We selected Burns Construction to remodel our large master bathroom in early 2021. When John came to our house to quote the job, he was pleasant, down to earth, knowledgeable, no BS and he was all about supporting our vision for the room rather than trying to impose his own, unlike the other contractors we met with. So we chose him, and we're very glad we did. John and his team were skilled, professional, respectful and easy to work with throughout the project. Communication was excellent. And the project was completed on time and on budget, despite a couple of unforeseen setbacks (it's an 80 year old house). Now we have a beautiful, well-built master bath that's exactly what we wanted. And we weren't charged a penny over the estimate, which was very reasonable to begin with. We couldn't be happier. Burns Construction will be getting our business again next time we have a construction or remodeling project. read more

My wife and I did a substantial remodel on our home - complete overhaul of our master bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room, along with new hardwood floors and paint throughout - and we are very happy with the results. John kept things well organized, communicated very well, and apart from a few minor odds and ends, finished the job on time, as promised. The job was also done within budget (no surprises thankfully!). John's crew were always polite and respectful. It's not fun at all to live through a remodel, especially when you lose your bedroom and bathroom and are sleeping in a guest room or living in a short term rental. But they did a great job accommodating us and respecting our family and our space. The quality of the workmanship was very good as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Burns Construction to a friend or family member. read more

Excellent work and prompt. Our deck looks great. They totally cleaned up the site. The porch is very attractive.

John was able to come by on short notice and look at our project. He was confident in his ability and gave us a timeframe of 3 months and finished in 2 and a half, which was surprising given the size of the project. Painting 1st half of home, which he finished before any other company could arrive on site. Removal of huge load-bearing wall and replacing with a 26 foot beam! Full kitchen remodel, and turning an office and utility bathroom into a master suite with a walk in closet and a separate laundry room. Plus new flooring through most of the home and large amount of drywall replacement. John and his team was not only able to remove the load-bearing wall, but they also raised the dropped ceiling in the kitchen, which made a HUGE difference in the final product. But beyond just doing what we asked, he had invaluable suggestions that we were really grateful for, such as sectioning off a foyer area in our open floor plan, changing the grout on the kitchen tile so that it wouldn't stain so easily, the type of wall paint needed that wasn't glossy, but was easy to clean, and countless other details. As we worked with him, we learned to trust his esthetic eye and input, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Our friends and family were all very impressed such a renovation could be done it that short of a window, and done well. The cabinets installed are very high quality with soft close hardware we just love. Custom built pantry and insta hot system for the sink. He worked with us to come up with solutions and kept the job moving every day. Would highly recommend! read more

I have nothing but praise and thanks for John Burns and his crew. He did a huge remodel in my 1900 sq. ft. home, including removal of an interior wall and raising a ceiling to create an open concept kitchen, overhauling 2.5 bathrooms, and transforming and updating my entire house. He and his crew work FAST, their craftsmanship is exceptional, they're always friendly, and they finished ON TIME. I am over the moon happy with the work they did, and I will 100% use them again for any of my future construction needs. Such an amazing remodel experience with them. Thank you Burns Construction! read more

John and his crew are literally THE BEST! Everyone is so friendly and respectful. Even though John is busy he always makes time to communicate. I always felt like I was listened to. There was great attention to detail every step of the way. Everything ran so smoothly. His bid was fair and we stayed right on budget. We are so grateful and appreciative of our new kitchen, new bath and newly constructed half bath. We love it! read more

