JGR Construction really helped me out. I had a bathroom remodel that was messed up by someone else, and he came in, fixed everything, and gave me a great deal. The work was solid and stress-free. I trusted him so much after that, I had him do my solar too--and again, great job. Good people, great owner. I truly appreciate the work. read more

I recently hired Jorge and the team at JGR Construction for a 10 kW solar installation on my rental property, and they are easily the best contractors I've worked with. In my professional life, I audit contractors for large-scale projects, so I know exactly how to distinguish high-quality service from poor workmanship. JGR is exceptional. Technical Excellence & Superior Value: Jorge personally explained complex technical issues within the solar industry, which allowed me to make much better decisions regarding panel placement. They didn't just meet the spec; they exceeded it, doubling up on securing the rails with extra stainless steel screws and clamps. They also replaced my outdated service panel with a new solar-ready model and even handled a side project--installing a drop-down attic ladder--at a price that was significantly lower than other quotes I received. Performance & ROI: This 10 kW system produced more power than the home used even during the winter months. As we head into summer, I'll be generating credits, ensuring a very fast ROI. Meeting the 2025 Deadline: I had a strict deadline to complete this by year-end 2025 for tax purposes. JGR worked overtime to ensure the installation was finished and PTO was secured with PG&E before December 31st. Full-Service Professionalism: From managing city permits and code enforcement to the final Enphase app setup, they handled every detail. The crew was exceptionally cordial and respectful of my tenants. From a professional auditor's perspective, JGR Construction delivers 100% on quality and value. read more

Jorge from JGR Construction has been an outstanding resource throughout my commercial solar project. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with, and he consistently brought clarity and confidence to the process. Most importantly, he was able to execute and deliver, which made a big difference on a project of this scale. I highly recommend Jorge and JGR Construction to anyone looking for a dependable and capable team. read more

Jorge helped to mount my TV ( flush mount), recessed into wall. Also to adjust ceiling lights in my living/ dining area. The team is very professional, polite, on time. I will recommend them 5/5 read more

Last year we chose JGR Construction for the interior remodeling of some parts of our home. This year we decided to have the whole interior of the house painted, and we didn't know that JGR Construction also did painting jobs, so we were happy to call them to hire them again. JGR Construction came and did an excellent paint job. They were clean and well organized, they took great care of my furniture and personal things. The work was done in the agreed time. Highly RECOMMENDED! read more

I'm impressed on their high response time and quality of work. They quoted me quickly and gave me a price that fit their work ethic. They made the exterior of my house look amazing. What I loved the most was that they were careful and detailed oriented. I've used other companies and I hate that they leave a mess or drips on outlets. This company made sure everything was done right. read more

We used George and his crew for 3 projects. They do excellent work. George is very flexible and is a good communicator - keeps us informed along the way. They re-built a water damaged balcony, a bathroom remodel, and drywall repair due to a leaky pipe. Their workers are diligent, considerate, and perform quality work. Scheduling was a little bit of a challenge, but I imagine that's the case with most contractors these days due to Covid. But once they start - they're locked in and completely committed to the job. I'll be using JGR for future projects and renovations. read more

I talked with Jorge to do some work on my front yard. We agreed to remove the natural grass and replace one part with artificial grass and the rest with concrete. My family was very pleased with the finished work and now we are enjoying a nice front of the house and not to worry with my yard being dry because of the drought. Thank you Jorge! ... Next the hardwood! Take care, Elmer Latorre read more

We had our home remodel done by Jorge and his team at JGR Constructions after checking out his work firsthand from a referral. We evaluated almost 10 other contractors for our remodel but picked Jorge because we liked how thorough he was going though the details in our first meeting and made us comfortable that we were dealing with someone who was quite experienced. He and his team did our front entrance remodel, brand new kitchen, 2 new bathrooms, installed new hardwood floors, did a whole house electrical panel upgrade and installed a brand new HVAC, water heater and kitchen/laundry appliances along with painting the entire house over 3 months. His team did the majority of the work and he brought on a professional set of specialists to do HVAC work, counter top fabrication and gutter installation. His team was quite professional and his brother was a big help, picking up all the material required for the project after I had ordered it at the various stores in the area. He also readily fixed a few minor issues as we got to the end of the project to ensure that we were 100% satisfied. I didn't have to be present at any inspections from the city since he coordinated them very well and made sure they passed without any problems. At the end of the project, he delivered on-time (worked around delays caused by city for permits) & on-budget as written on the initial contract (except for any extra items discovered as the project went on). If there was one area that I would pick on that wasn't perfect, it would be that he could have given us advance notice of material or stuff he needed for the project rather than us having to scramble at the last moment. Given the local real estate market here in the Bay Area these days, it's quite tough to find good, reliable licensed contractors that deliver a quality product. Don't be surprised to contact Jorge for your project and be told to wait for 4-6 months to begin. read more

