Worked with Chris 5 years ago. Had below written out 5 years ago and never posted it since I wanted to perfect it. Chris took care of interior painting, tile work in my master bathroom. He also helped me with a lot of misc work around the house such as window latches, electrical, fan replacement in bathroom, caulking in kitchen and bathroom, lock for attic. His team (David) did an excellent job on interior painting. They removed all the inside doors, light fixtures, blinds etc before painting. Spray painted doors, baseboards. Electrical work was perfect. Chris's electrician tried extremely hard not to cut unnecessary holes in the wall. Huge difference between Chris's team and another electrician I had hired who had recommended cutting many unwanted holes. Chris electrician cut 1 as opposed to proposed 4 by another electrician. He made several trips to give me free consultations. He was very flexible to ideas from us and found the right team who would be willing to work with us. We requested him to go with epoxy grout for example and he was fine with it. On the whole he is very pleasant to work with and very reasonable price for painting, tile work and misc items. We really lucked out getting help from Chris without whom we would really have a tough time getting the house ready for renting last summer. Really appreciate Chris and his team's work. Sorry for the delay in posting this. read more

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! read more

We worked with Chris from Jimmy Construction to do our bathroom remodel. We redid our master bath and our hall bath and Chris and his team were great. Our master bath was a complete overhaul, transforming a bath tub to a shower stall, moving pipes for the sink, and retiling the entire bathroom. The hall bath was a retile of the floor, and a new vanity. Most contractors in the bay area are super busy, and juggling multiple jobs. Chris was very responsive over phone, email, and especially text messages. This was great because we were always able to reach him for questions and advice throughout the process. He helped us with recommendations for selecting materials and was able to build whatever we came up with. We especially liked the quality of the tile work from his workers, and the bathrooms look great! read more

In October 2015 I hired Jimmy to remodel my bath room and kitchen in my condo. Jimmy was consistently cordial, thorough, thoughtful, detail oriented and on time. He also stayed with the quote he gave me so there were no surprises at the end. He made suggestions such as attractive moulding for my bedroom and living room. He installed a flatscreen TV for me. Jimmy also made some minor repairs for which he did not charge me. If we ran into any difficulties Jimmy always came up with a good solution. Jimmy completed the job in January 2016 which I thought was reasonable considering the holidays and the fact that we obtained permits from the city of San Jose. All in all, I would highly recommend Jimmy and his crew without hesitation. I was very satisfied with the results as you can see from the pictures I have included. Thanks so much, Jimmy! read more

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! read more

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! read more

We hired Jimmy Construction in November 2017 to remodel our bathroom. Chris Vu, Jimmy's son, offered a very competitive price compared to other contractors. They were also the only contractors that offered to tile 3 walls in my bathroom, like I wanted. Chris and his team quickly demolished, tiled, painted and added all our appliances and fixtures. They would have finished in less than two weeks if I had ordered all the right materials on time. Everyone we worked with at Jimmy Construction was polite and professional. I plan to hire them again next fall to work on our kitchen. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Chris came and talked a good story. I called him several times to move forward on our bathroom remodel project, but he never responded. Cannot comment on their work since I have never experienced any of it. Not sure why they would bother coming in the first place if they never intended to do the work. read more

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! read more

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! read more

I am not sure why Jimmy Construction has 4 stars because their customer service is horrible. First of all, his son Chris who is now running the company ran late to my appointment and he did not tell me. I had to text him to see why he was running late. He told me he was going to send me a quote within one week. It's been several weeks and still nothing. I've texted him several times to send me something and still no response. So I am not sure if he values his potential clients or not. I know contractors nowadays are busy but it only take a few seconds to follow up with someone. read more