We are extremely happy with our expanded and remodeled kitchen that was completed by Burns Construction. We went back and forth for about a year with John Burns, getting other quotes, rethinking the job, and changing aspects of the plan before we finally moved forward. During that time John never failed to return my calls, answer my questions, ballpark me additional costs, and put me in contact with various folks to price out different aspects of the job. It was a fairly complicated project but it never fazed John and he was always straight forward, reasonable, and honest about the cost and the work that would need to take place. We started work at the end of Feb 2020 and about a third of the way through found ourselves in Coronavirus self isolation. I'd like to extend an extra thank you to John and his amazing crew for adapting and continuing  working where possible under very difficult circumstances. The quality of work and professionalism from all the crew that helped complete the project was top notch. I never had any hesitation to trust any of the crew in our home and they were all really polite and pleasant as well as being highly skilled tradesmen. The majorly disruptive parts of the job were completed in a very reasonable amount of time and every little detail of things was finalized before the last payment installment. If you are looking for an honest and reasonable contractor with a highly skilled crew to do a professional job then definitely check out Burns Construction. You should know what you want and be mostly clear about the plan before you undertake the work. This is a general contractor not an interior designer. I would not hesitate to have John and his crew back to work with us again on future projects even after multiple weeks of being under construction and back and forth with John during a global pandemic! Thank you Burns Construction. read more

Hello I'm not any Yelper by any means. What can I say, other that John and his most awesome, professional, honest, top notch quality crew did an amazing kitchen remodel for us. John and his crew were always on time, on schedule, worked clean, communicated and delivered. John was always accommodating if we had something in mind that wasn't considered. Not to mention the reciprocal honesty and guidance John gave on what would work and wouldn't. My wife and I could not be any more happier with our kitchen outcome. John made this the best construction work experience. The compliments that we have received from all that come over is nothing short of amazing. John, Matt, Joe, Gabe, Jeff, the counter top crew and anyone else I forgot. Thank you, thank you for such an amazing job. We have more work for you! read more

I found this company on yelp and called them based on their good reviews. I have now completed a pretty massive remodel and couldn't be happier. Quality work at a reasonable price and this team has literally made my dream a reality. I have to admit I can be nit picky and even in these times they worked with me and catered to my every wish! Huge shoutout to John who since the beginning was very responsive and timely and honest. I've now recommended them to multiple friends that they've done jobs for and I can't say enough about them. Sadly I have found in recent days that this level of service and communication is hard to come by and it blew me away. Here are some of my after photos for reference. read more

John and his crew are absolutely amazing! I had Burns Construction replace my master bath shower with a walk-in shower. Travertine subway tile, pebble floor, glass tile inlay, floating shelves, glass doors, and a rain shower head were all installed by true craftsmen who took the time to do it right. Would recommend John and his crew to anyone needing remodel work done right! read more

Burns Construction - Wonderful new shower installed by Burns Construction! Great craftsmanship and awesome customer service! - General Contractors Near Me - Carmichael, California

Jon and his team are amazing. We purchased a Fisher & Paykal dishwasher from lowes and it was a lemon! Lowes gave us the run around, but finally replaced the washer (about a month later) They sent the worst installer to put it in. I wish I could remember his name/company. That installer said it could not be placed where the broken one was housed...weird. So I called John, told him the deal and he came out within 2 days and installed it at no charge. Again, can't say enough good things about Burns Construction. We will always use him for our contracting/remodeling/building needs. read more

John is everything you would ever hope a contractor would be: he's no BS, he's patient, he's responsive, he's on time, he explains everything in full detail, his guys are super respectful and best of all, he has a great personality! Seriously, that's important when you're working on a project that could take a month or two. We couldn't be more thrilled with our new master bathroom that John and his guys created for us. It is stunning. It's more beautiful than we could have imagined and it's hands down more beautiful that any inspiration we found on Pinterest! We dreamed it and John and his guys made it our reality. We are so thrilled to get to enjoy this gorgeous new space! Can't wait to have them do our guest bath next! read more

Burns Construction - The gorgeous finished masterpiece! - General Contractors Near Me - Carmichael, California

This is way overdue but John is super easy going, gives a detailed, accurate, and reasonable bid. His crew is polite and responsible and the finished work is outstanding! He's always in contact whether he's there is person or via phone or text. Our major remodel started right on time and would have been finished on time had our sewer line been intact. Ew. But nothing throws John. We're working with him now to get back on his schedule for more remodeling. read more

