What we do
Design and build,
under one roof.
Most remodels lose something in the handoff between the person who drew it and the person who built it. Here there is no handoff.
Architectural Design
Plans drawn around how you actually live, resolved to the level of detail a crew can build from without guessing.
Interior Design
Rooms composed for daylight, proportion and the way you move through them. Finishes chosen as one palette, not one decision at a time.
Kitchen Remodeling
The room that carries the house. Planned around storage, sightlines and the work you actually do in it.
Bathroom Remodeling
Quiet materials and careful waterproofing, detailed so the room still reads well in ten years.
Custom Homes
Ground up residential construction, held to a single standard from the footings to the final coat.
Home Additions
New square footage that reads as though the house was always this size.
ADUs
Independent living space that works as a guest suite, a rental or a quiet place to work.
Whole Home Remodeling
A full renovation, sequenced so the house comes back better than it started rather than merely newer.
Commercial Construction
Tenant improvements and build outs delivered on a schedule your business can plan around.
Residential and commercial work across Orange County, from a single room to a house built from the ground up.
Selected work
A hillside estate,
taken back to its frame.
New foundations, a new pool, a steel stringer stair and a rebuilt timber roof, on a property that looks out over the water.
The part you never see
Finishes are easy
to photograph.
Structure is not.
Anyone can hang a beautiful tile. What decides whether a home still feels right in fifteen years is what happened before the drywall went on. The footings, the framing, the way a stair is hung, the way a roof is set.
That is the work Grand Haven cares most about, and it is the reason design and build sit under one roof here.
Schedule a consultationStructure first
The part that decides
everything after it.
A beam arrives on a flatbed, a crane sets it, and a wall that could never have been opened becomes an opening onto the water. Everything you eventually see is standing on what happens at this stage.
Engineering, permits and structural work are carried under the same roof as the design, so the drawing and the steel agree before anything is lifted.
How it runs
Nine steps,
in this order.
A remodel goes wrong in the gaps between stages. This is the sequence we hold to on every project, and you will always know which step you are in.
- 01
Consultation
We start with your goals, your site and your budget, and give you an honest read on all three before anything is drawn.
- 02
Concept Development
Ideas become a direction. Layout, massing and the feel of the finished rooms, while changes still cost nothing.
- 03
Architecture
Drawings resolved to the detail a crew can build from, so decisions are made on paper rather than on site.
- 04
Interior Design
Finishes, fixtures, lighting and millwork selected together, as one composition.
- 05
Permits
We prepare the submittals and carry them through plan check, and we tell you plainly what the timeline looks like.
- 06
Material Selection
Every material specified, priced and approved before it is ordered. No surprises arriving on a truck.
- 07
Construction
One crew, one schedule and a site kept in order, because how a job is run shows up in how it finishes.
- 08
Quality Control
Work inspected at every stage rather than only at the end, while it is still easy to put right.
- 09
Completion
Final walkthrough, punch list closed, and the house handed back the way it was promised.
From above
The same frame,
from the air.
On the ground you see stages. Footings, steel, framing. From the air you see them become one home.
Why Grand Haven
What you are actually
hiring us for.
One point of accountability
Design and construction sit with the same team, so there is nobody to point at when something needs solving.
Communication you never chase
You will know what happened on your house this week and what happens next. Silence is not part of the service.
Craft in the parts you cannot see
Framing, waterproofing and substrate decide whether a beautiful finish is still beautiful in a decade.
Project management as a discipline
Trades, deliveries and inspections sequenced so the schedule is something you can plan a life around.
Specified, never improvised
Materials are priced and approved before they are ordered, so the budget you agreed to is the budget you keep.
Built for the long term
Detailing chosen so the house still looks considered long after the last invoice is paid.
Who you will be working with
Every project runs
through one person.
Grand Haven Builders is led by Parvin Abdollahi. The person who sits with you over the first sketch is the same person accountable when the last piece of trim goes on.
That continuity is the whole point. Nothing is lost in translation between the drawing and the site, because the work never changes hands. It is also why the planning is thorough before anything is demolished, and why you hear from us on a schedule rather than only when there is a problem.

Our promise
Your home should be built once, and built properly.
A renovation asks a lot of you. Disruption, expense, and a great deal of trust placed in people you have only just met.
What makes it worth it is a plan you understand, a team that answers the phone, and work that still holds up long after the last invoice is paid.
That is the standard Grand Haven holds itself to, on a single room and on a whole house alike.
