Artistic Construction

Absolutely the most stress-​free, non-​intrusive, high quality contractor I have ever worked with. I had a complete bathroom gut-​job renovation and I hardly knew there was construction in my house. Taylor has been the most awesome professional to work with– a great communicator and made fantastic design recommendations to the project. Such a great job that I am hiring them to do a second bathroom! Definitely you get what you pay for– this company is the best.

This is my second review of Jon and his company. They recently finished a big garage demolition/​construction project for me. Words cannot express how amazing Jon is to work with on a project. He is responsive, professional, has incredible ideas, stays on schedule and the end result is amazing. I thought I knew what I wanted to do, how I wanted it to look, but after talking it over with Jon he came up additional creative ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of before. He turned a potentially stressful time (design, demolition, construction) into something wonderful. I never thought I would love a garage, but every time I open the door I smile. Strangely enough, we have even had a few strangers come by and compliment us on the beautiful work! I think the biggest thing is trust — after being burned by past contractors, I have been reluctant to get needed work done, but now I actually look forward to construction projects with Jon and his team!

I’m thoroughly pleased with the work Jon and his team did for my gut bathroom remodel. Artistic Construction was not the cheapest bid I received. But with a complicated remodel job in a 100+ year old home I did not want to leave it up to anyone but a professional.
Jon was helpful from the initial proposal to the final walk through. He explained all my options and the pros and cons of each choice. He was very helpful in sorting through and selecting fixtures and finishes that complimented our style. His crew members, Muñoz and Rick, were outstanding, very professional and extremely helpful and polite to my wife who was often home while they were working. By the time Jon & his team were finished with the job, they had even painted hallways and rooms adjacent to the project area at our request for no charge.
Top level service and a quality finished product. I would recommend Artistic Construction to any friend considering hiring a contractor.

Those of you familiar with that Tina Turner song, «Simply the Best», I think you can get my general vibe when it comes to Artistic Construction. Phenomenal people, very professional crew, awesome communication, and willing to roll with whatever bizarre neurotic questions I come up with about my residence.
Most importantly, I trust Jon 100% to tell me exactly what kind of repair is necessary, and to do great work on a budget. He has truly made the whole ordeal of owning a home much easier than it would be otherwise.

We moved into a new condo and wanted to redo the kitchen. We had a vague notion of what we wanted to do, but didn’t know much on the details. We spoke with a few contractors about it, and Jon immediately stood out in his creativity and problem-​solving skills. He gave us some ideas we liked, he listened to us and changed the plans based on what we wanted, and the pricing was fully transparent. We knew when we wanted to do the fancy island that it would cost us more (and how much), and he worked with us to make sure the project fit our budget and our family’s needs.
I can’t say enough good things about Jon and his crew. Here are the highlights:
1. Communication is phenomenal. Jon communicates (phone/​text/​email) honestly and professionally on appointments and plans, and he is up front about problems that are anticipated or that the team encounters.
2. Clean-​up. We could use the surrounding rooms every day because the crew vacuumed and cleaned the entire area, every day. This made a huge difference in ensuring that the project did not cause a greater disruption than necessary.
3. Professional group. The crew is great, respectful and kind, wonderful with our dog (that we should have boarded while they were here… sorry!). They take ownership as if it is their own place.
They know their limits and embodied the sense of measure twice and cut once. I joined Unilocal to write this review… Jon’s team has been great all around and we have hired them back for smaller jobs too (including cleaning up a project left by a previous contractor).

Jon was very patient and thoughtful with all of my questions from start to finish, giving his opinions when solicited but not pushy. We really needed this type of artistic, individual approach with our porch project — a total rehab of a very old porch. He was very upfront about costs, very detailed in the estimate, and there was no surprise with the final bill. I appreciate that he understood this was a major project and investment for us.
Do I like the results? Absolutely love the porch as I sit in my rocker writing this review. Everything we wanted in aesthetics and durability, colors and details. I couldn’t be happier with the work the whole crew did (and the main crew was really patient with my asking their advice too). They worked so quickly and professionally, cleaned up everything every day, took care that my potted plants weren’t damaged! We weren’t on a tight schedule but they finished the project In a very timely manner. Jon communicated next steps every day or two so we knew what to expect and when. Can’t say enough about the quality of the work. I think anyone will be happy with a project Jon takes on.

We wholeheartedly recommend Artistic Construction. Jonathan did a gut remodel of our bathroom, and everyone involved was a perfectionist. Jonathan adapted to our design wishes and created a stunning space. This is a contractor you can trust to be on time, on budget, and responsive in every phase of the project.

I can’t say enough about Jon and his work. HIGHLY recommended. He’s the only contractor I’ll use. And his subcontractors are top notch. Everyone is courteous, friendly, and really good at what they do. Most importantly, he amazingly nice and stays on time/​budget.
I bought a VERY run down 2 flat investment property. Total gut rehab — stripped down to studs and floorboards, required new HVAC, roof, walls to be moved, electrical/​plumbing, etc. Jon is thoughtful, professional, and always gave me options for balancing quality, aesthetics, time, and cost. We got permits to begin demo in mid-​June. True to his word, he had it ready for renters on Sept 1… crews worked 10 – 12 hours a day, 6 – 7 days a week. Jon is onsite everyday, very responsive to phone calls/​emails.
One thing to note — he will not be your cheapest bid; for 2 reasons.
(1) You get what you pay for in this business. I’ve heard horror stories of other contractors who disappear, go way behind schedule, do crappy work and you’re stuck with it, etc. Jon is top quality, his sub-​contractors are top quality, and he stays on time.
(2) he gives an honest bid up front rather than surprise you with budget overruns on the back end. I had 3 other contractors low-​ball the bid to win the work (30−50% less than Jon). It was clear they would never get it done for that budget. Jon stayed on budget and was right about all of his assumptions of where we were likely to have «issues» in a 100 year old house. If you get a bid from him and it seems high, sit with him for a line-​by-​line explanation as to why. He’s great at breaking things down.
I couldn’t be more happy with the job he did on this property. I plan to have him work on my primary residence this spring.

Jon’s company Artistic Construction is very thorough in their quotes and the work they do. What is best is that they are trustworthy! They are kind of like a good mechanic… when you find the one you are comfortable you stick with them. The rates are fair and the work is of the highest quality. I’ve seen work Artistic Construction has done other than our own and I have always been blown away by small projects and large ones alike. Give them a call… you really won’t regret it.
Take a look at their portfolio on their website… quality!

Jon and Artistic Construction did a complete exterior renovation of our house, including siding, windows and a new front porch. This was a large project on an old house, with all of the typical complications and unexpected ‘surprises’ that brings.
We couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality of the work and attention to detail was excellent. We continue to get compliments from neighbors and passers-​by. Jon made the process about as painless as it could be, and was professional and timely throughout.
We enthusiastically recommend Jon and Artistic Construction.

Jon and his Artistic Construction were extremely professional, courteous, timely and honest. I had to leave for a trip and left the key to Jon after meeting him for one hour. I came back, key on table an my condo looking better than ever.
I recommend them wholeheartedly.
