Great contractor for getting your roof done! My roof was looking pretty worn, especially after the winter rains we just had. Not only was the quote reasonable for a pitched roof on a historic home, but his work crew finished working earlier than expected. The crew was really nice, professional. I would recommend this company for any roofing needs. I asked Joe and California Happy Homes to help with my garage remodel. It was in awful shape with lots of dry rot. Joe and his workers were fast, courteous, and helped me through the inspection process. The garage is now a great artist studio, a huge difference from a building I used to avoid. Thank you Joe and crew, you guys did a great job. Highly recommended if you need work done! read more

We needed a remodel done asap, and fortunately for us, California Happy Homes was available. Joe is a great communicator and has been a pleasure to work with. They put in new hardwood floors and remodeled the bathroom downstairs. And our master bathroom felt cramped. Joe and Izet performed a miracle with this small space and transformed it, giving this bathroom a modern makeover that maximized the spaciousness of the room. They followed through on the design, and delivered asap. read more

My mom was getting rather frustrated trying to find someone to do her bathroom remodel in her mobile home. She couldn't get contractors to return her calls and there were two contractors that were no shows.Some even said they didn't do work in a mobile home. She had totally given up hope. After much frustration of going online in search of someone who did bath remodels I came across California Happy Homes. I called and left a message never thinking they would return my call. Low and behold he called me 10 minutes later. Joe was very sympathetic to my moms situation and came over that very same day. He accepted the job. Within 2 weeks the job was completed. During the remodel Joe was there everyday to make sure everything was done to my moms satisfaction. Joe promised it would be done in 3 days and he delivered. His passion is to make sure his customers are satisfied and like his company name says.. Happy!! My mom proudly shows off her bathroom when company comes over to visit. Joe is an Angel!!

Joe and his team are great. We had CA Happy Homes remodel a kitchen, add a deck, install a fireplace insert and a number of other improvements in my daughter's home. Everything looks fantastic! Subsequently I hired them to update my home in Napa. Joe is easy to work with, fair, friendly, competent and reasonably priced. He takes time to explain the process and answer any questions or concerns. He genuinely loves his work and it shows in the final product. I will definitely look to California Happy Homes for any future home projects. I highly recommend Joe and his entire team. Paul Stevens read more

We've had Joe and his team help us with both exterior and interior jobs. They do great work. Joe handles all the communication and works to make sure you understand the amount of work they're going to handle and when they'll get it done. They work fast too and not afraid to show up on weekends or stay late to get the job done. The guys on the team are happy to discuss and recommend the best options out there and will help you find solutions that make you happy and, a lot of the time, either at the same price or even save you some money. Joe will tell you he's "here for you" when talking through the job and yep, he is! You tell him you want it a certain way and the guys will do just that. We will be calling him again in he future, Thanks again Joe! read more

Joe and his crew did an excellent rebuilding my front fence and restoring my redwood deck. The fence was being held up by an old wisteria tree which I wanted preserved. Not only did they save the tree, they made sure that the new fence was properly bolted to my home securely! While there, the crew members were polite and friendly to all my nosey neighbors! They cleaned up EVERY day so I did not have to worry about construction messes! At the completion of the job everything was sparkling clean and all my outdoor furniture was returned to its original place. They even left extra paint so that I could make touch ups when needed! Joe discussed what work was to be performed, and then discussed and recommended options for other repairs. I appreciated his open and pressure free solutions. I'll definitely use California Happy Homes again. The pricing is fair, but not the cheapest. I appreciate having work done according to code using the highest standards and that the little details that you don't notice are taken care of so that the job looks picture perfect. What a relief to know that the work is done quickly and honestly with a guarantee if something goes wrong later. I am a "happy" California Homes customer! read more

