Any of these come to mind when thinking about a remodel?

  • “How much will my remodel project really cost?”
  • “When will it really be done?”
  • “Will we catch the details before it’s too late?”
  • “Can I trust my contractor with my home?”
  • “Will change orders get out of control?”

All good questions. And…

“Will my contractor be around in 5 or 10 years if something goes wrong?”

We’ve all heard the horror stories about residential construction projects.

Last thing you want to be is the one telling that story.

Hi, I’m Brian Lack

Business owner and founder of Fine Eye Construction

We design and build remodels for luxury homes in the greater Bay Area. I’ve been in construction since 1997. I learned from my father starting young. Doing the same with my kids. Making it so Fine Eye will be here for them. Point being, we’ll be here for a long while.

I’ve built this business completely on referrals. Nothing tells the truth more than results. Our business approach is to create beautiful homes and great experiences. Then, let others tell their friends, family, and colleagues.

Our relationships continue with customers over years, by being their go-to guy for their future projects.

Some questions worth asking

A few questions you should ask any contractor for your remodel project. Here’s our answers.

“Why should I trust Fine Eye to do my remodel?”

Talk to our clients, they’ll tell you why.

Same with our suppliers. We’re credible. Just ask. We’ll get you a list right away. We’ve been around for a while, and will be here even longer. We’re solid people, creative builders, expert craftsmen, and mindful of every move. A few of the reasons people trust us with their remodels.

And when you do talk with some previous clients, ask them… “Does Brian say what he’ll do? And do what he says?

We know the home construction industry is known for lack of follow-through and sorry excuses. In a way, it’s a good thing for us- helps us stand out. Which helps you feel confident about choosing and working with Fine Eye.

“How many projects do you work on at a time?”

One big one. Or, two or three smaller projects.

We’re a small business. By design. We like it that way. Makes it easy to do the right things, with a known quality. This allows us to focus on your project, from beginning to end.

We stay engaged and so will you.

You’ll see progress daily, as your remodel takes shape. You’ll know of any and all changes. We schedule work and order materials efficiently, leaving no excuses for delays or work stoppages.

It’s our business model for creating great living spaces.

“Brian clearly and frequently explained my options..”

“I came to Fine Eye with ideas other contractors didn’t know what to do with. Brian is smart and skilled, with an amazing eye for good craftsmanship—he easily knew how to translate our concept into a final product. With important and detailed decisions to make, Brian clearly and frequently explained my options and reasoning for each. I had a vision, I believed I could get it- and finally did with Fine Eye. Brian cared about achieving an excellent result as much as I did.”

~ Lynn Collins, Plastic Surgeon, San Francisco, CA remodel

“Can I get a list of previous clients?”

Absolutely. Contact me, I’ll get this out to you immediately.

Buying a home is the most major item you’ll ever buy. Choosing to remodel it- probably second most.

So yes, do your due diligence. Talk to people who’ve been through a remodel, including those whose home we’ve converted from dream to reality.

And, ask them how comfortable they were in their home during the remodel.

“Why is your bid more than others?”

Because we don’t cut corners.

And neither should you.

Our crew has experience, knowledge, and skills in all phases of construction. If needed, we’ll call in specialists. We’ll review competitive, subcontractor bids, to get you the best workers, at the best rate, giving you real value.

If price is your main criteria for choosing a contractor, then we’re not a match. But, if you want a great space, built on time, within your budget, and no surprises, then let’s work together.

Here’s the thing.

You could find other remodelers for less here in the Bay Area. But why skimp on your 1-million-dollar-plus home? Quality project management, craftsmanship, workers, and materials will cost less in the long run. You’ll get what you imagined, it will last, and you’ll enjoy your home more when entertaining family and friends.

“How long have you worked with your subcontractors?”

With most all of them, for several years now.

We partner with pros. Our reputation depends on it. You want to trust everyone working on your home. And, know they produce quality work. Whether designing a space, running wires or banging nails. You’ll get industry discounts, because we’re connected.

We’re open to working with new subcontractors to meet your budget. Got a cousin in the trade or favorite electrician? Let’s talk. As long as they meet our requirements for quality and are absolutely dependable.

“…Everything made efficient and modern…”

“Fine Eye remodeled my barn in the Oakland Hills from the ground up. It was important to me to keep the original look and feel. Brian and his team used their creativity to salvage the siding, and rebuild and fabricate the original barn doors to be weather-tight. Everything was made efficient and modern, yet the barn looks like it did 100 years ago, making this our favorite escape.”

~ Becky Urbano, Home owner for Oakland Hills, CA remodel

““…creating the open, comfortable ambiance we always wanted.”

“We hired Fine Eye to work with our designer to convert our outdated kitchen to a more open and comfortable space.

Why gamble on your remodel contractor?

Hey, stuff happens, right? In work. In life. Same with construction.

It’s how one handles them that shows integrity and skills. Construction is a fluid, dynamic process. Lots of moving parts, including options that crop up along the way. It’s a good thing. What’s not a good thing is avoiding issues. Which won’t happen with your project (yet again, ask previous clients). With us, you’ll know right away, not later. Because…

At all times…

You’ll be informed. Your project moving forward each day. You’ll have options, for what you want, what to do next, how much it will cost. Making it easy to make the right choice for your budget.

We pay attention to details, things you might not see, but we do.

It’s in our name.