We hired John to do a complete whole house remodel, including a full kitchen renovation and rearrangement (included taking out a peninsula and adding an island and removing and moving a support wall to do so). There was completely all new flooring applied throughout (travertine tile, ceramic tile, carpet, hardwood), new bathrooms (tile, walls, vanities), crown molding, new windows, new doors and entry door, paint outside and in, all updates for our home stuck in the 1970s. I first contacted him a year before we started work (the hold up was completely on our end, he was always ready to go) and he patiently put up with a year of our questions about the process, renovation ideas, revision of our remodel plans, etc. He was quick to respond and answered thoroughly. A year is a long time. Thanks, John. What I appreciated most was how easy it was to work with him. Completion was on time and it all happened within our initially established budget. Not only were his prices much more reasonable and doable than all other contractors we spoke with (there were many), but it always felt he was honest with his opinions/recommendations and he put a lot of time and effort into getting us what we wanted within our set starting budget. He was always incredibly accessible and easy to talk to. He knows customer service, but I also think he's just a super cool easy going guy. Important to also mention, once we moved back in and they continued to do the final work on the house, John ensured that he and his crew had the areas they worked on cleaned up and safe. We felt very comfortable with his crew and got to know them as they finished up. My 2yo talked about making coffee for them and has asked for us to tell him bedtime stories that include him and John Burns. :) I would fully recommend John and his crew to any friends and family and have passed along his info to many. We have future plans for additional work and we'll definitely give John a call when we're ready. Much Mahalo and Aloha to you and your crew, John. read more

I called for a consultation. He came out and looked at my project, which was a little unusual and probably would be a pain in the butt to do. He said he would write me a quote and send it to me over the weekend. It's been a month, and I never received the quote. I think that is unprofessional - I understand if you don't want the job, but I would prefer you tell me up front rather than have me wait on a quote that is never sent. read more

Built a railing into our second story deck. Matched the wood style perfectly and painted it to match. Can't even tell it was added on. He did a great job and wouldn't hesitate to call again read more

Burns Construction is a great reliable and honest company. I have worked on several jobs with John and his crew and they do extraordinary work. They pay attention to detail and take pride in there craftsmanship. I recommend Burns Construction to anybody looking to have a great job done by a company who takes a lot of pride in getting your project done in a timely manner and is honest every step of the way. read more

Our project was completed in September 2021 and consisted of a kitchen remodel and new floors, doors, and paint throughout the house. The kitchen/family room was dramatically transformed by removing the upper cabinets that hung over a peninsula that cut the room in half and reconfiguring to make the kitchen more spacious and functional. Many months later and we are still so happy with the way our project turned out and the quality of the work. I've heard so many horror stories about contractors who demo and then disappear for weeks/months. That was definitely not the case here. John was very organized and and planned ahead to ensure that we didn't begin until he had firm dates from the cabinet sub and there was good communication about when he would need to have the materials selected/ordered so that we wouldn't get behind. His team of workers made a lot of visible progress almost every day (even though he warned us that some days the work would not be as visible due to the nature of the work). Our project was completed on time and at a reasonable cost. Overall John was a pleasure to work with and I would absolutely recommend him!!! read more

John and his entire crew are great. John is a nice guy who's easy going and easy to communicate with.The guys on his crew are respectful, hard working, show up on time and clean up at the end of each day. As an at home mom alone with two kids I sometimes get a bit uncomfortable when there are a bunch of workers around but I never feel that way with John's crew. We've worked with him on two jobs now and will definitely be calling him for any future construction needs. read more

I've had many projects around my house done by Burns Construction and the quality of work has always been excellent. I always recommend Burns Construction to people when they are looking for a contractor. The prices are fair and the workmanship is superb. read more

John and his team did an amazing job on our office addition! The new structure looks like it's part of the home since it was originally built! His team was fun, friendly and professional throughout the entire project and John did a great job keeping me in the loop on schedules and milestones. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a remodel or addition in the greater Sacramento area. read more

