SAI Construction Inc.

We recently finished our remodel and just had to share our great experience. When we were bidding out our very large remodel, we included SAI Construction as a third bidder. Not only did Mike give us the best bid package and an honest assessment of what was needed, he provided a very competitive bid. Anyone who has done a large remodel knows it’s not about getting the cheapest bids. You need someone who does quality work and keeps you involved in the process. Mike’s bid being competitive was a huge bonus. We could see from the Excel spreadsheets and MS Project plans provided that Mike was a unicorn amongst contractors. His engineering background and college degree really contributed to his knowledge on how to run a business and build a home the right way. Not only that, but he is very personable, honest, and a great communicator who is clear and concise. Mike was amazing in his management of our project. He kept all the workers going every day with no work stoppages or schedule gaps. We have never seen anyone spin so many plates and never drop one. He always kept a very clean work site, requiring workers to clean up before they left for the day. Mike ensured that everyone was very respectful of our neighbors and were courteous with parking, loading, construction debris, and noise. Along the way, we changed scope of work to include some excellent improvements that he suggested. Mike was able to accommodate the changes with the schedule being only slightly impacted and very well worth the investment. Mike always used quality materials and insisted on superior craftsmanship from his subcontractors and workers. He even passed on savings and helped us maximize what we got from our investment. Mike brought in Tim’s Woodworking from San Pedro, who built us beautiful custom cabinets in our kitchen and a vanity in our master bath, both of which used every inch of available space. Everything was really great quality and we were surprised that the price was actually less than many off-the-shelf units. (We actually compared with two others who had done remodels.) Tim had a lot of great ideas and customized our kitchen to our workflow. He installed some incredible pieces including a beautiful maple insert for our knife drawer, corner pullouts that maximized space, and a laundry closet that minimized wasted space. Amazing craftsmanship! Mike was always on schedule and on budget, anticipating issues, and working closely with the City Inspector to ensure we had no issues passing inspections. Our end result is that Mike transformed our home into an efficient, very comfortable and livable, low maintenance, and solidly built home that will last for many more decades with very little upkeep. Our project was done on time, within budget, and with excellent quality. We heard contractor horror stories from everyone which made us appreciate Mike all the more. You couldn’t ask for a better General Contractor and awesome home builder!!! We highly recommend Mike and SAI Construction to anyone who dislikes cookie cutter houses and desires an awesome home, quality built to order. ~Jim & Linda

I have known and worked with Mike Van Over at SAI construction for over 10 years. His work is impeccable. The attention to detail and workmanship is superior in every aspect. This holds true of all of the projects that I have been involved in or that I have seen as examples. The project design, execution and financial management are always second to none. I sell residential Real Estate and have referred Mike many times, always with incomparable results. If you are considering SAI and Mike Van Over for your project, you need look no further. If you should care to call and talk further about SAI and Mike, I am happy to oblige. David Keller

SAI Construction recently helped us renovate nearly every surface of our home. We honestly could not have been more pleased to have had Mike as our contractor! We had a fairly short time frame for our renovation and Mike not only kept us on schedule, but stayed totally within budget as well. He was so completely hands on and responsive - no detail was too small for him to deal with. And all of the people he brought into our home to do the work were so professional and conscientious and just generally good people. In addition, Mike was so helpful in making suggestions and guiding decisions along the way. He always did what was best for us and our house, never making choices that benefited him in any way. What impressed us most as our project finished up was Mike's continued attention to our job. Some contractors fall from the scene as things wind down, but not Mike. He was there each and every day just like he was at the beginning of the project. It is obvious he cares so much about what he does and takes such pride in every single detail. We have a beautiful new house because of it! Thank you, Mike!

SAI Construction hired me as their substituting contractor specializing in interior flooring and wall covering. Mike, the General Contractor, is a great team leader and project coordinator. He is always on time and pitching new ideas. With him around, work is always more efficient, resulting in a more satisfying finish.

I have worked with Mike of SAI Construction over the last three years. My role as a sub-contractor is made easier as Mike brings to the project a high level of professionalism, organization and a commitment to seeing to all details. Mike excels at managing the trades, keeping the project moving forward and sticking to a budget. I have worked with other general contractor before and Mike of SAI Construction is a sterling example of what all generals should be. I recommend him to any homeowner who is looking for a honest, organised and preofessional contractor.
