Meet the Owner
My name is Gars Edmisten and I am a licensed General Building Contractor and the owner of Edmisten Construction. We are based in Petaluma, CA and have been providing full phase construction services to the North Bay counties since 2007. Aside from working in the construction industry, I was a full time Police Officer with 24 years of service and retired from police service in 2014. I am also a combat veteran, Airborne Infantry paratrooper, who served proudly with the 82nd Airborne Division.
I believe trust is an important factor when working with a contractor and earning your trust is what I will strive for. I encourage you to research every contractor with the CSLB (Contractor State License Board), call referrals and ask to see proof of General Liability Insurance. We pride ourselves in the quality of craftsmanship and our attention to detail.
Our Process
A construction project typically begins with a consultation either in writing or by phone. A meeting is set up to go over the project and discuss your list of needs and wants. Measurements and photos will be taken of the project to assist in providing an estimate. If the estimate is accepted, another meeting is set up for the home owner, general contractor and drafter to take additional measurements and notes of the existing floorpan. If the project involves any structural work, a meeting with a structural engineer will be scheduled. Our professionals will draft a scaled floor plan on a CAD computer program showing an overview of the project, elevations, details of all trades involved and Title 24 Energy Reports.
If the project involves a kitchen, bathroom or laundry room remodel, an additional design is provided witch includes elevations of each wall where cabinets are to be installed. This additional design will also provide the cabinet, counter top, backsplash, flooring, lighting, plumbing fixture and appliance options. Once the project has been approved by the owner on paper, the scaled plans will be submitted for review to the local building department. Once the plans have been submitted to the local building department a detailed contract will be presented to the owner.
