Jimmy Construction

Highly recommend Chris and his team! They did a wonderful kitchen remodeling job a couple of months ago. His quote was competitive and finished the job on time. Well, if you have done any bigger projects before, 1 – 2 days delay isn’t really a big issue.
Chris personally showed us various stores and recommended what to buy from where! That’s not all, his team also replaced the old electrical outlets with the new «safe» ones! Who does that?
Chris definitely managed the whole project efficiently and his team literally worked from 9 to 9 to meet the deadline.
Thanks Chris! Really appreciate it!

I’ve worked with a lot of General Contractors over the years, and Jimmy Construction is the best I’ve ever worked with. I needed a gas fireplace and hearth removed, the gas capped off, a paneled wall removed and new drywall and sheetrock put in, a new section of flooring put in to patch and match our existing hardwood floors, and a good chunk of the house painted. Chris from Jimmy Construction came out, looked at every aspect of the job and gave me what seemed to be a very fair price. On the day the work was to begin, Jimmy and his crew arrived on time and while Jimmy reviewed every aspect of the job with me to be sure we were on the same page, his crew immediately set about protecting our furnishings. They were very careful but moved very quickly, so I could see that they were experienced and knew what they were doing.
Throughout the project I received phone calls and texts messages from Jimmy at least once a day to update me on their progress and see if I had any questions or concerns. He was great about this. Each day when they left I was impressed by how clean they left everything. They demolished a fireplace and hearth and removed a paneled wall, but did not leave one shred of any of it behind. Unlike lots of contractors who leave trash, water bottles, and other debris behind, Jimmy’s crew cleaned up every day before leaving.
The quality of the work was perfect. One wall they painted had a tacky rubber baseboard which I expected them to replace with another plain one. Instead they made a beautiful wood one which they had grooved to match the baseboard in the adjoining room. This kind of attention to detail and willingness to put in a little extra time for the best result is another example of why Jimmy’s has so many 5 star reviews. Everything turned out better than expected, and believe it or not, they finished ahead of schedule even with my last minute request to add on another small project.
Chris was pretty easy going and not salesy at all, so he didn’t show me the portfolio of work Jimmy has on his phone. Ask to see it and you’ll be very impressed with the range of projects they do, and also the creativity and design work that they’re capable of. I saw photos of a house they built with beautiful pillars and archways that Jimmy designed. These guys do it all, and I’m confident they do it well!

Chris and his crew did a terrific job with the remodel of my two bathrooms and LED lighting installation in my kitchen. I already referred him to two of my friends, so I obviously was very happy with his work. Chris is reliable, knowledgeable, honest, thorough, flexible, accomodating, and, most importantly, he does good quality work. He even accompanied me to the tile and stone vendors, so I could show him exactly what I wanted, and if I wasn’t sure, he was right there in case I had any questions. I usually don’t like to deal with contractors, but Chris will work with you and will let you know if something is not going to work and the costs involved so there are no surprises. I would totally use Chris again if I had any additional work in the future.

Last year, my parents purchased an older house in Palo Alto. The house had 2 hallway bathrooms. What we were missing was a bathroom in the master bedroom. We decided the best way to do this was to build an additional bathroom for the master that would flow and work well with the floor plan of the house.
We got an architect who ended up referring us to Jimmy and his son Chris. After getting a few quotes from other contractors, we decided to go with Chris and Jimmy. As for the price range, Chris and Jimmy were a bit on the higher side; they weren’t the most expensive but they weren’t exactly the cheapest either. We decided it was best to go with Jimmy because he seemed very knowledgable and detailed in his work. He made us feel comfortable in trusting him with our home.
Fast forward 3 months later; Jimmy, Chris, and their crew did an amazing job. It was well worth every penny we spent on it. We loved it so much that we ended up remodeling the hallway bathroom too. They were so prompt and accommodating to our wants and needs. My parents and I are still waiting for their schedule to free up a bit so they can come back and work on our kitchen!

You never know what you get with contractors. With reasonable expectations, it’s a win-​win. With that, I can highly recommend this company.
Chris is very nice guy. He listens well. He advises well. The wife had some initial thoughts about some dining room /​kitchen area rework. His keen insights led us to some new thoughts and today, we have a wonderful French Door
connecting our dining room to the backyard deck.
Chris and his crew are highly competent and efficient. The main work was done quickly with some follow up.
Of course, everyone’s home and situation is unique. For us, it worked out well and will consider this company for future work.

If you are looking for passionate and professional people who care about the quality of their work Jimmy Construction is the best in the area. I cannot explain how great of a job Chris and the rest of the team did for my parents’ two bathrooms. His attention to detail, work ethic as well as his dedication to his job is outstanding. I highly recommend them, you won’t be disappointed.

