JSE Custom Builders

I am a developer/​builder in Palo Alto CA, and after interviewing three general contractors for several new high-​end custom homes, I decided to work with Jesse England of JSE Custom Builders, Inc., who has been in business for over 20 years. Jesse had also been highly recommended to me by another Palo Alto developer.
There are many important aspects to being a good general contractor and it is not an easy job, but Jesse England handled all aspects of the building process of my new homes, from the start of the demolition process to the finishing touches of the homes, with smooth professionalism and outstanding results.
Jesse is unsurpassed in his knowledge of construction, from installing foundations to the detailed finish work. He is reliable and responsive, which is critical to the job progress. Jesse has excellent communication skills; he was fully able to answer all of my technical questions, as well as communicate effectively with his steadfast team of talented sub-​contractors and suppliers. He stayed on schedule and helped to save money without compromising the quality of construction. When the houses were completed and sold, Jesse helped take care of all the customers’ needs and any punch list items.
I highly recommend Jesse England as a general contractor to anyone who has a building project, small or large.

Jesse did a remodel on a cottage for us. It was way more work than expected! But that didn’t mean we were overwhelmed with change orders. He rather do it right than do a half ass job. He ended up taking the walls down to the studs and the floors to the joists (and replace a bunch of joists). Plumbing and electrical had to be replaced too. The place was basically a dump. Now it is absolutely beautiful thanks to Jesse and his crew.

Jesse and the crew helped finish a project that was completely bungled by another contractor with little to no delay. Outstanding work! Since then, JSE has helped me on numerous projects, from small to medium scale. Great company!

I know Jesse for about 3 years. He was recommended to me as a contractor to do remodeling at our school. He does great job there. He is fast, clean and very creative. Very reliable and I would definitely recommend him as your contractor for repairs or building from the scratch

We were recommended JSE by another contractor and I’m very happy he did. Jesse was always on time, assessed the repairs, gave us a very reasonable estimate and then started and finished on time and budget. In the process he communicated with us every step of the way.
I was away for business during the actual repairs and was thrilled to find the bathroom leakage fixed, parquet floor portion replaced and the wall patched. I then asked Jesse to build a new custom gates to the backyard. The project took 3 days and at the end I have brand new door with the key pad that looks and operates like a charm. I highly recommend JSE Custom Builders and planning to use Jesse again.
