We had a terrific experience with Calaveras Construction for a rather small project in our 1980's…read morecabin. Because the project was small, we had experienced problems with other contractors not taking it seriously or wasting our time by always delaying the start due to other other more lucrative business opportunities presenting themselves. This didn't happen with owner Mike. Mike immediately arranged to meet with us, gave us a good quote and then slated a time to start the project which he stayed committed to! More important, we could not be more thrilled with the work. Mike was able to completely understand the aesthetic we were trying to achieve and it is evident in the superb craftmanship of the finish work. As issues came up (as they always do with projects) Mike was able to clearly articulate the problem and provide creative solutions. We especially appreciate Mike's knowledge of code since he is also a licensed home inspector. As we shared our ideas, it was comforting that he had the ability to point out issues and steer us away from anything that would violate code or potentially be unsafe. Mike's crew is talented, friendly and extremely neat! We would recommend Mike and his team for a construction project of any size and would hire him in a hot second if we ever decide to build the dream home in the mountains!

From the owner: Calaveras Construction Company has a long standing reputation with the carpenters here in the…read moremountains, and Mike is lucky to know them all and choose the best for his projects. The carpenters respect him for his honesty, reliability, workmanship and the fact that he uses the best materials available. Owner and builder, Mike Jarnagin, moved to Arnold in 1968, graduated from Bret Harte High School in 1984, and joined his step-dad in the construction business. On his way to earning his own Contractor's License, Mike has experienced all aspects of the construction trade in the beautiful Calaveras and surrounding counties. Growing up and working here in the trades for the past 20 years gives him a knowledge of the land, good and bad, that can be applied when consulting or contracting with him for your construction needs. If it is choosing a lot, building a home from scratch or a re-model, or just moving some trees and dirt, you can be guaranteed of first-hand knowledge.

Without them we would be stuck, we have friends who didn't want to pay their price and got a real terrible experience paying less.

John Allen Construction impressed me from our very first meeting. John delivered on his promises…read morewith honesty, accuracy, and professionalism--completing the entire project on budget and on time. I essentially gutted my cabin and added square footage, a major undertaking. From the foremen to the subcontractors, every person on the team was exceptional. John and his crew truly collaborated with me to bring my vision to life, offering thoughtful suggestions and recommendations that elevated the final result. Their responsiveness made it easy for me to stay on top of decisions without delaying progress. What stood out most: the job site was always clean and secure, and they work with high-quality, affordable subcontractors who share their commitment to excellence. I highly recommend John Allen Construction for any renovation project--large or small.

Sept 8, 2024…read more Recently I had Jeff Nolan come out to my property near Avery to view some repair work needed on a building. Jeff was courteous in our meeting and agreed that he would do the repairs and send me a work order via e-mail with a cost estimate. Regrettably, Jeff did not furnish me the cost estimate at all. I waited a week for the estimate and made several phone calls and left messages on his cell phone asking if he had made the estimate yet. After a week had passed when I heard nothing from Jeff he sent me an e-mail saying he decided he couldn't do the job until next year. This was in conflict with what he told me when we met at the property a week before. i had to come 82 miles on the day we met to discuss the work needed. Jeff did not act in a professional and organized manner in this negotiation. He was not business-like and pulled the rug out from under me and made no attempt to get me satisfied. I could not recommend him as a contractor because he apparently does no employ fair business practices. I have made known to the local home-owners association at Love Creek to beware of this deceitful contractor who can't be trusted. John Gibson Folsom, Calif

I'd like to say I can't wait to work with them again, but we need a little reprieve from construction after several months of remodeling, haha.

Complete Construction & Realty. So glad we decided to go with this company for our master bath…read moreremodel. John, the owner, and his crew did a flawless job from start to finish and we couldn't be happier with the result. It's a beautiful bathroom and was done with care and respect for our living zone. John provided a bid with a complete breakdown of project tasks and included materials which left no questions on our end. He provided info on where to get our bath products, tile and countertops and said it would take about 2 weeks to complete. ("yeah...right" I thought to myself). It took 2 weeks and a day (including shower glass installation)! From day one, they would show up at 8 am sharp, wait for the entire crew to arrive before knocking, and work straight through till 5pm. They were clean, courteous and meticulous in their workmanship. John would let me know what would occur over the next couple of days which was great as I was able to have things ready for the crew to power through and get it done. John even came back out to the house to re-install a mirror (we opted for a larger mirror) after the project was completed. By far the most pleasant construction experience to date and I highly recommend their services.