If you are looking for high quality work at a fair price John B. is your guy! We have used Burns Construction several times. Most recently he did a bedroom remodel in our 1926 house. He added sconces, new electrical work, replaced all the crown molding and trim and did a beautiful paint job. He also replaced our fence and built us a swanky redwood deck. We trust John so much that he will be doing our big kitchen remodel this summer. We have recommend Burns Construction to friends and family and everyone has raved about him. Big thumbs up! read more

No complaints about Burns Construction. We had 40 feet of sagging wooden backyard fence that needed replacing. I got quotes from 3 contractors and Burns came in at about half the price of the other two. They came out and did the job in a day, and the new fence looks great. read more

John and his guys did a wonderful job with my project. Fast too. I would recommend him to anyone.

John and his great crew (Hi Matt) did incredible full remodels on our master bath and kitchen. The ultimate professional, he performed top quality, detailed work at a fair and reasonable price. Unlike other contractors I have used, John completed the work on schedule. He does the electrical himself and his subcontractors are terrific. I am very picky when it comes to details but John and I were on the same wavelength during the whole project. My wife and I could not be any happier with our beautiful new kitchen and master bathroom, and we sure get a lot of compliments from friends and family. Thanks again John! read more

John and his crew just finished a complete tear out and rebuild of our kitchen. This is third remodel of a kitchen, and this was by far the best experience we have had. Not only was the price very fair, but as we made enhancements and changes along the way, John took them in stride and completed the job in record time. John and his crew were extremely Professional and paid particular attention to details. We have no qualms about recommending him for any job. read more

We hired John for an extensive remodel. Remodeling the kitchen, both bathrooms, new water line, windows, carpet, wood flooring, crown molding, painting the house inside and out, and concrete work. John listened carefully to what we wanted, did a great job communicating and coordinating with my interior designer, made any changes we requested with aplomb, and the house looks elegant. My designer would love to work with him again, and even the inspector commented on what a nice job John did on the house. He and his crew got the job done on time, were very friendly, extremely helpful, and left the place clean every night. If I need anything else done for the house, John will be the only one I will be calling. read more

I met John Burns about a year ago. He was the Contractor for one of my kitchen/bath cabinet clients. This was not an easy kitchen. The client had chosen a huge, 3ft deep refrigerator. The only place to install it was in the corner. This meant that the cabinet en closer was going to have to be built out. I was concerned. When I saw the finished kitchen, all I could say was WOW!!!! Honestly, the whole house remodel was spot on. I have never seen such workmanship. John can think out side of the box, thats a unique quality. Since then I have worked with John on several kitchen projects. He is my #1 referral for kitchen and bath cabinet installs. He can do it all! Great personality, easy to work with, listens to what you want I definitely recommend Burns Construction for all your remodeling projects read more

If you are reading this then you are probably at the stage that we were not too long ago. We had an extensive remodeling project and we needed to find a contractor. What would it cost? Will the work be high quality? How long will it take? Can we trust the contractor? Will the contractor understand our vision? You may be dealing with the same questions. Having heard many contractor horror stories, we set out on the search. Our job was extensive, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, master bedroom, new floors, etc. We interviewed several contractors and decided to talk to John after finding him on Yelp. To us, a contractor needed to demonstrate quality work, reasonable cost, and the ability to instill confidence. John and his crew did an amazing job on our house. He did a great job to keep us informed along every step of the way. He listened to our ideas, offered his, gave us several options. John is an excellent craftsman, a fantastic people person and we couldn't be happier with him, his crew, and our house! read more

