They are all top-notch, very professional and always with a keen eye for detail. I have great confidence when working with Jon that my designs will be executed even better than I imagined. I highly recommend Jon and J Walsh Construction. **★★★★★ — A Kagan, July 2018** > We hired J Walsh Construction to complete a remodel project of a 1900 sq foot home that needed to be completed within a 3 m period of time. The remodel included a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, all new cabinetry throughout, heating, air, new ducting, painting, electrical, specialty windows a new front door and stucco repair. We basically took the home down to the studs. The company was not only able to complete the job within the time frame, but also within the contractual budget. All of the employees and subs that worked for the construction company were delightful to work with. They were always on time, careful about their work and cleaned up daily. The professional workmanship, proficiency, expertise, knowledge and technical skills of this construction company leave no doubt by this customer to highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — R Lum, June 2018** > hired J. Walsh to remodel to my old craftsman home. We renovated a bathroom, the kitchen, replaced all the siding, added insulation, AC and added story adding one bath and one bedroom.

It was a challenging process but at no point did I think he was skimping on the quality of his work. **★★★★★ — Sheryl Adams, June 2018** > My experience with J Walsh Construction encompassed a complete interior renovation.

My neighbors complimented me multiple times about their work. > > I am completely happy with the results and would recommend them to my closest friends and family. **★★★★★ — The Pelletier Company, Feb. 2018** > Jon has been an outstanding customer of mine for over 12 years.
