Sunshine Construction built my house 22 years ago. It was the first house that Jon had built from the ground up. His remodeling expertise was evident in the finish work, and the house blends in well in a neighborhood where the other houses were built in the 1920s.

I am an architect and have worked with Sunshine Construction many times over the course of twenty-five years and they are always my first choice if they are available. Jon's skills at job management, his dedication to green building principles, and his pleasant persona are unsurpassed in a contractor, or in a human being, for that matter.

This was a cutting edge deep green house which was completed on time and on budget. Jon was easy to work with, and always up front about budget choices when the inevitable changes occurred (which considering how innovative the house was at the time were surprisingly few).

Sunshine Construction has built quite a number of our projects over the years, including the widely published Sproull-Radke Green-Roof Garage/Workshop.
