FR Review:
Clients paint Richard Holz as an absolutely extraordinary contractor with a "soft touch." His small, enormously respected firm has over 40 years of quality work behind it and some of the best word-of-mouth in LA. Today, the company focuses on new construction of high-end, multi-million dollar residences and selected renovation projects. Holz, a licensed architect, is said to tap his roots in design to work closely with architects, taking the extra time to execute the nuances of their work, from Cape Cod to contemporary. Architects admire Holz as much for his conceptual solutions as his technical ones, and clients admire him for entertaining a variety of choices. The firm may be enlisted for design/build.
We're told Holz is a "nuts-and-bolts guy" who displays a "depth of involvement" with homeowners that corporate contractors just can't match. Clients marvel that "there's no job he's not on every day." He manages five supers and views himself as a broker of subs, buying flexibility and enlisting the appropriate craftsman for the appropriate task. Clients describe him as honest and organized, while tradespeople say "he is one of the nicest contractors to work for," with a calm and respectful approach that designers tell us "makes people work all the harder for him." The overall atmosphere Holz fosters improves both the experience and the finished product.
Clients rave that Holz offers one of the best blends of speed, quality and pricing in LA. The firm works on a cost-plus basis with standard overhead and profit, and can be hired for preconstruction services for a flat price per month.
Representative Client Comments:
"Rick has time for the small things. He sweats the small stuff." "As good as anyone in LA." "Treats people around him with equal respect." "Wears the striped shirt and balances between all the players." "Not many owners of big GCs are as involved." "He's got honesty and integrity, and no one can beat him on scheduling." "Brings a strong design side to the equation." "Excellent man. Built several homes for me over the years." "Fantastic execution with the conscience of a Boy Scout. Very well respected."