We couldn't have placed our complicated needs in more competent and caring hands! California Happy Homes took on not only repairing our ailing foundation (which needed serious help as it still had various issues lingering from the 2014 Napa Earthquake), but also built onto the back door entry a covered patio into the backyard, added new electrical wiring for the garage, new gas line plumbing for the whole house, new tankless water heater, and bathroom and laundry room plumbing and general updates. Basically, they reworked the guts of the whole house!! They did so with total care for our wellbeing during a pandemic, following all safety protocol every time. And the whole team showed extraordinary attention to detail, kept us informed and up to date with anything they found, and worked very hard to finish everything up within the normative time frame we had originally established. Basically, everything you could hope for from a General Contractor!!! Highly Recommend California Happy Homes!!! read more

We we very happy with decided to go With Happy homes for our general contractor work. Happy Homes was very friendly, knowledgable and got the job done in the time quoted. Priced very fairly as we did get three quotes. What more could you ask for! read more

My brother and I hired Joe and his crew from California Happy Homes to build drop ceilings around new HVAC duct work in 2 apartment units. Joe was very responsive and prompt in his communication and he came out within a few days to look at the project. During this very busy time, when many contractors don't even bother to call back, this professionalism was much appreciated and he was able to fit our project on the schedule (in a short time frame). The work done was excellent and even the HVAC contractor said, "you would never know that there was any duct work under that ceiling". We felt the price was fair as well and Joe's crew worked efficiently to finish the project, as scheduled, and in a timely manner as needed. We would use California Happy Homes again. read more

Joe is a special breed, he can make the whole ordeal of picking your whole life up from one place and moving it to another a much more pleasant and comfortable experience than any other such occasion I've had in the past. Plus he'll crack you up along the way. Very thoughtful and resourceful, thinks laterally and comes up with solutions to whatever crops up; I trust Joe and his outfit to see things through and he has great instincts. If you're looking for a different/better realtor experience who can segue into a contractor role seamlessly, look no further. read more

Joe and his crew did the retro remodel of our kitchen. The team worked quickly and were very respectful of our space. Joe's communication is great. He loves working with clients who may not have the standard " brushed steel & beige granite" kitchen in mind. (Though he's happy to work on those too.) He did a great job making sure that the crew clearly understood all of our kooky retro mid/mod plans. We got exactly the kitchen we wanted! We will definitely call Joe again if we need work done in other areas of our home. read more

California Happy Homes was hired by us to do the framing of our house in Napa. It came up short in a number of places and could not pass inspection. We have since had to hire another contractor to correct his work and we are now more than 2 months behind schedule. His incompetent work is also costing us a lot of money. And he is saying that we owe him money for a job that was less than inadequate and needs to be redone. I know that it's difficult to get decent contractors and workers in this post fire climate, but this is totally unacceptable. read more

My Husband and I was in the market to buy a House. California Happy Homes with Joe found a fixer upper Home and we purchase it and was very happy. Joe and his company also does remolding and we had him remodel our new home we bought. Joe and his men did a wonderful job. They did exactly what we wanted and the price was great. They were very professional. We would use him again and highly recommend Joe and the company not only for buying or selling a home but also doing the construction and remolding. It was nice we could buy the house and have the same company do the remodeling. Thank you so much we are very happy. read more

My wife and I were first time homeowners looking to remodel a bathroom. Joe and Izet were referred to us by friends and we couldn't be happier. Joe took us step by step through the process and managed the project to a T. Izet & his team were unbelievable and nailed every detail. The bathroom looks amazing and we get compliments from every visitor. I would definitely recommend Joe and Izet for any remodeling project. Amazing work! read more

Here is the Good and Bad about this organization. The Good: Tom, the owner, is a super nice and courteous guy. He is almost too nice, he would do well at Disneyland. He tried to the best of his ability work around my problem (which I detail below) and offered to lower the cost of my roofing job and pay for the damage done. So pretty good in trying to recover from a bad situation. However..... The Bad: They are a general contractor with a network of repair / fix-it guys. They are not the ones doing the work. This I suppose is what a general contractor does. However, the sub-contractor, which was to work on a lighting problem, was of really low quality. I asked for an electrician and what I got was a low quality handyman, even though the job (on hourly basis) would have cost 400$ an hour. The actual charge was 250$ but he stayed only 35 minutes. The "electrician" came one day with no tools and looked at the job and walked out and said he is not ready and has to get his tools - doh. This is after re-arranging all our schedules to make sure we were here during the day. The second time he came he had a small plastic bag (not even a tool box) and went to work. Within in 5 minutes he broke the porcelain lamp shade (which he was told explicitly to be careful with). The actual repair was done somewhat sloppy with electric tape rather than solder. Also a screw went missing and we never got a call back when we explicitly asked for information on finding replacement parts for what he broke. It was an extremely unprofessional job and smacks of using cheap labor. He also didn't speak english all that well, so it was hard to communicate. I didn't ask if he had a license. We were going to use California Happy Homes to do our roof, this was just a side job, but after this experience we are strongly reconsidering. That said, Tom the owner, was very apologetic and is trying to do the right thing. However, I think we will go with a local regular roofing company and not a remote general contractor. read more

