Stephen Fanuka

Stephen Fanuka & Rod Fanuka Stephen Fanuka has built an unsurpassed reputation among leading interior designers, architects, and elite clientele as the go-to expert for high-quality general contracting and luxury interior renovations.

Stephen’s father, Rod Fanuka, was an immigrant from Croatia who started his small cabinetry business in 1967. At an early age, the senior Fanuka trained his son in the traditional European art of cabinetmaking. By the age of seventeen, Stephen was a registered master craftsman—but he wanted more. He aimed to expand the cabinetry business into a full-service construction company, with the goal of controlling all aspects of quality within an interior renovation. In 1994, Stephen obtained his General Contractor's license, and the rest was history.

Stephen founded Fanuka Inc. with a simple yet impactful mission statement that still resonates with his high-end clients to this day:

"Give the client what they paid for—a first-rate job with Class A service. Make the experience a pleasurable one—one that the client will positively remember—and chances are, they will tell a friend."

The success of Fanuka Inc. is owed to the 40+ full-time professionals it employs.
