Cal is the man... no really... he's the man that can do it all. Reasonably priced, great service, prompt and open communication, and just overall a nice person. I never had an issue from start to finish with Cal. We had a huge leak in our townhouse on the 2nd floor (kitchen level) that ended up leaking into the garage. We asked Cal to help us restore the garage back to its original condition, which included replacing the ceiling drywall, texturizing, painting the entire ceiling, and reinstalling the garage racks. Cal handled it all. He started when he said he would and ended around when he predicted he would. At the end of our project Cal said "Let me know if you ever need anything else." I replied, "Oh, you will definitely be my go-to and you will be hearing from me." Cal is my contacts, and I look forward to having him help me on other projects. Thank you Cal! read more

Wanted to leave a follow up review to let others know that soundproofing that Cal did for my house has been amazing and I don't hear a darn thing. His work quality is amazing and unlike a lot of other construction related folks, he did not charge an insane fee and made sure everything was alright and followed up well. 10/10!! read more

Cal is a great professional contractor. Honest and dependable. I did my homework and had many quotes and Cal's was the most reasonable. Can't wait to post more. read more

Cal Jackson Construction - Repairing drywall - Painters Near Me

We needed to revamp our living room and get more space. Our fireplace was in the way, exactly where our couch should go. Cal demoed our fireplace, reframed, drywalled, textured, painted and installed flooring where the brick was previously. I did not have matching floors and there were multiple layers of flooring that he worked through to help blend the LVP. He is fairly priced and nice to work with! Would use cal and team again. read more

Cal did an excellent job repairing the drywall texture in our family room. He skimmed the wall, re-textured and painted, looks good as new. He was communicative, on time and stood behind his original quote for the work when it ended up being a larger job the expected. Highly recommend, thanks for the honest work, Cal! read more

I decided I wanted to remodel at least 1 of my bathrooms in 2025, and received quotes from 3 different companies. Of the 3 companies I met with, Cal Jackson had the best price, was honest and direct when I asked detailed questions, and showed me pictures of ongoing and recently completed projects to confirm his work would be the quality I expected. I told him that if the first bathroom went smoothly, we would immediately transition to the second bathroom upon completion of the first. We did that exact thing. Cal and his team worked quickly, cleaned up after themselves on a daily basis, and were super nice guys that were a pleasure to have in my home. Cal was also flexible and worked with me when I wanted to add to or slightly change the details of a specific part of the project. He was great at giving me lay out options or walking me through the pros and cons of a decision. This was very helpful for me. I'd highly recommend Cal Jackson Construction, thanks Cal! read more

Cal did my drywall. I said I was flexible because he had another job in my area. Cal rescheduled one day, no show and no call another day and cancelled when he was supposed to be at my house the third time because he got a big job that he estimated before coming to my place and had to get supplies. He did say that I could call later in the coming weeks to see if he was available, but the rate would now be higher. read more

I quoted 6 different vendors do my garage restoration and renovation after a slab leak. I chose Cal because he was extremely knowledgeable, reasonable cost, and seemed like a really good human! He is probably one of the nicest people you'll meet, and his work was ON POINT. We had our garage popcorn ceiling removed, old tube lighting removed and replaced with recessed lights, dry wall repaired, and all walls textured and painted. It turned out amazing and my wife and I are so happy with how the garage looks THANK YOU CAL! We will 100% be coming back to you for future work. read more

I would not recommend this contractor. He talks well and wins your trust. On the first day he showed up himself, but after that he sent only his helper while he stayed away. I hired him, not the helper, and had to insist that he return to finish the final coat of paint. He also switched the paint I chose to a cheaper grade without telling me. and later tried to charge extra for work he had already promised to take care. What was supposed to be a 5‑to‑6‑day job dragged on for two months and is still not fully complete. I will never hire him for any project again. read more

We had the opportunity to have Cal work in our home today and let me tell you that it was a pleasure. You can tell by his craftsmanship that he's a true artist with a brush. Add that to him being such a nice guy while constantly keeping in touch with you on when he will arrive. So call Cal first and if he's booked I'd say just wait till he's free, you'll be happy that you did. read more

Thanks so much to Cal and his team for doing a bang-up job on installing drywall in my new garage! The garage was bare with only wooden framing - Cal was super communicative about the whole process during the project and gave me a super clear breakdown on what they could do on the job. I like to DIY as much as I can on my own, so I was happy Cal offered a discounted rate to only hang the drywall for me, without mudding or painting services required. They knocked it all out in a day and did an amazing job. Really appreciate Cal even giving me mudding tips and how friendly his crew was - even offered to get me a free estimate on a kitchen remodel for the future! Will definitely be using these guys again for more housework :) read more

We hired Cal to put complete a wet bar and barn door for us. I chose him because of all the good reviews I read. They cannot possibly be customers of his- totally bogus like night and day. Cal never showed up to complete the job therefore work we paid him for was incomplete. He and his contractors don't follow instruction for installation . They only look at what you have and put it where they think it goes ( such as cabinets). Cal wanted to charge us more to complete the job that theydidwrong. He will give you a time he would be there and would either not show-up or be 5hrs late without giving notice. Text is a hit or miss. Not reliable at all! ! we had to hire a new contractor to complete the job. We learned our lesson the hard way. Choose wisely! read more

Cal did a small stucco job for me and was on time, friendly, did a great job, and discussed future projects with me. I would not hesitate to hire Cal again. read more

