JH Construction & Remodeling

Correction to my earlier review; Jim just called me and said he had some issues to resolve before he can give me an estimate. So I did hear from him. I will wait for his estimate and go from there. Thanks, Jim.

JH Construction was completely responsive and professional in every step. It was a small job but Jim Humphrey's made it happen. Quality exceeded expectations and price was most reasonable compared to other bids received. Jim oversaw the work, arranged for a skilled worker to do the job. He was very attentive to getting it just right, showing us various options with pieces of wainscoting -- Excellent communicator. Recommend without reservation. JH does major remodeling. I was familiar with some of the projects he has worked on and know that the owners only accept the best.

Unfortunately, due to my financial issues, I was not able to have the work done.

Superb work. Jim's team are extremely skilled and caring professionals and his subcontractors provide good service under his personal direction. The carpentry work on rebuilding the deck is fantastic - true craftsmen that do great work. Jim listens to what you want and makes great suggestions. He is on site every day to direct his team and to discuss progress with you. His team keep an extremely tidy and clean job site.

Jim and his team came in and saved the day. We had added a master suite onto the back of our house about 4 years ago and one day noticed water seeping up through the tile floor in the new master bathroom. Turns out our original contractor did a sub-par job tiling the shower. Jim and his team came in and did an excellent job: + removing the old tile and soaked hardy-backer/dry wall. + preserving a marble bench and pony-wall caps for re-use in the restored shower + completely re-constructing the shower (hot-mop for the floor/side-walls, re-did the plumbing, re-tiled the shower walls properly this time) My wife and I were very impressed with Jim's team's punctuality, attention to detail and most importantly workmanship. It seemed like everyone on the team really took pride in their work - and it showed. You may be able to find someone cheaper but if you want quality work at a reasonable price, I would definitely recommend Jim and his team.

We have used JH Construction at our house in Campbell for several jobs, including replacing a window with a sliding glass door and an exterior deck for the new door. During installation, Jim (the owner of JH Construction) discovered that the old window had been leaking and ended up doing major structural work on the wall and sub-floor. Jim, his workers, and his sub-contractors did a great job. They were able to exactly match the stucco and paint on the outside of the house so you can not tell that where the old joins with the new. They set up barriers to keep dust out of the rest of the house and did a fantastic job of cleaning up the job site at the end the work day. Based on the excellent work JH Construction had done at our house in Campbell, when we bought a house near the Russian river, we contracted with JH Construction to do extensive work on the new house. This included rebuilding a huge deck (over 1000 square feet) that had rot in the joists (and it turned out that the rot had spread from the joists, to the ledger and into the wood siding on our hose). They also put in new foundation anchor bolts, did a minor kitchen remodel (electrical and plumbing work), moved a sink in the laundry room, removed the old hot water heater and installed a new hot water heater in a new location, replaced some water lines, ran new gas pipes, fixed leaking plumbing in one of the bathrooms, replaced sheetrock in several locations, replaced some rotting exterior trim and wood siding, and repairs to the interior doors and molding. Jim also recommended an HVAC contractor who installed a new central heating system for us. We were very pleased with all of the work and we are planning on using JH Construction in the future when we remodel the kitchen and one of the bathrooms. It is very important to us that anyone working on our house does the job right, doesn't cut corners, and always keeps the work site clean. Jim, the owner of JH Construction, shares the same attitude.

Over the past 13 + years I have contracted with JH Construction several times for remodeling/construction and repair. Jim was the general for a bathroom remodel at a vacation home in South Lake Tahoe. He performed and managed the entire process including all permitting, carpentry and finish work. His plumbing, electrical, and tile subcontractors were equally professional, courteous and clean in their work. The results far exceeded our expectations and the project was competed within our budget, and ahead of schedule. When we were preparing to sell my father's home we contacted JH regarding damaged door trim on two of the interior doors. We were prepared to replace all of the door trim in the house and had budgeted a few thousand dollars for the material and labor and planned on a 2-3 week timeframe. Jim came over and inspected the damage and we were pleased to hear that the damage could be repaired and that we did not need to replace all of the trim on the house. He went on to repair the trim and over the course of a few days made several brief visits to repair and then paint the affected areas. There are several other projects I could comment on, but one is particularly telling of the customer service and broad skill-set the Jim provides. On a Sunday morning we heard a water leak in an interior wall between our kitchen and laundry room. After investigating the source of the leak and its location it was clear that we needed help. I called JH Construction at around noon, and by 5pm that day Jim arrived and began repair. The work included cutting a hole in our floor (the leak was not accessible via our crawl space) and re-piping the leaking section and then closing up the hole and re-tacking out carpet. He was finished and cleaned out by 11pm. This work was not a big project, and I suspect was not profitable, but that did not matter to Jim. We are his customers and he was more than willing to interrupt his weekend and make a special trip because it was an emergency.

I am very pleased with the remodeling work that I received from this JH Construction and Remodeling Company. I had never had any remodeling work done before and I was skeptical of who to trust and who would do a quality job. Jim is very knowledgeable and was more than willing to help me in any way that he could. Jim and his workers were prompt and their attention to detail and quality was impeccable.

I got 3 proposals for the 2 bathroom remodels. After having much experience in the past with not so good general contractors, I was very careful this time to make sure that the communication and quality of work were well understood. I found that J H Construction & Remodeling was extremely thorough in their proposal and presentation. They did a great job-Jim Humphrey the owner, was on site frequently and always contactable. The quality of the tile work, the granite counter tops with cabinets, and the paint and texturing of the walls were fantastic. Even for a perfectionist, as I am, I was thoroughly pleased with the results. Since then I have had JH Construction & Remodeling do various other construction projects around the house - they created a well needed closet in on of the bedrooms, reworked the structure on the out side deck and found the only sink, made bo Kohler to fit in the corner of the small 3rd bath in the home. We are looking forward to having JH Construction completely remodel our kitchen next year. We know they will do one fantastic job. We are very satisfied and highly recommend them for a great quality work.

Jim Humphrey owner of JH Construction and Remodeling came out to look at the damage and offered a Time and Materials contract since it was impossible to tell the damage while the outside stucco was in place. Stucco had to be removed back to the boards before accurate assessment of damage could be provided. Jim's estimate was very close to actual estimate. After contract signed between homeowner and contractor, scaffolding was erected and Jim and his crew did the demolition in one day. They proceeded to make repairs and remove all damaged stucco and wood. Jim had applied for permits from the city and faithfully stood the inspections. All work was passed the first time. Jim did a lot of the work himself and therefore saved homeowner from additional cost.
