New home construction is probably the most satisfying experience a home owner and our company could possibly experience. You could maximize what you could do with your lot, along with limitless imagination of "what could be". New construction is not constrained by existing structure, room layout, plumbing configuration, etc.
Many times when we are doing major home renovations, the thought always becomes audible that "maybe we should have just tore this thing down". While there are limitations with setbacks, home footprint to lot ratio limits, etc., it is just a lot of fun and fulfilling. We definitely enjoy starting a house from scratch.
The kitchen is without question the most important room in the house. Kitchen remodeling is a exciting way to change the feel of your home. If you did absolutely nothing to your house but remodeling your kitchen, you would feel like you are living in a new house. Removing walls, "opening up" a kitchen, installing an island, or just reconfiguring your kitchen layout does something to your house like nothing else can.

Remodeling a bathroom doesn't just mean fixing the current functional pieces that no longer work, needs replacing, or so old that it uses more energy and water compared to today's bathroom utilities. At JGR, we let your imagination run free with inspired ideas from HGTV. Did you see a masterpiece that you just loved from one of the designers on HGTV?
Be assured that when building an addition to your home, our planning and construction is done correctly and follow the appropriate city codes. Building an addition takes careful planning to alleviate any rejections from the city. With our experience, time will not be wasted trying to get the proper permits to begin your project.
This is an addition that we did last year. This project involved the making of a master suite with a master bathroom, Master walk in closets, and big bedroom. All of this was done within a 500 square foot addition. We did the foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, stucco, drywall, trim work and all the finish work.

We used George and his crew for 3 projects. They do excellent work. George is very flexible and is a good communicator - keeps us informed along the way. They re-built a water damaged balcony, a bathroom remodel, and drywall repair due to a leaky pipe. Their workers are diligent, considerate, and perform quality work. Scheduling was a little bit of a challenge, but I imagine that's the case with most contractors these days due to Covid. But once they start - they're locked in and completely committed to the job. I'll be using JGR for future projects and renovations.

I have had a chance working with Jorge on several projects, big and small, on our rentals in San Jose and Milpitas since July 2017. Jorge and his team are hard working, always available, easy to work with. He also worked with us to meet our tight budget and get the work done right.... which I really appreciate. Thank you Jorge and the team very much!! I hope you will have time for us on our future projects...

Update to my review: a year after our remodel was done, I called Jorge back because I wanted to change out the lights he had installed. Within 72 hours, one of his guys was at my house at no extra cost. It is rare to work with contractors that will accommodate that kind of request, especially a year after the job is done! He is the best!

Jorge has worked on a full house remodel including plumbing, electrical, kitchen, and baths and now a large addition to our home. We really enjoy working with him and have loved the end product-- always getting praise from our neighbors and guests. George is honest, patient, good at communicating and has been a real pleasure to work with and keeps the project clean and on time! We would highly recommend him.

Had an appointment for 11am today with Jorge to get an estimate. When he didn't show, I sent him a text asking if he was still coming. He apologized and said he hadn't looked at his calendar and asked if I was available later in the day. We reset the appointment for 5:30pm. It's 6pm and he hasn't arrived.
When we made the appointment, we noticed that we had an appointment a couple years prior for an estimate. At the time, we had a leak in our roof and water damage and had decided to do some remodeling along with the repairs. I looked back at my notes as I was wondering why

We hired Jorge to add a room in our house. He started work within 3 months after I talked to him. He also recommended very good engineer to do design. As promised , he finished the job within 1 month. His crew are very good and listen to our concern. They come on time and keep the place relatively clean even during construction. He gives attention to details and does quality work. On top of that he is responsive to phone calls, text message and very easy to work .
All our friends and family loved the room that we added. Many of the folks told us that new room , roof , walls doesn't looks

We renovated our kitchen through Jorge and we are beyond pleased with the stunning result. They tore out the old cabinets, installed new cabinets, new countertop , backsplash, new flooring, new electrical outlets.
Jorge's attention to detail and design decisions were noteworthy. What I really liked about him is his immediate response to text messages or phone calls. Made the stressful project a smooth move knowing that you could easily contact him with any queries. His team members are extremely efficient which matters very much ultimately in any project. They were here early morning right

This review is overdue. We have done several renovations before and to be honest, it's a hit and miss with the contractors you work with. This particular project we were quite nervous because it involved a structural element and was not just cosmetic. We met with several contractors including contractors our architect had recommended. We decided to go with Jorge because of his attention to detail and an overall comfortable feeling we had when we met with him. Luckily for us Jorge was able to work with our schedule. With any project there will always be unexpected surprises. What we

We interviewed four contractors we found on Yelp to remodel my house. All of the reviews for JGR Construction were great, but we had no idea that Jorge would become our hero. He has such a great personality and is a very intelligent person with integrity. We had plans from an architect but Jorge suggested changes that improved the project immensely. He was always patient with us and always had an idea to deal with the bumps that arise with a 62 year old house. We truly can't thank him enough.

I talked with Jorge to do some work on my front yard. We agreed to remove the natural grass and replace one part with artificial grass and the rest with concrete. My family was very pleased with the finished work and now we are enjoying a nice front of the house and not to worry with my yard being dry because of the drought.
Thank you Jorge! ... Next the hardwood!
Take care,

I called JGR Construction because of all the good ratings they had, and felt they must be doing great things. I was very pleased when Jorge came over to see us to discuss possibilities. He was very nice and easy to talk too. He checked out my Kitchen because i wanted the whole kitchen remodeled and he even gave me some ideas. All his crew, Edward, Bernardo, Valintine, Frank, and Tony the granite cutter were excellent workers and very nice and considerate. I wanted my kitchen done in May and they were able to plan everything. I love my kitchen and the porcelain tile floors look amazing like real

Jorge of JGR was recommended by a lady I met randomly around my the neighborhood. She spoke of him with high regard. I then browsed thru his yelp reviews and was impressed.
I called and he agreed to meet the following day for inspection and quick estimate. He arrived as scheduled, inspected the property, shared some design suggestions and supplier recommendations. Jorge knew what was he was talking about. His quote was reasonable, not the cheapest but reasonable. I booked him for the job.

We hired JGR to help us with drainage issues in our front yard. We knew we wanted to put in a french drain and our main goal was to have that done. Jorge came out the same day I called and did a quote and give us our options. We elected to put in a sump pump as well. The job was done very quickly (within 3 days). He even followed up to make sure everything was working correctly a few weeks later.
Overall, we are really pleased with his work. We will definitely hire him again in the future should we need some work done.

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

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

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

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
