We sorely needed new pavement for our front driveway and garage. It was all the original stuff from back when the property was built in the late 1970s. Powerhouse wasn't the first company we called, nor were they the cheapest -- but we got an immediate sense from the owner Jack when he did the initial walkthrough and bid that we would be in good hands if we went with them to replace both the driveway and garage flooring. I think it is the up-front and transparent manner in which Jack approaches his business. He let us know up front all potential pitfalls, gave us a wealth of information about types of concrete, and even told us up-front that our original choice of Pavers had the potential to cost us more in the long run. Well-informed, we decided to go with stamped concrete with rebar, and within a week the jackhammers were knocking all the old stuff out. His workers were friendly, efficient and finished in a week. We are extremely happy with the end result, the customer service rendered, and value we received for the product. Our neighbors can't stop raving about the end result, and we are incredibly happy as well! read more

Jack's vision for my remodel was something I could have never envisioned myself. His eye for design was amazing and completely blew me away!! I hired him to build a pool and what I ended up getting was a resort style feel in my backyard that I now get to enjoy every day. Outside of the design aspect, his communication was top notch. Anytime I asked a question (I had a lot) he was quick to text or jump on the phone with me. The work was completed on time and his guys were all so nice. Thanks again Jack!! read more

Needed a retaining wall to protect the hillside patio I wanted to re-make. Jack and Julio's crew gave me a good advice and quick service on both projects. Completed within the time frame and had the most comprehensive results of the 4 contractors I contacted. Good value and great service. Definitely would recommend in the future. read more

We really like Jack, he is very knowledgable and helpful! His quote was very promt as well.

Superb company!!!!!........I had Jack, the owner, come to my house for to do an estimate on demo, a retaining wall, and concrete work. His knowledge and communications skills are unparalleled! For me personally, communication is key and a huge element. Every time I had a question, Jack was there with the answer. His honestly is genuine and I believe the work he does is important to him and his company, with the goal of happy clients. Although, I didn't immediately hire Jack for the job, I definitely plan to do so in the near future and refer him to who ever needs a great company. Personal finances didn't allow the project to happen right away but in the near future, it definitely will. Communicative, knowledgeable, patient, and genuine honesty is what I have gathered from Jack and his company Powerhouse Green Construction. Keep it up Jack and thank you! read more

Ended up not being the right timing for me to hire them BUT Jack explained a lot about my project to me at no cost during the consultation and gave very practical advice about different solutions and their costs. I will reach back out when the timing makes sense. read more

Stated interested in project and once called stated job was too small even with pics included in project description. Businesses should state what size jobs or minimum they are accepting. Waste of my time. read more

Amazing customer service, gave me multiple options to fit my price range. Would definitely recommend their service to friends and family!

Jack, the owner, went out of his way to help me with a problem He was extremely honest and helpful. I highly recommend this company.

We loved our expirence with PowerHouse Green Construction. From the beginning to the end Jack and Julio made our project easy and stress free. Jack gave us a fair quote and we had no surprises he did exactly what he said. Julio ran our project with his team and everyone was amazing. Julio listened to ever one of our ideas and helped to make our front yard look beautiful. Both Jack and Julio communicted with us along the way so we know exactly what was going to happen next. I appreciate finding a company with honest, hardworking individuals and we will definetly use them for our next project. I highly recommend PowerHouse Green Construction! read more

I was so grateful for Powerhouse Green Construction. They were fair, patient and willing to help me in a tough situation. When you spoke to Jack you feel like you are speaking to a neighbor. He is honest and practical and provided me with useful advice on my next steps. I appreciate this company will continue to do business with them in the future. read more

Jack and his team recently remodeled our kitchen and bathroom. From our first phone calls, we liked Jack. His sense of humor and straightforward communication style put us at ease and made our choice of contractor easy. The team worked within our budget and spent a lot of time helping us make design choices that met our needs-we wanted to open up our entire downstairs and kitchen area and that is exactly what we got! Throughout the 2.5 month project, communication was timely and we never felt alone in the process. When we had questions or concerns, they were addressed immediately and Jack's team worked toward resolutions. The team came up with other ideas to improve our space that we never would have thought of, and then were able to add those projects to the scope of work in a way that was still mindful of our budget. We truly appreciated their teamwork approach. From the cabinetry to tile work and everything else that goes into a major project like this, we are beyond happy. The workmanship was high quality and we look forward to working with the Powerhouse team for our next home improvement projects. We recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor who stands by their work and provides high quality services! read more

I had a very positive experience with the owner, Jack. From the time he came for an appointment to look at the job and give me a bid. He was the lowest of the three bids I received. Excellent communication between the office manager Angela and myself. The job was replacing a retaining wall. The crew did an excellent job. read more

Awesome! I should have written this review a few months ago when the work was done. These folks are highly professional and have OUTSTANDING customer service skills. Unlike a lot of companies, they actually answer the phone and/or respond very quickly to emails and voice messages. The main reason I went with PowerHouse Green Construction to roof my mom's house was because of my interactions with Bonnie (office) and Merrill (project manager). Both of them put me and my mom at ease. Complete trust. I didn't feel I had to be there for the work. They explain every step of the process. They also have a lot of integrity. We had a potential situation with the roof that could have needed extra work and of course would cost more. I was leaning towards just doing it to be on the safe side. They easily could have told me the work needed to be done. Not the case. They evaluated it and told me there was no need, which saved a lot of money. I would hire them for any job I needed done. They provide sound work, use good materials, and don't cut any corners. You get what you pay for: QUALITY! read more

Owner called and explained to my satisfaction the situation that had taken place was not their fault.

