What people are saying.

As a designer working on a personal project, I carefully selected Greenport for the millwork, and they did not disappoint! I designed a built-in with a Murphy bed and desk, incorporating a range of finishes and integrated hardware—definitely not a simple job! Their attention to detail was exceptional, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The craftsmanship is truly premium, and their collaborative approach made the entire process a pleasure. I've already referred them to a few friends and will continue to use them in my upcoming client projects.

Greenport Construction run wonderful polite and competent crews who do very good work. The owners know what they are about but more importantly for me (an older, single woman) is that in five years I have known and used them I have learned I can absolutely trust the integrity of what they say and what they do.

We had Greenport do an updated island and add a bar area to our kitchen. From the initial quote all the way through final punchlist completion, the entire team was professional, friendly, and knew how to get the job done. They did their best to minimize the mess during teardown & install, which allowed us to keep using most of the kitchen during the work. Ultimately, they were clear in communication and followed through with excellent work. We're thrilled with the final product and would happily recommend them to anyone in need of some great craftsmanship!

By far the best experience we have ever had with a contractor. Our kitchen remodel was completed on time with NO unexpected cost overruns or construction issues. Eli Froneberger was meticulous in his planning and execution. Highly recommended.

Eli and the crew at Greenport are awesome! They are very knowledgeable and extremely talented. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them for personal projects, or for projects with our clients. Highly recommend.

This was my first significant remodeling endeavor as a homeowner, but I have extensive experience with general contractors from my work as an interior designer. I was thoroughly impressed by the team at Greenport.
They excelled in planning, budgeting, quality, and communication, truly going above and beyond. I can't recommend them highly enough. Their project tracking system was exceptionally detailed, similar to what l've seen in time-and-material billing. They provided daily logs accessible from anywhere. While I valued the detail, it became a bit too much to track, so they transitioned to a weekly report summarizing work performed and upcoming tasks. They also shared a project schedule, which was incredibly useful. Their flexibility with product selections and design was super helpful, and most importantly, their craftsmanship was top notch.
In my past experiences, I've noticed some contractors lose steam towards the end, but they remained dedicated and finished strong. They created their own punch list that encompassed everything on mine and more, and walked me through each room to ensure everything met my standards. I did encounter a minor issue with a drawer weeks after they finished, but they returned the very next day to resolve it, which is impressively prompt for a contractor post-final payment.
As for pricing, I won’t say they aren't the cheapest option available. They were the second-highest among the initial estimates I received. While they provided the estimate for free, there was a fee for a detailed "fixed-price quote." I'm not sure if this is standard for all projects, or just remodels, but they gave me a pre-construction planning budget agreement. At first I had mixed feelings about paying for extensive planning, which did take a couple of weeks, but they navigated it fairly quickly under the circumstances. This process showed me why I've seen other project have such high change order fees. If details are overlooked in the bidding process it can lead to significant expenses, which means they might seek to cover costs through change orders. However, the extra planning time that Greenport invested ensured that everything was executed correctly, on schedule, and within budget-something quite rare in the construction industry.- Amy Katter, San Anselmo

I’ve worked with many contractors, Greenport Construction is one of the best in the Bay Area. I live in a small cottage close to the creek built before I was born and in phases over the decades. The severity of storms and high waters due to climate change had taken a toll on my property. High waters were eroding the soils underneath and rotting decks that grandpa and I built 25 hrs ago. The Greenport team came in ‘Over the Holidays’ to ensure my house was safe and secure; installing supporting sheetrock to siding, and beams to support floors. A few weeks later they returned and removed rotted decking and a bridge battered by holiday storms. The team was experienced and professional, extremely well organized and efficient. With older properties surprises are bound to surface. The team was a delight to work with, providing sound advice adapting the work as needed for the best result in the most cost effective manner. Yes it was expensive and seemed to take forever, but it was a fair budget tightly controlled and the perfect solution to stabilize and preserve my home. The team worked with heart and produced a beautiful deck and bridge that will last for generations to come and will secure the value of my property.
