The city works dept managed to flood our downstairs with sewage water, and Joe Martines and his…read moreteam expertly handled every aspect of the repairs and clean-up. They worked long hours to put us out of our misery and leave our downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms looking (and smelling) like new . When it came time to fix our leaking roof terrace, I of course called Joe, and he did a great job. His prices are reasonable, and I intend to use him for all our future construction work. Hopefully it won't involve another sewage flood.

Joe is a life saver. We have called him in during two emergencies, and he has come through for us…read moreboth times. The first was to rescue us from a half-finished bathroom remodel where the original contractor abandoned the project half way through. We could find no other contractor that would touch the project, because you never know the quality of the work already done, and you are kind of assuming responsibility for it. Joe stepped in, fixed some things the previous contractor had screwed up, and finished the bathroom just in time for us to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family visiting. The second time was similar. We had a water line break and it damaged the entire bathroom in the master bedroom. We were displaced from our bedroom and the house was hazardous. Joe was already booked with other projects, but was able to rearrange some of his staff and was able to start fixing the house that very day. Three weeks later, we had a beautiful bathroom. We hadn't anticipated doing another bathroom remodel, and certainly hadn't budgeted for it. Joe's price was very fair, considering the emergency nature of the project and the fact that he had to have people on overtime to help complete the job. I highly recommend JM Construction. They are life savers.

Can't say enough about Keith and the quality of his work.

And as anticipated, I love it!!! I have recommended Keith and his team to several friends who have also hired him and they also are very satisfied with the end results. I would recommend Keith to anyone who is looking for quality work done on time and within budget. He won't be the most expensive and he won't be the cheapest, but he is the best!!!

I was referred to Keith and Elegant construction by a close friend (who did two bathrooms and a…read morekitchen remodel with them) and after getting quotes from several companies, theirs stood out as the most favorable and comprehensive. I first hired them to renovate two bathrooms last year and was so pleased with the results that I brought them back for a full kitchen remodel--which just wrapped up successfully. Their pricing is competitive, and the quality of work is very good. I was especially impressed with the electrical and tile work on both projects. The foreman and crews are skilled, professional, and efficient. Even though I had a designer, Keith and his team offered thoughtful suggestions that made the final result even more aligned with my vision. A couple things to keep in mind: as with any contractor, make sure to read your quotes carefully--I missed that trim work wasn't included in the original painting estimate. Also, the teams tend to start early, which was fine for me but might require a heads-up to your neighbors if noise is a concern. Overall, highly recommend them for home renovation projects!

Daniel created a beautiful, light-filled, functional bathroom for our family from a space that initially had many design problems that required thoughtful correction. Daniel's assistants are efficient and talented people, as well, who truly care about the quality of their work. The construction itself was done in a conscientious and timely manner with quality always first and foremost, and the routine of daily clean-up helped make the process smooth and relaxed. In addition, Daniel's attention to COVID19 protocol was noted and appreciated. Many thanks to Daniel Burja Construction for a job well done.

He removed some cabinets at either end of the room, replaced some damaged dry wall, put in new manufactured wood flooring, painted, fixed some electrical issues, and also did a few other jobs for me. He cleaned up the site, hauled off debris, and was a joy to work with. With Ben, no job seemed too small or too large, his approach to everything I asked of him was dealt with willingness and skill, and I would highly recommend him to others who need jobs done around the house.

They charge $75 an hour for regular handyman contractor work and $125 an hour for plumbing and electrical. When I questioned them, they said they were licensed contractors, general, plumbing and electrical. That made me feel comfortable with their abilities. The electrical project I had them work on had to two with a breaker tripping. They spent 4 hours and never fixed it but billed me $500. I had another electrician come out who billed me $90 an hour and he fixed it in less than 4 hours. Then there was the plumbing. I told them I had a tub that leaked and had damaged sheetrock on the roof below. Their solution was to get some spray foam to spray around the opening at the base of the faucet. Then they repaired the sheetrock. The problem is, the spray foam wasn't water proof, and the tub leaked again. I had another plumber come out and it turns out it was the spray nozzle on the faucet that was leaking. I just need to get a new faucet. Now I have to have the sheet rock on the ceiling below torn out and re-done. They also replaced a bowl wax on a toilet and it is leaking again. I asked them for their license numbers and it turns out Rent-a-husband is licensed under a man named Wes Koenig, but Ben and Brad, the two men that do the work are not licensed themselves. They may have the skills for general handyman work like hanging pictures and moving furniture but I don't think they are qualified to do plumbing and electrical. In total I spent about $5,000 and everything has to be redone. I tried to resolve my issues with the owner of the company and he gave me the runaround. I feel like I was totally taken advantage of and I do not recommend that anyone use their services.

John, Carrey, Luke, Scott, and Kirk are true professionals dedicated to delivering the highest quality work, resulting in outstanding results that we love. Our project involved a comprehensive remodel, taking the house down to the studs, enlarging the structure which required foundation work, installing new plumbing and electrical systems, and renovating bathrooms and kitchens. We also replaced two second-floor decks and upgraded the exterior from wood siding to stucco. From start to finish, John and Carrey Ward were highly engaged in every aspect and decision of our eight-month remodel. John's extensive experience in every phase of the project provided us with valuable insights, helping us make better decisions throughout the process. Carrey excellently managed the project, coordinating various subcontractors (electrical, stucco, drywall, plumbing) with minimal delays and ensuring materials were ordered and delivered on time. While the subcontractors employed by John were generally excellent, we did encounter issues with the plumber assigned to our project. However, John promptly addressed this and had the plumbing company correct any issues to our complete satisfaction. While John might not be the cheapest option, you get what you pay for--a true "A team" dedicated to doing the best work to your complete satisfaction. In conclusion, we highly recommend John Fuchs Properties: Construction + Real Estate for both new construction and remodeling projects. John and his team take pride in their work, are easy to work with, and are committed to the highest quality standards. They won't consider the job done until you are completely happy with the outcome.

The location…read moreis stunning yet tricky and the house needed a bunch of work, including structural changes including reframing the staircase, opening up the main level wall to ocean. We initially started working with another design build firm who provided a comprehensive yet expensive plan. While receiving bids from different companies, John Fuchs and company stood out in terms of their thoroughness, clarity in communication and exhibited an understanding what we were really hoping to have this property look like. Once underway, the project was a smooth sailing journey. Albeit involved, including multiple permit revisions with the city and coastal commission, John just took them in his stride and worked through them systematically. He just bears that "not a problem" attitude and carries on his work and the results speak for themselves. John also suggested a few additions along the way and helped with planning and permitting those and they turned out fantastic. Along the way John was a supportive guide, helping us make decisions on critical questions that allowed us to not compromise on the desired outcome and yet did not blow up our budget substantially. The workmanship and quality of this company's work is top-tier. Pricing is competetive and fit and finish is remarkable. The ease with which changes to plans were accommodated is commendable and the final product emerged to be simply stunning. The accounting and communication through the project was regular, transparent and precise. John and team were also very patient as we slowly meandered our way picking finishes and appliances including some crazy color requests and door finishes. Overall it was a fun, creative and stress free experience to work with him and his team. If you are looking to do a project in the Santa Cruz area, John Fuchs Construction is our unequivocal recommendation as your buiding contractor, you won't regret it!
