Coming from design backgrounds and based in Oak Park where most renovated homes lean heavily…read moreWestern, my wife and I were initially doubtful that anyone could pull off what we envisioned: an Organic Modern Asian aesthetic fused with Scandinavian calm, accented by our own art pieces. JRP removed all doubt. They first built our kitchen, which people often say looks like something straight out of a Japanese Michelin restaurant. A year later, we brought them back to rebuild the rest of our home including bedrooms, bathrooms, living room, family room, and backyard patio. We received every detail both JRP and I could think of, including things most people skip over like kerfed door jambs, mudded in vents, and trimless smoke detectors, and JRP delivered flawlessly. The result is beyond what we hoped for and honestly a bit inconvenient now because everyone keeps telling us to submit our home to Architectural Digest :) We are immensely thankful to the entire JRP team for their craftsmanship, patience, and commitment to making our vision a reality. I've recommended JRP to everyone who has asked and will continue to do so without hesitation.

We recently completed a full kitchen remodel with JRP, and we couldn't be more pleased. There are…read morea lot of things that we loved about JRP (and the people that we worked with), but I'll focus on a few highlights: Design Process: Our success started with the design. We spent a few months working with one of their designers, Danni Krueger. After we provided Danni with our ideas and inspiration photos, she created two different design options for us to consider. Her designs not only dramatically improved our kitchen's functionality (e.g., adding a lot more storage and counter space), they also were aesthetically beautiful. She recommended many things that we could never have come up with on our own. Danni is also super personable and easy to work with. Planning/schedule: Have you ever been frustrated about contractors starting a project and then having long periods of time where nothing seems to happen and your project grinds to a halt? That was the opposite of our experience. At the outset of our project, JRP provided a detailed schedule that we could follow on an app (Buildertrend). They had someone doing some sort of work nearly every day, so it always felt that we were moving the ball forward. They provided us daily updates (with pictures) to share what they had done that day and what they planned to do the next. Occasionally, when there was a necessary schedule change, they promptly communicated it along with the reason. Team: Day-to-day, we dealt mostly with Grant Walker (Project Manager) and Regin Wilson (Superintendent). At least one of them showed up every day to give direction and make sure the work was getting done right. These are highly professional, solid guys, and we completely trusted them with our home. If something wasn't done right (which invariably happens in every large project), they were usually the ones to identify it and make sure it was properly fixed. No arguments, and no headaches or stressful conversations that you might be used to having with a contractor. JRP seems to understand that this is the last thing you want to deal with. It's so refreshing. Finished Kitchen: Finally, we couldn't be happier with the final product. Our kitchen is amazing, and everyone who has seen it has been highly impressed. We plan to stay in our house for a while, and our new kitchen will make that time much more enjoyable. *** We have done several remodeling projects over the years, and we've worked with numerous contractors. We have never dealt with a better company than JRP. They might seem a bit pricier than some of their competitors, but that doesn't mean they are more expensive. That's because you are paying not only for the quality, but also for their professionalism and for your peace of mind. JRP is a one-stop shop, and they really delivered. We couldn't be happier with JRP.

Recently completed a bathroom renovation project by Focil Construction. Truly amazing work and…read morehaving them take lead on design was key to me getting the bathrooms I really wanted. Working with Stephanie on the design process helped to see the vision through her high quality bathroom renderings. The Project Manager, Joe Focil, is a creative problem solver and is able to deal with any unforeseen issues that can arise on any construction project. So happy with Focil Construction's work!

Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience with Focil Construction. I should have known that…read morethey were not trustworthy when they verbally made promises (such as the renovation would be complete by Thanksgiving) but then wrote a different date (end of December) into the contract. When I questioned why the contract said end of December, Joseph told me that the contract required adding an additional month. When I received the schedule of work, that too said the project would be completed by the end of December. I was not living yet in the property and renting, so the additional month added another $2,300 onto the project that I wasn't expecting. I asked for them not to charge me for additional fabrication and installation of the stone which they refused but they did end up finishing by the end of November so that I could get my furniture out of the rental so that I would not be charged for another month. This was not the only reason I began not to trust them any longer. I ordered the stone through the family of a friend, and the owner of the store asked for the name, address and phone number of the fabricator. I asked Catalina for this information. She gave me the correct address because the stone needed to be delivered there; however, she lied about the name of the fabricator. As you can see in the screenshot, she said the name was Israel when it's in fact Olympus. She supplied her own phone number as the number of the fabricator. Anytime I see lying, I wonder the motive, and I start to question everything. In addition, on the contract, the square footage was greater than the entire area of my condo. Again, I had questioned this when I signed the contract and Catalina assured me that I would only be charge for work done. I later had to argue with Joseph to get him to reduce the amount he was charging to the actual square footage which I estimated by taking the number of boxes of wood and multiplying by the square footage per box. Joseph told me that they used every single piece of wood in every box, but, as you can see in the attached photo, there was a box still sealed that had not been used. If I had not questioned this, it would have been $700 more. When I began to question the integrity of Joseph and Catalina, I did more research. The amount of glue needed for the wood floor is 30-35 square feet per gallon. I confirmed this with another flooring installer who works for the friend from whom I purchased the wood floor. In the attached, you will see that I was charged for 8 bucket of glue (5 gallons in each bucket) at $207 each. That is literally twice the recommended amount for the 650 square feet of wood that they installed. Also, I provided 4 buckets of the same glue for the padding that went underneath the floor. At $207 each bucket, I was overcharged more than $800. This led me to question the linear square feet of baseboard which I just got done measuring. I was charge for 240 square feet; however, the linear square footage of what I measured was 160 square feet, quite a difference and an additional charge of almost $500. There was an additional issue with the electrical outlet for the refrigerator. The appliance store was not able to install the refrigerator, because the cord would not reach to the outlet where they had placed it. I ended up having to pay for an additional visit from the appliance store ($75). I asked Joseph if he would reimburse me for this since he was responsible for installing the outlet in the correct location. He never responded to me. I definitely feel that Joseph and Catalina took advantage of me and my lack of knowledge and experience with renovation work. I wasn't able to catch all of the overcharges before paying for them, and it added to the already exorbitant cost of the renovation. I wish I had gone with a different contractor.

He promised us he'd have an estimate within 5 days but actually provided it, with a CAD, in 3 hours. My husband and I were shocked at how reasonable the estimate was. In fact it was so reasonable it allowed us to splurge on extras, like a blind-corner pullout cabinet. He estimated it would take 4-6 weeks to complete, which was less than half the time of the other quotes we received. Guess what? He had them ready in 2 weeks. The installation was a master class on attention to detail. The paint job was outstanding. We are absolutely thrilled with how the cabinetry turned out. Honestly we are trying to find other cabinetry projects for Dan because we miss him!

JH3 Company in Newbury Park is a first-rate roofing contractor and reliable team of experts…read more JH3 was a trusted referral after we endured two rainy seasons with a minor residential roof leak. The experience exceeded our expectations - highly responsive, actionable, and oh so thorough! Two years of concerns came down to less than two days of repair. From the first call, warmly received by Shannon, to onsite diagnosing days later by supervisor Chris, and onsite work a week later by Keith and Brandon, we were able to do affordable repairs and preventative maintenance. The JH3 team repaired a hole in our roof, spotted and fixed shortcomings that may have led to expanded issues, cleared gutters of debris, and provided a 5-year repair warranty certificate. Now, they are certainly our trusted referral.

I would definitely recommend them and will call them again in the future if I have any more roof problems. What I also like about them is that they offer a 5 year warranty on their work. No other company that I called offered that length of warranty.
