Where do I begin? I have a high end, high volume interior design firm in downtown Oakland and we have been working with Michael McCutcheon and his amazing team for more than eight years now. We have worked on dozens of projects together and have built many great relationships with our clients because of the seamless communication between our teams, and because of their commitment to quality and service. When we choose to grow with a vendor it is important to us that we collaborate with professionals who share the same values of integrity, honesty, follow through and kindness. (with a little good

Report
We've worked with McCutcheon Construction on several residential building projects around the San Francisco Bay Area. Their team is very knowledgeable and professional, and every project we've come across we're increasingly impressed with what they can accomplish. They really pay a lot of attention to detail and value the client's goals over anything else. Their quality of construction details is hard to find. We're happy to know the entire crew and look forward to working together on more projects in the coming years. Keep up the great work.
