Lakefront Labor of Love in Country Club

Greg and his crew at Olah Construction built a beautiful, top quality lake home, and garage/guest house for us at Lake Almanor. Greg is extraordinarily easy and professional to work with. He always thoughtfully listened, presented the pros and cons of building concepts at every stage, and made sure we knew all our options. Greg was knowledgeable about all aspects of the project, from to design to build. He worked closely with our building designer to design the house and garage. It was a true team effort. One of Greg's greatest strengths was that he could work with everyone involved in a collaborative way to make sure the overall project would be exactly what we wanted. He ensured the design and quality of the project was top notch every step of the way. Many of Greg's ideas and suggestions contributed to the projects end result. The project spanned three years from the start of tearing down and rebuilding a garage/guest house, to tearing down and rebuilding the main house. Greg was able to plan and schedule work so we would never be without either the original house while the garage /guest house was being constructed, and then the garage/guest house while house construction was under way. Greg, along with all of Olah construction employees were courteous and professional, as were his subs. Greg was patient and adaptable to all changes and additions we made throughout the project. Greg's professionalism and attention to every detail, as well as his knowledge and pride in his work are reflected in our completed home.

"We first met Greg in 2005 when Olah Construction designed and built a deck for our family cabin. Over the next 12 years we continued to call on him for various home improvements and had nothing but positive experiences so when we decided to build a new home it was an easy choice to go with Greg. We could not be happier with this decision.
Greg patiently guided us through the many choices we needed to make with his extensive knowledge of construction and home design. He was always available to answer questions by phone, email, or text and to meet with us in person. Two years after home completion this continues—if we need anything he is there.
We found every one of Olah Construction employees and subcontractors to be courteous, hardworking, and experts in their field.
Ultimately, we ended up with a beautiful, high quality home that is perfectly suited for our family and has exceeded all of our expectations."

"When we decided to replace our summer cabin at Lake Almanor with our future retirement home, we interviewed several contractors. None seemed interested or had the knowledge to build the log home we had designed. By chance, we were referred to Greg at Olah Construction. After much hand holding and helping with the myriad decisions involved with building a new house, we are now living in our dream home. We would not hesitate to recommend Greg for any construction projects you might have." - Ron

"We have had several homes and commercial buildings built over the years and never have we had such a seamless and painless building experience as we did with Olah Construction. Often when the last nail is driven and the final payment is made, the contractor has disappeared - not so with Greg Olah. We have found Greg to be eager to correct the little things that go wrong with the construction of a new home; in fact, he has often pointed out corrections/repairs that needed attention that we hadn't noticed. He then jumps in and gets them done!
If we ever build a new structure in the Lake Almanor area, we will only have to make one call - Olah Construction." - R

My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Greg Olah of Olah Construction for making our dream home become a reality. Choosing Greg as our contractor was easy. He is very personable, easy to talk to, and listened to us about how we wanted our dream home to look. He went out of his way to show us similar homes to make us more confortable in understanding what our finished home might look like and to give us additional ideas. When we mentioned that we would have to hire an interior decorator he said that would not be necessary as that is what we were paying him for. He worked closely with our architect and us to ensure we were all on the same page and offered suggestions and design improvements before the final plans we printed. His recommendations were right on. Financially we had no surprises. Greg provided us with several cost projections that reflected different costs for grades and quality of materials and fixtures. He also cautioned us to allow for the inevitable additional costs that would exceed our original projections due to changes WE might make to the original design or upgrades WE might request. Greg was also invaluable in helping us keep our building costs under control. He made suggestion as to where we could get the best deals for things like appliances/fixtures, and accompanied us numerous times to help us choose the right counter tops and cabinets, etc. To take our anxiety out of the building process Greg made sure to give us ample time during each phase of the construction to research materials and fixtures before requiring a decision. The majority of time we would go with Greg’s recommendations after having spent many hours looking at our options. To us, Greg’s most famous phrase was “I will build what every you want but you may want to consider…”. This advice was invaluable. We were also impressed with Greg’s construction and painting crew who were highly skilled. They were conscientious to detail and treated building our home as if it were their own.
The bottom line is that Greg made our dream home come true. we are exceptionally please with the final results and he exceeded all of our expectations. Lastly, Greg stands behind his work and will answer questions and help in any way he can even after the home is built. Lonny and MaryAnne

Lakefront Transformation In Country ClubGreg is a true professional in so many ways. Not only is he a general contractor, but he is a creative contractor. He did not just “construct” our remodel. He analyzed all visual aspects of the project. Many times he would call to discuss a problem with the design that he felt was just not pleasing. As I had so much trust in his sense of design, I would tell him to proceed. His suggestions helped me make many difficult decisions. He was very patient.
I have worked with other contractors in my long life, but Greg is far superior. The quality of his construction is outstanding. If I had another remodel, I would not hesitate to have Greg on my team!

Olah Construction and working with Greg has been an excellent experience from start to finish. We went from a barren lakefront lot to a beautifully finished home in 2020 with Greg helping us every step of the way. He gave us recommendations for locating a top architect, he worked very closely with the architect during design to make sure things turned out right, built the home, then connected us with the one of the top local landscapers to finish it off.
Built the home, that’s Greg’s strength. He is well connected with many years of experience building solid strong working relationships with vendors, builders, tradespeople throughout the West to get the finest products and services. He follows the plans closely, consults us and the architect if some alternative might look better, the best choices to build the best house. A rare added bonus is Greg’s artistic side, a natural talent with colors and finishes. He has an innate ability to know what would look especially interesting, what makes a room pop, what subtle option makes a house go from wonderful to wow.
Workers Olah Construction uses go above and beyond; they are proud of their work. They are not simply workers building houses, they are true craftsmen. The detailed finishes in the homes he builds require woodworkers and finishers that have a higher skillset. The electrician knows the latest technology for wiring internet, remote connectivity, exterior cameras, Tesla garage charger. It is not by chance homes built by Greg look exceptional, it is the high level of attention to detail by every craftsperson he hires, start to finish, that creates an outstanding custom home.
Many people are repeat customers with Olah Construction, that does not happen by chance, there are a lot of options out there. It is the high-quality work, the attention to detail, a shaved dovetail here, a curved miter cut there, to even lining up the screws of the electrical plugs to be up and down throughout the house. Careful, thoughtful, artistic, functional, all done on time within budget. Plus, he is responsive by phone, text, email. He met with us every time we were in town and is pleasant to work with. He gets the job done.
Exceptional, easy, elegant. These words apply to Olah Construction and the high-quality work he and his team produce.