Thanks for the quick and fair priced turn around on my apartment renovation. Working with Chris was easy and he really gets what the customer wants and will also let you know what will work and what won’t. His experience show and you won’t be disappointed when all is said and done. Thanks again for the great work and service.

Sometime last year, my boyfriend and I purchased our first home together. Although it’s not perfect, it’s ours. With finances running a bit tight, we decided the first thing on our to-​do list was to remove the hideous popcorn acoustic ceiling.
We met with several contractors and finally settled on Chris from Jimmy Construction. They were highly recommended from a close friend who recently had some work done by the company. Their pricing was quite reasonable, not high, and not too low.
Throughout the process, Chris was very professional and great when it came to answering all of my questions and concerns. As a new home buyer, I must admit, I am not the easiest to deal with. I was concerned with every detail and had tons of questions. Chris was very patient, answered all of our questions, and walked us through each process.
What we really appreciated from working with Chris and Jimmy Construction was that they went above and beyond what we had contracted them for. They were kind enough to extend their discounts to us and helped us save on some of the costs of materials. They also helped remove old hardware from our walls, patched up the large hole it left behind, and re-​textured it for free.
Overall, we were very satisfied with the work that we received. We would highly recommend Chris and Jimmy Construction. When we’re ready, we will definitely have Chris come back to do some more work.

I was referred by Chris thru a mutual friend who had work done by him in the past. He gave us a fair bid, wasn’t the cheapest but I was worried about all the horror stories from people about shady contractors. Anyways, Chris did an awesome job. He helped us select materials and let us use his license for discount on materials such as paint and tile. He helped us budget our costs and took his time when it came to helping us save money with materials. Overall, a great experience and he finished our two bathroom remodels in three weeks time. Fast and beautiful work, no skipped corners. I’m so glad I chose Chris and the guys from Jimmy Construction. Highly recommended!

chris and his company did a great job on the remodel of my kitchen. they completed the project on time and within budget. i’d highly recommend them.

This review was long overdue. Chris and his crew remodeled my house back in 2012, but I never had a chance to write a review until we hired Chris again for our recent bathroom project. We were so pleased with their work from 2012, so there wasn’t even a second thought to call for other estimates this time around. We wanted to remodel and reconfigure our entire master bedroom; includes removal of walls and repositioning of vanity. Their crew methodically worked through the process and finished before the deadline. I’m very meticulous when it comes to designing my house and Jimmy’s Construction made my design became a reality. Chris, we will definitely do business again in the future.

On a very windy week, the wind knocked down our side fence. Obviously, this is an unexpected expense so we wanted to make sure we got the right contractor to do the job right. We were referred to Chris and talked to him about our situation. He had a very busy day but still made time to come out to our house and take a look. Unfortunately the damages were more severe than we thought (wood rot). He explained the situation to us and provided his professional advice on proceeding with the repairs. He gave us a very competitive rate and was able to start the repairs the following week. What we really appreciated was the fact that he was very punctual and under promised and over delivered! He finished the job a lot quicker than he originally quoted us. The guys that worked with him were polite and friendly as well, which is important when they’re working at your home. Thanks to Chris and his team we now have privacy between our neighbor again! And we are already booking him for another home project!

I was referred to Jimmy construction through a friend. My Insurance company was requiring some work done for a rental property. The wind had knocked down a good portion of the property’s fences and there was also random debris all over the yard. Chris was able to come out and provide a reasonable estimate the next day. THe insurance company required the repairs to be done within 3 weeks. Chris and his workers were able to knock it out within two days. Thanks Jimmy Construction for taking care of this hassle for me and making it super easy!

Chris has outstanding managerial skills. He supervised our project in 2013 (brand new master bedroom, plus 2 additional bathrooms) and we were really happy with the outcome. He is customer service oriented, addressing our concerns in timely manner and the work speaks by itself. I will highly recommend him for your next project.

My family recently purchased a home last summer in the bay area; with the rising home prices we weren’t able to afford a brand new home. Instead we purchased a fixer upper knowing that we had to take care of a few things. I was referred to Chris (Jimmy’s son) by a close family friend who had a bathroom remodeled done a few years back. We received a few bids for a kitchen, floor, and fireplace; Chris and Jimmy’s estimate wasn’t the lowest but they were in the mid to high range compared to the three other contractors but he made us feel comfortable and his work portfolio was beautiful. The job was very well done and in a timely manner. Thank you so much!

I had a great experience working with the team from Jimmy Construction. They helped me with sewer issue that was causing us problems for over 6 months. The consultation and work all happened very quickly. A big part of the work was around digging this huge hole in the front, but it came out very well like nothing ever happened. They were even kind enough to come back out a few months later to fix a different plumbing issue for us free of charge when it wasn’t something that they had to do.
I would highly recommend Jimmy Construction for quality work!
