn’t
be more pleased!
-Hans and Jane Mates, Santa Cruz, CA
Dear Jeff:
WOW! What more can we say about our remodeled master bathroom
area. It should have been featured in Architectural Digest. At
first, we were unsure of how to configure the bathroom or how
it could be accomplished according to code except that we wanted
to replace the bathtub with a shower and to provide for additional
counter area and add space to our undersized bathroom. Jeff Thranow
resolved all of our concerns with his expertise and knowledge
as a contractor. I cannot say enough about the Costa Bella Staff:
from the production manager Kate (always pleasantly helpful),
the project manager and Raul, carpenter (master at his craft and
conscientious and hardworking) and others from the crew. Whatever
our concerns, we would call and there would be Jeff or personnel
from his staff at our door to handle the situation. We also want
to add that the subcontractors were professional, personable,
master craftsman.
Thank you so much for remodeling our master bathroom. We are
frequently viewing our new bathroom because we cannot believe
the change. We hope the future holds many new and remodeled homes
in Santa Cruz County built by your company because there is none
better than Jeff Thranow of Costa Bella Builders.
Best Regards,
Janice Ichikawa and Mark Andrako
