J. C. proved himself not only a trustworthy, professional and highly competent contractor during our experience with him, but also an authentically good-willed person. While my wife and I shopped for a house, he repeatedly offered us honest evaluations of the properties we were considering; in fact, he was directly responsible for our avoiding a very problem-ridden house. Once we finally found the house we wanted to buy, we had J. C. repair a chimney that had been improperly flashed and replace an exterior door. What impressed me most about J. C. was his attention to detail on these relatively small jobs. After our house hunt, my wife and I were more than a bit skittish about repairs and we very much just wanted to know that they were done right; with J. C., we knew our repairs were being done correctly to prevent further problems down the road. We knew that because he took the time to thoroughly explain the problems beforehand and because he did the repairs himself-- when you hire J. C., you're not going to be offloaded onto some junior contractor whose priority is speed over quality. J. C. seems to be one of that increasingly rare breed that takes real pride not only in the work he does, but in the people he helps. He may not come up as the cheapest contractor in the book, nor should he-- he knows that the kind of service and expertise he provides are worth a bit of a premium. But I consider the confidence I have in him and the work he does to be more than worth what we paid. The best praise I can offer about the chimney is that the repairs are almost invisible-- he did a wonderful job making the new chimney blend with the rest of our house, even while using a sturdier siding material for it; the door, likewise, was pristinely hung-- while most of the other doors on our house stick just a bit, the door J. C. put in just operates really smoothly. I'm the type that enjoys feeling deep quality in the mundane little tools I use throughout the day and whenever I use that door I'm struck by how smooth all of its actions are. Maybe that's a bit goofy of me, but it testifies to J.C.'s craftsmanship that his door's operation forces me to briefly contemplate the quality that went into its hanging whenever I use it. It's also worth mentioning that he's a very pleasant fellow; maybe that's not a prerequisite for a good contractor, but when somebody's working on your house you're going to be interacting with them a fair bit. It's nice to work with somebody who's amusing and engaging to chat with.
Description of Work: - Repaired water damage to siding, sheathing and structure on chimney - Replaced exterior door

JC showed up on time and completed all work as agreed. The final price was as quoted. The repaired room looks brand new and I am extremely happy with his work. JC always goes the extra mile and provides excellent advice. While working on the room, he noticed that the spring had broken on my vinyl window and showed me how to fix it free of charge. This is the second job JC has completed for me and there is nobody else that I would trust to do general construction on my house. JC keeps up with the latest technology and advances in construction. I highly recommend Unger Construction.
Description of Work: The plaster and lath on my ceiling was falling down so I ripped it out and had JC replace the plaster and lath with sheetrock. JC also removed an old window then framed it in and sheetrocked the opening. He put custom furring strips on the ceiling and sheetrocked it. Repaired some large cracks in the plaster and lath walls. Mudded, taped, and textured the rest of the room. Fixed the spring on an inoperable vinyl window.

Exceeded expectations, as usual. A different bidder had said the entire siding on south side would need to be replaced. JC, instead, scraped and sealed the weathered side and put an extra layer of paint on that and other places where the cedar siding was very rough. It looks beautiful and good to last many a harsh winter. The window trim was done expertly, also, to prevent water seepage. He even painted the front door and the storage doors in the carport, plus the entryway fence -- none of which we had expected to be included. And, as always, he left the worksite very clean and tidy. Could not be more pleased!!!

As usual, beyond expectations. This was a complex repair job, but now the roof is functioning as it should have -- with proper sloping, functioning drainage -- plus little touches like blocking off where the facia meets the chimney are so much more visually pleasing. PLUS he cleaned off the scum off the chimney (caused by the old drainage problem) which we had not expected at all!
Description of Work: The previous owner had had rubber roofing put on the relatively flat roof, but it was poorly done; slopes were wrong so downspouts weren't draining, therefore rafters and facia were rotted, etc. JC cleared out the rot and re-worked the roofing so that it would drain properly, put on new facia boards, and had seamless gutters installed.

Excellent work. We'd selected and purchased a new toilet based on a Consumer Reports recommendation. When JC unpacked the box, he noticed the wax ring was of poor quality; on his own initiative, he had purchased another (better) wax ring and used that instead, at no extra charge. The job was done quickly and professionally -- the first of many projects we've had JC do for us.
Description of Work: Installed new toilet. Hauled away old toilet.

Beyond expectations. The window framing (inside and out) was a tricky challenge, we knew, but JC did an excellent job, both precise and aesthetic. And we're so glad to have windows that can open now!
Description of Work: Two floor-to-ceiling windows in two front bedrooms had rotting casements outside (due to weather exposure and watering plants) and inside (due to houseplants having been kept in front of them); we feared dry rot. JC Unger investigated the rot and determined it was not dry rot -- honest! He suggested we replace the lower solid panes with windows that can open for improved airflow and emergency escape in case of house fire -- helpful!

I've contacted JC three times in the last year and though we haven't been able to find the right project or time to work together it isn't for a lack of trying! He is always responsive, always courteous, asks all the right questions and is willing to say when someone would be a better fit. I look forward to working with him when the right project comes along!

JC is the best! I called about 5 remodel contractors, JC called me back in maybe 10-15 minutes, and came over for an estimate and check out the problem. He had to design a way to vent a range hood outside, and not make it look hideous like blow out the front door at guests! He carefully looked over the house, house architectural plans, to figure out a way to do it. Talk about conscientious! He had us shop for the hood and get it then email him the description so he could get supplies. To make his job more difficult, I have two small yappy dogs; JC fed them treats, got down on the floor and played with them so even the dogs were comfortable with the intruder. What service person is that nice about your dogs? I usually have to lock them up in crates where they bark until they're exhausted. JC even sent a follow up email to make sure all was ok after the job. I still needed more help! He came back and for a really nominal charge he picked up and replaced the range cord, and cut the counter back. Yes, he's really neat and cleans up better than it was before he got there. You should definitely call for a quote for your projects or help fixing things around the house. I could write a lot more, he even helped me deal with Home Depot delivery problems. This cost below includes parts, supplies, metal pipe etc. Thanks JC!

