Peter Van Gaale & Sons Construction provided high quality work with an expedited schedule at a competitive cost in our modest commercial remodel project. Their ability to work around an operating business enterprise and its customers was always courteous, timely and cooperative. We would not hesitate to use them again.

HONEST, RELIABLE and KNOWLEDGABLE...is what comes to mind when I describe Paul and Jan Van Gaale. They have been our go to builders whenever we need extensive work done on our home. They completely rehabbed our garage into a great utilizing area with custom cabinetry that is the envy of the neighborhood. They also rehabbed two of our bathrooms that we totally redesigned with their expertise and knowledge. I would never hesitate to use them again and again and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to build a home from the ground up or just in need of a remodel.

We moved to the Temecula area in 1979. At that time, the freeway sign stating the population, read 220. I have no doubt it was really more than that, but the point I’m going for is that in those days, everyone knew everyone!

Peter Van Gaale was among those we became acquainted with shortly after our arrival. The Van Gaale name has always been associated with quality and value. Sadly, Peter passed away suddenly in 2004. His sons Paul and Jan have carried on the business with all the great qualities that Pete had established. He taught his sons well.

In 2007, Paul and Jan remodeled our garage into a game room and added a new garage with a loft and balcony over it.

They were wonderful to work with. They communicated on every level so we were never left wondering where we stood… what the next step in the construction process would be, to who was coming and when to expect them. All subcontractors they brought onboard were always superior. They, just like their Dad, over the years, worked with the best…tried and true…not just anyone.

Whenever the job required an inspection by a building inspector, the inspector would ask my husband who the contractor was. When he would tell them it was the Van Gaales, the inspector would say, ”Oh, I don’t have to even inspect this because they do everything right!” (they still would of course)

We’re totally pleased with the garage and loft. It doesn’t look like an addition at all, which was of great concern to us when we started the project.

A few years later, in 2012, Paul and Jan remodeled our kitchen, a total gut job. Again, they were wonderful to work with. The kitchen is a joy to behold. So many decisions had to be made to coordinate its creation, but the boys handled it in such a manner that it all went seamlessly. The cabinets that Jan built are so beautiful.

The cherry on top for the kitchen was that Jan built a table for me out of old recycled wood. He’s a master craftsman of woodworking. All mortise and tenon joinery was used in its construction. It’s truly an object of art. The table is beyond awesome. Everyone comments on how beautiful it is.

The Van Gaales then removed and rebuilt our front porch. It was slanted towards the house, which was not ideal when it rained. They did an amazing job.

Just last year Jan installed a new front door for us. Again, perfection!

Peter Van Gaale & Sons have been wonderful to work with and their resulting creations have been more than I could have ever wished for. I view them as my adopted sons and rather miss them when they’re not working on a project.

Let’s see what can be “fixed” next!

Dear, Paul & Jan

I am writing this letter to thank you and your company Peter Van Gaale & Sons Construction for the outstanding job you did on our new business office remodel. The finished job is spectacular. During the couple months of the project your company demonstrated diligence and dedication to completing the work in a timely, professional manner, while working within our budget. You guys worked hard to accommodate all the changes & needs throughout this project and had no problems adapting to the challenges that come with a remodel of that magnitude.

All Around Rock Supply could not be happier with the work you did for us and would not hesitate to refer Peter Van Gaale & Sons to other organizations who are in need of your quality services.

Please feel free to give my name as a reference for any prospective clients who wish to speak to me directly about your work or company.

Sincerely, Chris Smith, Owner

In 2007, after interviewing several construction companies I hired Pete Van Gaale and Sons Construction Company. The job included a total gut of our original house, an addition and full remodel while keeping a pool running in the back yard. Electricity and water could never be completely down. I am a perfectionist and I expect the same from others. The Van Gaale’s were up for the challenge. Timeliness, attention to detail, communication, and cleanliness were key for this rebuild to be successful. The Van Gaale crew kept to their build schedule as well as the day to day arrival of the crew. Paul and Jan do not tolerate mediocre work. There were a few instances were sub-contractors redid portions of their work which did not meet the “Van Gaale Standard”. Their attention to detail cannot be ignored. I was consulted for every choice from how many outlets were needed in the kitchen to trim on the stain on cabinets. Cleanliness of the job site was a must as we lived part time at the property because of the pool and livestock on site. The crew did a great job keeping the mess corralled so neither human nor animal would be harmed. My home was completed in 2009. It is my sanctuary. I love the warmth of the dark wood floors and cabinetry. I wanted a classic rustic/ western feel and the Van Gaale’s delivered.

Thank You to Paul, Jan, Hinney and the rest of the Van Gaale Family

Sincerely,
Charlene McNeel

Contractor selection

We asked the manager of the bank with which we deal for a list of recommended building contractors we might consider for building our new home.   We received very positive comments on each contractor on the list with one comment about Peter Van Gaale & Sons Construction Inc. that was both exceptional and remarkable. In the 20 years of overseeing numerous construction projects by a variety of contractors the manager commented that he had never heard a single complaint voiced against Peter Van Gaale & Sons.  

Our project:

Architect designed home for two families.
5,900 square feet house.
Two master suites – 6 bedrooms total
One year of construction

Our thoughts after completion of our project

  • Craftsmanship throughout the project was remarkable. We found not a single item in the project lacking excellent craftsmanship.
  • The final cost of the house was within budget.
  • Time line projections for the multiple phases of our construction project were completed within the time lines projected.
  • Information and support to bridge our lack of experience in construction, and the real world of constructing a new house, were supplied like we were best friends by Paul and Jan Van Gaale.
  • We experienced not a single serious disagreement about any part of the project during construction.

Future Projects

Should we decide to build another new house in the future, based on our experience with the Van Gaales, and our confidence in their honesty and integrity, we will award them the contract without putting the project out to bid.

Our Recommendation

Honesty, integrity, craftsmanship…20 years without a complaint. We recommend Peter Van Gaale & Sons Construction Inc. without reservation.