I found it extremely difficult to find a contractor that was willing to take on my second floor condo, kitchen project. After almost giving up on this remodel, a neighbor recommended Jimmy Construction. She and her husband were both very happy with their two bathrooms. I then gave Chris a call for an estimate. He met me one Friday after work to look at the scope of what I wanted done. It was basically a total gut job on a small kitchen. I liked Chris' design sense and felt like we had similar tastes. A few days later, I received an estimate which I thought was fair given the scope of work to be done. The project consisted of removing the old cabinets, installing recessed/undercabinet lighting, plumbing, new counter tops, tile backsplash, new appliances and installation of custom cabinets. On the day the work was to begin, I was notified that Jimmy (Chris' father) would be managing my project. He helps Chris (Jimmy's son) with smaller projects. I was not disappointed. Jimmy was very responsive over phone, email, and especially text messages. He has a great deal of experience and even sourced some of the materials from local vendors. Jimmy and Chris were both great to work with. I would definitely use them again and recommend them highly to anyone who wants a job done right! read more

Jimmy and Chris (father and son) were great to work with. We hired them to remodel our galley kitchen. They were very responsive throughout the whole project, from the initial estimate to completion. We felt well-informed throughout the remodel and were given honest and helpful feedback about decisions we were making. They care a lot about their workmanship and it shows in the quality of their work. Reasonably priced. Definitely would consider them for future projects. read more

Chris helped us to do our renovation project. He is great at his profession, he is knowledgeable in all the phases as it goes, and the jobs he did have decent quality, and he is easy to work with and is always willing to help his clients. The only minor down side is that he is really busy these days, so that in terms of customer service there is little room to improve. But i guess he is busy for a reason. He did quality work, and his rate is competitive. Chris is great. read more

Jimmy Construction came highly recommended from a friend who had recently had her bathrooms remodeled. I contacted Chris and he promptly returned my call. In fact, he made the trek from Menlo Park on a Friday night in traffic to come by to meet with us. Chris was in the middle of managing a pretty big project so we were very fortunate to have worked with his father, Jimmy. Jimmy and his crew did an amazing job remodeling our two bathrooms in our condo. He is very detail orientated, consistent, and best part is he would give us suggestions on how to save money! Throughout the project Jimmy was present and when he wasn't he was in constant communication either via text or phone calls. At the end of each day Jimmy would give me a report on the work that would be done the next day. They finished the project on time and surpassed our expectations. Even though our remodels were small in comparison to the projects they mostly work on, Jimmy treated our project as if it was huge. I can't say enough how detail oriented he is. HIGHLY recommend Jimmy Construction!! I should also mention on two occasions he brought my husband and I vietnamese sandwiches for lunch! They were the best sandwiches we've ever had! read more

Chris from Jimmy Construction is absolutely the best. Everything he did in my home was just beautiful and perfect. He was on time with his crew. Finished in a timely manner and was very professional. I highly recommend Chris. I enjoyed getting to know Chris and he truly went above and beyond the call of duty. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Omg., I read Del R.'s story and the same happened to us. I thought Chris would be nice enough to reply to my messages and tell me that he is not interested the project. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We wanted to remodel our 2 out of three bathrooms and found Chris on Yelp. One of the bathroom he had to relocate our toilet since we wanted to expand space for shower. Chris and his crew did an amazing job on our bathrooms. We could not be happier. The bathrooms look beautiful! Chris is super friendly, easy going, professional, and really works with us since I have to say I am one of his pickier customers. We would definitely use Chris for future projects and recommend him for anyone who is looking to remodel their bathroom. read more

Remodeled two bathrooms with adding new fan and running vent exhaust thru the roof, and adding new 20amp line to wall outlets. Jimmy's crew is very skilled in plumbing, electrical, and tile work. Our new cabinets require reconfiguring the pipes and they were done without a hitch. Jimmy has many years under his belt and was great in scheduling to meet the dates. Overall, we are glad that we picked Jimmy Construction for the job. read more

phenomenal work done by Jimmy and his team, they remodeled my kitchen for me for a wonderful deal and they finished up the beautiful job 2 days before the estimated completion date so that was a bonus as well. Since I am remodeling almost my entire home, these guys have been tackling it for me and I am beyond pleased. read more

