Going through all of the earliest stages of our actual design development, the ongoing process of drawings--the bureaucracy of permitting, and especially during construction, your wonderful and easy ability to communicate and help us understand the entire house building process--you and your crew’s efforts are more than greatly appreciated. I wake up every day pinching myself-as we truly have built our “Dream Home”! Dan and I believe that no one else could have built our house!

Your expertise in construction design /management created a perfect recipe for success in our 16,000 sq. ft. renovation project. Your Supervisory staff and sub contractors were all very professional, and were on the job every day until completion. I must say being a licensed General Contractor myself; I was pleased in all aspects of your design and build planning. Your attendance at our internal meeting was very helpful during the project. The membership was pleased with our project, and as you know, being on budget, and making the time line was crucial.

John Hanley and his team demoed our 2300 square foot house in Malibu and built a wonderful new contemporary 7300 square foot house and adjoining guest house. What we liked most about John and his team is he is reliable and good natured and actually is on his back hoe and wielding a hammer instead of sitting in a trailer bidding what he hopes to be his next job. He doesn't even need a trailer!

We have a saying around our house when construction needs to be done, “What would Johnny do?”. Mr. Hanley has done many projects for our family over the years and it has always been a fun and creative experience. No job has been too big or too small for the hardworking and positive team at Cantona. The best part is John Hanley is a hands on contractor that was involved in every step of our projects.

Your creative ideas and calm approach to problem solving added enormous value to my remodeling project. I am happy when I look around at our work completed and could not have been taken care of any better. Your crews were always on time and always left our site clean and comfortable.

I’ve come to understand how crucial it is to find an honest and fair General Contractor. We hired our first contractor who turned out to be less than honest and demonstrated very little progress. Luckily for us John Hanley was recommended by a family friend who lived in the area and had most of his home built by John. We could immediately sense John’s honesty. I’ve been working with John and his crew for over a year now and I’m sure he will get us to the finish line.

Dear John, I wanted to thank you for getting my project done. I am enjoying the trellises that you constructed for me at the 3 different locations on my property. Your crew did a great job and friends and family have complimented me on numerous occasions. I thought I would pass that along to you. I also wanted to say that your crew was very good. They were timely, cleaned up at the end of every day and were generally respectful of the property. It was a pleasure dealing with you, your timing, pricing and courtesy were spot on. I would be glad to recommend you to anyone. Thank you.

After a bedroom and bathroom at our home had significant flood damage from a break in the city mains, John and his crew at Cantona did an amazing repair job. John essentially rebuilt two rooms from scratch, including flooring, walls, closets and an entire shower. In addition, John’s advice regarding structural repairs to prevent any future issues were invaluable. Most importantly, John is the most honest and trustworthy person I have encountered in the construction business. I would recommend him highly.