Had an appointment for 11am today with Jorge to get an estimate. When he didn't show, I sent him a text asking if he was still coming. He apologized and said he hadn't looked at his calendar and asked if I was available later in the day. We reset the appointment for 5:30pm. It's 6pm and he hasn't arrived. When we made the appointment, we noticed that we had an appointment a couple years prior for an estimate. At the time, we had a leak in our roof and water damage and had decided to do some remodeling along with the repairs. I looked back at my notes as I was wondering why we had chosen a different company and all that I had written down was that Jorge had come by our house and seemed nice. I couldn't find any record of ever receiving an estimate from him (though that doesn't mean there wasn't, it's been a while), so I'm just not sure what happened there. ** (see my update below) I want to be fair, which is why I've shared that from our previous meeting in person, he seemed like a nice guy, however, I think it's safe to say that I wouldn't be able to recommend JGR based on the two no shows today and disregard for my time and schedule. Update: Jorge called at 6:10 to apologize. I told him that I wasn't mad but that we wouldn't be able to do business. He does seem very nice and I appreciated the apology. He also texted me later, and was remembering that we didn't get an estimate last time from him because he had recommended an architect to us first and as we didn't have plans at that time he wasn't able to give us an estimate. This seems a good possibility as to what happened. We ended up deciding that we would do the immediately needed repairs and wait on the addition until a later time. read more

We contacted JGR Construction back in March of this year for a 500 ft extension. He came out the same day and while here he gave us some recommendations on our project plan. We really loved some of the ideas he had so, when we started working with JGR, we did incorporate those. The payment plan with JGR was predetermined, so there was never any problems/questions with payments. Once the team started the work, we realized how detailed they were. A few times Jorge would have his team redo something because he wasn't happy with the work, this left no room for any complaints from us. We were on a tight timeline and they were able to finish the work. We also really appreciated how they kept the work space clean and also cleaned the backyard/work space every Friday before leaving. A few times, we told them not worry about cleaning LOL. All of the employees of JGR were very nice and professional. We would highly recommend JGR Construction, and would not hesitate to work with him again on any future projects. read more

Jorge has worked on a full house remodel including plumbing, electrical, kitchen, and baths and now a large addition to our home. We really enjoy working with him and have loved the end product-- always getting praise from our neighbors and guests. George is honest, patient, good at communicating and has been a real pleasure to work with and keeps the project clean and on time! We would highly recommend him. read more

We purchased our current townhouse from its original owner of 30 years, and it needed a complete overhaul. On top of the usual kitchen & bathroom remodel, it needed architectural changes to enlarge the living space and relocation of the water heater and furnace. We originally started the project with a different contractor, but he was totally disorganized and dishonest with his quotes and the negotiation kept dragging on. Out of desperation I asked my colleages for recommendation and someone recommended Jorge. Jorge was very easy to work with from the beginning. He provided detailed, written estimates for our project, and gave us a lot of good design suggestions. Throughout the project, he consistently communicated with us on progress, issues, and found creative ways to overcome limitations. When mistakes are made, he acknowledges quickly and fix them without push back. We couldn't be happier with the final results! read more

I recently employed JGR Construction to replace my redwood patio arbor. From the offset, I was very impressed with Jorge's approach. He came on the same day as I made the enquiry to see the project. He was courteous, professional and knowledgeable, proposing a few options and showing me examples of the work the company had undertaken. I felt immediately at ease and had confidence in him. Jorge's professionalism continued - he was prompt in supplying an estimate (which was extremely competitive) and then followed up by telephone to answer my questions. He didn't keep me waiting when I contracted him to undertake the work. Throughout the project Jorge's team reflected his approach - they were punctual, polite, professional and very hard working. As with any large scale project, I had to make a couple of unforeseen decisions but Jorge guided me through the options, conscious of my budget and came up with solutions. On the last day of the project, we had heavy rain and it was impossible for them to complete the work. I knew that Jorge's team were booked on another large project the next day, but he organised things to ensure that my job was completed before they moved on. My new redwood arbor is a beautiful addition to my patio and I am very impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of JGR Construction's work. Some may say that should be expected, but what I didn't anticipate (compared with other contractors) was the level of honesty and professionalism I experienced working with Jorge and his team. He always did exactly what he said he would, he was reliable, he was committed to doing the best possible job, he went the extra mile when problems arose to provide solutions, and ... he is a thoroughly nice guy! I would not hesitate to employ JGR Construction again. Neither would I hesitate to offer the highest possible recommendation of Jorge and his team. read more

