Powerhouse Green Construction - Home Facebook

I have a deck that wasnt permitted. I secured a permit from the city El Cajon and call 4 construction companies . Jack got back to me in a very short time, one never called back and the others took sometime to get back to me. Jack came out looked at the project and had a bid for me in 2 days,the others took from 3-7 days . Jacks bid was not the cheapest ,but his knowledge of the project and his professionalism made it easy to go with Powerhouse Green. Jack explained that his workers would arrive about 8-8:30 and would leave throughout the day for materials they needed for the job. Jack showed on the 1st day with his workers and we went over the project so everybody was on the same page. The workers had a very positive attitude and were easy to work with. Their were minor changes that I wanted and they made them with a smile no problem. They completed the job in a timely matter and cleaned up the job site very good. We past inspection on the 1st time. We were very happy with the job Jack and his crew did. We would recommend Powerhouse Green anytime.

We have had Jack and Jen out to the house for 3 different projects. We initially sought them out after a terrible experience with a previous contractor that left our home with a blackwater flood and remaining items unfinished. Jack and Jen saved the day! They made the process so easy for us that it was a breath of fresh air. Our previous experience left us concerned about having someone else into our home, but Jack and Jen were honest, fair, and took care of things before we could even notice them. Not to mention after 3 separate projects they have completed for us, not one single change order! They may appear somewhat pricer on initial estimate but their work, their responsiveness and desire to please the customer, and their ultimate fairness will pay itself back in full. Go Powerhouse Green!

I had Powerhouse Green build me a one car garage from the ground up. Grade the ground, concrete slab, and full one car garage build. Great experience from start to finish. Jack the owner came and bid the project (I did already have plans and permits in hand). His quote was inline with what I had budgeted and was quoted from others but his reviews and confidence in doing the project sold me. The company does have a very nice portfolio. Once we agreed on everything Jen V. (Project manager) takes over and walks you through the project. She was our go to on any questions or concerns. Very prompt and got back with me on all text or calls. The build was done by Ernie Winfield and his crew and they nailed it. Spot on to plan and came in on price as quoted. I have no problem referring them and will be having them update our kitchen and master bath soon.

Good

Super awesome

Cabinets have not been installed yet. It they had great choices. Merrill is awesome to work with. They are also putting turf in our backyard. Would definitely recommend.

Powerhouse Company was great, they worked around our needs as we have two parents with Dementia, one being bed bound. Ernie (Project Manager) is very knowledgeable and he leads a great team. They were great to have around, friendly, efficient, informed us of what they would be working on each day. Quality of work is outstanding. From walls being taken down, popcorn ceiling removed, carpet pulled up total kitchen remodel, total bathroom remodel, whole house painted, new floors whole house, new driveway poured. Thank You Jack & Bonnie for your patience and Making our future care giving for our parents so much easier. The house is amazing. Thank You

Always on time. Finished within time estimate. Great job. Would use again.

Powerhouse has exceeded my expectations on all levels, customer service, timelines, friendliness, and the quality of work they provide. Ernie was the best project manager. He is the man. All my questions were answered in a timely manner and their level of knowledge was expert. I look forward to working with them on future projects!! Bonnie and Jack the owner and the manager was superb in thier service as well. If you want quality work, service and expertise go with Powerhouse Green construction! I couldn’t recommend them more. Very happy customer.

The owner of the company (Jack Davis) was very accommodating during the construction period. He was very understanding of our expectations and needs. His crew of workers are awesome. They are, in fact, artists in what they do. The crew was also sensitive to our wants and needs.

Jack, Ernie, Vincent and his additional crew were amazing. We had a deck removed and replaced, sliding glass patio doors installed in brick walls, former windows closed off, part of an overhang removed, removal of a pony-wall at the front entrance, conversion of an old built-in cabinet into an alcove, new electrical, the entire stucco of the house was re-textured, plastering and painting of several rooms, and the list goes on. Everything was done with care. Anything that we felt was not quite right (even though meeting and surpassing the specific requested construction) was redone to our desired wishes. All of the people doing the work were very accommodating and treated us like family (good family). Just one of many, many examples: We wanted lighting incorporated in the decking railing. Unfortunately, upon completion I was able to see the lights but only wanted to see the light they produced. In response, the entire handrail of the decking was remove, replaced with new wood which was re-positioned to better accommodate the light strips, and a clever 'skirt', which actually improved the look of the railing, was added that hid the lights but still allowed the light itself to perfectly illuminate the area - all at no additional cost! Guests are awed and how attractive this outdoor living area appears. I could go on for many additional paragraphs detailing the many other positive experiences we had and how happy we are with the final results. We interviewed several contractors and felt that the estimate by Powerhouse was very reasonable; but, in the end the service and careful attention of detail was priceless. Do yourself a favor financially and for your mental well-being are consider these comments when choosing your contractor. Maybe for a very small job you can live with results that are somewhat unsatisfying. On any larger project this is the construction 'family' you should place at the top of your hire list.

I discovered Powerhouse after a miserable experience working with a local restoration company after a flood. Jack, Bonnie and the rest of the crew were a pleasure to work with and helped make a difficult time as easy as possible. Communication was top -notch. Very responsive and quick to answer any questions and address any concerns. Work was top notch. Crews were clean and very hard working. I was impressed, as were my neighbors. I would hire Powerhouse Green Construction again in a heartbeat, and I would recommend them to any one considering work on their house.

Jack and his team were fantastic to work with. The job was accomplished in the timeframe quoted. All of them were friendly, professional, neat and very easy to work with. Excluding only a couple of minor mis communications, the job went very smoothly and I'd definitely highly recommend them.

Jack provided multiple estimates and never got everything we wanted in writing, even after we reminded him multiple times; Jack would say, we will take care of it, we wont leave any stone left unturned, which has come back to bite us in the behind. Because Jack quit, and never put anything in writing, things that should have been line items in the original agreed upon estimate became items that have been held over our heads. For example, Jack had his crew power wash a section of the eaves, which caused damage or showed termite damage. The solution? Place tongue and groove in the eaves. Jack said he would cover the labor, as long as I pay for the material. Fair, correct? I guess, considering I already paid Jack to have the eaves sanded! Well, because Jack quit, and things have gone sideways between us, he is suggesting that I am trying to take advantage of him by not having him charge me for the labor! Really, how does that make any sense? Jack did not even remember about charging me for the material in the first place, because, once again, he does not write anything down! Even after I told him, he still insists that I should pay for the labor! The real problem in all of this is that we allowed Jack to collect more than 95% of the remodel cost, and he has left us with more than 5% of the work to be completed and/or corrected; hence his interest in walking away. The reality is, we would have fired Jack long before, but he owed us more in material, finish work and labor than what our remaining balance was. If you choose to hire Jack, I would insure that you keep the last 10% until he finishes your project, to your satisfaction. Otherwise, Jack has two guys and they do everything: demo, plumbing, electrical, framing, drywall, and finish work. With regard to their work, I would rate it a B or 80%, which is below the standard in which I expected. This review is not meant to paint Jack or his guys as horrible people, because they are not; but I did not hire Jack because I wanted to have nice guys perform the work, I wanted the work to be completed competently. I will update this review upon an amiable outcome.

Extremely friendly subs, very approachable and amenable to small changes, quality of finished product is great