This review is long overdue, but PHG is one of the best there is. We hired them to do a full home remodel. Not only did a ton of items needed updating, but they needed to fix several items that the previous owner had messed up. They were able to do it all: moving walls, bathroom remodels, electrical, painting, drywall, framing, you name it. Their specialist, Ray also has an attention to detail that was appreciated in taking care of all the little items. On top of that, PHG was very communicative throughout the process (and even after), and also had great ideas with the design and flow of the home. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks, Jack, Jen, Ernie, and Ray! read more

We reached out to Jack during COVID for helping us with a leak we detected from our ceiling. Angela was so responsive and quickly scheduled us in. Jack arrived ahead of time, thoroughly inspected the house and asked questions that could lead us to understanding where the leak was coming from. And it turns out, we had a beehive in our ceiling ( go figure!) . Jack is a true professional and made the whole process seem so easy and comfortable. We would highly recommend Jack and his team. read more

Powerhouse construction has exceeded my expectations on all levels: customer service, timelines, expertise, and the quality of work they provide. I could not be happier that I chose them to manage the multiple projects in my house. From the owner, to the project manager to everyone in between it has been nothing but a pleasure. Ernie the project manager has been an all star in going above and beyond! He is the man! Bonnie and Jack are awesome and I look forward to working with them on future projects. There was never an occasion where I couldn't get in touch with them or had questions left unanswered. I couldn't recommend them more! Their level of service is premier for reasonable pricing! If you want the ultimate service and quality for your next construction project, choose Powerhouse. They are the best, hands down! read more

I spoke with his office manager, Angela, and she mentioned Jack would call me back to answer my questions - I told Jack upon his call that I was an investor (apparently investors have a bad name out there - also full disclosure I'm also a "family" run business) and the assumption was I didn't want quality work etc. His first comment out of his mouth in quite full arrogance "I'm in marketing and I don't need work" with the add on that unless I wanted to pay full 'retail' (which means exorbitant prices) he doesn't work with anyone in that capacity. So I replied with "since I guess you don't NEED work, I'll let you get on about your work' - I've been in Architecture for 20 years, and investing for 7 in Silicon Valley/San Jose/SF and this the first time I've been greeted with "I don't need work, I'm in marketing". I guess if you want to pay the highest prices and have extra money to burn I would suggest otherwise bypassing this company. Guess you can't judge a person by their reviews otherwise. Never a need for arrogance! EDIT- again arrogance. 'Scathing and malicious' review. these are posted so people can have an honest review of THEIR experience with the contractor/person on here. If you don't treat people with respect, (you made many assumptions on your comment about how I run my business - I also obviously wouldn't be in business if I didn't make money for the past 7 years) you don't get great reviews, it's a simple formula. I've run across many contractors who prefer not to work on a smaller budget and prefer to charge exorbitant fees but none have been rude to me like you have. I can't obviously speak to your quality of work but sorry I'm not changing my review. Maybe next time ANYONE calls you won't be so arrogant. I run my business on integrity and ethics so please don't compare our two businesses otherwise. You don't want bad reviews, don't treat people poorly. Simple concept. read more

Jack and his crew did and incredible job on a kitchen and bathroom remodel. They were very responsive from the outset and Jack and his staff were always quick to respond whenever we reached out. We had a small issue in the bathroom after the remodel was completed, but Jack remained responsive until the issue was fixed. I've heard nightmare stories about remodels, but that was not our experience with PHG. We recommend PHG to friends and family, and we will use again for future projects. read more

We are thrilled with the deck construction by PHGC! It will give us a lifetime of pleasure.. Jack was great to work with and Ernie and his crew were simply awesome. I highly recommend PHGC for any building project. read more

Jack and Ernie and his crew did a really great job on my roof! Very professional and quick to respond! Also Bonnie at the office was always there to answer any questions we had about the project. I would definitely recommend them for any project you have at your home - they do it all! Thanks again guys! read more

Previous comments deleted. Not planning to post additional text, except to say that I would advise the proprietors to be more up front with clients and potential clients in the future, and try to temper their optimism with the realities of a high workload. read more

They did get back to me but I had already hired another company. But I spoke with Jack and he was quite pleasant on the telephone.

