About us

Potter Mallis – Mission Statement – 2011 Times are changing, and the future of design and construction is upon us.  Sustainable building has brought a new conscientious consumer to the market, one who understands quality and appreciates total commitment to the project at hand.    The days of the tool belt contractor are trending toward extinction and at Potter Mallis we intend to change that. The modern day contractor has morphed into an urban legend, turning into one who provides stress and frustration to all those they work with.   Potter Mallis wants to reverse this trend and is focused on the revival of the tool belt contractor.  We understand the attention required to give our clients the unique results we are working together to achieve.  We are an open source platform, as we look forward to the input of our partners and understand the value of communication in achieving the success we work hard to achieve.   Potter Mallis prides itself on our craftsmanship, sustainability, and dedication to each and every project.    Based in Venice, California, Potter Mallis is a boutique design and construction firm at the heart of the sustainable building movement. We value our brand on the quality of our projects and the true client relationships we build, we seek partners to achieve and grow together with.   Potter Mallis, sustainable craftsmen, ready to build a future together.

They sounded like they would be really good people to work with but they were high and beyond my budget. It wasn't unreasonable but it was beyond my budget. They were very qualified and very good. I was happy to have known them and I would use them another time but I got a lower bid. They were very professional and very pleasant. I would have been happy to have done business with them.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from Potter Mallis Sustainable Design & Construction to remodel my bathroom.

They didn't do/get the job.
Description of Work: PM responded in a timely manner to my request for a bid on bathroom and kitchen jobs (not complete renovations, but plenty of work). Both principals came to the house, we talked about the projects and the specific components. They spent plenty of time and both are nice guys who seem genuinely engaged. Not much time passed before their bid arrived via email, a bid that seemed almost too good to be true. So I asked some questions, made some corrections/alterations, asked for some references. They never responded to this next round, even though I sent them a couple of reminders. Maybe they got another job, maybe I asked too many questions. I never found out.

I don't have enough great things to say about Potter Mallis. They were extremely professional from the start and provided me with excellent ideas and service. From the first walk-through, Todd had great suggestions that helped to make the finished product excellent. Todd helped me design the kitchen at IKEA, and had some great solutions to work in my tight space. They were good at helping me mix less expensive materials with higher end materials, and understanding the need to keep costs down. Their work is first rate, they were very communicative (yes, really), and they are easy to work with. I also really appreciated that one of them was always at the job site. I recommend them highly.
