“Ron Resnick”

My main hobby is high-end audio. I decided several years ago to put together the last, elaborate, analog-only stereo system of my life. ln connection with unrelated required repairs to my house, I decided I wanted to build a robust, dedicated and low resistance to ground electrical infrastructure to support the power requirements to my future audio system.

I researched electrical and building contractors with particular expertise and experi- ence in electrical infrastructure for audio systems. I found Tony Cosko of Calcoast Construction lnc. Tony has a great deal of experience with elaborate electrical in- frastructure design, chemical grounding systems and dedicated sub-panels to sup- port state-of-the-art audio systems and home cinema systems. I engaged Tony to design, sourc.e and install two chemical ground systems, and a dedicated electrical sub-panel for my audio system, and to select all of the numerous electrical and wiring com ponents therefor.

Because unrelated repairs to my house were undergoing at the same time I had to integrate Tony with the general contractor handling those repairs and access to the house. This made Tony's work for my audio system project much more difficult, frus- trating and time-consuming than it should have been. (Tony's work is completed but the unrelated repairs to the house are still ongoing as of the date of this letter.)

Tony was a perfect and consummate professional in all respects and at all times. Despite not just months but literally years of delays between the stages of the audio room electrical infrastructure project on which Tony was endeavoring to make progress, Tony remained unflappable and patient and accommodating to me and to the general contractor of the overall house repair project, Despite being subjected to many months of delays at each stage of Tony's work, Tony made himself available whenever the general contractor was able to integrate Tony into the on-site work so Tony could continue to work on the stages of the electrical infrastructure for my stereo system.

Understanding my objectives for the electrical infrastructure I wanted, Tony picked very high-quality components. His design for my project was grounded in engineer- ing and electrical principles, and was robust and sound.

Cosmetically his work was amazing, paying careful attention to both engineering el- ements and aesthetic elements. The electrical work he performed and the compo- nents he installed are of the highest quality, and everything looks extremely profes- sional.

I am grateful to have found Tony originally to build the electrical infrastructure for my audio system. Over the four years during which I have worked with Tony on my project I have developed the utmost respect for his professionalism; his attention to detail; his knowledge, expertise and skill; and his actually installed work product.

Tony has my highest and unqualified recommendation.

I would be happy to discuss in greater detail my experience with Tony at your con- venience. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Tony Cosko of CalCoast Construction is the best general contractor I have ever worked with. The bathroom work is only the latest of several projects, both indoor and outdoor, I have hired CalCoast Construction for over the years. Others have included re-roofing, indoor and outdoor painting, rebuilding my pergola, upgrading my electrical panel box, and installing industrial shelving in my garage. He is meticulous, always delivers what he promises, is endlessly patient with questions, is punctual, has a terrific eye for design, and can do anything. I whole-heartedly recommend him for both indoor and outdoor work.

“Dirk J. Gaudet ASLA - Principal - Gaudet Design Group”

The Gaudet Design Group (GDG) is a landscape architectural firm providing comprehensive exterior space design, landscape planning, and construction observation services for both Commercial and Residential projects. Principal Dirk Gaudet has a long history of working with Mr. Tony Cosko and his team at Calcoast Construction. Calcoast has successfully completed a number of difficult hardscape focused custom residential projects for us in Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Brentwood and Santa Monica. It is with great enthusiasm that I sit down to write a letter of recommendation for Tony Cosko and his company CalCoast Construction. Tony and his team’s ability to complete an extraordinary amount of work in a relatively short amount of time while consistently delivering quality detail-oriented results is by all means a refreshing trait in the construction industry today. Most importantly Tony’s work ethic and his integrity are the backbone of CalCoast. In a world of contract disputes and corner cutting, anyone that works with Tony and his company can rest assured that he will do exactly what he is tasked to do and many times go beyond the call of duty to meet the schedule and work to the budget. Even if it requires working overtime on weekends and long days as CalCoast has often done with a number of our projects. Based on the work performed for us here at GDG, I can highly recommend CalCoast Construction for both large scale and moderate sized projects. Tony and his team can also provide complete design build service for structural engineering as well as permit processing. If you have any specific question regarding Mr. Cosko or CalCoast Construction, please feel free to call our office.

“E. Pfahler, City West Ventures, Inc.”

I am a 20 year veteran in the real estate industry and have a pretty discriminating eye for quality. I first hired Tony to build an outdoor room for me 5 years ago. Since then I had Tony and his team do an extensive remodel to my Pacific Palisades home including blowing out ceilings, remodeling a bathroom, completely remodeling our kitchen, and adding an office. He managed the project professionally and cleanly, and the workmanship again was great. I would definitely recommend him to others.

“Glenn Cardoso, Principal, New Urban West Inc.”

Tony Cosko has contracted with us for a number of jobs over the past 16 years. The jobs have varied from small "fixit" projects at our Santa Monica home to a complete rebuilding and remodel of our ranch house in Malibu. In addition, Tony and his crew have completed some specialty projects for us including a first rate 14 horse barn and riding arena. In each case we found Tony to be completely dependable, on time, cost efficient while performing a "first class" job. His workmanship is extraordinary, and we have not experienced any serious call-backs. Tony and his team have worked around and near our family, horses, our dog, and others in a most professional, clean, and courteous manner. We recommend Tony without reservation for any construction related job he chooses to undertake.

“Chris and Rebeca George”

It is without hesitation that I wholeheartedly recommend Tony Cosko. Tony is very talented and creative in coming up with solutions for project which at first seem quite challenging. He is always on time and comes in on budget. Tony and his crew are a joy to be around. My 2-year old daughter frequently wondered where Tony went after our job was complete. My wife and I always appreciate how Tony made himself available if we had questions or issues to discuss, regardless of whether it was in the evenings or on a weekend. We would use him again without thinking twice.

Donec scelerisque dolor id nunc dictum, nterdum mauris rhoncus. Aliquam at ultrices nunc. In sem fermentum at lorem in, porta mauris.Tony Cosko is the best general contractor I have ever worked with. He has an incredible work ethic and by far the most important for me as a designer, is his attention to detail. A project takes 100% of your efforts and more. With Tony, the last 10% of the job, when the finishing touches are crucial and everyone is tired he is right there making it perfect! This is a rare gift, someone that cares as much as I do. My clients think he is the greatest, because he is present and hands-on, provides professional subs, and responds immediately to the needs of the project. He stays on calendar and budget and is accountable. I hope he is available for all of my projects.

“April Palmer, Palmer and Associates Landscape Design”

lf it's complicated and challenging and I want perfection at a very competitive price, Tony is my go-to guy. His work is impeccable, his experience and knowledge are extensive and very reassuring

“Bill Norton”

Our house was designed for us by Frank Gehry. lt has been published in magazines across the world and we are often visited by university sponsored tours and assorted groups of Gehry fans. Consequently, my wife and I have always felt an obligation to retain a high level of maintenance. However, the corrosive effects of salt air during 25 years on the Venice oceanfront had taken it's toll. We needed to do an extensive remodel. Windows and doors had to be replaced. Two bathrooms had to be totally remodeled. It was important that we find a contractor who fit three criteria."
