John and his crew have completed several large remodeling projects over the years at our home in Oakland, a 1912 craftsman bungalow: A full kitchen remodel, a full bathroom remodel, and a basement conversion to full living space, including the addition of a full bath, bedroom, library and laundry room. John is great to work with - his work is top notch. Our kitchen has been finished for almost 20 years now and it still looks beautiful and performs like new. Meticulous tile work, rough and finish carpentry, electrical, plumbing, interior and exterior - we have trusted Cavanaugh Construction with our most valuable investment, our home, time and time again. Thank you John!

We had a great experience. John was prompt and extremely hard working - and offered by far the best price out of anyone. He does it all from plumbing, tile, electrical, floor, and finish carpentry. The end results were amazing, and if you’re like us, we live in an old 1960’s ranch home that hasn’t been updated. He made it simple and affordable. He was clean and was a pleasure to have around the house. I can’t recommend him enough.

The architect making drawings for our kitchen/bath remodel recommended John Cavanaugh to handle the contract work. I am so pleased we decided to work with John on this ambitious project. John understands the ins and outs of domestic remodeling and has a broad experience in multiple trades (tile, plumbing, structural, electrical). He has a good relationship with workers that he subcontracts to. Remodeling work entails a bit of flexibility, and John was quite capable of thinking on his feet and quickly being able to interpret changes in the field for my wife and I to understand. I suppose this is the best aspect of working with John: he understands the importance of accessibility for the client. If you have questions, John will be available to discuss the matter from his cellphone, or in person.

Our project ended under budget, and on time. Not bad for a 1911 bungalow!
