Kitchen Remodel
The project went as expected until the last couple of weeks. At the end of construction there were about 13 things that needed to fixed or addressed (punch list). The contractor demanded the final payment ($2,000) before all the work was completed. We agreed to make three payments, at the start, midway through and at the completion of all work. When we refused to make the final payment before all work was completed the contractor gave me an argument. Also the "project leader" only came to the job to collect money. Never once just to see how things were going. Bottom line the contractor took all the joy out of the remodel with his attitude toward us. He was arrogant and condescending.

The work began October 22 and was never completed as promised before Thanksgiving. Days before Christmas, we found he went out of business. We have had to pay twice for work to be finished since he left us stranded and did not pay his subcontractors. We often waited an entire week to only get 2 hours of work done. I am hindsight, this was probably because he was not paying his sun contractors. We also had to pay a granite upcharge fee twice. This has been an arduous experience living for 10.5 weeks with no kitchen. BEWARE AND RUN!

Hired Jim for a bathroom remodel. Was told I had to pay half the cost up front $22,000. Paid and contract signed with work starting January 17th, 2022. Found out he went bankrupt, no work has been done and he refuses to answer calls, texts, emails. I have reported him to the State and will be finding a lawyer. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

THIS COMPANY IS A CRIMINALLY ACTIVE SCAMMER!!! I signed a contract on Sept. 28, 2021 requiring $11.750.00 deposit to hire this company. I was required to go an purchase the french door which I did. When door was delivered I contacted this contractor which began giving me the runaround on when they could get to it. Today, 12/28/21, I texted the owner -- JIMMY BERRERAS, that Im considering requesting my deposit and getting another contractor. coincidentally, I received a call from the Architect checking on the progress of the project only to be informed that this company is NOW CLOSED AND NO ONE IS GETTING THEIR MONEY BACK. Ive filed a report with Riverside Police for a Theft by deception complaint and sought legal advice to have my deposit returned.

I have drafted a very long scathing review but unfortunately, it is too long to fit here. The short version is that the actual workers are great, but Jimmy and Brian Barreras are the worst communicators! At first, they filed for the permit in the wrong township, which led to a month delay in starting the job. Demolition was on June 28, 2021, and they did not finish their portion until late September, which led to a delay with the shower door which was not installed until last week - December 22, 2021. When they started the job, I asked to be informed of what work would be done each week so we would know whom to expect. I do not think that was an unreasonable ask. After days in July when NO WORK was being done nor was there any communication as to what would be done that week (or 1-2 hours a day), I asked when the tile work would begin. That was on a Monday. I was told I had heard back on Tuesday. When I had not heard anything on Friday, I called again and was told to try to relax! How patronizing! They had NO problem at all asking for payment every step of the way. They sent their goon to collect $ every step of the way! I understand Covid delays and labor shortages, but there is NO EXCUSE for a lack of communication.

I gave him $15,000 and he went out of business after damaging my property, taking my current kitchen countertopss left porta potty and dumpster out front. i contacted Angi list by phone and they took no responsability. They offer no help whatsoever in getting the work done or returning my $15,000. As an 89 year old person, i am left without a kitchen no sink, no appliances and little recourse. We filed with the police nothing done so far.

Sunroom or Patio Enclosure Building Service
I am 75years old and was just scammed out of $35,000.00. This job of enclosing existing patio was just started in December from a contract signed July 25th, 2021. He got $20,000.00 and $15,000.00 more in the past 2 weeks and just heard today he is going out of business. He knew this and took my money anyway. My savings for a enclosed porch with shell, 2 sliding doors and no windows put in. I am having chest pains. Better never cross my path again. He won't walk away.

Started the remodeling project then he closed the business. All I got done was a Demo and some rough electrical work. Now I am without a kitchen and no way to even contact the company! Unreal!

Bathroom Remodel
Jimmy came out and we signed a legally binding contract. The company came out and demolished the bathroom, then communication stopped. I kept reaching out and was told they were behind, don?t worry as they will be out soon. Today, I got a text from one of his employees that Jimmy Barreras closed his company running off with my parents (who are in their 80s) money from their savings!! My bathroom is gutted and that is it, he still has the last payment and failed to do the work !!!! How can someone do this to another person? I am beside myself as they paid Jimmy over 24,000. Return our money Jimmy!!

Stay away from this contractor. He took all the money out of the joint account $26,000.00 a month before starting any work. Signed the contract in May of 2021, it is now December of 2021 and we were just told he folded the company, with only about 1/4 of the work done.. no floor, no walls, no doors, no fixtures, just an empty room with no insulation.. This guy is a crook and needs to be investigated and locked up..

Spectacular! That's the only way to describe my new bathroom! They are outstanding at what they do. Highly professional. Requires a little patience, but the end result is amazing. Loved them so much, they're coming back in January to remodel my master bathroom!

I thought the work that they did was excellent. They were professional and did everything that we spoke of. My only thing was it took longer than expected but that was really due to the nature of the business right now. Overall, they did an excellent job and Iâ m very happy with the outcome. I would recommend and use them again.

Where do I begin.. We received a later start date and longer completion due to covid but it was all worth it. Working with both Jimmy and Ralph was amazing. They both definitely want to make sure you are satisfied. Ralph kept in communication throughout the entire job and did fantastic on the remodel of our laundry room. He stayed later on some days just to finish his work. The quality of work, is definitely worth the wait, and we will be hiring SJHC again for more home improvements!

First of all, Jimmy and Brian were super nice guys. Friendly and personable. I wish I had a better experience with them remodeling my kitchen. I was looking to upgrade my kitchen with new countertops, appliances, backsplash, and new flooring in the kitchen and living room. Jimmy came in gave me an estimate for granite countertops, demo, and reinstall flooring and backsplash. On the estimate, he said they would leave the original molding around the floor. Here are the pros and cons of my project: Pros: SJHC workers were all friendly and excellent at their jobs completed countertops look amazing Leo did an outstanding job installing the very complex backsplash. It looks awesome Cons: They never had a project manager come and assess my job as Jimmy said they would. I had to ask Gene all my questions while he was there demoing the backsplash. Poor scheduling, I would get texts in the morning saying someone was coming that day to do work. I work 40 minutes away and have two dogs, so that was very inconvenient. I felt like they were shoehorning me in whenever they could. None of the workers showing up knew what was going on, and I had to instruct them what to do. My biggest complaint was the flooring. The floorer left significant gaps that did not go under the existing molding. I sent Jimmy pictures of the gaps saying the floor looked terrible and incomplete. He told me that was not covered and would need to charge me more to fix it! I agreed to pay for a carpenter to install a quarter round. Jimmy said he would call later in the week with the day the carpenter would come after I made the final payment. I waited over 3 weeks, and of course, he never called. I had to get someone else in to complete the job. Not cool! My advice if using SJHC is to make sure you get everything in writing. Make sure a project manager comes and does the measuring and writes down everything you need to purchase. Then, do not make the final payment until completely satisfied with the job.

Jimmy and Brian were the greatest! During the pandemic they took extra precautions and were very professional. Whatever they say they do and I liked working with family owned business. Ron and Richie were always available at the office too if I needed anything. I will call on them for all my future needs they did a beautiful work on my Bathroom.

Best skilled craftsmen I have ever hired. Clean, precise and helpful with design decisions. A difficult job with many Covid 19 snags (illnesses and material delays) EXCEPTION: Hire you own painter.
