James David Custom Homes did a fabulous job with our remodel! It was a major project, adding sq. footage. We changed our style from Spanish Mediterranean to modern. Our home was basically gutted with everything being updated. From 1986 style to the 2,000’s. We are very happy with them.James is capable of handling any size project. The bigger and more complicated the better. I recommend James David Custom Homes if you are looking for a true Pro. Quality takes time. You must be patient.J Grant/ Vivian GrantYorba Linda, CA
About two years ago, we engaged James David Custom Homes as our general contractor for an extensive remodel of our 40+ year-old home. We worked directly with James and were extremely pleased with his knowledge, attention to detail and the quality of work from his team and his subcontractors. In addition, he and his team are a pleasure to work with. Our home turned out beautifully so we didn't hesitate to call James again when we decided to finish the remodeling of our upstairs. While the work has just started, he has already added value with his ideas and ability to spot concerns that we may not see. We are very much looking forward to the finished product. Highly recommend!
We hired James David Custom homes for essentially a complete tear down and custom re-build of our home in Seal Beach. James and his team are extremely knowledgeable and professional making a difficult process run smoothly. Jaime our main project manager was incredible. He was on site every day and provided constant updates and feedback and could troubleshoot even the most complex of problems. Additionally project manager Kevin and office manager Storm were integral to the completion of our home.From the very beginning James' detail oriented approach made the process more transparent and their bid was extremely detailed (almost 60 pages long!) compared to other bids we received.Using the app Buildertrend we would receive a log of activity and progress pictures daily which made us feel much more connected to the day to day process.Overall building a custom home is an extremely time consuming and expensive process however we could not be more happy with the outcome and transformation.