From the beginning, PowerHouse Green Construction was a delight to deal with. Angela was my first point of contact and was completely receptive and communicative, helping me to set up the estimate appointment for the service that I needed. The day of the appointment, I was feeling anxious but was instantly put at ease when I received a courtesy call from Jack Davis introducing himself and letting me know he was on his way. When Jack arrived, he was wearing a mask and kept his distance for our comfort and safety. We were immediately impressed with Jack's expertise and professional demeanor. He was kind, respectful, and informative. He explained thoroughly and thoughtfully what our options were regarding repairs and replacement of a damaged concrete block wall that was over 70 years old. Jack was skillful and patient in his assessment of the wall, taking time to answer all our questions and was even proactive in addressing concerns we might have in the future! Most importantly, Jack provided a detailed and extremely fair estimate within hours of his visit. We could not have asked for a more pleasant experience than we had with PowerHouse Green Construction and we look forward to working with them in the future! read more

Came out to get an estimate for patio cover, apparently we are not fancy enough for them. Never received call back and never got our estimate. Come on now....As soon as they realized we had 30k to put into the project, they lost interest!! Sad for a business. read more

We had Powerhouse Green(Jack) come out to give us estimates on a master bathroom renovation and on a retaining wall/drainage repair on separate occasions. Jack was honest, professional, and provided us options that would be best on our budget. I recommend contacting them if you are looking to renovate, upgrade, or any construction project for an estimate. Thank you Jack! read more

Jack and his crew did a great job , the entire roof was changed and a front house brick fence with a car gate and pedestrian gate was built . Great quality job ! Thank you jack and team read more

Jack is an awesome guy, Family man and smart business owner. Proud to be an aquantainc....

We have had Jack and Jen out to the house for 3 different projects. We initially sought them out after a terrible experience with a previous contractor that left our home with a blackwater flood and remaining items unfinished. Jack and Jen saved the day! They made the process so easy for us that it was a breath of fresh air. Our previous experience left us concerned about having someone else into our home, but Jack and Jen were honest, fair, and took care of things before we could even notice them. Not to mention after 3 separate projects they have completed for us, not one single change order! They may appear somewhat pricer on initial estimate but their work, their responsiveness and desire to please the customer, and their ultimate fairness will pay itself back in full. Go Powerhouse Green! read more

We had a small leak coming from one of our skylights, gave them a call and they very prompt with response, sent someone out for an estimate and then shortly after within like a day of that estimate get someone out to come fix. The workers were punctual and very friendly and took pictures and were able to explain and show me where it was leaking. I plan on using them again. Very easy communication. read more

It's been a year and I still love love love my kitchen remodel that these guys did. Couldn't be happier.

I had Powerhouse Green build me a one car garage from the ground up. Grade the ground, concrete slab, and full one car garage build. Great experience from start to finish. Jack the owner came and bid the project (I did already have plans and permits in hand). His quote was inline with what I had budgeted and was quoted from others but his reviews and confidence in doing the project sold me. The company does have a very nice portfolio. Once we agreed on everything Jen V. (Project manager) takes over and walks you through the project. She was our go to on any questions or concerns. Very prompt and got back with me on all text or calls. The build was done by Ernie Winfield and his crew and they nailed it. Spot on to plan and came in on price as quoted. I have no problem referring them and will be having them update our kitchen and master bath soon. read more

My experience with PowerHouse Green Construction was wonderful. Jack came out to our house, which was built in 1947, and together we planned out the new replacement windows. There were 5 windows and two sliders, most were custom fit's. Josh and Brad installed them and cleaned up after themselves, the only way one would know they were there were the fabulous windows left in place. I will happily recommend PowerHouse Green Construction to all my friends, and will use them for my future construction needs. B.Reyes& B Thomas read more

I discovered Powerhouse after a miserable experience working with a local restoration company after a flood. Jack, Bonnie and the rest of the crew were a pleasure to work with and helped make a difficult time as easy as possible. Communication was top -notch. Very responsive and quick to answer any questions and address any concerns. Work was top notch. Crews were clean and very hard working. I was impressed, as were my neighbors. I would hire Powerhouse Green Construction again in a heartbeat, and I would recommend them to any one considering work on their house. Less read more

It is hard to find an honest contractor. jack and his crew did an excellent job on my roof replacement for just a fraction of the cost of other bids. Great communication and a job well done, Also Bonnie at the office was always there to answer any questions I will not hesitate to recommend him in the future. Thanks jack. read more

I've had many interactions from both the owner Jack as well as his office manager Bonnie. Jack is amazing. In fact, he has talked me out of major construction because he didn't think I needed it! They installed a new large window in my rental. The price was good and the service and installation excellent. I have plans for a bedroom renovation and there is no one else around I would use but them! Thank you, read more

Outstanding customer service and workmanship. We worked with Jack to do a complete overhaul of our new home to include new kitchen, master bedroom, master bath, new windows, stairs, and hardwood flooring throughout. Ernie and his guys got the work done expeditiously and properly, paying close attention to detail. Well worth the money spent with PowerHouse Green construction! Great to work with a business with honesty and integrity. Thanks! read more
