JH Custom Homes Inc. (949) 325-3098…read more I'm writing this review to recommend JH Custom Homes for any of your home construction/remodeling needs. Through Nextdoor, I was referred to James Hooper, owner of JH Custom Homes. Our remodeling project (01/2023-04/2023) consisted of new construction windows, stucco repair, painting, a new bathroom shower, a new master bathroom shower enclosure, and a total kitchen remodel including custom cabinets. Mr. Hooper is extremely knowledgeable about all areas of construction (design, demolition, building including state/local building codes, plumbing, electrical, etc.). Mr. Hooper and the rest of the professionals in his employment demonstrated the highest regard for all work performed in our home. All work was done to perfection!

My experience with James Hooper and JH Custom Homes was beyond great. James went above and beyond…read moremy expectations. He and his team are respectful, professional, efficient and clean. He has an eye for and attention to detail, which I believe differentiates him from others and elevates the project from good to great. The craftsmanship of his work is beautiful. James and his team create an environment and working relationship that produces a less stressful remodel experience than one would expect. James listened to my thoughts and vision...he even made a few suggestions that I had him implement into the project. James and his team produced the kitchen of my dreams. Actually, my kitchen, under his direction, exceeded my expectations and dreams. I highly recommend JH Custom Homes! My husband and I look forward to using James again on our next remodeling project.

We really hope this review saves your time and money…read more This man is incredibly unprofessional and unreliable. And we are trusting idiots who gave this man the benefit of the doubt even with wrong size shower niche, poor caulking job, unlevel toilet, uneven drywall patchwork, unreliable work hours, and being late on every task until now. This man is ghosting us because we told him what he did wrong. Initially got quoted $6850 (labor only) / 2-3weeks for both bathroom and kitchen renovation. Paid him $7050 for the past 3 weeks but the kitchen and bathroom are still unfinished and unusable. Michael kept adding $200-500 for additional tasks which ended up being 57% more of what he initially quoted. He was never working full 8 hours as he promised and would skip some days of work. But we were still being patient with him since he told us his wife got pregnant and his mom passed away two weeks ago. He heavily relied on his brother and father to finish the work for him. And he would leave early on the days his family couldn't come help him. He does not cover any furniture or appliances during construction and leaves trash (including his lunch leftover) in the house. He also doesn't know how to read BOM's or instructions which made us waste a lot of time fixing his mistakes and redoing the work. Week 4, we told him how unsatisfied we were with the quality and the pace of his work. He packed his stuff and left. He doesn't respond to our texts. He doesn't pick up our calls. And hasn't fixed any of his mistakes. TLDR; Michael provided poor quality services and put us at financial risk. He agreed to fix his mistakes but now he's just ghosting us. Please hire a licensed contractor for you job so you don't lose your money.

We had some bathroom repairs and it was taken of promptly. We also had some minor garden work and…read moreMike was able to take care of it as well. Price was good and came in about the same as others that responded to my work request on Yelp. The big difference was that Mike was willing to attempt the backyard work I had. It wasn't a lot of yard work but it saved me a lot of time from asking my kids to help me with it.

