JVF Construction remodeled two 60-year-old bathrooms in our house. They arrived on time, worked incredibly hard each day, and completed the project on time and on budget. The bathrooms look great - better than we could have imagined - due to the craftsmanship, talent and attention to detail these workers provided. Jose (the owner) was on the job site every day, often working along side his crew who clearly like and respect him. When decisions needed to be made, Jose made sure to ask us ahead of time, keeping us involved in the project along the way. We would definitely hire JVF Construction again.

To overhaul our master bathroom we got bids from 4 contractors. I chose the top 2 this site, then another recommended by a friend, and a final one, Jose who owns JVF Construction who has top ratings on another review site. All were pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. Jose impressed us with his personality and experience. Immediately we noticed his great communication skills which we took full advantage of while he remodeled our bathroom. His estimate was far below the other estimates so we selected Jose. We surmise that a reason for Jose's lower estimate is that Jose and Juan (his skilled craftsman) do all of the work along with another craftsman who does tile work) . So his overhead is much, much less than his competitors. Before the project started we met to discuss safety rules in light of the COVID-19 virus. We agreed that Jose and his men would always wear a face mask and gloves and that we and they would maintain a safe clear distance from each other. We had an amazing time watching Jose create our new bathroom. The completely renovated bathroom exceeded our lofty expectations. Our bathroom is much larger than average. He was always available to us by phone, email or text. We were responsible for purchasing the bathroom fixtures and much of the hardware. Jose recommended that we consider Wayfair because they have many products and good pricing. But before I ordered anything I always checked with Jose first. On a few instances he pointed something out that I had not considered and then opted to select another product. He also made a few suggestions to make the bathroom more functional and enjoyable. For instance, he said he could build a larger 6-foot shower with more depth, and he recommended recessed lighting and medicine cabinets with lighting so that vanity lights would not be necessary. While working on the project Jose always sought our input on anything that involved discretion. His favorite expression is that his job was to provide a custom-built bathroom for us. He stressed that his sole goal was to produce that bathroom of our dreams. At the end of the work day the men cleaned up the work site before leaving. Sometimes after his 2 men left Jose would show us the progress made. After the remodeling was finished we had a completely new bathroom with a pantry that houses a stacked washer/dryer and shelving; a beautiful big shower with a rainshower head coming out of the ceiling and big bench with separate pole and shower wand; a 6-foot vanity and a bidet on the toilet and sleek recessed white lighting and extra outlets. His tile man did a wonderful job of installing the floor tile, shower wall and seat tile, tile for 2 niches and shower floor tile. It was quite a challenge because we selected tiles of different shapes and sizes. We are in our 60s and plan to age in place. So we asked Jose to make the bathroom accessible. He did just that: -- no curb on the shower; no curb from the bedroom to the bathroom. And we chose a sliding shower door with a very wide opening. He also installed 3 grab bars (2 in the shower and 1 next to the toilet). From start to finish Jose and his men worked very hard -- early start each day and then worked a full day. In fact, Jose asked if they could work on a couple of Saturdays. Before leaving on the last day of the project they cleaned up our bedroom so that it was cleaner than it was before the work started. Jose completed our bathroom remodel in 2 weeks. Apart from the bathroom contract Jose did a couple of other jobs for us while they were here. I give Jose the highest recommendation. Very high quality work and lowest price by far. Cannot beat that combination! Less
