Client Success Stories: Hear What Our Clients Say
Dan Brennan and the team at Westhaven just completed a $4 million new build of a performing arts venue for our non-profit theater company.
They were more than a general contractor, they were part of our team. They brought creative ideas to every element to help us to stay in budget during rampant inflation, their administrative management was real time and comprehensive to make sure we always knew where we stood financially, and they self performed a number of elements to ensure high quality workmanship. The team was always professional, pleasant to work with, and conscientious. Dan invests himself in the project and treats it like it is his own. That makes a real difference. Thoroughly enjoyed the process and would work with Westhaven again in a heartbeat.