Jorge was awesome and easy to work with. His crew worked on our house due to water damage from our 2nd floor bathroom. The price was much cheaper than other contractors. JGR Construction did a good job and put everything back to normal. I'll work with them with future projects. read more

I have had a chance working with Jorge on several projects, big and small, on our rentals in San Jose and Milpitas since July 2017. Jorge and his team are hard working, always available, easy to work with. He also worked with us to meet our tight budget and get the work done right.... which I really appreciate. Thank you Jorge and the team very much!! I hope you will have time for us on our future projects... Tammy Falk from Pleasanton read more

These guys asked me to send me their plans for a proposal. "I'll get it back to you on Friday." Never did get a proposal. Next time, just say the job is too big for you to handle. Don't leave your (potential) customer hanging. read more

Jorge of JGR was recommended by a lady I met randomly around my the neighborhood. She spoke of him with high regard. I then browsed thru his yelp reviews and was impressed. I called and he agreed to meet the following day for inspection and quick estimate. He arrived as scheduled, inspected the property, shared some design suggestions and supplier recommendations. Jorge knew what was he was talking about. His quote was reasonable, not the cheapest but reasonable. I booked him for the job. Jorge was on top of everything. He was quick to respond whenever I needed him. I am very pleased with his team and the outcome of their work. Special mention to Javelino, his tiling guy together with Frank. They both did an amazing job tiling my bathrooms. His entire team was great! Looking forward to working with them again later this year for phase 2 of my project. read more

Jorge and his team were efficient, professional, skilled and always on time. Jorge was always communicative and explained next steps, prices, etc. His staff were excellent, courteous and friendly. Quality work and exceptional craftsmanship. JGR Construction has a broad range of skills and knowledge. It was a pleasure to work with them and I am ecstatic over my new home. I would recommend them without reservation. If I ever need anymore work done I sill sure contact JGR Construction. read more

We renovated our kitchen through Jorge and we are beyond pleased with the stunning result. They tore out the old cabinets, installed new cabinets, new countertop , backsplash, new flooring, new electrical outlets. Jorge's attention to detail and design decisions were noteworthy. What I really liked about him is his immediate response to text messages or phone calls. Made the stressful project a smooth move knowing that you could easily contact him with any queries. His team members are extremely efficient which matters very much ultimately in any project. They were here early morning right on time everyday and saw to it that every little detail was addressed. Best part was, they would consult us and inform at any point if there was any indiscrepencies Along the way of the project which luckily there were only very few. That kept us well informed of why they had to workaround a certain situation. The team was well versed in Handling electrical, plumbing, flooring issues too. His countertop installation team was very precise and did a beautiful job. They took no shortcuts. Jorge would personally check on his team's work every evening. We wouldn't think twice about contacting Jorge again for future projects. The only thing I wish Jorge had done differently was, if he had made the pricing plan a bit more transparent. In the sense, separating labor and material cost. That way one could budget themselves better much earlier in the project. But overall, we are very happy with Jorge's guidance and his teams efforts in creating the kitchen exactly the way we envisioned. The project was done on time as estimated. Any little final finishing touch ups were done wholeheartedly and with precision. Thank you Jorge and team! You guys rock!! See you all for our future projects. read more

JGR Construction - Kitchen remodel. - General Contractors Near Me - San Jose, California

We hired JGR to help us with drainage issues in our front yard. We knew we wanted to put in a french drain and our main goal was to have that done. Jorge came out the same day I called and did a quote and give us our options. We elected to put in a sump pump as well. The job was done very quickly (within 3 days). He even followed up to make sure everything was working correctly a few weeks later. Overall, we are really pleased with his work. We will definitely hire him again in the future should we need some work done. read more

