**★★★★★ — fourweinrichs, Nov. 2014**

> Jim Earle completely gutted and remodeled my 30-year-old kitchen in 2013. He worked patiently with me and all the sub-contractors so I could have exactly what I wanted (within my budget!). He kept me on task, but didn't rush me to make my decisions. He's got great contacts in all facets of the industry and he helped me get in touch with them and meet with them for decision-making meetings, etc. He worked in my home every day for about 6 weeks and we actually became pretty good friends! His craftsmanship and attention to detail were impeccable. Each day he would point out areas where I needed to make decisions, and help me work through them. He thoroughly cleaned up his mess at the end of each day, and was extremely conscientious about our living situation and comfort level during the construction process.  I recommend him to all my friends for their household jobs large and small!  What a great, honest, talented guy!

**★★★★★ — levansthompson, Oct. 2014**

> Carmel Valley Contracting is the BEST!  We've had two remodels with this company in the past two years.  The first was an entire house reflooring; 18" travertine tiles throughout the first floor & hardwood on the 2nd floor.  Jim Earle uses exceptional tradesmen & craftsmen.  Jim personally does plumbing, electrical & cabinetry work.  Our 2nd project was a kitchen remodel.  WOW, such an updated beautiful change!  Jim is very meticulous to detail & finish, professional & knowledgeable in his trade.  Projects started & finished on time & on budget.  Workplace left clean & organized each day.  Our HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION for Carmel Valley Contracting.

**★★★★★ — Lisa McLeod, Oct. 2014**

> Many contractors just do what you tell them to do, with no eye for design. Jim Earle is different.  For my bath remodel he recommended a few key design tweaks, and some material choices that took the project from average to stellar. I truly have a dream bathroom.   Jim has a designer's eye, along with the skill and team to get it done on time, and on budget.
