What attributes do the best home builders look for in a finisher? We asked one of the industry’s most respected professionals, Andrea Cleveland (Director of Purchasing at etco HOMES). During Andrea’s illustrious career — working with the likes of DR Horton, Paragon, John Laing, AmCal, Griffin, Watt and Ikon — she has learned how to deliver excellent finishes that result in satisfied home buyers.
“I require installation that’s above standard,” she responded, “and it must be completed on time and within budget. That’s why I value Sunset Design & Finishes,” she explained. “In the four years we have worked together, I have always been extremely impressed by their speed and the quality of their installations.”
SD&F are currently installing countertops at etco HOME’s One Coast — an elevated, oceanfront lifestyle experience on the bluffs of Pacific Palisades — plus all of the flooring in two of their West Hollywood communities at The Melrose Collection.
THE MELROSE COLLECTION (West Hollywood): The Ainsley, on Sweetzer Avenue (above), features 49 residences with light-filled spaces, glass-lined terraces and fully integrated common amenities, including an open-air courtyard. The Addison (below) offers understated elegance with a sophisticated sensibility, clean lines and modern accents in 28 townhomes on Croft Avenue.
“One thing that sets Sunset Design & Finishes apart from their competition,” Andrea continued, “is that the owner, Joe Meugniot, is very hands on. I really appreciate his knowledge, expertise and clear communication. The entire team at Sunset Design is extremely easy to work with and readily available to handle any issues that arise in the field — which is very important.”
ONE COAST: This gated enclave on the bluffs of Pacific Palisades features contemporary homes with expansive outdoor living spaces and ocean-to-mountain vistas, plus innovative Caesarstone Quartz countertops by Sunset Design & Finishes.
THE MELROSE COLLECTION: A modern wood, Elegance Oak combines just the right amount of species character and streamlined visuals — with wire-brushed texture and ultra low-gloss finish — in The Addison’s bedrooms (right), and a strikingly gorgeous White Oak Marble leads the way as you enter the building (below). This natural stone features soft white and gray tones which coordinate beautifully with the other surfaces we installed throughout this distinctive West Hollywood community.