John and his crew at Burns Construction are absolutely the best group of guys I've had to work on my home. They are professionals and take great care in the work they do. They are fair in price, honest and reliable. They are timely, prompt and clean up as they go. The work they did at my home is top quality and looks better than I could have even imagined. I have an older home with wood shingles on 2 outside walls, they removed those old shingles and matched the wood siding perfectly to match the rest of my house. What an upgrade !! Makes my house look so much more current and modern! I love the work they did. They are timely, prompt and clean up as they go. I will continue to use their services and highly recommend them. read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets! That Yelp rating terms certainly hit the nail on the head when it comes to Burns Construction. John and his crew removed 4 box lights in our three bathrooms, patched the holes, and retextured the wall to perfection. They reinstalled new lights that we purchased and they look fantastic. The crew also demo-ed a very large inset lighting fixture in our kitchen, by reframing, installing new drywall and retexturing the ceiling. Once the 6 new can lights were installed the kitchen lighting looked amazing. If we ever needed a contractor again John Burns and his crew would be our first choice. read more

We recently completed a kitchen and bath remodel and we couldn't be happier with the project and with our contractor, John Burns Construction. Although it was a good chunk of change, the checks were some of the easiest I've ever written. The quality, cost, schedule, professionalism, and comfort with the construction crew compels me to write this review (my first on Yelp). 1. We selected John Burns construction as he came highly recommended by two different neighbors on our street who had similar work done and because he gave us a very reasonable proposal. 2. John and team went the extra mile every step of the way, whether it was plumbing, electrical, structural, painting, hardwood floors, etc. all of which had been included in the original cost. 3. We added a few items as the project progressed. All were performed at very reasonable prices. 4. My wife and I made a number of small changes to the project. Each were handled expertly by John and company and most, if not all, were performed at no additional cost. 5. They seemed to be experts at figuring out how to handle the "tricky stuff" that comes up. 6. They started and completed the project on the day they said they would. This was very critical to us as we had eight additional people spending the night at our house for several days over Christmas just six days after project completion. 7. I've long been a do-it-yourselfer and it was our first time with contractors in the house for an extended period. We felt very comfortable with John and his crew as well as his subcontractors. However, I must say that we enjoyed the day when we got the house back to ourselves. 8. To our surprise, our contract included a deep cleaning of affected areas by a professional cleaning company. read more

We had an issue with water intrusion in an upstairs bedroom. We called several companies, but Burns construction stood out. He was extremely helpful and spent a great deal of time diagnosing the problem with water tests. When we finally found the source of the leak, he was able to come back in just a few days to repair the leak, replace the drywall, and baseboards. We also had him install a chair rail and fix a portion of our fence. He did an awesome job and we plan to give him a call whenever we need any additional repairs. read more

I called around a bit when my fence blew down and eventually found Burns Construction here on Yelp. Based on Mr. Burns's competitive quote and the good reviews here, I hired him to replace a few sections of fence. He and his employee were prompt, courteous, and professional at all times. He got the fence repaired quickly and for a great price. And he left my yard SPOTLESS. It was as if no construction had taken place- not a scrap to be found. After I paid him and he was on his way out, he noticed a board missing on the other side of my yard. He went over and fixed it for me at no extra charge. That's the kind of guy you ought to hire. When do you ever get such customer service these days? I couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

After interviewing 6 or more contractors, we decided to move forward with John. I was a little hesitant to pick a contractor from Yelp but I am sure glad we did. Burns Construction is exactly what we wanted in a contractor. He listens to what you want (which we found out was rare), he shows up on time, can execute your vision at a reasonable price. He had a great attention to detail and was 100% reliable. John gave us a realistic timeline of 6-8 weeks and exceeded our expectations by having a top notch kitchen in just 5 weeks. John and his crew were respectful, clean and made the whole construction process way easier than we were anticipating. We lived through the 5 weeks of construction in the home, while our kitchen and walls were being torn down and rebuilt. John and his crew were accommodating and very professional. They removed walls, demoed a 35 foot wall down to just 8 feet, installed a beam, replaced wood paneling with new dry wall, texture and paint, replaced my kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, etc. and installed flooring in nearly half of my house. They finished ahead of schedule in only 5 weeks! I would recommend Burns Construction to anyone looking for a reliable contractor whether a big or small project! read more