Cal Jackson did an amazing job! Tenant moved out and need to prep the house for sale ASAP. When I met Cal, I stipulated, he needs to complete the job in 5 business days and he needs to start the minute tenant moves out. He agreed he can do it. At 10pm, I received text from Cal regarding his crew starting the work. He handles it all.... from painting, fixing the stucco, carpet, fixing all the misc items, etc. Most importantly, he was able to meet the deadline as promised. Great experience, I'd totally recommend them :) read more

Excellent job repairing the drywall and painting. Can't recommend him enough and definitely my go to guy in Orange county!!!! Thanks again

Cal was extremely professional and honest. He demo'd my daughter's bathroom. I mentioned to him that I had another contractor tell me that I needed all the valves in the bathroom replaced and Cal assured me that they were not an issue and not to waste the money. He was very nice, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. read more

My appointment was missed previously but the guy showed up 2nd time. I will follow up how is the job completed.

Call on Cal! Found Cal on Yelp as he was the first to respond to a project I posted. He and his crew did an amazing job on the drywall repair and paint job that was a result of a plumbing issue. Cal did what he said and kept the price as agreed even though there was some more work that the pictures didn't reveal in the project request. Cal and his crew are pros. I would actually go so far as to say his drywaller was more of an artist than a craftsman! Thank you Cal. You earned a place in my contact list ;) read more

Prompt response to my request of drywall patching and repaint, and they finished the work on a timely manner. Thank you.

Cal did a fantastic job on some drywall repairs, texture and paint. It blended in perfectly, he covered everything with plastic and cleaned up everything like he was never there. He was in and out quickly with a big smile and the best attitude, we will be calling him again soon. He does all kinds of work for any of your home improvement projects, a real full service contractor, you won't be disappointed read more

Got multiple quotes for painting exterior of house. He came in as best combination of price and service. They had all the necessary equipment including a sprayer, scaffolding, ladders and provided quality paint. The project took a bit longer than expected (a little over a week) but I certainly can't complain. They were accommodating to me in testing out a painting idea to see what it looked like first to see if we wanted it. Overall would definitely recommend! read more

Hiring contractors always feels scary but Cal and his crew put me at ease. I had drywall and plumbing work that I needed help with and these guys pulled through.

My husband and I were completely satisfied with Cal and know we made the right decision to have him and his team complete our home project. My biggest factors to go by were open/quick communication, competitive pricing, and quality of work. Would definitely recommend him. REQUESTING QUOTE Cal was quick to respond to my quote request via Yelp. We setup a time for him to come out and bid on the project within a couple of days. He was prompt and on time and provided us with a detailed quote that same day. It was very competitive in price. We then communicated by text/phone calls and he was extremely quick to respond. PROJECT TO BE DONE We had windows on our garage and wanted to have those removed completely and replaced with drywall/stucco/paint. PROJECT TIMELINE He originally quoted us a completion of 2 days, but once the project got started it ended up taking a little longer. However, Cal was quick to communicate and I was able to accommodate the additional time so that was a non-issue to me. FINISHED PROJECT I would highly recommend Cal to organize/coordinate any future projects needed. My biggest things are open/quick communication and competitive pricing - he has both of those.Cal and his team did a great job of completing the project to our satisfaction. read more

Cal was great and did a wonderful job patching up a wall that'd recently been opened up so a refrigerator ice maker waterline could be installed. Communication was fantastic and the price was right. I'll be contacting him again for future work at my house for sure. Highly recommended! read more

I hired Cal from a friend's referral to paint an investment unit in Palm Springs. Cal showed up with another helper to paint the approximately 850 ft one-bedroom unit. After setting things up and cutting, Cal departed for Orange County and left the other painter to finish the job. That night the painter called me to say that he was finished. Upon evaluating the job, barely half the unit was painted and what was painted was extremely sloppy. When communicating my dissatisfaction with his job, the helper got very mouthy and belligerent and tried to be threatening towards me. I don't know what his deal was, but needless to say it was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. He came back the next day and attempted to finish the job, but it still looked like a 12 year old did the work. Cal had to come back out to finish the job. When Cal was done he was paid in full at the agreed upon price. When leaving the property, I asked that he lock up and mail me the key. When the originally showed up, I explained that there were two keys, one for the handset and one for the deadbolt. I gave him the deadbolt key and told him I was leaving the handset in the unit, therefore only lock the deadbolt. Even his other painter got that right and only locked the deadbolt. I thought that would be pretty self explanatory. I guess it wasn't, as Cal locked both locks with the handset lock left inside the unit. Upon meeting another contractor at the unit, I discovered I was locked out. Cal refused to take responsibility for this oversight and has not been in contact since. I had asked him to mail the key to my Realtor, but he has not responded to my text messages requesting the status on the mailed key. He has blocked the number of my friend making the recommendation to him when we were simply trying to get an update on the mailed key to avoid hiring a locksmith. Basically, after getting paid he shined all of us simply not caring what happened afterwards. I had to hire a locksmith to meet my Realtor for her showing. My recommendation would be to avoid this contractor. Hire someone who is responsible and cares about their reputation. read more

I hired him two time for our recent projects and we are absolutely happy with his service. He is professional, very good listener and trying to address all our concern and surprised throughout the job at a very reasonable price. I definitely recommend Cal and his crew and consider using him for our future projects. read more
