SD Construction came to the rescue to save our 2,200 home renovation back in 2018. Stefan is known in our household as the “angel” that saved us after we unfortunately discovered that our original general contractor at the time had been fraudulently mis-appropriating our funds and was months behind schedule.

Stefan and his team took on our disaster of a project without hesitation, going above and beyond in getting our project back on track. His team took over the project at the framing stage and took it through completion. Stefan laid out a realistic schedule, met all of the milestones, and brought on high quality sub-contractors that not only got the job done but executed in a beautiful manner. 

SD Construction’s skill and craft in home building are what enabled us to finish the house that we live in it today. With a baby on the way, we were under a lot of stress to complete the project. Stefan and his team always managed to ease our fears with their optimism and solution- oriented attitude. Our home was completed just a few months before the pandemic hit and we cannot be more grateful. We truly owe the roof over our family’s head to Stefan and the entire SD Construction team.

We had a great experience working with Stefan.  We build a 3 story, 7 bedroom, 6 bathrooms 6500 sq. ft. home on a very small lot in Pacific Palisades.  The Hamptons' style home turned out beautiful.  It's very much a collaborative process building a home, and Stefan was a pleasure.  If there were issues that arose, Stefan always found solutions and was willing to compromise when cost overruns, tho' rare, would occur.  I enthusiastically recommend Stefan and his team as true professionals to help build your new home.

I highly recommend SD Construction. They have provided concrete and framing for the 

construction of several of my projects for which I was the architect and general 

contractor. They provided excellent work for a reasonable price, and the work was done

in a timely manner. Stefan Denser has a lot of experience providing construction 

services. He does a great job of supervising his crews of workers, and he has often 

offered helpful suggestions about alternate ways of doing things that have saved time 

and money.

We met Stefan through a referral soon after purchasing our home. Our new home was basically a tear down, and Stefan agreed to help us renovate. Stefan took the house down to the studs, reinforced the foundation, and built it back to a brand new beautiful home including a completely new garage. Their team was FAST. From the day we closed escrow to the day we moved in was one day short of a year. That included several months with an architect, permits, everything. Stefan brought in excellent sub-contractors, found great deals on building products, and helped us navigate the tricky green energy rules, permits, inspectors, you name it. Every time a team had a problem, Stefan would come in, negotiate with them, and solve it for us. He’s so likable people just ended up doing what he wanted. He went so far beyond what we contracted him for, all because he saw that we needed the help. From communication, to his crew, to negotiations, to finishes, Stefan and his crew were beyond excellent. But what we are especially grateful for is Stefan’s creativity. It was his idea to vault the ceiling in our entryway, his idea to do a rounded door from Brazil, his idea to rewrap and stucco the house, and his idea to put in a complete drainage system. Things we weren’t even thinking about at the time and are grateful for every day. We know renovating can be a nightmare, with SD Construction, and especially Stefan, it was a dream.

Stefan Denser, the owner of SD Construction, managed my Santa Monica project from start to finish.  He took ownership for my project as an authentic GC/Owner in managing trades, facilitating direction, maintaining an aggressive project timeline, and kept ongoing communication with me throughout the course of construction.  In an effort to save $$ in managing my own project, Stefan stepped in to support my project on many levels beyond our agreement for demolition, concrete foundations, structural steel, framing, window and door installation to get us back in within 9 months for a major remodel, a project that would typically take 12-18 months minimum.  If I am ever in a position to rebuild another Santa Monica Bungalow, Stefan will be my first call.

Stefan Denser served as my general contractor on a $500k addition to my 1948 Landmark designated mid-century modern home in Pasadena. The new Master Bedroom/Bathroom and detached garage required extensive concrete foundation work that included custom poured in place concrete stairway structures. Six years later there are no cracks or deficiencies. Additionally, Mr. Denser's attention to detail replicating original Douglas fir woodwork details was excellent. I honestly don't think I could have completed the project without him and his team of skilled craftsman. Luckily I picked SD Construction for my renovation and would do it all over again.

We undertook a complete remodel of our 1600 square foot 1920’s bungalow in 2018 with Stefan Denser. He was highly recommended by another family who had done a complete reno and second story. He had already done two homes on our street. From the three contractors who bid on our project Stefan was the only one who immediately gave us cost cutting ideas to stick to our budget. On the same day he came to bid, his framer was out back giving us his estimate. We felt we were in great hands. We did a complete renovation  (plumbing, hv/ac, electrical, new driveway, concrete work, the works) as well as an addition of a high ceiling indoor outdoor room with a disappearing glass panels, a new mudroom and bathroom. I was most concerned about tile work and his sub-contractor was excellent as our project required extensive tiling with marble, cement tile and intricate moroccan zellige tile. Stefan was there every step of the way, always coming back, keeping us on budget. He lays utmost importance on his crews’ professionalism (no smoking, clean work area, company T-shirts) and his clients’ satisfaction. With a remodel there are always surprises (given the age of our home) and Stefan was always flexible and on top of the project, getting us back into our home on time. I especially appreciated his timely answers to all the calls and texts so typical of first-time nervous homeowners who are doing a big remodel. He would always respond right away, not something that is always a given. We are over the moon pleased with our new home!

Stefan and team completed an entire interior remodel for us in 2012. Here’s what you need to know. He does what he says and he makes things happen fast. Working with Stefan was a real pleasure.

We worked with SD Construction on the construction of our new custom home. They primarily provided some rough framing and finish carpentry. The quality of work was excellent. One of the things we were impressed with was their frequent suggestions and ideas on how to improve the project in advance, and during construction. (“If this was my house I would consider doing…”) Their team was wonderful to work with and were very reliable. I would highly recommend them.

We worked with Stefan and his team to help us remodel and add square footage to our family home that we purchased in 2015.  Stefan showed extreme patience with us as we went through our numerous changes to get to our perfect modification.  As first time home owners, we could not be any happier with the quality of work performed by his team.  From major work adding square footage to the front of our house, to remodeling and reconfiguring our stairway and master bedroom, Stefan's team was able to help us update our space to what we always wanted.  Before we started on our house, we heard so many horror stories from friends with their home remodeling projects, everything from missing deadlines, to overblown budgets and we were pleasantly surprised that we had very few of those issues.     If you are looking for an organized, meticulous and easy to communicate with construction team, Stefan and his crew are your guys.

I've used SD Construction to handle the  grading, excavation, foundations, structural steel, backfill and compaction, and framing work on several houses I've built.  Stefan and his team do great work and I'd highly recommend them.  Stefan has great technical knowledge and he and his team are conscientious, reliable and do high quality work.  I've never had to worry about them cutting corners and when there are issues, Stefan is a stand up guy that does the right thing to get them resolved.
