Bielefield Construction Provides A Full Suite Of Contracting SERVICES.
What is a Service Business?
In short, A company that offers intangible items. Perhaps someone hires a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to do their taxes. The final product, completed taxes, is the service. Or it could be something as simple as hiring a singing group to give mom a singing telegram for her birthday; the singing group’s performance is a service. Service businesses can also provide functions that make life more comfortable or care for issues that people can not provide for themselves. For instance, medical care, home health, and housekeeping offer services that make life more comfortable and and sometimes even safer.
Another meaning of Service:
When a business owner says, “We provide service”, something else is meant and something else is expected. Bielefield Construction Inc. is your local General Contractor that provides SERVICE in a category of its own. When people need their home remodeled or are embarking on the journey that is a part of building a new home in Sonoma County, Bielefield Construction Inc. provides true SERVICE. From the creative spark needed to begin the project to “tying up all the loose ends” at the completion, they are right there with you providing just what you need, SERVICE.

Residential Construction
We are the experts in Sonoma County for residential construction. Before you proceed with any project, be sure to talk to the pros at Bielefield Construction Inc. to ensure you’re getting expert quality at a fair price.
Integrity
Perhaps the very first trait to look for in a general contractor is integrity. If they have it, they will never overcharge their customers and they’re always going to do the things they promise to do. They’re also always going to stand behind all aspects of the work that they are overseeing. It also means that they’ll quickly do whatever they can to rectify the inevitable confusion, mistakes or problems that are simply a part of such a complex project. They’ll also act responsibly and keep a clean and safe worksite.
Experience
Another important General Contractor trait that you want to look for is that of experience. They must have experience in basic repairs and from their all the way up to the design of and building of houses. Though most contractors will hire a subcontractors, they need to have the knowledge to assure any work done under their jurisdiction is done right so they must know how to do what they are hiring out. They’re the ones that are going to take the responsibility, schedule the work, and make sure all of the subcontractors are completing their given tasks in a timely manner and that they’re doing it to the highest quality level.
Reputation
If you’re happy with the service that you received, chances are that you’re going to tell everyone that you know that you were happy with the job. A professional’s reputation, including a general contractor, is going to be in direct proportion to how well they’ve done their service and work. The very best way for you to know about the reputation of a contractor is to talk to previous clients. Sonoma County is replete with past customers that will attest to the integrity and expertise.
Listening Skills
Because it’s going to be your house that is being remodeled or built, it’s important that you are being listened to. Tell your contractor the things that you want and the reasons you want them. It’s not their job to try convincing you that you should do it someway else. They should do it the way that you want. Yes, there are times when a homeowner wants something to be done that is cost-prohibitive or structurally impossible. But if that is the case, the contractor should be explaining the reason that they can’t do it. They then should offer something else that is going to work similarly.

Remodels, Renovations and Repairs
Renovations and remodels make up a large part of our portfolio. It’s important to have someone who understands the process and takes a proactive approach on your renovation project. Here are some characteristics of a good Remodeling, Renovating or Repairing Contractor to look for.
1) They treat your home as if it’s their own. They should not act like, “a bull in a china closet.” It is unnerving to have your private space invaded by a large, loud and intrusive team of builders. While there is no way around the mess and intrusion, Bielefield Construction Inc. understands this process and treats you and your property with respect and consideration.
2) They love to take pride in their work. People who love to work are called ERGOPHILES. But people who love to come along side you in your building project are called Bielefield Construction Inc. We even enjoy recording the process and completion of our projects with multiple pictures that allow us to share in the sense of accomplishment with you when your dream becomes reality.
3) They’re knowledgeable and experienced. There’s nothing like the quiet confidence of experience and knowledge when the inevitable challenges of a building project surface. You don’t want the persons in charge running helter-skelter in a panic. Bielefield Construction Inc. are local builders with a long list of satisfied customers that live where they do. We bring solutions and answers into a project with us.
4) They listen and take notes. Contractors have myriad numbers and schedules running through their minds at any given time. Nothing is more frustrating than to thoroughly explain an issue only to find that the person there with you is “elsewhere.” But, we at Bielefield Construction Inc. practice what Mind Tools calls “Active Listening.” This is where you make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, the complete message being communicated. Our primary purpose in entering into a building agreement with you is to facilitate your vision until it becomes reality.
We take the time to understand your vision make it a reality!
