JCBuilders built our new home in the willows of Menlo Park starting in 2019 and finished in 2020. The house is a craftsman design by the architect Roger Kohler. It is a two story 2600 sf home with a detached 250 sf single car garage.
Unlike other builders, James Christ provided an extremely detailed estimate. All materials and labor were separated and explained while the final cost essentially matched the estimate.
Communication with James was excellent which was important. When issues came up they were discussed and the resolution agreed upon fairly. Planning was very professional and James

James Crist Builders just finished our complete home remodel. It was an extensive job, requiring total demo of most of the prior house, then new excavation, foundation, the works, etc. All told we ended up with an essentially new home.
We first met Jamie when we were considering property purchases about 2 years ago. He was very flexible about meeting us at listed properties prior to offers to review current conditions and give us a good sense of what we could do and what it would take to make the house what we wanted it to be. Jamie spent many hours visiting and reviewing no less than 3

We had JCB repair and remodel our master bathroom and are *very* happy with both the process and the result. Jamie is a very down-to-earth guy, open and honest. He was very patient in working through the plans and costs with me (I had lots of questions!) and was willing to make multiple revisions to help us stay within our budget. He referred us to several different vendors for tile, plumbing fixtures, etc., and we were equally happy with them (especially Cynthia at Artistic Tile and Stone). Jamie runs a tight ship with both his direct crew and subcontractors. All of them were polite, on-time

James Crist is very easy to work with and he really listens to his clients' needs. For example, because he knew we were budget-conscious, on his own initiative he created a bid that broke down the costs area by area, and he was the only bidder to do this. It was extremely helpful in showing us where the high costs were. He addressed our questions and needs throughout the bidding process.
Unfortunately, financial circumstances ultimately kept us from doing the work we had hoped to do with him. However, I called three of his references and they all praised the quality of his work, his
