John was fantastic to work with. He was very honest, and tried hard to help keep costs down. He had me take on some of the work, like hiring installers directly for cabinets, counters, tile and painting. He provided the demo, framing, electrical and plumbing work, and some other services. His team removed some non-bearing wall, added additional outlets, provided framing for new built-in pantry, new appliance install, new venthood install through the roof, new ceiling lights and fans installation, recessed the fireplace hearth, and he gave me a few names of the other specialties to hire directly. I would definitely love to work with John again in the future! read more

I had John take on some minor wood repair work for me.

Although John did not end up doing any work for me, I really appreciate his honest assessment. After a termite inspection, our inspector had pointed out several spots where the wood had showed damage and said they needed to be replaced or repaired by a contractor. John came out and he actually said that all I needed was a painter or a handyman to patch up some spots and paint. None of the boards had to be replaced. Thank you John; I would not hesitate to contact him in the future. read more

I had termite damaged beams under my deck that needed to be repaired and/or replaced. John Burke was one of 3 general contractors referred to me by Dixieline on Sports Arena. I texted him photos of termite damaged beams, to which he responded, was his specialty! After I verified his construction license, and called on his references, I hired him. His proposed solution made a lot more sense and quite a bit less drastic. I normally would've preferred fixed fee for a job, but agreed to his time and material cost proposal because I thought it was fair and reasonable. His workers Roger and Dino were quite pleasant and kept the work area clean. They did an excellent job, matching repaired wood with existing. John gave me helpful tips to help prevent future termite infestations. I was happy to find a good construction company whose owner John is committed to providing value-added quality work at a reasonable price. I definitely will call on John again for any construction projects and any termite damage repair in the future. I highly recommend him. read more

We are very pleased with the results and are looking forward to the summer with our deck and adjacent NEW fence. read more

John Burke Construction did a major remodel on my home. Considerable structural work was required to remove and reposition several sliding glass doors and windows. A new electrical panel was installed and new circuits added to accommodate kitchen appliances and other upgrades. 2 bathrooms were completely gutted including removing most of the slab of the downstairs bath with all of the plumbing and drains rerouted for a walk in shower, a wheelchair accessible shower and soaking tub in the master bath. New electrical fixtures, tile throughout, built in cabinets, appliance installation, a new fireplace, paint and stucco. All of this work was done under permit and passed each phase on the first inspection. Every step of the way, John took care to make sure that all of the work was to my satisfaction, meeting with me frequently to walk through the job, ask questions and offer advice. His crew worked carefully to make sure everything was perfect and went out of their way to protect my house, furniture and fixtures. They were clean, neat, organized and courteous. The sub contractors John used were top notch. All of the trades did a terrific job and exceeded my expectations. John kept a close eye on his subs and was not afraid to tell them to re-do something he wasn't satisfied with. I really enjoyed working with John. He always put my interest first and made sure i was satisfied with each and every detail of the job. I would recommend John Burke Construction for any level of remodeling work. I am completely satisfied. read more

John Burke came highly recommended by a local bed and breakfast owner who had used him for several jobs on her properties. He also got rave reviews from three other past clients I spoke with. Two of which are architects. I was invited to see one of his BA remodels by one of them. It is immaculate. Initially, I was looking for a bathroom remodel on my small 1930's Hillcrest home. When John came to look things over we went down into the crawl space. There he noticed my original sand and rock foundation and commented there was a way to preserve it and stop it from crumbling by coating it with a special material that has a vertical hardening property. In fact, I had been concerned about this for years, John's explanation and solution made sense. I jumped at the opportunity to do something which didn't involve pouring a new foundation. In addition, it seemed like a good project to start with before launching into the BA projects. John and his workers Roger and Kelly came through. They were on time, always courteous, took pride in their work and cleaned up before they left each afternoon. John listens and comes up with knowledgeable suggestions. He finished the job on time and came in well within the range of his original estimate. John genuinely likes old homes and knows his way around the quirks. I plan to use him to put in a BA with a shower downstairs and remodel the existing small BA upstairs. read more

John has completed several projects at our home, including a garage expansion, a patio deck and overhead, and, just recently, an expansion and remodel of our master bathroom. In each of the projects, he and his crew have also made a number of small improvements, such as plumbing and electrical repairs, while onsite. In tasks large or small, the attention to detail and quality of finish has been outstanding. In the case of the bathroom, the crew rerouted water lines for more efficient hot water delivery and carefully trued the wall framing of our 50's home to assure a smooth surface for the new tile. So, while what we see is the beautiful execution of our vision for the space, we are equally pleased with the quality that lies behind and beneath. John's personal standards are passed to his staff and the great network of subcontractors he brings to a job. He provides explicit instruction and reviews work product carefully every step of the way. We recommend John Burke Construction without hesitation, and would rely on him for any future home improvement project. read more

We actually found John Burke Construction (JBC) through one of his sub contractors who had been recommended by a friend. After doing our due diligence which included verifying his license, speaking at great length to John C. (see his post) about the work he had done at his home and going to a job site that Burke Construction was working on at the time we hired JBC. We can't possibly improve upon John C.'s comments as they are all true and spot on. My husband and I are very happy with the work we had done which consisted of electrical work, gutting and remodeling the kitchen and 2 bathrooms, tile work throughout. paint, and rebuilding our patio cover. At John's suggestion we also had the ceilings and walls replastered. What a huge difference it made and the cost was minimal. We are also very appreciative of John Burke's ability to keep us on budget. We intend to hire John and his crew again for a rental property we have. read more
