Three Simple Steps to Construction & Your Home’s Transformation
How We Keep Your Project On Track While Others Drop The Ball
01
Plan & Design Your Space
Let’s kick things off with a real conversation about your space—no pressure, no sales pitch. You’ll walk us through what’s not working, we’ll share ideas that have worked for others, and we’ll take measurements, snap photos, and actually listen. By the end, you’ll have a clear picture of what we can do and how we’ll bring your vision to life.
02
Clear Numbers & Timeline
Remember that contractor who disappeared after the estimate? That’s not us. We’ll give you a detailed quote that actually makes sense, breaking down every cost so you know where your money’s going. We’ll build a clear timeline, set milestones, and lock in start and end dates. Want to break it into phases? Need it done fast? We’ve got you covered.
03
Execute & Communicate
We'll send daily updates with photos (just ask our recent clients), show up when we say we will, and keep your property clean throughout. You'll see real progress every day, know exactly what's happening next, and have direct access to our team for any questions. Before you know it, you'll be showing off your transformed space to envious neighbors.
We Offer Flexible Payment Option

Worried About Timeline & Budget Blowouts?
Let's be real - most contractors are terrible at sticking to schedules. But here's the thing: when we say 5 weeks, we mean 5 weeks (just ask our customers). We map every project detail before we start, give you clear cost breakdowns, and keep you updated daily. No mystery delays, no surprise bills, no excuses. You'll know exactly what's happening and when.
Think Good Contractors Are Impossible to Find?
Tired of no-shows, unanswered calls, and shoddy work? Our team actually shows up when we say we will, answers your texts and calls promptly, and treats your home like it's our own. We're not just builders - we're project managers who keep everything on track. Plus, you'll get daily photo updates so you can see exactly what's happening (even when you're not home).
Afraid of Construction Chaos?
Nobody wants their home feeling like a construction zone forever. That's why we protect your space like it's our own, clean up daily (not just at the end), and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your life. Our crews are professional, respectful, and actually care about your property. Most clients tell us it was way easier than they expected - some even miss us when we're done.

Our Reputation Speaks for Itself
Great experience! I hired Elusive Construction to do the siding on my house (removal of old siding, replace with Hardie board). I was kept updated on all progress with texts and pictures, they did a very professional job, included some custom gingerbread trim. Would absolutely recommend Alfredo and his team
Jackie Cormier
I can’t say enough good things about Alfredo and his company. They did a wonderful job on my remodel. He said it would be 5 weeks and it was. Each week and daily I got a progress reports. The workers were skilled, polite, neat and helpful. Problems were solved quickly and creatively. Everyone connected with this project took pride in their work. The price was very reasonable for the work involved. I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to others.
Marsha Weil
Alfredo and Carlos were very professional. They were always on time,returning calls and knowledgeable from start to finish. I recommend Elusive Construction. Call Alfredo
Lucky Boy
Thank you very much for your service Alfred. You did a good job in doing my patio. It really Looks great and I enjoy with my family. Highly recommended
glenda b. salazar
You really have to trust a contractor when it comes to your home. The site visit was it for us! Alfredo showed up to our home for the first time and he explained everything we needed to know to protect our home. During construction the communication didn’t stop. Alfredo and his team always showed up on time and kept the construction site tidy. We recommend Elusive construction for your construction project.
Chachi Ramirez
We worked with Ivan and his team about 6 years ago, and after that great experience we recently had them gut another bathroom for us. I cannot say enough about their work and professionalism. They give an honest estimate quickly and are very clear and reasonable about any additional expenses that arise as the walls get opened and reality becomes more visible. They take one job at a time, so while we had to wait a while to get them into our house, particularly during the pandemic, it was well worth it. Ivan and Vicente showed up on time every day, kept our home in immaculate condition during the entirety of the project, and were an absolute pleasure to work with. You never have to worry about them disappearing for a week in the middle of your project in order to start another. Their years of experience mean there are no surprises, and they are happy to talk through possible solutions. They are very reasonably priced, but the experience and the results are better than many contractors who are asking more. I could go on and on. If you're looking for a contractor, Elusive the place to start.

Excellent attention to detail, since the first site visit I was sure that I could count on elusive construction for showing up on time and providing me with all the information to understand what to expect through the construction process.
Jobani Lozano
Without a doubt I recommend the services of Elusive Construction, Ivan proved to be very professional with my project from start to finish and helped me choose the materials that best suited me. Thank you very much Ivan.
