New Construction

Farnsworth Builders specializes in creating custom luxury homes tailored to clients' unique visions. Our process combines meticulous pre-construction planning with hands-on execution, ensuring every detail aligns with architectural designs. We integrate smart technology and energy-efficient systems while maintaining strict quality control through our in-house team's expertise. Projects emphasize collaboration with architects and homeowners to deliver timeless, high-performance residences.

Home Remodeling

Our home remodeling services transform existing properties into modern, functional spaces without compromising architectural integrity. We handle complete home renovations, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and structural additions while preserving desirable original features. The process includes material reuse strategies, energy efficiency improvements, and seamless integration of modern amenities to enhance both aesthetic appeal and daily living functionality.

Pre-Construction Planning

We provide comprehensive pre-construction services including feasibility studies, budget analysis, and timeline projections. Our team collaborates with architects and engineers to identify potential challenges, secure necessary permits, and develop detailed project scopes. This phase ensures transparent budgeting, risk mitigation, and logistical planning to guarantee smooth execution during the construction phase.

Solar Installation

Solar system integration is offered as a core component of our building process rather than an afterthought. We design and install Tesla Solar Roofs, Powerwall systems, and REC solar panels directly into home infrastructure. This approach ensures optimal energy efficiency while maintaining aesthetic continuity with the overall architectural design.

Project Management

Our project management approach features weekly onsite meetings, detailed progress reports, and daily communication with subcontractors. The CEO personally oversees all projects with a dedicated build-team that monitors timelines, budgets, and quality standards. We provide transparent updates to clients and architects throughout every construction phase from permitting to final walkthrough.

If I could I give this company zero stars, I would. We waited for 6 weeks for Wes F to provide a bid for an extensive remodeling job in Culver City, only to have him finally contact my architect and say he was no longer interested in bidding. This is why general contractors get the reputation that they do. If he wasn't interested in the job (or never planned on seriously bidding) then why make us wait for 6 weeks, why not have the common decency to say no thank you up front. Highly unethical.

Wes and David and the Farnsworth team built our dream house. They listened. They asked great questions. They gave great advice. And then they built the house that we will live in for the rest of our lives - the house we will raise our kids in - the house we love.

Farnsworth Builders built our entire house from the ground up - better than we could have imagined because they had the experience to know a hundred different tiny little solutions to things that wouldn't have ever occurred to us - things that will save us time and money and frustration down the road. They are smart. They are

So it's coming up on 4 years since Wes remodeled my master bath, and I recently noticed the "floating" counter-top had pulled away from the wall 1/2" ... I assumed it just needed to be reattached more firmly with a couple more screws, but actually the back was still firmly attached to the wall, as it should be, and the sides of the cabinet were pulling away from the back ... the cabinet itself was literally coming apart, not simply detaching from the wall ... (BTW, I was the one who picked out the cabinets, not Wes) ... Wes' guys removed the entire cabinet and countertop

We used Wes and his Team to do a complete gut renovation on our home built in 1949. Wes was very easy to communicate with and met deadlines in a timely manner. His subs and foremen were amazing! As a woman, I was not sure about being on the construction site and if I would feel comfortable, but the workers were so nice, friendly and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to communicate with them. The house looks amazing! They transformed it from a dark and dingy house into a light, modern, open space, great for entertaining and living! The tile guy he used was amazing, the tile in our

Wes, re surfaced our balcony in Manhattan Beach and did a fantastic job. Wes understood exactly what we wanted to achieve, recommended the materials and tiles best suited for the beach/weather environment and explained every stage of the work process so we could make informed decisions and know exactly what to expect. His crew is hardworking and good at what they do. Wes is so honest and really takes his work personally, he has high standards and won't compromise on quality of his work. We highly recommend Wes for any building/remodel job. He is reliable, honest and a really nice person
