There aren't many people who can say they've been through two house floods, but we can. When our downstairs flooded in March, we knew we needed a company that could step in, take charge, and truly guide us through the process. Enter Travis Clark from John Christopher Construction who made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel seamless from start to finish. Not only did Travis oversee the complete rebuild of our entire downstairs, but we also added a brand new master bedroom closet and did a full master bathroom remodel. Travis and his entire team were incredible to work with. They were professional, reliable, and detail-oriented. There was never a moment I doubted the process, the trust, or the quality of the work, which says everything. Beyond grateful for this dream team and for turning a stressful situation into something we truly love read more

We reached out to John for a walkthrough and quote after running into major issues with our existing contractor and the difference in professionalism, clarity, and care was immediately obvious. From our first interaction, John was thoughtful, responsive, and respectful of our situation. He took the time to thoroughly walk through the site, asked smart questions, and genuinely listened to our concerns. What stood out most was how clearly he explained everything. It was the first time in weeks that we felt like someone was being transparent and honest with us. John sent over a comprehensive proposal that not only reflected the quality of work he stands behind, but also showed how much thought he put into the actual needs of the project. We were deep in the middle of cleaning up major mistakes from our original contractor and John approached our situation with care and practicality, not judgment. He made what was an overwhelming situation feel manageable. Ultimately, because of the financial impact of dealing with the previous contractor's mistakes, we weren't able to move forward with John's proposal at this time. But that decision had nothing to do with the value of his work, it's a reflection of the position we were put in. If we were starting from scratch, we would have chosen John in a heartbeat. We hope to work with him in the future and can't recommend him enough to anyone who wants to work with a contractor who's honest, detailed, and clearly takes pride in doing things the right way. read more

We had a top notch experience with John Christopher Construction. Travis Clark lead his team with the utmost professionalism. The team was on time, communicated well, clean, respectful and performed beyond our expectations. The job started earlier than expected and was completed within 3 weeks. The project included custom paint/cabinet doors/panels/counter top/sink and faucet install. A custom bar area with custom cabinet/door/counter top and tile were well thought out and executed. Travis's team also framed out 10 windows, 3 with custom trim. The quality of work was top notch, Travis was on the job site daily making sure everything was running smoothly and to his high expectations. With our results and experience through this process, we would highly recommend Travis Clark with John Christopher Construction for anyone's next renovation. We will use them again for sure! read more

We had an absolutely fabulous experience with John Christopher Construction! My backyard remodeling project has been quite the task over the last few years, and installing a prefab gazebo was the final element of my masterpiece. John Christopher construction came highly recommended by my architect, and Chris Manos is an absolute delight to work with. The entire team is prompt, professional, attentive, polite, and extremely talented. They were able to install permanent concrete support footing blocks to ensure maximum stability of the structure, and they put the whole thing together in a matter of several days. They answered any questions that I had, and made sure that the area was neat and tidy after they finished the job. Highly, highly recommend this company, they are amazing! Thank you so much. read more

We worked with John Christopher Construction on a substantial rebuild of our house after a flood, and they did an outstanding job! Our lead contractor Travis was extremely pleasant to work with and highly reliable. He was very communicative, responsive, and understanding of our vision of the end result, and orchestrated everything to ensure both timely and high-quality work. He and his team have great attention to detail, and guided us skillfully through what was, for us, a daunting project. All their employees and subcontractors were top notch as well. Our neighbors were impressed with how clean they left everything at the end of each day, and how respectful they were. We will definitely choose them again on any future projects, and we give them our highest recommendation! read more

The legalization or our circa 1949 338 sq. ft. JADU was a project proposal that few would even consider bidding. The preferred solution was demolition and new build. But our preference was the legalization of the existing structure. After engineering and County plan approval, we went to bid and chose John Christopher Construction as bid and project managed by Chris Manos. This project had several difficult nuances. The Foundation needed to be retrofitted without demolishing the structure. Unique is the Fotile in-counter dishwasher that makes functional space use of the corner countertop. Throughout Chris maintained communication and came through with solutions that brought our circa 1949 JADU into 2023 legal status with a fresh and updated style. Chris and his team saw the project through to milestone goal completion. Our JADU is permitted by the County, has a certificate of occupancy, and looks great! read more

John and his team definitely meet the 3 R's in remodel constructions. They are Responsive, Reliable and Resourceful so if these are the qualities you are looking for, do give them a call! Responsive: John always get back to me within an hour. If his voicemail is full, he will respond via text and that's perfect for me as I'm always in meetings. I don't know many contractors who get back to questions as often and promptly as John does. Reliable: I have heard many horror stories of contractors disappeared and not follow through on things. John is reliable and will come through on things he agrees to do. Peace of mind is one of benefits I enjoy working with John. Resourceful: John took us to different places for different things for various design look and budgets. If something isn't available at a retail, he and his partner will build it or think of other solutions. If we have another remodel project, I'd definitely ask John again! read more

Way overpriced. We had a slab leak. Chris sent a plumber who told us it would be $1100 to breakout concrete and repair. Chris then told me it would be $1800. When I asked why it was $700 more he said the plumber should not have given me a price directly and he had to make money. He then contacted the plumber and called me back apologizing for miscommunication and said it would be $1300. I said I wanted a second opinion and so Chris sent another plumber. This plumber suggested repiping through the ceiling instead of breaking out the slab. Chris said it would require more drywall repair that way and would cost $2000 including a leak detection test for more leaks. I agreed and got a bill for $2000 for just the repipe repair. When I questioned that amount for only 5 hours labor plus a helper for 2 hours, Chris said I agreed to $2000 and that it did not include the drywall repair. He then agreed to contact the plumber to review what was done and called me back apologizing for miscommunication again and said it would be $1250 plus $400 for leak detection test even though no leak detection test was done, He also gave me a separate quote to repair and paint drywall that was 3 times more than other estimates I got. I said no thanks. Next time I will just hire the plumber and handyman myself rather than pay double or triple to a general contractor like Chris. 5/27/18 Update: John called me to say he wanted me to be satisfied. Give him credit just for that. The work was done properly so the only issue was the high price and miscommunication. He offered to give me a refund which included some money back from the plumber as well as from him. He did not ask me to revise my review but I told him I would to reflect the more reasonable price. I am puzzled when a contractor that gets good reviews performs poorly or charges way too much. Maybe my circumstance was not representative but I don't know why and based on my experience, I don't know whether to recommend this contractor to others. I will say that if you use them and have an issue, at least they want to make things right. If the price had been reasonable from the start, I would have given 5 stars. I decided to change my original 1 star to 3 stars and considered 4 but I am not sure that 4 is representative. I did not get competitive bids from the start because I wanted the leak fixed quickly. Maybe I was taken advantage of initially due to this. I believe that Chris will be more sensitive to this with others in the future. read more

Chris helped me replace my very old and outdated water faucet in my sink in the kitchen so I can attach my Kangen water machine. He was very professional, went shopping for the correct parts needed and finished the job so quick and even cleaned up everything afterwards. I was a very happy and satisfied customer. Thanks Chris read more
