James David Custom Homes - Irvine, California

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!

James and his team are a pleasure to work with. As a material supplier on his jobs Henry Company appreciates his commitment to using high-quality materials and suppliers. The Henry 1-2-3 Moisture Control System is implemented on James' projects to ensure long lasting waterproofing and energy efficiency protection. We have partnered with James on multiple projects over the past several years and look forward to many more years of collaboration.

James David Custom Homes exceeded our expectations os a prime subcontractor on our recent projects in Beverly Hills, CA and Coastal Orange County. We integrated him from the onset of the design process to help us value engineer difficult projects and lend insight into the best way to build out the design we intended regarding his scope. He comes from a broad range of experience - having worked in almost every trade along the way in his career and his knowledge base constantly shows through.

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.

I've been working with James David Custom Homes for the past two years - his team is excellent. We are working on a ground up project and we are looking to complete in the next 5 months, well ahead of the project target delivery. His professionalism, quality, attention to detail, and speed has been nothing short of remarkable.

James is very knowledgeable builder.
He completed remodeling my house in 1 year.
My only concern is some of the subs he hired were not up to the standard.
Otherwise he has a great team and good workers.
I recommend hiring him and his team.

This is the 2nd time we have used JDCH for major house work.
The first time we added new pylons, raised the house, new windows and doors, remolded 2 bathrooms, expanded the deck, exterior and new siding.
James was extremely helpful. He can “think outside of the box” to come up with solutions to problems. At the same time, he was always ready to listen to my husband and myself. Together we produced a beautiful place.
Now we had an extensive water leak in the house and need to do most of the inside.
I feel his attention to detail is another of this attributes. He does not settle for”that’s good enough”.
I am very confident and happy to have JDCH help us with this project.

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.