This review is overdue. We have done several renovations before and to be honest, it's a hit and miss with the contractors you work with. This particular project we were quite nervous because it involved a structural element and was not just cosmetic. We met with several contractors including contractors our architect had recommended. We decided to go with Jorge because of his attention to detail and an overall comfortable feeling we had when we met with him. Luckily for us Jorge was able to work with our schedule. With any project there will always be unexpected surprises. What we really appreciated from Jorge was that he gave us options, explained the challenges and worked with us through the decision process both before the commencement of the project and during the construction process. Jorge's attention to details helped to ensure the design was both beautiful but also practical. He's also very responsive to your questions which helps everyone stay on track and schedule. In the end, we are very happy to have worked with Jorge and his team. They are a very professional team and I would recommend them in a heart beat (which we have!). On our next project we will definitely be giving Jorge a call- Thank you Jorge! read more

We hired Jorge to add a room in our house. He started work within 3 months after I talked to him. He also recommended very good engineer to do design. As promised , he finished the job within 1 month. His crew are very good and listen to our concern. They come on time and keep the place relatively clean even during construction. He gives attention to details and does quality work. On top of that he is responsive to phone calls, text message and very easy to work . All our friends and family loved the room that we added. Many of the folks told us that new room , roof , walls doesn't looks like it was being added . It looks as if its been there from very beginning. I highly recommend Jorge . It will be hard to find good contractor like Jorge. read more

I reached out to Jorge after my contractor stopped work on a complete home remodel. Jorge and his team were efficient, professional, skilled, and thorough. They were flexible when sub-contractors fell off time line and Jorge was always communicative and explained next steps, prices, etc. His staff were excellent, courteous and friendly. Quality work and exceptional craftsmanship. JGR Construction has a broad range of skills and knowledge. It was a pleasure to work with them and I am ecstatic over my new home. I would recommend them without reservation. read more

Jorge and his crew did a wonderful job in our kitchen remodel. They started and finished when they said they would. We kept withinour budget. We hear nothing but compliments on our wonderful kitchen. If you are thinking about remodeling doyourself a favor hire JGR Construction. If you dont you may be making a mistake. If you do you would definitely be making the best choice. You will not regret it. read more

We did a major remodel in 2010 that included an addition, totally new kitchen and bathroom remodel. Jorge was the most reasonably priced (I met with 7 contractors) but he was also the most down to earth. He is easy to talk to and honest throughout the process. His crew is also extremely professional, cleaned up after themselves each day and finished on schedule. We hired him again in 2014 for a complete master suite remodel and again we love the results! read more

We interviewed four contractors we found on Yelp to remodel my house. All of the reviews for JGR Construction were great, but we had no idea that Jorge would become our hero. He has such a great personality and is a very intelligent person with integrity. We had plans from an architect but Jorge suggested changes that improved the project immensely. He was always patient with us and always had an idea to deal with the bumps that arise with a 62 year old house. We truly can't thank him enough. Our project turned into a total house renovation with two small additions. Jorge changed the plans to remove little walls and further open up the space and he put the heater in the attic and turned the space into a large pantry for the new kitchen. He improved the ceiling in the kitchen and the sunroom that raised the ceiling. He added an eave on the house where a previous addition was done incorrectly. He handcrafted a beautiful mantel and added a gas fireplace among the many other improvements including new bathrooms, tankless water heater, roof and so much more. His team was fun to work with and we enjoyed them very much. They were dedicated to doing a good job and making us happy. We had no idea how to get ready for this huge undertaking and I would recommend that you purge everything you wouldn't want to put in your new home, in advance. We didn't and his team moved our stuff from place to place three times to work around. For that we apologize. And lastly, we know that Jorge will be there to answer any questions we have about anything. We are happy clients and as we look back on the whole project we feel extremely fortunate to have had JGR construction do our job!! read more

Update to my review: a year after our remodel was done, I called Jorge back because I wanted to change out the lights he had installed. Within 72 hours, one of his guys was at my house at no extra cost. It is rare to work with contractors that will accommodate that kind of request, especially a year after the job is done! He is the best! read more

We built our home 3 years ago and couldn't be more happy with the work Jorge did for us! He did almost all of our inside finishing work including 2 complete bathrooms, installing kitchen cabinetry and countertops , custom laundry cabinets, travertine tile work, hardwood, and trim. He is extremely detailed and had so many great ideas that we used in the design of our home (my favorite being our custom travertine and crown moulding fireplace that Jorge designed and installed). He is extremely talented and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend JGR construction to anyone looking to build or remodel! read more

