Customer Testimonials

J5 Homes won us over early in the process. Ava and Agustin were extremely knowledgeable and insightful. They built the relationship early by spending time learning about the project and providing thoughtful feedback. With an extremely professional and competitive bid we selected J5 Homes and had a great sense of security that we could fully trust them renovating our dream condo. The ten week project went underway and we were immediately impressed by how quickly they made progress. Ava was a great project manager and very communicative and Agustin was extremely diligent and thorough. The team worked hard and long hours in some cases. All the inspections were passed with ease and the work continued without a hitch. No project goes without challenges and there were a few minor ones on our project. However, Ava and Agustin put their heads together and came up with thoughtful and elegant solutions to keep the work high end and on track. Both Ava and Agustin showed great taste and would offer their opinion when appropriate. The project finished on schedule and on budget! The craftsmanship was stunning! It was just what we imagined and more. The team was committed to getting everything perfect for us and happy to come back multiple times after we had moved in to fine tune. We can't thank J5 Homes enough for our incredible new home and strongly recommend them!Read More

J5 Homes was hired to complete an approximate 650 square foot addition to our San Leandro home. This included a master suite, kitchen, and breakfast nook. We also did some additional work in other parts of the home, including opening up some walls and new trim work around existing windows. Ava and Augustin did an awesome job from sitting down to discuss the initial bid to building out the timeline to complete the project once the contract was signed. The team accommodated our change requests and did a good job explaining how it may impact the completion of other areas. They also were very diligent on all of the details like ensuring the light fixtures above the island were center and even, or building us their signature stair case to our backyard. It was this attention to detail and workmanship that made us very happy to have them working on our project. The project was completed on time and on budget as we initially discussed. They went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied and I would hire them again for other projects that we may have in the future.Read More

We hired J5 Homes to do a major kitchen remodel. We had decided to remove several walls, and therefore had to re-do plumbing and electrical for most of the space. We also installed a tankless water heater outdoors. Augustin and his team did a great job, showed up on time everyday, cleaned up the area before they left everyday. They were very accommodating with changes that we made along the way, and with unexpected findings. The project was completed right on time and on budget. They went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied.Read More
