Property City, State

As is so common in Coastal Orange County, when the Walshes started their search for a bigger home to accommodate their needs as their family grew, they found half of what they were looking for­—an undersized house situated on a fantastic property. Luckily, JDL Construction was hard at work rebuilding the home next door, and after a few conversations with owner James Lepak and a look at JDL’s work, Bill knew he’d found the perfect builder to create his ground-up spec home—a classic single-story Cape Cod with the latest in 21st century conveniences and energy-saving technology.

Link to Attention to Detail

I am pleased to inform you that I hired James Lepak of JDL Construction to build my new home at 2321 Holly Lane in Newport Beach. I interviewed several local builders and obtained bids from each of them prior to hiring JDL. James was not only one of the most reasonably priced builders that I met with, but also the fastest. All of the other builders I met with quoted approximately 12 months to demolish the existing foundation and build a new 3,100 square foot house.

James started the job on February 1, 2009, and completed the construction on September 15, 2009 (only 7 and 1/2 months). James and his team were very professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I will definitely use James again for any construction or remodeling jobs I may have in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone I know.