The foundation Joe built in 6/18 was too short. Our addition is 9" too short on one side and 12" to short on the other for a run of about 25'. That means he can't read plans. Now he won't show up to discuss it, calls us names, and wants his final draw/payment. Our job is over a month behind just because of him... add attorneys fees to these costs... what a mess because he did not do quality work. He won't stand behind his mistakes. No good in my book. read more

We do not pay contractors who abandon the job site, does not finish their work then demand payment. California Happy Homes has UNHAPPY clients and is the worst contractor I have ever worked with. It's a shame they would even market themselves as a contractor. Contact me anytime and I will show you a 3rd party inspection report identifying 3-4 pages of poor quality work and deficiencies which, failed when inspected by city building department causing lengthy and costly delays. This contractor is a scrub. read more

California Happy Homes helped our family make the transition from The Bay Area to Chicago a breeze. We wanted to sell our home quickly and get top dollar like most folks. We were referred to Cali Happy Homes by a friend. Joe is the owner and his expertise and advice was delivered as promised and we sold our home quickly without putting a ton of $ into it. Everyone that worked on our house was professional and Joe went the extra mile to ensure everything stayed within our budget without compromising quality. We have had our share of sub-par experiences with remodeling in the past so I was compelled to get the word out to others. Joe is incredibly passionate and very fun to work with as well. Renovations can be stressful but Joe and his team ensured we were HAPPY. read more

I needed some hand holding as a first time buyer of a fixer upper in San Diego. Brothers Joe and Vince own CHH and are very professional and seem to truly care that you have a happy home :) Joe helped the buying process be painless (he explained things to me well), organized and he really fought for my best deal. He even gifted me a Target gift card so I could buy some of the fun decorative stuff I wanted for my bathroom and kitchen. Joe and Vince also helped me with remodel options and the pricing was very fair (I got 2 other estimates haha). What sealed the deal was that Joe introduced me to the crew prior and that made me feel comfortable as I am home alone sometimes. Vince managed the project expertly and stopped by several times to check on the work and me. He even brought my dog treats every time making friends fast! The crew was clean and professional and did a few little things no charge-total score! I will be having them back to do a deck. Highly recommend as I know have a "California Happy Home"! Thanks Joe and Vince and crew! read more

We had a portion of a wall removed to expand the entrance to our closet allowing us to access some dead space. The work included installation and finishing of hardwood floor at the door entrance to match with the rest of the room and installation of new doors. At the same time we changed our front door. Living in a 1920s house the old door was non standard. It was previously hung and installed poorly. Rather than order a custom door, we had the rough opening of the entry expanded to allow for installation of a standard size up to code door. It involved exterior stucco work matching trim and more hardwood floor work on the interior. Wow ...flawless work. We are so pleased with the results. The prices were very reasonable. Simply put joe delivered on what was promised. Timely clean and courteous crew. Fantastic work that increased the functionality and value of our home. read more

We needed a master bath remodel to start quickly, as we didn't want to move in until the work was completed. Joe came up with a completely different layout than we had originally imagined, and it turned out to be amazing. We had additional work that was needed throughout the house and Joe was able to take on that work as well (tile, flooring). Joe and his team were able to start within a couple of weeks, did a fantastic job, and completed the job(s) on time. Any time I needed to get a hold of Joe, he was always available no matter how small my concern or question. I'm very happy with his work. read more
