Home Healing Renovations, Inc. is a Berkeley-based Design + Build remodeling company that serves residential homeowners throughout the East Bay. The company provides complete renovation services that include concept ideas, budget allocating, design and construction. Home Healing Renovations specializes in kitchen and bathroom remodeling, whole home renovations, and additions.
In addition to its traditional construction capabilities, Home Healing Renovations is certified in Green building and permaculture design, which enables it to take a sustainable approach on every job. Owner Jason Johnson says this versatility allows the company to find solutions to all types of construction problems. “Finding the right way to meet a customer’s goals while remaining within their budget and schedule is almost an art form. Ultimately, we strive to utilize our wide-ranging skills to create environments of beauty, balance and harmony.”
For Home Healing Renovations, the key to achieving and maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction is simple: work closely with its clients to successfully turn their construction ideas into reality. “We believe that in order to make our customers happy, it’s crucial to be attentive and learn what they actually want,” says Mr. Johnson. “Furthermore, every aspect of every project, from the written estimate to the onsite performance, should reflect a genuine commitment to helping the client end up with the project of their dreams.”
“We’re committed to providing excellence throughout every step of every project. Whether building a new ADU or an addition, restoring a damaged home, or moving forward with the remodel of your dreams, we want our clients to be happy with the results of our work for many years to come.”
If you’re taking on a remodeling project, consider the benefits of Green building.
While it started on the fringes of the construction industry, Green building has gradually gained widespread regard as an alternative approach to remodeling, largely due to concurrent increases in government regulation, consumer concern and industry innovation. According to Jason Johnson, owner of Home Healing Renovations in Berkeley, this is particularly true of the Bay Area. “People in the Bay Area are more willing to put their money where their values are,” he says. “It’s also easy to access sustainable materials, which isn’t the case in other parts of the United States.”
While conscientious consumers were once limited in their remodeling product choices, the expansive variety of options available today means they don’t have to sacrifice style for integrity. “In the past, consumers had to choose between aesthetics and ethics because there weren’t as many options with sustainable materials,” explains Mr. Johnson. “Now, people are able to get the look they want for their project and also feel comfortable with its impact on their health and the environment. It’s becoming more of a win-win situation—one where consumers don’t need to compromise in order to uphold their values.”
Another benefit that consumers are seeing is a gradual decline in the costs associated with Green building. “While Green building is generally more expensive than traditional construction, as the market becomes more competitive, sustainable materials are becoming more affordable,” says Mr. Johnson.
While some sceptics call it a trend, Mr. Johnson says the recent popularity of Green building stems from genuine concerns about important issues. “There’s a lot more awareness today about the impact construction materials and practices can have, which is why the industry is finally starting to address these things on a wider scale. One major area of concern is health ramifications. People want to make sure the materials and products they use in their homes aren’t going to have a negative effect on their families.”
Consumers are also concerned about the environmental impact of their construction projects. “At some point in the future, every part of a home is going to be recycled, composted or put into a landfill, so it’s important to consider the long-term environmental consequences of your remodeling project,” says Mr. Johnson. “Sustainable materials are also a concern—more and more consumers want to know where their materials are coming from and if they were sustainably harvested.”
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect of any business, but it's even more important for Green building and remodeling contractors that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For Home Healing Renovations Inc., the key to achieving and maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction is simple: work closely with its clients to successfully turn their construction ideas into reality. "We believe that in order to make our customers happy, it's crucial to be attentive and learn what they actually want," says owner Jason Johnson. "Furthermore, every aspect of every project, from the written estimate to the onsite performance, should reflect a genuine commitment to helping the client end up with the project of their dreams and a deeply satisfying experience with the construction process."
Home Healing Renovations has been providing construction and remodeling services for residential and commercial clients in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties since 2009. The company's primary focus is large residential rehabilitation multi-room remodels and full design-build projects, but it's also qualified to perform renovation work like structural improvement services; seismic retrofitting; foundation replacement; and remediation of water damage, dry rot, decay, and mold.
Unlike less experienced contractors that take a hands-off approach to interacting with their clients during the construction process, Home Healing Renovations emphasizes clear communication throughout every step of every project. "Finding the right way to meet a customer's goals while remaining within their budget and schedule is an art form," says Mr. Johnson. "What we offer our clients is a thorough, customer-centered, holistic approach to the construction process. Ultimately, we strive to utilize our wide-ranging skills to create environments of beauty, balance and harmony."
This service-oriented approach to every aspect of its work is another distinguishing attribute of Home Healing Renovations. "We take the time to determine the best ways to care for our customers," says Mr. Johnson. "By choosing high-caliber people for our team and imparting to them the importance of customer service, we're able to provide our clients with both quality finished products and gratifying overall experiences."