Well I usually write my reviews as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; unfortunately there was NO good…read moreto this story. So here ya go, I needed to get a gate built on the side fence of my house, and to have an area grated and prepped to park an RV on. I looked quite a few places and settled on Craig's List, looking for companies that were local, as well as licensed and bonded. While I have no problem hiring someone that is neither, the last time I did I got four grand worth of cracked concrete, enough said. Anyway, I found Done Right Contracting on Craig's list and gave them a call. After several calls back and forth a the owner came to my house and gave me a bid. It seemed a little bit steep: $2100 total, $1400 for grating and placing decomposed granite in my back yard and $700 to construct a gate, but I thought that since he was a licensed and bonded contractor with a long history in the field the job would be done right. WRONG!!! My first mistake was that I thought when you hired a licensed contractor that he would do the work, not so. He showed up with a 55+ year old hispanic gentleman who he quickly put to work while he "managed" the job site. Evidently this job was more than the gentleman signed up for because on the second day he failed to show up and I was told that he quit. Now, I was told, I would get a fantastic gate because the owner himself would be building it. (there are many words which I would use to describe the "gate" that he built me for $700, none of which are fantastic, nor would they be allowed to remain on Yelp! so I will let you figure it out) Anyway, upon completion I came home and saw the finished products. First I called him to ask when he would complete the parking area and was told "it's done". Looked like dirt on top of dirt, but I was told that was what decomposed granite looked like. OK, serves me right for not doing MORE research. Lets get to the $700 gate. First he left the original rotting 4x4's and simply tied into them. Then he recycled the old hardware from my original gate and used it. And, oh yeah, the gate DOES NOT open. "Well, thats because of the weight of the treated wood. Call me in about 6 weeks and Ill take a look at it". What kind of mickey-mouse outfit is this? I had to purchase wheels which I mounted to the bottom of the gate so that it would open, I had to purchase a lock to mount into the ground so that the gate would not swing forward when the wind blew. I had to call 4 times before the guy would even come back and look at it, to which he responded " look, your a long way away. I will get there when I get a chance, but you got what you paid for." Well I beg to differ, I got a piece of crap 7th grade wood shop project called a gate, built from $165 in treated lumber (much of which was discarded because he mis-cut), that would not and could not open. So, I guess what I am trying to pass along to you, the potential consumer, is that if you want to severely over-pay for a project, the quality of which your daughters girl scout troop could complete in a day, and deal with a complete imbecile who cares nothing about the quality of his work or the name of his company; well you've come to the right place! Your better off spending $17.00 for the do-it yourself book at Home Depot and hoping for the best.

EDIT: Changed my rating to 1 star after Brad didn't reply to my messages. Drips were not installed…read morecorrectly. One tree was missing a drip, and ALL drips were not staked so they blow all over the place with wind and water pressure! I asked him why he charged $800 for drips, which is TWICE more than others. "Because we're top of the line and do it right!" Yeah, right. Done Right Contracting??? More like DONE WRONG CONTRACTING!! Worst contractor ever...

I gave Outright a call because I needed to redo my bathroom vanity. I talked on the phone with…read moreDamian and he was happy to come and check it out. Meeting him in person, he was very well spoken, and professional when it came to asking what I wanted my vanity to look like. I gave him a theme that I wanted it to look like and he agreed to making it work. He explained to me the ideas that he had and I fell in love with the whole design he came up with. The next following day his crew came out and started working on the vanity. There was never an issue on communication which was a plus in hiring Outright again for future projects. After everything was finished, I was honestly surprised he was able to execute flawlessly the concept gave him. Definitely the best contracted I've had!

PBC listened to what we wanted and then delivered above our expectations. They really focused on the quality and details, and also made some great recommendations to enhance what we were trying to achieve - such as relocating the air conditioner unit and upgrading our gates. Definitely inquire about their custom gates. We love ours and have received several compliments from the neighbors. We had a couple of changes/upgrades to the original plan but everything was done quickly, efficiently and at a fair price. We were also impressed with how early the team arrived each day and the progress they made. Project included concrete demo, pouring new concrete, drains, some landscaping and gates. Patio cover was done by Southern California Patios. PBC and SCP worked together closely to ensure expectations on both sides were exceeded.

I am looking to replace the tile, redo the shower, move the toilet, run 240 to add a washer/dryer, replace/add countertop and cabins, and replace fixtures. First, time we schedule for him to come on a Tuesday morning at 8, I woke earlier to open up this time slot because I still had to go to work. He text me at 7:20, telling me that the 91fwy was closed possibly because a bad accident, so he asked if we could reschedule for the next day at 8AM. I agreed. Wednesday morning comes, no call, no show, and he did not respond to my text. Thursday evening: Hi Jeremy. I apologize, I've lost my cell phone yesterday morning at a gas station! I wasn't able to recover my contacts and messages until this evening. I apologize! I will give you a great discount on your bathroom remodel. Apology, accepted. I get it, shit happens but he's not looking good at this point. So we rescheduled again for than coming Saturday(today), ultimately we confirmed that he'll arrive around 12ish.. Currently, it is 2:56pm. Same bs..I called, when straight to voicemail. He has not responded to text. As I said, totally unprofessional!

When we finally locked down a slot, he texted that he had arrived and then never responded back, ghosting me.
