James and his crew were more than professional. On time and cared for my home as it was their own. Perfection! I would recommend them for any work project you need.

James Garcia is a real pro. He responded quickly to my call, arrived when he said he would, and spent time answering questions I asked about some renovation I am hoping to do. Although I haven't yet had the work done (in part because James tipped me off about some design questions that need to be resolved first), I will definitely be calling on him when I'm ready to start the renovation. I already know he's a pleasure to work with and knows his stuff.

James did a great job. Always punctual, and keep me updated on the project. Kitchen remodel and we used IKEA kitchen supplies. IKEA brought its own unique challenges, but James stayed on top of it, and in the end, got a brand new kitchen. Well done and at a reasonable price.

Garcia Home Improvement did an amazing job. It was quick, and the job was done with quality. The crew was very polite and professional. They were very patient with us not being ready with finish materials. The mess was contained and dealt with properly, with nothing left for us to clean once the work was done. They even made sure to setup for us to do some finish work that we decided to do ourselves. We already have Garcia Home Improvement lined up to do another big job. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience with James and his team! He finished a bathroom remodel for us a few weeks ago, and we love it! James is very easy to work with and communicated well about the steps of the project, and any issues that popped up. I think it was very smooth and I will definitely try to hire James again for our next project! Hopefully, our other bathroom next year. :)

James was so pleasant to work with. Being a first time home owner and first time doing a huge remodel, James was patient and helpful. He took time to explain products needed and quality I should look for. Only having one bathroom, James was able to come in and quickly get the job done. They were respectful of property, clean and fair in price. My 1947 bathroom was transferred into beautiful, functional room, and I couldn't be more excited! I would recommend this company to others and have already inquired about another jhome improvement job!

James was amazing and was able to turn our bathroom into an oasis. He completely transformed our nightmare into a dream at an affordable price. He was more than fair and worked really hard to do this job in a short period of time. My wife was pregnant and was just about at her due date. He was willing to race with the clock and was extremely successful. He is also down to earth and has a wonderful personality which can be hard to find in the contracting world. I am hoping to hire James for our next project, our kitchen. I would recommend him for any of your projects.

It could not have been better. The work was done as promised for a reasonable price and in a reasonable time. Very flexible and they can do anything from fine carpentry to electrical to floor tile to rebuilding a dog house. Owner (James) is wonderful. He and his awesome workers are dedicated to getting the work done and satisfying the owner. Great attitude from all of them. They worked long, hard days to get it done in order to minimize the disruption for me. James does exactly what he says he will do, shows up on time every day and stays as long as it takes. Completely trustworthy and even great with safeguarding the dogs. Could not have asked for a better experience. And the result is beautiful. Without a doubt - my go-to guys. In fact, have already had them back for a couple of smaller projects. Simply awesome.
Description of Work: Major renovation of home (kitchen, dining room, lavette, hall) and porch, including removal of walls, installation of ceramic tile floor in large area, new island, shelves and work area in kitchen, etc.

His voice mail box was full but he returned my phone call quickly. He began within a week or two of our initial contact. I expected him to take two days and he began on a Friday of a three day weekend. I was concerned that my tenants were not going to have access to a shower for about four days but he and his assistant pulled a 12 hour shift and had it done by Friday night. It looks great. I am going to hire him to work on the attic this summer.

He always arrived on time, was very clear in communication, and did very well with what he did. We actually are requesting a bid on another item right now.
Description of Work: We had a lot of work to do, so requested a bid on everything. His price was a little high, so we didn't do everything, and hired him for part of the project. He did a great job on cleaning out the garage, hauling the stuff away and installing two new windows.

I am a difficult homeowner. This general contractor performed all facets of a significant whole house rehabilitation with his own workers and various subcontractors. The quality of most of the work was A grade. In the rare instances where the work was not up to par (painting) it was redone until it was acceptable. Much of the job included considerable simple cottage woodwork installations, ie: board & batten paneling & ply bead board/trim. Labor only. All work came with a one year warranty.

I could not be happier with the service we received from James. He did a thorough job of looking at the work we needed done. He gave accurate quotes for costs and gave his opinion on what would work best for our needs while taking my ideas into account. He showed up when he said he would, which in Rhode Island is a huge plus in and of itself, he handled the work with a sense of humor and warm personality. His assistants are all very pleasant and relaxed as well, which makes having them around the house for a few days quite pleasant. The work they did is quality and it lived up to my standards, which can be pretty high. James also came to my house when I had a major plumbing disaster, once during the day and once after hours with the person he recommended to handle the plumbing part of the job. Even though he did not end up doing any work for us for that job, his willingness to look at our problem on very short notice was appreciated very much and I would not have hesitated to hire him to help. Overall, James and his crew get an A+ from me and anyone who hires him is making the right choice!
Description of Work: We worked with James at Garcia Home Improvement for two separate jobs. The first job consisted of gutting a walk in pantry/entryway. They removed old drywall, light fixture, dividing wall, ceiling, and shelving and redid the space into a single open space with new ceiling, light fixture, drywall, and shelves. For the doorway into the house, they recreated the antique molding so it would match the other doors in the house. For the second job, James and his crew did a bunch of odds and ends to ready our house for presentation for sale. They did painting, replaced hardware in various places, drywall touch ups, and ceiling repair.

I have used this company before and they're excellent. James, the owner, gave came out to the site and gave me a quick and reasonable quote compared to others I received. Given the oceanfront location, the conditions were difficult and not idea because of temperature and high coastal wind. The job was completed by the crew of 4 in one very long day. The work was excellent and the debris clean-up was meticulous - not a scrap on the clamshell landscape surrounding the cottage. The quote was the final bill. No "extras"! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!
