Long overdue here... Tyler and team took care of our home in Glassell Park/Mt Washington area…read more Unfortunately at the top of the year when the crazy rains hit we had tons of water damage in our bedroom below an upper level deck. By the end of the investigation of problems we had every French door leading to a deck replaced and 50% of our hardwood floors. Tyler came highly recommended from our mediator and he wasn't wrong. Goodhand was very professional and kept us understanding what was happening throughout the whole process. They completely interfaced with our insurance company to get the budget for the build to the right level and would always go back to them when something new was discovered. To say there were road bumps is an understatement....what made us so happy was Goodhand would never settle for just OK. if they found an electrical problem when they opened a wall it absolutely had to be fixed. I know a lot of contracts who just sweep problems under the rug but not this team. Does the best come at a price? I think the answer is always yes. I'm sure you can find a cheaper alternative out there but if you want your project done correctly with professionalism this is your 1 stop shop period. Highly recommend!

We didn't think we'd ever need to hire a contractor. After all, the relator and seller of the flip…read morepromised everything was "brand new to the studs and only the finest quality!" But as multiple problems surfaced we found a highly recommended carpenter to help us out. He quickly determined that our dream house was a nightmare and that we would need more than a carpenter to fix it. He recommended the best and most ethical contractor he knew, Tyler, at GoodHands Builders. We had to wait a few weeks to get on Tyler's schedule, but once we met with him we were impressed with his creativity, knowledge, and honesty. He is a straight-shooter who carefully explains what work needs to be done and why. He worked with us to find the best solutions for our needs and budget. We gave him a list of over twenty items that needed fixing and he offered to charge us cost-plus since it would be so hard to estimate so many small jobs. That seemed very fair to us. Work began and we received electronic bills every two weeks with transparent details that aligned with what was happening at our house. GoodHands workers/crews/subcontractors were respectful of us and our property. They showed up on time, worked hard, and cleaned up daily when finished. We had two guys who worked at our house six days a week for over a year. I felt totally comfortable being alone with them and leaving them alone when I wasn't home. They demonstrated the same integrity that Tyler did. (They once returned a ten dollar bill they found in the street near where my son's car had been parked shortly after he had left.) In addition to the crews who were here, either Tyler (the owner) or Stephen (the project manager) stopped by daily to make sure everything was proceeding smoothly. When workers found problems (like a screw through the copper piping in the bathroom, walls that were supported by 1x2s instead of 2x4s, cracks in the foundation, showers that didn't drain because they were level instead of sloped, improper water proofing underneath the tile, concrete pavers that rose up causing tripping hazards because they were used to hide a decaying driveway, and a shear wall that wasn't) the crew communicated to management and together they worked to find a solution and only then would Tyler or Stephen bring it to my attention. So while each of these surprises cost us money to fix, by the time I was told about them there were already solutions for us to chose from and plans to fix it. At one point, we realized that we were going to have to tear out the entire primary bathroom and redo another shower because of the flipper's previous faulty work. We decided to borrow from the adjacent bedroom and make the bathroom larger and add a custom closet so we'd have something good to show for all of the time and money we spent on repairs. We discussed multiple layout options with Tyler and he would prepare drawings and estimated costs for each one. The end result is a truly stunning bath and walk-in closet. Everyone we know who has worked with a contractor says that it has cost them more time and money than they expected. At then end of their projects, they all talked about how much they hated their contractors. They were right--it did take more time and money than initially expected. Some of that was due to supply chain issues related to the pandemic, but most of it was related to the shoddy workmanship of the seller and the surprises he left us. None of it was due to the contractor. Before, during, and after the work was was done, we didn't hate our contractor, we felt incredibly grateful to have found him. He saved our house, our sanity, and our investment. When we found new problems we felt fortunate to have someone we trusted to take care of so many unexpected surprises. After the repairs and remodeling were done inside, we again hired GoodHands to remove a cheap plastic lattice and metal structure outside and replace it with a custom-designed cedar pergola stained to match the house. As I write this, we had an electrical problem in the kitchen and thought we needed a couple of outlets replaced. One of the crew checked it for us and found plastic pieces inside the disposal that tripped the GFI switch causing the outlets not to work. It was just a small example of how GoodHands continues to save us time and money. I don't know how they came up with the company name but with GoodHands Builders we really are in good hands!

I was looking for a contractor to build my garage into an ADU unit. I was a bit hesitant to…read morecommission just any contractor because of the so many horrific stories I had heard from friends and friends of friends about contractors taking off with their money, doing a terrible job, or just not finishing the job they were paid to do. One of my wife's coworkers heard that my wife was looking for a contractor to build her an ADU unit and told her about a very pleasant experience she had with a gentleman that did worked in her apartment building. He shared his information with her in case something went wrong, and she needed them to return. She told us that he had done a phenomenal job and that everything turned out just beautiful. My wife and I visited her to see the work he did - we were very impressed. We got the contractor's information from her, and I called him up and setup and meeting to talk about his experience and other work he had done, and today, I am so glad we did!!! Jose the owner is a true professional. I just knew I wanted an ADU unit, but Jose assisted me and my wife by asking us many helpful questions about things we never thought of. He was patient, thorough and very knowledgeable of every aspect of construction. After half hour of talking with him, we knew we had found the right person for the job. He was very friendly and did not mind that my wife and I kept asking question for over 2 hours. He was happy to address any concern we had about building the ADU unit. A few days later, he called us to see if we had any other questions or concerns. At that point, we knew we were ready to contract with him and move forward with project. We received his estimate and it was very reasonable. All items that were going to be included in the project were broken down in detail. I felt at ease and it made me realize just how honest, trustworthy, and true Jose is to his estimates. A couple of days later after receiving the estimate, he called me to talk about any concerns I had with the contract and if I needed to know about any item on the list. My friends if this is not good and honest service, I do not know what is. At that point I was ready to begin the project. Jose and his team of professionals started the job on schedule. After every workday, his team cleaned-up and left the premises clean. Jose would call me or my wife in case we had any questions and would take time out of his busy day to walk us through what they were doing, and to know, if thus far, we were satisfied with the work they were doing - WOW!! I will also say Jose manages all aspect of the project, he is very approachable, and if you have any questions, he is always a phone call away. Every time we had any question, we called, and if he did not answer, he would get back to us that same day. Any issues that arose during the project, Jose would walk us through and explain the options we had including letting us know what options would keep us on budget or overspend. Jose and his team began on time, stayed on time, and kept the project on budget. This is exactly what you want from a contractor. I wanted to express my complete appreciation for the excellent service that my wife and I received from JLD construction for our new ADU unit. The Project was extremely successful and the ADU unit turned out just beautiful and my wife and I could not have been more please with their work and professionalism. His work exceeds all expectations and I recommend JLD construction to anyone that wants a great job done, on budget and by a true team of professionals. See the pictures for yourself!!!! THANK YOU JLD CONSTRUCTION!!!
