JGR Construction

Jorge was so nice and personable. He showed up promptly and gave me an honest detailed report. I will definitely Abe using him for my closet and bathroom remodel

We had our home remodel done by Jorge and his team at JGR Constructions after checking out his work firsthand from a referral. We evaluated almost 10 other contractors for our remodel but picked Jorge because we liked how thorough he was going though the details in our first meeting and made us comfortable that we were dealing with someone who was quite experienced. He and his team did our front entrance remodel, brand new kitchen, 2 new bathrooms, installed new hardwood floors, did a whole house electrical panel upgrade and installed a brand new HVAC, water heater and kitchen/​laundry appliances along with painting the entire house over 3 months. His team did the majority of the work and he brought on a professional set of specialists to do HVAC work, counter top fabrication and gutter installation.
His team was quite professional and his brother was a big help, picking up all the material required for the project after I had ordered it at the various stores in the area. He also readily fixed a few minor issues as we got to the end of the project to ensure that we were 100% satisfied. I didn’t have to be present at any inspections from the city since he coordinated them very well and made sure they passed without any problems. At the end of the project, he delivered on-​time (worked around delays caused by city for permits) & on-​budget as written on the initial contract (except for any extra items discovered as the project went on). If there was one area that I would pick on that wasn’t perfect, it would be that he could have given us advance notice of material or stuff he needed for the project rather than us having to scramble at the last moment.
Given the local real estate market here in the Bay Area these days, it’s quite tough to find good, reliable licensed contractors that deliver a quality product. Don’t be surprised to contact Jorge for your project and be told to wait for 4 – 6 months to begin.

Jorge and his crew recently (Oct 2015) finished a fabulous job on our new backyard! We got 4 – 5 quotes; he wasn’t the cheapest but definitely not the highest. Jorge is very honest, patient and professional which is HUGE in my book. He takes the time to address last minute changes without any push back and worked within our budget. We were able to discuss every aspect to get the results we wanted, sometimes after the fact to redo and sometimes for additions. We added French drains, artificial grass, travertine, a bocce ball court (70 ft.), two custom built planters and much more. It was a total backyard overhaul and we couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait for summer to come so all our plants are grown in. I am hoping the timing works out so he can do the inside of our home soon!

Recently I hired JGR Construction for re-​building the detached car garage at San Jose area. I found him in Unilocal and when we interviewed him, we felt about him as professional. Yes, his name is Jorge, he is very knowledgeable and has finished my car garage project with his skilled team on time. He picked his phone and text all the time. His labor or rate is very reasonable. We are very happy about his job. By the by we are giving his phone# around my friend in this valley. In my opinion he should get five star.

I appreciate honesty! I never worked with JGR but they answered the phone quickly and were honest about when projects could start, workload they can or cannot take on at the moment, etc. That quickness and upfront information is very helpful and doesn’t waste time. Very friendly person! Can’t give five stars only cause I didn’t work w them :)… But hey if they have projects lined up for x months out, they must be doing something right! (:

We contacted JGR Construction back in March of this year for a 500 ft extension. He came out the same day and while here he gave us some recommendations on our project plan. We really loved some of the ideas he had so, when we started working with JGR, we did incorporate those.
The payment plan with JGR was predetermined, so there was never any problems/​questions with payments. Once the team started the work, we realized how detailed they were. A few times Jorge would have his team redo something because he wasn’t happy with the work, this left no room for any complaints from us. We were on a tight timeline and they were able to finish the work.
We also really appreciated how they kept the work space clean and also cleaned the backyard/​work space every Friday before leaving. A few times, we told them not worry about cleaning LOL. All of the employees of JGR were very nice and professional.
We would highly recommend JGR Construction, and would not hesitate to work with him again on any future projects.

Based on positive Unilocal reviews, we contacted Jorge to do some work in our kitchen. We needed to install a slide-​in range and range hood, and have platforms built for the range and a previously installed dishwasher due to the kitchen being raised a couple of inches above standard height on one side. It was an unusual job, but Jorge understood exactly what needed to be done. He and his team were prompt, neat, courteous, and friendly. We are very happy with the installation of the appliances and the attention to detail. I’ve already recommended Jorge to a friend and would not hesitate to contact him again for other jobs in our home.

I recently employed JGR Construction to replace my redwood patio arbor. From the offset, I was very impressed with Jorge’s approach. He came on the same day as I made the enquiry to see the project. He was courteous, professional and knowledgeable, proposing a few options and showing me examples of the work the company had undertaken. I felt immediately at ease and had confidence in him.
Jorge’s professionalism continued — he was prompt in supplying an estimate (which was extremely competitive) and then followed up by telephone to answer my questions. He didn’t keep me waiting when I contracted him to undertake the work.
Throughout the project Jorge’s team reflected his approach — they were punctual, polite, professional and very hard working. As with any large scale project, I had to make a couple of unforeseen decisions but Jorge guided me through the options, conscious of my budget and came up with solutions. On the last day of the project, we had heavy rain and it was impossible for them to complete the work. I knew that Jorge’s team were booked on another large project the next day, but he organised things to ensure that my job was completed before they moved on.
My new redwood arbor is a beautiful addition to my patio and I am very impressed with the craftsmanship and quality of JGR Construction’s work. Some may say that should be expected, but what I didn’t anticipate (compared with other contractors) was the level of honesty and professionalism I experienced working with Jorge and his team. He always did exactly what he said he would, he was reliable, he was committed to doing the best possible job, he went the extra mile when problems arose to provide solutions, and … he is a thoroughly nice guy!
I would not hesitate to employ JGR Construction again. Neither would I hesitate to offer the highest possible recommendation of Jorge and his team.