I was extremely happy with J.C.'s work. I would recommend him to friends and family and will definitely request his services again in the future. On his first visit, J.C. provided a quote that was a bit high . . . we couldn't see inside the wall to get a full picture of what needed to be done and he wanted to ensure that I wouldn't be surprised by the cost. I was impressed with J.C.'s knowledge and desire to provide a fair quote. I accepted his bid and the day before the work was to be done, J.C. stopped by to take another look at the site. He helped me to remove several boards to get a better idea of how the post was connected to the house. After seeing that the job would be easier than he expected he revised his quote to to be less than the original. The next day J.C. arrived with Ken and we talked through what they were planning to do and he made sure that I didn't have any questions. They jacked up the house and removed the rotted 4x6 post and replaced it with a pressure-treated 6x6 post and added a stout steel brace. The post looks great and the final repair is much better constructed than the original setup. To top it off, J.C. and Ken corrected the sag on that end of the house. I am very happy with results and was amazed when the final price of the job was even less than the revised quote due to the fact that the job was easier than he thought it would be. I can honestly say that he delivered more than he promised.
Description of Work: Replaced a dry-rotted post that held up the corner of my house.

J.C. is about as honest a contractor as you could hope to meet. In a profession that's fraught with dishonesty and a lack of integrity, J.C. really stands out as an example of the way things should be done. My wife and I recently had an inspection performed on a home we were going to buy when we called J.C. There were a number of troubling items that came to light in the inspection, and we wanted to know just how serious the problems were before continuing with the purchase. J.C. reviewed the inspection report for us and met me at the house to look at the problems more thoroughly. After checking out the home, he emphatically recommended that we not continue with the purchase. I want to emphasize how startling this fact, in itself, is: a less honest contractor could have easily encouraged us to go through with the purchase pending a big laundry list of repairs and renovations. In other words, a less honest contractor would have taken a nice long trip to Maui on the proceeds of our misfortune. But J.C. told us flat out that the problems with the house were really quite pervasive and could endanger us financially for many years to come. He saved my wife and I from making a very large and costly mistake; he was honest and straight with us, offering a recommendation that was very clearly in our interest rather than his own. We weren't able to retain J.C.'s services any further on this house since we pulled out of the deal the next day, but when the time comes he will be our go-to contractor.
Description of Work: J.C. came to a property we were going to purchase and closely reviewed a number of problems discovered in the home inspection.

Description of Work: I was fortunate enough to find JC Unger of Unger Construction on Angie's List. My closet had collapsed and he returned it to perfect condition. JC also put up some window blinds, curtain rods and mounted a lamp on my bedroom wall. He did an excellent job and he also has a great sense of humor. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone who needs some quality work done around their house.

We contacted JC Unger (of Unger Construction) for our kitchen remodel. Not only did he provide us with great ideas, but he also followed through with doing outstanding work. He answered calls (and texts), was meticulous, and he and his crew were skilled, professional and kept the remodel area remarkably clean. The end result exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier. We are especially appreciative to his attention to detail. We put numerous can lights in our ceiling in lieu of the previous lighting. He spent time guaranteeing that there would be no shadows by placing the lights in specific locations. Our bathroom remodel is next and we will be calling JC!

When I first contacted Unger Construction Co, I spoke to Jim Unger's son. He is in Eugene, Oregon, and the actual owner of the company. He told me that his dad works for him here on the coast, and he put me in touch with him. Jim Unger came by to give us an estimate in a timely manner. He gave us a time frame for the work to be done, and he completed the job on time. We are very pleased with the results! The roof looks great. A couple of weeks after the work was completed, I thought about something that I should have considered before the work. I called Jim and asked him about a warranty on the work, and the paint. We had failed to discuss it. Jim got a copy of the warranty from the paint company, and wrote up a warranty on his work. My husband and I really appreciated this because he already had our check, yet he was very accommodating and fair. I think this was very classy of him! I will definitely call Jim Unger again if we need any work done.

I had hired Mr. Unger to help us remove a barn after a storm brought a tree down on it. I have posted by review of his work on that project already. We then entered into a contract to build a replacement building (of sorts) for the property and we settled on a 4 car garage that would be used partly as a work shop. I wanted the new building to be located near the house, so it could be used as a garage, and I wanted it to have good electrical service. JC Unger built the most beautiful garage/shop. It actually looks nicer than the house (next project I guess). His work was timely and very professional. He was in close communication with the city regarding codes and permits. Everything was done above scale, but was not overpriced. In other words, he does excellent work! The project was begun in June and had the final electrical inspection done before Thanksgiving, so you know he did not waste time. If you live in Oregon, then you are aware that there were some bad storm days during that period that did cause some delays, but the schedule did not hit any major delays. JC is NOT one of those who will sign the contract with you and then disappear for days (hate them). He is the kind that will start the next day talking to the city and getting the permits pulled (and that can take some sweet talking sometimes). I also love the pictures and short clips he sends in the emails to show me how it was all progressing. It's really nice to be kept informed. JC is fair and honest and does excellent work. Would I hire him again? You bet! This is the second time I have worked with him, and I highly recommend him to you.
