I cannot say enough great things about Michael Constantine and his team at Crown Reconstruction Services. From the very first consultation to the final walkthrough, every step of the process was handled with professionalism, care, and an impressive level of expertise.
We hired Crown to handle our roof and roof deck, and the results are absolutely stunning. The craftsmanship is second to none — every detail was executed with precision, from the flawless installation of the roofing materials to the beautiful finish work on the deck. It's clear that Michael and his crew take tremendous pride in their work, and it shows in every single aspect of the finished product.
Communication throughout the project was excellent. Michael kept us informed at every stage, answered every question we had, and made sure we felt completely comfortable and confident in the process. The crew was punctual, respectful of our property, and left the job site spotless each day.
Our roof deck has completely transformed our home. It's now one of our favorite spaces, and we receive compliments on it constantly. We truly could not be happier with the outcome.
If you are looking for a construction company that delivers outstanding quality, unmatched craftsmanship, and a seamless experience from start to finish — look no further than Crown Construction. Michael Constantine and his team are the absolute best in the business. We will not hesitate to call them again for any future projects, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for work done right.

Crown Reconstruction Services did an excellent job on a large and complex project at our house in Laguna Beach. Wood rot had severely damaged major structural posts, beams, and joists that supported an entire side of our house on two levels. Rot had also compromised the posts and struts supporting two large cantilevered decks. The repairs were further complicated by the location of our house on caissons on an extremely steep hill, which required the construction of extensive scaffolding to ensure safe access to the damaged areas. We selected Crown because they had the experience and expertise to undertake a job of this scope, and because we were able to speak to several people who had recently hired them to do similar work and who were very pleased with the results.
Prior to making a bid, Crown did a thorough assessment of the problems. After walking the area twice, they partially dismantled some siding and panels to expose some of the most damaged areas and reviewed the damage with a structural engineer. They then submitted a detailed plan for addressing the issues, which included replacing the damaged structural elements and rebuilding the two decks to contemporary code. The damage turned out to be much more extensive than was visible in the initial inspection, but when new problems were exposed Crown showed us the issue and explained what would be required to address it before the work was done.
At every step along the way, the work Crown did was first-rate. Structural repairs were photographed as they were completed and before they were covered by the new siding and other exterior surfaces, giving us a detailed record of the work. All additional work was reviewed by the structural engineer before they began, and he then inspected and signed off on it after they were completed. All exposed repairs and new construction (siding, deck surfaces, flashing, etc.) matched or complemented the original architectural design of the house, and the fit and finish of the new work was meticulous inside and out.
Crown does all aspects of reconstruction with its own crews, which facilitated coordination across the various stages of the project. The project supervisor was on site every day, and membership of the work teams remained consistent for the duration of the job. We lived in the house during the whole time, and the workers were always as quiet as possible, courteous, and considerate. The worksite was kept clean, and they warned us when an especially disruptive event was to occur (such as jacking up the side of the house to install new beams and posts). They were also careful to cover openings in the exterior wall when they had to be left open overnight or the weekends. It rained heavily at several points during the project, and we never had any leaks or other problems with water or wind. On one occasion toward the end of the project, we had planned a large family gathering for a holiday, and Crown rearranged its work-plan so we would be able to use one of the decks for that event before the deck was completely finished.
Crown obtained all necessary permits and scheduled the required inspections by the city, including additional steps related to our location in a high-risk fire zone. That process went smoothly once work started. All costs were described and documented in detail, both in the original contract and for the additional work associated with the hidden damage. We are highly satisfied with Crown’s work and would recommend them to anyone considering a similar project.

I am extremely happy and impressed with Crown. After years of dealing with a leaking deck and paying various contractors and repair people to not actually fix the problems, I decided to get serious and not nickel and dime it any more. I gathered many bids, and the quotes were all over the map. Michael at Crown was recommended to me by a friend who is a building inspector. When I contacted him he looked at my deck and said that he could not give me an accurate bid without seeing what was actually going on beneath all the concrete and stucco. How could anyone give an accurate bid otherwise? He carefully cut grooves in the bottom that would be useful to insert vents if all was well (which should have been installed in the first place) and found that the dry rot had rendered the deck dangerous. He gave me a bid that was not on the cheap side but my architect advised me that it was fair and to hire him. I couldn't be happier with the quality of every step of the process including great personal relationships with all the in-house employees, from the top down. Every step was meticulously planned, communicated and carried out and the finished deck is beautiful and solid as a ship. If you want to confidently do it right the first time and have your problem truly disappear, use this company. I will in the future when other issues arise.

After having a very positive experience with Crown Reconstruction rebuilding our chronically leaking Laguna Beach deck (impeccable quality work - not a single hint of leakage since) we chose Crown to do our dream kitchen and dining room remodel. Crew and subs were all top notch and the results exceeded our expectations. New windows, smooth stucco work, custom cabinets, flooring, countertops, appliance install and all associated carpentry-plumbing-electrical work were performed precisely as we had designed. No unnecessary delays or questionable cost overruns. Any adjustments or glitches were promptly addressed and we were left completely satisfied and without a dangling punch list of things left to do.