We went through an estimate process with Jorge on a sizable remodeling project. We didn’t end up using his service because we went with someone else who we worked with before. However, Jorge’s professional courtesy, passion for his work and detailed estimate left an impression on me. His quote was so detailed that it helped us think of some of the items that we had previously missed in our planning and budget. I will definitely keep him in mind for future home remodeling projects.

We purchased our current townhouse from its original owner of 30 years, and it needed a complete overhaul. On top of the usual kitchen & bathroom remodel, it needed architectural changes to enlarge the living space and relocation of the water heater and furnace.
We originally started the project with a different contractor, but he was totally disorganized and dishonest with his quotes and the negotiation kept dragging on. Out of desperation I asked my colleages for recommendation and someone recommended Jorge. Jorge was very easy to work with from the beginning. He provided detailed, written estimates for our project, and gave us a lot of good design suggestions. Throughout the project, he consistently communicated with us on progress, issues, and found creative ways to overcome limitations. When mistakes are made, he acknowledges quickly and fix them without push back.
We couldn’t be happier with the final results!

I don’t write reviews that often but I must say this recent project urged my attention. We recently bought a house in Gilroy and planned some unique remodel to the property. I had been consulting other contrators in and around the surrounding area for potential estimates and I must say Jorge’s quote was not only reasonable but within our budget. He brainstormed with us on new plans and even helped us choose the right material by going with us to the hardware store.
Although due to an unforeseen tragedy within our family we had to stop our project in the middle and Jorge was very kind and gracious enough to understand our situation. Although, we did request him to finish our patio project since he already started on it and he was not only ready to work on it but he did an extremely phenomenal job using the existing material from the demolition and finishing all the work in just ONE DAY!!! How cool is that. but wait there is more to it — He even cleaned after the work and hauled away all the debris as promised.
We were thoroughly impressed with his professionalism and overall attitude and we just can’t wait for him to start back where we stopped. I would happily recommend anybody looking to remodel their existing house to get Jorge on the job if they really care about timelines, adaptability & overall complete satisfaction. THANKS JORGE!!!
May God Bless you good health as you are already blessed with a good heart :)

We built our home 3 years ago and couldn’t be more happy with the work Jorge did for us! He did almost all of our inside finishing work including 2 complete bathrooms, installing kitchen cabinetry and countertops, custom laundry cabinets, travertine tile work, hardwood, and trim. He is extremely detailed and had so many great ideas that we used in the design of our home (my favorite being our custom travertine and crown moulding fireplace that Jorge designed and installed). He is extremely talented and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend JGR construction to anyone looking to build or remodel!

We did a major remodel in 2010 that included an addition, totally new kitchen and bathroom remodel. Jorge was the most reasonably priced (I met with 7 contractors) but he was also the most down to earth. He is easy to talk to and honest throughout the process. His crew is also extremely professional, cleaned up after themselves each day and finished on schedule.
We hired him again in 2014 for a complete master suite remodel and again we love the results!

JGR and his crew are the ones to call when you want remodeling done. Jorge did a fantastic job remodeling our home. His rates are very reasonable, he is someone I would definitely use in the near future and will be referring him over to our neighbor who will be remodeling there entire home. Its been a pleasure working with you jorge… so anyone wanting reliable, hard working company then jorge is the one to call

Jorge and his crew did a wonderful job in our kitchen remodel. They started and finished when they said they would. We kept withinour budget. We hear nothing but compliments on our wonderful kitchen. If you are thinking about remodeling doyourself a favor hire JGR Construction. If you dont you may be making a mistake. If you do you would definitely be making the best choice. You will not regret it.

Jorge did a complete remodeling of our house that was in original condition. It was a great experience to work with him. He was always on the site for all day and sometimes on the nights and weekends to finish the job. There were a lot of unpleasant surprises when we opened the walls and a lot of work was added later. But he worked overtime and finished everything in the initially agreed upon time.
Jorge is true to his words and goes above and beyond to do the job right way. We are really glad with his work and attentions to details. We will definitely hire him and recommend him. He recently did a beautiful landscaping in our friends’ house and they are very happy with his work as well. He is not like a typical contractor. He works like he is working in his own home. We never felt that there was ever any conflict of interest. On top of it his rates are much more reasonable than other contractors in the area.