I don't write reviews that often but I must say this recent project urged my attention. We recently bought a house in Gilroy and planned some unique remodel to the property. I had been consulting other contrators in and around the surrounding area for potential estimates and I must say Jorge's quote was not only reasonable but within our budget. He brainstormed with us on new plans and even helped us choose the right material by going with us to the hardware store. Although due to an unforeseen tragedy within our family we had to stop our project in the middle and Jorge was very kind and gracious enough to understand our situation. Although, we did request him to finish our patio project since he already started on it and he was not only ready to work on it but he did an extremely phenomenal job using the existing material from the demolition and finishing all the work in just ONE DAY!!!! How cool is that.. but wait there is more to it - He even cleaned after the work and hauled away all the debris as promised. We were thoroughly impressed with his professionalism and overall attitude and we just can't wait for him to start back where we stopped. I would happily recommend anybody looking to remodel their existing house to get Jorge on the job if they really care about timelines, adaptability & overall complete satisfaction. THANKS JORGE!!! May God Bless you good health as you are already blessed with a good heart :) read more

I called JGR Construction because of all the good ratings they had, and felt they must be doing great things. I was very pleased when Jorge came over to see us to discuss possibilities. He was very nice and easy to talk too. He checked out my Kitchen because i wanted the whole kitchen remodeled and he even gave me some ideas. All his crew, Edward, Bernardo, Valintine, Frank, and Tony the granite cutter were excellent workers and very nice and considerate. I wanted my kitchen done in May and they were able to plan everything. I love my kitchen and the porcelain tile floors look amazing like real hardwood. They also remodeled my Wet Bar. Wow it's beautiful. Thanks so much guys. Sandi and Terry read more

Jorge and his crew recently (Oct 2015) finished a fabulous job on our new backyard! We got 4-5 quotes; he wasn't the cheapest but definitely not the highest. Jorge is very honest, patient and professional which is HUGE in my book. He takes the time to address last minute changes without any push back and worked within our budget. We were able to discuss every aspect to get the results we wanted, sometimes after the fact to redo and sometimes for additions. We added French drains, artificial grass, travertine, a bocce ball court (70 ft.), two custom built planters and much more. It was a total backyard overhaul and we couldn't be happier. Can't wait for summer to come so all our plants are grown in. I am hoping the timing works out so he can do the inside of our home soon! read more

We went through an estimate process with Jorge on a sizable remodeling project. We didn't end up using his service because we went with someone else who we worked with before. However, Jorge's professional courtesy, passion for his work and detailed estimate left an impression on me. His quote was so detailed that it helped us think of some of the items that we had previously missed in our planning and budget. I will definitely keep him in mind for future home remodeling projects. read more

Due to a code enforcement case the city forced me to build a carport. After talking with a handful of different contractors Jorge came out and quickly provided an estimate and timeline for the work. Jorge understood that I was looking for a no frills carport and his estimate was more in line with what I was looking for than anyone else I had talked to. Throughout the building process Jorge was very responsive to all questions and requests and his team was consistently there in the morning and very respectful. Jorge worked with the city to schedule all the required inspections and worked with the inspector to make sure everything that was required was done. From the beginning to the end of this project Jorge was excellent to work with. That being said, JGR Construction will be the first to be called for any future projects I have and will also be recommended to all my friends. read more

Jorge did hardscape and landscape make-over of our backyard. He was competitive and very reasonable in his quote. He finished the entire project well within the promised timeline. During the construction, Jorge and his team, were nice to work with and were mindful not to be too noisy (we had a newborn baby). During the upgrade, we encountered several unforeseen roadblocks (our's is an old property - where the backyard was a mess of concrete, stone and gravel). Jorge was very efficient in coming up with solutions and work-arounds, keeping them within our budget. Our backyard now, has something to offer everyone - play structure for my kids, party/BBQ outdoor entertainment gazebo for us, fireplace, and water efficient soft scape. We have received many many compliments for our backyard. We will be using Jorge and his team in future, whenever we do upgrade in the house. read more

Jorge and his team are fantastic! Jorge did a landscaping job for our front and back yards complete with pergolas and arbors. First of all, he listened to our requirements, preferences etc and then he really guided us with both design and picking up the right plants & materials for the entire project. All along the way, he continued to provide us options that eventually made our yards look wonderful and better than what we had expected! His quote was reasonable and any additional work was added with little hassle and full disclosure. We have worked with a few contractors over the years, and Jorge is one of the best. Honest, hardworking and knowledgeable. I will recommend him highly. read more
