I really value the opinion of those ''in the trade" so to speak, and I appreciated Jesse's ideas and input on our project. In addition to that, he was able to be flexible and expand the scope, as agreed, which I find is a rare, highly prized commodity in this hot, hot market right now. I am absolutely thrilled with the result of my laundry, stairwell and two bedroom remodel. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone looking for a contractor and in fact, if I do my next "dream job", Jesse and Lightcap Construction would be my pick. **★★★★★ — kristinjudy, Dec. 2020** > Jesse did an exceptional job installing new doors, wood flooring, and baseboards in our home. I was particularly pleased that he cleaned up after each day he worked in our home as if he hadn't even been there. I highly recommend his work. You don't often find contractors who do work of the caliber that he did for us these days. ## Selected projects - [Virginia TC](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/virginia-tc-pj-vj~6463752) - Location: Tahoe City, CA - Photos: 8 - Description: In this project we removed original wood wall board and replace with drywall.
