James David Custom Homes

James, Wanted to thank you again for "knocking out of the park" on our recent project. Your team is great to work with and is comforting to know everything gets handled in a prompt / professional manner each and every time. Keep up the great work !

We hired James David Custom Homes for a complete rebuild of our home in Seal Beach. James and his team including project manager Kevin, office manager storm, and especially our project manager Jaime were extremely professional, communicative and knowledgeable. Jaime who was in charge of the day to day was always on site and ready and willing to answer any questions or tackle or new problems that arose. The bid process was extremely detailed with each item required accounted for (our bid was ~ 60 pages long compared to 2 pages from another contractor.) Throughout construction we received daily updates via the Buildertrend App with progress pictures through each step. Overall we are extremely satisfied with the finished product and while there are always some surprises and ups and downs with any large scale project I feel these were handled quickly and confidently. Would highly recommend James and his team for any custom construction product.

I have worked with James David Custom Homes on a couple projects and am impressed by their professionalism and customer service. They really put customer service as a high priority! As an Interior Designer they are great to work and collaborate with; respecting the designers vision but also sharing their experiences with the construction process I look forward to working with James David on future projects.

James David built the most beautiful home for us in Corona Del Mar. The build quality, fit and finish were superb. I will definitely look to the JDCH Team again for my luxury and custom home builds. Thanks James Davis Custom Homes Team!

Choosing my contractor was probably one of the toughest decisions I had to make. I don't consider myself a strong decision maker so I make sure to have enough information to make the best decision I can. There are many other creative, hardworking, and honest contractors that can build the home you want, but I ended up going with James David Custom Homes (JDCH) because they are genuine. For me, it was all about finding the right people who can translate my concepts into construction, and who I can really enjoy being around. I felt inspired and informed so much to the point where I didn't feel stressed. The people at JDCH were always on top of the paperwork, communications, and schedule. I strongly believe that the homeowner must also be on top of their paperwork, communications and schedule in order to facilitate the project. I highly recommend JDCH for your next build, because I will most certainly call them for mine.

Over 5 years ago I purchased a home in Huntington Beach from James (owner of James David Custom Homes). I could not be happier with the home and the quality of the workmanship. I was blown away the minute I saw the home, and everyone who has been here since is amazed by all of the beautiful details. James is fantastic! Although it has been over 5 years he still answers my text messages when I can't find things like the main line sewer access (I may be needy at times...). James not only informs me about my home but he tries to educate me too so that I know how to handle things in the future. If this isn't enough to convince you that James is great you should also know that my parents were so blown away by the work he did on this home that we purchased in Huntington Beach, that they hired him to remodel our family home in Coto De Caza. The quality of the home is top notch and we couldn't be happier with our decision!

James David and his entire crew is an absolute pleasure to work with. Our firm, Jeannette Architects, strongly believes that any recommendation we make to our clients is an extension of ourselves and so we don’t take it lightly. We know with absolute confidence that our clients will be taken care of by every member of the team at James David Custom Homes from start to finish. Their attention to detail, team-based mentality and excellent communication skills are just a few of the reasons our clients enjoy working with them. They dig into every detail of the numbers when putting bids together and propose cost saving measures that aren’t at the expense of good design. They use tools like ‘Builder Trend’ that allow everyone to see photos of the construction progress online and review daily reports at any time. The final product at the end of the day is a beautifully crafted, high quality build that any homeowner would be proud to call home.

James David Custom Homes did an excellent job on our full kitchen remodel. Six months after the final walk through, the kitchen is still our dream come true. The custom cabinets are everything we had hoped for; they are durable, strong and beautiful. The execution of the job was almost perfect from demo to completion (although it did take a little longer than expected as construction can). The JDCH team were the nicest, hard working guys that showed up when they said they would and explained everything in great detail. Their communication is 100% on point. I would definitely recommend JDCH and am beyond happy with the final turn out and quality of their craftsmanship.

James Lepak and his team at James David Custom Homes did an amazing job on my extensive modern remodel in Newport Beach. My 2100 sq ft house was torn down to the studs and rooms were moved to different locations and an addition was added. Even when we hit a snag with the original house being old, we found a way to do Plan B. James would come up with alternative ideas in workarounds and with design. If he knew I was missing something, he was on it. Their attention to detail and responsiveness was exactly what I needed since this was my first-time remodeling something other than a bathroom. James took my project seriously and was always available if/when I needed him. To top it off, they always left my site each day clean. I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a remodel or essentially a rebuild!

Given the number of unique high end finishes we desired as part of the full remodel, the process became complicated at times. The superintendent, Jamie Maqueda, did an excellent job keeping all parties patient and tracking towards completion. The ultimate outcome was a high quality finish, providing a conversion to the open modern Santa Barbara feel we desired at the outset.

We hired James David Custom Homes in February, 2016, to build our home in Newport Beach, CA. Building a home at the time seemed daunting and we had mostly heard only negative things about contractors and the experience overall. Fortunately, we chose James to help us through that process and he not only helped to make it a very exciting experience, but a very rewarding one, too. James is an experienced contractor who pays attention to detail. He is very knowledgeable about architecture and design and when things aren't clear to him, he seeks additional information for clarity. He works well with other players of the team and keeps the project moving forward with ease. When we experienced a problem or issue, James' foreman was extremely responsive and our issues were resolved quickly and seamlessly, for the most part. Of course we experienced some hurdles along the building process, but nothing that couldn't be worked through. One of the strongest reasons we decided to build with James David Custom Homes was because of the quality product we knew we would have at the end of the experience. Our home is stunning. The woodworking requirements were extensive, and the installation and finishing team did an amazing job. Electrical, Plumbing and finishing teams worked seamlessly together to ensure our home was magnificent. Regarding the timeline on the project, we were about 2 months later than our estimated targets. This was due to circumstances beyond James' control. His team was on site every single day and worked tirelessly not because of a deadline, but because of their work ethic and commitment to success. In conclusion, we would recommend this contractor if you're building a custom home, and especially if you're in need of much customized woodworking. Great work James!

My company used James David Custom Homes to build our home in Corona Del Mar. James staff was super responsive and very solution driven. As with all projects we come across road blocks and the company was great at anticipating many of them and always being prepared with options for our team. Our build speed was amazing and the quality of work was impeccable. I would highly recommend James David Custom Homes for your next build!!