Chris will be our top choice for any remodeling in the future! read more

Chris did a wonderful job in my 2br condo unit. His crew worked on replacing the carpet, bathroom vanities and kitchen counters, painting the interior and installing recessed lighting. I contacted several contractors. Chris was the fastest to respond with a very reasonable bid. I made several changes on the original plan and Chris was very flexible (with only minimal charges). He also recommended what brands to buy and where to get good deals. They finished as scheduled which was very important since my lease was up. I will definitely refer them to friends. You won't go wrong with Chris and his team. read more

We approached Jimmy Constructions for a quote to remodel our 1300 sq ft condo in Sunnyvale in late October 2016. Our requirements were quite stringent - we wanted to remodel 2.5 baths, 2 bedrooms, replace carpets with hardwood, install recessed lighting - all within 3 weeks before guests would arrive for Thanksgiving. Most of the contractors we had approached either balked at the idea or quoted us exorbitant rates. Chris from Jimmy Construction was the only one who met our conditions on the timeliness and budget. My husband and I were impressed by Chris in our first meeting as he provided us with a lot of expert advice on where to buy materials, choosing vanity countertops, selecting the right shade of paint, etc. All throughout the remodeling, Chris would regularly visit the site and give us regular updates on how the work was progressing. Needless to say within three weeks, Chris transformed our home in time to impress my Thanksgiving guests. My guests and friends were quite impressed by the high quality of the work despite being done on a tight deadline. We are now planning to remodel our kitchen this year. Guess who we will be calling to get the work done? read more

Yep work with both Jimmy and Chris to remodel my house. They have good ideas and willing to share the experience with us during the remodel, overall they did a good job and very satisfied with the finishing. read more

As good as it gets! Chris and team just completed our bathroom remodel for our Guest and Master Bath. Me and my wife could not be happier with the results. We chose Jimmy Construction over multiple highly rated contractors because we wanted a contractor that was 1) Easy to work with 2) Had a great reputation 3) Attention to Detail 4) Reasonably priced. We chose Chris based on the reviews we read on yelp from other satisfied customers and from our initial meeting. We found him to be very professional and friendly. He came across as one that takes pride in his results and someone that won't cut corners which was very important to us since we don't plan on ever redoing our bathrooms again so we wanted something that would last. Once the work started we were amazed from the beginning to the end. He made sure after demolition to ensure everything and anything that was damaged or could cause potential issues later on was fixed before installing anything which I really appreciated. He went above on beyond in some cases where I felt other contractors wouldn't such as the way they ensured the bathroom was waterproofed properly. The fit and finish which was most important to me was excellent all around from the paint on the wall to the vanity installation. Me and my wife are pretty picky with detail and we hardly found many thing wrong at all which was amazing. The only thing that we saw was the paint on along the shower trim wasn't as straight possibly because the painter might have rushed it but Chris himself inspected the work afterwards and when we mentioned it, he did not hesitate to have the painters come back to fix it! Very impressed with his willingness to make even the smallest thing right. This shows that he's about making the customer happy first and foremost. Overall the quality was what we expected and we are looking forward to having Chris makeover our kitchen! You will not be disappointed if you use Jimmy Construction for your next big project. read more

Chris Vu from Jimmy Construction is great. After interviewing several contractors, my husband and I looked at each other and said "It's Chris"...the choice was just obvious. His prices were competitive, but what really struck us was his confidence. He gave us a quote right away and he stuck to the cost unless we asked for something more. Aside from his confidence and professionalism, he was relaxed every time we saw him, so we were never stressed about a major change being done to our house (we had our kitchen remodeled). Chris made suggestions to our initial ideas and those suggestions made the finished product look better than we had had hoped for and it didn't change the quote. All the members of his team were very friendly and professional and their work was very detailed. Plus they always cleaned up after themselves. The 3rd party vendors Chris recommended were great and the prices were reasonable. The best compliment we can say about Chris is we will definitely recommend him to our friends and family and we will definitely be calling him for our next project. Bottom line...Chris was a pleasure to work with. read more
