I essentially gutted my cabin and added square footage, a major undertaking. From the foremen to the subcontractors, every person on the team was exceptional. John and his crew truly collaborated with me to bring my vision to life, offering thoughtful suggestions and recommendations that elevated the final result. Their responsiveness made it easy for me to stay on top of decisions without delaying progress. What stood out most: the job site was always clean and secure, and they work with high-quality, affordable subcontractors who share their commitment to excellence. I highly recommend John Allen Construction for any renovation project--large or small.

From the bid process through project completion, Amador Builder's process was among the best I've every had with a contractor. Barry's crew did the entire project start to finish - and despite the complications (e.g. scarcity of building materials nationwide) - Barry kept the project moving forward. His communications throughout the project was great, and the crew performed against schedule - that's a rarity in Amador County :-) I recommend Barry highly - you can't go wrong here.

We had a terrific experience with Calaveras Construction for a rather small project in our 1980's…read morecabin. Because the project was small, we had experienced problems with other contractors not taking it seriously or wasting our time by always delaying the start due to other other more lucrative business opportunities presenting themselves. This didn't happen with owner Mike. Mike immediately arranged to meet with us, gave us a good quote and then slated a time to start the project which he stayed committed to! More important, we could not be more thrilled with the work. Mike was able to completely understand the aesthetic we were trying to achieve and it is evident in the superb craftmanship of the finish work. As issues came up (as they always do with projects) Mike was able to clearly articulate the problem and provide creative solutions. We especially appreciate Mike's knowledge of code since he is also a licensed home inspector. As we shared our ideas, it was comforting that he had the ability to point out issues and steer us away from anything that would violate code or potentially be unsafe. Mike's crew is talented, friendly and extremely neat! We would recommend Mike and his team for a construction project of any size and would hire him in a hot second if we ever decide to build the dream home in the mountains!

From the owner: Calaveras Construction Company has a long standing reputation with the carpenters here in the…read moremountains, and Mike is lucky to know them all and choose the best for his projects. The carpenters respect him for his honesty, reliability, workmanship and the fact that he uses the best materials available. Owner and builder, Mike Jarnagin, moved to Arnold in 1968, graduated from Bret Harte High School in 1984, and joined his step-dad in the construction business. On his way to earning his own Contractor's License, Mike has experienced all aspects of the construction trade in the beautiful Calaveras and surrounding counties. Growing up and working here in the trades for the past 20 years gives him a knowledge of the land, good and bad, that can be applied when consulting or contracting with him for your construction needs. If it is choosing a lot, building a home from scratch or a re-model, or just moving some trees and dirt, you can be guaranteed of first-hand knowledge.

Everyone from the TMC crew was great to work with, we had a rather large project and we did not mind seeing the TMC crew every morning bright and early! From the very start, their team was professional. The sales process was transparent, insightful, and educational as we had to discuss what our vision was for our home while the TMC team helped us put a plan together to make it happen. As for the work and team, every member was meticulous with every detail of our project (siding, windows, and covered wrap around porch), and really took pride in their work. Special shout out to Joe and his crew who bring years of experience to the job site, Scott who helped us with estimates and working through pivots in the plan, the wonderful office staff who helped keep the project moving forward, and even the owners who came out and checked in to make sure we were happy with everything!

Mike added windows to dark rooms, moved walls and closets to open up the space, redid the plumbing and wiring, removed non-compliant wood burning stoves and installed a modern gas fireplace, completely updated the kitchen and 2.5 bathrooms, and so much more. He was incredibly easy to communicate with and always came up with creative solutions to complex problems. On top of all that, he's an extremely polite and considerate person.

Sept 8, 2024…read more Recently I had Jeff Nolan come out to my property near Avery to view some repair work needed on a building. Jeff was courteous in our meeting and agreed that he would do the repairs and send me a work order via e-mail with a cost estimate. Regrettably, Jeff did not furnish me the cost estimate at all. I waited a week for the estimate and made several phone calls and left messages on his cell phone asking if he had made the estimate yet. After a week had passed when I heard nothing from Jeff he sent me an e-mail saying he decided he couldn't do the job until next year. This was in conflict with what he told me when we met at the property a week before. i had to come 82 miles on the day we met to discuss the work needed. Jeff did not act in a professional and organized manner in this negotiation. He was not business-like and pulled the rug out from under me and made no attempt to get me satisfied. I could not recommend him as a contractor because he apparently does no employ fair business practices. I have made known to the local home-owners association at Love Creek to beware of this deceitful contractor who can't be trusted. John Gibson Folsom, Calif

Some of the qualities that stood out to me were their professionalism, communication, thoroughness and thoughtfulness. Sean was great at communicating to me what days they would be working and what projects they'd be working on those days. He gave me timelines for everything and always communicated if things were taking longer than expected. Sean's crew was absolutely fantastic at cleaning up at the end of the day. We were living in the house while they were working on it and I have kids so it was so nice to come home to a construction site that was clean and safe for my kids. The work that Cornell did was TOP notch. Everything in our remodel/addition is exactly how we wanted it. Sean contracted out some of the work to great local businesses who were also extremely professional and great at their jobs. Sean was also great at walking us through parts of the project and giving advice to us on parts of the project we hadn't considered. He had fantastic ideas and really helped us consider everything before making big decisions. I would highly recommend Cornell Construction to anyone looking for a contractor.
