Qualifications, Experience and Philosophy

Our Commitment:

• Affordable Excellence
• Exceptional Designs
• First-Rate Service
• Quality Materials
• Meticulous Workmanship

Starting during my earlier school years, I was educated in the home building and remodeling business by my father, who was a prolific home builder and chairman of the Home Builders’ Association of Worcester County, Massachusetts. He had a strong interest in teaching me this technology and my success in design and construction was made possible by this early education.

My first apprenticeship training was between 1958 and 1964, at which time I had practical experience after school and during school vacations under my father's tutelage. I worked with tile men, painters, etc. By 1965, applications became second nature to the point where I went into my own business.

From 1965 to 1969 I was a ceramic tile and floor covering contractor. Work performed was mostly residential, but I also did some commercial jobs—for example, a fifty-unit apartment building, which included all-ceramic-tile baths, kitchen floors and carpeting throughout. From this experience, I became knowledgeable about bathrooms and started specializing in bathroom design and remodeling, eventually doing some very fine projects.

By the end of 1969, my affinity for the home remodeling business had increased to the point where I decided to change my method of operation by putting more emphasis on design. While continuing in my own business, I apprenticed under a number of architects over the years and became known as a highly qualified designer, experienced in interior and exterior construction.

Since then, my business has expanded and I’m now performing mostly artistic and interesting construction and home remodeling jobs for clients who appreciate a superbly finished product. The experience and aesthetic ability I have gained is being expressed, along with input from other professionals. I have been told our designs represent excellence in every detail because of the close communication we have with each client.

We have our own team of craftsmen to do the work, who have been with us for years, and also competent licensed subcontractors to handle some specialty trades, who have also been with us for years, thus enabling us to handle every aspect of a complete job as needed—for instance, custom house planning and design, foundations, plumbing, carpentry, electrical, heating and air conditioning, drywall, plaster, granite, tile work, mirrors, paint and wallpaper, all finishings and cleanup—whether it be an entire installation in a new location or a remodel of an existing space.

I have extensive experience with complete home remodels—usually requiring the installation of bathrooms and kitchens—as well as with room additions and second-story additions that maintain exterior continuity. I'm also proud to mention that I hold a certificate from the Boarman School of Kitchen Design and have finished many beautiful and functional kitchen and bathroom remodels. Actually, I have successfully completed just about every kind of home construction project at one time or another, from new construction to any kind of home remodeling, including hillside construction and correction of earthquake damage. One unusual job we performed was the replacement of support columns and their footings for a waterfront home, which were submerged in water when the tide came in.

I've always stressed to myself and my staff that fine design, quality materials and meticulous workmanship are paramount in all instances—and that has been the key to the success I have enjoyed. My profession as a designer and general contractor is truly an art and I receive much satisfaction from a beautifully finished product and happy clients. These are my aims and they have earned us an excellent reputation throughout the years.

Because of this philosophy, approximately one-third of our business is repeat business (owners remodeling other parts of their home, new location, second home, etc.), one-third comes from referrals, and one-third consists of new contacts such as the business we get from this website.

We would be interested in finding out how we can best provide what you need and want and thus make your dream become a reality.

Dear Roger,

We want to extend kudos to you for the way you have approached the design phase of the project to remodel our home. You immediately developed a partnership with us to embark on a journey that has made your professional, as well as artistic, vision and our remodel desires turn into a successful reality. Our conversations with you (from our first timid approach, all the way to some wacky ideas we had) have been guided by your comprehensive understanding and evaluation of the project from its inception to conclusion. We especially appreciated the regular reviews of the project. Your honest opinions have given us great confidence in the degree of caring, the experience, and the depth of thought you put into clarifying this mission that is so important to us.

You have been recommended to several of our acquaintances as one of the best in the business.

Looking for references? This L.A. contractor's website delivers the goods

You've heard the drill when looking for a remodeling contractor: Get references.

But what does that mean? References from a neighbor? A friend? The guy at the hardware store? Yes, yes and yes.

But the kinds of references typically NOT that helpful are the glowing testimonials you might find on a remodeling contractor's website, testimonials like these:

"What a wonderful company!"

"I highly recommend this contractor!"

"Wowee!"

My reporter's mind screams out: Who said these things? When did they say them? About what? Can I speak with these people? In truth, you wonder if these aren't just made-up comments.

So it was with some delight that I found the website of Roger Perron General Contractors. There, under the "Referrals" link, you find an amazing thing: Actual letters from actual people with actual phone numbers you can call.

The first letter shown, for instance, is from Paula Bernstein, Ph.D., M.D., Obstetrics & Gynecology, 8737 Beverly Blvd., Suite 201, Los Angeles, CA 90048, (310) 659-4564. And her letter begins like this:

"It was a summer night at two in the morning when our smoke detector went off. A fire had started in the laundry room. By the time the fire department arrived and put it out, our kitchen and den were destroyed, and the rest of the house was a smoke-damaged mess.

"The first person we called the next morning was the insurance agent. Our second phone call was to Roger Perron."

The point is, when you are looking for a contractor and you see glowing testimonials on his or her website, don't take those comments seriously unless they are accompanied by the name of the person, and, ideally, their contact information. If not, those comments could be just another case of creative writing. See more Perron testimonials from real people.
