What Our Clients Say
“Every detail was completed in a first class way. The high quality of work was evident in every part of this large remodel and new construction project. The attention to detail was shown by Sanford Havens and how he approached the project.”

“I have worked with Sanford on many projects over the years and always have the comfort of knowing that he is paying attention to the details and that I will be well taken care of. He is knowledgeable, easy to work with, honest, forthright and runs his jobs efficiently and in a timely manner.”

April 2019
“Sanford is rarely the low bidder on a project, but he has the drive to finish the work without delay, the means to finish it completely, and the ability to understand the technical content of the work. His workmanship is of a high caliber — time and money-saving factors.”

Craftsmanship
Founded in 1993 by Sanford Havens, Havens Construction has spent three decades building some of the Bay Area's most beautiful and complex custom homes. Our reputation is built on a simple principle: do the work right, every time.
Sanford personally oversees every project — arriving early, staying late, and maintaining the kind of hands-on involvement that only a true craftsman can provide. Our long-tenured crew and trusted network of subcontractors reflect the same commitment to quality.
