Steve Howard has been working in the field of construction and contracting for most of his life. A Los Gatos resident for over 30 years, he learned his trade apprenticing to his father, a builder and developer. Steve worked initially as a framer and a concrete structural worker and progressed to working in all aspects of his trade hands on. He progressed to working in management on larger and more challenging residential and commercial development projects with a focus on high quality residential construction. His depth of experience, both in quality construction techniques  combined with the cost effective approach learned in project development make for a winning combination.

Steve has a willingness to collaborate and work with his clients concepts and lifestyle requirements to produce beautiful homes with an exquisite sense of detail. He enjoys and appreciates the value of working together with others, he feels that a project that collaborates with an interior designer's input at the planning stage really adds to a home's aesthetics and quality.

One of his specialties is the rebuilding and renewing of historical residences of the area. He has a love for  Craftsman and Spanish style homes and all vintage and post modern styles of California and takes great pleasure in restoring and preserving these homes for clients. Steve also loves applying the current design sense of restructuring open floor plans into older homes, creating the greatrooms with central hearths that are essential to the way we live today. Steve also has a love for pets and understands how to build a dog and cat friendly home.
