History and Background

Carmel California in the year 1979, John W. Fitzpatrick founded Caribou Construction Company with a passion to promote a more disciplined and conscientious alternative approach to generally accepted construction practices available on the Monterey Peninsula at that time. The goal was (and is) to offer a significantly higher level of building integrity & craftsmanship at a fair price; and to raise the bar over customer expectations, working together with the community's finest hand-selected sub-contract partners to benefit our clients with a measurably better product.

Fitzpatrick realized early on that in order to maintain the consistency of outstanding workmanship throughout each phase of construction, it is not only of paramount importance to seek out and cultivate strong relationships with the very best craftsmen available; but more importantly, it is absolutely essential to closely monitor & directly supervise the day to day interactions of such carpenters, masons, plumbers, electricians, plasterers, roofers and painters alike, in the orchestration & performance of our craft. It is in fact this very in-depth knowledge & understanding of all trades associated with our work, that enables us to produce the higher level of quality construction this company has built its reputation upon; as well as to cultivate the confidence & assurance our clients truly gain, knowing their finished project will exhibit a substantially greater level of noticeable professionalism, which has been shown to fare measurably better through the tests of time.

"We hired Caribou Construction to make some improvements on a recently-purchased house. We were in need of very high quality workmanship and Caribou was recommended to us by a designer who felt only John and his crew were up to the task. We hired Caribou and the results were outstanding. Their meticulous attention to detail and the quality of their work was superior to anything we've ever experienced. Caribou is the only construction company we would call for future home improvement needs." Nancy Shanley
